MING SHAPE.
The Negro Exodus from Carolina Be-
ginning In Earnest.

CHARLESTON, S. c., January 23.-The ex-
odus of fcolored people from Barnwell seems
to be assuming shape.
Emigration agents landed there the day
after the recent lynching and at once began
to work on the excited negroes. Over 200 of
them, with all their worldly goods packed in
small bundles. are now at the depot await
ing transportation to the West.
A meeting Of colored citizens was in ses-
sion nearly all day yesterday. Resolutions
favoring emigration were offered. Governor
HagoOd addressed the meeting. He told the
negroes that they ought to be very careful In
the step they were taking, and advised them
to send advance agents to ascertain the COM
ties to which they were urged to go and said
1t was utter folly for those who had accumu-
lated property to sell hastily and go to a land
and people of whom they knew nothing.
Being asked the question whether in the
future he would guarantee their safety, he
replied that he could not. but judging the fu-
ture by the past ne thought that the two
races could get on well together. He said
the lynching that had taken place was the
first In the history of the county, and that
the general record of the past ought to be
the best guarantee for the future.
The meeting was also addressed by several
colored men. While the speech Of Governor
HagOOd seems to have had the effect Of in
formally tabling the emigration resolution;
for the present, yet the general sentiment ol
the meeting seems to have been in favor Of
an exodus, and those who have made theil
arrangements to 30 today will go.
The agents have promised to pay theil
way.

Rev. ]. j. Lewis Of Sonth Boston gave
very interesting and instructive lecture,
| illustrated by stereopticon pictures on trip
which he took two years ago through the
| Dominion of Canada by the Canadian Paci-
| fic Railway. The route taken was from Bos-
| ton over the Lowell road. the Concord, and
the Montreal to Montreal. Thence west
ward over the Canadian Pacific which the
| speaker said was the longest line Of railway
under one management on the globe. A map
of the route was first shown and the speaker
showed that the present route up the st.
Lawrence to Europe was an out of the way
route for the through line. He said that 1t
was only question of time when In spite Of
| the incl tia and the short sightedness of the
| New England people the traffic should be
diverted to its proper outlet the city of Port
land. A series of views shown in rapid sue
cession gave some Of the principal points Of
| interest in the transcontinental route. In
regard to the capitol buildings at Ottawa he
| said that the New Englander viewing them
| might do so with the feeling that in time it
| would all be his, worthy capitol Of the
| worthy State of Ontario. Passing along to
| the st. Clair river he shaved a battery of
cannon on the American side pointing to-
ward Canada, and said that he hoped the
time would also soon come when this emblem
OF war should give way to row of statues
emblematic Of the brotherhood of the two
nations now separated by this stream. After
leaving the region that stretches for three
hundred thousand square miles around the
northern lakes, and the prairie land five
hundred miles further on the travellers
comes to the grand mountain chains that the
railroad pushed by the Dutch Yankee Van
Horn has climbed over, gone around, or bur-
rowed through, and from the time when 1t Is
| first reached to the shores Of the Fraser and
the Columbia, it is all one grand panorama
Of magnificent and at the same time awful
mountain scenery. Some of the views Of
the great glacier in the Hermit range and the
Banff Springs region with the charming
moonlight effects were especially taking
with the audience and called forth warm ap-
plause. Photographs of Lucius Tuttle aud
of President Van Horn also called forth
hearty welcome, and when in closing the
well-known features Of the pastor Of the
church were shown ON the screen the ap-
plause became general.

THE REV LEAGUE.
Organization of the American Wom.
ans Temperance League.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 23.-The nom
partisan ladies now meeting in Cleveland
for the purpose of organizing National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. are
doing their work with great deliberation
The session of the convention this morning
was devoted to the discussion of the pro-
posed constitution. The unions at Skowhe-
gan, Maine, and Montpelier, Vermont, sent
words of hope and courage in kilograms. A
letter from the poet Whittier was received,
in which he says he always regretted the ac-
tion of the w. G. t. U. in taking a partisan
position. The address does not, by any
Gneans, impeach the motive of the noble and
Z devoted women of that organization He
has seen no good accomplished by their sep
! arate political action, and hopes that non
partisan temperance workers will not waste
their time and strength combating a politi-
cal Organization A letter was read from
George W. Cable, the novelist. The commit

deepest solicitude the appalling evils of in
temperance, and believing that a non-parti-
san, non-sectarian organization of Christian
women, devoted solely to the cause Of tenn
perance, is greatly needed, we unite our
selves together for this purpose" The or
ganiZatiOn will be known as the American
Woman's Christian Temperance League.
There will be five departments of work
evangelical, educational. legislative, literary
and young wOmen's. One section of the con-
stitution declares that no officer shall pledge
the support of the organization to any politi-
cal psrty or religious sect. Any temperance
society can become an auxiliary by signing
the constitution. The name caused much
discussion, and was finally agreed to. All
the remaining sections were adopted.

LEASING SYSTEM rAE BEST.
Secretary Window on the Manage
ment of the Seal Islands.

WASHINGTON, January 23-Secretary
Window has written letter to Hon. VIM.
p. Frye, chairman of the committee on com
merce, in which he acknowledges the re-
ceipt OF a letter from the committee enclos-
ing the Senate bill "to repeal so much Of the
act of July l, 1870. as authorizes the leasing
of rights to engage in taking fur seals from
the islands OF st. Paul and St. George and
for other purposes" and requesting the Sec
retary to furnish the committee with such
suggestions as he may deem proper, touching
the merits of the bill and the propriety of its
passage. The bill provides that the present
system of leasing the right of taking fur
seals from their well known rookeries in
Behring Sea for al agreed compensation
paid to the government, be discontinued The
Secretary of the Treasury shall assume the
management and control of such business in
all its details The bill seems further to di-
rect the Secretary of the Treasury ssto as
sumo the management and control of the
taking and killing OF any and all otter, mink,
marten, sable and other fur bearing animals
within the limits of Alaska territory. or the
waters thereof, and the marketing of the
skins of such animals in the prescribed man

AGAIN SHOWED UNDER.
Trains Stlll Stuck In the Drifts on Pa
cific Roads.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23-On each OF
the last eight days Southern Pacific officials
have felt hopeful that the following day
would see the blockade raised. A fresh
storm has come and the tracks have been
showed under almost as soon as cleared. No
attempt will be made to move the two West
bound trains at Truckee, nor the four at
Reno, as the comfort of the passengers can
be looked out for better at these places than
at any Othe. point in the mountains. The
blockade at Cascade would prevent the pas
sage of trains. 1t will be impossible to do
much work at the blockade between Cas-
cade and Summit for the present.
PORTLAND. Ore, January 90. The Union
Pacific trairs are again blockaded. Trains
river. and trains going East are blockaded
at Pendleton. The state of the weather is
not very favorable and it cannot be- deter
mined how long the blockade will last II

bers Of the Boston Atheneum Company are
still in the train in the mountains. Though
alive, they are not out of danger, and are

they will be rescued this week.
They are blockaded up on a SHE track at
Shady Run, half way up the mountains be-
tween Colfax and the summit of the Sier-
ras.

AMERICAN STEAMERS
compe ting With Subsidized Spanish
Vessels and English Tramps.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The public
nearing on the question Of the payment of
subsidies to American ships engaged in
foreign trade by the United States govern
ment was continued before the House COM
mittee on merchant marine today. VIII. T.
Hughes Of New York was the first speaker
He Is an officer of the company running
lines of steamers between New York and
Havana and other semi-tropical points in
America. There is competition, he said, on
the route between New York and Havana
with lines subsidized by the Spanish govern
ment. The Spanish lines receive subsidy
from their government aggregating $4,000
a year. The competing line makes but three
trips month. and the line with which he is
connected Is running ten trips a month. Mr..
Hughes recited the evil effects on shipping
wrought by the large number of tramp
steamers.
The lines in which the witness was inter-
terial found in the United States Should
the Fareuhar bill pass in its present form,
the lines would receive about $320,000 a year
In subsidy payments: The ships were
manned by American officers and seamen as
far as could be obtained. The wages of sea-
men, he said, had increased from $18 to S25
month in the last 10 years. In contrast to
this, the wages paid the Spanish seamen
were c nsiderably lower. Mr.. Hughes said
the tramp steamers, already spoken of, were
mostly of English make and were not re-
quired to pass American inspection laws.
They would not be able to stand such nspec-
tion. The witness said that the war was the
primary cause of the decline of the Ameri-
can merchant marine and it had not picked
up since then, partly because of the high
rate of wages prevailing in various employ
ments and partly because so much money
was invested In railroads. Mr.. Hughes said
If the government did not come to the aid of
his lines, they would, in the course of time,
be obliged to withdraw their steamers.
j. NJ. LachlaD, general manager of the
Brazilian Mail Steamship Company was the
next speaker. This line runs from New
York, via Newport News to St. Thomas,
Martinique, to ports In the Wlndward Is
lands and various ports In Brazil. The line
has three ships, built entirely of material
produced in America. Lachan said that
during the entire seven years of the exist
ence of the company it had not made a cent.
For four and half years the company car
ried the United States mails, for which
the government offered the company about
$4,000 which was not accepted The line
was under contract with the Brazilian gov
ernment for bringing the mails aud receives
about $4,000 year of 16 trips. But for
this contract the company would not be able
to exist.
At this point the committee adjourned
