Marvellous Manner in Which Amer
fca Is Becoming Settled.
LONDON, Special. The statement that only
about 100000 square miles of land suitab Ie
for settlement by emigrnnts remains in the
United States has come like revel lation to
Englishmen, most Of whom have been
clinging to the belief that America was
only lrali-settled and only partially civil
lied. The statement referred to has lust
been made before select committee OF the
house OF commons on colonization, to-
gether with the announcem ent that in
Australia there are 100000 square miles
and in Monitoba 100000 suitable for colon
ization purposes. The records show that
since 1916 12,50O,00O people have LETT the
United Kingdom, and of these 5000, 600
since 1858, of which 900. 900 were of British
and Irish origin. Two-thirds of these emf
grants went tothe United States, where pop
ulation, it increased i'll the same ratio as in
the past hundred years, would be ut the end
OF another hundred years LOCO, 900, 900, or
about 800 persons per square mile OF the
habitable portions of the country. Since
1876, against 3,O5o,O0o British people who
had emigrated. there were not quite mill
Ion emigrants into this country. The total
immigration had amounted to about one
half the excess OF births over deaths in this
country. The array of figures has convinced
the commission that immigration from
British Isles is no longer as desirable as for
merly, and the commission will recon-
mend in their report that stimulated and
assisted emigration be discontinued except
to Australia. Even in the latter named
country, however, immigrants are not as
welcome as they were, and Australians
have published report that while skilled
labor can find ample employment in the
colonies, there is an over supply Of CON-
mon. unskilled workmen.

burgh, the duke Of Cambridge, the
duke and duchess Of Teck, Prince and
Princess Hohenlohe, the duke Of Fife, the
duke of Argyle, the Comte dc Paris and q
brilliant assemblage of leaders of all classes
were in attendance at the reception given to
Henry NJ. Stanley by the Royal Geo
graphical society in Albert hall tonight.
A triumptal procession, headed by the
prince Of Wales and the other royalties led
Stanley and his colleagues into the hall
which was packed. As they entered, the
assemblage rose en- masse and applauded
the explorer. The president Of the society
welcomed Stanley and his companions and
presented them with medals, whereat there
was another tremendous outbreak of ap-
plause. Mr.. Stanley thanked the society
ON behalf of himself and his colleagues,
and proceeded to narrate his ad
ventures in Africa, assisted by huge chart
upon which he traced his route. Carp
ers, he said, had asked what was the utility
of his expedition. To them he would say
that the gain to humanity had been great.
1t had opened up rich and productive re-
gion and would enable the teaching of mill
lions of degraded human beings that in the
vegetable products of the country they
would find something of far greater value
than the flesh OF their fellow creatures.

rejoice that the few thousands Of pounds lent to
this work has rescued 400 people from slavery,

livered Emin from II stagnant state Of impossi
bilities to active service with . friendly state"

1t Is Laid on a Dubuque Bridegroom
and Places Him in Jail.
DUBUQUE, Special Telegram
Three weeks ago splendid team of horses
was stolen from the stable of Jacob Zolli-
Golfer, five miles north of this city. The
thief rode one Of the horses and led the
other to Galena, ILL.,, where they were sold
to ]. c. Underwood of Lena ILL.,, for $500.
Early this morning Sheriff Phillips entered
the residence of Charles Grutzmachcr, at
Washington and Sixteenth streets, and tore
him from the arms Of his newly made bride
on the charge of being the thief. Under
wood, to whom the horses were
sold, was the sheriff, and he pos
itively identified Grutzmacher. He is now
confined in Jail. Several other horses have
been stolen in this vicinity recently, and
Grutzmachcr is thought to be the guilty
man. With the money obtained from the
sale of the stolen horses he got married last
week to pretty German girl and set up
housekeeping. He had the nerve to invite
Zollicotfer, from whom the team asstolcn,
to his wedding. The invitation was ac-
ccpted, and Zollicofi'er and his family made
merry at the marriage OF the man who had
robbed them. Grutzmachcr is 81 barber by
trade, but has leen taking q lay-otf for sew
eral weeks. This, with the fact that he had
plenty Of money, led the sheriff to suspect
him in consequence of repeated cases of
horse stealing of late. The farmers Of this
county have organized an anti-horse thief
association. They can now disband.

PERSISTENT RELATIVES.
Montana Prisoner.

Efforts Made to Secure Pardon for
a Montana Prisoner.
WASHINGTON. Special Telegram
The persistency, tears and pleadings of the
mother and two sisters of q man now in the
Montana penitentiary have moved the
hearts OF high officials here to interfere in
his behalf The mans name is Rowand.
About two years ago he was convicted of
murder in the second degree and sentenced
to life imprisonment. A brother of Gov.
Toolc was his attorney, and all that could
be done at law was done to save him. He
came from Quebec, of good ancestry, and
his family was wealthy. He was and is
still subject of the queen. As soon as he
was imprisoned his mother and two sisters
began the weary work of seeking q
pardon for him. The governor of
Montana was said to have been
disposed to exercise clemency, but the
board of pardons Of the state refused: The
mother went to Ottawa and there laid her
case before the Canadian premier. He be-
came interested and at length wrote to Sir
Julian Pauncefotc, the British minister
hero; asking him to intercede on behalf of
Rowand. The mother and daughters ar
rived here some days ago. They saw Sir
Julian and, with tears; laid their case be-
lore hlm. lie responded anu wrote Secre.
tary Blaine asking. as an international
courtesy that he use his influence to secure
the pardon. The letter was taken to the
state department by the mother, and in re-
sponse to the request Secretary Blaine has
written the board of pardons of Montana,
asking if, as courtesy between nations, q
pardon cannot be granted to young Row.
and. Mrs. Rowand and her daughters are
still here anxiously waiting to know the}re-
suit of all their pleadings for the son and
brother.

Breckenridge investigating committee list
encd to the evidence of over one hundred
witnesses to-day, the majority of whom
were negroes, put upon the stand for the
purpose of proving how they voted at the
presidential election. The most important
witness called to-day was Oliver T. Bentley,
the man whom Clayton suspects of having
killed his brother. Bentley is the deputy
sheriff of Conway county, and claims to
have been in Morrillton on the night that
Clayton was killed at Plummerville. To.
day he handed the committee papers in the
divorce case of Luther vs.. Luther, which he
served on Lydia Luther and others Tues
day, Jan. %, 1888, across the river from Nor
rillton. He returned from across the river
about o'clock in the afternoon. About
dark that night he served notice on John
Hinkle, the attorney. to take deposition in
the case Feb. 8. Hinkle appeared before
the committee and corroborated the testi.
mony given on this point by Bentley. Wit

An Address on That Subject by

WASHINGTON, Special. Archbishop Ireland
of st. Paul preached in st. Augustine
(colored) Catholic church in this city to a
large congregation of white and colorcd
people on Social Equality" He was pre-
pared to say that there was no such thing
as color line except in the minds of those
whose intellects were cloudcd by unjust
reasoning. The solution Of the question
was that they should look one another in
the face as members of the same family,
children Of the same God, and all living
under the same teachings of religion, reason
and virtue. Because of the simple accident
Of color, it did not follow that they were to
be treated on different lines religio,,sly and
socially They were all of the same an
cestry, alike in the possession of souls and
being Gods children, and it was entirely q
matter of accident whether they were black,
white or red 1t was wrong to neglect at
tcntion to substance and direct it only to
the accident. and Of all accidents in life, the
one of color was the least important. He
felt ashamed that prejudices of this kind
should exist. especialiyin the itedStates.
