ret of the colored colony of Oklahoma, ar
rived to-day and states that there are now
fully 1000 colored people in Oklahoma
and the colonization work will be pushed
in all the cities of the West. Col. Mason,
of Mississippi, who has been here two
weeks, is advocating the purchase of the
the Cherokee strip for settlement by the
colored race. Several prominent negroes
of this city are moving in that direction
and will ask President Harrison TO ap-
point commission of colored men TO ne
gotiate with the Cherokces for the pur.
chase of the strip for homestead settle
ment for their own race exclusively. This
proposition is folnded on information that
the Indians are willing TO have the colorcd
people settle on the strip. 1t is urged tina,
a strong and united effort be made to this
end, and the Afro-A American league which
meets shortly in Chicago will be requested

RELATIONS WITH CANADA.
Proceedings Before the Senate Com
nittee Now in New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.--The Senate
committee on Canadian affairs met here
to-day and heard the testimony of Eastern
fishermen in regard to the trouble they ex-
perienced in fishing and securing bait in
Canadian waters.
Senator Hoar stated that Great Britian
always conceded to the United States the
commercial rights Of fishing vessels. He
ALWAYS favored the Interpretation that
that right was invested in American fish
ermen. He declared that Great Britain
always acted in harmony with Canada on
the question whenever the matter came in
Department should take steps at once to
decide the matter finally.
In reply to question by Senator Dolph
for a remedy, one witness said that the
| only remedy he knew of was retaliation.
Erastus Wiman made an argument in
favor of annexinp Canada.
Senator Hoar said that in his opinion
and that of his colleagues the movement
toward annexation mnst come from Can
ada.
Francis Wayland Glenn, a former resi-
dent Of Canada and a member of the Do
minion Parliament for nine years previous
to 1856, said: Canada will come here un-
less the people of the United States pre-
vent her. She sees the milk and honey
beyond the ST. Lawrence and she wants
to share it,
Mr.. Glenn, in support of his statement,
said that Canada had adopted the free
school system, decimal calculation, and
the election methods of the United States
and was more eager to adopt American
business principles than she was those of
England. Canada also wanted free access
to American markets. He held, in fact,
that she would declare her Independence
OF English power and annex herself to
the United States. The witness did not
favor the commercial union of which Mr..
Wiman talked. Many leading Canadians,
the speaker held, favored annexation. In
stead of reading English magazines, Can
ada read American publications and more
Canada youths are educated, he said, in
American colleges than in British univer-
sites. He thought that Sir John McDon-
aid was politician and not a statesman.

BAD NEWS FROM G..RMANY.

New YORK. Dec. ga London
cable to the Times says:
The formless rumors mentioned lastweek

recurrence of the terrible ear pains &c
which he has always been more or less
subject As has been frequently explained
before, his abnormal res,lessness is largely
due to his persistent pain. To escape
thinking about it he seeks for incessant
work or for diversion of some sort.
His nocturnal trick of surprising the
whole garrison by routing them out for in,
stantaneous duty merely reflects u tortur.
ing inability to sleep. He also reads n
great deal, and se,zcs opportunities for
discussion on all kinds of topics with his
intimates, in the heat of which he strives
to forget his grievous malady.
A fortnight ago he took cold while shoot.

mild phase of tho prevalent influenza,
brought on an accute visitation Of his car
ache, aud under the infiiction of which he
has bcen doing suudry queer little things,
which, being noted by those about him,
have spread an indefinable feeling of alarm
among court people.
Ny informant, who has close connection
In Berlin, used the significant word
"Wahnsinn" TO summarize the accounts
he received Of the Enperors state.
OF course the German papers do not
breathe word of this. Long ago they

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-Miss Alice Jackman,
the 16-year-old heiress, who was abducted
in November last by the Spinks, has
again disappeared and this time it is her
former abductors who are lett with the
bag to hold.
Last night she left the house about 6
O'Clock to 90 to fruit store a short dis
tance from the house and was TO return
in a few moments. A long time elapsed
and her guardian growing uneasy he
went in search of her, but inquiries de-
veloped th9 fact that she had not gone to
the store.
The search continued, but not trace
of the missing girl could be found. 1t is
believed that she has been forcibly car
ried away, and her guardian states that
while he can not say positively, he has
what he considers good clue by which
to detect her abductors.
1t has been ascertained by the police
that Alice Jackman was seized and fof,
cibly carried to the house of Mrs. Broth
ers and locked up in third story room.
By some means not unknown at present
she succeeded IN making her escape, and
made her way bach TO the house OF A.
Spinks, where she now is.
