The Mission of Two Visitors From Liberia
Needs of Their Country.
Hon. Newton J. Squires and Rev. c. M.
Billsby, two prominent citizens OF the
African Republic, of Liberia. passed
through Pittsburg last night, en- route tor
Chicago. Both gentlemen are colored, ana
have remarkably intelligent features MI
Squires has served since 1884 In
the National Council of Liberia, and was
from 1886 to 1888 Secretary OF the
Interior. He is Chief Commissioner
on colonization, and in this capacity has
been dispatched to America to study opin-
ion here on the proposed emigration OF our
negroes to Africa.
Mr.. Billsby first became noted as mis-
sionary among the unconverted Africans,
and has written q volume on his lapors In

tsry Of the Liberian Colonization Commis-

ing community in Liberia, but we would
thrive still more if we had an injection OF
new and pure American negro blood. Un-
fortunately, we admitted some white
men into our colony, and we lind
that the half-breeds Of the State
constitute a thorn in our side, and are uni
tormly idle and shiftless. The Coloniza-
tion Commission was appointed by our
Council to discuss the advisability of adding
fresh territory, and inducing civilized and
industrious negroes from America to settle
thereon. Our capital, Monrovia, could
easily be made center of trade and an ad-
mirable market town for State produce.
The new lands would be set at q very low
price"
The commissioners stated further that
they had stopped little in New York and
were about to visit Chicago, after which
they would 20 South. Mr.. Billsby re-
marked that their intention was to ulti-
mately advertise in several Of the chief
newspapers for such negroes as desired to
settle in Liberia. The new provinces will

Mr.. 81. P. Callow, one of the employing
printers and jobbers of the city who are in

not the slightest feeling of antagonism

The organization is for mutual pro-

Why the p. r. r. Seaside Excursions Must
Become Popular.

In last Sundays Dispatch attention was
called to the series of excursions the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company proposes to run
to the seashore during the months of July
and August. Two will be in July, viz: the
10th and oath, and in August and q. They
have become wonderfully popular. The
perfect manner in which they are handled,
the parlor cars run on the special day trains
and Pullman's finest chair and sleeping
cars, are models of elegance.
An impression prevails among the travel
ing public that the patronage Of these low
rate excursions are not first class. In con-
versatlon a few days ago with prominent
business man in this city, be assured US that
he had made number of trips every year,
taking in Atlantic City, Cape MAY and the
numerous points on the Jersey coast. The
low rate at which these tickets are sold, SO
for the round trip, and limited to ten days
from date of sale, enables not only the busi-
ness man and his family, but the working
men for ten-days' outing, to enjoy dip
in the ocean.

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CRAMPS.
When You Feel the Pain Take n Mixture OF
Heated Flour nud whisky.

Heated Flour nud whisky.
An ancient physician was leaning against
a post yesterday summing himself with
the afternoon heat.
''What is a simple and efFectual remedy
for cramps, doctor?" was asked.
"a timely question, my boy" he an
swered quickly. "This is the season of the
year when men are doubled up without cere-
mony. Flour and whisky are two simple
ingredients. and easily obtainable. The
violent pain can be stopped by heating a
spoonful of each and after mixing them
drink the decoction down. It soon gives re-
lief, and if persisted in will soon restore the
infamed stomach to healthy condition"

THE WORLDS FAIR.

= News from Chicago is not reassuring. The
.wrangle between the local Directory and the
: National Commission promises to become
more fierce than ever. The local Directory
, holds. that the power Of the National Com
mission is limited to kind of su ervision
which does not supervise-which simply ap-
proves. The action of the local Directory is
the natural result Of local guarantee fund.
Probably if any other city had put $40, Goo
eco iRto.the enterprise it would insist upon
having the handling of the money The
original plan of the Columbian Exposition
was radically wrong. 1t should have been
;. a rational undertaking, held at the national
capital and carried on with national money.
States and cities might have teen allowed to
contribute to the Building Fund, with a
view to ample provision for their especial
: displays, but all action by local boards
: should have been subj CT to the approval of
the general management. The Government
should have loaned what money was needed,
): without much regard to amount. An inter-
national industrial exposition is something
which should be conducted without other
regard to outlay than that which provides
against waste. The advantage to the coun-
Try of really successful exposition could
hardly be computed in dollars and cents. On
1.-The other hand, a display which is pro-
:. nounced comparative failure will do meal
: -culable harm. The National Commission of
Chicago would be riehtif il, or the Govern
=: ment it represents, Lad furnished the money.
!: But it is not so clear that lot of outsiders
SHOULD be allowed to handle the money
which Chicago has provided. Perhaps the
:. hest thing that Congress can now do is to
quash proceedings and begin over again. A
. double head, each fighting for supremacy,
does not promise satisfactory result.

NO SETTLEMENT,
Chinese Companies Fail to Adjust Tong
Ynonp,s a VA

Chinese Companies Fail to Adjust Tong
YooDg's Affairs.
There is likely to I've very serious trouble
in the Chinese quarters owing to the failure
of the six Chinese companies to make sat
isfactory adjustment of the chaotic affairs of
Tong Yoong 81 Co., the absconding firm. A
second meeting of the companies was held
yesterday at the Consulate, but no result
beneficial to the 240 starving Chinese Gamers
defrauded by Tong Yoong q Co. was ar
rived at.
As a last resort an appeal was issued to
the wealthy Chinese merchants to subscribe
to fund for the benefit of the workmen,
who are wel-nigh distracted over their des-
titute condition after years hard work in
the Kodiack canneries, Alaska. Some of
them will accept portion Of the wages due,
but others hold out for the full amount.
They threaten to destroy the store of Tong
Wo 81 Co, 720 Sacramento street, and pillage
it in a body. This firm signed bonds to the
Kodiack Packing Company for Tong Yong
Il Co., but did not guarantee payment of
wages. The Chinatown squad in charge of
Sergeant Spillane is watching the men
closely, and keeping in readiness for raid
by them on the store Of Tong Wo 81 Co.

NATIONAL Discomfort.

Mr.. James Bryce, author of the Common
wealth, recently said in lecture in Brook
yn; \. Y, that he thought the people of the
. United States were beginning to feel the
pressure of that depression and discomfort
that exists in the countries of Europe. Mr.
Bryce has made three visits to this country
at intervals OF about ten years, and has
therefore better chance to judge of the
condition of the American mind than for
eigners who print their faint impressions.
There is much reason to doubt. however, if
his present conclusion is correct. 1t is almost
: absurd to contend that the majority of our
people have not more confidence in the future
,.Of the country than in 1870. We were then
= at the beginning of that industrial activity
= which has since produced such wonderful re-
suits. The war was over, but the South was
not reconciled to the political situation.
The States lately in rebellion had not been
convinced by experience Of the advantages
of union. The Southern people were sulien,
if not hostile. We had not then heard the
first of the many expressions of loyalty to
the Government that have since become so
common. In 1881, when Mr. Bryce made
his second visit, the country was in the ex-
:. hiliaration of its first industrial boom.
Everybody was making money. The re-
iiemption of currency which began in 1879
:, Invited capital into new enterprises without
apprehension Of depreciation Of values. 1t
was one of the most prosperous years the
country has ever experienced. In 1890 we
are farther along in the same path of pre-
;gress Enterprises which were then an ex-
pertinent are now assured In some branches
!. OF manufacturing we are allie to compete
with foreigners. The progress. from 1880 to
1890 las been satisfactory. The boom of
1881 has not continued through the decade.
but the accumulation of wealth has been
past former experiences. Thoughtful men
who doubted the ability of the people to
govern themselves have become convinced
: that while popular government is not per-
feet. it is infinitely preferable to any form of
government the Old World presents to US.
p: Oi course, there are discontinued people In
this as in other countries. Contentment
:: does not always result from an improve
. nfent of conditions. The elevation of
the masses enables them to see what better
conditions are within their reach. But
there is very little discomfort which takes
the form of anarchy or any of the kindred
methods of effecting results. The license
given to speech in this country creates the
Impression that there is more hostility to the
Government than there really is.

A Missing Man.

Mrs. H. Buch Of 329 Twenty-seventh
street reported on Tuesday last that her
husband, Henry Buch, had not returned
home from work the previous night. In
quiry yesterday revealed the fact that the
man is still missing, and, as his habits were
of the best, fears of foul play are enter
tanned concerning him. He is tall, welt
proportioned German, a carpenter by trade,
80 years of age, 5 feet, 912 inches high, IT'S
pounds weight, and. with the exception of
long, heavy, sandy mustache, was clean
shaven. He has blue eyes, dark brown
hair mixed with gray, and is rather thin of
features. He wore double breasted sack
coat of dark-blue cloth, soft black felt hat,
white shirt without collar or tie, gold watch
and chain, plain gold ring on third finger
and gold shirt-studs representing dollar
coins
