left the office. OF course the boy
misunderstood the order. He
thought he had been told to be sure

National Convention.
CHICAGO, Special.-The national conven-
ton of Afro-American leagues was called
to order to-day by T. Thomas Fortune, ed
itor Of the Age, of New York. Delegates
were present from twenty-one states and the
District Of Columbia, but the delegates from
the State of Illinois more thar o~utnumbered
all the rest. Altogether there were 200 col
ored persons in the theater when the pro-
ceedings commenced. T. T. Fortune was
chosen temporary chairman, and addressed
the meeting. He said:
We are met here to-day, representatives
Of 8 1000, 600 free men, who know III rights
and have the courage to defend them. We
are met here to-day to emphasize the fact
helplessness upon men who have used us
for selfish and unholy purposes, who have
murdered and robbed and outraged US,
must be reversed. We have been robbed of
the honest wages of our toll; we have been
robbed Of the substance of our citizenship
by murder and intimidation; we have been
outraged by our enemies AID deserted by

as an Afro-American first, last and all the
time, ready to stab to death any political
party which robs me of my confidence and
vote and straightway asks me what I am
going to do about it. ;
In conclusion he urged the convention
to leave each local league free to pursue
such political course in its immediate COM

seem to indicate. In national affairs the
league should not commit itself officially
to any party. c.. ]. Taylor, ex-minister to

THE A r

Four Persons Testify to Seeing the
OF EustOn in the West End
House.
LONDON, Specialize case of the earl of
Euston against Mr.. Parke, editor of the
North London Press, for criminal libel in
charging that the earl was implicated in
the West end scandal, came up for trial in
the Old Bailey to-day. Sir Charles Russell,
counsel for the earl of Euston, opened the
case, and said he would prove that
Mr.. Parke had published q libel.
Mr.. Lockwood, of counsel for the defense,
in reply censured Sir Charles for withhold
ing the earl of Euston for cross-examina-
ton at the preliminary hearing until the
evidence for the defense had been given.
Mr.. Lockwood declared that the earl had
shirked going into the witness box, and
preferred to rely upon Sir Charles attack
upon the witnesses for the de-
Tense, who were necessarily tainted.
A coal dealer Eamed O'Loughlin,
living twenty-seven yards from Hammond's
house on Cleveland street; a railway porter
named Grinley, a barman named O'Lough-
lin, and Hannah Vorgan, residing opposite
Hammond's, were called to identify the
earl of Euston as a visitor at Hammond's.
After some hesitation, the earl of Euston in
the meantime standing by, by Sir Charles
directions, they said they had seen him
enter the house ON different occasions. Sir
Charles commented upon the hesitation
shown by the witnesses, and declared that
their Identification of the earl
was ~valueless. John Saul testified
that in May, 1887, he met the
earl of Euston in Piccadilly and drove with
him to Hammond's house, where they COM
mittcd q criminal action. The earl of Euston
testified that, with the exception of the time
when in consequence of receiving the pose
plastique card in Piccadilly he visited
Hammond's house and left indignant upon
earning It's true character, he was never
know the witness Saul, and denied that he
had made any of the visits to Hammond's
house testified to by the preceding wit
neSSes.

MUST WAIT UNTIL SPRING,
Settlers Cannot Take Land on tn.
Sioux Reservation for Severa

Settlers Cannot Take Land on the
Sioux Reservation for Several
Months. ys-.
WASHINGTON, Special telegram
President Harrison, in his proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation, will prob
ably take plecaution to save what he be-
lleves would be o calamity to many intend
ing settlers by fixing a time when settlement
may be made. 1t is not known at what
date he will allow settlers to take up the
lands, but there is an intimation that some
time in the spring has been decided upon.
The president wishes to declare it opened
before the time fixed by law for the expira-
ton of the treaty, and at the same time
save settlers the disasters they might meet
in going upon the land in wild winter.
He will. therefore, proclaim the pro-
visions OF the treaty complied with,
and fix a time when settlers
may go upon the lands. The South Da-
kota members are anxious to have the
proclamation issued early, so that they
may secure legislation on several matters.
They want to place Pierre in one of the
land districts and Chamberlain in the
other. They want to establish these land
offices and appoint the officers. There are
several minor matters that will need atten-
ton in congress and in the interior depart
ment as Q as the proclamation is once
issued. and the South Dakotans are in a
hurry to get the business cleared up. If
Representative Gifford's bill allowing the
location ofSioux scrip upon the reservation
becomes q law the townsite trouble will be
obviated, and the man who has q town site
can secure his scrip and title to the lands.
IT will prove q wise provision, inasmuch as
it will enable some good towns to be built
where they are needed.

.Jeff Davis Ancestry.

This town, says q PhiHipsburg
PA. correspondent ofthe Philaadeal-
phia Press, has as q citizen q repre-
sentative Of the family of the late
Jefferson Davis, in the person OF MI.
John M. Davis, and q stanch republi-
can.
MI. Davis, who is q well preserved
old gentleman about 20 year Of age,
gave the following account OF the
family.
envy father ancestors came origin
ally from Wales. The founder OF
the Davis family to which / belong
and of which Jefferson Davis was 2
member was so unfortunate as to
lose his wife, she having been stolen
by Indians shortly after settling in
Maine, of which state he was one OF
the very first settlers. After waiting
a respectable length Of time he mar
ried again, and began to rear q sec
ond family of children. One day he
heard that a band of Indians had
some women for sale somewhere up
on the Canadian border. He attend
ed the sale, when he was surprised to
see among them his former wife. He
bought her, took her home, and
from that time until his death lived
happily with both his wives in the
same household.
"a grandson of his, and q great
uncle to myself" continued Nh. Davis,
"attended, one day, an animal show
at Newfeld, Me. While passing one
of the elephants it playfully reached
into his coat pocket; taking there
from plug oftobacco. When he had
tasted the tobacco it became enraged
at Davis, and selling him threw him
across the tent, to the great amuse-
ment of the spectators. Mr.. Davis
became very angry, and to obtain
revenge waylaid the menagerie and
shot the beast. For this he was COM
PEELED to leave the place, and alltrace
of him was for many years lost by
the family.
"My sister, Mrs. Smiley, who, with
her husband, settled at Haverhill,
Mass, was enabled by the assistance
OF other members ofthe family, about
the time of the centennial, to find
that the descendants of the hero of
the elephant escapade had settled in
Massachusetts, and that from them
had sprung the ex-president."
