MISLEADING STATISTICS.
Indignant Colored People of Massachusetts,

Indignant Colored People of Massachusetts Pc
tition for Census Correction.
Boston, March 12.-There has just been
discovered here great error in the census
statistics of Massachusetts, due to the fact
that school-teachers and employers did not
discriminate between whites and blacks.
There is a perfect craze here to continue the
old abolition cry Of equal rights, etc. This
led the citizens to fear to make distinction
to the Government official. The result is that
while the general population remains the
same the number of colored citizens recorded
shows falling off of 20 per cent in the last
census, so that one would think there had
been n general emigration. The funniest
part of the trouble is that the colored people
themselves are most indignant at the inter-
ference of the whites. as the census of school
report shows a colored attendance of only
500 out of population of 1900, making it
appear that they sadly neglected their chill
dren's education. The leading colored citi-
zens are obtaining signatures to petition

FARMERS DISAGREE.
War and Di Sension Amors The ASrl.
cultural Organizations Of Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD Qll), March 12.-War and
dissension is rife among the agricultural or
CARNATIONS of the Slate. The election of
General Palmer by the votes of Representa-
tiveS Moore and COckrell has caused di-
vision among the Farmers Mutual Benefit
lodges of Illinois, and the breach will be
widened by an address issued tonight by A.
j. Streeter, the recent Senatorial candidate,
and Representative Taubeneek, the single
farmer member who remained true to the
independent candidate. They argued at
length to show the inconsistency of Moore
and C0ckrelPs vote, reciting how in the
farmers conference a short time ago both
men declared themselves perfectly satisfied
with Streeter's promises to the Republican
Steering Committee and asserted that they
would never vote for Palmer. Streeter told
the Republican committee that he would
maintain the principles of the +. NJ. b. A.
and other agricultural and labor organiZa-
tions, but in consideration OF the support Of
the Republicans he should be at liberty to
vote with the latter on other issues. His
tariff views, he said, are the result of thought
and investigation and are nearly in harmony
with those of the Republican party.
His experience made him know that
In some States there is need OF law to pro-
tect the people in their right to free ballot
and fair count, and lie would be glad to sup
port any reasonable measure to that end.
At the same conference Cockrell told of an
interview he, Moore and Tauheneck had

hardships Of the farmers. and Palmer
said he did not know 4 remedy.

CoRBiN's SCHEME.
Origin of the Story of the Contemplated Fast
European Steamer Service.


NEW YORK, March II, - Alexander r.
Smith, editor OF SeabOard, says that he pre-
pared the statement for his paper giving an
outline of Austin CoTbin's latest scheme Tor
a swift service from Montauk Point, l.. l.,
to Milford Raven, England, and he is salts
fed that every line of it is true. 81 went to
see Corbin when l received the informa-
ton, and asked for an interview. l was in
formed that he was engaged, and asked to
state my business | did SO in a note, and
received a reply that he was unable to see
me, ana Judging from his eYasye manner
became satisfied that my information was
correct and printed the story. l received il
from Washington, and was informed that
the plans had been submitted to the SecEe-
taTy OF the Navy"
Despite COrbin's denials the story is be-
lieved in maritime circles. Your corrc-
spondent at Washington calle.l upon Secre-
tary Tracy last night, and was informed
that as yet COrbin had presented no plans.
The Secretary thought that 1t was very
likely that C0rDin intended TO establish a
line of steamers, but that it might prove to
be some time before the plans were pre-
pared and filed. 1t was learned at the de-
partment that Cramp, the Philadelphia
ship-builder, expects to construct two large
24-knot steamships very soon, to be used 10
carrying the mails, but for whom they are
to be constructed could not be ascertained.
