Secretary Tracy after summing up the
number of American warships in Chinese
waters remarked: "If. however. Amerl-
oan missions and American citizens in
China are to rely upon gunboats for their
protection, rather than upon the Chinese

Tracy.

In case of riot or other disturbance, ves>
sells Of either of the four nations will afford
refuge to citizens of any Of the other ma

known whether or not a combined naval
demonstration will be necessary

BOSTON, MASS. Sept. 21.-Bishop Heury
Mcneil Turner spoke to large congre-
cation of colored people last night in the A.
NJ. E. church on Charles street on his pro-
posed trip to Africa and in advocacy Of the
migration Of 100, 900 or $50, 900 of the colored
race to that continent. HIS observation, he
said, had taught him that there was little
hope for the colored race in this country /.
that the best thing a number of them could
do was to go to some other country, set up
q government of their own and demonstrate
that they had in them native ability to ad-
minister affairs of state. In Africa be saw
such a country. 1t was rich in gold, silver,
precious stones and minerals OF all discrip-

themselves would need to make them
strong and mighty. He solemnIy
believed that the black men
ana women in America would
finally be the instrument to redeem and
Christianize Africa and plant on her soil
one of the grandest governments the sun
ever shone upon. A few weeks ago in
conversation he had with President Harri-
son the latter wondered why the colored
people took so little interest in the subject.
The bishop stated that in his talk with Presi-
dent Harrison On the subject he suggested
an appropriation by congress to purchase
tract of land in Africa and the appointment
of commission of twelve, seven colored
and five white, to carry on negotiations.
