IMMIGRATION TO DIXIE.
Nine. Beard May Locate a Bureau il
This City.

Washington, May 18,-Mme. L. J.
Valesquez Beard, in letter to Secretary
Carlisle, has set forth at great length the
object of the Southern Emigration So
ciety, in which he is deeply interested.
She desires to locate at either Savannah,
Ga, or Baltimore, Md, a bureau for
landing immigrants adapted to various
pursuits of the southern climate. More
than 700 immigrants, she states, with
money are ready to move to the south,
where already many parcels of land have
been put into a syndicate to form a
colony. A prospectus will be issued soon
giving details of her plan, which
from her letter is not clear She is quite
emphatic, however, in stating that 1--WE
desire to be entirely separate from the
branch in New York city, and that the
New York of to-day is not the great New
York OF the past" She does not want our
beautiful country overrun by Russian
Jews and the criminals of Siberia"
Supt. Herman Stump, to whom Secre-
tary Carlisle referred Nine Beard letter,
replied that the bureau of immigration
was in entire sympathy with the object
of her plan as far as understood, and
would await her promised prospectus.

CERMANY'S HOT CAMPAIGN.
Second Ballots Expected in Over a
Hundred Cases.

None ofthe Parties Yet Able to Fore
cast the Outcome From ANY Reliable
Data Candidates to Be Very Numer-
ous-Winners Must Have Majority
Over All Competitors.
Berlin, May l3.-The first week of the
electoral struggle ends without any of the
parties knowing where they stand, and
without any of them having anything like
Reliable data from which 10 forecast the
result Of the contest for members of the
reichstag The leaders OF the social de-
mocracy alone seem to retain thorough
grip upon their organization. They have
tonight 142 candidates in the field
and can now reasonably hope to secure
fifty-hve seats, gain of nineteen seats
over the number held by the party in the
last Reichstag. From the unprecedented
number Of candidates appearing 1t will be
impossible for the results of the first
days polling, on June Is, to decide the
general issue, and it is expected that the
vote on that day will not certainly estab-
lish the political character of the new
house.
MUST HAVE A MAJORITY OVER ALL.
A successful candidate requires u ma
iority over all his opponents, and the
large number of men seeking election and
reelection in the various constituencies
will make the required majority hard to
obtain in many cases. 1t is thought that
over leo second ballots will be necessary,
and it is therefore highly probable that
the end of summer will have been reached
before the house is finally constituted.
1t is doubtful whatever may be
the result of the elections
whether the Reichstag will even then be
convened for business. it is more likely
that twill meet only to hear the cmperor's
speech opening the session and then adj
journ till the usual period Of opening in
October. Meantime It Is evident that the
parties will be reconstructed on platforms
on which the army bill will have almost
secondary place The foremost planks of
the conservative platform already decided
upon are protectionism and bimetalism.

The Negroes to Hold Meeting During
the Columbia Carnival.

Columbia, S. c., May 13.-Tho recent
lynchings of negroes in this state are
having their effect with the colored race,
and a number of leading colored ministers
have issued a call for a conference to be
held here next Tuesday during the
Columbia carnival "to devise some plan
for the betterment of their condition as
people" The circular says: 1--WE sin
cerely deplore the condition of affairs in
the state that makes it necessary for this
call, but owing to the fact that as citizens
of one Of the states of this great COM
mOnwealth, occupying the anomalous
position of being without adequate pro-
lection for life or liberty, feeling
that the too frequent resorting to lynch
law and mob violence in this state is as
suming such frightful proportions, we
deem it absolutely and imperatively
necessary to call together leading or, at
least, the representative men of the race
from the various counties of the state for
the purpose of devising some plan or way
by which our condition may be bettered
and our lives made secure"

The Marietta and North Georgia Road
Ordered to the Block.

Atlanta, Ga, May 13.--A final decree
was taken in the United States court to-
day for the sale of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad. 1t is to be sold within
sixty days to the highest bidder. The
minimum price fixed by Judge Nowmans
order is 1925, 900 for the Georgia end Of
the line and $500, 600 for the Tennessee
portion-$1, ,725, ,0OO for the whole. The
road is to be sold under the petition Of
the Central Trust Company of New
York, who has it put in the hands of a
received couple of years ago, and other
bondholders and intervening creditors. II.
j. Lowry of Atlanta and Receiver Glover
of Marietta were named as commissioners
to dispose of the property. Under this
order the Summerfeld coreceiver ap-
pointment won't materialize. 1t also
destroys the prospect Of Atlanta having a
new through line composed of the Cum
berland Gap, the Marietta and North
Georgia, and the Atlanta and Florida,
which it was proposed to consolidate.

FRAUDS IN PENSIONS.
A Norfolk Attorneys Claims Now
Undergoing Investigation.

Washington, May 13-It was stated
to-day at the pension Office that up to last
Tuesday the pension examiners now in
Norfolk, Va, investigating the claims
filed by Pension Attorney Drewry, had
completed fourteen cases, all of which
had been found to be irregular or fraudu-
lent. The pension office officials are
searching the files for claims filed by At
torney Drewry which have been al
lowed, and so far 1866 have
been found and forwarded to the
examiners at Norfolk No computation
of the amounts paid onIthese claims has
been made, but as all of them were filed
under the act of June %, 1890, which
allows $l2 per month as the maximum
rate, it is probable that the average will
fall below 5000 each. Drewry is now
serving one year term in jail for fraud
uIent transactions in pension cases.
