CINCINNATI. Nov. 30.-The session of the
Afro-American League did not begin to-day
till the dusk of the evening. Its sole bust
ness was hearing the report of the commit
tee on emigration. la report was very
long. II recited the Ills of the Afro-Ameri-
can, and favored emigration to Africa as
the most certain and feasible mode of es-
cape from these ills. The report and the
discussion OF 1t did not employ the term
"colored man" The word negro or Afro
American was exclusively used. Strange to
say, while the report Of the committee was
unanimous in favor of the emigration plan,
Bisop Turner was the only one who favored
1t in the discussion. He said the United
States was indebted to the negro forty bill
lions of dollars for unrequited labor in slav-
the United States to give $500, 100000 to send
negroes TO Africa. He said that he knew
two million negroes We're anxious to emf
crate to Africa, and that he could on short
notice fill five hundred ships with them.
All the other speakers, and there were
nearly q score or them, vehemently opposed
the report, and as vehemently favored re-
naming in the United States and patiently
trust in God and the future to secure them
equality before the law. The discussion
took a wide range without let or hindrance,
and many of the speakers improved the
opportunity to discuss lynchingS and other
evils, and suggest remedies for-them- Even

KOKOMO, Ind, Nov. 30.-John Sollenber-
ger, a ~well-known young man of this city,
is mysteriously missing. not having been
heard from since Sept. 3. He was a travel
ing salesman for a patent appliance used
in canning factories, it being an invention
of his own that was a success and a ready
seller. Three months ago Sollenberger left
on one Of his regular trips, and on Sept. 5
went to Baltimore, Nd, from Philadelphia,
his invention being manufactured in the
last-named place. Prior to that he wrote
his wife and relatives every few days, but
on reaching Baltimore his letters suddenly
ceased. The house at Philadelphia was
written to, and began a search for the miss
ing man. The matter was put in the hands
mystery is yet unsolved. The officer learned
that Sollenberger was there the early part
of. September, but had paid his hotel bill
and left for the depot. That was the last
seen of him. He is known to have had sew
eral hundred dollars with him, having
made a large collection while there. 1t is
generally thought that the young man was
enticed into a gambling dive, robbed and
murdered and the body thrown into the
bay or otherwise secreted. The three
months silence with no word concerning
him means, TO his friends minds, undoubt-
ed foul play. The wife, who has two small
children, and the aged father are almost
distracted with grief. Mr.. Sollenberger, ST.,
is n pioneer resident of this city, and has
occupied many offices Of honor in the
county.

signed the order at once. He appointed
Edward Austen and the Mercantile Trust

provisions of the insurance law. IL then

anese man-of-war was in the harbor at the
time. Why did not the japanese minister
land his marines to protect his subjects!
quire ii. Why did j. J.. Stevens station his
troops between the palace and the station
house Cthere were no American interests
there to protect)? Because it was q stra-
tegical point where they expected the. first
onset TO be made. There they posted the
marines To receive the shock.
Minister Stevens gave out that when
any responsible body OF men would pro-
claim a provisional government he would
recognize il as the government de facto. A
handful of men proclaimed it. and he rec
ogniZed it when but an hour old. This
youngster was helpless. 1t had no money,
no arms, no defenders for its young me.
Stevens kindly stepped in and offered the
services of the American navy. These two
worthless. Lorin NJ. Thurston and john l..
Stevens, were now in accord In demanding
the keys to the police station and the par
racks, and they could point to the marines
with their Calling guns trained on the
palace and the barracks to back up their
demands. Looking down the mouths or
such formidable engines of destruction Is
not calculated TO excite pleasant emotions.
The Queen yielded. with the only reserve
that she would refer the matter to the gov
eminent of the United States as an arbi-
traitor, expecting, after q presentation or
the facts to the administration, that they
would do her justice"
In answer to the question as to whether
or not he approved of the Queens course,
Mr.. Reeder says:
mo, sir. Her course was revolutionary
and demanded investigation. The remedy
was found in the organic act. she should
have been arrested and tried, and If found
guilty. should have been punished the same
as any other subject, by Imprisonment or
Punishment. In the meantime, her success
sor. Kapolani. who had been named, should
have been placed on the throne under a
regency, and in that event the government
could have been continued and the natives
satisfied. There is no other thing that the
natives need to learn more than respect for
and obedience to law. BY making an TX-
ample of Liliuokalani this lesson could
have been taurht. Whatever Mr.. Cleveland
and his Secretary may or may not do,
they have shown in this affair a desire to
deal Justly with all the parties to the con-
troyersy. And / am sure when our Nation
understands the situation they will heartily
acouiesce in some way that will remedy the
WRONG in which they may have been led by
their diplomatic representative"
