FOREIGN PARTS.
The TransVaal and New
Zealand.
Timing Riches of the One and Com
mercial Prosperity of the
Other Colony.

NJ. j. Courteney of Auckland. New
Zealand, is at the Palace for few days.
Mr.. Courteney is an old miner in the
African fields, having gone To that coun-
try in 1859, and spent some years there
with good success. In speaking OF the
gold discoveries there be becomes quite
enthusiastic and predicts bright future
for that country. The section where
nearly all of the new developments in this
respect have been made is in the Transvaal
and of which Johannesburg Is the prin-
cipal point of supply. A range of hills,
called the Rand, extending over 600 or 700
miles, contains the precious metal in rich
and vast quantities.
Africa, Mr.. COurteney says. is giving bet
ter returns in the mining districts for the
money invested than any other country
OF the face of the globe. The Beers con-
troll the trade interests there and are not
at all disposed to resent the coming of
foreigners. In fact. Mr.. Courteney says,
many Americans are going into that Sec
ton in search of new gold fields. The
country, however, he says, is no place for
laboring man. The average pay of
Kaffir is only about S4 week. and white
labor stands 10 show In competition with
him.
Railroad work is progressing in the in
terror as rapidly as circumstances will
permit. The great trouble encountered is
with the hostile natives and the lack of
water.
New Zealand. according to Mr.. Courte-
ney, is destined to be the greatest among
the British possessions The production
of the country last year added about S55,-
000, 900 to the wealth of the inha bitants.
Richard ]. Seddon. the Premier, is a self
made man, who has apparently solved the
problem of 'the unemployed" which is
causing so much discussion In this coun-
try. In New Zealand these men are given
work on the cooperation plan and sent to
the country in gangs to develop the land,
etc. Each man Is paid according to the
work which he accomplishes, and a tramp
or a vagrant has become almost an un-
known quantity as a consequence.

THE COLOR LINE.
Future of the Negro Race
in the South.
REPRESENTATIVE MURRAY.
A Man Who Was Born a Slave
Is Now a Member of
Congress.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-The only col
ored man in Congress comes from South
Carolina. His name is George Washing
ton Murray and he represents $4,000 peo-
pie. His district is the famous black dis
trict. which was represented by General
Robert Smalls, and it is the biggest negro
district OF the Union. 1t is 200 miles long,
and it winds in and out like snake,
scalloping the Atlantic coast and cutting
the State of South Carolina like a saw. 1t
is the district set aside by the whites of
that State for colored representation. 1t
contains few towns and only one fifth of
its population is white.
There is no question about George W.
Murray's ancestry. Every feature of his
cannon-ball head is modelled on African
lines. His complexion is that of the ace
of spades and his features are of the pro-
nounced negro type. He is by no means a
bad-lonking colored man. He stands about
feet s inches in his stockings and is
broad-shouldered and strong-limbed. He
has shown himself to be man of nerve
and politician of shrewdpess. He talks
well, but butchers the Kings English in
many of his sentences. He has had to
fight for all that he has, and his education
has been acquired in almost as remark
able way as was that OF Fred Douglass.

intend to make is along business and edu-
catlonal lines. We propose to educate our
selves and to save our money and when we
become the equals of the whites In prop
erty aud in business you will see that we
have better recognition"
DO you think that the negro Is The equal
OF the white in natural ability ?"
Il do" replied the African Congress-
man. History has shown that the sons
of Ham are as strong as the sons of Shem
and Japhet in every way. 1t was once
thought that the negro could not advance
in learning beyond certain point. but the
colleges know that the negro is the equal
Of the white and in many cases superior.
/ think that we will gradually equal and
eventually distance the whites. The rea-
son for this Is that we have to start from
the bottom. We have nothing and we
must fight for every inch. We are very
ambitious and we will not stop until we
get to the top"
'Wnat will be the future of the two
races? Will the negro ever ante with the
whites ?"
II believe" said Mr.. Murray, 'that

How about the property rights In the
South? Are those OF the colored people
respected?"
"Yes, think So" was the reply. 1.-THE
Southerners are anxious that the negroes
should own property, and they encourage
them to save and invest their money
They treat them fairly so far as any of
these things are concerned, but they DO
not give them a fair show in any political
way. The ballot must be so many inches
long and so many inches wide. II the

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mf. G. Won Men9ersen Succumbs
TO an Internal Complaint.

The steamer Waialeale arrived
yesterday morning from Hamakua
with the remains of the late c. Won
Mengersen, late manager of the
Kukuihaele plantation, Hamakua,
Hawaii. Mr.. Mengersen had been
i'll with an internal complaint for
some time, but his sudden death,
which occurred last Sunday at Ku-
kuihaele, was a great surprise to
his friends in this city. Captain
i. Ahlborn, a personal friend of the
deceased, and also Mrs. Mengersen,
brought down the remains Of the
late Mr.. Mengersen. After being
embalmed by undertaken Williams,
the remains will be forwarded to
Germany by the S. s. Warrimoo,
to Sydney, and from there tran
shipped by one Of the German lin
ers running between that port and
Bremen. Mrs. Mengersen will leave
for home by the S. S. Australia next
Wednesday.
