We have no fear of contest with our
Anglo.Saxon brother on State and ma.
tional issues relative to the negro.
Let the Republican party cease con-
tending and assuming thai it freed the
negro, and therefore that it owns him
and has a right to demand his vote. Let
each and every negro do his own think
ing, know the issues, vote for them as
they affect him and his, and cease to be
a political slave. Let it be known that
masters never pay their slaves and that
no civilized nation can ever respect a
race CT political slaves | shall continue
to do the right as God gives me to SEQ
the right, fearless of consequences.
"They never fail who die in a great
cause" and the brave who die for free.
dom, live forever! Let us have political
freedom!

Washington, April 17.-Another mon

The government, through its diplo-
matte representatives, is quietly press
ing upon the attention of the powers
the feasibility of again undertaking
an adjustment of the monetary ques-
ton. and the time is believed ripe for
further efforts in that direction
Minister Romero has already sug-
gested the matter to our government
in way that does not at this moment
require direct response, and the
president is considering it carefully,
for undoubtedly the success of the un-
dertaking viii depend in a large meas
ure upon the support of the United
States.
The adhesion of Great Britain. too.
is of the first importance, and the re-
port that she will limit her representa-
tives to that of India hardly realizes
the hopes Of the projectors. though it
may not defeat the meeting.

Los Angeles, Cal, April ia mys-
ferrous explosion demolished the frame
building of Mrs. Louise Mohn, 455 to 459
South Spring street, early this morning,
and badly damaged Kestners butcher
shop and the Golden Rule produce
store adjoining.
The conclusion was like an immense
cannon shot, which flashed with great
blaze to the sky. For half a block IN
each direction from the wrecked build
ing, the sidewalks were covered with
debris and broken glass, and on the
opposite side Of the street show Win
dows were blown to atoms.
The wrecked building was occupied
by restaurant, cigar store and Bab0-
rowski's she'll and jewelry store, in the
latter of which the explosion probably
occurred. Miss Kate Schooner, proprie-
tress of the restaurant, was sleeping in
a rear room, anil when awakened found
the building nearly blown away, but
her bed and herself were niraculously
unframed.
Baborowsld claims to know nothing
of the origin of the disaster, but is sus-
pected.
Many theories are advanced as to the
cause, some saying can of gasoline
blew up; others thought an engine used
in the shell store, others gas, but tbs
most plausible seams to be dynamite.
1t is believed by many that two bodies
are in the debris. The loss is 81, 1000

London, April 1.-THE bill intro
duced in the commons by Sir George
Trevylan, secretary for Scotland, pro-
viding for the appointment of a COM
nittee of eighty-seven members Of the
house, including the Scotch members,
to consider measures relative to Scot
land, was again up today.
Mr. .Goschen, chancellor Of the ex-
chequer in Lord SalisbIry's last adj
ministration, asked whether a similar
committee would be appointed to con-
slider Irish measures. The bill, he 6e-
clared, was sop to Scotchmen as the
evicted tenants bill was a sop to IRISH
men thrown out to secure their support
of the budget.
Henry Campbell-Bannerman reply
ing, admitted that the bill was an inno-
walton, but said that if it was found
safe for Scotch business, it would be
extended to Ireland. He accused the
conservatives of opposing measures
simply to withhold from the govern
ment the credit of any paragraph bills
He saw no reason why IreLlnd and
Wales should not have similar bills
if they wanted them
Mr.. Balfour introduced an amend
ment declining to sanction the propos-
ition. The amendment was rejected
| by a vote of 252 to 81.
| The house then agreed to the amend
ments to the Bering sea bill made by

people say that for several months they

In September. 1889, Ives was brought
for trial before Recorder Smythe for
over-issuing 5000 shares of Cincinnati.
Hamilton and Dayton stock The
Jurors announced themselves unable to
agree.
1t was believed a new trial would be
ordered. but Ives effected a compro-
mise with his creditors at about cents
on the dollar, and got out IF Ludlow
street Jail on March Is, 1890, after a
We IRIS Incarceration.
He promptly went back to Wall street,
spent money freely and for time kept
the street in state of nervousness by
sending out rumorS that he had
secured control of this or that road
In June, 1891, he was attacked by
hemorrhages and after that, got out of
active business life. He appeared to
have saved plenty of money from his
wreck.
Ives reached Asheville about two
months ago from Florida in an almost
dying condition and has hardly left
his bed since. He lived at a splendid
residence in the suburbs of the city,
where he lived quietly with his wife
and servants. The cause of his death
