Don't Care to Close so Early.

MEUNsTER, Westphalia, Oct. IL.
"A recent order of the authorities
here that all public houses must
be closed at IL p. M, has resulted
in numerous conflicts between citi-
zens and the police. The public
generally refuse to comply with
the order, and since Saturday
there have been nightly rows in
the streets. In a scrimmage last
night a mob got the better of the
police and the authorities had to
order out mounted gendarmes to
clear the streets. The gendarmes
charged on the rioters and finally
succeeded in dispensing them.

NEGRO CONVENTION CALLED,
It's Promoters Declare the Negro Is
Without the Rights of Citi-
zenship,

CHICAGO, Oct. ia call has
been issued by q committee OF
prominent Negroes from many
states in the union for national
conference of colored men to meet
at Detroit, Mich, on the 18th OF
Decem Der, 1895. The call, which
is lengthy one, says in part:
ave had hoped that after the ma
tional convention of colored men
in Washington, in 1875, we would
have no further necessity for col
ored conventions; that the legisla-
ton then before congress would
work out the complete citizenship
OF the Negro and place him in pos
session of the means to protect
himself in the exercise OF his
rights. But here we are today, 30
years from the event Of emancipa-
ton, and millions OF freemen are
practically disfranchised the con-
stitution of the United States has
been set at defiance colored Amer
lean citizens not allowed freedom
of locomotion, nor the freedom OF
decent transportation, municipal
corporations granting license to
private citizens to deny us accom-
modations in hotels, restaurants,
barber shops, places Of amusement,
etc.
The existence of mob and lynch
law in disposing of colored men
and women arrested on suspicion
of committing gross offenses, is
also permitted. These are some OF
the reasons why national con.
vention OF colored men should be
called and a consultation held in
this terrible condition Of the Amer
lean Negro as citizen and a man
in this Stree and enlightened civili.
Zation."

this morning, that President Cieve-

THE wApENA COMES HOME.
Her Owner aud Family Have Had
an Interesting Cruise In Chinese
and Japanese Waters.

NEW YORK, June IL. j. H.
Wade's high speed cruising yacht,
Wadena, which one year ago left
this port for an extensive tour of
distant waters, has returned to
harbor, having been absent just one
year to the hour. Mr.. Wade and
his family did not return with the
yacht, having debarked at Naples.
officers of the Wadena explained
that patriotic motives had prompt
ed the yachting party to so time its
arrival at Naples as to be able to
embark on the new American liner,
st. Louis, and form part OF that
vessels passenger complement on
her first trip to the westward. The
yacht visited such frequented and
unfrequented ports in China and
Japan as the party desired to see.
One of the incidents of the marine
sauntering along Japan's coast was
the picking up of distressed jap
anese bark and towing it to the
nearest port. While in Japanese
waters the Mikado sought to pur-
chase the Wadena, with the inten-
ton Of converting the craft into a
dispatch boat, but Mr.. Wade did
not want to part with the yacht.
A tentative effort on the part Of the
tourists to explore the Yang Use
Kiang river resulted in the boat
being brought to halt by the
Chinese, who suspected her Of be-
ing a Japanese vessel in disguise.
The yacht was released after four
hours detention. After being sat-
lated with Oriental sights the
homeward trip was begun. The
party was landed at Naples the
latter part OF May and Captain Col
lamore received orders to bring the
yacht to this port and have her
fitted out for the coming race. The
vessel reached this port by way OF
Bermuda, and on arrival went to
an anchorage off 26th street, East
river.
