Los ANGELos, CAL, July 6.-The
government Of the Free State of
Congo, Central Africa, through it's
secretary CT state at Brussels, is in
correspondence with A. G. Carter,
Of Riverside, relative to a plan for
settling several colonies of Negro
farmers from the United States In
some Of the favored districts of the
Congo territory. AS expressed in
letter received today by Mr.. Car
ter, the idea Of the authorities of
the Free State Is to procure men
whose ancestors having come from
Africa will be better fitted than
white men to cope with the eli
mate.
At the same time none but de.
sirable colonists are invited. Mr..
Carter will not give out yet what
the terms are that the secretary OF
state holds out to the immigrants,
except that they are favorable.
Carter has been invited to visit
that official at Brussels to discuss
the matter and will probably soon
make the trip.
II the first colonies succeed 1t
Is the idea to induce a large imi-
grafton OF Negroes from the United
States to the Congo state, where
the principles Of free government
are to be practiced.
The letter Mr.. Carter has re-
ceived states that tobacco culture
Is to be made an important in
dustry in the Free State aud the
first attention will be paid to
Negro immigrants who have
learned this culture in the south
ers states.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The Herald
says: because of his belief in
spiritualism, and through the i'm
positions of a professional medium,
Yost, the inventor of the type
writer, is living apart from his
his family, in a furnished fiat on
West Forty.fifth street, unattended
by a friend and provided with none
of the ordinary luxuries of life,
which are necessary to man sew
enty years old.
she has expended time and thou
sands of dollars In pursuing the
signis fatuus' which spiritualists
have danced before his eyes. He
acknowledges that he is poor and a
physical wreck. Yet, he still be-
lieves In the men who imposed up
on him, and declares that he Ia as
certain about the things he be-
lieves he has seen as he Is that
there is heaven. He is a man OF
fine intellect, q man who has
family which is devoted to him,
yet he is almost deserted, and Is
scarcely able to talk, much less to
continue his once brilliant career.
The man who is the prime mover
in the conspiracy is q medium who
is summering at Onst Bay, Mass"
The Herald gives the following
account of the way in which Mr..
Yost became interested in spirit
movements:
"When visiting the Worlds fair
in Chicago, some acquaintance
told Mr.. Yost that they knew
young girl named Lizzie Bangs,
who was able to secure the most
remarkable statements from dead
WORTHLESS by means of an ancient
and very decrepit typewriting ma.
chine. Mr.. Yost visited the medium
and found that pieces of paper
were apparently run from the
cylinder of the machine, signed
with all the names of history from
Moses to Garfield. He was intensely
interested, because it was an actual
exemplification of his own idea of
what spirits could do with type
writer in case they felt so inclined.
Miss Bangs lived on Elizabeth
street, Chicago, and Mr.. Yost visit
ed her several times, and present.
ed her with new typewriter,
which did infinitely better work
than the old. But Miss Bangs was
an Independent medium, and 1t
has never been intimated that she
was responsible for Mr.. Yost's mis-
fortunes. He was however, con-
WINGED that typewriting could be
done in this way, and he made up
his mind that in order to have
communication with the departed,
he must have a medium of his
own. He accordingly surrounded
himself with galaxy OF young
men, who were represented as ex-
cellent mediums. From spiritualis-
tic typewriting to spIritualistic
portrait painting was an easy
transition. Mr.. Yost became in.
terested in this branch of occult
wonders as much as Luther R.
Marsh, the prominent New York
attorney, became interested in the
spiritualism practiced by Ann
O'Della Disbar. He spent thou
sands OF dollars upon the mediums,
and quarrelled with friends who
protested. Mrs. Beach, OF this city,
widow of the founder Of the Scien-
tific American; Vile G. Smith,
protector of the Arcade railway, Of
this city, and Robert Anderson, a
wealthy mine owner of Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, are among the persons
who have purchased pictures from
