arrangements for giving their candi-
dates, Palmer and Buckner, a fitting
reception on the occasion of their visit
to Minneapolis next Saturday. The
meeting was called to order by Judge
Neland, who after a few words intro
.duced the speaker of the evening.
y In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Cutcheon told of the convention of the
National Democrats at Indianapolis and
of his recent tour through Kentucky.
He said that without doubt that state.
as well as Indiana, would cast their
electoral votes for Mckinley, and this
would be accomplished only by the eff
forts of the National Democrats. who
were working hard for their own can

The speaker used some very strong lam

Mr., Bryan had "either innocently or
willingly made himself the tool of an

special emphasis of the fact that ali

COLONIAL REVELATIONS COMING.
Expected to Clear the Air of Scan,
dal In Germany.

BERLIN, Oct. 20-Baron Won Wiss-
man resigns the governorship of East
Africa on account of i'll health and will
probably be provided with a post AFT
home. At the autumn session of the
colonial council today DR.. Kayser, chief
of the German colonial department, de-
livered his farewell address, in the
course Of which he reviewed the Ger
man colonial history since he has held
the office. He denied the rurnor that he
had resigned on account of the attacks
OF the Peters party, but, he said, it was
an open question whether the colonial
policy would ever bring advantage or
blessing to Germany. DR.. Kayser then
described the prosecutions he had en-
dured at the hands of the Peters fac
ton. DR.. Peters was ineensed at being
passed over in favor of Baron Won
Wissman for the governorship of East
Africa, he said adding, Herr Arendt
visited me on the eve Of Baron Won
Wissman's appointment and made q
yelled threat Of persecution unless DR.
Carl Peters was appointed" DR.. Kays-
er predicted that revelations would be
soon made which would clear the at
mosphere of scandal and intrigue in
colonial affairs. He hoped that even
tually the colonies would be self-sup-
porting and would justify the dreams
of the colonial enthusiasm
There are runors of another change
in the colonial administration involving
an increase of 5,000,0 600 marks in the i'm

NEGRO RACE PROsPERs.
Bishop Arnett Gives Some interest
Ing Figures.

AS mentioned yesterday, Bishop B.
W. Arnett, Of Wilberforce O., is in
the city and preached here on Sunday.
The bishop is the guest of Mrs. Cole
man, 1872 Franklin avenue. Mrs Cole
man is the author Of a book entitled
Poor Ben" which gives a biography
Of the bishop. The bishop is an elderly
colored gentleman, highly educated, and
readily consented to talk yesterday af-
ternoon. As bishop of the African NJ
3. church, he has charge of the work
in Indiana, Illinois, Mfchigan, WILSON,
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas
He was appointed to this field last May
and this is his first episcopal visit to
Minnesota. He will be in the city until
Thursday, when he intends to return
to Chicago, and will be at home in time
to cast his ballot.
The reverend gentleman is very much
pleased with the condition of the
churches in this section of the country.
He says that the colored people are
holding their own in spite Of the hard
times which fall with greater force
upon the negro than the white man
The outlook for the future is very
bright. The bishop is especially pleased
with one thing, and that is that the
coiored people are as a rule settling
down and procuring homes for them
selves, which makes them permanent
citizens. The colored people of the
Twin Cities, he characterized as pro-
gressive and the three churches and
mission in these two cities are doing
good work.
The bishop gave the reporter some IN
teresting statistics regarding the negro.

ally. AS shown by the census of 1890.
there were 7,470,040 negroes, or persons
with negro blood in the United States.
This was an increase of 3,451, 651 in 80
years. From 1860 to 1870, the per cent
of Increase was 80; for the next decade.
34.8; and in 1890 the increase was 1879.
The distinctive negro religious or
CARNATIONS number 1885, divided
among IL denominations. They have
20,0O7 church edif1ces; a membership of
2,591,228. These organizations are con
trolled and supported wholly by the
negro himself, and are legitimate re-
suits of his own labor since freedom.
There are 10 denominations, which are
composed Of colored people, but con-
trolled by white people The total num-
Der of members and adherents Of these
organizations is 1855 The negro
Methodist churches are the strongest.
This denomination has established fifty
two educational institutions In a
printed address prepared by Bishop
Arnett for the International Sunday
school convention on "Colored Sunday
Schools" he presents statistics show
ing what is being done to educate the
colored race.
Bishop Arnett was rendered an elab-
crate reception by the members of ST.
Peters A. NJ. E. church last evening.
The gathering was held at the old
court house. Acting Mayor Fred Sny-
der welcomed the bishop to the city.
and gave a well chosen address. In
reply to the greeting, Bishop Arnett
made an enthusiastic and entertaining
address. The speaking was followed
by a we'll spread banquet in which all
partook, and the evening passed away
pleasantly

disastrous conf1agration, the result
OF Sunday outing, has marred the
beauty of West Point, Lake Mime
tonka, and reduced four handsome
summer cottages to ashes. The point
lies off the Lake Park shore, and is in
view of the scene of the Fourth of July
fire last year, when the Rosser place
was burned to the ground. The fire
occurred on West Point yesterday
morning, starting in the John F. Will
COX house, and quickly spreading to
the adjoining cottages. There were
only three or four persons on the point
at the time. No help could be obtained,
and the spectators were powerless.
They could watch the buildings go up
in fire and smoke until not a vestige
remained. The houses burned were
those Of John F. Wilcox, A q. Lever
ing, S. w. lowering and Mrs. Ada
Whitney. The E. B. West cottage was
scorched, also one of the West steam
launches lying on shore, but the dam
age to the West property was slight,
while there was almost total loss on
the others. Mrs. Whitney's house was
only partially burned, and her loss is
figured at $500. Loss to the others is:
JOhn r. wilcox, $1,000; A. Il. lowering,
$4,000; S. w. lowering, $1,000. The or
igin Of the accident was a fire in the
Wilcox fireplace, kindled by pleasure
party of young people out from town
for over Sunday. The night being cold
generous fire was kindled on the
hearth, and when the party left the
cottage yesterday morning and locked
the house door there were a few warm
Goals in the fireplace, though nothing
to occasion any apprehension to those
who left them there. Starting on the
hearth the fire spread to the adjoin-
ing rooms, and in the course of few
hours the cottage was in flames. The
blaze was quickly communicated to the
neighboring houses, and one after an
other the four cottages fell. OF the en-
tire furnishings of the four houses not
more than a few scattered pieces were
rescued

To Gladstone's Mind His Triumph

LONDON, Oct. 19.-St. James hall was
packed with an audience of 1000 peo-
pie tonight large proportion of whom
were women, to take part in the demon
stration of protest against the Arnen-
ian massacres. Nearly 1000 people ap-
piled for admission. The Bishop of
Rochester presided instead Of the Duke
or Westminster, who wrote regretting
that ill-health compelled him to be alb
sent. The Earl Of Portsmouth, the Earl
of Meath, Baron Abinger, the Earl Of
stamford, the Bishops Of Winchester
Hereford and Aberdeen, and many
other notables, were on the platform
Intense enthusiasm was manifested es-
pecially over the reading Of letter
frem Mr.. Gladstone. In this letter Mr.
Gladstone expressed the. hope that the
meeting would worthily crown the Ar

months. which, he said, were without
parallel during his political life.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The following Of

There is, happily, better feeling

OF this kind help governments to an
amicable conclusion which would other
wise be impracticable
Regarding the allegation that Sir
Julian Pauncefote has returned to

the dispute, the patent fact is that he
has long had such mission, and has
returned to Washington with certain
instructions, and negotiations will be
reopened Immediately on his arrival
But 1t is too early to say whether or
not the proposals of the British gov
eminent are likely to be accepted.

the sentiment Of the ministers is al
