ABOUT a month ago 100 colored people
left Forrest City for Savannah, Ga.
where they expected TO embark on a
boat for Africa. says the Forrest City
Times. Advices received in st. Francis
county last week state that the
emigrants reached Savannah without
accident, but that they are still waiting
for the boat that was 10 carry them
across the water. Many of them are
growing impatient and would doubtless
be glad 10 get back to their old homes.
The agent who took them from
Forrest City has probably gotten all or
most Of their money, and it is thought
that no provisions whatever has been
made 90 set them boat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE long
debate in the House on the silver ques-
tion was brought TO close today and
the free coinage bill passed by the
Senate was defeated by vote of 215 to
80. The House then voted to non
concur.
This was the most decisive defeat that
silver has received in the House of Rep
resentatives since the free coinage
question became leading issue in
politics. 1t is admitted by the silver
men that it was deadly blow and that
it will be long time before the silver
advocates can recover from it. 1t is
evident that there were not more than
100 free coinage votes in the House out
of 356 members. Taking into con-
sideration the members paired today
and the absentees, the strength of the
silver cause would not exceed 100 votes
OF the 216 votes cast against the free
coinage bill, 1S5 were cast by Repub
licans and 81 by Democrats. OF the
80 votes cast in favor of free coinage,
SO were cast by Democrats. 81 by
Republicans and I by Populists. 1t is
to be taken into consideration, of
course, that all in authority here were
opposed to the free coinage bill. The
influence of the administration was
against it and so was the influence of
the organization of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Reed personally appealed to the
Republican members to vote against
free coinage and all of the Speaker
lieutenants and managers on the floor
made personal appeals to Western and
Southern Republicans to vote against
the Senate bill. But allowing for the
influence of the administration and the
Speaker ON the other hand. it is clear
that the free coinage cause has received
very stunning blow. This is reluct-
antly admitted by the radical silver
men, yet still they are not discouraged
and hope to win out eventually.
1t is evident from the action of the
House today that Mr.. Cleveland will
not be given an opportunity to veto a
free coinage bill during his tenure in the
White House. The House and Senate
differ as widely upon the question as do
the two schools of finance throughout
the country. Neither, however. gives
any indication of yielding, so it can be
put down as a moral certainty that there
will be no finance legislation during the
present Congress.

cialist and Trade Union Congress- which
begins at st. Martins Hall tomorrow
The demonstration committee has been at
work on the arrangement since March and
had distributed 10000 hand bills and 1000
posters. had employed band to head the
procession and had made elaborate ar
rangements with the commissioner of
works and the police. but what they could
not arrange for was the weather which
proved against them to-day, and the down.
pour of rain practically made a fiasco OF
the demonstration. Professions We're
