LIBERIA NO PLACE TO LIVE.
THIRTEEN OF THE EMIGRANTs OF
1896 RETURN HOME.

Many of the 200 who Left Savannah
in the March Expedition of That
Year Now Dead From Fever aud
StarvatiOn--Many Others Unable
to Return Home For Lack of Nom
ey-EmigratIOn Society Accused ~
Violating Its Promises.
New York, June 21.-Thirteen colored
persons, who formed part of the 200 sent to
Liberia by the International Emigration
Society in March, 1885, arrived in this port
to-day aboard the steamship Liberia. They
say that the scheme was a total failure;
that many of their number died of starva-
ton and fevers: that the society did not
fulfll the contract and many members of
the expedition are stranded In England
unable to get back to their homes
The plan of the African colonization
scheme originated early in 1894 in the
mind of Bishop Turner, who was travel
ing in the south. 1t was formulated and
carried into effect by Jeremie MILAN, a
white man of Birmingham, Ala, who
founded what was known as the Interna-
tional Emigration Society.
1t was claimed that the president of Lii
IBERIA had promised the colonists land and
farming implements. The advance guard
in charge of d. L, Johnson, an intelligent
colored man of Hot Springs, Ark, In No
vember, 1894, started for Liberia. With
him was committee to make arrange
ments for the colonists. II was estimated
at that time that there were 1900 colored
persons who were ready to join the colony
They expected to build town which
would soon be in hourishIng condition
Each colonist was to pay SAL for his trans
portation and was expected to have 500
in gold with him to lay the foundation of
his fortune In the new land.
The first large party of colonists, num-
berng 200. left Savannah, Ga, in March,
1895, for their new home, and after that
several smaller parties Joined them. Twen-
ty-fiVe acres of land for each adult and
ten acres for each child was promised
and every person was to be provided with
a barrel of flour, two barrels of meat, a
quantity of sugar and a complete set of
farming implements.
ID. X. Flammer, president of the society
accompanied the emigrants. According to
the stories told by those who have return
ed to-day, when they landed in Liberia
Flammer deserted them, taking whatever
was provided for them except the land
which they found thirty-hve miles from
any town, and which was incapable of
growing anything but coffee. Even the
successful growth Of coffee would take
four to six years.
Charles Peterson of Madison, Ark, with
his wife and family, is among those who
returned to-day lie says that he lost all
he had In going over and were nearly
dead of starvation before he could raise
enough money to return.
Charles Moore whose family lives in
Mississippi said the emigrants could get
nothing to do. The natives, who wear no
clothes and live on little or nothing, did
all the work for starvation wages.
The thirteen persons had no idea where
they were to pass tonight

NEW Y0RK'S LEAKY DRY DOCK.
THE HOUSE VOTES 100000 To
HAVE 1T REPAIRED.

MIR. Cummings of New York Attrib-
gtes the Trouble 20 the Fact That
the Dock Is Built of wood Instead
of stone-Air. snyres Attributes Ii
TO Powerful Dredging Machinery
or to the PrOws OF VesseIs-ATr.
Stone objects to Consideration of
the south Carolina Liquor Bill.
Washington, June 2l.-After the approv-
al of the Journal in the House to-day
special order was adopted providing for
the consideration of bill appropriatins
100000 for the repair of dry dock No.
at the New York navy yard.
Mr.. Boutelle, rep, Of Maine, explained
the necessity for the appropriation, saying
that leaks had appeared which threaten
the collapse OF the dock. Immediate meas
ures TO repair the damage he said were
necessary. He read a letter from tho
Secretary of the Navy in support Of that
statement. The water flowing from dock
No. Q into dock No. threatened 1t also.
In answer to an inquiry by Mr. Sayres.
dem. of Texas, Mr.. Henderson said that
dock No. 8 had been completed within tho
last year. The injury probably had been
done by powerful dredging machinery or
by the prows Of vessels. The accident.
he said. should not be made the basis for
adverse criticism of the construction OF
the dock.
Mr. Simpson, pop, of Kansas. suggested
that the matter had not been considered
by the committee on naval affairs.
Mr.. Cummings, dem, of New York,
said this dock was the only dock on the
Atlantic coast where large battleship
could be repaired. He thought the trou-
BILE had its origin in the fact that 1t was
built Of timber instead Of stone.
MIR. Cannon, rep, of Illinois. believed
that some one was in fault, either the con-
tractor or the supervising officers. The
responsibility for the leak should be fixed
The resolution was adopted by a vots
of ia to r.
Mr.. Latimer. dem, OF South Carolina,
asked unanimous consent 10 have consid-
cred a bill declaring a state capable Of
entirely controlling the liquor traffic.
This w. A. Stone, rep. Of Penusylva mia,
said was an outgrowth of a local tight in
South Carolina. in which the courts had
made a decision, and was not a proper
matter for consideration by the House. He
objected to its consideration.
Mr.. Dingley from the committee on
ways and means. presented a favorable
report on Joint resolution providing that
foreign exhibitors at the Omaha exposi-
ton In 1898 may bring TO this country la
borers TO prepare and have charge OF ex-
hibits. Two amendments provided that the
Secretary Of the Treasury shall fix the
number Of laborers 20 enter the country
and that they shall leave the United
States within three months from the ter
mlnation OF the exposition.
on motion of Mr.. Dingley the House
then, at 1;05 o'clock. adjourned until
Thursday.

TOBACCO TRUSTS TRADE RULES.
Peter HauptmRn of st. Louis Again
on the witness Stand.

New York, June 21.-Peter Hauptman Of
st. Louis was again on the witness stand
to-day In the trial Of the indicted Ameri-
can Tobacco Company on the charge OF
conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Questions by the district attorney were
directed to eliciting statements that the
witness had been coeroed by the tobacco
company Lawyer Choate objected, and
stated that the defendants had not been
charged with coercion in the indictment.
1T is not constitutional" he declared,
ito try man on a charge unless they
have him indicted for It," The objection
was sustained by the court
Mr.. Olcott asked the witness whether
1t was or was not possible for him to do
as profitable business without being able
to handle the cigars made by the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. The witness said
it was not, If he could not buy directly
from the manufacturers.
ON croSS-eXamination the witness said
he had been here from st. Louis since
last Monday at the request of Mr.. Olcott,
who guaranteed him his expenses. He
further testified that he could not make
as much profit on the American Tobacco
Companys goods if he bought them sec
ond-hand as he could If he purchased di-
rect from the American Tobacco Company.
He knew that the National Tobacco Conn
pany guaranteed a certain amount Of
money to cover any loss on account Of
any differences between the firm and the
American company.
The witness did not know very much
about the agreement between his firm and
the National Tobacco Company. His
partner, Mr.. Harms, knew all about II,
but he was in st. Louis. He could not
tell how long his firm had been receiving
payments from the National Tobacco
Company He supposed he did testify in
December, 1894. that IL was till continu.
ing. He could not tell how long after
this the payments continued. Neither he
nor his firm. either directly or indirectly,
contributed to suit or suits against the
American Tobacco Company The con-
tract of the American Tobacco Company
had been a satisfactory one to the witt
ness The company fully lived up to its
agreement until October, 1888 Just be-
fore that time he was visited by several
representatives of the National Tobacco
Company
Mr.. Choate sought to have the witness
testify that his firm never had any in
tention of changing the American Tobacco
contract until the visit of these represen-
tatives, but the questions were not allow
ed. The witness said he and his partner
had conversations on the subject of hand
ling National Tobacco Company cigarettes
previous to his interview with the repre-
sentatives of that company. The nature
of these conversations was not allowed
to be brought out. He did not have the
agreement of the National Tobacco Com
pany with him.
Theodore Allen was the next witness.
but so many objections were made by
both sides that nothing important was
brought out.
Daniel Dressler, q Brooklyn tobacco
manufacturer; Frederick B. Hyer and
Henry l. Stockwen were the other wit
nesses to-day.

Mr.. Debs said that in setting up the CO.
