London, May 30.-It has always been a
pleasant fiction that in England col
orcd man was fully the equal OF his white
brothers. This received severe set back

of colored officers and men of the various
military and police forces, from all parts
Of the empire. are arriving TO take part
in the jubilee celebration, and in some
cases they have been treated very shah
billy The priyates get along all right with
their white colleagues, principally for the
reason that the former are willing TO treat
the latter to beer and other things, but
the white officers will not associate with
the colored men.
The royal Irish constabulary in Dublin
has refused to mess with the black officers
OF the Cold Coast constabulary, with the
result that the latter are put to much in

The officers OF this organization are as a

fortunate in not having to associate with
them.

The Havana newspapers were forbidden
to print, the news that the Senate had
passed the Morgan resolution until T!i,lrs-
day but the arrival OF the American papers
and private advices TO brokers made IT
known to many, and on Thursday the
Diario de Ia Marina mentioned the fact
quite casually In it's New York corre-

the cafes increased. and the bottom fell out
of Gen. Weyler's paper money.
The newspapers begin to foam at the
mouth now. Ell Comercio makes what is

The Union Constitutional says it agrees

verse of the hymn. She was irremediably
off key and the sensitive ears of more than
one convict drove him to his cell to sup
press his mirth and save him from being

Mr. Chapman's visitors left the Jail lust

into possession of so much money, and the

she was turned over to detective Hartigan.

the officer where She procured the purse,
and then finally Consented to accompany
him to the place where she admitted hav

it was found to be a vacant lot. Then she

uptown elevated station at CouTtland and

tickets very easily shortly after O'Clock

people, who We're clarporing for tickets.
In his hurry to get away he forgot TO take
the bulk oc the money, amounting to $685..
which he had removed from the cash
drawer and laid ready on the shelf. The
robbery was not discovered for nearly an
hour.
The robber, evidently well acquainted
with the rules of the company, presented
note TO Ticket Agent Peterson, telling
the latter that he was relieved and that the
stranger would take his place. The note
was signed by Inspector Hazard. Peter
son, suspecting nothing, turned the office
over to the stranger, who soon aftefward
disappeared ostensibly 20 get change. He
sold large number of tickets to passengers
before he left.
