bers of the expedition then drove again
to Portland Head and reported the occur

for the corporal of the guard was echoed
through the night.
The corporal promptly decided that this
midnight war was too much for him to

they arrived at about three

quests that the customers of his market

COLORED CITIZENS CONDITION.
j. II. Lofts Address at the HercuIean
Club Yesterday.

The Herculean Club yesterday afternoon
held the first of a series of meetings at
which topics of public interest are to be
discussed at its clubhouse, on Indiana ave-
nue.. The principal address was delivered by
J. H. Lott on the Conditions of the Col
ored Citizens of This Country" He held
that there is no NEGRO problem in this
country except the problem as how to take
from the colored people their rights without
flying in the face Of the Constitution it
self. He claimed that way had been found
in three States, which has been upheld by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
He said that the solution of the problem
is for the oolored people themselves, no
matter how humiliating, to let the white
People of the South know that henceforth
they will not attempt to vote, and that is
the only solution. The speaker took excep-
tons to the statement by ex-Attorney Cen
eral Baldwin, of Logansport, that the negro
was passive during the war and stated that
over 100000 of them fought during the war.
He referred to the faithfulness of the slave
during the war and to Mr.. Grady's boast
of it, and said that the negro is the most
unselfish and patriotic citizen in America
To the criticism that the negro does not
appreciate the elective franchise, he replied
that it could not be expected of one who
has just emerged from slavery, when the
same criticism will apply as well to SO
many Of the favored race. He referred to
the integrity Of the colored men in Con-
gress at times of national scandals, and
quoted James G. Blaine on the same line.
He blamed the white man as much as the
colored man, if the latter is the dupe of
the former in legislative bodies. He opposed
dividing the colored vote in the South, be-
cause the white people are opposed to the
colored man taking any part in politics.
He referred to the decay of the sentiment
which was formerly an ingredient in poll
tics and said that now politics is as much
a matter of business as the building of a
railroad. The colored man will henceforth
have to depend on his own efforts and the
speaker was confident that he would over
come all obstacles, that he would win re-
spect and that success will come if he is
industrious, saves his money, cultivates his
mind and observes strict integrity in his
dealings with his fellow-men.
Remarks on this subject were made by DIR.
s. A. F'urniss, Gurley Brewer, Joseph
Broyles, Charles Brown, l.. Jefferson, L.
Johnson, Prof. William Lewis, William
Porter and others. Light refreshments were
served. AT the next meeting of the club the
subject for discussion will be THE Rela-
tons of the Negro to Organized Labor"
The officers of the club are James Shelton,
president; William Porter, secretary; Albert
Sims, treasurer

MILK FIRM In PURSUIT.
Harry HamIin, an Old Man, in the
FIRMS Barn.

Early yesterday morning a Roanoke
street neighborhood was awakened by pis-
toll shots fired in rapid succession, and the
people looked out of their windows just in
time to see Harry Hamlin, an old man.
who lives at No. 52S Roanoke street, fleeing
to the north, pursued by the milk firm of
Jessup & Anthrim, who have stable across
from Hamlins home. The old man was
too swift for his pursuers and escaped, but
was arrested later by Patrolmen Ward and
Admire and locked up on the charge of
house breaking.
Jessup & Antrim have been missing
pieces of harness and horse feed from their
stable for several weeks. Yesterday morn
Ing before dawn, they hid in the stable to
watch for the thief. While they lay thus in
ambush a man entered the stable and went
up into the loft. Presently he began to
throw down hay, and after he had pitched
out a small stack he climbed down the
ladder and gathered it up in his arms. The
milk firm could not walt, it was so exciting
and the firm pushed open the door behind
which it was hiding. The hay thief heard
the door turn, dropped his plumber and
dashed up the ladder. He ran across the
loft and jumped out of window on to the
street. The milk firm was armed, and it
started after him, firing as it ran. Neither
did 1t catch him nor hit him with a bullet
and later in the day the patrolmen went
quietly to Hamlin's home and told him they
wanted him.
