Pass I: solutions Upon the Recent
 Raes Troubles at Wilmington.
 Indianapolis. Nov. 1.-The audito. rum of the Bethel Afrieo Methodist Episcopal church was crowded to the doors with colored people Tue day night drawn together to express their indigna. tion at the slaughter of negroes at Vii. mington N O., and Mississippi, and td take such action as might be deemed practicable and advisable. Througheus tho meeting the deepest interest waa manifest 4 committee of five was ap. pointed to draft suitable resolutions and reported 8 series i'll which disgust was expressed at the outrages perpetrated upon colored people in the south; that il was time to ask for thn f@dina of some remedy to correct such abuses, and that the president be asked to ea1l the atten. tion of congress to the widely increas. ing evil in order that some action be taken by congress to prevent a recur. renee of the outrage in the future.
 It was urged that copy of the raso- lution be forwarded to the Indiana sen. ators, and representatives in congress, to the newly installed mayor of Whining ton, N. O., and to the governor of that state and also copy be sent to Govern or Tanner, of Illinois, through whose neglect of right and justice negro miners were shot down by the Illinois state mi litia at Virden.'
 A resolution was also introduced ami adopted providing for the selection of five colored citizens by the chairman who shall constitute standing commit- tee bearing on the colored people of thu country much the same relation as was borne by the Cuban iunta to the Cuban patriots.

DRUNKEN SOLDIERS
 COMMIT MURDER.
Negroe Immnnes Fire Into the House of Cuban Killing Four persols
 and wounding Several.

Santiago, Nov. f7-an incident, oc- cured Monday night at San Luis, about % north of Santiago, which caused great deal of il feeling among the Gu bans and considerable annoyance among the military officials here All the col ored regiments are encamped iii the neighborhood of San Luis. They were sent there virtually to get them out of the way because of the difficulty experi- enced in managing them. The colored officers seem to have little or no control over their men and etfiet r and Brivates are often seen drinking together with arms around each others necks and be- having in other ways not calculated to spire respect for the American troops among the Cubans.
 It was not expected that the co1ored soldiers could do much harm ill the San Luis district, which was chosen on that principle The trouble began by an at- tempt to arrest two soldiers for abusing Cuban workman and stealing his hog. The outrage was committed on the No mas sugar plantation Lieutenant Jos Ferrer, chief of General Wood gendar. merle i'll that district, Spaniard, but 8 Cuban sympathizer, and a man whom General Wood knew to be able and courteous, attempted to make the ar rests
 The soldiers. who telonged to tho Ninth immunes, escaped. Soon after this go negroes, wearing the uniform ot the United States army attacked tho house where Lieutenant Ferrer was and kept up a regular fulsillade, killing Lien. tenant Ferrer, Antonio Ro nan, and old man, Emilo Berrier ald q baby and Wounding several others. Two soldiers were killed ill the atfray.
 The colored officers denied that their men were implicated ill the affair, i'll spite of all the evidence to the contrary.
 After an unsatisfactory attempt to get at the facts ill the case over the wires, General Wood went and investigated for himself and is satisfied the men of the Ninth regiment of immunes are re- sponsible for the affair."

Brought a Fancy Price.

New York, Nov. TIA seat on the New York stock exchange was sold Mon day at 5000, the highest price in 1t years The record price for seats is $34, 800, made in 1881, and as there is q decided demand for seats, and there have been few deaths, it is predicted in Wall street that this price may again be reached. The seats that have been sold in late years have been largely bought by young men, many of them rich mems sons starting in business.
