NORTHwARD MOVEMENT OF The
NEGRO.

The continued discussion In many pub
lie prints OF colored Bishop Turner's plan
for the trausplanting. almost at once. OF
the negroes OF the South back to Africa.
through an immense appropriation by the
Federal government, Is but one phase Of
the ever present discussion OF the negro
problem in the United States.
The plan OF Bishop Turner is utterly
impracticablc and there Is not the least
probability OF its ever being tried. To
pick up 100000 people on one continent
and set them down for permanent resi-
dence on another continent. thousands OF
miles away, Is a "Utopian" dream. But 1t
is pointed out by the New Orleans Plea
yune that this yexed problem" may set
tie itself soon in manner not now sus-
pected. except by few who have been
studying statistics furnished by recent
censuses.
The discovery Is that the negro Is con-
stantly distributing himself. more ana

tions OF the United States and gradually
Tightening the burden on the South. The

DORTMUND-EMS CANAL.
Emperor William Says the Great
Canal viii Be Built.

| Emperor says thS 0AS's
Canal Will Be Built.
Berlin. August 11.-Emperor William
today attended the opening of the bort
mund Ems canal. Replying to an address
OF the burgomaster. his majesty said he
regarded the canal as a work to form
part of a greater whole, which he, himself
and the government had infexibly de-
termined to further, and he hoped the
nations representatives would place him
( in the position to do SO before the end
| of the year.
| 1t was the unalterable resolve of both
the government and himself the kaiser
eaid, to carry out the proposed great
central canal as tn construction of great
waterways was absolutely necessary and
would be blessing to both industry and
agriculture.
The rIsght of a strong and united en-
pire, obeying one WILL shall be exercised
for this work with all its power" cloud
cheers)
Speaking subsequently in the town hall,
Emperor William expressed the hope that
the day might prove a landmark, Eek
employing progress and the recognition
on the part of all German subjects of the
fact that there are times when it is neces-
sary to subordinate personal aspirations
to the welfare of the State.
ION my Instructions continued the
emperor, this great project has been
undertaken to regulate the current and
depths of odor, in order to unite the
Northern provinces and part of Silescia
with the sea. Other great works of water
communications in the Eastern provinces
are in contemplation. The progress of
state can only be rendered possible by
and placing on an equal
footing the interests of industry and agri-
culture
His majesty's speeches may be said to
have cleared the air. for they have fur
nished pendant to and solution of the
Bielfeld speech, wherefore the
emperor's allusion to his "infexible will''
provoked SO much speculation and COM
ment.

REVOLUTION SPREADING.
the Name of Gomez Gives Popularity

The Name of Gomez Gives Popularft,
to the Movement.
Kingston, Jamaica, August IA mail
dispatch from Santo Domingo dated Au-
gust 3, via Hayti, confirms the cable intel
ligence telling of the spread and signifi-
canoe of the revolution throughout the
Dominican republic. Prominent men in
clvil and military circles. it appears, are
taking the field with the understanding
that Jiminez Is the prime mover and that
he Will shortly arrive there from Cuba
with munitions of war Among his mill
tary adherents, bringing armed followings,
including regular soldiers, were the we'll
known generals, Ramon Pacheco and Pablo
Reyes, wao are advancing westward by
forced marches for the purpose of cutting
off Monte Cristi from reinforcemonts and
to form junction with the insurgent
FORCES from Hayti, thus opening way for
the Jiminez expedition.
Undoubtedly the popularity of the reyo-
luton is due to use of the name of Gomez
and should he decline the presidency or
Jlminez iinally oppose his election, prom
lnent leaders are already considering the
alternative OF calling a plebiscite in order
to ascertain whether the country would not
prefer to renew the vote of 1871 for Amer
lean annexation or an American protecto-
rate rather than elect another dictator.

AN UNSATISFACTORY RUN.
But the Columbia Left the Defender
Way in the Rear

The run of the New York Yacht Club
fleet from Vineyard Haven to New Bed
ford. Mass, yesterday proved the most I'M
satisfactory of the cruise, and as far as the
racing was concerned was we'll nigh a
fizzle. The winds were from all quarters
and at all velocities, interspersed with
Gains, rain, sunshine and fog, and it was
the boat that carried mascot who won
in her class. Columbia was one of these.
and for the second time in the cruise she
beat Defender by many miles because of
the shifting breeZes and Gains; in fact so
far ahead was the new boat at the finish
that Defender gave 1t up entirely and did
not round one of the marks the VINEYARD
sound lightship. At noon 1t looked as If
Defender might win, for she got a fine
shift of wind and left Columbia becalmed
two miles astern. But this seemingly for
tunate shift proved Defenders undoing the
breeze leaving her entirely when off Tar
paulin cove. five miles from the start and
she lay there two hours, while her rival
farther out in the sound, picked up nice
southeast breeze and made the gain that
enectually put Defender out of the race
Columbia crossed the finish line about 5
o clock, with Defender off Cuttyhunk light
at the entrance to Buzzards bay Defend
er had started ahead and 1t was half an
hour before Columbia caught up and passed
her to port
The other yachts of the feet sailed q
much shorter course than the two flyers
running in through Quicks Hole, half way
down to Cuttyhunk. and finishing at the
flagship, anchored off Wilkes Lodge. in the
middle OF BuZzard's bay, five or six miles
outside OF New Bedford. Navahoe was the
first of the big ones over the line, VigiIant
being three minutes after. The two old
timers had fine race up the sound. at one
time Navahoe outsailing her rival AT last
Vigilant crossed the line in her usual nosiN
ton at the head of the fleet while Coionia
