THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Bishop Turner Wants Congress Petlti0ned
to Make IN Appropriation to Send
100000 Negroes to Africa.

Macon, Ca, Nov. 1S.-In an address
before the Georgia conference Of the
African Methodist church Bishop H. M.
Turner yesterday urged every opposi.
tion to the Hardwick bill now pending
before the general assembly Of this
state to limit the suffrage Of the ne
groes in this state. The bishop said he
proposed to take the stump in Georgia
against it and implored every colored
minister to do likewise. He said the
law would reduce every negro to the
ignoble status of free slave and their
condition would be worse than before
the war He denounced the supreme
court Of the United States for taking
away the negro's civilrights, but ex.
cepted Justice Harlan, who was the ne.
gro's friend. He urged that every min.
lister assist in getting signatures to the
petition to congress for an appropria.
tion of $l25, 900, 900 to be used in send.
ing 1000, 900 Of the race to Africa. so

Manila, Nov 2O.-The following dis
patches have been received here from
correspondents of the Associated press
accompanying the American advance
northward.
Gen. Macarthur entered Corona Sat
urday afternoon. The insurgents had
fled after burning the depot. Nothing
else was destroyed by them. Corona
is the first town along the Manila Da.
gupan railway, where the natives did
not run at the approach Of the Ameri-
cans The padres offered quarters in
the church and convent. The town
has one good house, Corona Is the
seat of heavy English sugar interests.
The trip here was a hard one and occu-
pied six hours in covering ~ miles,
most OF the time was spent IN fording
a quarter of mile food running out
of the Rio Tarlac. We have no wagons
and pack mules and native bearers
carry all our supplies.
The natives here say that Bayom mbong
was occupied last Sunday by mounted
troops, probably Gen. Young's brigade
OF Gen. Lawton's division. The people
here are Of better class than we have
usually found and welcomed the
Americans as they evidently realize
that their agricultural interests will
revive.
Gen. Macarthur said yesterday after
noon' I'VE seem to be entering a dif-
ferent political atmosphere. The peo.
Pile here seem TO be less attached TO
Aguinaldo's cause than those in many
towns we have been in on the railroad
line" Corona will be garrisoned with
two companies Of the Thirty-sixth.
Immediately on entering Corona
Slavens' scouts moved up the track to-
ward Panique. On the way they en-
countered an intrenched party Of
insurgents whom they drove back,
then entering the town and capturing
four locomotives and IS cars, as already
cabled. They learned that 500 insur-
gents had left the town in the course
Of the afternoon.
ten. Macarthur Is within five miles
OF Dagupan, which place Gen. whea-
ton or Gen. Lawton will probably
occupy. Capt Leonhaeuser accom-
plished one Of the best coups Of the
war. Reaching 0'Donnell by q night
march from Capas on November IS he
surprised the insurgent force number
ing 200 and captured all Of them, with
their arms, 10000 rounds Of ammuni-
tion and four tons Of subsistence.
