This spectacle is the great fall

Two thousand million miles of
meteors will then flash past the
earth.
The meteorites will touch the
atmosphere of the earth and be-

their fight. Countless millions of
them will fall, and they will appear

the colors of the rainb bow. The fact

NEGRO QUESTION.
John Temple Graves Relieves a Solution
Is In Colonizatson.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 27.-John Temple
Graves, associate editor of The Journal
of Atlanta, Ga, is a guest at Newelis
hotel. He is en- route from Washing
ton to East Liverpool, o., where he is tc
deliver a lecture. His time is being
devoted principally to his lecture on
"The Last Hope of the Negro, in which
he advocates colonization and absolute
separation from the white race. He
says his plan for the formation of q
negro state on the vacant lands of the
West is approaching realization and that
he is hopeful of its adoption and the
solution of the race question.
"The interior department" he said
"has been making some investigatio s
along this line and it has been discov-
cred that there are about 200, 600, 600 acres
of contiguous vacant government land In
the West that would provide a livli-
hood for many times the present popu-
lation of negroes in this country.
II find while travelling through the
United States that the sentiment and
interest is growing rapidly in favor
of the colonization of the colored race.
The people of the North and Middle
West realize more fully than ever that
the race question must be settled. The
negro population of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have increased until the colored
men hold almost the balance of political
power in those states and there is an
increasing alarm for the future"

RHlNOCEROS AT LARGE.
1t Could Dance to Music and Frightened
an Italian Organ Grinder.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 30.-An ltal.
ian organ grinder was nearly scared out
of his wits and half a hundred people
fled with terror from an inoffensive rhi-
noceros which escaped while being un-
loaded from a Penasylvani railroad
car. The beast was sent here for the
Geological garden ard arrived in good
health and spirits.
Twenty employees of the express COM
pany stood about to prevent 1t getting
away, but when the animal started al
fed down Seventeenth street, The rhi-
noceros went to Market, the men after
her, thence to Sixteenth and back to
Filbert. In the short journey it passed
probably a hundred people, and put all
to flight An Italian grinding out a
merry tune on his organ got shock
that almost killed him.
The beast has been with circus and
can dance and do a cake walk. At Six
teenth and Filbert streets it heard the
sound of the music and began TO dance,
The Italian did not know what brought
the crowd, but he kept on turning his
crank until suddenly there was a roar
of laughter and he turned to find the
beast standing still, solemnly looking
at him. Emitting a terrific yell, he
dropped the crank and ran. The animal
was caught and put back in the cage
with little difficulty.

Eeveral Hours Hard Fighting In Which
ohe British Lost About Ono Hundred
Men-The Loss TO the Beers Was Much
Larger-Report Made to the British
War Office.
LONDON, Oct. S1.-The war office
here has received a dispatch which
says General White has fought an en-
.gagement al Ladysmith, presumably
$th General Joubert's force which was
pushed back after several hours fight
ing. The British lost about 100 men
and the Beers losses were much great
er The Beers were in larger numbers
and had better artillery.
General Whites dispatch, which was
dated at 4:30 p. M, read;
II employed all the troops here, ex-
cept the obligatory garrison before the
works. l sent a mountain battery, the
Royal Irish Fusiliers and the Glouces-
ters to take up a position on the hills,
to clear my left flank. The force
moved at IL Sunday evening and, dur
ing some night firing, the battery mules
stampeded with some of the guns,
which, however, l hope to recover.
These two battalions have not yet re-
turned but are expected to return
soon.
II detailed two brigade divisions of
field artillery and five battalions Of in
fantry, aided by cavalry, under General
French, to attack position upon which
the enemy had mounted guns. We
found this position evacuated, but our
force was attacked with considerable
vigor by what l believe were General
Joubert's troops. They had many guns
and showed in great numbers. Our
troops were all in action and we pushed
the enemy back several miles but did
not succeed in reaching his laager. Our
losses are estimated at between so and
100, but those of the enemy must have
been much greater, the fire of our guns
appearing very effective.
after being in action several hours
l withdrew the troops and they return
ed unmolested to their cantonments.
The enemy are in great numbers and
their guns range further than our
field guns.
II now have some naval guns which
have temporarily silenced, and, l hope,
will permanently dominate the enemy's
best guns with which he has been bonn
harding the town at a range Of over
5000 Yards"
