SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL TOUR.

Governor Chandler Says Agricultural
 Field is the Place for Negroes.
 New York, April 25.-According to a World special from Savannah, Ga, Governor Allen D. Chandler of Georgia In commenting on the coterie of Phil anthropists, headed by Robert c. Og- den which recently made an education al tour through the south, said: II don't think much of this tour. The negro colleges of cthe south do not need the aid of these northern people very much.
 "We can attend to the education of the darky in the south without the aid of these Yankees and give them the education they most need, too. I do not believe in the higher education of the Garky. He should be taught the trades; but when he is taught the fine arts he gets educated out of his caste and is unhappy.
 .'I am opposed to putting negroes in offices and factories, when you do that you will cause dissatisfaction between the two races and such things might lead to a race war. The field of agri' culture is the proper one for the ne- gro.'s

IN THE CONGO REGIONS.
Transportation Free For Negroes Who
 Learned to Farm.

New York, April 25.--William George Emanuel, the representative of the Congo-Africans, both native and their descendants im Cuba, and Emil Rem ders, of the French Congo have reach ed here from abroad on their way to Cuba. MT Emanuel is interested in getting colored people from Cuba who has trades or have learned to farm, to settle in the Congo regions, and help to civilize the natives. Some months ago, MT Emanuel said, he saw King Leopold II of Belgium respecting q grant of land in the Congo Free State.
 Both the French and Belgian gov ernments have given grants to socie- ties for the purpose of colonization and exploitation of the Congo,' said Mir Emanuel "Emil Renders is the rep- resentative of the society to whose grant we intend to take the Cubans. At first we will take 800 negroes. Transportation has already been arr ranged and the negroes are willing to leave Cuba because the fruits of their toll have been destroyed in the many wars.
 s'It is not on account of dislike of the American government in Cuba that they wish to leave. There has been no disposition on the part of the United States to interfere but on the other hand assistance has been offered to facilitate the departure of the Africans who wish to return to their native land"

 Hartford, April 25.-The s.anti-tele- phone monopoly fight so called came up at half past eleven in the house as the order of the day, and after a long debate in which many members took part the amendment was defeat-' ed. MT Guilfoile led the opposition to the Southern New England telephone company and in favor of the alnend-'
 ment and spoke at some length for the passage of the amendment. The fishery and game committed, which has been making general re- adjustment of the fishery laws since the opening of the session to-day senE into the house report in the shape of
 a new bill. The new bill provides In brief as follows: No person shal. spear fish between May 1 and March 15. Minnows may be taken for bait with a seine in all brooks except trout brooks; no person shall take dah| with q seine or net in any p0nd or stream, unless authorized by the coll1- missiOners, except as above provided. These provisions, however, do not ap- ply to tide water, the Connecticut riv- CT, Housatonic river below the Holl-. satonic water company's dam Vio- latOrs of this act shall be fined not more than $25 or imprisoned not moro than thirty days or both. It was tabled for printing.
 The bill providing for a secret ball lot on the quesetion of license was re- jected by the house.
 The bill making parents inherent over brothers and sisters was rejected and tabled for printing.
 The senate passed the resolution re- admitting ex-Senator David Callahan to practice in the New Haven courts. Senator Landon opposed it strongly

 An interesting matter before the rail- road committee, Tuesday afternoon, was the bill requiring the steam rall- roads of the state to issue mileage books for 800 miles. instead of 1000 mile books, costing $20. George Smith of Danbury explained the 500-mlle system in New York, and Representa- tives Pratt of Cornwall, BIclznell of lIeriden and Scoyill of Salisbury fz1~ vored the bill. The fact was brought out that both the Consolidated roa41 andethe Central New England sell 5t)!)- mile books which may be used on the points of their lines in New York, but issue only $20 mileage books for Con- necticut. Attorney Robbins for the Consolidated road questioned whether the legislature had right to deter mine any matter of fares, and suggest ed that the advocates of the bill might have accomplished their purpose by making request to the officials of the road.
