THE HOME or THE
 NEGRO QUESTION
PARr u.
BY SAMUEL PH1LL1PS VERNER, In Central Africa. The Cape to Cairo Railway. An

PART II.
 did not remain long at Loanda after | obtained the desired information con cerning the political and geographical situation of the country under Portugese rule to the west of the territory I pro- posed to explore. In company with. Col oneI Weston enjoyed several short trips to the immense coffee plantations outside of the city. inspected the Angola Rail- way which is projected across the iconti- nent from West to East, to make connec- ton with Rhodes's Cape to Cairo line just below Lake Tanganyika.
 The purport of this writing beingito de- scribe some things about the. ancient slave trade, We shall now proceed to the heart of the Baschilange country, 5cO miles north of where Livingstone crossed the Kasai River in his memorable Journey 70 Loanda in. 1854 This was a thousand miles from Loanda, and was reached oy rail and river steamer. with several nun dred miles afoot. Colonel Weston pade me atieu with tears in his eyes TOT ne had wept when had told him about the vicissitudes of his beloved Richmond, which he was destined never 70 see asain. The fated gentleman fell victim to the ancient foe of the Angio-Saxon in the . tropics bilious fever. and died just as was leaving for America. Peace to his ashes!
 . We cannot here enter into the details of my settlement at tne capital ok NuOfn- be. paramount chieftain of the Upper Kasai Valley great yellow giant, with an army of Brobdingnaggian warriors served by pigmy retainers; or any &C., count of many adventures In that inter- esting country, except in connection with efforts to put down the slave trade. These efforts were mainly undertaken by the method of redeeming the slaves by paying their masters for them, then free ing them, and establishing them in ag- ricutural colonies under our general pro- lection and oversight.
 There were many difficulties, in the way when I commenced operations. In the first place the profits of the trade were high. the sales sure, the gains from the birth of children large. the utility of the slave pending transfer considerable, and the licenses allowed a master toward his female slaves unlimited. The customs of the country made the treatment of run away slaves so rigorous that only small losses were encountered in this way. Moreover. the demand for labor by the white men, and the permission by the laws accorded to them to make contracts with slaves, added to the movement in the direction of white settlements. When arrived at Luebo, five years after MT. Lapsley founded that station in 1890. the slave trade was still in full blast, despite all efforts to stop 1t.
 My first practical experience in the matter was soon after my arrival. I

PSALM SINGERS THRIVE.
"Seceders," the Old Scotch Presby- terians, Increase 50 Per Cent
 in Ten Years.

Washington Times.
 The Presbyterians of the United States are divided into several branches. each branch having a distinct organization. The Associate Reformed Presbyterians. found in the South and commonly known 'Seceders." consti- ute one of the branches.
 The "Seceders." who are psalm singers, are a type of Presbyterianism as it existed in Scotland, its original home. where only psalms. the hymns of the ancient Hebrews, were ad- mitted proper to be sung in religious wor- ship. relaxation in this regard long since took place among Presbyterians in most other countries. hymns of human composition be- ing permitted to be used in church services equally with the inspired songs of the Bible.
 In this country the Scottish or psalm-sing- North and West coalesced in 1858. under the name of United Presbyterians." but the psalm singing Presbyterians of the South held aloof from the coalition and retained their old name of Associate Reformed Presbyterians."
 Now Trying to Unite.
 These two bodies of psalm-singing Presby- terians have for several years been consider ing the subject of organic union. The Rev. oliver Johnson of South Carolina. by dIrec- tion of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod of the South the highest ecclesiastical body of that denomination. bore the fraternAl greetings of the synod fin 900 to the General Assembly at Chicago of the United Presby- terian Church.
 The greetings reciprocated in cordial expres- sion the desire that the time should come when their churches which are one in matters of doctrine and discipline, should be also one in organic action.
 The following year. in a convention of United Presbyterians. held at Winona Lake. Ind, Mir Johnson, who had been invited to attend, and make an address, was presented on the floor of the convention with gaveL which had been
