Fine deer were recently seen quietly
feeding in a Richmond pasture. Last
winter was not a hard one for them and
indications are that the coming season
will be a fruitful one for the hunters
especially in Windsor and Rutland coun-
ties. Partridge hunters. who have been
shooting in the mountains in the vicin-
ity of the Pico, killngton and Shrcws-
bury mountains say they have come
across many herds near the winter deer
yards and that in every instance the
number of bucks was larger than "A year
ago. About ten days ago John Morse
of Brdgcwater, while packing blackbcr-
ries near the old Bates place on Pico
mountain, observed a lame fawn and its
mother. The little animal had evidently
been injured by a barbcd wire fence and
as both the mother and the youngster
seemed tame. Morse worked his way
near them Just to sec how near he could
get" The old deer observed the man
suspiciously while the fawn nestled
within ten feet of the animals when he
heard a stamping, followed by a below

pronGs on his antlcrs. charged upon
the man. Morse had Just time to drop
his berry pail and gain the low branches

CHAMBERLAIN OUT AGAIN.
FIRST ADDRESS SINCE HIS RE-
 CENT ILLNESS.

Willing to Answer Seriously Points
 Raised by ResponsibIe Men Such us Goshen and Asquith-Replies to Charge That He Has Based His Whole
 System on Boom Year of 1s72
 London, Oct. 20.-Joseph Chamberlain addressed an enthusiastic meeting of
 4,0OO persons at Newcastle tonight. It was his first public appearance since his recent illness. The former colonial sec retary devoted considerable attention to ridiculing Lord Rosebery, Sir Henry Campbell and Earl Spencer. He said that considering the fact that he had been termed an electioneering quack whose arguments were not worth answering he was surprised at the amount of popular interest and newspa- per comment his proposals had elicited. Then speaking seriously Mir. Chamber lain said he had not raised party, but rather a national position. He was will- | ing to answer seriously the points raised by men like Lord Goschen and H. H.
 Asquith. He had not pretended, he con-
 tinued, that his system could be insti- tuted without costing anything at the start. but he did urge that taxation be transferred from points where it bene- fitted nobody to points where the empire would profit. If the country had done well in the past it was not because of free trade. MT. Chamberlain said he was no! standing befoe his hearers because
 he had had the gout, but in spite of it..
 Replying to the charge that he had
 based his whole system on the boom year Of 1872, MT. Chamberlain said his opponents would find, if they took the five year periods working back from 1875
 that these would show better still for his side of the case. and he went at length into statistics with the view of proving this contention. He did not claim that the empire would break up l immediately If his system was not adopted, but there was always certain tendency towards cleavage, and com mercial preference was the only method of binding the colonies to the mother country. x | The colonies contained eleven million
 whites. who had offered to make sacri-
 4ces if necessary, in order to build up an empire such as the world had never
 seen. The United Kingdom should not
 turn a deaf ear to such an offer and
 thereby lose a chance. which if now
 neglected. never would recur.

FOR REOIPRoOITY.
New Treaty witn Canada Urged by De-
 troit Board of Trade.


 Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2o.-The Detroit Chamber os Commerce, at a general meeting tonight, adopted a resolution favoring Canadian reciprocity and urg- ing the immediate reconvening of the joint high commission for the purpose of negotiating new reciprocity treaty with Canada. The resolution points out the geographical and racial reasons, which, 1t is declared, make it clear that the most intimate trade relations would be mutually advantageous, and says:
 "The disappointment of the Canadian people at the failure of the British government to grant reciprocal advan-: tages corresponding with their own preferential tariffs, and the purpose of the Canadian government to take the initiative in reconvening the joint high commission, combine to make this an opportune time for entering anew up-l on negotiations looking to reciprocal trade agreements; while the growing independence of Canadian industries, the possible adoption of a system of preferential tariffs, applicable to all British colonies and dependencies, and the movement for raising the Dominion tariffs, especially upon our manufac- tured goods, in case a reciprocity treaty is not negotiated all give warning of the danger of delay"

AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSN.
Financ ciai onsii,ion or tho soclety-The
 Negro Probsem <


 Nogro Problem :.
 Cleveland, Oct. 20.--The sessions of the fifty-seventh annual meeting of the American Missionary association began here to-day, President Washington Gladden., of Columbus, Ohio, presiding. The report of the treasurer, H. w. Hubbard, of New York showed the to- tai amount received for current work and for endowment Is s433, ,294. The to- tai receipes for current work alone haye been $336, ,601; there is debit balance on the year of s19,414 The estimat es for the coming year awaken expecta- tions of an income of $400,000, which will require an increase in donations of about tWenty-eight per cent. over the past year. ~.... .. s The Daniel Hand income account for the education of the 'colored people in the south shows an income for the year of $66,139, and balance on hand and appropriated of s8,369.
 The principal feature of the everling was the sermon by Rev. F. S. Moxom D. D.. Of Springfield, Mass, who spoke on Our Problem With the Negro In America" .1.t 5.aS There is curious recrudescence of negrophobisn. No scheme of whole sale emigration, said Dr. Moxom, Is practicable. A general deportation of the blacks, even If it were possible, would paralyze the industries of the southern states and destroy their grow ing material prosperity. There is a great multitude of whites that need ed ucating and Christianizing.
 Now the American Missionary asso- citation is pushing into the lowlands with it's schools, and 1t finds invitation and opportunity far beyond it's present means to meet. The association should have at least half million dollars a year for the general work and a million for immediate endowment of its higher institutions. The evil of the negro problem does not belong to the south alone--it affects all the country.
 President Gladden.. in responding to the addresses of welcome, said among other things: "There are many ques- tions before the people of Ohio in this ampaign-ouestions of taxation, of state administration, of national policy perhaps. but none of them compares for moment with that tremendous ques- tion which will be before use here every | day: What is the nation going to do with the black man?'" ..s
