Bryirr, Mo., Dec. 26.—Much apprehension was felt among law abiding citizens yesterday in regard to the white and biack miners, but uo conflict occurred between them, On Chiistinas eve the negroes had a dance at the stockade, and many of them were intoxicated and re vers were frequently flourished, Several fights occurred among them and_ tll night long there was shooting going on withont fatal effect, however. Citizens claim that all the shooting ‘Was done by the negroes, and the negroes claim {hat some of the white miners did the shooting. Yesterday the negroes remained in the stock- ade drinking heavily. There was also a great deal of drinking amiong the white men, and frequent fights occurred on both sides. A’larze number of both black and white miners went to Macon to-day, and the authorities there were somewhat alarmied and took extraordinary pro- eautious to prevent trouble by enlisting extra police. Several altercations took place, but Prompt arrests prevented a riot. ee Striking for Shorter Hours.

In comsequence of the strike the miners are idle, aud as the company has Bo coal of any consequence on hand the strike Places them ima tight place. Tae sirikerw ac- ion is not sanctioned by the local assembly of the Knights of Labor, as there Is but one of the number among the strikers that belongs to the order. It is generally supposed, that the com- Pany will at once shorten the drivers’ hours, or put new men in their places, as they cannot well afford to allow the mines to be idle. oa The Collision in the Sound. IDENCE, R. I., Dec. 26.— The Point Judith life saving crew put out in their life boat yesterday for the scene of the collision be- tween theschooner Willle Dewolfe and another unknown vessel, and have not yet returned. A. northeast gale prevailed yesterday and to-day with snow flurries and thick weather this morning. A dispatch from Point Judith to- Gay says it is supposed the crew reached Block Island harbor. ‘The government cable to Block Island is inoperative, and their fate cannot be definitely known until a steamer can get through to Newpor —— Pid Children's Christmas Clab.

Harsha, 905 H street, yester- day morning, when a lady occupying the front third story room, immediately under the roof, was startled, shortly before 7 o'clock, by a re: port whicn Sounded like a pistol shot on the foot. ‘The plastering came tumbling down and showed a hole about two inches in diameter in the ceiling, through which the light could be seen through the tin roof, which {is about two feet above the ceiling. At first it was thought that the hole was caused by a pistol ball, but as the direction was perpendicular this explana- tion was not reconciliable with the cireumstan- ces. Mr. Yeates, of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, aiter a careful examination, came to the conclusion that the hole was made by; small meteorlite, which Ira exploded aiter it had en- ered the room. | The servant had swept up the loor, and it is suj 6 particles: uy thrown into the fre along with the pieces of mortar, District Government Affairs.

ALarge Party Engaged in Hasting Still Unsetved. Nothing, as yet, has been developed to clear Up the mystery surrounding the disappearaée of Philip Haviland, ot Montgomery county, Md. The search has been almost continously kept up now for a week. Yesterday & party was Organized at the grocery stote of the Messrs, Graeves, Sligo, Md., and started towards Rock creek, intending to search in the valley of that creek further south than heretofore. The whole of the afternoon was spent in the search, but without result. At the cldse of the day a con- sultation was beld at Mr. Graeves’ store, and it Was deemed best to have @ more geriefal search {0-day on the westof the 7th street road, taking in the whole of the country from Brightwood to the cross roads, a distance of four or five miles in length, and ‘extending to Rock creek. The Messrs, Graeves afterwards proceeded to Bright- Wood to invite the co-operation of the citi- zens in that neighborhood and those living on that road, and it was this morning, thought that a hundred and fifty ‘men would ascemble At Sligo and take part in the search. While at Brightwood, the Messrs.Graeves communicated, 23 telegraph, with Major Dye, of this eity, whg agreed to make a detall of detectives’ and county police to assist in the search today. It is Proposed to inake a more thorough seareh in the neighborhood of Linden, Ray's woods and the valley of Rock creek, and the gulches conneoted with and leading to it, This county is very ragged and affords many hiding places. ‘The search 18 now being made on the theory that Haviland was murdered by the six negroes who drove the two-horse wagon load of Christinas evergreens to Washington the night he was missing. ‘THE BLOOD SPOTS ON THE STONE.

WHAT LIEUT. SWINDELLA SAYS, Detective Block, Sergeant Slattery and Ofm- cers Fifield and White are engaged in the search to-day. Lieut. Swindells, in charge of the detective corps, said today that today’s Search was, he uriderstood 1 to be thorough and final, ‘If nothing was found the search in the neighborhood where Haviland was last seen would be abandoned. He did not think that failure to tind any traces of the missin, inan would necessarily indicate that there had been no murder, as the body might have been hauled away along distance in a wagon, and thrown into the Potomac or some other stream. HELD ON SUSPICION. A very black colored boy, about 19 years of ‘ge, having a rustic appearance, applied at the third precinct police station, West Washing- ton, last night for lodging, which was given him. He gave his name as Dan, Anderson; his actions were strange, and ashe answered the discription given in & dispatch sent over from the second precinet relative to a man supposed tohavesome connection with the disappear: Qnee of Haviland, he was detained by Station Keeper Boss and’ turned over to Officer Fifield Of the second precinet, He positively denied any knowledge of the disappearance of Philip Haviland, WHAT ANDERSON SAYS. The boy Anderson, taken into custody at the third precinct station, spent to-day in a cell at the second precinct station. He was wanted because he was known to have been in Bean's store, near Slizo, on the night of the disuppear- ance of Haviland, ‘He bonght a handkerehief there and after- ‘wards, it is said, joined a party of colored men who Had a wagon. Anderson told a Stak re- porter to-day thathe lived near Rockville and walked to this city in search of work, He was very much confused in his dates. He said he knew nothing of Mr. Haviland, but had heard about the ease in the siore of Norbeck, ‘That, he said, was on Tuesday of last week. It was ‘on Wednesday that, according to his statement, that he bought the hand- kerchief "at Bean's store. He denied that he had Joined any “other colored men, but said he came on to this city alone, Wheh asked why {t took him so long to travel over the few miles to this city, he said he had stopped on the way to Inquire for work. pA ‘The White House Hand-Shaking.

REPORT OF CONSUL GENERAL RAINE—BIS- MARCK'S COLONIAL POLICY—CONDITION oF TRADE, Mr, Frederick Raine, the Americau consul general at Berlin, inthe introductioy to his an nual report, writes briefly of the rise of the Ger- manempire. Cautiously but steadily, he says, @ new system of government was carried into execution. The almost uninterrupted flow of new laws was apparently not retarded by even asingle inconsistency. They formed symmet- rical parts of a structure that long before its erection was planned by a far-seeing statesman. Sufficient financial and other means were abundantly on hand, With the establishment of theempire an iminense amount of intellec- tual ‘amd moral foree, for centuries neutralized by petty rivalry between individual states of the confederation, become available, and Bis- Marek was prompt in Inviting and ‘directing them to higher aims. With their aid he was enabled to forge formidable instruments tor the creation of new political and other organizations hardly thought of before. Mr. Raine embodies in his report a serie. of tables, trom which he deduces several interest- ing tacts. The population of the area now com- rised in the German empire, which was £4.031,000 in. 1816, had Increased to 45,234, O00 in 1880, and at its present rate of increase it doubles once in forty-seven thegr This is in excess of the growth of population in any of the neighboring powers. Great Britain, Mr. Raine says, doubles her opalation in fifty-one years, the Netherlands in filty-two years, Denmark in fifty-four years, Austria in sixty and one-half years, Belgium in sixty-one years, while France Fequires two hundred years to double her popu- lation at present rates. The emigration from the empire shows a steady and marked decrease since 1881, from which fact Mr. Raine argues that either the economical condition of Germany. bas im- proved, the attractive force of America has de- creased, or Bismarck’s colonial policy is prov- ing successful, ‘This policy te meeting with universal approval throughout the cimpire. ‘The German Colonial assoc! formed two years ago, spread with great rapidty. ‘The first Requisition was made by @ Bremen firm of traders, the area being 900 German square mailes i South Africa, The traders applied for ‘And received recognition from the home gove: n- ment, and other traders speedily followed the example, possession being thus acquired in East Affica, Cameron, Augra Paquena and ‘other South Sea islands. “It ia now proposed that all associations and companies which are endeavoring to promote German colonial inter ¢sts shall De federated, and the question, Mr. Raine says, will be considered at a meeting shortly to be held in Berlin. The government has recently subsidized two lines of steamsiii to run between t-e parent country and the colonies, and a third line has just been estab- lished by private enterprise between Hamburg ‘and the Congo. ‘Mr. Raine deseribes another colonial enter- prise of a novel character, now in successful Operation. ‘Three or four years ago several hun- dred thousand tramps infested Germany and drew from the people many millions anoually bestowed in charity. A ‘clergyman first sug- gested the plan of colonizi people, and With the aid of men of wealth secured tracts of Waste or partly cultivated land in Westphalla, where he organized a “Workman's Colony.” Local commitices were every where formed to counsel the withholding of alms and the be- stowal of an equivalent sum tothe new colonial enterprise, The plan worked Well and tramps lied to migrate to the colony ra, There they were washed, pro- loyment a8 tarm laborers. Gradually, in the i ieress of colonization, they found Work ut Tes] trades, dnd many came nreful ‘members of society. The found their way to the workhobses, The em- peror and many influential men of the empire took a deup interest in the matter, and at pres- ent such colonies are established in all the colo- nies and states of Germany. ——— ARother Polish Riet im Betrott.
