‘THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1889. 7 THE RACE PROBLEM. A Spirited Discussion in the Senate. ‘MR. MORGAN, OF ALABAMA, AND MR. BLAIR, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE DE- BATE—THEIR VIEWS AS TO THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO. The monotony of the tariff debate in the Senate was broken yesterday afternoon by Messrs. Morgan and Blair. Senator Morgan was replying to Senator Hawley, who had touched on land values, and the Alabamian called attention to the fact that it costs about $1,000 of somebody's money to raise a boy from the date of his birth until he is eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years of age. Such an expenditure was a tax upon the community. In many of the northern states, through immigration laws and public enterprise (for which the states were to be commended) the laborer was drawn from foreign lands already. raised, The thousand dollars which had been invested in the raising of each of these men was expended by a com- munity across the water. When the man ar- rived he was ready to go to work, having cost the community to which he had come nothi atall. “The land upon which he is employed, continued Mr. Morgan, . of course, very much more valuable than land would be in a country where it costs a thousand dollars to raise the laborer, and when you get him raised he is of no account at ail.” ME. MORGAN ON THE YOUNG NEGROES OF THE SouTH. “Now, take the young negroes of the sonth, and they are the most unpromising; yes, the most God-forsaken set of people in respect of industry and of hoy and prospects of ever performing anything thet requires labor, found anywhere outside of Algiers or Morocco, or the great desert of Sahara. It costs us down there a fall thousand dollars to raise a negro child— a boy—from his birth to eighteen years of not to include the stealing and the other predations that the poor creature perpetrate: it seems from a natural drift; I am afraid it is that.” THE DIFFERENCE IX THE PRICE OF NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN LANDS. The fact that the south was thus taxed while many states of the north imported labor was, the Senator argued, the reason why northern lands ae higher prices than those which were equally valuable, but which were located in the south. “Sir,” continued Mr. Morgan, “if I could by a decree of law or of Providence expel from the state of Alabama this day every negro in it and have a barrier erected so that he could never return, the lands in Alabama would rush up to prices greater than they are in Wisconsin, and the people would rush into that country with more eagerness than they are trying now to get into Oklahoma.” After descanting upon the beauty and fertil- ity of Alabama sn Gisclaiming any responsi- bility (so far the present generation was concerned) for the presence of the negro in the south, Mr. Morgan said, ‘We have a sub- Stratum of laboring population in the south upon which you cannot builda real, substantial. prosperous industry. either in manufacturing or im agriculture. That is our misfortune. God knows I regret it. Icannot help it. That accounts for the figures which the honorable senator from Connecticut has just laid before the Senate.” MR. BLAIR ASKED MR. MORGAN if the Senate was to understand that it would be for the interest of the southern white people to have the negroes emigrate from the south- s in a bods Mr. Morgan disclaimed the advocacy of any such movement; at least not immediately. Mr. Blair—I should be glad to have the Sena- tor justify his statement upon that point. IN FAVOR OF SCATTE THE NEGROES IN NORTHERN STATES. Mr. Morgan—But I was always in favor of tit proposition brought in by the former Senator from Minnesota, Mr. Windom, which looked to the scattering of the negroes of the south out into the northern states. I wish the Senator from New Hampshire had in bis state a@ 100,000 thet I could furnish him from Alabama. I wish he had a 100,000 of them. I should be very glad indeed to give them up. Mr. Blair—If the Senator will permit me upon that very point, I will state that I had the honor to serve upon the committee which in- vestigated that subject, and I thought it was very manifest tha the southern people as rep- resented in the Senate at that time were ex- ceedingly incensed at the supposed object of that investigation, to encourage the exodus of the colored people from those states. For one I thought that they had a mght to be, and that it was against the interest of both the white and the colored population that there should be any such dispersion of the colored people of the south throughout the country at large any further than a discontented surplus might do that, perhaps, to the relief of the congested mass at home. Personally I always encouraged their remain- ining the and many a time I have written letters to colored men to that effect who have asked me through their correspondence upon that subject. In letters I have written to them I have stated that I thought the thing for them to do was to remain in the southern states, at home; that the southern white man was really their best friend. If I have been laboring un- der a mistake, if the southern white people 1 that it is better that the colored popul: tion should gradually seek homes elsewhere, I should be glad to know it, and I will give such advice asT may be called upon to give in another direction. WILLING THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE SHALL HAVE THE COLORED PEOPLE. Mr. Morgan—I was asked by the Senator from New Hampshire whether I was of the opinion that it would be for the benefit of the people of the southern country that the negro should disperse into other states. I answered it by stating that I was always in favor of the propo- tion advanced by Senator Windom for the dis- persion of the negroes. I believe it would bea — to the — of the south if thatcould done. I do not know that the Senator from New Hampshire has made any great effort to draw negroes into his state. I wish he would start. among the many societies that he seems to be propagating, a society for the introduc- tion of negroes from Alabama into New Hamp- shire. and I would do my best to promote his society, to get subscribers to it, and. to get ne- groes to migr: He ean have all the benetit of them that he thinks he wants. MR. BLAIR'S RETORT. Mr. Blair—I will say to the Senator that I would think it quite as much for the interest of my state to organize such a society and to have it efficient to secure the immigration of the colored people of Alabama to our state as the white men. Mr. Morgan—As the white men of Alabama! I understand that. The Senator from New Hampshire may spare hir l of his inve tive against the people of Alabama, for, very fortunately for us. it either goes below our feet or over our s. It makes no impres- sion upon us. The Senator can wear himself out with such allusions, if he chooses to do it, without producing even a rufiie upon our skirts or any sort of excitement to the people of Alabama. Mr. Blair—If the Senator will permit me—— GETTING WARM. Mr. Morgan (hotly)—I decline to yield fur- ther. Mr. Blair (with an extraordinarily pale face and with lips that seemed to be bloodless)—I should be very glad to limit my general tion upon the people of Alabama and confine it simply to the Senator with whom I am engaged in a colloqt Mr. Morgan—If any providential thing should keep the Senator and | apart forever, God be thanked. I do not know any reason that I have for going with him. He adds nothing to my happiness that I know of, and I think a more intimate association with him would neither improve me in temper. in information, or in any other respect. So the gentleman can take his leave of me forever, if he chooses to do so, and I should be glad to have him do so. Mr. Blair—I imagine I shall if I ascend here- after. Mr. Morgan—Perhaps you may, but the juestion of your ascending hereafter is one of the problems that I cannot decide, fortunately. As the tree falls so will it lie.

An Old Sailor’s Reminiscences of the General’s Visit to his From the Kansas City Times. “Well, you see, sir,” began the gentleman with the brown and wrinkled face, “I ama sailor by profession and at the time of General Grant's tour was a man-of-war’s man on the —, flagship of the European sqnadron. Grant first appeared to our ship’s company in Ville Franche, a little seaport on the French coast between Nice and Monaco. It is the ren- dezvons of the American squadron in the Medi- terranean and the storehouse for the fleet is established there. General Grant's arrival had been rumored for Several days and all prepa- rations had been made in his honor. Upon his arrival, which was by carriage from Nice, the admiral’s barge, which was in readiness at the landing. received him and brought him aboard the hip, where he was received Ad- miral Roy. After a short visit the took him ‘back to the shore, saluted as he left the ship by twenty-one guns and by the manning of yarae by the men. salute is only to the highest of Rersonages, such as the emperor of Ramaer the highest public functionary of any state or nation, but Grant received it everywhere and from every nation he visited. This was the last we saw of the general for some weeks. Shortly after his visit in Ville Franche-Sur-Mer, which is the full name of the little post, we left there for Smyrna to look after America’s interests at that place. At that time the Turco-Russian war was jn full blast, and every nation in Europe whic! any navy was represented atSmyrna. Great Britain had twenty-two or twenty-three sail on the coast which we passed the straits toward Smyrna, lying at their ren- dezyous in a bay whose name I have for- gotten. Within three days after our arrival at Smyrna the whole British fleet came ‘as we went up in and took up their stations near us. The fine harbor was a beautiful sight to a sailor, con- taining, as it did. the men of war of nearly every nation in Europe, with the exception of Turks and Russians, who were of course busy elsewhere. The French had six, the Germans four, the Austrians and Italians four each, the Hollanders one little corvette, while the United States was Soy shone by five and all of Asia by one little Japanese corvette. Add to these the twenty-two or twenty-three fine vessels of the English navy. A few days after the ar- rival of the Englishmen a_ steamer made her appearance early in the morning, which was quickly proclaimed by our quarter- master as the Vandalia, one of our fleet, which everybody knew to have been detailed for special service, which special service was the transportation of General Grant from place to place as his plans or conven- iences might call for during his stay in Mediterranean. At about 8 o'clock she came to anchor near us. and during the day a few visits were made, but the visits of ceremony were put off for a day or two. On the day set apart for the visits of ceremony, of which the officers of each nation were informed before- hand, the general came to the flagship and from there started on his round of visits to the admiral or commodore of each fleet or squadron, As his boat shoved off from the side of each flagship the salute of twenty-one guns was fired and the yards manned. Before the echo of the last gun had died away our battery re- turned the salute by firing twenty-one guns, As the general visited the flagship of each of the fleets and as each saluted him, our gun- ners were kept busy returning the salutes, The smoke became as thick in the harbor as if two line of battle-ships had been fighting for a halfaday, A few days later the Vandalia and her noted passenger left and we never saw the latter any more. Grant was a common-looking man anyhow and didn’t look like the successful general he was. He was a men of nerve, though. I know, at least, he wasn't easily excited, He came aboard one morning just at eight bells, when we were drill- ing masts and yards. That is exciting business to the onlookers as well as the actors, but it didn’t move a muscle of Grant's face, He stood there with a cigar in the corner of his mouth and watched as coolly as if he had been brought up anaval officer. Of course you think that a man who has directed the movements of vast armies to a successful conclusion through a long and bloody war, and afterward served two terms as President of the United States, would be unlikely to be excited by a mere drill. But the scene is so noisy and exciting and the ap- parent confusion so great that it would seem to 4 spectator as if the ship must be in some im- minent and deadly danger.” at “see A Destructive Earthquake.

The republicans seem to be determined that nothing shall be done unless the demo- particularly in regard to the gubernational contest. The democrats are determined not to do this, and are using every effort to elect a president of the body, be he republican or democrat. No session of the senate was held this after- noon, the body having adjourned until to-mor- row. There isat present no sign of the end of the deadlock, but it is whispered that the dem- ocrats will at once make an unexpected move, in the hope of attaining that end. é ‘1 = Convict Delaney’s Testimony. HE SAYS THE FENIANS WERE NOT AN ASSASSINA- TION SOCIETY AND ED IN OPEN FIGHTING. In his evidence before the Parnell commis- sion, in London yesterday afternoon, Delaney, the convict, spoke of an attempt to hire a house on Castle Hill, Dublin, from which officials of the castle could be shot with rifles. Carey failed to get the house. In 1881, when Carey was 2 candidate for the Dublin municipal coun- “gan promised that all his expenses would be paid. Egan held that an invincible ought Delaney identified letters signed by . When questioned in regard to Egan’s letter in which reference is made to afund, Delaney said he knew nothing about such a fund. On cross-examination by Sir Charles Russell the witness admitted that when seventeen years old he was sentenced to penal servitude for five years for highway robbery. He en- rolled himself with the Fenians the same night he left prison. When he was accused of the Phenix park murders he gave the authoritics all the information in his possession. It was his wife who, while visiting him in prison, warned him that he was suspected in connection with the Phenix park murders. He thereupon sup- plied a written statement tothe prison offi- cials. When asked how he eame to give the Times evidence, he stated that Crown Solici- tor Shannon came to the jail a fortnight ago and took his sworn ‘statement. fe- curring to the Fenian organization, he declared that it was never an assassination society except in cases where somebody informed ainst them. The Fenians sought to fight openly and were very different from the Invincibles. He knew Egan, Brennan and Byrne to be Fenians in 1876, having met them at a secret meeting. He admitted that he never met them amon; the Invineibles, but knew they were leaders of the Invincibles through Carey and others. He never saw any one of them giving money to anybody, but had seen money on a table at which Byrne was sitting. The witness stated that he was sentenced to death for complicity in the Phoenix Park murders, and Lord Spencer commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, which he is now undergoing. = — Not in His Case.

A Famous Case in Detroit Will Come Up for Another Postponement. From the Detroit Free Press. A judge in the Wayne circuit court mounted the steps of the new county building this morning, brusheda few flakes of snow from his elegant sealskin wrap, which had just been purchased from a raise in his salary, proceeded tothe private electrical elevator, touched a button, and in a jiffy was deposited in his sumptuously adorned private apartments on the second floor. Around the room was a stately array of massive furniture, partly hiding the polished marble wainscoting and looking down upon his honor from the wails were marvelous frescoes, the work of home talent. Touching another button the presence of the judge was announced to his eight associates, who occupied similar apartments en suite, and by some mysterious agency heavy silk plush portieres vanished into the air, resolving the eight rooms into one. The eight bn greeted each other heartily and entered into the spacious court chamber of the presiding judge. Here the walls were of many colored marbles delicately blended, relieved here and there by polished columns and bas re- liefs; the furniture was of highly artistic design. magnificently upholstered for the bar and jury cushioned arm chairs for the lobby and a won- derfully arranged bench of beautiful marble added dignity fitting to the highest court of original jurisdiction in the United States. The journal of the day previous was ordered read, ut there was no clerk present to stumble over the work which he had been obliged to hur- riedly complete the night before. In his place was a marble pedestal on which rested an im- proved phonographer. A low buzzing sound was first heard and then came from the silver bell mouth of the machine the sonorous tones ofaman repeating the various orders which had been made at the previous session. With these preliminaries disposed of the judges re- tired to their various. trial chambers which were each appointed in the same dignified elegance as that of the presiding chamber. and the judge who was first mentioned called his court to order by means of an electrical court crier, arranged on the plan of a phonograph which had a device in connection by which a gavel was brought down witha td organ | snap on a percussion cap. This court observe one of the lobby in the act of talking aloud to companion, and by means of an electrical connection by which the court was able to reach every seat in the court-room the man’s lips were paralyzed, and in this temporary state he was shown into the hall. The first case was that of two rival com} nies, in which one sought to enjoin the other from the manufacture of an improved erial freight transmitter. The second matter was a motion for a continuance of the case of the estate of Wm. W. Wheaton against the estate of Luther Beecher. er “Who is the attorney in this case?” inquired the court. “Iam, your honor,” replied an aged attor- ney. if “How long have you been connected with the case?” “Well, your honor, I have been connected with the plaintiff estate for about sixty years, having succeeded Col. Sellers, who had charge of the case for forty years before me, and I be- lieve commenced the suit in what history says was a superior court for this city.” : “This is an application for the defense,” terjected the court. “Is the attorney present?” “Yea, your honor,” said a comparatively oung man, “My grandfather. Col. John At- Ninaon, wan the trot ‘attorney and the charge of the case has fallen to me by inheritance.” __ “Are you ready to go to trial?” suggested his honor. pulling his ermine wrap around his shoulder. § “I am not, your honor, Both my grand- father and father tried to get ready in their lifetime, and I think that, with the progress they made, I shall have the case well in hand in ten years, I would like a continuance for that time.” - P “T object to the order,” broke in the plain- tiff's attorney with some show of feeling. “I have been trying all my lifetime to bring this case to trial and I should like to see it go to a jury before I die. “Under all the circumstances I shall con- tinue the case for ten years,” said the court. It is the general expression of opinion formed by the ogress that the Wheaton- Beecher case has eon making for the past three years, that a horoscope cast into the future for one hundred years would reveal a situation something as is revealed above, and the proceedings in the case yesterday before Judge Brevoort does not change the opinion. Instead of the impaneling of a jury, as was ex- pected. the proceeding simply amounted to a plea on the part of the defense for another continuance of the case. Col. Sellers, attorney for Mr. Wheaton, and Col. Atkinson, for Mr. Beecher, again appeared in court in’ their miliar positions across the tables from each other, and their respective clients were near them. see Under a Cloud. A BALTIMORE LAWYER LEAVES THAT CITY. A Baltimore special to the Philadelphia Times, January 16, says: William W. Buzy, a well-known lawyer, left Baltimore under a cloud of suspicion. Within the past few days his offices have been cleared of his valuable library and office furniture. Adaline Darling, widow of Lewis Darling, has filed a bill against Buzy and others to have set aside certain con- nees purporting to be from her to him, al- ng the same to be fraudulent. Since the bringing of this action Mr.Buzy has been miss- ing and is variously reported to have gone to New York and Chicago. He was well known in Baltimore and Philadelphia professionally and socially and his departure occasioned much surprise. Mr. Buzy was sent by the United States government to Demarara to investigate the supposed coloring of sugars, since which time he has been prominent in democratic politics and was a leading member of the Cres- centclub. The full amount involved in the transactions above stated has not yet been detinitely ascertained. Mr. Buzy’s wife was a Miss Brown, of Philadelphia, and well known in social circles of that city. A Battle with Moonshiners. OFFICERS ATTACKED BY DESPERATE OUTLAWS, AND A BRISK FIRE FOLLOWS, A Charlotte, N. C., special to the Philadel- phia, Press News is received here to- night of a terrible fight last night in Cleveland county. In these western counties moonshiners are very numerous, and of late are becoming very bold and lawless. United States Deputy Marshal G. W. Means, with his posse, de- stroyed eral distilleries and captured three moonshiners, whom they were carrying away as prisoners last night when fired upon from ambush by twenty-five moonshiners. The offi- cers returned the fire. One of the prisoners was shot. He fell from his horse and was rescued by moonshiners. Some of the officers were wounded, but they continued to return shots until at last the moonshiners were put to flight in the dark woods. Nobody was killed outright, but it is pretty evident that many of the moonshiners were wounded in the battle. One member of the posse by the name of Wray was shot through the neck. e Powprrty Catits Barry an ANnarcnist.—In Pittsburg, yesterday, General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, said that he did not care for Barry's new order, and said it was the privilege of the axe-makers to desert the Knights of Labor and go with Barry if they wanted to doso, “Barry.” said he, “is an anarchist andan agent of the anarchists, and if it had not been for this he would have still been in the order.” He denied that the Catholic church was a censor of the order any more than any other church, and claimed that the K. of L. organization was 8,000 stronger now than this time last year, oe Reovtatine Rartroap Cuances iN Inxrors, In the Illinois house Wednesday a bill was in- troduced to regulate sleeping-car companies by prohibiting a charge of more than $1 for twenty-four hours’ sole occupation of a lower berth or 75 cents for upper berths.

Concerning Stanley's letter to Tippoo Tib, Sir Francis De Winton says it merely confirms the explorer’s vious dispatches and fur- nishes little itional information. He ex- pects that further reports from Stanley will shortly be forthcoming. A great deal of specu- lation is rife as to why the letter to Tippoo Tib was forwarded to Brussels and other dispatches from Stanley withheld, but as yet no theory has been arrived at that will serve to explain circumstance. Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester, was tendered a banquet in Rome last evening at the Ameri- can college in honor of his birthday. A large number of prelates and cardinals participated.

Her latest eccentricity consists in riding in the Bois every morning astride of her horse instead of on the ordinary side-saddle. Accom- oe by acouple of her male friends she lashes along the avenues and bridle-paths at a sharp canter, creating immense stir among the early habitues of the Bois. Separated from her husband, always dressed in the most masculine of tailor-made gowns, her brown curly hair cropped close to her shapely head and a single eye-glass fixed in her saucy , Mme. de Bel- boeuf presents the most striking contrast which it is possible to conceive to her brother the duke, who, it may be remembered, figured a few years ago at some amateur theatricals in the guise of a premiere danseuse of the ballet corps.

JEWELRY AND SILVERWARE WHICH HAD NOT BEEN PAID FOR INTERCEPTED AT THE DOCK. Two cases of jewelry and silverware were seized at the Bremen steamship company’s pier in Hoboken yesterday by Kuss & Heppen- heimer, attorneys for several big crockery houses in New York. During the holidays A. M. Ebert bought from H. Strauss & Son 26,000 worth of silverware and had it aes ped to Ohio. They found that Ebert’s firm did a large business. and until they learned that he had ordered, and not paid ‘for, goods to the value of $70,000 from Charles Armfeldt & Son. J. M. Young & Co., H.

Wood-carving leads off a good share of the women of one’s acquaintance into captivity this winter. To own fine pieces is an aspira- tion, to execute them an ambition. Lately finished is a beautiful duet seat, which goes to the Crockers, of San Francisco, and a coat eabi- net designed for a niche in Mrs. Arthur Dodge's hall and meant to contain those articles of ap- narel never hung up by a family of boys. Join ‘od Hill, one of the best known of American wood carvers, is deluged with letters from women on lone islands off Florida who wish to carve to pass the time, women teaching school who would like to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows while wielding the carvers’ tools instead of the birch. society girls who carve, as they play the violin, for amusement. And it is really becoming a money-making occupation for women. A young girl who was taking her first orders for work last winter drives a horse and buggy, which she has bought with her earnings. The daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn family pocketed $30 two or three weeks since for her first modest bit of carving offered for sale. She has half adozen commissions to execute, and though she is plentifully supplied with pin money, announces her determination to see the first young woman's pony and go her bet- ter by a coachman, a carriage and a pair. A third carver sends her work to the exchanges for women’s work and gets fair prices for the graceful designs and clever execution, Beginners carv: Then proceed to picture frames, If they have nt they by and by do chairs, tables, over- els, friezes, and all manners of decorative furniture.
