This would really be a big thing. and as much display would be made over her re- turn there as was done on her arrival in this country and later in Chicago. “Now that the fair is almost over, and the people of Chicago realize that there is no chance of her staying there, the Nor- wegians have again taken up the matter of the subscription, and already several thous- and dollars have been raised on condition that she shall remain in Washington, where she would be an interesting object to all Americans. If I do take her back to Nor- way I shall stay in this country this win ter and take her back next spring, for while I am sure she could make the trip even in stormy weather, there is no reason why we should run the risk, especially as there are no accomodations on board to keep the men comfortable in cold weather. An Exact Reprodaction. “Is the Viking a precise reproduction of the model that was recently unearthed in Norway?” asked The Star man. “Yes, an exact reproduction in every way. She is 78 feet long, 16 feet wide and 5 feet Il inches deep, not counting a 16-inch keel. ‘This is by Norwegian measurement. Thirty- five inches by our measurement make about thirty-six of yours and this would make the Viking in the neighborhood of % feet long. “What are your plans for the future, cap- “Well, I shall leave here late tonight or tomorrow morning for Indianapolis, where I am to lecture on Wednesday evening. About the Ist of November the Viking will leave Chicago and start on her way around to the eastern coast. We shall go down the Mississippi to the gulf and so on around to this part of the country. In this way we shall avoid the ice and all excessive cold. We will probably reach this city some time in the month of March. Already we have Deen invited to stop at many places along the line of travel, and it is evident that our trip will be in the nature of a gala occasion for all of us.” At the conclusion of this talk Capt. Andersen and The Star man went to the banking house of C. J. Bell & Co., where the captain met Mr. Gardiner Hubbard, the president of the National Geographical Society. Later Mr. W. E. Curtis came in with Lieut. Little of the navy, the man who had charge of the building of the Spanish caravels, and there was a pleasant meeting between the man who had built a ship like the one in which Leif Erikson is said to have come to this country, and the man who built the three ships like the ones used by Columbus. Au Interview With the President. At 12:30 Capt. Andersen, In company with Mr. Hubbard, called at the White House and had quite a lengthy Interview, by ap- pointment with the President. Later it was ther plan to call upon the Secretary of the Navy. At o'clock Mr. Hubbard enter- & tained the hardy Norseman and a few other | guests at a handsome luncheon at the Metro- politan Club. Capt. Andersen expressed the desire to look in upon the Senate and he} will probably be given the Mberties of the press gallery later this afternoon. It may interest a good many people and at the same time go far toward settling a vexed question to state that Capt. Andersen pronounces the name of his ship as though it were spelled Wicking. ee CAPITOL TOPICS. To Prevent Frauds.

Bettina Girard aing for Divorce From Harrtson J. Wolfe. NEW YORK.Oct. %3.—The Evening World prints the following: Miss Bettina Girard. who was formerly the wife of the millionaire Padelford, and who, three years ago, married the comic opera singer, John Raffael, is now suing for a divorce from Harrison J. Wolfe. a good-looking young leading man to whom she was wedded by Judge Lockwood in Jersey City, September 18. ‘This is the first time that news of the marriage has leaked out, as Miss Girard, Who appears tonight at the Academy of Music, was anxious to keep it quiet. The story is a melancholy one. It was told to the writer yesterday by young Wolfe. Said he: “My first meeting with Miss Girard was en August 14, at the rooms of the Vaude- ville club, which had been engaged by Messrs. Litt and Davis for the rehearsals of their new play “In Old Kentucky.” I was engaged to create the leading male role in the piece, Miss Girard for the leading female role. “I knew of the woman's rather sensa- tional past—a past that she does not deny. During rehearsals, I showed her only a gentlemanly courtesy, as I considered her s rous woman, and tried to avoid er. “This seemed to rattle her vain ppirit, and ehe laid herself out to fascinate me. She affected the repentant woman, desirous of ending her worldly life. 1 am not a_par- ticularly model feliow myself and told her so. The upshot of it all was that we agreed to get married after our engagement in Basten. told me that this delay was neces- Sary, as to marry me she had to break an engagement with another—an actor in Nat Goodwin's company. Then she told me that she had cried quits with this actor, and asked me if I was ready to fulfill our agreement of marriage. I said I was, so we went to Jersey City and were married by Judge Lockwood. “For a few days she was a most congenial Mttle wife, but very soon she began to re- ceive appalling letters. She got one frum @ man who threatened to end his life in the East river if she would not grant him a word. She met him, although [ told her that if she did so it would sever our con- nection as husband and wife. I did not sez her again, as I went to my rooms in West 26th street. “I told her that I wanted a divorce and stated that in order not to reflect upon her I would allow her to prefer any fictitions charges she desired against me. The di- yorce proceedings are now on, but I shall make no reply to them.” > Burial Permits.

Ohfie Demeerats Are Showing More Enthusiasm in Their Campaign. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 23.—The demo- crats are showing more enthusiasm in the campaign work than early in the contest, but rarely are they found hopeful. The gen- eral opinion among the politicians of the party who will express themselves freely is that it would be as much of a victory as the party could expect this year to hold the plurality of Gov. McKinley down to the usual figure. The coming of Gov. Campbell to Ohio to take part in the campaign, and the an- mouncement that nearly all the democrats in the Ohio delegation in Congress, includ- ing Senator Brice, will be at work on the stump here the last week of the campaign, seems to have revived the drooping spirits of the party. Mr. Neal's meeting at Youngstown last week was a large and enthusiastic one, much more so than the usual democratic meeting this year. It is significant, for the reason that Youngstown is one of the strongest labor union towns in the state. No other municipality, large or small, nas so large a proportion of laboring people among its citizens. A remazkable change of feeling among the democrats here toward Senator Hill of New York, in consequence of his attitude last week toward the free silver obstruc- tonists, is noticeable. The democratic press and leaders warmly commend him. A number of personal letters of congratu- lation have gone to the Senator from hitherto snti-Hill democrats. Attempts have been made in all the large cities of the state to hold mass meetings of baw henry rede with more or less npn: e old parties have charged that this has been done by E. J. Bracken, the people's party candidate for governor, who turns each meeting of the kind into a peo- ple’s party meeting and proceeds to address those who attend in a pure political speech. Thus he secures a very desirable audience and one that is from the start in hearty sympathy with the orator. The industrial depression and hard times, used in this way, are pretty sure to largely increase the vote of the peoples’ party this year, and offers to bet that Gov. McKinley will not have a majority (as distinguished from a plurality) are freely made, with no takers without odds. The peoples’ party will probably poll 30,000 votes and the pro- hibitionists may be relied upon to cast 15,- 000 votes for their ticket; so that to have a clear majority over all Gov. McKinley must get at least 45,000 more votes than Mr. Neal does. It is not at all likely that his plu- rality will be so great. The charge that Chairman Dick wrote a letter to the Aultman Taylor Manufacturing Company at Massillon, asking them to keep their shops shut down until after election for the sake of the effect that would have on the voters does not find credence, even among the democrats. It is too improbable. If Mr. Dick wished to make any such sug- gestion to republican manufacturers he = hardly have done so by written let- er. Both committees are at work making polls of the state. Estimates of the probable result, based upon these polis, will be given out the last week of the campaign. -Gov. Hoadly, who was here last week to attend a meeting of the stockholders of the Columbus, Shawnee and Hocking Rail- way Company, declined to talk politics to ne’ reporters, but to an old friend said he had little hope of his party suc- ceeding in Ohio this year. While here some one showed a report in @ newspaper of a democratic meeting at Zaneaville, addressed by L. T. Neal. The er was introduced by ex-State Senator John O'Neal, who said that for the first time in twenty years the Ohio democrats had a candidate for governor who was a democrat. This was an indi- rect cut at both Hoadly and Campbell, as they were republicans until after the close of the civil war. Gov. Hoadly iied and said: “If that is the way they are campagning we will be Ucked out of our boots.” Then he took his pencil and marked down some figures, which he said would be the size of the republican plurality. It is said that it looked like 30,000, ae REDMOND ADVISES DELAY.

TO SOUTH AMERICA A Plan to Deport the Negroes From : the United States. A SYSTEMATIC PLAN. Engineered by Colored People Who Favor the Scheme. DETAILS FROM KANSAS. Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., October 20, 1893. In 18% fifty prominent negroes of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and other states met in Topeka and organized the “Central and South American Immigration Association and Equal Rights League of the Western Continent,” the object being to organize the colored people of the United states into co!onies and send them to South or Central America, there to found a new empire, build new homes and in time solve the race problem in this country by simply allowing the Anglo-Saxon to have full and unlimited sway. When this scheme was first advanced it was talked about all over the country, and discussed pro and con in the newspapers, several prominent statesmen, notably John J. Ingal’s, taking a hand. But finally in- terest waned and effort ceased, until recently, when the association devel- oped an entirely new plan, and an- nounced that active efforts would soon be made toward the deportation of negroes to South America by the various states, and that influential negroes would be sent into the lecture field to explain fully the plan of operation. The Head of the Movement. Col. John M. Brown, the negro county clerk of Shawnee qounty, Kan., is president of the association, and S. W. Wine of Kan- sas City secretary. Brown is one of the abiest colored men in the west, and has been a prominent candidate for state aud- itor. In political campaigns he renders val~ uable service on the stump for the republi- cans, and is recognized by the opposition as @ forcible and convincing speaker. He came to Kansas twelve years ago at the head of an exodus from Mississippi, where he held @ county office. He lived im the black beit, and the overwhelming negro majority made it possibie for him to secure a political po- sition. He is thoroughly conversant with the negro problem in the south, and after tweive years of study and investigation he believes his plan the only one that will ever bring peace and happiness to his race. It will, he says, solve the vexing problem in the south, and at the same time deport these people to a country where there are no social distinctions, but where with the Latin races they would become cemented and a part of the whole. When Col. Brown first launched his col- onization scheme on the public he was met with strong opposition from ‘eading colored men all over the country. They did not be- lieve it practical, and declared that a wholesale emigration of negroes would tend to fasten upon them a greater servi- tude than that complained of on the cotton and suger plantations of the south. Th the negroes were unacquainted with the social conditions existing in the South American countries; but since Col. Brown and his co-workers have, through printed matter and from the lecture platform, re- moved the prejudice which first existed, a wonderful change has taken place, and he is constantly receiving ‘etters inquiring about the movement. Several years ago he laid his plans in detail before ex-Senator John J. Ingalls. That gentleman scouted the idea of colonizing the negroes in South America, and advanced the opinion that his plan of sending them back to Africa, their natural home, was the only feasible one by which the race question would ever be elim- inated from society and politics in this country. Col. Brown, however, caused In- ga'ls to weaken on his proposition when he showed him the disadvantages of the Africa scheme. He pointed out the fact that it would cost at least $100 a head to transport the negroes to that country, and that the great vessels necessary in the shipment of them across the ocean would, of necessity, have to come back empty, for the reason that this country receives nothing from Africa in the way of staple products. On phe,pther hand, to land them on the eastern Shore of South America it would not cost over $15 a head, and on the return trips su- gar, coffee and other South American pro- ducts could be transported at a nominal cost. a new plan. Each state of the Union will be requested to organize a society for the purpose of pushing the scheme. Each state will be required to raise a fund sufficient to send from twenty-five to 100 families to South America as an experiment. and to provide for their wants for several years in case they are unable to secure homes and make their own way. When these societies are formed among the negroes of the vari- ous states during the coming winter a board of directors will be chosen by eac! state association, Later, all these boards will come together and select a national board to go to Brazil, Bolivia, Argentine Re- public and other South American countries and arrange with the government offering the best advantages for either the purchase or lease of lands for the American colonies. Each state board will have charge of the deportation from that state, and in order that the plan may be favorably received by the Afro-Ame-icans and finall accepted by them as the best and surest way to solve the race problem, only industrious, intelli- gent and thrifty negroes will be taken in the first shipment. If they have sufficient money to make the trip, they will be ex- pecied to pay their passage; if they have not the necessary means the society of the state from which they go will pay the ex- penses. None of the indolent and shiftless Glasses will be allowed in the first install- ment. The success or failure of the move- ment depends upon the class of people who first go to the new country, and the leaders will see to it that a good report comes back to stimulate others. Each State Soctety a #tock Company. It is proposed to make every state society a stock company and solicit from Afro- Americans sums of from $10 to $50, which will go into a common fund for advancing the movement. One of the plans on foot is to build several large vessels to ply between New Orleans and points on the eastern coast of South America to be paid for out of this fund. If a head of a family wishes to aid the enterprise and at some future time desires to cast his lot with his brethren in the new Eldorado, his subscription will be received, placed to his c>edit and when he is ready to go the amount will be ap- plied on the passage of himself and family to his new home. These vessels, Col. Brown thinks, would be a profitable invest- ment for the association,because they would bring in a good revenue for carrying to the United States on their return trips the products of South America,which this coun- try must have. Thus, while the deportation of the negroes from the United States to the new southern home was going on, the asso- ciation would reap a rich harvest in bzing- ing back to this market the products of South American countries. Col. Brown says negroes can be trans- ported from points between New Orleans and St. Louis for about $15 a head. He be- | Heves that after the first settlement is made | and the plan is proven a success, as he confidently believes it will be, that the as- sociation will not be able to take all who will want to go. He seys there is ten times more vacant land in Brazil alone than all the negroes in the United States could prop- erly cultivate. He has received letters from that government recently, saying that all the negroes who Will may come an/] be as- sured of protection, homes and a compe- tency. He also has letters from the Argen- time Republic and Bolivia, offering very flattering inducements. He ts favorable to Brazil, and if the present troubles do not disturb his plans, will undoubtedly favor negotiations with that government. The climatic conditions are favorable, and there is plenty of land at very low prices. Speak- ing of the social question as it relates to that country, he said: ‘There the color line is obliterated and we would stand upon the same footing with the natives. Here we never can hope to enjoy that privilege.” Effect of the First Deportation. He believes the first deportation of ne- groes for the new Eldorado would create great excitement among their brethren in the south, and that thousands would want to join the procession. On this line he said: “Let a boatload of negroes, bound for the new country, leave St. Louis singing their old ‘plantation songs as they floated down the Mississippi, and it would be almost im- possible to hold the multitudes that culti- vate and pick the cotton from the >lanta- tions its banks. They would want to join the because they would see be- neath the lowering clouds that have shut out the light of freedom and independence, a silver lining, and they would feel that a brighter era was dawning. They would re- alise that there was in store for them in their new home something better than a Mfe of drudgery and ceaseless toil, from which they are barely able to live. And this is not all,” remarked President Drown. “For the first time in the history of this country the old ex-slave drivers and plan- tation magnates of the south would feel the sands slipping from under them. The cheap labor from which they have been able to amass fortunes would depart for a southern clime in another country, and their plan- tations would grow up in weeis. The Win- chester rifle and shot gun, poteat factors in southern elections, would rust in their racks and the race problem would be set- tled, and settled forever, in this country. The public domain is exhausted and the restless young men crowding west would turn to the deserted fields of the new south, where plantations would be divided and subdivided, until the Yankee had a voice in the politics of that section. All we ask is that Senators Ingalls and other statesmen who believe themselves burdened with the responsibility of settling the race probiem will allow us to carve out our own destiny. We believe the South American emigration plan will solve the n2gro probler: in tis country, and ff it does these statesmen, who have been so solicitous about our welfare, ought to be satisfied.” —_—>—___ KNIGHTS OF JERUSALEM.

THEIR PROPOSED UNION THE CAUSE. Awaiting With Confidence News From Washington. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. ae Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Initial prices this morning were somewhat discouraging and reflected the anxiety felt by the street as to the fate of the senatorial compromise, even should the measure pass that body. The administration's attitude was known to be hostile to anything short of unconditional repeal and doubts were entertained of its ever becoming a law. This sentiment, however, was soon dis- placed by.a more hopeful one and prices responded smartly to the increased demand for stocks. Saturday’s good bank statement may have helped to produce the change, but from whatever source it came, traders on the long side profited by its existence. At the beginning of the second hour prices were moving upward with surprising steadincas, and buying orders were in good supply at the advance. The market had an old-time air, and seemed full of promise. Rumors of the transfer of a big block of Lackawanna to prominent raflroad in- this move. Lackawanna advanced to 171 1-2, a net gain of 10 1-2 per cent, and Jersey Central gained 8 per cent to The advance in these securities pace-maker for the rest of responded promptly for subs! more to 6; St. Paul gained 11-8 and Western Union gained 13-8 to As was expected the earnings of North- west, which were announced today, show increase over corresponding last yegr of $117,240.

Then, too, the increased | earnings of railroads jout the coun- try, and especially those in the west, are an important factor at this time and one which in the anxiety over silver was tem- Porartly neglected. From now on, however, the usual of earnings, Pear to be but one side to the market, ‘and that the long side, it would only be natural to see a reaction that would reduce today’s gains 4 or 5 per cent. Such an event is always due and the advance itself is the only warning given. The last hour developed nothing of im- portance. Prices shaded off from the best and a noticeable decrease in the routine of business was . The general character of the market, however, was un- changed and closed with subst gains all along the line. —— The London Market. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.
