They had very little room and very little to eat, and there was hardPy any money left in the party, but the buoyant na ture of the negro was dominant. Rev. Mr. Hawes, the leader of the party, and his brother spent the greater part of the day looking for quarters in Jersey City and applying to negro churches for help. It was said that a couple of houses would probably be se cured and that the would-be emigrants would settle in them for the present. No one in the party seemed to have any clear idea as to where or what Liberia, is. They all seemed perfectly satisfied to settle in Jersey City, and the only idea they they had beyond the demand for bodily necessities 'was that they were not going 'back to Oklahoma under any circumstances.

Baltiimiore, Mfcireh 23. Bishop Alphe us W. Wilson, of the Southern Metho dist church, has just returned to his home in this city from an extended visit to the Orient. He spent more than six month's in China and Japan, Visiting the mission stations of bis cburch. The Bishop reached San Francises from Kobl, Japan, stopping at Hono lulu, Sand!wich Islands, en voyage, on Friday last, and began at once the last stage of his journey toward h'o'm'e. Be yond fatigue incident to prolonged travel, the Bishop is enjoying the best of health, and boasts a ruddy, sun burned complexion as a result of his long pilgrimage. During his long and prominent career as a clergyman and bishop in his de nomination Bishop Wilson has made four simitar tours of Eastern mission fields, the last one four years ago. From every center of missionary ac tivity, as compared with the extent and success of the work at that timcj ,the Btsh'op brings enthusiastic tidings or remarkablo increase. He will report to t'he board of foreign missions of his church at the ap-pioaching session of that body, to be held in Nasbville, Tenn., on Mcy 1. Bishop WilsKn left Baltimore on June 30 last, arid in eay stages journeyed westward over the Canadian Pacific Railroad, arriving at Vancouver, Brft- sb. Columbia, from which point he took steamer on July 11 last. Yoko hama was 'reached, and a day later Kobi, nsow Japan's forwnest point city, and the headquarters of the Japanese missionary work of the Methodist Epis copal Church, South. WHlh Kobi as a center. Bishop Wilson visited all of the points of missionary enterprise. "I was impressed at once," said the Bishop last night, "with the marked change in the attitude of the people these in official positions and the mass e to America, to Americans, and to American missionaries particularly. Dewey's wonderful feat in the Philip pines has completely changed t'he as pect of affairs. America is respected for Dewey's sake, and Americans are respected and cultivated as a result of this new appreciation of our country. Dewey startled the iTast, and produced a revolution in its thougbt toward America, which has noit yet developed the proportions it is to obtain when the East learns how firmiy the flag has been placed in the Pacific." A VISIT TO KOREA. From Japan the Bi'shop journey.ed to Koreaand from Seoul, its capital, con tinued his misswnary investigationc in this beautiful, unfortunate land. Of the changes in the governmental status of Korea siince the Chinese-Japanese war, which abolisihed Chinese suzjain. ty and placed the country on an inde pendent basis, the bishop said: "Korea is today no better off than during the days cf Chinese control. Indeed, this beauxiful land boasts a. government as bad as a government can well become. The king is a weak, vaccilating man, swayed by every momentary impulse, unitil no dependence can be placed in him. With a hrm, just lorm or govern ment and the protection of some wor thy power, there would be hope for Ko rea, but in its presertt plight tfhere Is no telling the outcome. Conditions to day are excessively painful and uncer tain. The people are robbed and op pressed, the government weak and un stable. Korea is one of the very few countries where the people prefer to be poor. Once a man is suspected of hav ing means, persecution begins. He is arrested and held under false accusa tion. His property is dissipated through enitailed neglect, and what money he may have had sooner or later jingles in other pockets. There is, therefore, nothing to be gained by prosperity, and noi'oody strives for it. Despite many unpropitious Circumstances, mission work flouris'hes In this land. The peo ple are hispi'table and frank, and th'oroughly accessible to the missiona ries. , Korea, like few Eastern coun tries, has no native religion. Buddhism at one time flourished, but has been prohibited in the cities, and is con fined to a few monasteries among in land mountains. The nearest approach to a religion is &o called "Devil Wor ship," a system bf sorceries and witch craft, by whioh'-devils," as manifested particularly in dSsease, are driven -out I HEM and away by "Devil priests." Our med ical missionary work Is doing much to upset tihks b4t of fanaticism, and, in deed, tlx? medical work of our -mission satiations tn all lands Uras become indispensable tto success."' THENCE TO CHINA, Bishop Wilson journeyed from Korea i to China, first to Shanghai, and thence to So Chow, from wCaich point he vis ited the more Important interior mis sion statiiiorts. "In China again I was impressed-by the change in the thoug'ht and attitude of the people toward America and Americans, which was most noticeable as compared with my last visit four years ago. Then our efforts were confined to tlhe poorest classes. Today all classes welcome missionary workers, and Chinese mis sions, as a result, are making vaet gt rides. "Much of the change is due to the recertt war, thougth other influences, to gether with patient, faithful effort, have conititlouted a share. In China, for instance, the wair influence was not great away from the coast, for the people knew nothing and card nothing about it. Qne-half of ChJina does not know that a Chinese-Japanese war oc curred, not to spelak of our ipt'tle diffi culty. A vast quantity of literature on foreign lands and Chinese trade re lations and possibilities has circulated in all parts of China of recent years, and th-is has had a great effect1 so marked that it may readily be prophe sied that the day is coming when China will, as a result of internal revolution in ahougrnit and attitude towards for eign subjects, demolish, her wall, for sake her notion that she alone is a God's country worthy of the title Ce lestial, and will figureamong the en lightened, enterprising nations of the world." . . SIM HEGROES LYNCHED II OKI What Came of an Antici pated Race Conflict. Sequel to a Lynching Last Week Twenty-three Others Reported Lynched Negroes Fleeing In Ter ror. Texaikana, Mardh -23. It 1 reported that seven negroes "have "been lynched by citizens of Little -River county. The victims are Edward Goodwin, ien Jones, Adam King, Moses Jones, Joe Jones and two unknown. The three Joneses were btro'thersVand were friends of "General" Duckett, the negro wfro was lynched last Wednesdey for the murder of James Stock-ten, a wealthy planter of Little Jliver county. Since the lynching of Duckett The blacks had planned a race war. A negro let the matter out, which greutly enraged the whites. Another negro named Joe King remarked that Stockton should have been murdered sooner. He was taken to the woods and whipped, as was also John Johnston. Other negroes made threats, but nothing occuned un til yesterday, when the bodies were foiund hanging to trees just across Red river from the Stocklton farm i:i Bowie county, Texas. The place where the trouble occurred is many r.dles from any town, and it is very hard to obtain details. A Jus tice of t'he peace went to where Good win was hanged from Nw Boston, Texas. Advices from the-ie tonight are to t.ie effect that ruimtors are current t'hiX twenty-three ot'her negroes who threatened a race war had been lynch ed. Negroes are fleeing irm ine c.s- trict. Tod'ay three wagons iuu arrivra it Texarkana, having crostvl Red riv- pr U t Index a: micrnigm last aignu They were greatly frightened. Som month '3 ago the two races came togeth er at AUene at a sawmill, and a rion. followed. Colored people have been very troublesome of late, 'and Stock ton's murder started the lynchings. What seems to have caused t'he trou ble -was that a deputy went to Joe King's hoarse and told of Sifockton's murder, and King said: "Duckett came here and told it and said: I killed one man, and if you niggers will follow me we'll kill more.' " A Triple Affair In Louisiana. New Orleans, La., March 23. Minor Wilson, Willis Boyd and a man named Reed ware arrested two weeks ago near Midnight, Sharkey county, for firing on a party of white men. An attempt was made at the time to lyncth them, but officers got them safely to jail.

The department will not say positively that the Raleigh will be ordered to New York. It is preferred to wait until an examination is mude of the vessel after her arrival ait Hampton lioaas to determine whether or not S.-;a trip is advisable before necessary uepairs have been made. It is 'hardly probable, however, that the ship will be In such a condition that the short voyage will be unsafe. and after an examination, orders to sail for New York will likely be is sued. This is rendered miore probable ioy the over-crowded condition of the Norfolk Navy Yard, making it neces cary to send her further north for re pairs. As the burning of the machine sfliops at the Brocklyn Navy Yard hinders work of repairing there, fhe RaleiRh will prCbably be sent to the Portsmouth (N. H.) yard for overhaul ing, and it would be an easy matter to stop at New York on the way to the New Hampshire yard. DATE OF DOLLAR BANQUET. It Will Be April Id and Bryan Will Be There.
