DOUGLASS EULOGIZES THE NEGRO
And His Phenomenal Improvement in
Generation—Praise for Haitians.
BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 10.—Frederick
Douglass, United States minister to the
island of Hayti, was an attendant at the
colored camp in Wayman's grove, and
delivered an address to a small but eh
thusiatic audience. 'He said: "There
was a time when we could not assemble
as we do to-day to debate and contem
plate the relation existing between us
and our citizens generally.
A Great Change Has Taken Place
among the colored race, vast and won
derful has it been. We are living among
scenes that remind us of anew earth.
The time has come when we can look
our fellow citizens in the face and share
in the glory of the country. We who
came through toil and suffering know
this."
Speaking of Hayti, Mr. Douglass said
he was somewhat tonuge-tied, be
cause he was still in office and was go
ing back. In reference to the negro
question, he said that 100 years ago
Hayti was surrounded by slavery, and
the Carribean sea reddened by the
curse. The negro was a slave every
where and under every nation in the
islands of the West Indies. But they
Had the Manhood to Rise
and drive out the men who tyranized
them. These degraded, stupid negroes
were not only able to assert their liberty,
but to organize a government which
they have carried on for eighty-seven
years. They have sent their ministers
to all Christian lands, and Hayti has
never been known to break a treaty.

EAPOLis. Sept. 10.—An Evening
1 Rapid City special Bays': Indian
Wright, of the Rosebud agency,
Whtifyas in the city Friday submitted
to an interview in the Journal relative
to great falling off in the census of
Indians upon his agency and the appar
ent discrepancy between the number of
Indians actually upon the reservation
anduthe number of rations issued. Agent
Wright took charge, of the Rosebud,
agency Sept. 30, 1889, and continued to
rations upon the rolls received at
that* time. He received orders at the
close of the fiscal year of 1889 to take
an ^numeration of the Indians. This
wasEdone, by the assistance of employes
of the agency, upon the 7th and 8th cf
Jul®, the result showing 2,000 less In
dians than were supposed to have been
receiving rations, Be does not assume
to account for' the large discrepancy,
beyond stating, that many have died and
others gone south to .the Indian Terri
tory. Mr. Wright also, mentions the
fact) that many heads pf families have

repels the suggestion! that the rations
excess of the number of' Indians have,
been,' Sold and appropriated' .for thfe
agent's 'private benefit. Other parties
here who are familiar witfr the methods
of ^distributing rations say that the
chief cause of the discrepancy lies in the
practice referred to by Agent Wright—
that' of drawing extra rations. Red
Cloty&iis cited as an instance. He ia said
to d&w ten rations regularly at Pine
Riqgei agency, while his family consists
of pit three persons. The' 'practice is
said to prevail quite generally, though
whether .with the knowledge or.consqqt
nt agent is not stated.
POTATOES TO SELL.
A Bigger Crop In the Northwest Than
Has Been Anticipated.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10.—The potato
crop is turning out quite well in the
Northwest, says the Minneapolis Market
Record. This crop, owing to cheapness
in most years, has gone into wasteful
consumption. The greater part of the
country in the Northwest, in recent re
ports, showed that very little attention
is usually paid to raising potatoes for
sale. Whenever there is a short supply,
however, that brings up the iprice to an
attractive figure, people are surprised by
the amount of potatoes raised above
home wants. When $1 a bushel was
talked of, the whole of this part of the
country discovered all at once that there
were but few potatoes in a hill and
small ones at that. In some sections
that is true. But since the high prices
begin to bring them out the groweis
themselves are astonished that the pro
duction is so large. Finally, they came
to market so freely that the price has
gone down below expectations.
WRECKING TRAINS COLLIDE.
Serious Triple Accident on the Blaelc
Hills and Fort Pierre Komi.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Sept. 10.—The pas
senger train over the Black Hills and
Fort Pierre railroad ran into a lot of
rocks which had fallen on the track from
an overhanging cliff, about ten miles
this side of Piedmont, derailing the en
gine and shaking up the passengers gen
erally. A telephone message was sent
by one of the road's officials for a wreck
ing train, and another hurried off to
dispatch alone engine for the same pur
pose. The result was a collision and
complete wreck of both engines, and
the injury of some fifteen or twenty of
the wreckers to the extent of broken
legs, arms, bruised heads and bodies,
but nothing more serious. This road is
a narrow gauge, operated between Lead
City and Piedmont by the Homestake
Mining company, and had just been
opened to the public.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 10.—The attorney

court against the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway for forfeiture of its char

contrary to law, has consolidated with
the West Line, Red River, Trinity,
Dallas aud Greenville and other roads,
and that they have illegally issued bonds P^s- Woodwarr^

ago leaving
a
meh and
York Central at tf p. m. The train was
stopped by a danger signal south of Old
Troy, which is 500 yards south of the
New Hamburg drawbridge. Two min
utes previous the flagman had discov
ered several ties standing endwise in the
culvert near Old Troy, and when he
took hold hold of one of them to remove
it he was fired upon from the bushes on
theeast side of the track. Knowing
the fast express was nearly due he ran
southward and set the danger signal,
which stopped the train.
A Trainman's Story.
A railroad employe who was on the
train says that two men out rowing on
the river near that point saw some men
busy on the tracks, and when they dis
appeared they crawled quietly up. They
found a steel rail wedged in the cattle
guard in the same way as at Albany,
and braced up in the same way by
pieces of flange iron. With all their
strength they could not move it, and
started down the track to warn the
Chicago limited express. They met a
trackman, and he, swinging his red lan
tern, started to stop the train. In an
instant several shots rang out, and one
took eli'ect in the trackman's shoulder.
However, the train was stopped about
100 yards south of the obstruction.
