THE CoLoRED CONTENTION.
Differences at the Democratic Indianapo-

Differences at the Democratic Indianapo-
lis Gathering Healed.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 26.-The negro Demos
cratic conference was called to order this
morning, with all the differences apparently
healed. Elder McDaniels, of Illinois, was
called upon to offer prayer. He insisted
that the delegates should first join him in a
hymn. Upon objection being made, he said
if they wouldn't sing he wouldn't pray. The
Rev. Mr.. Mitchell. of Michigan, then offered
q prayer.
Chairman Clark opened the proceedings
with scholarly address, giving his reasons
why the negro should become a Democrat.
He said the Republicans declare in favor OF
a free ballot and fair count, but know
full well that the evil of which they com.
plain is one that cannot be con-
trollsd by federal action. Decisions OF the
Supreme Court have repeatedly shown that
fact. One wonder is why the Republicans
do not follow the path SO plainly pointed
ont by the events OF the past twenty years,
and why they do not resort to State
action, and to State agitation for the es-
tablishment OF any rights that are now
denied them. The policy OF denunciation

The Injunction Against the Iowa Rail-

The Injunction Against the Iowa Rail-
road Commission Continued.
LEAvENwoRrH, July 26.-Three weeks
ago the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road applied to Federal Judge Brewer for
an injunction to restrain the Railroad
Commissioner OF Iowa from putting in
force their new low schedules rates, on the
ground that they would bankrupt the
road, and furthermore that their legisla-
ture cannot delegate its power of making
schedule OF rates to a commission.
The temporary Injunction was granted
at a hearing had to-day, at the conclusion
OF which Judge Brewer made decision
which continues the temporary injunction.
He thinks the State may delegate the
power of making rate schedule to COM
mission, but maintains that while the
State had II right to fix railroad rates, it
must make them reasonable, that is,
high enough to maintain the road, pay
fixed charges, and make a return to the
stockholders, however small.
The question not yet being settled that
the rate of the commissioners is reasona-
BILE, the Injunction is continued for d fur
ther hearing on that point. 1t is expected
so days will at least be required to furnish
such testimony.

ITALI4N IMNIGRATION 4BUSES.
How Inhabitants Of the Sunny Land are
Brought Here and Then Enslayed.

New YORK, July 26.-Attillio Monaco,
the Italian Vice Consul, was the principal
witness before the Congressional Immi-
grafton Investigating Committee to-day.
Signor Monaco explained how Italian
em1gral.ts, when they arrived here, were
entirely at the mercy OF the contractors
who, as a rule, kept saloons on Mulberry
street. They would put the men to work
and all money for their labor is paid di-
rect to the contractor who would hold it
until they get their passage money and ex.
horbitant interest back, and often would
get another months pay from them and
then let them 60 without giving them any
money. This is not so bad now as it was
three years ago, owing to the eA orcement
of the contract labor law. He said that,
as rule, the contractors kept, back OF a
saloon, labor bureau and ticket office all
in one.
Commissioner Morrow questioned him
about how the Italians working on the
great New York aqueduct were employed.
He said that they were employed through
the contI actor bankers here.

Foul Play Suspected.

Found Unconscious Yesterday in Hotel
Foul Play Suspected.
CHICAGO, July 26.-Robert Henderson, OF
Silver City, Idaho, said to be a millionaire,
was iound this morning in room at alittle
hotel called the Ogden house. unconscious
and barely alive. The gas in the room had
been blown out, instead Of turned off. 1t
was at first thought that Henderson had
climbed on d chair and extinguished the
light in primitive way, absent-mindedly,
or because he was intoxicated.
The fact, however, that a man OF so much
wealth as Henderson was represented to
be, should put up at comparatively in
ferior out-of-the.way place, created sus-
picion. Then it was stated that Header
son was himself proprietor of large, wei
appointed hotel and would be extremely
unlikely to unthinkingly blow out the gas.
Theories OF foul play and attempted sui
eide were evolved.
Henderson remained in a comatose state
for hours, notwithstanding the efforts OF
physicians, and nothing could be learned
from him. The doctors were unable to say
whether or not he would recover.

Food makes Blood and Blood makes
Beauty. Improper digestion of food neces-
sarily produces bad blood, resulting in a
feeling OF fullness in the stomach, acidity'
heartburn. sick ck-headache, and other dys-
peptic symptoms. A closely confined life
causes Indigestion, constipation, bilious
ness and loss OF appetite. TO remove these
troubles there is no remedy equal to Prickly

to be specific.
