BALTIMORE, Nd, March 16.-Bishop Hal
sey, in an address before the Baltimore con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal church
south, spoke in part as follows: "I want to
say that we have high regard for you,
and our colored people are look
ing to the Methodist Episcopal
church south to aid them. We look
to you and you to US, for we know you and
you know us. The colored men have an
abundance Of religion, and in fact l some
times think they may have more than the
white men, but they may be lacking in the
spirit OF true christianity. The colored
man has n claim on his white brethren.
say this delicately but emphatically, for
they were sent here by no act of their own
but through the overruling providence, and
as a result many christian colored people are
now angels in heaven. We were brought
here as slaves, and claim, therefore, that
the southern people ought to do their duty
by them.
FAITHFUL DURING THE WAR.
"When the flower of the manhood of our
sunny southland went TO fight where blood
flowed freely in the cause our white people
thought was right, then the colored men
stood by the homes of their masters, and
delved, and labored for the support OF your
by their soldier husbands and brothers.
They loved the whites then, and
faithful they were on the old plantations.
and they love aud respect you still. As
then, so still, the colored people constitute
the mud sls of southern society, and the
south viii never be able to get better
class Of laborers than they furnish, and the
whites know it. "a voice-That's SOL

tidings OF salvation TO those who live in

gard to the question of free trade or pro-

DBNBY's LEASE OF LIFE.

Harrison's Friendship All That Has
Kept Him in His Place,
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Charles Denby
of Indiana. who was appointed by
President Cleveland minister to China, is
still holding that office, although all other
democratic ministers have been replaced
with republicans. This is not because of
Mr.. Denby's democr3 tic views, but partly
because of personal relations with President
Harrison as an Indiana neighbor, and
partly because of the difficulty
In finding suitable man for
the place. The President would
have liked to crafty Morton Barker of
Philadelphia, the original Harrison man, by
either appointing Mr.. Barker or letting
him name man, but unfortunately Mr.
Barker's financial scheme in China fell
through. 1t said that the Office is now being
saved for another Indiana man.

BREAKS IN THE LEvEEs.
The Opening at Raleigh Floods a Large
Area and Lowers the River.

6AS6 hA4 AOWSIb bu6 River.
New ORLEANS, March 16--A special to
the Times Democrat from Vicksburg saws:
"A personal visit made to Raleigh, on
Pecan Grove, to-day, satisfied your CORES
pondent that reports had not exaggerated
the extent of the damage by the food. At
o'clock to-day the crevasse was LOCO feet
or more wide, and the ends were cayinp
so rapidly that it was foolhardiness TO
approach them. The levee is nearly fifteen
feet high, and an immense volume of water
was rushing through it in a stream two or
more feet deep. The extent of the crevasse
and the immense amount of water de-
livered by it may be estimated by the fact
that in the twenty-four hours ending this
evening the river has fallen three inches at
Vicksburgs and four inches at Lake Provi-
dence, though rising steadily prior to the
crevasse.
SERIOUS RESULTS.
Assistant Engineer Thompson, who ar
rived at the crevasse this evening, is quoted
as saying that no crevasse at any point
along the line of the fifth levee district
could occasion such serious results as the
one at Raleigh. The water backed up several
inches and flooded some plantations 1t will
overflow fully one-fourth of East Carroll
parish and the greater part of Tensas and

latter will escape
Advices from other Louisiana levees, and
from Mississippi, show that the Raleigh
crevasse relieved tho pressure on them. The
levee inspector, the solitary witness Of the
break at Raleigh, says seventy-five feet
caved off at once into the river.
telephone message from Fitlars, Miss,
states that the water fell eight inches ia the
past twenty-four hours.
Henry Berger, of Duval Miss, seeing
some negro houses on the Louisiana shore
floating away crossed over in a sklff, avoid
ing the crevasse by pulling his boat over
the levee and reaching the houses just in
time to save a negro who was in one of
them. A moment later the building was
swept away.
RISE AT CAIRO.
CAIRO, ILL.,, March 16-The river rose
ne-tenth of a foot during the last twenty
four hours, now marking 4s feet $40 on the
guage. This is due to the rise from the
Mississippi river. The Ohio river has fallen
six-tenths Of foot at Paducal during the
past twenty-four hours. and it is thought
that the rise here will be very little. The
weather is clear and cool.

LONDON, March 16.-Lord Randolph
Churchill, publishing his original protest
against the Parnell commission bill, says
he fails to see how this and his recent
speech can be construed as disloyalty to the
unionist party. 1t seems to him that the
charge Of disloyalty might be more
forcibly forced against those who,
in spite of every warning, forced
upon parliament measure which
by its history and results obviously dealt a
heavy blow at the cause and party of the
union. He explains that when he sent his
protest the commission bill was In embryo
and the government contemplated abandon
ing 1t, or at least withdrawing it, If it led
to q protracted debate.
