gates Fight About Seats.


Sr. LOUIS. Dec. 1.-THE interesting
feature OF last nights banquet of the
w. C.. T. l.. was the clash between the
colored and white delegates. When
trey filed out to supper the women and
men OF color took seats promiscuOusly
among their white brethren, and when
required to vacate and take seats at the
table reserved for colored delegates,
they left the hall in q body and gave
vent to their displeasure IN no uncer-
tain terms. On account OF the loud
and excited manner IN which they
talked, the doors had to be closed be-
tween the banquet hall and the vestl-
bule. The women In charge Of the
banquet urged them to return, but
they steadfastly refused to do this un-
less they were permitted to resume
their former seats. These seats had, In
the meantime, been occupied by white
people, VINO were finally requested to
remove and fnd seats in another part
of the hall. The colored delegates
threaten to withdraw from the union.

NO PAPAL INTERFERENCE.
Leo Declines to Act in Settling the Pur
cell Estate.

CINcrSNArr. O., Dec. 1l.-Three hun
dred creditors of the Archbishop Pur-
cell estate held stormy meeting this
afternoon. A letter was read from the
Pope, in response to one written to his
holiness some months ago, asking that
aid from Rome be extended in secur-
ing an early settlement with the credi-
tors of the 81. .000, 900 Indebtedness that
has stood for twelve years. The Pope's
letter stated that inasmuch as the local
church authorities, including Arch
bishop Elder, had aided all the powers
to secure . settlement of tho debt, it
had been deemed unwise for Rome to
interfere. Following the reading Of
this letter were several fiery speeches.
1t Was finally decided to eend another
letter to the Pope. atating that Arch.
bishup Elder bad done nothing looking
toward = settlement, but, on the con-
trary, all his actions in the matter had
been adverse to the credit RS. the
Pope will be again appealed to for Aid.

The "Euture" Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The house agri-
cultural committee Saturday continued the
hearing on futures in grain, and Mr.
Aldrich, of Chicago, gave some more in
formation. one point he made being that
before short seller can realize he has to
buy. y. !. Sawyer, another man who had
previously addressed the committee, said
that the farmer always got cash for his
wheat, and that the reason wheat was
higher twenty five years ago was owing to
fluctuations in the value of gold. II. Mat
tullah, editor of the st. Paul States, de-
clared that short selling was the trouble
and presented bill that wasn't bit
short which he declared would make
matters about right. Chairman Hatch
discredited some figures made by Statisti-
clan Dodge, of the agricultural depart
ment on the ground that once he Dodge
had made a mistake in the tobacco report
Funston remarked that if Hatch was GO
ing to impeach Dodge he had better give
him hearing, to which Hatch replied that
he would be happy To do so.
