mlttee on the state of the church brought
in report calling upon government and
state officials, the Methodist Episcopal

outrages that are put on the colored race
and all white people who love to work for
the elevation of the colored race
In the southern states" The resolution
recites that the colored people are
treated shamefully on railroad trains and
In every way. They were shot down, it
was said, like dogs and the law of the land
was trampled upon by people who despised
the colored race The resolution was the
signal for tremendous cheering. DR.. Queal,
DR.. Payne and others made vehement
speeches, calling upon the Methodist church
to stand firmly for the rights Of the colored
race. DR.. Miley advised the conference to
be moderate in the language employed.
I'VE are not perfect ourselves, brethren, ex-
cept in words" said DR.. Miley. The report

North Carolina Leaders Denounced for
Their Work.
RALEIGH, N. c., May 1.-THE confer
ence Of alliancemen called by President
Marion Butler to meet here to-day in ad-
vance Of the democratic state convention
tomorrow, convened at 10 o'clock this
morning. 1t is rumored that there were
some stormy scenes in the conference, and
that man named Laughiughouse from
Beaufort county made a speech denounc-
ing some of the alliance leaders and the at
tempts 20 disorganize the Democratic party.
AS result the conference was forced to
adjourn till O'Clock tonight.
A large number of delegates are here to
attend the democratic state convention to-
morrow. The delegates pay no attention
to national matters and presidential pref
erences are lost sight OF in more absorbing
state affairs. Buffers secret alliance con-
ference is the central topic. Its announced
purpose was to force the state convention
To adopt the st. Louis platform. No action
has been taken as yet. Many of its men,
bers are very conservative. 1t is impossible
to forecast the action of the convention to-
morrow. Gov. Holt is warmly pressed by
his supporters for denomination, but the op-
position of the alliance has caused many
delegates otherwise for him to question the
expediency of running him,agian.

The Land belonged to the Children of
Con. Robert e. Lee.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE court of
claims has completed its investigation of the
claim of the executors of Anna NJ. Fitz-
hugh referred to it by congress under the
Bowman act. This is O claim for timber
taken by United States troops during
the war from "Ravensworth," ;" in Fairfax
county, Virginia. Mrs. Fitzhugh was a
life tenant of this property. and at
her death it reverted to the chill
dren Of Mary A r. Curtis, Swife
of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The court found
that Mrs. Fitzhugh was loyal to the govern
ment and that timber to the value of
$4,000 was taken from the estate. but that
at the time this was done the property be-
longed, by reversion, entirely to the chill
dren of Gen. Robert f. Lee, viz: G. W. C.
Lee. W. h. F. Lee. Mary C. Lee, Robert
E. Lee and Mildred Lee. These heirs have
never made any application for legal re-
dress and will be entitled TO compensation
for the timber taken only upon proof of
loyalty to the government at the time it
was removed.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 17.-Yesterday
1000 workmen belonging to various labor
societies, paraded and marched to the resi-
dence of President Diaz to congratulate him
on his reelection. Bands OF students held

RAILWAY TRLEGRAPHERs.
The Order Stronger Numerically and
Financially Than Ever.


Financially Than Ever.
CHATTANOOGA, May 17.-To-day's
session of the Order of Railway Telegra-
piers was devoted to consideration
Of the reports of the grand divis-
ion. The chief telegrapher's report re-
viewed the work of the order for
the past year and noted that it was
stronger numerically and financially than
ever before, numbering 10000 members.
The seoretary's report shows that the pro-
tectiye fund OF the organization amounts
to $50, 900, and the general fund TO $40 900.
Several amendments TO the constitution
were offered to-day. The most important
of these are to make the order universal,
embracing all telegraphers; to make
the meeting Of the grand division biennial
instead of annual to effect a federation
between the O. der Of Railroad Telegraphers
and other railroad organizations. II is
probable that the session will not close this
week. The number Of delegates now in
attendance is over 100. and the interest is
intense, as this is the first meeting since the
protective policy was adopted by the order

PLEA OF THE FLOOD SUFFERERS
The approximations Committee
Against Going to the Rescue.

An6 APPROXIMATIONS COnDlltte0
Against Going to the Rescue.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Representative
Cachings Of Mississippi, few days ago, on
receipt OF letters from Warren county,
Mississippi. calling attention to the fact that
large numbers of the inhabitants of the
county had been driven from their homes
by the floods Of the Mississippi river and
several thousand negroes rendered destitute,
introduced q resolution appropriatinx
$50, 900 for the relief of the destitute until
the high water had receded, the landlords
being unable TO aid the sufferers as this was
the third successive year in which the land
had been subnierged. To-day Representa-.
tive Breckinridge of Kentucky reported
the resolution from the appropriations
committee, with an adverse recommeuda-
ton. In view of the floods in parts
OF the west, and of the line
which it draws as TO the powers of relief
the government should exercise, the report
accompanying the bill is Of interest. The
report says that the facts presented have
excited the warmest sympathy Of the COM
mittee and they would gladly report the
resolution favcrably IL there were no other
questions involved than that OF giving sues
cor to the persons in distress. But they do
not think that the case is one which would
justify congress IN making the appropria-
tion asked.
ROOM FOR ARGUMENT.
The report SAYS there is room for serious
argument as TO whether, under the circum-
stances, congress has the power to take
money from the public treasury and ex-
pend it for the relief OF destitute citizens in
the states, and that while the government
has sometimes appropriated money for that
purpose, its power to do so has always been
challenged, and the assumption Of power
has rather resulted from sympathy excited
by appeals to its generosity than from
belief that it really possessed IL.
But, however, that may be, says the report,
congress has never undertaken to give re-
lief except where the suffering had assumed
such magnitude as TO make it appear
that an expenditure was required far beyond
the means Of the local authorities The com
mtttee thinks that the case presented falls
far short Of this requirement and concludes:
If relief should be given in this case
scarcely a week would pass without an appeal
from some quarter to congress The local
authorities would cease all efforts to make
provision for local troubles and misfortunes,
private charity would no longer extend its
helping hand, and great part of the rev.
enues OF the government would be devoted
to dispensing aims Under the circum-
stances the committee feel constrained to
recommend that the resolution be not
adopted

Harrison Wants Il Held Back Until

WASHINGTON, May ~ President Har-
rison has viewed with alarm the approach
Of the river and harbor bill, which some of
his opponents IN congress In and out of his
own party have been trying to get to him
ten days before the Minneapolis convention
with the wicked purpose of embarrassing
him in a dilemma, either horn OF which
might prove fatal to his aspiration. He
saw with regret that Representative Hol-
man was not able to recommit the bill in
the House, and with serious. apprehension
that Senators Quay and Washburn, with
the cooperation of other anti-Harrison re-
publtcans and of the democrats who are
members Of the committee con commerce,
had worked so successfully y Dn tbs bill before
1t came to the Senate thss sh4ye were able
TO get it reported to the Ssnate wfth unusual
rapidtty.
A CONSULTATION. I1sH'
He summoned some Of his senatorial
friends to the white house, and talked the
situation over with them. AT these con-
sultations it was resolved to attempt TO re-
commit the bill in the Senate. Tomorrow
motion to that effect is expected, coupled
with instructions for a horizontal cut OF
25 per cent. The friends of the bill claim
to be able to defeat the motion. 1t will be
crucial vote for presidential candidates,
and even for some of the anti-Harrison
men who would like to oppose
it for the sake OF preventing delay Ia get
ting the bill to the PresidenG. The Harri-
son men are counting on receiving enough
of the votes Of economical democrats, or
those who want to appear SO, to carry the
motion, and 80 either keep the bill in the
commerce committee or delay II In the con-
ference committee if they do not succeed In
the attempted horizontal cut.
