ooLoRED BAPTIST CONVENTION.
It's Resolutions Denounoe Rape and
Lynching and Indorse Ida Wells.


Lynching and Indorse Ida Wells.
Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 16.-The
National Colored Baptist convention, now
m session here, unanimously passed the
following resolutions last night:
Whereas, the negroes of the south are
charged by their white neightors as being
possessed of such strong and unDridled lust,
as constantly exposes the white women OF the
south 10 the attacks and abuses of the rapists;
and,
Whereas, the negroes supposed guilt has
caused the white people in certain sections Of
the country to pour upon us such forms of
mob violence as is seldom seen in any civil
lied country; and
Whereas, we realize that no crime which
can be committed against the virtuous fe-
male can impose upon her greater and Sc
verer personal loss than the crime of rape,
and that no crime which may be committed
against state can do more to blot out the
sentiment of love and Justice from the hearts
OF its people, and do more to undermine the
stability and prosperity of the government
than the reign of mobs therefore, be it
Resolved by the cOlOred Baptists of the
United States Of America, in convention as
sembled, in the city of Montgomery, Ala,
representing constituency Of 2,500,toJ per-
sons,
!. That we hate with all the strength Of our
God-fearing hearts the diabollcal crime of
rape, whether IN white or black, and vow to
use all the legal and moral means at our com
mand to put down and crush out the british
disposition which would thus fearfuily and
wantOnly trample upon female virtue.
2. That the taking of human life for rape
or other crimes, without adequate proof of
guilt established by due process of law, is
itself a crime and species of barbarism and
lawlessness which we pray the people OF the
country no longer to tolerate
3. That our thanks are Que, and the same
are hereby extended, to Miss Ida b. Wells
and to all other justice and liberty loving
people north and south, at home and abroad.
for the efforts which they have made and are
now making TO create a sentiment, which has
for its object the restoration TO favor and to
power that which is noblest in human ma
ture, and that which brings peace, pros
perity and stability to governments.
T. That we gratefully recognize the fact
that there is a growing element among our
white neighbors who wish our peace and
prosperity in the south, and who are more
and more inclined to extend to us the helping
hand and to voice the spirit of business and
fairness through the pulpit and the press.
Another resolution, specifically thank
ing the governor of Tennessee, several
southern newspapers and certain Mem
phis officials for the part they had taken
in bringing the lynchers in the recent
Western Tennessee lynching to justice,
was also passed.

and it has no funds with which TO meet
the war expenses, as the wealthy men of
the country have no patriotism and make
no voluntary offerings. As the
mounted brigands of Manchuria
and other rebels are only waiting
for an opportunity to rise up
IN arms, China is, therefore, so
pressed by internal dissensions and
foreign war that she cannot afford to
practice her usual dilatory policy IL is
China's real wish to put ali end to the
war as soon as possible, and though she
has been defeated at Seillau and Gazan,
she has sent troops to Hello TO fight, it is
thought, the decisive battle.
The Chinese are building forts between
Hoan and Tesuo the former being twelve
miles from Hello At Tetsuo, which is
four miles further, the river is deep
enough to admit large ships. There is no
doubt that China Intends the battle of
Hello TO be decisive, and is
masslng 10000 troops there. 1t
IS also suspected that she will send out
her squadron as soon as the land forces
at Hel are in full strength and engage
in decisive naval battle at the same
time the battle on land is raging.
On Aug 10 the Japanese scouts were
suddenly attacked at Chauwa by the
Chinese and four of the scouts were cap
taken to Chinese headquarters at Hello,
beheaded, and then exposed TO public
view for four days. A telegram from
Chemulpo, dated Aug 19S stated
that the Chinese have retired
from the Yashah district, after several
days heavy fighting, during which 10000
japanese were massed against $500 Chin
ese. In the first Gays of the battle the
Japanese met with sharp resistance and
suffered severe losses; the Chinese losses
being unimportant. The latter finally
withdrew, leaving the camp in charge of
300 men, who were attacked and cap
tured by an overwhelming force of
japanese before dawn. The guard was
killed, but not, however, before 800 of
the attacking party had been slain. The
japanese forces have retired from Va
shan northward to Ping Yan, and it is
rumOred that there has been heavy fight
ing in the vicinity of Ping Yang King
The Koreans at Conan have killed a
French priest under the impression that
he was a Japanese spy.

Throat Out by a Fiend,

Thomasville, Ga, Sept 16.-There was
