Need OF an International Agreement For
heir Marking or Removal.
A Washington dispatch anent the res
oluticn of Congressman Cummings pro
viding for an international agreement
for the reporting marking and removal
OF derelicts IL the north Atlantic ocean
says;
Secretary Carlisle, in letter TO the
committee ON the subject, says that the
necessity for such an agreement among
Inc governments concerned was elnpha-
EZed by the international marine con-
ference held in Washington in 1889. He
believes the resolution "a proper one and
recommends its passage. Accompany
ing his letter are extracts from the re-
port OF the commissioner of navigation
ON the subject.
Commissioner OBrien In his report
especially invites attention TO the sab
ject of derelicts and other distractions
to navigation. He refers TO it as a mat
ter OF international Government and
one OF great Importance President Mink
or the American Steamship association,
IN a letter TO Mr.. OBrien, says that he

making heroic efforts to get rid of dere-
hcts OFT the Atlantic coast. He is re-
Jolced at this. as the members of the as
ISOLATION are complaining bitterly at
these unlighted and unmarked obstruc-
tions. They have been so frequent of
late that 10 captain feels easy in going
up or down the coast.
Mr.. Mallory says that precious car
goes and still more precious lives are
greatly threatened every time vessel
passes between the United States and
Europe and along the North American
coast, and they are not infreQuently de-
stroyed. Charts have done much for the
safety of commerce by showing the posi-
lions of S32 vessels abapdoned ON the high
seas and by marking the drift tracks of
lS9 OF them. But they have utterly
failed, and this is an alarming fact, to
show the tracks of 625 derelicts which
have been reported. It'll another alarm
ing fact that they have tracks and do
drift. They are here today, yonder to-
morrow. They are rowing fleet that
always hover upon the pathway of COM
merce. They are more dangerous than
a fleet of pirates, because they are vast
ly more numerous, because they strike
even more by night than by day and be-
cause they are more merciless when they
do strike. To destroy them is the only
effective way of dealing with them.

The Little Princess Made the Tail
of a Social Kite.

Mr. EDITOR Perhaps Mr. Davies
has at last discovered that in max
ing Kaiulani the tail to the social
kite which he has been flying in
England, he has not rendered to
her a great service. As we all know,
a merchant or trader has no social
standing in the English aristocracy,
At the same time there are always
rich merchants who are persistent
w trying 20 creep into the eXclu-
sive circles, very much as the small
boys crawl under, or climb over, or
steal through the flaps of the circus
tent without tickets. That Mr..
Davies should be willing to stand
on the back of the young princess
and take peep over the high fen
ces into the sacred enclosure of the
aristocracy Is quite natural. But
before standing on her fragile back
with his boots on, weighted with
his vast ambition to be somebody,
he should have inquired after her
political health. Any one with
only glimmering of political sense
should have known that good poll
tics" required that the princess
be educated on American lines.
While being trained in an Ameri-
can school she would have natur-
ally created an interest in herself
by the American people, and in her
time of trouble would have received
substantial sympathy.
But Mr.. Davies deemed it best,
and the royal family, born to car
eer of perpetual laundering, con-
sented to it that she should become
the tail of Mr.. Davies social kite
in England. Having sacrificed
to the god of stupidity, Mr..
Davies brought his kite over
to America, with the same
royal appendix, and flew it before
the romantic school girls Of Amer
lea. It was then too late. The

Detective w. S. Richardson, Ed
T. Atkerson and Jeff Laxton were
Jailed at Memphis last Friday on a
charge Of murder, having been in
dicted by the grand jury on charge
of numbering the six colored men
near Memphis, Tenn. two weeks
ago. There are six indictments
against each Of them. All of these
were arrested before, but released on
bond. This makes six men now in
jail charged with this Infamous MUIR
der, and it is thought the reward of
$4,000, the largest ever offered in
Tennessee, will produce the others,
and be the means Of revealing the
whole plot.
The merchants and professional
men called mass meeting in the
rooms of the Merchants Exchange.
and denounced in bitter terms, and
means were adopted to assist the
authorities and a purse has been
made up for the widows and twenty
four children Of the murdered men.
Verify the prayers of an outraged
race are beginning to be answered.
1t is to be hoped that this condemna-
tion of a cowardly murder will have
its effect upon the whole South and
soon bring about the stopping of
the many atrocious murders that are
termed lynchings. The remedy for
this greatest of evils, is in the hands
OF the Southern white people them
selves, and if they will only apply it
in the manner the Tennessee authori-
tlves are applying it, lynchings will
rapidly decrease. Let us hope that
the other Southern states will follow
the laudible example Of Tennessee.

Partial Report Of Committee on Appor-
tiorment.

We, the committee appointed by the Execu-
tive Bo"rd of the Baptist state convention OF
Kansas, TO attend to the work of making the ap-
portionments required of each association in or
der to raise the sum of three thousand dollars
$4,000 during the association year, to be distrb
uted to the various departments of our church
work as follows:
For district and state missions, sl,75O: for
Church Edifce fund. $l,250 Hereby submit
the following partial report:
From the most accurate information that we
could obtain, we find that the general aggregate
of our membership is about 9.l20
Reckoning from this aggregate membership,
we find that the amount which will be required
per CAPITA would be nearly equal to 35 cents.
This, however, would create a small surplus
above the amount of three thousand dollars
agreed upon by the board.
Notwithstanding, we recommend that this
will be the per capita. This would apportion
the following as the amounts to be raised by
each district association.
The Northwestern District $l,O5O
Inc central District 1850
The Southeastern District 525
The Northeastern District 525
Making total of about SO. $50, or surplus of
$50, above the present basis.
Now if each church will note the membership
of its individual congregation they can very
readily approximate the amount of three thous-
and dollars to be raised. For instance if a
church contains membership of 100 35 cents.
equal $35; or one hundred members multiplied
by 81 cents, equal S35. the amount to be raised
by that individual church.

Mr.. Editor, must say that the asso-

more good done. All who want

IMPORTANT BANKING CASE.

Apeculiar banking case is pending be-
fore Judge Nye of the common pleas
court, in which s. s. Warner, R. A. Horr,
W. Cushion, Jr., C. W. Horr, 0. P. Chap
man, 4. +. Webster and W. R. Wean, who
hold four hundred and ninety shares of
the stock of the First National bank, of
Wellington, seek to enjOin the county
treasurer, II. P. Chapman, from collect
Ing taxes Oh said shares, which they
claim have been Over-valued, and that the
auditor Of the county and Of the state
board OF equalization for banks have re-
fused to allow any reduction for the in
debtedness Of said shareholders, from the
value of said shares. Plaintiffs aver that
the sum actually due as taxes on said
shares Is $4S5.S0, and the amount claimed
as due is $933.50. They wish to restrain
the treasurer from collecting the differ
ences, claiming that their Indebtedness
exceeds their liabilities. They also ask
that the treasurer be enjOined perpetu-
ally from collecting taxes as the same
stand charged upon his 1893 duplicate.
The defendant denies that bank stock
is credit which can be offset against in
debtedness. On the hearing, proof was
made that debts Of the several parties
owning bank stock largely exceeded the
amount Of stock held by them. It illus
trates a method showing how banking
business may be conducted upon the ba-
sis Of debt as capital. II the claim of
plaintiffs is allowed it is the beginning
Of a policy which will take from the du-
plicate the entire valuation Of national
bank stock amounting in LOrain county
to over 100000. Judge Nye has the case
under consideration. No matter what
his decision may be the case is likely to
go to the supreme cOurt.-Reporter.
