NEGROES ON LYNCHING.
Do Not Condone the Crimes Com.
mitted by Their Race.

ST. LOUIS. Sept 14.-At the African M.
+. conference to-day the reports OF Law
delegates were made and a number of ad-
dresses on several subjects delivered. This
evening, at least 1900 persons were pres
ent to hear the discussion on Miss
Ida B. Wells anti-lynching work. Blsnou
Walkers, the first speaker, commenced his
remarks with denunciation of the recen,
lynching near Memphis, Tenn, of ak
colored men. He spoke of the English in.
vestigatirg committee. and said:
ERE they arrived upon our shores this
crime, which beggars description, was
heralded to the world to silence the guns
of our enemies. 1t gave the lie to the
slanderous reports which had been sen,
across the waters. We do not condone
crimes committed by any members of the
race. Indeed, it is our duty as ministers
to lift up our voices against sin of eyery
kind.
"But while we do our duty in this re.
spect, we want our white brothers to see
that when we are accused of crime we are
given fair trial. Oursges are more ag.
gravating when we remember that white
men can commit crimes against coIored
women and nothing is said about it"
He compIimented Miss Wells, and said
God himself had raised her up to do the
work she is doing. He closed by urging
his people to form anti-lynchiug leagues
and do all in their power to abolish lynch.

LADIES IN A STEW.
Mrs. Grubb Used the Money of
the Order.
Now They Propose to Set the Law in
Force Against Her at
Once.

PITTsBURG. Sept 14.-By an official an
OF Camden, n. j., past national treasurer
OF the Ladies OF the G. A. H., Is charged
with misapprOpriating the funds of that
organization. This statement in the
ladies' meeting to-day created a sensation.
The proceedings of the convention were
secret. One of the ladies, who is in high
standing. makes the statement that Mrs
Grubb has defaulted TO the amount OF
$500, and suit has been brought against
her Dondsmen to recover. Mrs. Grubb.
she says. was reelected TO the office she
held and had the confidence of the ladies
to such an extent that the auditors con cid
cred it only necessary to make cursory
report.
How long the shortage has existed is
not stated, bu: at the Washington encamp-
ment the books were thought to be cor
rect and she was reelected. At Indian
apolis in 1898 when a new treasurer was
elected, Mrs. Grnbb failed to turn over
some of the books and an Investigation
then disclosed the discrepancy. When
Mrs. Carrie V. Sheriff. who was president
in 1892, learned of the fact, sh e together
with Attorney John Vanderslice of Phila-
delphia conferred with Mrs. Grubb in
Camden and suit was filed through
voorhees, & Co. of Camden. The case will
come TO trial next month.
1t appears that nothing of this was
known to the members of the order until
to-day. In the very warm discussion Mrs.
Margaret A. Stevens of Camden, a member
of the council of administration and
Laura McLair. who was The first national
president, made urgent appeals in behalf
OF Mrs Grnbb, and suggested that the
ladies donate enough TO make up the de-
fciency. hoping to keep the scandal quiet.
Others, however, bitterly denounced tbs
ex-treasurer, and insisted that the law
take its course. The majority voted In
favor of prosecution and the end is not ye:.
The excuse made for Mrs. Grubb by her
friends is that when she used the money

WASHINGTON, Sept 14.-The Inter

no doubt that the japanese forces op-

Dispatches from Fusan bring additional
combinations of the report that the whole
of Southern Korea has arisen against the
Japanese. 1t also seems confirmed that a
Japanese force of 1000, which attempted to
march from Fusan to Seoul. met with dis

turn to the former place with 1900 of their

DEFENDS THE SENATE
Democratic Handbook for the
Fall Campaign.
The Party Is Also Called Upon to
Shoulder Cleveland's Policy
as to Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-The Demo-
cratic handbook issued by the Congress
sional committee is out In its makeup it
differs very materially from the forthcom-
ing Republican campaign book and goes
into argument rather than statistics to
support the Democratic position. The
book was edited by Mr.. Bynum, who was
said to have represented in the House the
conservative" element of the Senate,
which made up the present tariff law.
The book. therefore, upholds the tariff law
very strenuously and stands by the work
of the Senate.
The letter of Secretary Carlisle to Sem
aior Harris. in which he advises against
the passage of the free-sugar bill by the
Senate, and which was made the basis for
the refusal of the Senate TO act on the pop
gun bills, is published in full. To offset
this, however, and as if TO give fair show
to both sides, the book also contains Presi-
dent Cleveand's letter to Congressman
Catchngs, in which reference is made to
the deadly blight of treason that blasted
the councils of the brave in their hour of
might.
The Presidents letter to Congressman
Wilson is also published. The book does
not contain any criticisms of the Senate
for favoring the sugar trust. and the only
reference to sugar LEGISLATION 10 long
statement designed to prove that after all
the Republicans are responsible for the
sugar trust by having fostered it in the
Mckinley bill.
The Hawaiian question Is treated in q
similar manner. Instead of attempting a
defense of President Cleveland's policy
the book contents itself with abusing
President Harrison's administration. The
deposed Queen is pictured as martyr,
whom the President in vain tried TO succor,
and her protest against her dethronement
is published in full.
