A RAID ON The TREASURY.
Crisp, Maddox and a Few Others
Head OF the Onslaught.

A Big Combine Of Members Rallies 20
Get 100000 TO $40, 900, 900 for
Public Butldings-only Six Demo.
Gratis in the Successful Fight
Against the Raid-The Wording Of
the Rule Which Set Aside the Day
Also Helped Them Out.
Washington, Aug s.-Speaker Crisp's
forethought andI2epresentative Maddox,
with few other stalwart democrats,
kept the treasury from being raided to-
day to the amount of Sl0,000,O0O or sI5,-
100000. The day had been set aside for the
committee on public buildings and
grounds. No sooner had the days bust
ness commenced than a mammoth
combination of the east and west.
headed by the Chicago delegation,
which wanted S4,OOO,O0O for building,
and New York, which wanted S8,OO0,OO0
more for new appraisers building,
showed its head. Besides these two
claims nearly every district between the
two sections wanted something, from a
$4,000 TO 100000 appropriation The
combination was the strongest which has
appeared in congress this session, for it
was able TO carry every appropriation
in the combination through.
THE OPPOSITION.
There were about six democrats who
fought. Representative Maddox wss the
leader of the small minority, and he
noted every time quorum was lacking,
and demanded the same. When not do
ing this, he was demanding the tellers,
and ayes and nays. This continued until
O'Clock, when the combination began to
call for members intending to get quo
rum and adjourn over the legislative day,
But for the foresight of the speaker, they
could have kept this up until every appro-
priation in the combination, amounting TO
about Sl5,00O,000, had been passed.
FATAL FLAW.
Finally, some one called the attention
OF Bourke Cochran 10 the rule which set
aside the day The usual term "lezisla-
tive day" did not appear in the rule, but
instead was inserted calendar day.
The calendar day ends always at mid
night, whereas a legislative day can be
continued indefinitely But, with Repre-
sentGtives Maddox, Bland and other
watch-dogs on deck, the combination gave
up the fight and the House adjourned
Representative Catchings said Speaker
Crisp feared some such combination and
precluded the possibility of the raid by
the wording of his rule.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
A Cali Issued for a National Conven-
ton at Indianapolis

New York, Aug S.-The Afro-American
bureau organization of the democratic
congressional committee has issued the
following call:
To Democrats Of Color Of the United States
Inc national Negro Democratic League will
convene IN indianapolis. Ind. on Aug. IA. II
is hoped that negro democrats from every
STATE and territory will be represented to
evidence by their presence their loyalty
70 tne policies and principles of the admin
lstratlOn. Al no time in the history
OF negro democracy has there been greater
necessity for counseling together to deter
mine the future course and policy Of the
negro IN America. The present business
stagnatton, due TO the rotous legislation of
the last administration, is being held up to
the great masses of negroes by the republi-
can press OF the country as the result Of
democratic ascendency; through this con
Ventlon may be heralded the true facts and
causes To the negroes of every state.
II is matter of sincere congratulation to
note the answering fealty shown TO the
democratic party by our people in Alabama
IN the recent election. Possibly for the first
time was the negro vote directly appealed to,
ana It's response was evidenced by return of
large democratic majorities in every negro
county In this state. This open appeal to the
negro vote is and should be especially graft
Tying to you and the negroes gen
orally, since 1t forever refutes the
statement made by our friends, the enemy
that the negro is not wanted in the Demo
cratic party" and at the same time 1t evil
dences that the negro vote is factor, and Ia
destined to become more So as he exert Uses
an intelligent discrimination in the use OF his
ballot
Let the forces then gather in great mum bers
at Indianapolis for harmonious and intelli
gent discussion of the conditions confronting
us as race. Il. G.. STILL,
Chief Afro American Bureau of Organize
tion Democratic Congressional Committee.

comes to constructing the platform But
the boys from the forks of the creek will
be here, and while there is going to be a
fight, and the fur is going to fly, there is
no doubt but the boys from the forks are
going to come out on top. The old oDpo-
sition will fight and kick but it will not
bolt. 1t has had enough of that sort of
thing"
