 in London.
 London, June 1s.-The final session of the Womans Christian Temperance union was held in the city temple today, Lady Henry Somerset presiding. Lady Somerset was reelected president. After the announcement of the result of the election Lady Somerset proposed res olution denouncing the lynching in the southern parts of the United States. In the course of her remarks in the intro duction of her resolution, Lady Somerset denounced Miss Ida Wells the colored agitator against lynchings, for havin, made unfair attacks upon Miss France s E. Willard and other temperance lead CTS of America, charging them with being unsympathetic with the negroes of the United States.
 Miss Florence Belgarne said that al- though the resolution had her hearty ap- proval she felt constrained to defend Miss Wells against the aspersons which had been cast upon her She thought the Woman's Christian Temperance union of America had acted the part of an apologist for rather than a denouncer of outrages perpetrated upon negroes II soon became evident that the lady was speaking to a hostile audience, which listened to her with impatience for a time and finally began systematic se- ries of interruptions. Miss Belgarine bravely continued her remarks for some time in spite of the adverse circum- stances, but finally yielded, and bursting into tears sat down.
 Miss Willard declared that she was heart and soul in favor of the resolu- ton and deeply sympathized with the col0red people of the south. She re- gretted, however, that Miss Wells, by her attitude towards the whites had stirred up the black blood of strife She would only say that she thought Miss Wells had been unwise and indiscreet
 Miss Hattie Brown and Mrs. Hoffman spoke in a similar strain.
 Lady Somerset's resolution was then passed unanimously and the audience was entertained with songs by Miss Amanda Smith.
