The quality of endurance of or indiffer-

or repulsion is said to belong to men with
out ner es. There is no such thing and
cannot be. The finer the physical devel-

Not a Promotion.

New York, May 1.-The Spanish minis ter, Senor Dupuy de Lome, referring to the statement that Liutenant Harra, who commanded the Condo de Venedito which fired upon the United States mer- chantman Allianca some weeks ago, had been sent to Havana and placed on duty in the office of the marine commandant and that this designation was intended to be promotion, said:
 Promotions in our navy go by strict seniority. To detail an officer from sea to duty means to lose an important part of his pay. 1 may say in passing that so far as this gentleman is concerned he has received from Madrid rebuke, and not a promotion. The Venedto,' con- tinued the minister lis not gunboat as she has been usually characterized.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PEOPLE.
Second Day of the Convention the Sta tistics Show-Reports of the Coun-
 ties Was the Feature

Mobile, May 1-The second days ses- sion of the state Sunday school congress met at o'clock this morning in the Gov ernment Street Presbyterian church, and was opened with a praise service, which was led by MT. A. c. Harte.
 At the conclusion of this service MT. George p. Driver of opelika, chairman of the state executive committee, read his annual report, which dwelt specially upon the better organization of the state work He pleaded for an official organ for the proper plan of work, and an off, cial organizer to travel through the state for from three to six months each year.
 Secretary Joseph Carthel of Anniston then read his annual report, which he emphasized by the use of charts. He said that there was 226,711 scholars in the Sunday schools of Alabama and there are 470, 900 children between the ages of 5 and 20 who are not in the Sunday schools, and he thought that these statis- tics ought to appeal strongly to the Sum day school workers and arouse them to immediate activity.
 The treasurers report showed ex- penses for the year of $307.5 and bal ance on hand of $39.49
 Mir Carthel then opened a discussion on How we can extend and improve our county and district organizations" He advocated the establishment of a Sunday school in every community by the lay men, and said that because the church in any community was closed on Sunday was no good reason why the Sunday school should not be kept open every Sunday in the year. A five-minute dis cussion followed this address and many of the talks were very entertaining.
 The reports from the counties followed this address of MT. Carthel. Because of the lack of preparation many of these reports were very tiresome, although some of them were highly entertaining and instructive. The report for Mobile shows seventy-five Sunday schools and 3O0o children, and four county meetings held during the year.
 After the reports were finished MT. E. 0. Fowlkes, on behalf of the reception committee, invited the convention to take an excursion down the bay Thursday af- ternoon at o'clock. The invitation was accepted.
 Resolutions on the death of w. l..

ED PRICES NIGHT OF TERROR
BUT SlEY BURST INTO SACRED SONG.

Denton, Md, May 1.-Armed guards patrolled the streets of this town at Il o'clock last night to prevent any attempt to lynch Ed E. Price, the young black smith whose trial for the murder of Sallie Dearborn on March 26, near the village of Harmony, begun yesterday.
 The prisoner had been confined in the Baltimore city jail for sarety and was brought here under a strong police guard from that city, A rumor that an armed mob would attempt to lynch Price during the night caused the authorities to take every precaution There were a great many persons on the streets until an early hour this morning and many threats were uttered, but no attempt was made to reach the prisoner. One large crowd gathered near the jail and sang, Nearer, My God, to Thee" AL though drenching rain fell this morn ing, great crowd again stood about the court room and not one-f1fth of the number could gain admission thereto.
 The excitement over the trial is intense and every available tree, awning post and hitching post in town had two or three teams tied to it. The visitors come from all sections of Caroline and the adjoining counties in swarms.
 Today's testimony was very damaging to Price. Several links in the chain con meeting him with the murder were weld ed, and Detective George Seibold, who arrested Price, testified that the latter confessed the murder, but denied that he had assaulted the girl before killing her. pr. Joseph c. Clarke corroborated Dr. Duhaway's testimony to the effect that the girl had been criminally as- saulted by the murderer. The feeling against Price is very bitter and much uneasness is exhibited by the towns people. They dread mob violence. It is certain that if Sheriff Berry relaxes his vigilance to any appreciable extent the effort will be made to lynch Price to- night.

Summary of the Situation in Illinois

Chicago, May 1.-Reports received in this city from different points in the mining district indicate that May day saw little trouble. The following dis patch is representative one:
 Spring Valley, Ill. May 1.-The miners of Spring Valley, as well as of the dis trict, went to work this morning the same as usual, at last years prices and conditions. There is. however, a condi- ton in this years agreement that did not exist last year. The maintenance of the present prices for the entire year depends upon the outcome of the miners strike in Pennsylvania and Ohio where the operators are attempting to force reduction below the Columbus scale In the event of the operators succeeding northern Illinois miners agree to submit to a similar one, but under no circum- stances will they accept a larger cut than cents on the ton for screened coal. It is rumored that the miners of north ern Illinois are contemplating donating 9 cents of every ton of coal they dig for the relief of eastern strikers.
 Reports from other points in Illinois summarized, are as follows:
