All Over Missouri They Are Divided
 Into Fighting Factions.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10.-A bitter fight is on among the colored Baptigts of this state, and there is no telling what the termination of it will be. One faction went so far as to say it may mean 8 term in the penitentiary for the other, and the other faction has denounced the leader of the first faction as an outsider and usurper of the authority.
 The alleged usurper is Bishop Albert Mack, who has been evangelizing in the state, and against whom warning to the other churches has been used by the association in the shape of circular letter. The bishop has also issued 8 lengthy statement in which he endeav- ors to exonerate himself, and makes va- rious threats against the association.
 It appears that the bishop has rather peculiar ideas regarding the Baptist doctrine in the way of dress. He wears a black gown on the order of those worn by the Episcopal clergy, and upon his brow he wears crown that inspires 8 sort of awe, even if it does not exactly coincide with Baptist teachings.
 Bishop Mack, in reply to the letter, said in part:
 Anyone that has any knowledge of business can see there is nothing in it but jealousy and prejudice, and accord ing to the laws of this state they can be put in the pen for seven years, and I tell you, brethren. if you don't stop your foolishness you will go there"

 of s141.ses,sso, About s75,oo0 Less
 Than That For the Current Year--The
 Others Related to Postal Matters-Cu-
 ban Question In the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-The house without wasting time proceeded to business Tuesday, and before the ses. sion closed had passed three bills of con. siderable importance and the first of the regular supply bills-that for pen sions. Three of the bills related to postal matters.
 One provided for the use of private mailing cards of the same general size and character as the present postal cards when 1-eent stamps are affixed.
 Another provided for a limited in- demnity of $10 for the loss of registered mail matter
 The third provided for private car rier service in towns and villages where no free delivery exists. It provides that on the application of 20 persons receiv- ing their mail at the same office the postmaster shall appoint such persons as are willing to undertake the collection and delivery of mails, that the charge is not to exceed 1 cent for each letter, and that the charge shall be paid by the beneficiary.
 The pension bill was passed without factious opposition, but Mir Grow of Pennsylvania took occasion ill the de- bate to submit some views in favor of higher tariff duties based on that portion of the presidents message relating to the tariff The bill carries $141, ,283, ,880, about $75. .000 less than that for the cur rent year.
 The notice given by Thomas E. Wat son of contest against J. c. Black of George, who was elected at a special election last spring, was read to the house andlreferred to the committee on elections.
 The notice of the opening of Cuban discussion was about the only feature of interest developed at the brief ses- sion of the senate, which lasted only 95 minutes. Senator Cullom gave notice of speech on Cuba tomorrow. The senators had expected to start the wheels of actual business, but the ap- pearance of a house resolution relative to the death of ex-Speaker Crisp led to the customary adjournment as Q mark of respect.
 A large number of bureau reports were received, including that of the government directors of the Pacific railroads.

 possession of the island of Cuba with
 the military and naval forces of the United States and hold the same until
 the people ofACuba can organize such g
 government as they wish, and organize
 and arm and equip such naval forces as may be necessary to secure them against
 foreign invasion.
 Senator Cameron's resolution was as 1 follows
 Resolved, by the senate and house
 of representatives that the independ-
 ence of the republic of Cuba be, and
 same is hereby acknowledged by the United States of America.
 Resolved, that the United States
 should use it's friendly offices with the
 government of Spain to bring to close ! the war between Spain and Cuba" The one by Senator Gall read this way:
 { Resolved by the senate and house . of representatives, that the United I States of America recognizes the re. l public of Cuba as free and independ- I ent government and accord to the peo- pie of Cuba all the rights of & sov"r-
 eign and independent government in l ports and within the jurisdiction of the United States"
 Senators Mills and Cameron's resolu.
 tions were referred to tho committee on foreign relations, but Senator Calls resolution was tabled.
 4 Then came food of various bills. ! Senator Chandler secured the adop- tion of sweeping resolution directing the interstate commerce commission tC prevent the joint traffic association oi
 railroads, and to look after the flour and windowglass trusts.
 Senator Allen (Pop., Neb.) moved \ then to consider action on the Dingley tariff bill. The vote to take up the bill
 stood 30 to 21 Several Democrats and X Populists voted aye. The bill WAS al
 once placed before the senate and con. K sidered until o'clock, when it was dis. l placed by the immigration bill
