Bill introduced to commemorate the Serv.
ices of Private Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Congressman
Watson, of Ohio, introduced a bill in
congress yesterday appropriating $780,
900 for monument to be erected in
Washington to commemorate the serv-
ices and achievements of private SOL
diers and non-commissioned officers
and enlisted men of the navy during
the late war. There are many monu-
ments in Washington erected to the
memory of union officers of the army
and navy distinguished in the late war
of the rebellion" said Mr.. Watson,
"but there is no monument erected to
the memory of private soldiers and
non-commissioned officers of the army,
or enlisted men in the navy, who
served in the cause of the union dur
ing the war. There is a so-called
peace monument here, but that is not
commemorative of the deeds of the
common soldiers of the war"

test.
DETROIT, Mich, April Nv. Fl. j.
Traynor, supreme president of the
American Protective association, has
issued circular to the order at large
upon the political situation. President
Traynor declares that the A. P. A. has
cinch upon the presideD tial situation,
and presents an exhaustive plan for the
complete political organization of the
order, from the primaries up. He urges
the various state councils to send their
representatives to the supreme coun-
ell, which meets next month at WASH
ington, pledged to such reforms as the
su coordinate member of the order most
desire, thus avoiding the danger of
strong partisans from using the order
for their own ends. He makes strong
protest against the Marquette statue
and especially warns the order to OPP
pose the resolution of Congressman
Morse, of Massachusetts,, ''Ac-
knowledging Almighty God as
the source of all power and
authority in civil government,
our Lord Jesus Christ as the ruler of
nations and His revealed will as the
supreme duGnOrICy III CIVIL aHa1rS.
This, he says, is a remarka BILE and dan
gerous proposal to place the affairs of
state in the hands of the church The
writer concludes with the declaration
that the Venezuelan war scare was
misleading campaign dodge and that
the Cuban and Armenian agitations
while advocated by those who were
sincere, were mere subterfuges to kill
time until after the presidential cleo
tons and distract the attention of the
people from proposed and much need
ed national measures of reform.

CLINTON, ILL.,, April AT 4:3O yes

Venezuela sustains the plan of Latin

strongly favors the plan as a check to
English arrogance and territorial am

that if the plan did not conceal the

send delegates to a conference, but
would prefer that the United States

New YORK, April 3-The color line
was distinctly visible for short time
in yesterdays session Of New York's
Methodist Episcopal conference. It
was precipitated by a resolution of
Rev. Delos Lull, which recommended
that the general conference take un-
der consideration the ACCESSIBILITY and
expediency of putting colored man
on the bench of bishops. This was
characterized by Rev. c. III. McAnenny
as an attempt at special legisla-
ton for the colored race, many
of whom, he said, had shown
themselves ungrateful for favors re-
ceived. Take Fred Douglass" con-
tinued DR.. McAnenny, ''who was held
up as an ideal man by those of his
race. In what way did he benefit
them? And when he died, did he leave
a penny for their improvements"
