slave party continues to menace the gov

ing succeeded in importing supplies of
arms and ammunition. The king is anx-
ious to obtain arms for the government
party, but the consuls vetoed his propo-
siton, believing an uprising can be pre-
vented by watchful eyes.
The slaves have been greatly excited
over false rumor that Matafa and his
fellow eXles were to be returned to
Samoa.

RUSSIA CODDLEs ABYSSiNIA.

RUSSIA GOODIES ABISSiNIA.
New York, May ia dispatch to the
Herald from st. Petersburg says: Gen.
Shvedoff, head of the Russian Red Cross
society and leader of the expedition to
Abyssinia, telegraphs, saying that he and
his party have been received with open
arms and that the Negus Menelik is max
ing extensive preparations for their pass
age for Harr.
The Novoe Vremya says that England S
fears about Herat are unfounded.
The Russian Red Cross expedition to
Abyssinia left Odessa early in April.
This is the third Russian expedition to
Abyssinia. The first, under the Cossack
Ashinoff left in December, 1888, and end
ed at Sagallo. The second, which was
called scientific mission, left about
eighteen months ago and resulted in the
arrival in st. Petersburg of political
embassy from the Negus with a special
mission respecting the religion of the
Russian church and the faith professed
by the Abyssinians. The present mis-
sion, under the command of Gen. Shve-
doff, assisted by several military officers,
consists of about eighty members, of
which the medical staff numbers six doe
tors and twelve nurses. OF the other
members of the expedition nothing is
stated, except that one is priest, who
is taking 10000 small crosses to !istrib-
ute among the Abyssinians. 1t is expect
ed in Russian official circles that this eX-
petition will give Russia that footing in
Abyssinia which she has been so patient
ly trying to obtain.

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 12.-The
closing session of the Southern Baptist
convention was in keeping with the past
session. The large auditorium was filled
to the doors and great interest was
manifested in the proceedings.
President HARRISON called the meeting
to RIDER at 8 o'clock and Rev. Il. III. Elicit
of Richmond, Va, opened proceedings
with prayer. The report of the commit
tee on business and finances of the Sun
day school board was presented and
showed a better conduct of affairs in
every department.
The committee on time and place of
next meeting reported in favor of Will
mington, n. c. beginning on Friday be-
fore the second Sunday in May, 1897.
The first breeze in the convention fol
lowed the reading by j. b. Crantill of
Waco, Texas, of the following resolution:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Southern Baptist convention, re-
assert our ceaseless and uncompromising
hostility to the manufacture, sale, impor-
tation and transportation of alcoholic
beverages in any and all of their forms.
we regard the policy of issuing gov
eminent licenses for the purpose of carry
ing. on liquor traffic as a sin against God
and dishOnor to our people.
I'VE furthermore announce it as our
conviction that we should, by all legiti-
mate means, oppose the liquor traffic in
municipality, state and nation.
Furthermore, we announce it as the
sense of this body that no person should
be received in the fellowship of a Baptist
church who engages in the manufacture
or sale of alcoholic liquors, either at
wholesale or retail, who invests his money
IN the manufacture or sale of alcohlic
liquors, or rents his property to be used
Tor dlstlllerles, wholesale liquor houses or
saloons, or shall retain in its membership
any person who visits saloons or drinking
places for the purpose of said indulgence.
~ r. u. B. CRANFILL."
L. H. Tobin of Louisville expressed
the point of order that the resolution was
OF a political nature and not within the
province of the convention, and that it
had no right to consider it.
Key. DIR. Battle of Virginia, DR.. Bacon
