An Eloquent Address on the Bacon
Resolutions.
He Ia Favor of the Lay Delegation.
But Attacked Other Provisions

lspecIaI to The .,rln,es.l

Especial to Th0STinles.)
Baltimore, Nd, March 13.-The much
talked-of Bacon resolution formed the chief
topic OF discussion at the baltimore annual
conference this morning. No decision was
reached, ard the discussion was deferred
until tomorrow morning.
Rev. NJ. F. b. Rice OF Washington and the
Revs. j. A. Price, A. j.. Gill and j. c.:
Nicholson spoke in favor Of the measure.
Rev. Hugh Johnston, also OF Washington,
and 9. II. Cummings strenuouusy opposed
1t. DR.. Johnston delivered an eloquent
address, in which he said that he had eX-
perienccd both systems of MethCdism, and.
while he favored lay delegation, he was
opposed to the other provisions of the IA
nous Bacon measure.
The second section, which provides for
the election Of presiding eluers by the
annual conference, he said was uncon-
stitutional, and Ii the third section was
put in operation there would be two kinds
of bishops, and conflicts would be numer-
Gus. DR.. Rice's argument was a strong
one and, had he been allowed the time,
there would probably have been several
anti Baconites won over. But, owing
to the press OF other business, 1t was
necessary to transact routine work.
Washington pastors were well treated
in the distribution OF local pulpits for next
Sunday.
Bishop Warren will make an address to
the newly elected deacons tomorrow, after
which the Bacon resolutions will again be
brought up. II In predicted 10y O una ajority
of the ministers in conference that there
will be an afternoon session.

DECLINE OF THE LIST.
Senate Debate on Cuba HasDepressing
Effect on Stock Market.

New York, March 13.-Stocks, after
the opening, displayed weakness, and even
the early gains in General Electric and
Pacific Mail were partially lost. London
sold rather literally of Louisville and
Nashville and st. Paul. The debate in the
Senate on Cuban matters is disturbing
foreign holders of stocks and accounts for
the selling here this morning.
The decline in prices ranged from IA to
7-S per cent, and nearly every active stock
on the list participated in the downward
movement. Sugar fell ga to 116 Il;
Tobacco T-S to 10; Louisville and Nash
vile 7-S to SO 3-4; st. Paul 3-4 to II Is;
Rock Island 5-S to II 1-2; Chicago Gas
5-S to 6s 3-S; Denver preferred 1-2 to
1-2, and Distillers 5-S to II 1-2. Gen
eral Electric, after an early rise to 80 2,
receded to 81 5-S on heavy realizations.
Pacific Mail jumped about per cent to
27 ga on the announcement that the COM
pany's overdue steamer had arrived safe
at Honolulu.
Speculation at the Stock Exchange was
dull and featureless after l o'clock. The
undertone of the market continued weak,
but there was no pressure to sell, except
perhaps in the case of General Electric,
which ran off to 81 1-2 on further sales
to realize profits. The changes otherwise
were confined to the fractions. At mid
day the market was quiet.

this morning against Charles Morris.
colored man. charged with the murder OF
farmer named Douthert and his wife
near this place, more thun ten years ago.
The house in which the couple lived was
burned, and in the ruins their remains
were found with unmistakable evidence
of murder upon them.
Morris. who had formerly worked for
Douthert, was suspected, arrested, and
tried. but acquitted. Several years later
Morris was sent TO the State prison for
another offcnse. and not long ago, when
very sick and thinking he was going to die,
he confessed that he killed Farmer Douthert
and his wife.
He recovered. however, and in his defense
tried to prove that the alleged confession
was made in deliruim. A stock buyer, how
ever, identified money found in Morris
possession after the murder as having been
paid by him to Douthert for stock, and
this and other evidence led to his conviction

Frankfort, KY. March 13.-There was
considerable excitement here this morn
ing. Wood Dunlap, who was declared en-
titled to Kaufman's seat, arrived from
Lexington ana it, was said he would qualify.
One report had il that he had already
taken the oath There was also consider
able tail. OF an extra session being called as
soon as the legislature adjourns Tuesday.
Owing 10 compla ints bout the presence OF
the capitol policemen from Lexington,
Sheriff Armstrong decided. after CONSUL
tation with the governor, to summon a
posse to preserve the peace and allow the
police TO be withdrawn.
SHERIFF AT THE CAPITOL.
AT 1l:15 O'Clock the sheriff arrived at
the capitol with eight deputies. All ex-
cept Two regular deputies were prominent
Frankfort citizens, equally divided as to
politics. The sheriff told the city police
to remain in the rotunda. The rotunda
was cleared at 1920 O'Clock. Expelled
Senators Walton and James were in the
house.
When the sheriff and his deputies, acting
on the goyernnrs orders, went to clear the
senate cioa k room, they found sena tor b lack
burn there with a crowd. The sheriff told
the Senator he could not stay. but the latter
replied thai the sheriff had no authority over
him or anyone else.
Senator Bronston, hearing OF the in
cident, offered a resolution that the sheriff
and his deputies nc excluded from the
Senate chamber. The mayor also ordered
the sheriff out. The sheriff was then
summoned before the Senate. Mr.. Bron-
ston's speech in support Of his motion was
n bitter denunciation OF the governor
for sending the sheriff inside the cloak
room. He demanded the adoptio on of
his resolution to show the governor that
the Senate condemned such traitor
Gus and partisan interference with body
over which he had no control"
SHERIFF WITHDREW.
The sheriff and his deputies and the
sergeant L arms stood together in the
center OF the chamber during Mr.. BronstoR's
speech. Mr.. Salyars objected to the pro
posed insult to the governor" The sheriff
then left tie chamber, ~ wing he would goouf
and get written aut hurity from the governor,
who alone was his superior as an executive
officer. While he was gone the Bronston
measure was referred to the committee on
rules.
The Senators then left the chamber for
the House, to take part in the Joint ses-
sion which was soon called to Greer by the
lieutenant governor. Dunlap had not ap-
Deared TO qualify. Walton and James occu-
pied seats on the Republican side. The
rou call showed 12S. The reading OF the
journal was dispensed with.
The Republicans did not vote during
the beginning of the roll call, and 1t was
plain that Dunlap had declined to qualify.
While the roll call was in progress the
sheriff returned with a written request
from the governor that he, the sheriff. use
his influence as peace officer to preserve
the peace. lie and his deputies remained in
the rotunda.
The ballot resulted: blackburn, so; Car
Isle, 13; Buckner. l. No Republicans voted.
The joint session then ad jourbed.
1t begins TO appear that the Democrats
who are voting for Carlisle are now The
only people who really want an election.

ROW IN THE REICHSTAG.
Tumult Caused by an A ccusatiOn From
Socialist Rebel.

L
Socialist Bebel.
Berlin. March 13.-During the discussion
of the colonial budget in the Reichstag to-
day the chamber was the scene of tremen-
dous uproar and confusion. Herr Bebel,
one of the Socialist leaders, made a violent
attack upon the systems pursued in Africa
by DR.. Carl Peters, the explorer; Herr Leist,
formerly governor OF the Cameroons, and
Herr Wehlau, who was Lcist's substitute,
declaring them guilty of every specie OF
barbarity, including murder and rape.
He denounced the discipline pursued by
the courts in these cases, which had pro.
ceeded from the palace at Potsdam, and
declared that the mid sentences imposed
upon Lest and Wehlau was an act OF the
blackeA shame the world has ever seen.
He demanded that Dr. Peters be tried for
murder.
TIE remarks OF Herr Bebel created great
excitement. and the chamber soon drifted
into state of tumult, the socialists shouting
violent denunciauons OF the governments
course and the president vainly ringing his
bell for order.
DR.. kayser, director OF the colonial de-
partment, finally obtained n hearing and
declared that DR.. Peters had only executed
blacks in cases where the fety of the lives
and property OF Germans required such a
course. He was assured, he said, that the
lives OF the bla cks in the German colony were
as sa fe as those OF the whites.

Chicago, March 13.-Seven thousand men
and women, members OF fourteen local
unions of tailors, went out on strike this

turn to work they must have an increase in
wages of % per cent.
The strike affects not only the whole
sale houses whose cutters and trimmers are
