Mr.. Lee for Congress.

Mr.. Blair Lee, the Democratic
nominee for Congress, for the Sixth
Congressional District. is young law
yer Of marked ability, and unhesita-
tingly announces his intention TO take
the nomination, and endorses without
hesitation the Chicago platform. Mr.
Lee is a resident of Montgomery coun-
ty, nephew Of the late Montgomery
B air and universally respected by men
of all political parties who know him.
His high standing in his county aud
in the District Of Columbia, where he
has practiced law for some years,
make him a most desirable candidate
at this time. Mr. Lee has never been
identified with any Of the political
factions in Maryland politics and did
not seek the present nomination. Mont
gomery selected Mr.. Lee "a her
representative, and as all the dele
gates at the Oakland Convention
were ready to recognize such Gains.
the nomination was made with
out trouble 1t was more than unfair
for the Sun to state that Mr.. Williams
was defeated for the nomination through
the influence Of Senator German, but
this we will not discuss, as the SUMS
position is well understood in this
State. Mr.. Lee deserves the support
IF every Democrat as well as every Re-
publican who is tired of the one sided
legislation which we have had for the
past twenty years.

CONSIDERABLE speculation is in
dulged in about Baltimore, on account
Of the threatening letters said to have
been sent TO the employees Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. Surely
there must be some mistake regarding
this matter, and we do not hesitate to
say that we are inclined to take but
little stock in all such reports. We re-
call TO mind condition Of affairs that
once existed in the State of Virginia
1t is said that prominent railroad had
been in the habit Of illuminating their
employees, and had sought to make all
people doing business with them vote
as the railroad people desired. 1t was
even claimed that ear loads Of negroes
had been run into Kentucky and Ohio
through the agency of this road. At
last things got to be so pronounced,
that the people Of Virginia served nc-
tice upon the road that they would
make this stare issue if they did not
stop interfering with the rights of the
people to cast their ballots according to
their own wishes. The feeling was SO
bitter and the determination to make
the contest SO evident that there was
an agreement reached through number
of influential gentlemen, who had been
selected to present the case to the rail-
road officials.

Haffner Deposeth Thursday.

DR.. Hafner, in talking of the con-
ventlon proceedings recently, said:
ask the Republicans of the Sixth
Congressional District to withhold
Judgment until the convention at Oak
land disposes OF the matter.n
1t would be just as nonsensical to
state that "the moon was made ont Of

political parties have formed their
opinions of the proceedings of the con-

HE WAR IN CUBA.
Further Particulars Of the Defeat of
Gen. Isclsn's Troops.


New York, May A special dis
patch TO the Herald from Havana says:
All Havana is anxiously discussing
the battle in the mountains In Pinar
del Rio province. No further details
have been received here as the steamer
Triton has not arrived from Bahia
Honda with the wounded. It is be-
lievcd that the insurgents who per-
sistently attacked Gen. Iuclan's troops
far back from Cacarajicara TO
the sea, were led by Macco in person.
The stronghold stormed by lnclan's
forces was not, properly speaking,
fort, but an old ranch on top of the
stony hill at Cacara iieara, whose sides
form precipitous descent to the road.
which winds through bold rocks, and
is not wide enough for a column to
spread out at advantage. There is
little timber or brush around. The
insurgents fortified the road in two
places with barricades, one above the
other, with the intention of prevent
ing the Spanish troops from reaching
the hills where the main rebel camp Is
located. The officials say the insur-
gents fought desperately, and the re-
suits given prove that they had every
advantage of situation. They poured
down shot from above upon the troops,
who were practically shut in cul de
sac in the ravine.
1t is supposed the rebels were sent
from the point of attack to notify
Antonio Maceo, who hurried forward
TO attack Inclan. The official report
saws that he was repeatedly repulsed.
Gen. Weyler especially commends the
conduct of the artillery officers, who
covered Inclan's rear guard. No ex-
planation is made of Gen. Bernals fail
ure to arrive to cooperate with In
clans forces.
The report adds that If Gen. Bernal
had not mistaken the part he was to
play in the battle, Gen. lnclan would
not have had to leave "the murderous
incendiaries not sufficiently punished
for taking up arms against the beloved
king of Spain"

THE WOMEN'S BATTLE
For Admission to ths Methodist
Episcopal General Conference.
COMMITTEE 0s tllsIHIlIry REPORT,
Through Secretary Monroe, Declaring
the Constitutional Right Of Women
70 Membership Minority Report
Presented By Rev. Neeley.

CLEVELAND, o., May AT the morn
'uP session of the Methodist Episcopal
quadrieauift Conference, after devo-
tional exercises, tlshd2 siefriIl an
nouneed that the order of the day was
the report of the committee on eligibil-
ity.
Secretary David 5. Monroe read II
communication frdnl The women dele
gates from the NORTH indiipa And
Ohio conferences, They said that,
while they firmly believed that women
had the right to be aamittei to the
conference, they respectfully WITH
drew their right, in the interest OF
harmony. They thanked the cham
pions Of their cause, but said they
could not consent to have protracted
struggle over their rights. II WAS
signed by three of the four women
delegates, who received stunning
bow at the hands Of the champions of
the women's rights.
Lydia A. Trimbles name was not
signed to the document and the wom-
ems champions rallied The secretary
read the majority report, which de-
clared that women had constitu-
tional right to membership in tho con-
ference.
DR. A. q. kynett, WHO is leading the
fight for the women, made d brilliant
speech iu favor of the adoption OF the
report. II was historical account OF
the question, and was a masterful pre-
sentation of the women's side OF the
question.
Rev. DIR. Neeley, Of Philadelphia,
read the minority report, II said that
the minority had carefully inquired
into the question and had found that
the women possessed no rights In the
conference whatever Rev. DIR. Nee
lev made fervid speech in favor OF
the minority report. His chief point
was that women could only be admit
ted by a change in the constitution
"That could only be done" he said
"by thrce-quarter vote of the mem
bers of the annual conferences and the
approval OF the general conference.
DR.. Neeley moved to substitute Tho
minority for the majority report. Thi'
was lost.
Rev. Dr. George r. Mains, of Brook
| lyn, said. "This Is one OF the graves
times in the history of Methodism
The question of women to-day in thu
world threatens the very civilization
We can not afford to make this chang
except in the most conservative man
ner" lie was satisfied that the grca
cause of Methodism would suffer |
women were admitted, and that the Law
of the church positively denied then
admission.
Other vigorous speeches for an
against women were made.

ANOTHER EXPEDITION
Belisved to Have Been Successfully Started
for Cuba.

PHILADELPHIA, May A dispatch
from Atlantic City says that Sunday at
noon 20 men, none of whom were
known here, were taken on board four
boats and rowed out to an unknown
steamer which had stopped a mile off
shore. As soon as the strangers were
nut on board the mysterious craft made
off with all speed to the southwest, 1t
was learned later that the strangers
placed on board the steamer came here
from Philadelphia. The men carried
no baggage. The life-saving crew
think the steamer is one Of the boats
employed in the southern fruit trade,
which are being used extensively for
filibustering purposes. Steamers In
regular commission rarely come within
sight of the coast at this point. The
general opinion among sea-faring men
Is that another Cuban expedition has
successfully got away, and that the
steamer already had on board arms
and ammunition.
