RACE QUESTION IN HOTELS.
Methodisss Pass a Resolution No
Caste IeccOgDtZed

CLEVELAND, o.. May II 1885, The
Methodist General Conference put itself
on record again on the race question this
morning by adopting a resolution intro
duced by the Rev. DIR. f. A. Monroe,
of Delaware, indorsing the treatment that
Cleveland hotels have accorded to all the
delegates, regardless of color and de-
manding that wherever it is decided to
hold the conference in the future a guar
antee be obtained of equal treatment
"A resolution was referred announcing
that the Methodist Church recognized no
color OF caste and stating that if the
conference elected a negro bishop it was
not to be considered class legislation.
A request for the holding of the next
General Conference at Saratoga Springs
Chairman D. H. Moore, of the Southern
Educational and Freedman's Aid Conn
mittee, reported a resolution stating that
IT was the sense of the Conference that
the name of the society be not changed.
After considerable debate the report was
adopted.
The Committee on Fraternal Union of
the Methodist Churches, which was APP
pointed four years ago, was requested
to report at once.
), The fact that the standing committees
have not reported yet almost brought the
conference to stop. There was no
business transacted, and a recess was
taken. During the recess the Rev. Dr..
=. B. GraW of New Jersey and Rev DR..
Lanaihan of Baltimore matched up a
scheme to have the elections occur this
week. Accordingly Mr.. Graw moved to
reconsider the vote of last week by which
May 1S was fixed as election day
The Rev. DR.. Buckley of New York
said that he thought that next Sunday
would ibe better spent by the delegates if

held that the delegates would electioneer
on Sunday if the elections were held on

NOT In GREAT PERIL.
The Case of the Competitors Men
ResemhIea That of Waller

WASHINGTON, May II, 1S96.-Previous
to the announcement made by the State
department of delay in the case of the
Americans captured on the Competitor
and sentenced to death by summary
court martial, all trustworthy information
here when divesfed of sensational sur
misses led to the conclusion that their
position was not so precarious as made
out to be by the earliest reports from
Havana. Well informed officials say their
case is in many respects similar to that
of ex-Consul Waller in Madagascar,
against whom, however, the evidence was
more of circumstantial character, yet
he was sentenced to penal servitude for
life, subsequently to be fully pardoned
upon the energetic insistence Of Secretary
Competitor affair, it is not now doubted,
will be as ultimately successful
Although the finding and sentence of
the Havana court martial received the
approval OF the admiral commanding the
, naval forces. in capital case such as
this, his endorsement has no effect be
proval to higher officials, Just as in our
own navy. all capital courts-martial SEN
tences pronounced upon any station, are
not put into operation until approved
by the President. The sentences Of the
Competitor prisoners were forwarded to
Madrid, where they were met by Secre-
the precipitancy and apparent prejudice
with which the extreme penalty was so
hastily imposed, and there the entire
matter is now under consideration, our
calm reflection either a revision of the
trial involving proper representation of
the defense will be forthcoming, or
Communication of sentence viii be granted.
There is, of course, some danger of
complications arising from the intemper-
ate language of the Spanish newspapers
based upon dispatches sent from the
United States, and consequent outbreaks
of the Spanish populace, but these condi-
tions are offset by the obligations under
which the existing Spanish Government
rests to President CleVeland's adrninistra-
ton for its conservative course in the
past few weeks, when Notwithstanding
the Overwhelming vote of both Houses
OF Congress. by which the will of the
people for recognizing belligerency was
proclaimed, no overt action in favor of
the revolutionists has come from the
Executive. In this connection it has
probably occurred to the Spanish Cabi-
net that had Ibelligerepcy been proclaim
ed three weeks ago when Congress de-
manded it, the summary sentence of
the Competitors captives would have
been utterly precluded by the plainest
tenetS of International law

free-for-all fight occurred on Virginia
avenue near West Side avenue, about
half-past twelve this morning. The weap-
ons used were fists and penknives. Thomas
Carey, 26 years old, of No. IA Hoadley
avenue, was walking along West Side
avenue when he was met by Frederick
and Henry Hepner, 20 and 26 years old
respectively.
All hards We're unconscious of any such
thing as a Sunday excise law being in
operation in this city. A row started at
once-reason unknown. Carey got the
worst of it and turned and ran up Vir-
ginia avenue. Here he met George Diego,
old; James Mallory, 2S years old, all of
No. l03 West Side avenue, and Thomas
Hurley 22 years old. of No. 22S Monticello
avenue He solicited their protection and
again started for his home.
When near West Side avenue the Hep-
ner brothers were again encountered. The
taller OF the two crossed the street, and
walking up to Carey promptly knocked
him down. Callahan interfered and started
to pummel Hepner. The smaller brother
hurried ed to his help and while Callahan
was busy with one brother the other was
busy stabbing Callahan with penknife
In short while all hands were engaged
IN the row, and things we're becoming hot
when the police arrived. The contests tants
were bundled into the patrol wagon and
removed to the station house.
Callahan had received a knife wound
over the left knee: Carey had been cut
over the right eye and injured on the
back of the neck. Mallory was damage
the most. He had received a slight frac-
ture OF the skull, and after being attended
by Dr. Bogardus was removed to the CITY
Hospital. Here he refused medical attend
anee and this morning left the hospital
without permission
The case was brought before Justice
Douglass this morning and was adjourned
until the result of Mallorys injuries could
be learned. Dego and Callahan were re-
leased this morning.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

A disastrous fire broke out this after
noon in the shipping department of the
big hay houses of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. at he east end of Jersey ave
nue. at the end of the gap. 1t consumed
the frame structure in a few minutes and
then spread to the warehouses of Wash
burne's cement works adjoining. Trucks
belonging to the Railroad company and to
the Armour Beef Company standing near
the blazing warehouses quickly caught
fire, and these were completely destroyed.
The flames crept to the railroad sheds
adjoining and very soon they were ablaze.
A general alarm was sent out and every
available engine was on the spot. Up to
the time of goin to press the firemen had
succeeded in combining the flames to a
limited area. 1t is estimated that up
wards of 100000 worth of damage has
been done.

WATER WILL BOTHER THEM.
Street and Water Board Expect to
Have a Lively Meeting.

There will probably be lively meeting
of the Street and Water Board this after
noon Water in its various forms, par
ticularly filtered, will be discussed. At
the last meeting of the Board Commits
sioner Boltwood introduced three resolu-
tiens which caused the Republican ma
jority considerable unvasiness. One pro-
vided for the dismissal of Engineer Yer
meule, a second for the appointment of
an expert on filtration and the third re-
called all action so far taken in cennec-
tion with the requirement of new sup
ply.
Those resolutions were not voted down,
but tabled. Today Commissioner Bolt
wood will move to have them taken from
the table and passed. A lively discussion
is anticipated, and all the members will
be, given an opportunity to place them
selves on record on the water question.
1t had been arranged that ex-Commission-
er Hooker was to. be appointed supervis-
ing engineer of the water wos4xs today
There is a hitch, however and the ap-
pointment will not be made. Commits
sioner Harding, it is said is opposed to
creating new office. Mr.. Hooker viii
probably get the office little later in the
season.
