vICE-BREEDING CONDITIONS.
The Pitfalls That Beset the COlOred
People.

People.
With view of benefiting the race and
ameliorating their social conditions by the
suppression of vice, the colored ministers
of the city met the Commissioners this
morning to discuss ways and means to
bring about this end.
DR.. Alexander Crummell detailed the cir
cumstances which he thought We're in a
large measure responsible for this condi-
ton. Reforms were necessary to correct
them. Alley tenements SHOULD be abolish
ed, for it was from these that crime
sprung. He called attention to the large
number of colored strangers in the city
who came after every social struggle in
the south and who were wholly dependent
This should be stopped. The saloon. which
took from the poor colored man his every
cent and left him without the necessaries
of life, should also be considered as an
important factor in The matter
Commissioner Ross responded briefly. He
thought such movements as that inaugu-
rated would be productive of much good
Alley tenements certainly should be reg,l-
lated, and he thought bill should be pre-
sented at the next session of Congress
having this in view.

premium, so much interest was taken in
the trials.
This is only the second time in the rec
objection of the venerable chief of police
that the corporation court room has been
used to hold a session of the police court,
the former occasion being when the pre-
llminary trial of John Downey for killing
Jim Burnett in front of Murtaugh's saloon
on South Royal street was held there by
Mayor Beckham.
Guilty in getting the witnesses together, the

When Sergeant Smith went to sum up
his witnesses he found that though sum-
mcned, great many of his most import

absentees for contempt of court. Owing

Col. McMichael Nominated for treasurer
of the City of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Aug. 24-For the first
time since the control Of the republican
organization in Philadelphia was
wrested from Senator Quay, a regular
republican convention representing ev-
cry faction in this city to-day nominat-
ed with practical unanimity pro-
nounced Quay partisan, by naming Col
Clayton McMichael, proprietor Of the
Philadelphia North American, and a di-
rector of the Associated Press, who
is one Of the recognized Quay leaders in
eastern Pennsylvania as a candidate
for city treasurer.
Colonel McMichael said to-day that
he entered the contest only because the
friendship of all factions united upon
him to perfect the republican harmony
which puts Senat tors Quay and Penrose
in what is regarded as undisputed con-
troll of the republican state organiza-
tion.
All of the newspapers, republican,
democrat a. i independent, make COM
plimentary comment upon Colonel Nc
MichaePs selection, referring in eulo-
CYSTIC terms to his career in politics and
in active journalism.

Inousands OF Persons Searching Streams
of the State fof the Precious Gems.
Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 24.-New dis
coveries of valuable deposits of pearls
in lakes and rivers in Arkansas have
added greatly to the eXcitemnt already
existing over similar discoveries and
to-day thousands of persons are wad-
ing through the water In different parts
of the state searching for precious
gems. The latest and most sensa tional
discoveries were made in the Arkansas
river and the creeks, lakes and bayous
near Little Rock, where pearls have
been picked up ranging in value from
ten to eight hundred dollars each
Hundreds of people are working the
Saline, White and others rivers and
many valuable finds have been report
ed. Additional discoveries were made
on the Fource river yesterday and hum
dreds Of people are swarming to that
stream.
1t is claimed there are fifty-seven
streams in the state that are rich in
pearls of large size. It has now de-
veloped that in the course of a survey
made in White river in 1895 FIVE thous-
and dollars worth of pearls were col
lected by members of the survey Re
cent discoveries lead to the assertion
that never in history were so many
and such large pearls discovered.
Pearls of from thirty to fifty grains
weight are no uncommon things to
find in the possession of country lads
who fish for pearls for pastime. The
color of the pearls found is that of a
saline rose and the texture is first class.

borrowing from bankers or Others
The resolution was adopted by the
aldermen.
The mayors two communications
were then read and at the conclusion
of the reading Alderman Rourke moved
that the board Of aldermen recede from
it's former action in passing the resolu-
tion ordering street hardening and
sanction the mayors veto. The COM
munication was, however, tabled on
motion of Alderman Chillingworth, and
no further action in regard to the reso-
luton was taken.
On motion of Alderman Petrie the
second communication in regard to the
transfer from street hardening appro-
priations was also tabled.
After minor matters of business had
been disposed of the board adjourned.
the entire meeting not lasting more
than thirty-five minutes.
The action taken by either board last
evening in regard to Councilman
Whites two resolutions and the may
ors vetoes of them will not change in
the least the effect of the vetoes in kill
ing the resolutions. 1t had been hoped
by those who favored the resolutions
that enough members would be present
at last nights meeting of the court OF
common council to pass the resolutions
over the mayors veto, but not enough
members of either board were present
to give the required number of votes to
do this, even if every man present mad
voted to pass over the vetoes.

OUR CLAIMs AGAINST SPAIN.
Probable That the Screws Will Not be
Applied for Some Time.

London, Aug. 25.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
The conference between United States
Minister Woodford, Ambassador Porter
and Ambassador White has failed to
arrive at any definite decision. General
Woodford's task is extremely delicate.
He has been instructed to put the
screws upon Spain, but to avoid any
step leading to an open rupture. Much
depends, therefore, upon Spain's atti-
tude and upon the amount of support
she receives from Europe.
"On both these points the reports of
Ambassador White and Ambassador
Porter were unfavorable to the Ameri-
can case The Spanish government is
forced by public opinion to continue the
policy of Canovas and the sentiment
of both France and Germany is decid-
edly hostile to American interference.
Under these circumstances it is prob
able that until Minister Woodford Is
able to feel his way more clearly the
American policy will be watered down
to the maintenance of the claims of
American citizens in Cuba set off by
spain's claims with regard to fflibus-
tering"

PRESIDENT ar SYRACUSE.
Delivers an Appropriate and Felicitous
Address From a Car Platform.


Syracuse, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The presi-
Dental party arrived here at 11:15 a.
M They were greeted by five hundred
people. The president was greeted with
cheers and after shaking hands with
all who could reach him, said, in re-
sponse to cries for a speech:
my Fellow Citizens: am extreme
ly pleased to visit your city and appre-
ciate your generous welcome This is
a year when in a very marked degree
the patriotism is being exalted and
patriots are being honored. In the
month of April in the city of New York
the people of that great Metropolis ded-
icated a magnificent mausoleum to that
greatest of all the great soldiers of the
civil war-General Ulysses S. Grant
In May following, in the city Of Phil
adelphia, there was unveiled a splendid
equestrian statue to that greatest SOL
dier of the revolution, General George
Washington, and only a few days ago
in that great inland metropolis in the
state of Illinois, there was unveiled a
magnificent monument to that great
soldier, the hero of two wars, General
John A. Logan.
This week the Empire state of New
York Is laying at the feet of the largest
patriotic body in the world it's tribute
of affection for the splendid services
rendered in the civil war by the Grand
Army of the Republic. We cannot ex-
alt patriotism too high; we cannot en-
courage too much love of country, for
my fellow citizens, as long as patriot
ism exists in the hearts of the American
people so long will our matchless in
stitutions be secure and permanent. I
thank you for your most cordial greet
ing and bid you good morning"

THE ooAL srRIKE WIZ GO ON.
Miners and Operators Fail to Agree Upon
Terms FOR Ending the Struggle.


Terms FOR Ending the Struggle.
Pittsburg, Aug A,-The final ar
rangement to arrange a settlement of
the coal strike has proven failure, and
the conference adjourned without date.
The miners representatives did not re-
cede from their original proposition.
President Ratchford insisting that
nothing but the 50 per cent rate could
possibly be accepted,
The operators were firm, but every
argument of the mine owners was met
by the miners leaders, and it was de-
cided to end the conference.
President Ratchford says: 1--WE have
disagreed. Every proposition remains
unchanged. Besides our proposition to
arbitrate we made them second one
along the lines of bringing about a
general conference of miners and oper-
ators of all the mining states. They
refused to lend their efforts in that di-
rection, and the strike will be contin-
ued"
Immediately after the close of the
morning conference ]. B. Borg called
meeting of operators to discuss and
outline a line for future consideration.
At this meeting the miners ultima
tum to return to work at the SO per
cent. rate was rejected. The opera
tors will now carry out the plan adopt
ed at the Cleveland conference. If the
old men will not accept their terms new
ones will be employed.
