condition except a few details that will
be considered by the congregations, com
mittees or pastors to-day and tomorrow
1t is said the churches will be able to
make good reports this year to the confer

II is not likely that there will be any
thing in the way of farewell sermons or
addresses by pastors to their congregations
to-day. Something may be said of the
close of the conference year and of the
progress that has been made, but most of
the churches viii have their pulpits sup

Of the board of missions will be held on
Wednesday and the opening session of the
conference on Thursday. There viii be no

delegates who viii attend from this dis
trict.

guished visitor to the city, viii preach at
Wesley Monumental Church this morning

Of the delight of the cougregatio favored
with his presence may be formed by read
ing the following from the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, referring to his adj
dresses at the conference in Augusta:
DR. Young J. Allen addressed the con-
ference, by request OF that body. on Fri
day az II o'clock. and again at the mis-
sionarE anniversary at o'clock In the
evening. Two addresses Of such magni-
tude and power, by The same man and in
one day we venture 20 say were never
delivered before in this state. If in any
other state. Many said that they had never
heard anything like st. The address in the
forenoon was on China Made Willing"

Democratic Testimony.

Democratic Testimony.
Judge Flemming, assistant secretary Of
the democratic committee, having been
seen at headquarters. was requested by
your committee to aid it in reviewing Mr..
Baboock's record in Congress on labor mat
ters and promised to do so, and kindly
marked all parts of the Congressional Rec
ord bearing on the issue. and We subse-
quently made notes on the lines suggested
by Mr. .Flemming, which are embodied in
the report.
"Mr Kerr was asked for an opinion on
Mr. Babcoeks record on labor matters and
said he did not think he could say much
either for or against him on this subject.
Mr.. Jas. l.. Norris. treasurer of the
democratic committee, on being asked II ne
could give us any Information on this sub
ject stated that he considered Mr.. Babcock
friend to labor and knew that he had aid
ed labor movements. He says he considers
him the best chairman the District OF Co
lumbia committee ever had.
After having weighed the evidence, with
due consideration, your commftte are COM
Representative Joseph w. Babcock to be an
enemy to labor.
I'VE realize that in justice to the COM
mittee and for the wellbeing Of the Central
Labor Union and organizations herein rep
resented we cannot AFFORD, as an organized
body, to unjustly assail any man.
1T is the usual custom for committees to
make recommendations, but owing to the
large amount of matter handled, We only
submit the facts in this case and leave it to
the sense and judgment of this body to do
what they think best In the premises. Re-
spectfully submitted, j. +. Mccormick,

Discussion of the Report.
1t will be recollected that the circular re-
ferred to was indorsed by the Central La
Dor Union and a resolution adopted direct
ing the president and secretary Of the body
to sign 1t and to officially attach the seal OF
the organization, SO that 1t might be circu-
in Mr.. Babcock's district. Later, however
those officials declined to sign the circular
on the ground that it had been ascertained
by them that 1t was to be circulated by the
democratic congressional committee. The
appointment of an investigating committee
followed, and the report of the latter came
up last evening for discussion.
The discussion of the report Of the COM
mittee was, 1t was stated, confined mainly
to the members Of the committee, who re-
piled to the remarks of Mr.. Spohn. He OBJ
ing that its object appeared to be TO place
Mr.. Babcock in the most favorable light
possible and to censure himself He fur
ther charged that the report was more In
the nature Of an excuse for Mr. Babcock
and iustified him in all that he had done
Affecting the interests Of labor. He assert
ed that the language Of the report was
such that he was convinced that the COM
ruftfse was partial to Mr.. Babcock.
The mennbsrs OF the committee denied
what Ma. Spohn said sane declared that
they had aimed to make an impartial in
