FOR A WAR OF CONQUEST.
American Churches Urge the President to Proceed Against All Spa nish Posses
 sions In the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, June 14.--The Amer jean churches are urging the president to proceed against all of the Spanish possessions in the Pacific, including the Ladrones, the Carolines and the Pelew islands. The church senti- ment is particularly anxious that the Carolines shall be brought un- der the American flag. A cabinet officer is authority for the state ment that the missionary organiza- tions have represented to the people that some years ago they spent over s1, 000 900 in the Caroline islands. The Spanish then drove them out and re- fused to allow them to continue their missionary work. They urge that now the islands should be taken by the United States, so that their work there can be resumed and religious freedom established.

A Complaint About Schedules

Clyo Ca, Jan. 31.-Editor Morning
News: We notice in your issue of Jan.
% a complaint from a resident of Bryan
county protesting against the poor accom-
mediation afforded them by the Plant Sys-
tenn. We, the patrons of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular Railroad, as far as the
Savannah river, can very properly SYM
pathize with them. For we think we can
venture to say that we are afforded even
worse accommodations by the Florida
Central and Peninsular than they are
For instance, we have only one train that
we can come from Savannah on, and that
is a freight train with two excuses for
coaches attached, which leaves at 5 D. m,
and which stays in the railroad yards
within sight of the city. for from one to
two hours. The schedule of this train is
two hours TO this point. We must either
take this train to reach the city in the
morning or take train which will put us
in at D. M, an hour too late to do any
business. Every attention is paid to the
vestibules, and the people who live along
the line and who really support the road
are not looked after at all No wonder
that the juries and the legislatures are not
favorable TO the railroads. Some of the
patrons of the roads have cause for COM
plant against them We shall report the
matter to the railroad commissioners, and
see If they cannot help us, Sufferers.

BLAND ALLISON ACT.
Friendly Suit in Chancery to Test
Its COnstitutiOnality.

Detroit, Mich. Jan. 31.-A friendly suit
in chancery was begun to-day in the Cir
cult Court at Pontiac to determine the
constitutionality of the Bland-Allison sill
yer act of 1878.
Stephen Baldwin, a Detroit capitalist,
purchased some land upon which there is
a mortgage held by Fred A. Baker, chair
man of the Democratic state central COM
mittee.
Mr., Baldwin rendered 1854 silver dollars
in payment of the amount due on the
shortage. Mr.. Baker declined to accept
silver dollars, unless enough of them were
rendered to equal at the present bullion
value of silver S64 gold dollars Accord.
ingly, suit was begun 10 obtain a decree
compelling Chairman Baker to cancel the
mortgage and accept the tender made.
Ex-Congressman Timothy Il. Tarsney is
compliments attorney and all the parties
are prominent silver men, and will carry
the case to the United States Supreme
Court in any event.
Chairman Baker says: II will contend be-
fore the courts that the Bland-Allison act
is unconstitutional because it did not pro-
vide for free coinage. 1t provided only that
the government should buy silver at its
deprecated price in gold and pocket the
seignoria ge-yes legalized the stealing of
the seignoriage."

One of the Youngest Confeder.tes

Waycross, Ga. Jan. Sf-Judge ]. l..
Sweat of the Brunswick Circuit at scarce
49, years of age, was mustered in his
uncle's cavalry company. His uncle had
declined TO receive him. and upon the adj
vice of a friend young Sweat was on hand
when the company was being enrolled.
He was in the rear of the line, and when
the proper time arrived he spured his
horse and rode into the ranks. When the
muster was completed he was a duly en-
rolled cavalryman of the Confederate
army. Judge Sweat was in his 18th year
when he left the army. He was never
conscripted, of course, being volunteer
under age
