Meeting Thursday.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13-At meeting to-day
of the Forum Club composed of about five
hundred of the most prominent colored citi-
zens of st. Louis, Prof. o. M. Wood, race
commissioner of the organization, delivered
an eloquent address on the subject of the
recent bloody massacres of negroes in the
Southern States. These, he said, should be
condemned in unmeasured terms by all
right-thinking people of the country, re-
gardless of race lines, and called for inter-
vention by the national government in the
interest of humanity. Resolutions were pre-
sented by Prof Peter II. Clark of the Sum-
ner High School. recommending the appoint
ment of a committee of seven to draft an
address to President Mckinley, calling his
attention to the defenseless condition of
the colOred citizens who are subjected in
the States in which they live to all forms
of violence and ask him to intervene in be-
half of humanity and good government.
The committee is instructed to circulate this
petition throughout the United States for
the purpose of securing signatures and CO.
operation of the colored citizens of the en-
tire country. A copy will be sent to each
United States senator and representative.

CUBAN RELIEF WORK.
General Appeal to BE Sent Out to Pa
tFiOtic America.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-In Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, tonight, meeting was
held to consider the present condition of
Cuba. Addresses were made by Rev. DR.,
Lyman Abbott. William Willard Howard,
Rev. Herbert NJ. Allen and others. Mr..
Howard described the condition of Cuba as
he had seen it, and pointed out that the
only remedy for the existing misery lay in
giving employment TO the poor. He intro
duced industrial relief among the Arme-
mans in Turkey during his two years work
as a relief commissioner among the Arme-
mans. Mr.. Allen. who was Mr. Howard s
associate in Armenian relief work, described
the industrial relief operations in Turkey
up to the present time. Resolutions were
adopted indorsing a plan for Cuban indus
trial relief as a practical and effective means
of helping the Cuban poor to help them
selves, by providing for them honest en-
ployment instead of indiscriminate gifts and
temporary relief.
Continuing, the resolutions recommend: :
THAT an undenominational committee be
formed TO procure funds with which to
carry the plan into effect. and we appeal to
all lovers of humanity throughout the
United States to join with us in giving to
this practical charity earnest encourage
ment and financial support, to the end that

THE W. C. T. U. WORKERS
EXCITING CONTEST BEGINS TODAY
ON THE TEMPLE QUESTION.
WirepuIIing for President, with All
Candidates Hopeful of Succeed
ipg Miss willard.

ST. PAUL Mimi, Nov. 13.-This was
quiet day among the w. C. T. U. dele
gates so far as convention work was con-
cerned. A number of delegates filled local
pulpits both morning and evening. But one
session CT the convention was held Miss E.
w. Greenwood, world and national superin-
tendent of the evangelistic department,
preaching at 2:30 o'clock at the Peoples
Church. The temple matter and election of
officers which promises so much excitement
Monday and Tuesday were kept as much in
the background as possible for subjects in
which all are interested. The temple mat
ter is due to come up later Monday after
noon when Mrs. Matilda r. Case, the
founder of the temple, will make her re-
port and seek to overcome the adverse de-
cision of the executive committee on the
subject
The polling of delegates for president con-
tinues actively, and everybody is confident
of winning. A very lively contest is prom
ised, the first move probably being an at
tempt to secure a secret ballot. Friends
of the temple believe they can gain mosi
by such a course, because of the timidity
of some of the delegates. The general
opinion has been that Mrs. L. NJ N.
Stevens, vice president at large and acting
president, would be unopposed in her cam
didacy for the place made vacant by the
death of Miss Frances Willard, but several
other candidates have been announced.
Mrs. Martin H. Durham, o. Iowa, one of
the temple trustees, and now state presi-
dent of Iowa, is a prominent candidate,
and her friends hope for help from the
friends of the temple. Another prominent
candidate is Mrs. G. b. Forbes, state presi-
dent of Connecticut. Mrs. SteVenson's res
ignation leaves the position of correspond
ing secretary vacant, and a number of
prominent workers have been mentioned
for the office. There is little canvassing
being done, and Miss Anna A. Gordon,
formerly Miss Wizards confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most prom
inent in the field. There seems no reason
to doubt that the other officers will be re-
elected.
The place of the next meeting has not
yet been decided upon, Aut it is probable
that it will be Seattle. There are a number
of Eastern cities that have invited the con-
vention to meet in the East, but the gen.
eral sentiment seems to be in favor of

CLEVELAND. o.. Nov. 13.-In an inter-
view tonight Senator Hanna said the tariff
would have to be revised to meet existing
conditions. THE war revenue measure" he
said, must be revised, but we will keep
many of the original features of the law,
simply because it is now necessary. Under
the old tariff law we are not getting much
revenue, because we are exporting instead
of importing, and something must be done
to meet these new conditions. We must have
new revenue measure. So far as 1 am
concerned favor putting duty on tea and
coffee. The revenues for the support of the
government must be raised in some way,
and the indirect is the best way, according
to my idea. When the people do not realize
that they are paying tax there is no COM
plant. Still it will be necessary to retain
some of the features of the war revenue
measure. The tax is now on the people, and
in some instances it is the proper method Of
taxation"

some of the best men who were long at

surgents to disband His idea is that when
the American authorities get control of the
other portions of the island they should give
out no rations and punish severely all thefts
of cattle and produce. He thinks too that
there may be some trouble with the insur-

Anxiety at Berlin to Prevent Suspi-

PARIS Nov. 13.-Among on-iookers here
the impression exists-thOugh it is not the
result Of any official statement-that the
Spanish peace commissioners will not con-
sent to a treaty which the American COM
missioners could sign. 1t seems almost pos
sible, also, that in the pitiable pressure to
which the Spanish commissioners are SUBJ
jected between their large creditors, who
are on the spot watching them. and the
stern attitude of the United States, the.
Spaniards may abandon their struggles and
leave the two forces to confront each other.
1t will not be decided until tomorrow
morning whether the next joint session is
TO be held tomorrow or on Tuesday. The
Spaniards it has been arranged, will in
form the Americans tomorrow morning
whether they need the day to prepare their
next memorandum If they want Monday
the meeting will take place on Tuesday.
Under the rules of procedure adopted by the
conference it is understood that the delib-
erations may not be Unexpectedly concluded
by either side.
The statement is printed here this even
Ing that the last memorandum from the
Americans is regarded by the Spaniards as
a virtual ultimatum. But, as a matter of
fact the Americans have not presented an
ultimatum save as their treatment of the
subjects in hand may be unanswerable. 1t
is only since Wednesday last that the Span
iards have begun to feel that the Americans
purpose taking over the Philippines, and
that, too, Y-.,,ut any assumption of Span
ish Indebtedness. AS they are now con-
vinced of this, il may be that Spain's next
presentment in conference will be the SUI
preme rally of her diplomatic, argumenta-
tive and tactical forces. 1t may even mark
the conclusion of all she has to say, but
If the rules of procedure are followed the
Americans would still have another pre-
sentation to submit.
Ever since Oct. 1 it has been within the
range of possibility that at any meeting an
open rupture might occur, and on one or
two occasions it might have been easily
