FOR THE NEGROES.
II Brought Him Seventeen Years I'm.

lie Receives 35,iO3 stripes from n
strap Remarkable Career.

The world has not produced more
heroic character than Rev. Calvin Fair
bank. who died recently at his home in
Angelica. y. u. aged So years. lie was
one OF the most noted of the famous
abolitlonists who conducted the ''un.
foreground railroad before the war.
but. unlike his associates. he suffered
with the slaves and knew what 1t was
to feel the lash. During his lifetime
Mr.. Fairbank aided forty-seven slaves
10 escape from Virginia and Kentucky.
not one Of whom was ever recaptured.
For this he was twice imprisoned In
Kentucky. in all seventeen years and
four months. He was frequently beat.
en- by the prison oversccrs. and during
eight years of his last term. from March
/, 1854. TO March I. 1862. he received
3J.105 stripes from a leather strap fif-
teen to eighteen inches long and one
and a half inches wide aud from one
quarter to three.clghths of an inch
thick.
This was during the period when
Zebulon Ward and J. W. South were In
charge. and the whipping grew out Of
the inability OF Mr.. Fairbank to per-
form the task assigned him. His daily
task. timed by the hour. was 20S yards
OF sacklng. or 31.44O shots Of the shuttle
by hand. He could never weave more
than 16o yards. The result was that he
was whipped every day except Sunday
and the Fourth of July. He was never
whipped less than twice day. and in
most cases four times. The number Of
stripes ranged from 55 to 10S. according
10 the whim of the overseer. Some.
times SO terrible were the decorations
OF the cuts on his bare body that the
walls OF the prison were spattered with
flesh and blood.
Mr.. Fairbank was born in the woods
Of Wyoming County. New York. Nov.
3, 1916. He united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in boyhood, and In
1874. the year that the church divided
on the question Of slavery, he became a

WILL AFFECT ALL EUROPE
St. James Gasetts's Opinion Regarding
spanish-American War.
Does Not Believe Much In the Talk
of nm Anglo. XOn
Alliance.

LONDON, April 22.-The st. James Ga
zette this afternoon, discussing the inter-
ests of spectators of the coming hostilities,
says:
Taking for granted. President McKin-
leys sincerity in saying the United States
do not desire conquest of territory. the fact
remains that the United States, which call
themselves America, are engaged In en-
deavoring to expel a European power from
her foothold in the new world. This can
hardly happen without giving Increased
force to the sentiment which Mr.. Olney ex-
pressed in such crude terms; In his letter to
the Marquis Of Salisbury, and the war can
hardly end without affecting the general
position of European powers profoundly
be it's course what 1t may"
Referring to the possible action of
Europe. the St. James Gazette says: Spain
has done something to put herself right
with public opinion IN Europe, and, no
doubt she. to some extent. Is fighting In
common cause. II she gains success and
proves herself capable of making head
against the United States a. sea, thus in
dicating the presence of a weakness In the
American navy not hitherto suspected, the
disposition of the powers to intervene will
be greatly strengthened"
There is a great deal Of billing and COO
ing among emotional Anglo-Saxons at pres
ent. In the United States there is a GER
tain amount of gush, probably as sincere
as the hysterical emotion excited by Bry
ans hashy cross of gold metaphor. Here
there are always people who gush when
America is concerned, but these waves OF
emotion come and go. Deep-rooted feel
iags of dislike and substantial interests
don't.

VOLUNTEER ARMY BILL.
Passed by Both Houses and Sent
the President.

Passed by Both Houses and Sent to
the Prcsideat.
At 12:17 pm the House adopted the con-
ference report on the volunteer army bill.
The Senate later agreed to the report IL
vas then sent to the President.
The conferees of the two houses on the
volunteer army bill reached an agreement
on the volunteer army bill before Congress
convened today. According to this agree
ment the Senate receded from the first
amendment concerning the time In which
the organized militia shall serve, but the
time for which all volunteers are to be en-
listed is reduced from three years to two
The Warren amendment authorizing the
President to organize Independent troops
was retained, but the number was limited
to 1900. The Senate receded from its
amendment making 1t compulsory for the
regimental and company militia officers to
receive their commissions from the govern
ors of their respective states and leaving 1t
optional. as fixed by the House.
The Senate also receded from Its amend
ment attaching an engineer officer to the
staff Of each brigade commander. All the
other Senate amendments, reducing the
rank Of staff officers, etc, were agreed to.
The Senate went into executive session
Immediately on convening today in order
to allow the conference report on the vol
unteer army bill to be acted upon before
the announcement of Senator Walthall's S
death. in order that adjournment might
be taken Immediately after the announce
ment. The desire was out of respect to
the senator's memory to avoid making any
record of business on account of the Sena-
tors death.
No business beyond that connected with
the army bill Vas attempted in the ex-
ecutive session. The senators gathered in
groups discussing the war situation when
rot engaged on pe bill 1t was stated
that the doors We're closed merely for the
purpose of avoiding the appearance of
transactirg business prior to the announce
ment of the death of Senator WalthaH
and not for other business than that con-
Lected with the army bill.
Senator Hawley moved the. adoption of
the report Of the conferees and made
brief explanation of the changes. There
was no opposition and the bill was soon
disposed of.
There was, however, considerable de-
lay, which was caused by the fact that 1t
was necessary that the bill should be en-
rolled and compared before being signed,
SO that the executive session continued for
about two hours
The report having been agreed to before
the folmal notification to the Senate Of
the appointment of the conferees, the an
nouncement of their appointment was
made while the Senate was in executive
session End after the actual acceptance of
the report by the House.

In short time. however, when sufficient
troops are ready a forward movement will
be made by both the navy and army. In
the meantime 1t is believed by the admin
istration on well founded information that
the insurgents will harass Blanco and his
soldiers to desperation.
The present situation is likely to largely
swell the ranks Of Gomez's armies. He
will get plenty OF ammunition now, and
will become bold enough to march almost
to Havana. With Gomez in the rear and
starvation in front. Blanco will have to
surrender or begin an attack on the fleet.
The administration rejects the idea that
Spain will be able to carry succor OF aid
to Bianco by warships or vessels of any
kind.
