DIR. TRACTS BODY FOUND.
Recovered FTicm Saranac River-Miss-
 ing Since April 1.

Saranao Lake, May 17.-The body of Dr. Robert s. Tracy of New York was found in Saranac river today.
 Since Dr. Tracy was lost in the woods on the night of April 1, the country far and wide and the lake and river have been searched by gudies and experienced w-pdzmen, without the least trace being found of him save a break in the ice of the river near the place where he was last seen. The doctor was an inmate of Dr. Trudeau's hospital, wi1er he had gone to seek resi- and protection against threatened pulmonary trou- ible- On the night of his disappear ance he had been attending a social gathering in Saranac village It was midnight when he started cn foot and alone to ahe hospital, a mile and a half away. Nothing was ever heard of him aftertward.
 Parties of guides searched the woods and examined the river with powerful electric lights, certain that ha had lost his way, and either per- ished from exposure in the snow, ol in the darkness sIIayeld into the hal, frozen river. A wire screen was stretched below the village to catch anything ficating down when the ice broke up. Net until yesterday did these efforts bear fruit.
 Dr. Tracy was 27 years old and a son of J. Evarts Tracy of the law firm of Evarts, ChOate & Beaman. He was graduate of Yale and of the col lege ] of physicians and surgeons in this city. He served term on the staff of the New York hospital and tho Sloane Maternity hospital.

PORTO RICAN REMOVED.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May IT, General Davis who succeeded General Henry as military governor of Porto Rico two days ago, learned that Fran cisco Aetna, secretary of state, was to visit Washington on leave of ab- sence, and that 1t was his purpose while there to represent the Spanish bank in an endeavor to secure the re- newal of the monopoly of the note issue. Acuna was summoned by General Davis and asked if it were true Acuna answered that was the object of his visit. General Davis then informed Acuna that to represent as an attorney a corporation whose business was with the government was incompatible with the duties of his position as secretary of state, and asked for his immediate resignation.
 The office has not yet besn filled. Manuel Rossy, the leader of the re- publican party, has been asked to accept the place, but still has the mat ter under consideration. A

Kansas City, May 17-An address
 to the populists of the country was is- sued here tonight by the national or
 ganlzation Of the peoples party with
 the indorsement of the National Re-
 form Press association. These two
 bodies whose common object is to keep | the populist party in the middle Of the road, avoiding fusion with other political parties, has been in session
 here since Tuesday morning and the adoption of the address concluded their Iabcrs
 All was not harmony among these nliddle-o -of-the-road leaders, and only after a long and heated discussion was an address agreed upon. A hard fight was made to secure the endorse menI1 .cf Wharton Barker and Ignetius Donnelly for president and vice-pres- 1 ident, in 1900, but this the commitlee refused tc recommend. Instead | thorough organization of the middle l of-the-rcaders in every section of the country is urged with the understand ing that they shall enter the next national campaign with the present populist organization, but that wherever fusion shall gain the day, whether county, state CT nation, the middle-of-the-roade shall bolt and begin an active campaign to carry out their principles. The alleged fusionisu tendencies of Marion Butler, the chair man of the Populist committee, are provided against in a clause which authorizes the national committee to call national convention if they shall be convinced that the national chair man or committee are playing into the hands of the fusionists.

RESJLT OF RACE HATE.
Bishop Hood Says Politics Is at the
 Bottom of Negro Lynchings.

New York, May 17-At the Afro American M E. conference today RislElt Rev. J. w. Hood, D. D. IL. D., presiding bishop of the New York an- nual conference, delivered the annual address, taking as his subject, ''The State of the Country In the course of his remarks, the bishop referred to the recent lynchings in the south, say ing:
 ''I bcldly assert that these outrages originate in the deep seated race hate in the communities where they occur. If there are black men so beastly as to be guilty of the horrid crime of which they are often charged, that is no excuse for the lynching, because in any clear case against the black man punishment is certain and swift by legal process. There are no veXatiouS delays in his case. I am entirely sat- isfed that some negroes have been le- gally put to death who were innocent of crime. If the negro escapes he must prove himself innocent beyond the shadow of doubt. I am entirely satisfied that in some cases the crime charged had no foundation in fact, but was made up for the purpose of jus tifying the race hate.
 'fA peculiar kind of politics is at the b0IbCm of nearly all these out rages-po.itics which has for its pur- pcse the denial to the black man of the civil and political rights whicn are enjoyed by others. In most cases

Manila, May 17-Although the reb- els still threaten San Fernando in considerable force, large numbers of the natives, the majority having fam Mics with household goods are moving daily to the towns inside the American lines, at Apalit, especially. Many of the richer Filipinos are coming to work in the rice fields.
 The latter show respect for AmerI can sovereignty by removing theil hats to passing trains. Owing to the bad conditions of the wagon roads, the work of repairing the railroad is being rapidly pushed. All the broken bridges have been trestled and only a few excavations remain to be filled up. Trains will undoubtedly be running through to San Fernando in a few days. The only natives there are some Filipinos from Macabe, who are trading with our soldiers.
 At daylight today Lieutenant Hill with twenty-five men of the Fourth infantry concealed in trenches near Pasig was attacked by a force of rebels, who evidently imagined they could capture one of our outposts, be- cause only a few shots had been fired by the American force A few volleys put the enemy to flight the rebels los ing five mem killed and a number wounded
