Lynchlngs Denounced by the Negro
Conference

New York, April 27.-The African
Methodist Episcopal conference, in ses-
sion at Jersey City today, adopted res
olutions denunciatory Of the lynchings
in the south, declaring that mob vio-
lence was entirely out of harmony with
human reason and that instincts of the
lynchers were below animals of the
lowest type.
The address Of Bishop Alexander
Walters, yesterday, against lynching,
was endorsed as the sentiment Of the
New Jersey conference. The confer
ence calls pon the white people of the
south, who favor honor, law, order
and good government, to assert their
influences in the salvation of their own
honor in the eyes of the civilized peo-
pie Of the world, by doing all they
can to put a stop to lynchings.
The conference put itself on record
as being against all crime, and ex-
pressed qualification at the triumph of
the Americans in the war with Spain,
as it means advanced civilization. The
conference expressed regret at the los
of life in the Philippines, but held tna-
the United States should show its SUI
premacy.

A Biz Crush at Charleston

Colonel w. j. Woodward, quarter
master OF the North Carolina division,
u. G. ", is uneasy, lest some of our
veterans and others who intend TO go
to Charleston to attend the great con-
federate reunion may 10th to 18th, will
not be able to get accommodations, I'M
less they secure them at once. Some
time ago he engaged headquarters at
the Mills House for Major VIM. l.. De-
Rosset, of the North Carolina division,
and his staff. He only got rooms for
fifty and the proprietor of the Mills
House writes him that there are no
more rooms in the house to offer. Peo-
pie who intend to take in the reunion
should therefore engage accommoda-
tons at once.

The Guests of Honor at a Grant MemO-
rial Banquet I'm Pittsburg

Pittsburg, April 27-Politics gave way
the Americas Republican Club in hon
or Of the birthday of General Grant
tonight, and instead of the names of
such prominent republican leaders
among the speakers as Mckinley, Har-
risen, Reed and Sherman, the army
of homer were General Joseph Wheeler
and Admiral Winfield Scott Schley. The
dinner was held at the Hotel Shenley,
and in many respects was the most sue
cessful ever given by the club. Covers
were laid for 365 and had there been
room, probably twice this number Of
tickets would have been sold.
Preceding the dinner, the distinguish
ed guests held a reception which last
ed more than an hour and it was long
after the time fixed for the banquet
when the guests filed into the banquet
hall to the inspiring strains of the
STARS and Stripes"
Hon. c.. l.. Magee was chairman of
the dinner table and Clarence Bur-
leigh, city attorney, was POSTMASTER.
Major General Wheeler responded to
the toast Grant and Rear Admiral
Schley replying to Our Navy"
During the afternoon General Wheel
er was asked if the report was true
that he had been assigned to the de-
partment of Texas. Il hope not" he
replied. Il want to go to the Philip
pines. There are several good fights
left in me yet, and 1 hin I could
serve my country to the best advantage
in active service in the field. 1 have
not given up hope of being sent to
Manila. Have you any news from
LaWtOn?"
The general was shown the headline
in a newspaper and chuckled when he
read that the Americans had just
gained a signal victory I'VE the Philip
pinos. General Wheeler said that he
had great faith in the volunteers in SER
vice in the east.
An effort was mad to get an express
sion from Admiral Schleye on Admiral
Kautz's letter, but he simply waved
the question away with a smile and
with gestures signified that he did
not care to open his mouth while such
a subject was under discussion.
General Wheeler was accompanied
to Pittsburg by his daughters. The
distinguished party will return to
Washington tomorrow, except General
Wheeler, who goes west.

Over Contentious and Law Suits for
Omces-The supreme Court Expected
TO Decide the Public Printing Case In
Favor Of the Fusiontsts-Democrattc
Penftentfary Directors 20 Resign
Messenger Bureau,
Raleigh, y. c., April q.

Raleigh, y. C., April u.
There are stirring times here in a
political way; suits and counter-suits;
the ~fusionists moving heaven and earth
to hold office; the democrats trying to
GUST them.
The case Of D.. H. Abbott against Z.
C. B~eddingfield, TO try title TO the po-
sition of corporation commissioner, goes
over until h July term Of Wake su-
perior court. Abbott says it is desired
that he shall admit that the figure So
was written over the figure "4' in the
ratified bill abolishing the railway COM
mission after the bill had been rati-
fed. He declines to make the admis-
sion ard says hat while the act was
prepared for ratification on the 4th Of
March it was overlooked until the 9Th
and then the figure was changed and it
was ratified. The secretary of state
says he receipted for the act March
9TH. 1t is an extremely interesting case.
The revenue collector was notified
today Of the seizure at Greensboro and
GOldsboro Of cigars with counterfeit
revenue stamps made by Jacobs & Co.
Both the old and the new peniten-
tiary boards met today-fusionist and
democrat. After a long caucus of the
y a 1851 1llSII liS AOIC "a ~ d
large majority in favor Of resigning.
The designations are expected tomor-
row. The fusionists can get no money
save upon democratic applications and
signature. 1t is not in the least prob
able that the p~enitentiary "a make
both end meet this year and next
year.
The democratic board Of agriculture
has removed all the fertilizer inspectors
save two, to take effect May 1st. 1t is
said the fusionists have seventeen in
sDectors.
1t is learned from the superintendent
Of health Of this city that up to date
from Is 10 so per cent. of the people
here have been vaccinated.
r. c. Rivers, who was for some years
manager of Senator Buffers paper
here, The Caucasian, becomes chief
clerk to the state auditor Upon the re-
tirement of j. A. Sims, of Concord.
1t is the expectation Of the fusion
lists that the supreme count will next
Tuesday file an opinion in favor of the
Capital Printing Company as the pub
lie printer. Many democrats so expect.
a republican attorney said today the
decision would be in favor of the COM
pany and against Edwards & Brough-
ton and E. NJ. Uzzell, who are now the

The Presidents Admiration for Cosh-
Ian

Philadelphia, April 27.-An authentic
statement was made this afternoon af-
ter his arrival in the city that Presi-
dent Mckinley has no intention of re-
moving Captain Coghlan from the
command of the United States steam
ship Raleigh. The president, it was
stated, reports to the contrary not
withstanding, has not eve considered
any such action, and has not thought
of adopting any such drastic measures
on account OF the heroic commanders
u~tterances at any banquet.
1t was learned from the same anthem
tic source that the admiration held by
the president for Captain Coghlan's
participation with Admiral Dewey in
the destruction of h Spanish fleet at
Manila, completely overshadows any
desire on his part to administer rebuke
TO the Raleigh's gallant commander for
his fling at Germany and the kaiser.
