THE BRIGGS CASE
CROPS UP AGAIN
PROMINENT DIVINE RESIGNS
Rev. DeCOSia Gives up the Priest
hood Rather Than Sacrifice the
Faith of His Childhood.

NEW YORK. Oct lO.-An interview
is published with Rev. DR.. r. F. De
Costa. the Episcopalian clergyman who
has just resigned from the priesthood
on account OF the admission OF DR..
Charles A. Briggs as a minister Of the
church. Or. De Costa says:
"N1w that the diocesan convention
is over and the Bible, so far as Eplsco-
palians are concerned. has met with It's
Sedan, l have concluded that It would
be quite as well to drop out Of the
Episcopal ministry altogether. To my
mind. unless the unexpected comes to
pass. the poor future OF the Episcopal
movement must be considered clear.
Notwithstanding the effort to gloss the
matter over. the action OF the iisocesan
convention is one OF the signs OF the
times.
This diocese and the Episcopal
church at large is dominated by what
the ruling factions call the spirit Of the
age. They forget to say what age.
This spirit that they talk about is
simply the belated ghost Of the age
of Arianism.
The Episcopal church has made
new departure and cannot go alone
with it. Consistency requires a repu-
diation Of the whole scheme and Il
have adopted the best method. prefer
the faith I learned al mothers knee TO

GOAL OF AFRo-AMER1CANs.
Bishop Walter Says Race Is Discrlm,
mated Against in the South.

BOSTON, Oct. 1O.-Bishop Walter.
president of the National Afro-Amer-
lean council, delivered lecture at the
North Russell Street A. NJ. E. church
last night on The Trials and Achieve
menis Of the Negro Race"
He said the goal to be reached by
Afro-Americans is all that is guaran-
teed to American citizens by the Con-
shtution and Declaration Of Independ-
ence. This means. first, liberation
from the mob; second the right to cast
free and untrammeled ballot: third,
to hold office; fourth, admission to ho-
tells, restaurants. steamboats, and all
other public places. Continuing. he
said:
Lynching, especially by mutllation
and burning at the stake is a relic Of
barbarism. Thousands Of Afro-Amer-
leans have been murdered in cold blood
by the lynchers since emancipation.
They outrage us with impunIty, de-
stroy our property at will and seem
to have no compunction or conscience.
Taking up another, Bishop Walter
said:
The negro must be allowed to cast
free and untrammeled ballot in all
parts Of this land"
The speaker then quoted from the
avs Of different states and said that
he Afro-American council was pre-
pairing to test the constitutlonallty Of
The election laws of Mississippi, LouisI-
md and South Carolina.

G0MpERS AND TRUSTS
Take Strong Grounds Against Anti
Trust Legislation In Any Form.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-A special to
American Federation Of Labor. has
written an editorial for the current
number Of the official organ Of the Fed
eratIcn, which may have an important
effect in tending to prevent the trust
issue from assuming Importance as a
political issue.
Mr.. Gompers takes strong grounds
against any antitrust legislation in
any form. He says he is convinced
that the government is not capable Of
preventing the legitimate development
Of natural concentration Of Industry.
and that all the propositions to do SO
which have come under his observation
would beyond doubt react with greater
force and injury upon the working peo-
pie than the trusts.

this with the American Hyde & Leath-
er and Standard Shoe Machinery Com
panies, making gigantic truth that will
try to control the shoe trade of the
world.
When this general scheme was con-
ctived several months ago. steps were
taken to bring the shoe manufacturers
together into a trust. but it was soon
found that little success could be Se-
cured by such a combination without
the cooperation OF the makers Of shoe
machinery, to whom royalties would
have TO be paid and with whom lay the
power to at any time ruin the manu-
aeturers trust. Consequently the shoe
trus projec; was dropped for the time
being and work was begun by the shoe
machinery people themselves.
The new Standard Shoe Machinery
company will acquire the following con-
Germs and patents:

Manufacturing company. including its
patented machines consisting OF welt

VICTIMS OF A WHITE M0BI
Negroes Fleeing From the
Little River Country.
THE RACE WAR IN ARKANSAS
Many Blacks Left Hanging to Trees
The Country in q State of Intense
Observation-Disclosures Collecting.

Texarkana, Ark, March 25.-A race
war is on in Little river county. and
during the last "a hours an indefinite
number of negroes have met their death
at the hands of an infuriated white
population. Seven are known to have
been lynched, shot to death or slain in
some manner, and the work is not yet
done. The bodies of the victims Of the
mob's vengeance are hanging to the
limbs of trees in various parts of the
county, strung up wherever overtaken;
while that of another, who wat shot to
death while trying to escape, was
thrown into creek and left there.
The country is in state of most in
tense excitement. White men are col
lecting in mobs, heavily armed and de-
termined; negroes are fleeing for their
lives, and the community is in on
uproar.
The exact number of negroes who
have been SUNNI marily dealt with, or
those who may yet fall into the hands
of the mob before order is restored,
may never be known. Seven bodies
have been found, and other victims
gre being hunted, and will meet a
similar fate when run to earth.
Little River county is in the extreme
southeast corner of the state, bordered
on the west by the Indian territory
and on the south by Texas. The negro
population is large, and has for a long
time proved very troublesome to the
whites. Frequent murders have oc-
CURED, and thefts and fights have be.
come common affairs.

fore the opening of the rainy season,
about the middle of April. The Solace

called famine districts of Russia, es-
peCially Samaria, in the eastern part
of European Russia. The efforts of
the Red Cross Society have STAYED off
the horrors of actual starvation, but
the society's funds are almost exhaust

the consumption of all kinds of garb-
age, has produced an epidemic of terri
BILE mortality, with typhus, scurvy and
other pestilential diseases.
The peasants are compelled to sell
everything, and are living in cold,
damp and filthy cabins. Weakened by
hunger, they fall ready victims to ty-
phus and acute scurvy. Unless the
government gives prompt aid. the Vol
ga provinces appear doomed to repe-
tition of the horrors of 1891 and 1892.

While in this city Mr.. Graham made
the important statement that the first
step made by the new trust would be
to advance the price of silver 10 per

"This is trust that will prove bene-
fetal instead of oppressive" said Mr..
Graham. "All the smelter operators
who entered into the combine signed g
