Daily reports of new cases continue to

WILL NOT SIT
NEAR NEGROES
Race War in Stockton
Christian Church.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON. June 29-The question
as to whether or not colored people
shall be allowed to choose their own
pews is creating considerable feeling in
the First Christian Church of this city
But for the tact and diplomacy of Rev.
Dr. Thomas Boyer, the pastor. the dis
sension would have before this reached
so acute a state as to interfere with
the prosperity of the church.
The church membership includes a
number of Southern people, who have
not accepted reconstructed conditions
so far as to admit of the equality of the
races. Among these is w. D. Miller. "a
leader in the church affairs and one of
the financial pillars. When the congre-
cation recently moved into its hand
some new church edifice on Lindsay
and California streets. Brother Miller
concluded that it would he we'll to start
out right on the race question: by as
signing to the colored members and at
tendants of the church certain seats
with notice that they would be eX-
pected to occupy these and no others.
Dr. Boyer heard of the move and.
knowing the trouble it would cause be-
tween the two political factions in the
church, he automatically told Mr., Mil
Ter that he would serve the notice, be-
leving that he could do so in a man
ner less calculated to offend the colored
people.
Now, Rev. DR.. Boyer being a man of
advanced political and social ideas, is
not burdened with any of the Southern
prejudice against the negro SO long as
the negro conducts himself as a good
citizen should Among the members of
the church are Mrs. Hall and daughter,
colored women. Dr. Boyer went to
them and asked if they would have
any objection to picking out a pew and
considering it as their own. He was
careful to explain that he had no SYM
pathy with the idea. but for the sake of
peace he hoped the colored sister would
act favorably upon the suggestion. The
peacemaking pastor labored in vain, for
Mrs. Hall is overly Jealous and senSi-
tive of her rights" and she unwound
her tongue and dilated upon the usual
arguments about the black and white
cattle feeding at the same manger. DR..
Boyer assured her it was no move to
drive the colored people out of the
church, and that if the people of South
ern ideas did that he would resign the
passionate and go also. This DR. Boyer.
will do. He is one of the abeSt pulpit
orators on the coast and possesses I'M
usual business aDlllty, as Is evident
from the fine church building recently
erected. The pastors statement has
caused a lull in the discord. as the con-
gregation thinks very much of him In
the meantime the colored people sit
where they wish.
This may be temporary only, as there
are several more rabid opponents of the
equal privilege idea, who are deter
mined to force the issue, even though
the colored people are driven out of the
church fellowship.

asperating delay Of over twenty-four
hours, which caused Iaot a few Of Gin
'cinnati's thousands. of visitors to leave
the city, the Opening concert of the
Golden Jubilee. Saengerfest of the
North American Saengerbund was
given tonight. An audience that
packed the balcony and almost filled
the dress circle and .parquet indicated
an ATTENDANCE of much over 10000. The
2000 more.
The first vocal work given was the
Gloria from Barnabv's THE Lord Is
King" by the Cincinnati reception cho-
rus and orchestra. The test of the
acoustic qualities of the new hall in
both the orchestral and vocal numbers
indicated success. The closing passage
of Barnaby's Gloria so thrilled the au-
dience that salvos Of applause were
given.

ing of the large force required.
No colored regiments will be organized.
Any colored men enlisted Will be assigned
10 vacancies in recent colored regiments

No facts were aScertained to support

Yet been completed.
Breuner's charge has some semblance OF

matter is being prObed to the bottom. 1t
IS an isolated case.

The natives rejoice at the arrival of the
American troops, who neither burn their
homes nor loot their property and who
feed the hungry. The inhabitants are re-
Stunning their ordinary occupations and
are ready to cooperate with us.
The wounded insurgents are brought to
