Manila, July 1O.-It has been raining
and storming almost constantly for
two days, and the country along the

infantry regiment, at Pasay, is in the
worst position, being practically sur
rounded by water. The bridges that
were used for getting SUPPLIES have been
washed away, and some of the COM

six feet deep. In many cases the men
are sleeping with three feet of water
beneath their hunks, which are ele-

Some of the roads leading to Pasay

TIE Washington Posi- in its issue of

following language used by Bishop H.
NJ. TURNER in an address to the Foreign
Mission Board of the A. N. e. Church
in Brooklyn, N. Y:
Gin regard to what ] said against
President Mckinley, / have nothing to
hide.
President Mckinley is fine man. n Q
has many friends. believe that he
mas as many friends among the Demo-
Gratis of the South as among the Re-
publicans, but he is q man lacking In
force. He has not been true to our
people when he might have been. By
speaking q few words, by merely rails
ing his hand. or in some way taking
notice of Us, he might have given rec.
ognition to the wrongs which we have
been forced to endure. This he has
not done. He has rem ained silent and
passive. He has allowed the most Aw.
full crimes to be perpetrated against
our race, when in some way he might
have interfered."
We do not see how any one could
take exception to such a profound
truth. President MCKINLEY know
himself that Bishop TURNER has stated
the case correctly. But then tn,
truth sometimes hurts, and at othe
times kills. This is the explanation O
tie Posr's criticism. President MoKn

MEN WHO SAVED VICTORIA
Instances I'm which the Queen Had
\ Some Narrow Escapes


\ Some Narrow Escapes
The first man to save the Queens
life was an Irish soldier, who not un-
til fifty years afterward, however, was
aware of the honor that had by chance
fallen to his lot. When in her 5th year
the Princess Victoria-as she was then

Two months before her coronation.
while riding through Hyde Park. her
Majesty's horse took fright at some
thing and bolted. Fortunately Andrew
Ducrow, the famous equestrian of Asst
ley's Amphitheatre. CHANGED to be rid
ing a short distance ahead. Hearing
the furious thud of the horses feet he
turned, and, grasping the situation at
a glance, leaped from his saddle in time
to catch the bride of the runaway
and bring il to standstill. For his
prompt assistance Ducrow afterward
received a handsome scarf pin from
her Majesty.
Soon after her accession, the Queen.
accompanied by her mother, the Ouch
ess of Kent. was driving through High
gate, when the horses attached to the
royal carriage became FESTIVE, and at
the same moment, something going
wrong with one Of the wheels, the roy

Crown, who had the good luck to stop
the horses. He then sent for wheel
wright to put matters straight, and,
while this was being done, accommo-
kdated her Majesty with a seat within
his hostelry. For this service he was
permitted I'd display the royal arms,
with an inscription to the effect that

On May %. 1850, when leaving the
Duchess of Cambridge's residence in

THAT VOICE FROM DANVILLE.

The plea for harmony by the Baptist
Ministers Conference of DanviIle, Va,
is published in another column, and
contains sentiments which no person
who has the success OF that denomina-
ton at heart could criticize or ignore.
While probably not SO intended, it is
nevertheless q telling rebuke to those
who entered the columns of . newspa-
per, slandered the Baptist women of
this state, and reflected upon the in
tegrity of some of the ablest .divines
this country has ever produced.
We believed then and know now that
it was grievous blunder on the part
Of an indiscreet, but brilliant divine.
Why or how Rev. q D. LEWIS, ID. D.,
could haze presumed that he could at
tack these influential ministers, under
an assumed name, without being dis
covered has been q mystery to us.
Why or how he could have presumed
that he would not have to face q return
fire. much hotter than the one ne was
delivering was problem we are yet
trying to solve.
We have concluded that he dire
gArded. the advice Of his friends and for
once consulted his own passions and
inclinations. We have sAid Def ore and
we repeat that had he spoken to the
deacons and lay-members of his church,
those who were older and more expert.
enced than himself, he would have
been advised to bear and forb gar.
On the other hand, he charged men,
high in public favor, brethren who had
never deceived the people, ministers OF
the gospel who had never mi led their
fiock,-with political pollution" "dis.
honest .trickery." as we'll as with IN.
Christian conduct.
Nothing could have injured the col
ored Baptists of the state of Virgins
more than this. Nothing could tend
to cripple our work here 60 greater
extent than would the dissemination
of these charges.
There was nothing left for US to do
but to pronounce them as unfoundeC
and to demand that the divine in ques
tion should prove all that he alleged.
We insist thss we do not believe tina

Cleveland, July 12.-F. G. Getchell,

was kidnapped when an infant, 25
years ago, and his mother were re-
united last night. The mother, Mrs.

fecting one. the mother, who Is 60
years Of age, being accepted by the
son without question. The story Mrs.
Smith tells of the kidnapping is to the
effect that the infant was taken by a
relative to New Orleans, and there
placed in an orphan asylum. The boy
remained there until he was Is years
OF age, when he came north, and after
living in various places he came to this
city. He is now married and has two
