ROBERT c. DAVIDSON CHOSEN
Every Baptist Church in the South Asked to Observe 1900 as a Mem
 orial Year for Blessings of
 the Dying Century

Louisville. Ky, May 15.-The last day of the last southern Baptist convention of the nineteenth century was marked by many reports and discussions and signal impor- tance in the history of that denomination.
 The convention selected the Hon. Robert c. Davidson, of Baltimore to represent southern Baptists In connection with a per sonal appeal to be made to the czar of Russia in behalf of persecuted students of that empire Every Baptist church in the south Is to be asked to unite in observing the year 1900 as memorial year in remem- brance of the remarkable blessings Of the past century, and the outlook for the com ing one. Mission work among the various needy classes of our own country received large share of attention, especially that among the colored people and the noun taineers. Much light on dark subject" was the result of a flow of eloquence on the negro question, but the most stirring speech of the day was made by a KentucK- ian, speaking in behalf of his people whose condition he clearly depicted As a result of his appeal more than $35O was quickly raised for the college which he represents. Hot Springs, Ark, was selected as the meeting place of the convention next year. Its only rival was Asheville, N. c.

CRITICISES HENRY
Spanish Editor Says He Was Recalled
 for Incompetency

San Juan, P. R., May 15.-The Demoo- racia, of Ponce, the organ of Senor Luis Munoz Rivera, former president of the Porto Rican insular cabinet, who is now in the United States, publishes letter from him in reference to the recall of Major Gen eral Guy V. Henry, recently governor gem eral of Porto Rico. The letter says:
 "Who does not know that the government in the hands of such a man was like the web of Penelope. now woven and afterwar.l torn or unravelled? Who does not re- member a thousand errors which the insu- lar secretaries could not repair? These are the real reasons for the recall-reasons laid bare by me with rude frankness to Ameri- ican colonial commission? The motive as- signed by the United States secretary of war, General Alger, named consideration for the health of General Henry and simi- lar excuses had not basis in the facts of the case.
 General Henry wished to remain in Por- to Rico. I don't wish General Henry any i'll; but I do want the island of Porto Rico transferred into a lunatic asylum"
 The publication of this letter has caused much surprise and criticism, as General Henry left the island after a magnificent demonstration of good will on the part of the Porto Ricans General Davis, the new governor-general, will rescind the order re- gently issued giving liberty to the press

MAYOR VAN WICK
 CALLED AS WITNESS
Against Himself, Croker and
 Tammany Hall.
THE SECOND LEXOW GAME
Getting Well Under Way in New York All Sorts of City Officials Summoned to Incriminate
 Themselves and Party

New York, May 15.-Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck has been served with sub poena to appear before the Mazette com mittee, and is expected to be on hand to- morrow morning. The importance of the session that opens then is attested by the number of important Tammany officials who have been summoned to appear, but whom the mayor and comptroller are the most noteworthy. Mayor Van Wyck may not give his testimony tomorrow. as MT. Moss is likely to wait until number-cf witnesses have spoken freely before he sub- mits the mayor to his examination. The mayor will be questioned concerning all his important doings as head of the city government, and his reasons for the re- moval of certain importan city officials. such as the police commissioners, who stood in the way of Chief Devery's promotion. His relations with MT. Croker will be care- fully looked into.
 Though the Mazet commission intends to proceed against the present administration of the district attorneys, it has made no definite movement in that direction yet
 Police Commissioners York, Abbell, Sex ton and Hess were served this afternoon with subpoenas to appear as witnesses be- fore the committee.
 MT York is directed to produce the of ficial certificates issued by the mayor re- moving Commiss 'oners Hamilton and Phil lips, the official certificates of the ap- pointments of Commissioners Hess and Ab- bell and the minutes of the board meetings relative to the temporary and permanent appointment of William Devery as chief.
 Police Captain Price, it Is expected, will be witness tomorrow.

The man. Lawrence Roach. ran away during the afternoon when he heard that his treatment of the children had been reported to the police. The wo- man had been away from home all day, and did not know that her cruelty had been found out, and she was In .he house when the mob gathered and was in the act of applying more fire to one of the children when the crowd broke into the house. Telephone messages were sent to police station by white people living in the neighborhood, who said they believed the woman was about to be burned by the crowd. A wagon load of officers was sent to the place. So defiant was tho Sornan that she attempted to beat one of the children even after the police arrived. The woman and the children were taken out ol the house anu quiehiy put III eie ""So" which carried them to the station. One of the children had all the flesh burned from her legs in several places, and will probably die. The other three are all badly burned.
 The children said their father and mother beat them and then wrapped paper about their bodies. The paper was saturated with kerosene and set on fire. While the paper was burning the children were held to keep them from running, and when they screamed they were beaten. The woman denied having anything to do with the affair.
 Sergeant Ball, who led the detachment If police, said the woman would have been lynched if the officers had not arrived when they did.

SITUATION SERIOUS.
Officials Believe Careful and Diplomatic
 Management Will be Needed

Washington, May 15.-High officials In the war department were reluctant to dis cuss the Cuban situation this afternoon.
 The dispatch of the Associated Press was read with interest, but did not cause much surprise among army officers who are well informed about the Cubans, es- pecially those who are known as ''soldiers of fortune," and who have been bitterly disappointed because the island was not turned over to them immediately after the Spanish surrender. There Is an impression also that the intention of General Brooke to see that the $S.0OO,0OO Is distributed among all the Cuban troops has caused disappointment among the many '.gener- als" and other high officials who were evidently expecting to secure large share of the money

'than to believe that the negroes are not

"than to believe that the negroes are not a reading race"
 Rev. Alex W. Beeler, of Cartersville who was formerly a reporter on the Atlanta Journal thought there was great need of efforts to spread the gospel among the negroes of the south. He considered this the best way to dispute the fallacy that the white people are the negroes worst enemies. The spread of the gospel, and not legislation and action by mass meetings, he said. would do much to wipe out the crimes which have recently resulted in hor- rible lynchings.
 Mir. Thomas D. Osborne, of Kentucky. called attention to the excellent miss onary work being done by the colored foreign mis- sion board. He thought the white Baptists should Cooperate with their colored breth. ren in this matter.
 Co-OperatIng in Birmingham
 w. A. White. of Birmingham, Ala, told how the white and negro Baptists in his city are cooperating, as MT. Osborne had suggested. He thought the negroes need- cd the sympathy of their white brethren more than their money.

BY CLERK OF THE HOUSE
Room Enough in it For the Extra
 Session.
INSERTION MADE IN FEBRUARY
Assistant Clerk of the House Claims It Was Made Then-W aller Says It Was Not There at Be-
 ginning of Session.

Montgomery, May 15.-(Special.)-The facts in regard to the tampering with ths house journal by a leading firm of this city is exciting a great deal of comment and is now the main subject of eonversa- tion about the capitol.
 The facts in the premises as given by the secretary of state are that the clerks of the house at the beginning of the present extraordinary session of the legislature, called upon the secretary of state with q requisition for stationary and at the same time said that inasmuch as the second vol- ume of the house contained sufficient num- Der of blank pages to hold the proceedings of the house during the extra session, # would be better to use the book for that purpose and save the state the expense of new record book In this opinion the sec retary of state concurred and thereupon the clerk of the house took the journal to his office.
 As to the marginal interpolation, it is claimed by an assistant clerk of the house that he made it in Februry last before the speaker signed the journal. The interpola- tion consists of a record of a conference committee on house bill 935 (the general revenue law) including the names of all the committee and list of the yea and nay vote on the adoption of tine report. It oc- cupies considerable space of the margin and would attract the eye of anyone examining the record
