gle the tide of battle has turned and
the church is in a. position where with
continued effort, broad and glorious
ly gratifying success is assured.
1t was in 1885 that a little band of
the colored Baptists of the city, scarce
!. ly a dozen persons all told, met to-
gether for the purpose of forming a
church and worshipping together as
believers in common creed. The old
Reform Club hall at 460 Mair street was
secured for the purpose Of meetings on
Sundays, and for a number OF weeks
the worshipers gathered there each
Sabbath and held divine service among
themselves, there being no ministerial
head of the congregation
Additions were made to the number
of those who wished to join in the ser
vices, and soon the absolute need OF
pastor was realized. Rev. Charles
Simmons, g. minister who was at that
time resident in the city, was secured
to preach occasional sermons. and this
he did for some time. Under his lead
ership the church was formally organ
Ted and the interest in and attend
ance on the meetings constantly in
creased.
In 1885 Rev John Henry Gaines as
sumed the passionate Of the church, and
remained in that position for about IL
months. During his term of ministry,
the church moved to a hall at Lincoln
square for a short time, and then again
removed to 80 Front street. 1t was
during this period that the prospects Of
the church looked less bright than at
any time in it's history. The effect of the
frequent moving was a bad one, and
the influence of the hall-church was not
an enlivening one on the body or the
!. congregation itself.
MT was at this crisis that the more
r-seeing members of the church real
ICED that something must be done to
but the church on a more firm and sub
stantial basis, and they wisely agreed
that this something could only be the
erection or purchase by the society of
a permanent house of worship which
should be their own, and which should
serve as an incentive to concerted, ear
nest effort on the part of the individ-
uaI members A leader was needed,
and it was seen that he must be a man
OF much executive ability as well as
Mood judgment, sound sense, business
ability and that tact in dealing with
men and affairs that marks moro than
all else the leader in the affairs OF life.
After mature deliberation and the
examination into the qualifications Of
many candidates, the present pastor of
the church, Rev. Hiram Conway, was
selected as the man to reorganize its

SWEPT BY TIDAL WAVES.
British Captain Rescues Inhabitants
of Pacific Island,

British Captain Rescues Inhabitants
of IA Pacific Island,
Washington, April 29.-Tidal waves
and gales have caused great damage
to the low islands of the Carolinian
group during the last few months, ac-
cording to Captain Hitchfield master
and owner of the British schooner
Queen of the Isles, which arrived at
Manchai, near Hong Kong, from the
Caroline group. He says that all the
bread fruit and taro, the only luxuries
the natives have to vary their usual
meal of cocoanut and fish, have been
killed. In December last the Queen
of the Isles picked up the crew and
passengers, 20 in all, of the American
missionary schooner r. w. Logan, of
Boston, which was wrecked during a
storm on one of the Mortlock islands
Landing the missionaries safely on
their own island, the Queen of tho
Isles proceeded eastward.
After a days sail past the Borda-
laise reefs Captain Hitchfield was seiz-
ed with a strong impression that he
should visit these islands. He accord
ingly turned back and found the ISL
and of st. Augustine half washed
away Fourteen people, on the verge
of starvation, had taken refuge on the
highest point of the island, their gar
dens on the lower portions having
been swept out of existence by an i'm
mense tidal wave. These people were
taken aboard and turned over to the
Spanish governor at Honape. On her
last trip the Queen of the Isles landed
them at their original homes on one
of the western high islands.

General Corbin saysvolunteers should
Have Medals of Honor.
Washington, April 29.-The end Of
the Filipino insurrection is in sight in
the opinion Of army and navy officials.
telegram received from General Otis
Yesterday announced that Aguinaldo
had taken what is regarded as the first
step toward surrender namely, re-
questing cessation of hostilities Sec
retary Alger said as the department
closed that while 1t could not be said
that peace was assured, he regarded
the prospects as of the brightest, and
felt confident that the end of the in
surrection was near. To his mind
there would be repetition of the nego-
tiations which were had before San
tiago.
Everybody is praising the volun-
teers, marked change in the senti-
ment expressed few days ago, when 1t
was understood that the men were
pleading to be brought home. Colonel
Funston came In for the most COM
mendation, even the regular officers
taking note with admiration of the fact
that his achievements were all strictly
within the line of the plans laid down
for him by his superior officer, General
Wheaton.
General Corbin said that every vol
unteer who participated in the fighting
in the Philippines since peace was de-
clared should have medal of honor.
BY the terms of their enlistments they
were entitled to withdraw from the
service, but they had remained volun-
tarily, performing more than was re-
quired of them, which was more than
the ordinary duty of a soldier.
1t is expected that today there will
be further negotiations with the in
surgent representatives. While the
hope is expressed that our commission
will not hold out terms so severe as to
lead to a renewal of the fighting or
the withdrawal of the insurgents to
another stronghold further north, 1t
is realized that Otis must exercise care
to make sure that the rebels do not
take advantage of the opportunities
afforded by a suspension of hostili-
ties to secure whatever of benefit to
themselves may come from the rapid
ly approaching rainy season.
General Otis dispatch was telegraphed
to the president, then at Philadelphia,
who sent the following cablegram to
General Otis: "Your message an
houncing the advance of Macarthur
division and the proposal of the in
surgents for the suspension of hos
tilities most gratifying. Convey to
officers and men heartfelt congratula-
tions and gratitude"
