turned off fine and sunshiny, and a
great deal of garden seeds was plant

RACE WAR THREATENED
At the Annual Conference of the African
Methodist Church.


New York, April 26.-At the annual
conference of the African NJ. E. church
in Jersey City to-day Bishop Walters
spoke of the recent burning at the
stake of Sam Hose, colored, Of Palmet-
to, Ga. The bishop asserted that the
charge of assault which was put for
ward in justification of the treatment
of Hose was unfOunded and would soon
be shown ito be false. He warned the
whites of the North that if the mig
gers of the South were not given fair
treatment a race war would be precip-
itated.
The Cubans and Filipinos," Bishop
Walters said, upon whom we have
spent so much money and shed so much
blood to free from Spanish oppression,
We're never treated so barbarously in
time Of peace by that government as
some negroes have been in the states of
Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia.
Those who speak flippantly of our
determination" he continued. will find
when that work is done that all the
white people of America will not be
against the negro any more than they
were during the civil war"
Bishop Walters announced that the
first Sunday in June would be observed
as day of fasting and prayer to AL
mighty God for aid in this hour of dis
treSS.

Sharp Advance in Oatmeal.

Flour and feed merchants of Van

grades of oatmeal. Heavy orders will
have to be filled from the north short

asking for quotations from British CO.

ing the orders filled in Vancouver.
The supply of oats held on the coast is
not large, and higher prices followed

required in the north before the new
crop is ready, another advance in both
oats and oatmeal is looked for. No at

More Troops Needed.

Manila, May 29.-The events of tn
past week have emphasized the need OF
much larger army here, without
which. according to the best authori.
ties in Manila would be attempting
the impossible, to expect to maintain
supremacy in the Philippine islands.
The inadequacy of the American forces
is said to be responsible for the large
loss in the number of small encounters,
without material results as compensa-
tion. Most of the fighting has been in
territory which the Americans had
swept, but had been compelled to aban-
don because they could not spare
troops to hold it.

Lack of Preparatiou,

London, May 29.-All the dis.

The Hague show that the peace con-

ration. The Muravieff circular con-

tails. Its author emphasized disarma-
ment, but sighted arbitration. M. de
Staal, in opening the conference, abso-
lately reversed this order. What is
wanted is something for daily wear and
tear.
The Daily News says: "The British
and American proposals, though SIM
pie, are more practicable than the
scheme of NJ. de Martens, of the Rus.
sian delegation, and it is likely that
France and Russia, and even Germany,
will ultimately agree with them.

Wire Company, in Chicago, that 2, 500
tons of wire rods were about to be
shipped to Everett for the mill at that
point. This mill has been running
night and day for the past two weeks,
and there is not enough wire rods on
hand to keep it running more than a
month longer, so it was feared that
the mill would have to shut down, but
this shipment of rods, however, will
be sufficient to keep the mill running
continuously for at least three months.

Southeastern Oregon Wool.

The wool market has opened up in
Red Bluff, and the prevailing prices
range from 614 to Z cents for fall clips.
and l to IL cents for the spring clips,
only a small quantity selling at the
top price. 1t is expected that by the
end of the week the whole spring clip
OF Tehama county will be in. 1t is
evident that the Lake county market
will not be as lively as that of the
spring of '9S, owing to the fact that
there still remains so much unsold
wool. Figures gathered from the vari-
ous wool centers of Oregon give a total
of 6,oOO,0 900 pounds remaining unsold
from the clip of 1898.

Chicago, May S0.-The Baxter legis-

journed until June 6. Alderman
Michael Kenna. of the First ward,
known to his sadmiring constituents
and the world in general as "Hinky
Dink," appeared before the committee
and proved to be the star witness of all
who have appeared before thai body.
In South Clark street vernacular, he
told the members of the committee
that he did not believe there was any
gambling in Chicago nor had he ever
heard of any policy shops, colonial
tion of voters or slot machines in the
First ward. He admitted that his
saloon remained open all night, and
took the position that the all-night
saloon instead of having bad effect,
had on the contrary beneficent infiu-
ence on the public, crime having ac-
tualIy decreased since they were al
lowed to remain open.
The alderman testified that he paid
out about $6.0 in his last campaign.
and that he charged the difference be-
tween that and his 1880 salary as
alderman to amusement and pleas
ure." "Poltics is losing game,
