NEGRO pISFRAMchIsEMENT.
ADVOCATED, IN EFFECT, BY HON
BOURKE COCHRAN.
(By Telegraph to virginian- Pilot


Montgomery. Ala. May 1o.-Hon.
Bourke Cochran. OF New York, tonight
scored the most brillinat success of the
race conference in the closing grafton.
He boldly advocated the repeal OF the
fifteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution. He argued that it was a
bad limb on the tree; that II had been
nulifed by the States; that it had been
lynched so to speak, by the people of
the South. He declared that the recon-
ciliation of the theoretical status of
the negro under the Constitution should
be reconciliated with his actual status
in the public opinion of the country. He
maintained that this repeal was best for
the negro as we'll as for the white man
since both races had to live together
to prosper together or go down to-
gether. Every source OF irritation be-
tween the two should be removed. and
the fifteenth amendment was the great
est.
| AT the morning session of the con-
| ference the discussion chiefly was OF
the negro in relation to religion.
| The morning speakers included Rev.
f-fo.-cfay- f5tttry.-Ur- Tuscaloosa;- w. A.
| Query. chaplain OF the University of
! the South: Rev. c. G. Brown. of Clin-
ton. S. c.; the Very Rev. ]. r. Stat
terry. OF baltimore.
Bishop Rcnnick, OF Baltimore. made
sensational speech in which he said
that from five to eight 0eCroes in the
North. under Northern conditions. COM
mittcd crimes to one in the South.
Prof w. +. Wilcox. chief statisti-
clan Of the United States census, n New
Yorker by birth and ancestry. made a
speech, declaring that the ultimate ex-
termination of the black race was in
evitable.
There will be a rapid decrease OF
the birth rate and a slow increase OF
the death rate until the negro race will
stand as the American Indian stands
to-day" said Prof. Wilcox.
In the afternoon session Hon. Alex.
King, of Atlanta. Ca. discussed the
lynching question and 1.-The punishment
OF crimes against women-existins legal
remedies and their suf11ciency."
He suggested that in a. county where
lynching occurred tax should be
| levied by the state authorities Of not
less than $1,000 upon the citizens. and
the amount appropriated TO the school
fund of the State
Mr.. King closed with plea for the
domination OF law.
He was followed by Hon. Clifton r.
Breckenridge. OF Arkansas. who DIS
| cussed the advisability OF lynching

THE STATE LEAGUE.

The "Phenoms'' had no trouble de-
feating the Farmers" yesterday after
noon at League Park. Indifferent field
Ing by the visitors and timely batting
and daring base running by the home
team gave them an easy victory. The
boys from Petersburg must have had a
bad case Of stage fright. while their
batting was good they flelded poorly.
Petersburg started the run-getting in
the first Inning by base on balls, a
single. double and a triple. which sent
four men across the rubber
Norfolk scored in every inning but
two. They hit the ball and ran bases
for keeps. Their fielding was of the

John G. McHenry's Residence Burned.

The fine residence Of John G.. Nc
Henry, near Benton, was destroyed
by fire last week Wednesday. The
Benton Argns gives the following ac-
count OF it:
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon the whistle at the distilery
Of Rohr McHenry & Son, about
mile west of town, blew a prolonge
blast Of about 10 or IS minutes. Our
citizens at once interpreted it as an
alarm of fire, and soon thereafter
smoke was observed ascending in the
direction of the distilery. Repeated
calls over the telephone failed to elicit
an answer, and it was at once surmis-
ed that the distillery was on fire. In
asmuch as no Information could be
obtained by telephone, many of our
people started for the distillery in con-
veyances, on bicycles and on foot. On
arriving there it was discovered that
the residence of Mr.. J. G.. McHenry
was being rapidly consumed by the
flames together with all its contents,
and in a short time thereafter it was a
heap of smolderlng ruins. Willing
hands made an effort to save some of
the contents, but very few articles
only were gotten out owing to the
fact that the fire originated in the
basement, and the entire structure was
liable to fall in at any moment, and
which prevented the most daring
spirits present from entering the build
ing. The fire is supposed to have
originated from spark in the cellar
kitchen which was used as wash
room, and in which Washing had been
done early in the morning When 1t
was first discovered it was rapidly eat
ing its way to the first floor, and the
screams of the women aroused Mr..
McHenry who was up stairs taking a
short nap. He Immediately arose,
and IN descending the stair steps
found them on fire, and the flames
had gained such headway that assist
ance could not be obtained quick
enough to stay the devourirg element
nor save the contents of the building.
The amount of loss is not yet known
neither can the amount of insurance
be given as all the insurance paper:
are confined in the safe which now
lies in the bottom of the cellar under
| the debris.
