THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
A COlOred Missionary Thrills the Vast

Ass"mhiasP
Hot Springs, ARK, -Iay 14.-Another
Booker Washington appeared at the last
moments of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention this evening. He was the Rev.
Charles S. Morris, a young man Of brown
skin and with eloquence that thrilled the
big assembIage He is missionary
among the blacks Of Africa, and had been
granted 4 few minutes to make plea
for missionary work in the dark contt-
nent. 1t remained for the negro to stir
the great gathering to tumultuouS en-
thusasm, when. with a splendid elo-
quence, he told his hearers that Carey
was not the first modern missionary, but
that the pioneers were the godly women
who took charge OF the slaves when they
landed in old Virginia and clothed and
fed them and gave them the gospel. It
was some time before President Northen
could obtain silence after the negro's
speech. The crowd however, could not be
restrained, and broke forth into fresh ap-
plause. Crowds pressed forward and
struggled to get near enough to throw
money on the platform. Several hundred
dollars in silver and notes were thrown at
Morris feet. He asked the audience not
to give money to him. but to turn 1t over
to the treasurer and have it used to send
messengers throughout the South to
arouse the colored people to cooperation
in the mission work in Africa. The out
pouring OF money was so spontaneous
that even after the eloquent black orator
had refused it. it was flung at his feet.
The convention adopted resolutions to
report upon the relations sustained by the
denominational papers. There was O good
sized collection taken up for the South.
ern Baptist Theological Seminary. The
finance report showed an increase OF
more than 25 per cent. for foreign mis-
sions over the previous year.
The report discussed by ten prominent
delegates and the Rev. DR.. Pitt, of South
Carolina read the report of the advance
movement. The Rev. I. ]. VanNess read
the report of the work among the ne
groes.
The Rev w NJ. Vines, of Asheville.
n c., submitted the report on frontier
work, and the Rev. T. S. Potts, OF Mem
phis, presented the report on cities,
while the Rev. ]. z. White, of North
Carolina, made a report on the work Of
the mountain regions. The report on the
enlargement of home mission work recon-
mended that 0OO be raised for home
missions.

commended Ashevlle, -. c., but the dele
gates selected New Orleans, al the Fri
day before the second Sunday of 7. xt

n. l.. GENERAL CONFERENCE.
The Anti-Canteen Law-FRvor AbOli-
tion OF the Timc Limit for Metho.
dist Preachers.

Chicago. Ill, May 14.-The Methodist
Episcopal General Conference Committee
on Temperance adopted a resolution to-
day. which, IN the minds OF the mem
bers of the committee. at least. is a d.
rect slap at President Mckinley because
OF his acquiescence in the decision OF At
torney-General Griggs, declaring the laws
ineffective. The resolutions are a portion
of the report of a subcommittee, and
were adopted in the face Of q motion to
substitute for il a minority report from
DR.. Jacob Z. Price, of the New York
Conference, after two-h0urs' debate, in
which the members alternately arraignod
and championed President Mckinley in
his stand on the anti-car teen law.
The report read as follows: We are.
however, chagrined. Inundated and exas-
perated by the purile and absurd con-
struction placed upon the anti-canteen
law, so called by the Attorney-General Uf
the United States, and with all due re-
spect to his exalted station, we record the
fact that we are panied and disappointed
at the course Of the President In accept
ing as final, and satisfaction an opinion
without binding force. Such an abuse of
power is notification In its most danger
Gus form
Upon the President, as commander IN
chief Of our army, rests the responsibility
in its most dangerous form. Upon the
President as the commander in chief
of our army rests the responsibility for
the canteen saloon, an evil which he has
ample power TO suppress.
We urge upon the President an early
exercise Of the power vested in him. to
the end, that the authority of the govern
ment instead Of being used to place
termination before soldiers shall be used
to save him, as far as possible, from the
moral hazards incident to military life.
Discussion Of the report Of the COM
mission on the revision of the constitu
ton and the report of the committee OF
Rule of Conference elections, took up the
most of the time of the Conference after
the morning recess.
The report Of the Committee on Elec-
tions recOmm ending that the election Of
Bishops be held under the two thirds
rule, was adopted by overwhelming vote.
The report number two of the committee
on Episcopacy. recommending that the
whole list of present acting bishops be de-
clared effective, was adopted.
The committee on Itinerancy to-day
voted 50 to 81 to report in favor of the
abolition of the time limit for Methodist
preachers.
After a stormy session the Committee
on Episcopacy to-day decided to recon-
mend the election of two new bishops to
provide for possible deaths on the board
during the next four years. The body
voted down a report from a sub-commit-
tee in favor of petitioning the Conference
to elect a colored bishop. The result is
taken as a defeat of the movement to Sc
cure the election of a colored man as
bishop aha

A POLICEMAN MORBED.
Eighteen Drunken Negroes Threaten
to XIII Every White Man at Four

Charlotte, N c., May 16-Eighteen
drunken negro railroad hands and tim
Der cutters vent to the little village OF
Four Oaks, threatening to kill every
white man. They were armed. The
crowd commenced to curse and raise
disturbance. The town policeman at
tempted to arrest a negro for disorder
ly conduct, WAereupOn the negroes
mobbed the policeman, who was named
SanGerlin, and beat him insensible. His
face was badly GiSfigured and he was
bloody almost from head to foot.
Some white men attempted to aid the
policeman, but we're knocked down or
shot at. Much mischief would have
been done but for the action of the
white merchants and railroad en-
ployees of the town. Several negroes
were wounded, cut not fatally, and
several white men injured. The negroes
sent word that they intended to visit
the town again and kill the policemen.
The whites viii be ready when they
come again. The action Of the negroes
was totally without excuse or proVoca-
ton and was a complete surprise to the
whites. At least fifteen or twenty peo-
pie on the two sides were injured.

BRYAN WILL CARRY THE SOUTH.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Hon. Clark How

a member of the National Democratic
Committee from Georgia, who arrived in
Chicago to-day, believes Bryan will carry
the South in the coming election, and
saws the Nebraskan will receive the vote
of every Southern State in the Kansas
City Convention.
Il believe he continued, that the
Democratic Convention at Kansas City
will nominate straight ticket. without
regard to what has been done by the
Populists or what may be done by any
other convention. While Mr.. Towne may
be a strong man, it will not do for the
Democratic party to take instructions
from any other party in the selection OF
O man for the Vice Presidency. For the
good of the party believe that the action
taken by the Democrats at Kansas City
will be concurred in by the gentlemen
who have been making the campaign for
Mr.. Towne.

CUBA'S POSTAL SERVICE.
GEN. WOOD SAYS 1T SIN HIGH
STATE OF EFFICIENCY.
Ut should Not be Blamed for the
FRu-ts of Handful OF Rascals-
Suspended Postmaster THOMPSON
Indignant Mr.. RathbOne's Care.
Iessness "A False EumOr.

Havana, May 15.-Governor-Gerera
Wood, referring to-day to the postal
service Of Cuba, says:
Speaking generally, the postal SER
vice of the island of Cuba Is in a high
state of efficiency. The service as
whole should not be blamed for the
faults Of a handful of rascals."
L. p. Thompson, the Havana post
master, who has been suspended, pend
ing inquiry into the methods of the
local office, came to the city this morn
ing, accompanied by a special agent.
in whose charge Mr.. Thompson has
been placed. He is very indignant at
the course taken with respect to him,
and he says he has friends who Will
stand by him. He also declares that
he has a clean axe with which to
fight.
1t is merely asserted that the ac-
counts of his office show a shortage Of
several thousands, which calls for an
explanation. This is not yet forthcom-
ing. he had q long talk this morning
with General WOCd, the nature Of
which has not been made public be-
yond the fact that Mr.. Thompson offer
ed to assist in bringing the guilty par
ties to Justice
The rumor circulated yesterday that
the postmaster at Baracoa had been
or would be arrested proves, upon in
VestigatiCn, to have been false He is
looked upon merely as a tool of Neely,
and as having acted innocently as the
business agent of Neely at Baracoa,
where he is in charge of Neely's coffee
ana cOcoanut plantations. 1t appears
that he used $500 in connection with
the business from the postal funds and
then drew upon Neely for the amount
AS Neely's frauds here are now in the
hands of the Governor, the draft has
not been hOnOred. It is understood
that there is no intention to arrest
this man, but he will have to refund
the money and may possibly lose his
position. A special agent will arrive
at BaraCOa tomorrow with orders to
institute a thorough investiga ton. He
will also place q lien upon all Of
Neely's property there.
The Lucha, the Cubano, the Post
are the only papers that say much re-
sarding the postal frauds. The Post
blames Mr.. RathbOne for carelessness
The Lucha takes his part. The Cubano
bitterly asSails him for his extrava-
CANT regime"
General Wood does not desire as yet
to make further arrests, because of the
necessity, as the law stands, to have a
preliminary trial within orty-eight
hours after an arrest. He believes that,
as it is impossible for the suspected
persons to escape, justice will be equal
ly we'll served by keeping those ac-
cused under the surveillance Of detec-

Uvala, north of Lake Tanganyika, the
following: The situation here is criti-

miles of Congo territory with 1000 SOL
dfers, fifteen officers and cannon. The
Belgian officer withdrew from his sta
ton under threat of instant attack.
The Germans burned the station. Their
officers acted on instructions from
