CUMBERLAND, Md, September 18.-The
republicans Of district No. 5. in which Sem
ator Wellington has lived nearly all his life.
last night organized an enthusiastic Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Pearre club of about
80 members. The leading members were
former ueutenants of Senator Wellington,
who once fought hard for him, but now re-
fuse to follow him in his fight against his
party. They are mostly Germans.
The following officers were elected: Pres
ident. Harry A. Pitzer; vice presidents. Geo.
A. Shaffer, Conrad J. .Herpich, William A.
Briggs; secretary, Councilman William P.
Rizer; treasurer, c. Edgar Keller. Commit

club, was received with the greatest enthu-
siasm the men who fought him in his MEM

Col. Pearre thoroughly dissected the issue
of imperialism. He contended that it was
not, however, the paramount issue; that

convention the reiteration of the silver
plank of the Chicago platform, at the same
time declaring that he would not accept the

mand as to sO-called Imperialism, said Col
Pearre, nor as to trusts or civil service or
any other issue. Col Pearre in an eIoouent
climax put the party above the man, say
ing the success and the perpetuation of re-
publican principles should be foremost and

individual member, the speaker being no
exception.

Oppose Location of School.

A petition, signed by more than sixty
owners Of property and residents in the
section adjacent to lots and Z, square GIT,
street between North Capitol and 1st
streets west, has been filed with the District
Commissioners, the petitioners praying
that the purchase of these lots by the Com
missioners as site for a colored public
school house be not made. This locality"
says the petitioners. "is largely built up
and occupied by white persons, and the To-
cation Of this school will be a detriment
to both renters and owners, also a great
annoyance to the patients of the Homeo-
pathic Hospital"
AS the lots have already been purchased
by the Commissioners as a site for the
school house it is understood the petition
ers will be informed that their request was
received too-late, and that the school house
will be erected as proposed.

Industrial Commission.
The Industrial commission will very soon
have in its hands q report by Professor
jerks on the subject Of trusts In Europe.
Professor jerks was sent to Europe by the
commission about three months ago to
make an investigation there on the trust
question or the tendency toward combina-
ton in large industrial enterprises. He has
visited England, Germany, Austria and
other European countries and has collected
data on the trust question, which Wa, show
laws for the control of trusts by the Eu-
ropean countries and the extent to which
such combinations have occurred there.
1t Is well known that combination in In
dustrial enterprises has become very popu-
lar among European manufacturers and
capitalists. Only lately. In Austria. a case
has been tried by the courts similar to the
AddistOn pipe case which was decided by
the United States Supreme Court last win

decided In the same way, which indicates

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September 1S.-The course
Of prices this morning reflected more de-
liberation on the part Of traders. a marked
disinciination TO take new risks being IN
evidence throughout the session.
In few instances short sales Were recov-
cred and pool properties were advanced by
bidding up prices in the absence Of pressure
to sell. The London market was inclined
toward lower level as the result of the
foreign money situation. A slight advance
in exchange may be noted in this connec-
ton and an outward movement of gold is
predicted.
The German loan has been oversubscribed,
but seems to have given satisfaction only to
the American interests. Local money rates
do not f1uctuate in the manner indicated by
believers in tight money. the call rate hav-
ing gained only a small fraction during the
week The time money market is the one
attracting the business of brokers' how
ever. and this fact at least indicates that
sharp change In the call rate Is expected
An assignment by one of the older but
recently Inactive firms In the street was
announced during the day, and subsequently
about 200 shares of stock were sold ''un-
der the rule for the firms account The
failure Is not bad one in the ordinary
sense and does not involve other houses.
Some selling of local gas stocks was a
feature or the market, rumors of dssatis-
faction along the lines expressed by Chica-
go consumers were freely circulated, but
the trading was too narrow to admit of
substantial results.
The coal stocks showed the strength of
the general market and strike news was
or less volume than yesterday. In certain
Well-fnformed circles the coal strike Is not
regarded as permanent speculative diff
Guilty. 1t Is an important addition, how
ever, to the numerous arguments against
hasty buying.
The railroad list was given excellent sup
port and held well under a small volume of
business. The buying was almost wholly
professional and represented no new busi-
ness
The market relapsed into extreme dull
ness during the afternoon, and resumed its
old position from which the selling on the
coal strike had temporarily removed It, The
industrial list was dull and without special
feature Sugar was bought by trade inter-
ests who were reported to have sold freely
a week ago. Rumors Of dividend changes
continue to be urged against certain of the
steel shares, but traders are the only SELL
erS on this account.
The street has a greater variety of
rumors on the steel properties than upon
the balance of the market, but there is no
enthusiasm to trade on either good or bad
prospects. This unwilingness to trade can
not be said to discriminate between either
account. The holder of optimistic views is
quite as Idle as is his neighbor of opposite
faith.

Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor OF Tenth
Street Baptist Church. corner OF 10th and
r streets northwest, who has just -eturneo
from the national Baptist convention, which
was held in the Fifth Street Baptist Church.
Richmond, Va, reports that the session was
one Of the most prosperous in the history OF
the convention There were about 1900
delegates present, representing almost every
state and territory in the Union. The con-
vention represented a constituency OF
100000 colored Baptists in the United
States, with 14OOO churches and $1,000 or
dained ministers. There were only s2,10O
collected during the sitting Of the conven-
ton, however, being the smallest amount
collected at any meeting since the organ
ization of the convention, In Montgomery,
Ala. twenty years ago. This falling on IS
accounted for by citing the great stress
which was put upon the spiritual instead or
the financial work of the convention this
year. There were $1,000 collected during
the year for foreign missions alone. The
association has nine missionaries in the
field in Africa, all of whose salaries were
paid in full to September /, 1900.
There was collected for all purposes dur
ing the year by the educational. pubiica-
ton, home and foreign missionary boards
$163 600, and $263 was lifted by couectlon
and sent to Governor SayerS Of Texas to
relieve the Galveston sufferers, which was
very gratefully acknowledged by the gov
ernor. The governor also said, in answer
to telegram from the convention, that not
one minister had lost his life during the
terrible storm. One, Rev. Terrell, had his
leg broken and his wife was killed.
The address of Governor Tyler of Vir-
gnia, Mr.. Lamkns said, was pleasant
feature of the convention. After compli-
menting and congratulating the personnel
of the convention and addressing himself
to other important matters that concerned
the delegation, he took occasion to speak of
his long interest in and friendship for the
colored people. He said that he set free
all of the colored people owned by him be-
fore the emancipation proclamation was is
sued and gave the head of each family a
tract of land, mule, a plow and a cow,
and required them. at the end of the first

May Become Involved.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 49,
Grand Chief P. NJ. Arthur of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers said today
he did not think 1t likely that the engineers
would refuse to haul anthracite coal mined
by non-union miners.
''The strike, If it continues, will undoubt-
edly soon result in many railroad men be-
ing thrown out of employment" said Mr..
Arthur. This will, of course, lead to dis
satisfaction and unrest among them. I'm
der such conditions the engineers might
become involved in the strike, but it is not
probable"

No Idle Dream, hut Reality.
The seer who forty years ago could have
bodied forth this picture would have been
set down as an idle dreamer. But we are
not dreaming; we are rejoicing over reali-
ties, rejoicing that though our contest was
bitter and bloody, our reconciliation Is
hearty and complete; rejoicing that 1t has
been given to us to witness at last that
more perfect union which the fathers
dreamed of in the preamble Of our Consti-
tuition, but never lived to see.
How has this all come about? The an
swer is simple. The people Of the two
sections have at last come to understand
each other as never before. When the
smoke had cleared away from the battle
fields of the civil war and the mists of pref
udice had at last lifted you of the north
and we of the south began to see each
other just as we were and had been. Slav-
cry had not. as you had been told, ener-
waited the southern people; they were Wig
orous and manly: they seeded as they be-
lieved they had right to do: they set up
over themselves the constitution OF the
fathers, and Interpreted exactly az they
understood 1t, and they fought to maintain
it with gallantry that attracted the atten-
ton of the world. On the other hand.
money-getting had not, as we Of the south
had been taught. emasculated the people
of the north; they stood ready with grim
courage and steadfastness that had never
been surpassed to uphold the Union Of the
fathers as they understood 1t. And looking
mighty struggle as 1t progressed on land
and sea, from one bloody battle to another.
it is plain to us all that no people could
have poured out willingly so much blood
as were made north and south save and
except only men and women who were
trained In the love Of and were battling
for constitutional liberty.
