CUBAN FACTIONS QUARREL.
Santiago Reception to General Gomez De
vciops Into n Color Line Controversy.


Santiago, Cuba, April 16.-The recep-
ton rendered to General Maxine Go
mez to-day, on his way to San Domin-
go, caused great excitement, owing to
the efforts of the white and black par
ties TO obtain the first recognition. The
black party. represented by the Gu
bano Libre, which continues occasional
publication In defiance OF the orders Of
the authorities who had directed Its
suppression, sent tug to meet the
steamer Maria Herrera ut quarantine
and succeeded In inducing General Go
mez to accompany them.
Meanwhile another tug, carrying the
civil governor, General Castillo, the
mayor and other officials representing
the dominant white party. was entire
ly ignored by Gomez.
The black party. highly elated, took
mense crowd gathered on the frail pri-
vate wharf of II local boat club. This
collapsed and many We're thrown into
the water, one man being drowned.
The official party declined to recog-
nize General Gomez in consequence of
his recognition of the black party. and
there is considerable excitement.
When the procession passed through
the city, without either civil governor
or mayor, rioting was narrowly pre-
vented by the vigorous action of the
police under American officers.
This afternoon all the clubs gave re-
ceptions to General Gomez, but the
white party refused TO attend any of
them

Intense; that the outcry against imper-

the denuncIation OF trusts" was never
more severe, Republicans whose duty

two days voted the Republican ticket
with general unanimity. Election con-
tests OF this nature cannot always be

national topics; but In the elections
just held the voters divided on regular
party lines TO an extent rarely known
before. IL Is matter of no small mo-
ment, therefore. that in those very
parts of the country where this alleged
discomfort with Republican policy Is
said to exist In peculiar strength. Re-
publican victories or gains were re-
corded.
Thus, in Helena, Montana, n normal
ly Democratic city, the entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected by the largest
majority ever given to any local can
didates there; and Republican majorl-
ties are reported over the entire state.
In fact, there are good reasons for be-
lievlng that Montana can be counted as

PARkHuRsT WANTS NEW CREED
Says That the Presbyterian Church Needs
a Now Confession Of Inith.

n New Confession of Faith.
New York, April 16.--Iicv. DR.. Charles
ii. Parkhurst, speaking in his pulpit In
Madison Square Presbyterian church
yesterday, made n vigorous assault on
the Westminster confession of faith.
He said:
I'VE ought to have n new confession
of faith. 1t is surprising that the
Presbyterian church is able to do as
much as II Is doing with such an In
cubus strapped upon us us we are tot
tering under In our present confession.
In the first place, the thing needed is
not system of theology. for that is
what our present confession Is, but a
simple, brief Saxon statement of n
half dozen of the vital ingredients of
Jesus Christs message to the world.
could get along with confession of
faith containing but the little that Je-
sils said when he was trying TO make n
Christian of Nicodemus: God so loved
the world that he gave his only begot-
ten son, that whosoever believeth In
him should not perish, but have eternal
life.'
"Thnt gives to us the doctrine OF
Gods unlimited love, human guilt, the
divinity of Christ. salvation through
Christ, faith in Christ, Immortality;
every word Saxon, three-quarters of
the words monosyllables, profound
enough for any elder, simple enough
for any four-year-old.
AT any rate, we want new creed
Amending this one will not meet the
necessities of the case. Better give 1t
dignified place in the museum for
what II Is, than hack 1t to pieces and
revamp 1t for what II Is not"

1t may be n proper thing for the
United States to make provision for
the partial support of schools of min
ing and metallurgy In this part OF the
world; but It is not credltable thing
for the state of Colorado that its State
School of Mines should have to depend
upon an appropriation by Congress for
the funds necessary to keep ii going.
As things are now. It win take about
one more fusion governor and LegIsla-
ture to put the state schools of all
kinds on the retired list.

In paper read before the Manches-

entitled, "On Internal Migration in
England and Wales" Professor Flux
gave an account of the results of the
net inward anc outward movement In
each registration district of England
and Wales in the interval between the
censuses of 1881 and 1891. Measuring
intensity of movement by the proper
tion OF net migration to mean popula-
tIon, the absorption is most marked in
the London suburbs. and in convent

movements indicate some amelioration
Of the evils of life in crowded elites.
The districts from which eiiiux has
been strongest are found in the south
west, In Wales, on the Scotch border,
and in northeast Yorkshire and Lin

he broke out into anarchists threats.
Acting upon this hint, Professor LON

his mind when the effects of the alco'
