THE RACE CONFERENCE.

to the Gathering.

to the Gathering.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 10.-The
Montgomery race conference closed its
third days session in blaze Of success.
| Each day has added interest to the meetings.
| and the crowds have increased until to.
night the vast auditorium was filed to
| the doors to hear Bourke Cochran. The
morning session was devoted to the ques-
| tion of the Negro in Relation to Relig-
| ion," and was discussed by distinguished
Presbyterian. Methodist, Episcopal. and
| Catholic cIergymen. All but one took the
| ground that it was better for the negro
| that he should be taught religious doc
| trine by the white people Of the different
| churches.
The subjects Of Punishment Of Crimes
Against Women" and rs Lynching Ad-
visable," we're assigned to the Hon. C.
King, OF Atlanta, and to the Hon. Cliff
ton Breckenridge, Of Arkansas. These
men both took conservative grounds upon
this question.
Mr. Cochran received an ovation when
he was introduced. the applause lasting for
five minutes. He began by saying the
negro question was purely a Southern
question, and the problem must be solved
| here. There was no time to swerve from
! duty at conference like this, and men
should be honest in their statements. He
| added.
THE Southern people have borne the
burden Of slavery. and have recuperated
under such circumstances as no other peo-
| pie could have done. The horrors Of :e-
| construction we're lived through. and the
people were brought in contact and under
control of their former slaves. That the
| abolition of Suyerv WIG mot an injury tn

The fifteenth amendment, Mr.. Cochran
| declared, was a dead letter in the South
| because the people in the States had made
| up their minds not to submit to it. Public
| opinion in the South WIS against it. and on
that account it could not be enforced.
Mr.. Cochran declared that the intelii-
gence of the white man will always tri-
umph, and the black man must be content
to take second place.

Buffalo Duel In the Zoo.

ernest Seton-Thompson. in The Century,
The buffalo herd had so far reverted to
the native state that the old bull ruled for
several years. much as he would have done
on the plains. He was what the keeper
called mot q bad boss" that is. he was not
malicious in his tyranny. One of the
younger bulls made an attempt to resist
him once, and had to be punished The
youngster never forgot or forgave this, and
a year or so later. feeling himself growing
in strength. he decided 10 risk il again. He
advanced toward the leader. John L."
and shook his head up and down two or
three times, in the style recognized among
buffalo as challenge. The big fellow was
surprised, no doubt. He gave a warning
shake. but the other would not take warn
ing. Both charged. But. to the old bulls
amazement. the younger one did not go
down. What he lacked in weight he more
than made up in agility. Both went at 1t
again, now desperately. After two or three
of these terrific shocks the old one realized
that he had not now his old-time strength
and wind. AS they pushed and parted.
the young bull managed to get under the
other, and with tremendous heave actual
ly pitched his huge body up into the air
and dashed him down the hillside. Three
times the old bull was thus thrown before
he would yield. and then he sought to save
his life bv flight. But they were not now
on the open plains; the pen was limited.
and the victor was OF a most ferocious tenn

stout ropes and fences interposed were no
better than straws. The old bulls body

The news of yesterday concerning 10
Roberts successful crossing OF the END
River and the retreat of the Beers tends
TO encourage an opinion that the British
advance canno; be checked by the ulti-
mate force which General Botha has, CT
can summon 10 his ass.stGnte. Beyord the
Zand the Beers are stated TO have held
line twenty miles long, and it is TO be
presumed that they had it web entrenched,
as reports to that effect have reached us
during the past ten days.
Evidently they we're unable 10 risk
general engagement on account OF the VIDE
extension Of the British lines, which would
threaten their development and perhaps an
end of resistance. No doubt our late
dispatches this morning will give details
of more or less heavy fighting in spots,
and there will be gazette of casualties.
But it is plain to the professional student
of the situation that Roberts, like General
Sherman, would rather flank than fight
when the former is feasible. Fortunately
for the butchers bill, he has the over
whelming force necessary for that Kind
of tactics, and he will be all the batter
able to apply it when Butler is re-
leased from Natal and can join him on the
extreme right. Then it should be practi-
cally impossible for the Beers to put up
front against the main force of the British
army. One cannot see how they could
fail to be turned in any position they
might take, no matter how intrinsically
defensible. With such strong and now
mobile force as their enemy has at dis
posal they must retreat or be surrounded
wherever they make stand.
This leads us to consider the future char
acter of the war, If it is to continue. 1t
should not take long for General Botha to
decide that he is powerless to stoI the in
vasion in its front. The reasonable deduc
ton would seem to be that he would aban-
don that kind of warfare while yet he has
men and means to resort TO the alteTna-
tive, which, of course, would be segregated
movements against the British fanks and
communications. No doubt the War
Council at Pretoria intends such change
of programme whenever the other bell
ligerent penetrates TO the mountain coun-
try of the Transvaal; but it seems to US
that it might as we'll be made now. We
presume that the momentary Boer policy
is to gain time, in the hope that there
may be foreign Intervention; but that
chance becomes more and more remote as
the ability of the British general to over
come resistance develops. The conditions
in South Africa today strongly support the
opinion that the Salisbury Government
made no mistake in putting Roberts and
Kitchener in charge of the war. Appar-
emily. they are handling it In a most
workmanlike manner.

The Cuban postal service scandal is not
Q surprise The country has been waiting
for the beginning of series of disclosures
Of the kind for months. Direct evidence
has been wanting, but in many directions
the public mind has been prepared for such
developments. Corruption is often detected
by the senses before the exact location OF
the decomposing cadaver can be deter
mined.
The loot OF the Cuban postal revenues
by trusted favorites of the Administration
only illustrates a condition, necessarily
the result of methods which have been the
undertaking rule ever since the trusts and
monopolies brough; about the election OF
William Mckinley to the Presidency In
1896. When that amiable but hopelessly
mortgaged man came into power. he came
loaded down with political debts to trusts
combinations, and individuals, to an ex-
tent never known before in the history
Of the country. His debts have been paid
to the trusts by means OF legislation In
their behalf, profitable to them but no.
toriously bad for the American people. OBJ
legations to individuals have been settled
by giving them Offices Of great authority
and opportunity, and they have availed of
both by appointing to subordinate positions
people of their own kidney. One of the
first consequences of this has been that In
Cuba we have the spectacle of Mckinley

The Dog Muu,le question Again.

Mr.. George W. Evans. Chairman of the
Dog Owners Association, has had an inter-
esting discussion with the District Health
Officer on the subject of the alleged pres
ence Of rabies in the District Mr.. Wood
ward declares that this disease is still
prevalent" and has been so ever since
last December: and Mr.. Evans, with thin
ly yelled sarcasm, thanks the Commits
sioners in advance for information of
single case of rabies that has been proved
to have existed in tho District since the
PRONUNCIATION of the muzzle ordinance.
1t does not appear that there is any
such case on record, and Mr.. Woodward
is reported to have said that people in
general do not quite know what rabies is.
1t thus appears that hydrophobia, which
has hitherto been regarded as an ailment
whose symptoms were unmistakapiS aud
whose termination was invariably fatal, is
really complaint something like scarlet
fever or smallpox, which may exist with
out the patient knowing that he has it.
The old -fashioned idea of rabies involved
such marked evidence of ferocity and de-
rangement on the part OF the canine pa
tient that nobody could possibly be under
any delusion as to what was the matter
with the animal
If there had been cases Of hydrophobia
among the dogs of this city during the
past few months it is safe to say that
there would not have been SO much pro-
test against the muzzle ordinance. But
the mere idea Of discovering that rabies
was prevalent In December. and muz-
cling several thousand dogs. belonging to
careful owners, for fear that they might
suddenly go mad in the street and bite
somebody, seems to have taken such
strong hold on the mind of the youthful
Health Officer that he cannot bear to let
it go. The muzzle ordinance does not pro-
tect human beings from dog bites. since
considerable part Of the dogs time Is
spent within doors, and danger, If there
be any, comes largely from the dogs which
have no masters and no muzzles 1t sim
ply prevents the animal from defending
himself il attacked by another dog, spoils
his temper, and sometimes brings him in
sorrow to the pound.

1t is said that the Administration ex-

the alleged Cuban postoflce defaulter, at

Nelly is at present in that harbor OF
refuge, constructed for the benefit of fugi-
tives from Kentucky justice. But 1t is not
impossible that Mount, having been en-
couraged from above to protect one class
Of fugitives, might feel that he had been
given plenary power over all such mat
tiers, and refuse to surrender one promi-
nent Republican who happens to have Of
Tended the Administration, while he is ex-
pected to keep immune others who are

ment If Mount really were to refuse to give
Nelly up.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
A Lively Debate Over Women's Right
to Representation.

to Representation.
CHICAGO. May 10.-Woman and her
right to seat in the annual conferences
furnished the theme for an unusually
lively debate in the Methodist Quadrennial
Conference today. The bringing up Of
the order of the day forced postponement
of the controversy until today, when
it is hoped the matter will be settled for
another four years at least. Friends OF
the movement declare that nine tenths Of
the delegates present favor it.
A resolution was adopted calling upon
the Bishops to appoint a committee of
seven to draft suitable resolutions to sub
NIT to the annual conferences to reduce
the number of delegates tothe General Con-
ference. The committee is to report not
later than May IS.
Joseph Bedford. of West Virginia Con-
ference presented a resolution that the
words his and him" in the discipline,
referring to Sunday school superintend-
ents, members Of the boards OF stewards OF
churches. ETC., be not interpreted as ex-
GLIDING women. On motion of W. L. Nc
Dowell. of Philadelphia. it was referred to
the Committee on Revisals.
The missionary Bishops-Hartell, Of

scented to the General Conference and DC.

OF Havana Causes III Feeling.
HAVANA May 10.-The Nationalist par
ty bids fair to break in two over the nomi-
nation Of General Rodriguez for mayor.
Senior Gener's friends assert that the con-
vention was called together without any
notification being given of the purpose of
the meeting. Only 100 out of the 200 dele
gates were present. Senior Gener's friends
we're mostly absent. They intend to ap-
peal to the ward committees to reverse
the conventions action. II the committees
do not do this Senior Gener will run as an
independent.
Senior Gener has been trying to get Gen.
Maxine Gomez to back him as a candi-
date. He said he refused to run for the
nomination until General Gomez sane
TONED his candidacy. General Gomez gave
mis- sanction then. but he cabled from San
domingo yesterday that he would support
the nominee Of the Nationalist party who
ever he might be. 1t is probable that
senior Mora will also appear as an indie
pendent candidate. He developed even
less strength than Senior Gener in the

ing the guilty persons connected with 1t

will not 60 far before learning that he
cannot safely rely upon his own Depart
ment to give effect to his efforts: that
he will come in contact with persons who,
because they are his subordinates, will
have knowledge of his movements, and
who in secret will side with the offenders
rather than with the Government. The
Postmaster General already understands
this, or else he is binder to his sur
