NEGRO PROBLEM DISCUSSED.
Report of The Committee On The State of
The Country.


At the Baltimore conference of the
African NJ. E. Church. which has been
in session at Frederick. the Rev. /. S.
Lee. ID. D., OF Annapolis. read the re-
port OF the committee on the state of the
country, in which the negro problem was
brought up and discussed freely. The
report in part as read was
The tendency in certain sections of
the South is to humiliate and degrade
the negro and weaken him by the enact
ion of discriminating laws by which to
deprive him OF his vote, and the intro
duction of the separate car law. 1t is
not again the enactment OF qualification
law that We complain, but against the
mode OF applying it, that the brother in
white is ever and the brother in black
never qualihed to exercise the right OF
franchise.
1--WE do not complain against the sep
arate cars for the races. but against be-
ing compelled to pay the same price that
others pay without receiving the same
accommodations, comforts and privileges
and all of this in the face OF the Constitu-
ton of the United States. The butcher
ing and roasting alive of human beings
has more the appearance OF degeneracy
OF once great people than it has of the
relic OF the dark ages of the world.
"The silence OF white pulpi,s and press,
and the silence OF the judicial and execu-
tive departments OF the country. both in
the States and in the nations, the absence
of mass meetings by the good white peo-
pie in our large cities. to condemn such
inhuman acts are evidences OF the lack
of moral courage to condemn lawlessness
and wrong and of the most deplorable
state of human society. We most earn
estly plead with the people of this coun-
try to adopt speedy measures to put an
end to and forever stamp as thing OF
the past the lynching OF persons charged
with crime. We do not want to evade
the law nor do we want the guilty to es-
cape punishment, but we want that pun
ishment meted out by law.

Memphis Reunion Committee Puts
It's Invitation to the President
in That Light.

Memphis. Tenn, Feb. 13.-The general
executive committee OF the Confederate
reunion has adopted the following reso-
luton with regard to the invitation to
President Mckinley to be present at the
reunion which will be held in Memphis
in May:
Whereas, it has come to the notice of
this committee that certain camps OF
Confederate veterans have condemned
the action OF this committee in joining
in an invitation TO the President 10 be
present on the occasion Of the reunion
to be held In May next, which action we
believe to have arisen from misunder-
standing; therefore
Resolved. That this committee recog-
nizes the unwritten law of the United
Confederate veterans that neither the
officers of said organization nor the host
at the reunion has authority to invite
any other than a Confederate to partici-
pate in such reunions.
Resolved, further, That I'm joining
with the business organizations and the
municipal authorities of the city In an
invitation to the President of the United
States to be the guest OF the city on the
occasion of the reunion to be held In May
next, this committee had no purpose to
infringe the organic rule of the Confed-
crate Veterans, and in order that no mis-
understanding may exist, It is now de-
olared that the invitation in which this
committee has joined to the President does
not imply that he has been invited to par
ticipate in the reunion of the Confeder-
ate Veterans. but that he is to be invited
to be the guest of the city on that occa-
sion."

guilty deserve death, the others should
be punished in other ways.
The foreign ENJOYS, on the contrary,
saw that even those who are least guilty

punishment, all must suffer the same

she can sentence the worst either to

LOOKS BAD IN MADRID.
Funeral Leads to a Riot and Police
and Gendarmes Have Their
Hands Full.

Madrid, Feb. 1S.-Musie on the public
squares and general holiday had been
arranged as to-day's programme of the
ADMINISTRATION marriage festivities,
but all this has been abandoned, on ac-
count Of the attitude of the populace.
With nightfall every approach to the
Puerta del Sol was jammed with the idle
popdlace. Insulting remarks were hurled
at the police and the civil guard. A
trumpeter sounded charge, which was
Imade with swords drawn. Heads were not
spared, many persons were injured and
there were numerous arrests The scat
tering crowds sought the shops and no.
tells. All of the front doors of the Hotel
de Paris were smashed in, great crowd
assembling there. The police and guards
charged into the streets leading to the
Puerta del Sol but the dispersed throngs
quickly reassembled.
In some quarters considerable anxiety
had lNen felt as to the outcome of this
evening, for reports have been circulated
that the agitators had selected tonight
for the beginning of an organized out
break
As was anticipated, the funeral of Don
Ramon de Campoamor was attended with
serious disturbances. Enormous crowds
gathered along the route taken by the
funeral cortege, which included the mem
bers of the academy and the ministers of
justice and public instruction, gendarmes
and mounted guards We're stationed at
strategic points. At the end of the city,
the demonstrators, who included many
students raised the cry Long live Ii
berty!' and having broken up into small
parties, proceeded to various parts of
Madrid to renew the demonstration. One
band of students began to stone a convent
on Torija street and the police were COM
PEELED to charge them.
In the evening fresh riots took place
at several points. The gendarmes charg-
ed with drawn swords, and a number
were wounded or bruised. These were
carried into the pharmacies and cafes.
The demonstrators replied to the charges
of the gendarmes with showers of
stones.
In the Rue Mentera some serious stone
throwing occurred. Flower pots and 9TH
er missiles were thrown from the balco-
nies at policemen, several of whom were
injured. One boy is said to nave been
killed. The police were obliged to call
mounted geRdarmes, who charge and dis
persed the rioters.
Altogether some thirty arrests were
made during the day, including a mill
tary officer whose arrest resulted in a
protest by his brother officers, the mat
ter being referred to the captain general.
The authorities have warned the news
papers that they must abstain from criti-
cisms of acts of the royal family or the
publication of news or comments calcu-
lated to fan the present agitation.
During the afternoon the ministers held
ar important council. The evident inten-
tion to deaf severely with offenders
against public orders seems to be hay

Bell Criticised.

Washington, Feb. I3.-The Senate to-
day confirmed the following nominations;
James H. Wilson OF Delaware, and Fitz-
hugh Lee of Virginia, now brigadier gen
erals of volunteers, to be brigadier gen
erals in the regular army; Col. John c.
Bates, Y. S. A. (major general U. S. W

Campbell, Thirtleth Infantry, U. S. ", to
be brigadier general U. S. V.
Colonels to be brigadier generals:
Lloyd Wheaton, George w. Davis, Theo-

p. Hughes, George NJ. Randall.
Also to be brigadler generals: Capt.
Leonard Wood (now major general u. s.
W; Maj w. A. Kobbe (now brigadier
general U. S. W; Brig Gen. Fred d..
Grant U. S. ", and Capt. j. Franklin
Bell mow brigadier general U. S. W.
The nominations were considered at
two executive sessions Of the Senate to-
day.
Senator Pettigrew opposed Gen. Bates
confirmation because Gen. Bates had ne
gotiated the treaty with the Sultan of
Sulu.
Senator Pettigrew vigorously criticised
this treaty, as also did Senators Teller
ard RawlinS. They referred especially to
its recognition of the institutions of slav-
cry and polygamy which they claimed
was repugnant to the tastes of the peo-
pie of this country as well as to the con-
stitution. No one, however, made objec-
tion to Gen. Bates continuation on the
vote.
The criticism of Gen. Wood was con-
fined to the fact that his military record

remarks of Senator Pettigrew. Senator
Lodge responded, saying that criticism
of man, who had done so much for the
country as Gen. Wood had done at a
critical time, is preposterous.
At a second executive session all the
nominations for brigadier generals were
confirmed after a Continuation of the dis
cussion. Senators Bate of Tennessee, and
Jones of Arkansas, objected to the nomi-
nations of Gen. Wood, Gen. Grant and
Gen. Bell on the ground that their NOM
nations constitute breach of the rule
of seniority in the army, and exceptional
emphasis was laid upon Gen. Woods
nomination on that account.
Senator Pettlgrew contended that Gen.
Wood was without practical experience In
the art of war and as leader of men.
Senator Lodge said Gen. Wood had par
ticipated in the battle of Santiago and
Senator Pettigrew read from Senator
Lodges history of the Cuban war to
show that the latter had not mentioned
Gen. Wood in connection with that battle
