TO CODIFY MILITARY LAWS.
Gov. Gambler Says State Will Furn-
ish Guns and Uniforms, but Not
OxercOnts and blankets.

Atlanta, March 25.-Gov. Gambler, in
speaking of the recommendations made
by the advisory board on Saturday, said,
to-day, that he would endeavor to arrange
to provide more than forty guns and un-
forms for companies having more than
that number of members, the limit to
each company being sixty.
He is also in favor of the revision Of
the military laws of the state, and will
at an early date appoint board of Off
GERS in accordance with the recommended
ton to codify the military laws.
He says it would cost about S5.O0O to
equip all the commands of the state with
overcoats and blankets, as recommends,
and that is out of the question.
He will endeavor however, as soon as
possible to supply to each regiment 100
overcoats and 100 blankets. These, he
considers, will be all that will be requir
ed for any active duty the tro ops may
he called on to perform. He does net
think he will furnish the officers of tie
state with Colts revolvers, as requested.

the menacing demonstrations of the strik-
ers, who call themselves reds" ana the
non-strikers, ''yellows." Early this morn
ing strong detachments of infantry and
cavalry were unexpectedly massed at pit
heads in various parts of the town. Be
fore the reds" realized the situation,
bodies of ''yellows" had descended into
the mines. The strikers assembled quick
ly, but were overawed by the troops.
II was feared that there would be trou-
Bile when the "yelows" left the mines
for the the day. During the afternoon
an immense and threatening crowd as
sembled, but the strikers were helpless In
the face of the rigorous precautions taken.
The ''yellows," surrounded by hedge of
gendarmes with fixed bayonets. which was
again surrounded by a strong detachment
of cavalry with drawn swords, proceed
ed along thu street amid storm of boot
ing and shouts of Down with the yell

especially violent.
The procession stopped before the home
of each yellow and the entrance of

CONDITION OF NEGRO
MIST LOOK TO CATHOLIC CHURCH,
SAYS BISHOP KELLEY.
ST. MARY'S CONSIDERATION.
IMPOSING CEREMONIES AT CHAR
LESSONS OLD CHURCH.

Negroes No Better Relieiously or
err of Century Ago--CathoIic
church Has Done Nothing for
Them Because She Had but Few
Priests and Limited Means in south
Asserts That Negro Must Look to
the Catholic Church for AmeIiOra-
ton of His Spiritual Condition.
Charleston, S.. c., March 25.-St Mary's
Roman Catholic Church, the oldest in
the Carolinas and Georgia, was conse-
Grated to-day with imposing ceremonies.
Bishop Northrop of Charleston was the
oficiating priest, assisted by Bishops
Monaghan of Wilmington, Del. Halde of
wilmington, N. c., Kelley of Savannah
and Mgr. Quigley and thirteen priests.
The sermon was preached by Bishop
Kelley of Savannah who forcibly pre-
sented the claim of the Roman Catholic
Church to infallibility. In reference to
the negro problem he said two non-Cath-
Ole religious bodies have practically mo-
nopolized the field of church work among
the negroes.
Are they any better religiously Or
morally than they were a quarter of a
century ago? Have honesty and personal
purity any stronger hold on them now
than then? My answer is, unquestionably
no. The reason the Catholic Church
could heretofore do nothing FOR them was
that she had but few priests, and limited
means in these states. There is involved
in this question social problem, and on
its practical solution depends the well be-
ing of both peoples: depends, may be, the
preservation of our civilization. 1 have
no hesitation in making the assertion that
10 the Catholic Church must the negro
look for amelioration of his spiritual con-
dition."
He closed with tribute to Bishop Eng
land of Charleston and said of the an
Gent church, in which he was preaching:
st. Mary's almost ante-dates the hier-
archy in the United States, for one year
before our first bishop, John Carroll, was
cOnsecrated, arrangements were COM
menced for it's formal establishment"
