NEGROES IN SESSION
A TREMENDOUS CONVENTION
 MEETS IN ATLANTA.
Fully 1000 Present at Opening Governor Candler and Mayor Mims Deliver Addresses of
 welcome-Bishop Gaines.

Atlanta, Ga, August 6.-Fully 1000 ne- groes gathered this afternoon in the Az ricultural Building at Piedmont Park fer | the opening session of .ne Negro Young Peoples Christian and Edu ;ational Con- gross which is the most extensive con
 veation of colored people ever held in the l United Stats.
 Bishop Wesly G. Gaines of the A. M.
 E. Church is the President of the con | ference and his address was the feature of the opening day. Addresses of well com were made by Governor Candler of Georgia and Mayor Mims of Atlanta and responded to by Prof. J. Garland Penn of Atlanta. Rev. pr. E. D. Isaac of Nash vile, Rev. Dr. J. W. Jones of Charlotte, N. C.; Rev. Dr. W H Weaver of Pitts burg, and Rev B. w. Arnett Jr., of Springfield. o. The greetings of the Meth odist Episcopal Church were extended by Bishop John M. Walden of Cincinnati. The address of Bishop Gaines was in part as follows:
 "The race question will adjust itself naturally for God has ordained that a good and wise people will prosper any where and everywhere. Let responsibility of intelligence and Christian character clothe q man, despite his race and despi' @ his color. No opposition and prejudices will prevent his progress to wealth, hap piness and prosperity. I believe that the better class of white people in this country are anxious to see the negro be- come wise. intelligent and thrifty citi- zen. Many of them are helping forward his education by their money and influ- ence. We would be lacking in gratitude to the white men, both of the North and the South. did we not gratefully acknowl- edge their philanthropic gifts to the cause of negro education
 Our white friends are not our enc mics, and though often the worst ele- ments of our race bring shame upon us. they are wise enough and generous enough not to discount those of us who are honestly trying to make good citi- zens In this movement we will have the hearty indorsement of the better class of white people of this country and the negro who has intelligence and character has nothing to fear from this class who wish him to better his condition. They furnish no barriers to his industrial bet terment. but will gladly open to him avenues of employment and useful labor.
 When the negro shall have justified his position by thus fitting himself both in character and in intelligence for the best citizenships, his rights before the law will be more sacredly guarded and all complaints of injustice now some times unfortunately too well founded. will be at an end"
 Tonight's session was devoted to Sun day Schools and young peoples societies. Addresses were delivered by Rev. J. A. Whtted. D. D., Raleigh. N. C.. Rev. J. S. Caldwell. D. D., Philadelphia; Rev. F. D. Isaac. D. D., Nashville; Bishop Isaac W. Joyce. Minneapolis; Rev. w. B. Jackson. D. D.. Montgomery, Ala. Rev. j. W. Luckett, D. D, Hopkinsville. Ky. and Rev. W. D. Chappelle, D D., Nash vile.

 Man.

New Orleans. La. Aug. 6.-(speciaL)- At Touro Infirmary late tonight it was said that the condition of Hon. Tennent Lomax of Montgomery, was much inn proved over Monday afternoon, but he Is still very ill and the critical stage has not passed.

 It was said at the infirmary tonight that MT. Lomax may finger in this con- dition for several days or even weeks. yet he may die within a few hours. At the same time improvement may begin and continue with rapidity.
 The physicians will not say whether he will recover but say only that he Is crit. ically i'll.
 MT. Lomax is constantly attended by trained nurses. His mother and other rel atives are with him here.

MONEY WAS NOT REAL
MAN WHO WANTED TO BET ON JOHNSTON WAS A JOKER.
Supporters of Governor Jelks Looked in Vain for Countryman Who Announced He Had $2,5oo
 to Wager.

When the supporters of Governor Jelks yesterday read in an afternoon newspaper that large roll of money had been left at Trmbles livery stable on Lee Street, to be bet that ex-Governor Johnston would be nominated over Governor Jelks in the primaries on August 9, they were elated.
 It was announced that $2.50o had been left at the stable by countryman in his faith that the Jefferson County can- didate would be nominated. "Ah, ha," calculated an ardent Jelks | man of a sportive turn. Here Is easy money"
 Then he seized the telephone receiver. Hello. is that Trimbles stable?" He got an answer. '1s that countryman there with his Johnston money?' A pause ensued.
 Flows that? Know nothing about it; I'll be around there in a minute.''
 This sort of thing continued through out the afternoon. The telephone at the livery stable was kept busy.
 The ink was scarcely dry on the after noon paper before there was a string of callrs at Trimbles stable. The rush of Jelks men to the stable with money in their pockets amounted almost to a rush. O1c dDSWtTtu llle ttltpHOn6 CdliS and another met the line of eager callers. The callers at the stable were business men, political leaders and men whose fancy runs to betting when the odds suit them.
 One business man rushed to the stable with check for g.. 800 in his pocket.
 But there was no Johnston money at the stable There was no real money left there to bet on Johnston
 No man had left S, 800 or one dollar to bet on the Jefferson County candidate.
 Mir. Trimble. proprietor of the stable. met all callers and patiently explained thath no man from the country or from the city or from anywhere else had left money with him to bet on the result of the gubernatorial primary. It was all a mistage, he said, with which he had noth- in gto do. He knew no more of the an- nouncement than he did of the imaginary $2,500
 It was said that wag from the country had imposed upon the credulity of the afternoon newspaper. It was a joke per- petrated by a countryman with a sense of humor about him.
 The incident brought about considerable betting talk. A well known business man offered and he says his offer is still open. to bet $1oO to s75 that Jelks will be nomi- mated
 Chairman Teasley of the Jelks Cam paign Comittee said last night that sup porters of Governor Jelks had come to him with offers to bet any amount on the nomination of Governor Jelks. Some of them, he said were offering a regard of $1S0 for the production of man who was willing to bet S2,50O on ex-Governor John ston.

BANKHEAD IN WASHINGTON.
He Will Again Come South Latter
 Part of This Week.

Washington, August 6-tSpeciaD-Rep- resentative Bankhead of Alabama arriv- ed here today and will leave for the South during the latter part of the week.
 We have suffered from the effects of the drought in Alabama" said MT. Bankhead, but rains have come during the last few days which have benefited crops everywhere. I think the cotton crop will not be injured now that the rain has come. Our early corn has been injured but the country in my State is not in shape to give up good crops"
 Are the Democrats of Alabama talk ing about nominating Bryan in 19o4?' MT. Bankhead was asked
 They are not taking much interest in that as yet" he answered, but there are Bryan Democrats in Alabama who will have to be reckoned with when the time comes. No. can't say what is likely to be done."

SALISBURY UNDER FIRE.
House of Commons Discusses the Ap-
 propriation Bill.


 London, Aug s--During the discussion of the appropriation bill in the House of Com mons today. the Government was severely crit icised by various members regarding Its policy in Europe and in China. It alleged that Lord Salisbury had quarreled with France and Spain. had alienated Turkey, had driven Italy into the arms of France and had failed to resist Russia. while persistently courting Ger many with obsequious compliances and one sided secret treaties.
 In replying, Viscount Cranborne Under Sec retary of the Foreign office. made an illumi- native reference to the treaty with Germany by saying that if a secret treaty existed it was secret therefore 1t followed necessarily that the Government could not publish its terms. He denied the alleged quarrels with Euro pean powers, declaring that Pritains position in way insecure and that her infu- hgh.
 The Governmnt was striving, said Viscount CIanhorne to restore a normal state of affairs in China as speedily as possible. He thought the sooner Shanghai was evacuated by the forces the better. The Government had pro- posed evacuation to other powers. but 1t was quite impossible for Great Britain to evacu- ate alone The Government had hoped that negotiations for a commercial treaty would be successfully concluded before now. The abolition of the likin the most important object. It was hoped said the Viscount. that a solution would be found for all points of diff ference.
 In moving the bill. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach explained that he thought it desirable to alter one clause of the bill to enable the chan cellor to borrow funds. in temporarily hnanc- ing the exchequer by the issuing of treasury bills. He added that the Government expect ed to have to borrow E1j G0O00O to meet a de- fciency in the next quarter
 Replying to Edward Zeely (Conservative). who deprecated the lack of modern war ap piarce by the British Army and who urged tho establishment of a department responsible for the adoption of every invention necessary to the army navy. Premier Balfour denied that Great Britain behind other nations, He said the Government would grapple with the urgent question of a joint strategical de- partment to the best of its ability.

CHOLERA IN MANILA.
Major Maus, Surgeon U. 8. A., Tells
 of Its Ravages.


 of Its Ravages.
 Washington, Aug 6-The Bureau of In sular Affairs of the War Department to- day received a report from the Board of Health of the Philippine Islands and city of Manila, dated May 15. 1902 This re- port was prepared by Major l.. M. Maus, Surgeon. U. S A, the Commissioner of Public Health for the Philippine Islands. Its principal interest lies in the report on Asiatic cholera from the date of Its ap- pearance in Manila, March 20, 1902, to the date of the report, which shows that dur ing that time 1905 cases of Asiatic chol- era have been reported in Manila, 800 of whom died and 205 recovered. The cases in respect to nationality. deaths and mor- tality. were divided as follows: Filipinos S62 cases, 69s deaths; Chinese. 103 cases T deaths; Americans. g cases. IS deaths English, 13 cases. 10 deaths; Europeans and others. four cases. two deaths.
 From the beginning of the epidemic, all cases with few exceptions, were treat ed in cholera hospitals organized by the Board of Health. Major Maus calls at tention to the splendid work performed by the Sisters of Charity who were sent there as nurses
 There were practically no cooperation among the natives in regard to the re- porting of cases occurring in their fami- lies, and for this reason 1t became nec- essary to employ a large number of men acting as sanitary inspectors.
 There is no doubt, the report says, but that the ordinary household fly can trans fer the cholera spirilum from infected matter to food as Is the case with typhoid fever. The Board of Health has inaugu- rated a crusade against flies by. means of fly poison, and has begun the destruc- ton of maggots in the esteros.

 The figures are based upon the reports of the 4,5s5 national banks of the nation made at the close of business July le' and are compared with reports for same date of last year.

MAY SEIZE BRITISH SHIP.
Panama's Governor May Take the
 Quito Unless Ranger Takes Hand

Washington, Aug GA very interesting sit uation has developed at Panama which may re- suit in call upon the United States to pro- tect British interests there. Several days ago the Governor of Panama requested Commander Potter of the United States gunboat Ranger to leave the harbor and go in search for the Colombian warship Boyaca. which was sup posed to be in distress either through a break down of her machinery from having fallen in with one of the revolutionary vessels. Per mission was granted from here for the Ranger to do so. But. yet. Commander Potter re- ported that he would not go to sea because of the appearance off the harbor of a revo- lutionary shIp.
 Today he csbled that he had been informed that the Governor of Panama contemplated seizing the British vessel Quito and there be- ing no British warships at Panama, he asked for instructions as to what course to pursue. The presumption at the Navy Department is that the appearance of the revolutionary war vessel off the harbor alarmed the Government authorities and. having no ship at hand to meet her, they proposed to press the Quito into service, possibly for the purpose of arm ing her and sending her out to meet the in. surgent vessel.
