WANTS CONGRESS TO ACT.
Union League Club of New York Fa-
Vors Negro Suffrage.

New York, April 10.-The members
will take radical steps, it is said, re-
garding negro suffrage in the South at
their next meeting. In word con-
gress will be appealed to to deal with
the question along the line of radical
reduction of representation of the
Southern states in congress.
The report of the club committee on
political reform, which is expected to
precede the action favoring negro suf-
frage, it is believed, will create SEN
sation in the Southern states. After
reciting that Southern states have
taken steps to circumvent national
legislation giving suffrage to negroes
the report recommends that congress
be asked to take up the question with
out moments delay.
1t recommends also that this body
be asked to cut down Southern repre-
sentation and that large sum of
money be appropriated to test the
validity of the recently adopted con-
situations in Alabama, Virginia and
other states in the South.
The ablest counsel in this country
will be employed to prepare and argue
these test cases regarding the consti-
tutions mentioned. In addition to the
sums appropriated it is proposed to
ask the Individual members of the
club to contribute.
One of the prime movers is said to
be former Secretary Of the Interior
Cornelius N. Bliss.

that OF millionaire manufacturer
