FAVOR NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Union League Club of New York
 to Take Radical Steps.

Will Ask Congress to Reduce Repre-
 sentation of Southern States-The
 Club Had Test Case a Year Ago
 When it Voted to Keep Negro Ser
 wants by Vote of to l.
 New York, April 9.-The members of the Union League club of this city will take radical steps, 1t is said, favor ing negro suffrage in the south at their April meeting, which occurs tonight.
 In a word, congress will be appealed to deal with the question along the line of a radical reduction of representation of the southern states in congress.
 It is just about a year ago that the Union League club was divided on the question of discharging negro attend ants. The negro servants were kept by vote of 3 to 1 after a stormy ses- sion. 5
 The report of the club n1mittee on political reform which is expected to precede the action favoring negro suff- rage, will, 1t Is believed, create a con- vulsion in the southern states, After reciting that certain southern states have taken steps to circu1nyent nation al legislation giving suffrage to negroes the, report recommends that congress be asked to take up the question with out moments delay. -l"
 It recommends also that this body be asked to cut down southern representa- tion, and that large sum of money be appropriated to test the validity of the recently adopted constitutions in Ala bama, Virginia and other states of the south.
 The ablest counsel in the country will be employed to prepare and argue these test cases regarding the consti- tutions mentioned. Tn addition to the sums appropriated 1t is proposed to ask the individual members of the club to contribute.
 One of the prime movers in this movement is said 10 be former secre- tary of the interior Cornelius N. Bliss.
 The club is expected to adopt reso- lutions following the adoption of the committees report. Ten thousand copies of these resolutions will be cir culated to state senators to prominent chruchmen and those in authority ev& anywhere.
 President Roosevelt was president of the club in 1899. He is still prominent in its councils. ft

HOLY WEEK SERVICES.
Special Services Being Held in Al
 Churches This Week.

Special Services Being Held in All
 Churches This Week.
 Special services were held in all the Catholic churches to-day, which is known as Holy Thursday. The mass on this day differs from the rest of the year. That of the Holy Eucharist is celebrated, a subject, therefore, of joy and thanksgiving, expressed by the ringing of bells and the white color of the vestments and the ornaments of the altar. But after the Gloria in Ex- celsis, the bells are silent during the remainder of the day, all Good Friday and Holy Saturday, until the recur- renee of the same angelic hymn on the last mentioned day. The blessed sac rament is removed from the principal altar, which is divested of its cover ings and ornaments. On Good Friday there is a bare representa- ton of the passion. The history of the passion of Christ Is read at the morning service and the venera- tion of the cross takes place. After the ceremony the blessed sacrament is brought back to the altar, and the mass of the presanctified follows. In the af ternoon at 3 o'clock the stations of the cross are held. ...
 Special services are also held in the Protestant churches to-day and to-mor- row. Tonight the Rev Joseph Ander- son will preach at the Second Congre- gational church. A morning service will be held at the First church to- morrow At St Johns church this af- ternoon an organ recital was held. It was followed by the regular service. Tomorrow there will be services at St Johns at 10 o'clock and from 12 to 8 o'clock. Tomorrow night there will be special services at St Johns church and Trinity church.
 To-day priests from all the local Catholic churches were in Hartford at tending the blessing of the sacred oil by Right Rev Bishop Tierney.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Washington Authorities Correct Chi-
 mese Bond Stories.

WASHINGTON, April B. Evidently considerable misunderstanding contin- ues regarding the bonds which China Is to execute to the United States in pay ment of the indemnity for the Boxer outrages provided in the protocol of April l, 1900. The statement from Pe- king that the American financial agent under instructions from the state de- partment is substituting a bond pro- viding for the payment of the indem- nifty i'll gold dollars in place of silver bond is denied in authoritative quar- ters
 Our government Is disposed to take it's own view of the interpretation of the terms of the protocol. This provid- ed that China should execute to the United States an indemnity bond at the rate of exchange provided in the pro- tocol, and it was also provided that the installments of the indemnity payable thereafter should be at the rate of ex- change existing when these payments fell due. If the United States, desiring not to avail itself of the loss which China should suffer in these payments as result of the depreciation in silver, prefers to demand them at the rate of exchange existing when the protocol was signed, that, it is held, is matter which concerns us alone and leaves the other powers to do as they please.
 The instructions of the department of state to it's representative in China who is conducting the negotiations relative to the settlement of the indemnity look to the retention of independence while faithfully carrris--0dr the engage ments entered into by the United States In the Peking settlement.

Says Congress Is Welcome to Probe
 Organization Since Her Connection

 "Malcontents' Have Made.
 New York, April 9.-Miss Clara Bar ton, president of the American Nation al Red Cross, in answer to what her associates say she considers the threats of the opposition to her admin istration, is said to court the fullest in vestigation by congress of the affairs of the organization from her first con nection with 1t.
 Miss Mabel T. Boardman, one of the active members of the Washington op- position, says she was suspended with out hearing, and cites Bishop Potter, Spencer Trask and Robert O.. Ogden as advocating a reorganization of the Red Cross to regain the confidence of the public.
 Speaking for Miss Barton, her per sonal representative says that she is in excellent health, but much worried over all the trouble the Washington "malcontents'' nave made for her re- gently.
 "As for congressional investiga- tion," Miss Barton's representative adds, Miss Barton neither fears nor opposes it. She would rather welcome it as the practical manner of having the Washington minority show what they mean by all assertions of malad- ministration and wasteful management they have been making, but for which, in spite of repeated requests, they have never yet offered definite, detailed charge"
