MRS. DAVIS CONDITION
STILL UNCHANGED.
She Has Many Physicians But They
Offer Little Hope.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 26.-"Mrs. Da-
Wis condition remains unchanged" was
the report that came from the bed
side of Mrs. Jefferson Davis at Castle
Inn tonight. Owing to the advanced
age of the patient and the failure of
her organs to yield to the treatment
of the physicians in attendance, every
hour that passes adds to the anxiety
of her friends here and the relatives
who have fastened to her bedside.
Mrs. j. A. Hayes of Colorado Springs,
a daughter of Mrs. Davis, arrived here
tonight. Mrs. L. W. Hayes, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Hayes, came to Buffalo
with Mrs. Davis from the Humber
stone Club on the northern shore of
Lake Erie, and has been in almost con-
slant attendance upon her grandmother
since she became ILL.,
Mrs. Davis is conscious, although
very weak. She recognized her daugh-
ter the moment she entered the room
and greeted her with loving words.
-Four of the leading physicians of
the city held consultation at Castle
Inn this afternoon. DR.. Stockton, the
regular hotel physician, realizing the
seriousness of the case, has called into
consultation DR.. Roswell G. Park, the
surgeon who assisted in the surgical
operation upon President Mckinley;
Drs. Jones and Cary
The four physicians spent two hours
in the sick room this afternoon. No
opera ton has been performed upon
Mrs. Davis and it is doubtful if her sys-
tenn could withstand the shock of the
operation that would be necessary to
relieve her case.
At 10 o'clock tonight DIR. Stockton
made the following announcement:
Mrs. Davis condition is unchanged
Drs. Park, Charles Cary, Allen Jones
and myself held a consultation this
afternoon. 1t was decided to continue
the treatment which has been followed
since the beginning of Mrs. Davis ILL
ness. Mrs. Davis condition is serious"

TO REPLY TO GRAVES
DIR. BABRITT is COLLECTING VIEWS
ON RACE QUESTION.
CONSULTED MANY NEGROES.
TROUBLE CAUSED BY APPEAL TO
RACE PASSION, THEY THINK.

Does Not Seek or Teach Social
Equality with whites as a Conse-
quence of Equal Political Rights,
Rabbits COlIabOratOrs Say-DOn't
Want Negroes Education Limited
to Industrial Pursuits.
Washington. Sept. 26.-The views
of conservative negro leaders in this
city on the race question have been
formulated at a conference between
Rev. DR.. Dean r. Rabbit of the
Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn n.
Y, and the following prominent color
ed citizens: Rev. Francis G. Grimke,
pastor of the Fifteenth Street Baptist
Church; Prof. Kell r. Miller of How
ard University; Judson w. Lyons,
register of the United States
treasury; John C. Dacy, re-
corder of deed of the District of
Columbia; DIR. o. M. Atwood, Thomas
r. Clarke and Whitfield Mckinley.
DR.. Babbitt has devoted much time
to the study of this question and was
chosen at the recent Chautauqua
meeting to reply to the argument of
John Temple Graves. The composite
views expressed in signed opinions of
these eight colored leaders and submit
ted by DR.. Rabbit follow:
The spreading race prejudice is oc-
casioned by appeal to race passion by
politicians. The cure for the prejudice
is the application of Christian morals
and religion and just execution of the
laws. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the constitution should
be held intact.
1t is not the desire, wish or purpose
of the negroes as a race to seek, main
tain, emphasize or teach social equal
ity with the whites as a consequence
of equal political rights, and they
urged strongly that the negro's educa-
ton should not be limited to industrial
training.
They believe that the number of
crimes charged to the race have been
grossly exaggerated by their enemies;
that the real facts should be collected
and published and that the clergy of
the race should teach strongly against
these crimes and against intemper-
ance.
They urged a thorough organization
of their race under capable and re-
spectad leaders and an appeal to the
press and to the moral and religious
sentiment of the country, and espe-
cially to the white clergy. They OPP
posed the idea of separate political
party.

LABOR FACTIONS
PATCH UP PEACE.
Parks Crowd Repudiate Their own
Rump Convention.


Kansas City, Mo-. Sept. 26.-Pea ce
was patched up between the Buchanan
and Parks factions in the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers at their annual conven-
ton to-day.
President Buchanan had scarcely
called the convention 10 order in regu-
lar session when the Parks crowd ex-
pressed a desire to ignore the proceed
ings of their own rumH convention yes
terday and proceed in a regular way.
Then the conventions took a formal
vote on the motion tb reconsider the
vote by which Daniel SBrophy, a MEM
Der of Local No. g. and who had a
proxy from Scranton Pa, had been
seated.
Brophy was unseated by a good ma
jority. AS he rose to leave the hall
Samuel Parks advanced toward him
with extended hand. Brophy refused
to shake hands with the New York
walking delegate until the latter apollo
gized for the stinging words directed
against Brophy on Thursday. This
Parks did fully, and when the door
closed upon Brophy the convention set
tied down for the first peaceable session
since they convened last Monday.
lied and stopped long enough in their
quarrels to listen to the annual address
of President Buchanan, which was to
have been delivered on Tuesday.
President Buchanan in his address re-
ferred to efforts to discredit unions
because of their Indifference to con-
tract obligations. Capital" said he,
Continues to combine and consolidate
and it is necessary for trades unions
if they would maintain solidarity and
strength, to combine with others in
like way"
President Buchanan asserted that
within the last year government by in
junction had assumed wider and more
alarming proportions and recommend
ed that the convention appoint a COM
mittee to advice with all the other
organizations of the country for the
purpose of effecting a conference to be
held in the near future to consider
definite action to be taken with respect
to This great and growing evil"

SOLDIERS THREATEN
TO STORM JAIL.
Marshal of West Point Forced to
Release Prisoner.


Camp Young. West Point, KY. Sept.
26.-The denizens of the little town of
West Point were given their first taste
of excitement to-day as the result of
an incident following the arrival of the
regular troops by the train load. Near
ly 1,500 troops had arrived, when Pri-
vate Sparks of Company M, First In
fantry, which arrived from Fort Por-
ter, Buffalo, n. Y, was arrested for
some trivial offense by the town mar
shall and place in the cala.boose.
Owing to the hustle of arrivals and
the fact that many of the attachments
had not esta blished camp and guard
lines, the streets were full Of soldiers.
The word was quickly passed around,
a delegation sent to inform the TALLER
that unless Sparks was released in
twenty minutes, the soldiers would
storm the Jail and take him. The
twenty minutes expired without the
jailer being able to secure assistance,
and he released Sparks.
The soldiers avoided making any
demonstration while awaiting the Jail
er's reply, and Sparks had secured his
freedom before the army officers learn
ed what was afoot.
All the regular troops representing
every post in the Department of the
Lakes, arrived to-day, and by night
fall had pitched camp.

Believe in Protection Than Who
Believe in Free Trade-Speakcr
Claimed Large Portion of Demo-
cratic Party Believes in PrOtec-

ity with Canada-says Tariff Is
Antecedent Not Cause of Trusts.
Des Moines. Ia. Sept. 26.-Gov. A. b.
Cummins opened the Iowa Republican
campaign here tonight before 1000
people in the auditorium. Gov. Cum
Minis said he hoped the outcome of the
election this fall would demonstrate
to the nation that there are 100000
more men in Iowa who believe in the
principles of protection than believe in
free trade and who believe that the
Republican way of dealing with trust
evils is better than the Democratic
way.
The Governor said since the Demo-
cratic platform did not mention state
affairs he would pass state issues un-
til a later speech, and devoted his en-
tire time to a defense of the principle
of protection as opposed to the doctrine
of tariff for revenue only which is de-
fined as free trade. He predicted that
reciprocity, that is. trade arrangement
and agreement, will become the most
considered question of all public ques-
tions within the next quarter Of cen
fury.
Gov. Cummins said in part: The
Republican party believes in the pol
icy of protection, and If we may credit
the evidence of our senses, a large
proportion of the Democratic party
also believes in the policy of protec-
ton. When. however we undertake
the task of applying this policy to the
commerce of the nation, differences of
opinion at once appear.
Personally, 1 have no hesitation in
avowing that there are duties which
should be lowered to bring them to
the point of protection and the little
that l can do to influence legislation
in that direction. VIII be done. There
are others, undoubtedly. who believe
that the duties as a whole are as
fairly adjusted as they can be, and
I assume that they will act on that
belief
ut is not to be expected that direct
modification will be made during the
next session of Congress. work
that requires the utmost forbearance,
the most unprecedented consideration,
and the most temperate discussion, will
not be done in the fierce partianship
which attends a presidential contest"
Gov. Cummins favored reciproci-
ty with Canada, saying her coal, iron
ore and pig iron should come into this
country free as raw materials,
On trusts, Gov. Cummins said the
tariff was merely an antecedent and
not a cause of trusts.

baltimore, Md, Sept. 26.-John Skel-
ton Williams, president of the Sea-
hoard Air Line, was in Baltimore to-
day for few hours. He attended the
quarterly meeting of the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company, Coincident
with the visit of Mr. Williams was a
report that Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan, New
York. had become interested in the
syndicate which recently bought a
large block of Seaboard Air Line
stock. The report was highly inter
esting in view of the unsuccessful eff
fort of Mr. Ryan in the past to Sc
cure control of the Seaboard.
When Mr.. Williams was asked about
the report he said, This is quite I'M
true Mr.. Ryan is not a member of
the syndicate"
When asked in regard to the present
status of the Seaboard and the recent
reports that he was to resign from the
presidency of the system he said:
There has been no change in the
situation of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway as publicly announced at the
time of the entrance of Frisco Rock
Island interests into the board six
weeks ago.
The Seaboard system is an indie
pendent property and no change in
this condition is in contemplation
Neither am 1 considering any change
in my official connection with the sys-
tenn as it's president. My interests in
the road are now and always have
been large and sufficient to justify me
in giving most of my time to the de-
velopment and management OF the
property.

the Office of president as it would. In
such event, no longer be consistent with
my interests which are large in other
directions as well as in the Seaboard,
to devote my whole time to that en-
terpriSe.
THE position OF the Seaboard Air
Line system has in my opinion been
greatly strengthened and improved both
from a traffic and financial standpoint
BY the intimate association with the
property of the gentlemen who have
recently come into our board and by
the new and strong financial people
who have also" recently acquired large
interests in the property for invest
ment.
The policy and plans which 1 and
my associates have pursued in building
up the Seaboard Air Line system and
In operating it for the best interests
of the stockholders will be continued
and we naturally and reasonably look
for most excellent results from the
association and cooperation with US
of the able and experienced men who
have recently come into the Seaboard
situation and whose railroad connec-
tons and utilization can be of such
great value to this property"

LORD MILNER VITAL
TO SUCCESS OF CABINET.
He Will Go to England for Confer
ence With BaIfOur.


London, Sept 26.-Lord Miner has
not accepted the colonial secretaryship,
as was stated in a report current here
this evening. The Associated Press
learns, however, that he contemplates
leaving Carlsbad for England for the
purpose of comforting with Premier
Balfour, and that he is likely to ar
rive at the beginning of next week.
So determined was Lord Miner to
refuse a cabinet office that he told
friends only few days ago that he
would remain on the continent for a
long rest. His arrival in London and
his change of plans gave rise to many
reports as to his acceptance of the CO.
Ionial secretaryship.
The Associated Press learned further
that Mr.. Balfour regards Lord Miner
as vital to the success of the cabinet,
and is willing to postpone the recon-
struction of the ministry indefinitely, so
long as there is a chance of getting the
high commissioner of South Africa to
accent the vacant post. If, after per-
sonal appeals, Lord Miner persists in
his refusal. the Earl of Selbourne will
probably take over charge of the CO.
lonial Office.
