New York, May 14.-Three interest
ing events this afternoon drew hun
ereds of thousands of people from their
work and homes. The event first in
importance was the fremen's parade.
1t consisted of nearly 1000 men, and
about half of the city's fire apparatus.
Chief Croker lead the way up Broadway
to the Wor.d monument, where
they were reviewed by Mayor McClel-
Ian, and other city officials. The
firemen received continuous ovation,
from the crowds along Broadway.
The second event was the Speedway

horses assembled to see the trotters, the
PAGERS and the turnouts. Al the con-
clusion of the parade there will be eleven
trotting and pacing events. General
Nelson A. Miles and Police Commissioner

dred horses and rigs will be in line.
The last event, but not the least in
point of interest, is the formal opening

scented.

The Baptists.

The forty-ninth annual session of the
Baptist convention opened in Nashville
yesterday in the Union Gospel Taber-
nacIe, Gov. ]. p Eagle, of Arkansas,
presiding.
Professor S. G. Mitchell, of Richmond
College, read memorial from the Vir-
ginia general association on "The Negro
Problem" asking that the convention
consider it. The North Carolina cob
vention sent, through its secretary, DIR.
johnson, a similar resolution, with the
statement that North Carolina was al
ways ready to 90 everything possible to
uplift the colored race.
The memorial advocates the appoint
ment of committee to study the negro
problem and determine what methods
the Baptists should adopt to aid in the
uplifting and welfare of the race. Both
papers were deferred to a committee.

school and Bible board 500, 900 con-

From Washington.

rcor,esnondence of the Alexandria Gazette.I
Washington, d. c., May IA.
The EMPLOYERS Association, of To
ronto Canada, has adopted the Euro
mean method Of binding apprentices and
i doing all in its power to spread the
svstem. The members of the assocla-
ton claim that the young men OF the
nresent day do not attain the thorough,
practical training characteristic OF Brit
ish tradesmen, and unless determined
effort is made the crafts of the Dominion
will become depleted of good workmen.
The new apprenticeship indenture adopt
ed by the association contains clause
binding the young man to "well and
faithfully serve the employer, his secrets
keep, his lawful commands and those
of bis foreman and other superior officers
at all times obey, and shall give and de-
vote to the employer his whole time and
labor, and he will not during the time OF
employment join or become member
of any society that claims or attempts TO
control his actions" The employer re-
tains $25 year of the apprentice swages
as a guaranty of good behavior.
Minister Conger at Pekin cables the
State Department that the Chinese
government has for the third time given
him renewed and satisfying assurance
of its neutrality during the continuance
of the war between Japan and Russia.
According to Mr.. Conger the Chinese
government says that the maintenance
of neutrality "can and will be done.
Beyond question this renewed assurance
has been obtained by this government
simply because, as has been stated by
high authority here, Russia is anxions
to obtain some reasonable grounds
against China for exacting indemnity
after the present war is over. This
government anticipates such demands
and for the sake of American commerce
in the Orient is anxious to nullify their
potency.
Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, cables the State Department that
an English ship has been stopped by the
government at Manolas on the Amazon
river. She had been discovered to be
carrying 260 cases of ammunition for
Peru.
The position of treasurer Of the Panama
Canal Commission has been rendered Real
Admiral A. S. Kenny, U. S. N, retired, and

today to take charge ofthe hospital at Panama

From the Chaplin, s. c., News Early
in the spring my wife and | were takenwith
diarrhoea and so severe were the pains
that we called a physician who prescrib-
ed for us, but his medicine failed to give
any relief. A friend who had a bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave each
of us a dose and we at once felt the eff
fects. l procured bottle and before
using the entire contents we were en-
tirely cured. 1t is a wonderful remedy
and should be found in every household.

WireIess TeIegraphY.

New York, May l4.-Signor Marconi,
the inventor of the wireless telegraph,
was passenger on the steamship
Campania, which arrived today. The
inventor announced that he had demon
strated the possibility of keeping a
steamship in communication with land
throughout the entire voyage. Marconi
said that during the trip over he had
kept in communication with the station
at Poldhu until 200 miles from Liver
pool. Since this is over half the dis
lance from Liverpool to New York, it
would be very simple to pick up com
munication with station at Cape Cod,
after Poldhu had been lost. On his re-
turn trip Ma-coni said he would expert
ment sending messages to Cape Cod as
he did with the Poldhu station. Marconi
said that he had made an arrangement
with the Cunard line to furnish about
200 words daily for newspaper to be
published on each of the vessels of the
line.
