Committee To Investigate Differences
 Makes Report.
 Washington, March e0-The commlttes to investigate the differences between the majority and minority members of the American National Red Cross Society has received the reply of the majority mem bers to the remonstrance of, John M. Wilson and twenty-one others.
 The reply says that the renonstrants nowhere indicate what relief # any they deem necessary and say that all objec- tions to the bylaws have been removed and that every demand of the minority has been met Also that the organlxa- ton Is ready to produce any paperS at any time or place indicated by tue con- mittee.
 It Is admitted that a very small part of the money and material for the Ms sIssippi and Ohio River flood sufferers passed through the hands of the treasu- Ter, most of 1t being sent direct to the field and usually to the president of the Red Cross.
 As to the Johnstown relief fund in 1888. the reply says that the local committees have made full reports, which rendered separate report superfluous. The reply concludes by saying the president of the Red Cross iB now confronted by cons spiracy to rule or ruin"

PARKER MEN VICTORIOUS
 IN STATE OF NEW YORK

strongly in favor of Judge Farksr's can- didacy for the nomination for President. He is quoted as saying;
 F. ?. Wheeler Talks.
 Judge Parker seems 10 be to be the strongest candidate that has yet been named as a Democratic possibility He is man of merit, ability and good sense. 1t Is true his career has been mainly as q Judge. but he has been notable in all the executive parts of the business of a Judge. As an example, since he has been Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, he has shown ability in the dis patch of the business or the court which is remarkable.
 Tn private life. in his management of his country property. he has shown that same sort of efIiciencys and practical good sense that distinguished many of the early fathers of our country. Tn my opinion, Judge Parker has shown himself a master of affairs which many Judges do not possess, believe that Judge Par ker ais President would be as free of .dic~ I.tation as any man who. could te named. Even if the personal popularity of President Roosevelt leads co his re-elec- tiof, 1t will be a great thing Tor the eoun- try for the Democrats to become united ir the support of man like Judge Park ef- campaign such as would be made m nlG OenaW. even IT 1t endea n qeteats which. please bear in mind do not ad- nit to beprobable. would point tho way to certain success in 1sR. while a cam paign marked with factionai qnarrels would De nothing snort of disaster. "There are O. large numbers of Demo- crats In the South and West who honest iy believe. though I believe mistakenly. that many of the Democrats of the East have been 500 much under the influence rf- 4aI if Ia fanTf saf c0g4- ctiiate the Democrats of the West and South. We cannot hope to do 90 unless a candidate Is brought forward who Is absolutely free from the suspicious engen- dered by the controversies of the past. Such man is Judge Parker"
