of White Men and One of
White and Black.
VICTORY FOR c. A. LYONS

DALLAS, Tex. March PIN the Texas
Republican state convention. held here this
afternoon. the feature noticeable was the
absence OF negroes, who heretofore have
taken much more prominent part in the
convention than was the case to-day. In
the morning a meeting OF the state execu-
tive committee was held.
While the regular convention was being
held there was held a session composed
Chiefly of negroes. with a few whites. and
a bolt from the regular convention was ef-
fected, two white and two negro delegates
being chosen TO represent the State at large
In the national convention al Chicago.
In the convention proper the following
delegates at large for the State 10 the ma
tionas convention were elected Cecil A.
Lyons. of Sherman. chairman Of the state
weston, national committeeman; &. M Fer
guSon, San Antonio, and VI. NJ. Rodgers.
La Grange The alternates are: David AD-
ner Seguin, H j. GOree, Atlanta; Thomas
Han, Palestine, and Judge r.. Z. Hannay

The result of the election of delegates is
. regarded a decisive victory for Chairman
Lyons, who also received the indOrsementlo r
national committeeman from the state. Inc

mending TO the stockholders:
"First-That the capital stock of this

AS required by the laws of the State

holders has been called for April y, at IL

Holders OF this company's stock TO a
large extent have already expressed their
approval of the recommendations of the
board. but the laws OF New Jersey require
a two-thirds vote of shareholders to permit
the company TO reduce the capital stock.
Such vote is the first step necessary for the
proposed distribution of the railway COM

CONES TO DEFENSE
OF AFRICAN NATIVES
Missionary in Southwest Africa
Declares Hereros Have Been
! Misrepresented.

BERLIN, March pa missionary in
Southwest Africa has written to the
Reichsbote defending the Hereros against
the charges of massacrng women and
children, and the indiscriminate slaughter
of men. He gives the names OF a number
of women who had been reported killed
but who all alive, although the Hereros
had opportunities to murder them. Native
Christians, the missionary adds, assisted
a number of women and children to reach
the military stations safely
The missionary further asserted that the
Hereros rebelled partly through the op-
pressions of the traders, partly owing to
the cruelties inflicted on them, and partly
on account of the disregard of the Germans
for the sacredness OF the marital relations
of the natives. The instruments of pun
ishment used included rhinoceros whips.
twenty-five strokes from which leave a
native bleeding and half dead
The atrocities committed by Prince Pros
per Won Arenbers helped to incense the
natives, the missionary declared, and the
fact was forgotten by the Germans. The
mother of Willie Cain. the native killed
by Prince Won Arenberg, was a sister OF
the leading chief and therefore had African
ideas of prncely rank. Finally the mis-
sionary asked: What German count or
prince would leave his sisters wrongs un-
avenged?"

SENATE CONSIDERS
THE INDIAN BILL

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Senate
spent the greater part of the day on the
Indian appropriation bill. Mr.. Lodge took
exception to the provision exempting can
didates for the position of Indian agency
farmer from civil-service examination, and
on his suggestion the amendment was
passed over without action. Other features
arousing discussion were those re-
lating to the designation of Indian school
superintendent as Indian agents and au-
thorizing the payment of claims made by
Indian tribes on account of the difference
between the value of payments made then
in greenbacks ard coin payments as re-
quired by treaties
Late in the day Senator-elect Dick, of
Ohio, appeared in the Senate chamber, the
first time since his election. He went di-
rect TO Senator Foraker's seat and was
cordially greeted, but their conference was
cut short by the announcement of ex-
ecutive session, from which Mr.. Dick, not
yet having taken the oath of Office, was
excluded under the rules of the Senate.
