FAvoRs BOTH ExPosITIoNs.
Prof Lawson Wants Building for
Colored People at Jamestown.

There was large attendance of the
members of the lyceum of the Second Bap-
list Church, Sd street between H and
streets northwest. yesterday afternoon. and
the principal discussion was of the subjects:
Should Congress make an appropriation
Tor the jamestown exposition? and Should
negroes have building at the exposition.
separate and distinct from the rest of the
American people?'
Prof. Jesse Lawson, president OF the Ma
tonal Sociological Society. who was COM
missioner from the national capital to the
Atlanta exposition in 1895. made the princl-
pal address He favored both propositions,
claiming that expositions were great educa-
tonal institutions. and that a separate
building, managed and controlled by the
negroes would afford an opportunity for
the race to show what has been accom-
plished since emancipation.
Other addresses were made by former
Representative George ii. White. James K.
Hunt, Charles r. Douglass. DR. E. II. Allen,
and Messrs. Gordon. Toomey and Sutphen-
John P. Green presided over the meeting.

d ' eillaT I one In many ways. Sir AL

II was one representing the entire Christian
world. attended by delegates from many
countries of the world. as well as by stu
cents from many colleges Over 700 col
ieges were represented by about 1900 del
esates at the convention. The convention
was notable also because there was no an
plause at any OF the sessions. as all were
intent on their work. The delegates at
tended each session, without knowing be-
forehand who the speakers were to be-
SIT AlSernon Coote stated in the course
OF his remarks that he was sent to this
country to investigate the Y. NJ c. A. here
and that he had visited the buildings in
several cities. The local building he stated
is the finest he had seen in this or In any
other country, and he congratulated the To-
cal association on having such magnlfi-
cent building and equipment.

Commissioner mcfarland, upon being in
troduced. that students of Williams College
gathered around the haystack and started

est Christian forces of the country are con-
tained In the colleges OF the many con-
ventions which he has attended. including
eight national political conventions this

Mr.. Hastings viewed the meeting from
the standpoint of a missionary from the

ton 10 feel that that immense body of
young men and young women We're back
of the workers in the foreign countries. and
that so many of them were going into the
foreign fields TO work.
