Richmond, Va. Nov. 14.-Amid the deep
est feeling and highest excitement the
Baptist general convention this morning
adopted a report condemning the Ameri-
can Bible Society as unfair to the Bap-
lists
The. question came up on the Sunday
school report by Rev Dr. J. II. Pitcher.
chairman Of the Sunday school and Bible
board He declared that the American
Bible Society is and has been for years
hostile to Baptist interests in America
He said this was deadly hatred arising
from the fact that the Baptists were care
fuI In translating the. Bible according to
The exact text, whereas the Bible society
insisted that the Scriptures be so trans
lated that they would mislead and con-
fuse those not previously acquainted with
them.
Dozen jump to Their Feet.
These statements created almost uncon-
trollabIe excitement. and a dozen speakers
were on the floor at once, making passion
ate appeals to be heard Several under
took to defend the American Bible
Society, and motions TO reject and adopt
came thick and fast
In the debate It was charged that the
American Bible Society insulted the Bap-
fists by refusing TO circulate among Asi-
attic people a translation Of the Bible
in which the Greek word 'baptizo' was
rendered dip" instead Of sprinkle. and
further by circulating a Bible in China
IN which the word "bapJso" was trans
lated wash, bathe, or cleanse instead Of
dip. as required by the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Baptist belief.
Report Is Adopted.
Finally. when quiet prevailed sufficient

adopted by an overwhelming majority.

over tO-day's session. The trustees Of
the Baptist ministers relief fund report
ed an income Of S5,99SS5, or SeC5,m more

He also went over the tariff ques-

revision Of the tariff was necessary
such should be worked out by It's

enemies. In speaking on this sub

resulted from such legislation, and ~

Democratic Lawmakers as rule had
voted in the halls Of congress against
the adoption Of measures intended 70

laws we're unconstitutional, but that
the Republicans are enforcing snch

uncertainty as to the fact that the
Downing party, principally composed
81 Democrats, formulated the treaties
