NEGRO BAPTISTS IN A ROW
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR NEARLY
DISRUPTs CONVENTION.
Resolutions Severely Criticising Roose.
welt Replaced by MiIder Set
After Stormy Discussion.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Despite the
efforts of some of the leaders to keep
out of it's discussions all matters po-
litical, the national negro Baptists'
convention Monday, after a stormy
session in the course of which Presid-
ing Officer Morris threatened to leave
the chamber, holly debated the
Brownsville affair.
The committee on the state of the
union had refused to eliminate from
its report all reference to the question
and had prepared resolutions on the
subject which, it was learned, severe
ly criticised President Roosevelt and
strongly praised Senator Foraker for
the stand he had taken. 1t was only
through fear of disrupting the conven-
ton that the delegates, after support
ing the purpose of the committee to
submit the report, reconsidered and
consented to milder set of resolu-
lions offered by the presiding officer.
The resolutions are as follows:
In common with all good citizens,
we deplore what has come to be
known as the Brownsville affair, and
we trust that time will yet reveal the
real perpetrators of the crime
"The entire country is under a debt
of gratitude to the Hon. J. B. Foraker
and others who secured for the
soldiers the right to be heard in their
own defense"

WELLMAN STARTS;
IS driven BACK
ARCTIC EXPLORERS AIRSHIP
AMERICA LANDS ON A
GLACIER.
Storm Is Encountered - Machinery
Worked Well, But Gale Was Too
Strong-Attempt to Reach Pole
Abandoned for Year.

Tromsoe, Norway, Sept. 14.-Walter
Wellman and his party, composing the
Wellman-C Chicago Record-Herald polar
expedition, arrived here Thursday
evening on the steamer Frithjof from
Spitzbergen.
Mr.. Wellman says the airship Amer
lea left her shed September and
made an escent in bad weather, but
she proved so strong and behaved so
well that start north was Immediate
ly made. The airship, however, en-
countered storm, was driven back
and landed on top of glacier. Every
thing was saved.
Arship Beats Steamer.
When the airship left the shed it
was anchored to steamer, the Elk
press, which helped to tow it to Vogel
Bay island, two miles northward to
Camp Wellman. Rosenberg and Wand
man occupied the car. The motor was
found to work splendidly and, when it
was started, drove the America ahead
of the steamer. 1t was found that the
airship answered her helm well.
Beaten Back Over Mainland.
Off Vogel Bay island the America
was freed from her anchor ropes, but
an increasing gale and driving snow
storm beat her backward over the
mainland of Spitzbergen. Seeing the
hopelessness of attempting to battle
with the gale, the valves were opened
and the balloon quickly descended on
a glacier.
The occupants of the car secured
the balloon. A rescue party from the
steamer reached the glacier an hour
and a half later and had considerable
difficulty in saving the airship. The
balloon portion had to be cut in two
and the car was taken to pieces in
order to enable the rescuers to trans
port it over the ice hills and assures
to the sea. After two days work this
was successfully accomplished and on
the evening of September the mem
bers of the expedition got back to
Danes island, whence they sailed for
Tromsoe September 8. Maj. Jersey
is returning in fishing boat.
Abandoned for Year.
Trondhjem, Norway, Sept. 14.-Wal-
ter Wellman on arriving at Tromsoe
announced that he had definitely
abandoned for this year, after disas-
trous trial of his airship, the proposed
attempt to reach the north pole.
The airship ascent September 2 was
in strong northwesterly wind, which
drove her southeastward over the land.
1t was found necessary to cut the bal
loon adrift from the other parts of the
airship, but it was recovered after two
days search.
Mr.. Wellman says he will make an
other attempt, with a new airship, in
1908.

PEOPLE OF PARIS ENRAGED
SAVING OF SOLEILLANT FROM
GUILLOTINE STIRS WRATH.
Curious Demonstrations to Express In
dignation of the Populace Are
Led by Women.

Paris, Sept 16.-The increasing in
dignation of the masses against the
escape from the guillotine of Soleil-
liant, known as the "monstrous vio-
lator and murderer" whose sentence
to death for the atrocious murder OF
12-year-old girl was committed last
week by President Falileres to life
Imprisonment, was expressed Sunday
in series of the most curious public
manifestations that have occurred in
France for long time.
The demonstration, despite the fact
that several arrests were made, was
almost entirely an orderly one. Many
women participated. 1t was organized
not So much against Soleillant, as to
express the voice of the populace
against the wave of unspeakable
crimes committed on little girls which
lately has Increased to an alarming de-
gree end which it is feared the COM
nut alton of the sentence of Soleillant
will OILY stimulate.
Several thousand persons were en-
gagged in demonstrations at various
points of the city, and especially large
was the crowd in the Place st. Am
brslse near which lived little Martha
Frberding, the victim of Soleillant.
The rage of the women of this district
has been great since President Fall
Heres showed clemency to Soleillant.
THY assembled Sunday afternoon
with their husbands and sympathizers
and were augmented in numbers by
crowds of curious persons. Their or
Gerly cries for justice were quickly
changed to cries of Death to Sole
lllant!" and Down with Fallieres!"
as the procession, led by woman who
carried little girl on her shoulders
with the purpose of indicating the OBJ
ject of the manifestation, moved to-
ward the Place De La Republique.
Soon the streets were choked by q
vast mob, and the police reserves were
called out to dispense it. The parade,
however, assembled again, and several
of the more violent demonstrators
were arrested.
Meantime other parades had been
organized in different quarters of the
city, one in the Place Vendome, at
the ministry of justice. This, also, was
led by a woman with babe on her
shoulders. The crowd shouted Death
to violators." At nightfall this pa
rade was dispersed by the police, who
feared that with darkness disorder
would break out Smaller professions
traversed the grand boulevards of the
city.

Being strong young man has it's
disadvantages in Turkey. Elsewhere,
military service is seldom obligatory
in times of peace for more than three
years, whereas in the sultan's realm it
is no unusual thing for a soldier to be
kept in the army for seven years. But
the young Turk seems to be wonder
fully patient. A German correspondent
at Salonica had occasion the other day
to observe number of military men
at railway station. They had been
discharged and had taken their seats
in the train, when, shortly before it
was to leave, message came from
headquarters stating that the mazbada
regarding their return had not arrived
and that there was no money anyway
to pay for their passage. Without q
word of complaint the troops left the
train and went into camp, where they
had to wait several weeks before they
were finally sent home. There have,
however, been signs of disaffection Of
late, and the minister of war has pro-
claimed his intention of shortening
the time of service.

Perfumes to Arabia.

Once more is brought to mind the
changes wrought through the turning
of times whirligig. Who would have
thought that America, an unknown
land when the east was at the height
of its fame, would ever become a
caterer to a special oriental fad?
There was time when the east was
noted as the originator of various lux
uries, including perfumes of the most
exquisite order. Shakespeare hints at
this when he makes Lady Macbeth af-
firm, after the indelible mark of crime
has been impressed: Cali the per-
fumes of Arabia will not sweeten this
little hand" Yet now, says the Troy
Times, it seems Arabia may get its
perfumes from the United States. Con-
sui William Coffin, stationed at Maskat,
says there is an excellent chance for
the sale of the American article in
that quarter, remarking: "Perfumery,
an article of luxury among Europeans,
sity in Oman, where men as well as
women use it lavishly. On formal
visits 1t is usually offered to a guest
after sherbert and coffee have been
served. and favorite present, where
many services are requited by gifts in
stead of money, is an expensive bottle
of scent. Arabia, so long famous for
its spices and perfumes, now goes
abroad for its perfumery." After ex-
planning at considerable length the
best way in which to put up American
perfumes in order to attract native
fancy, Consul Coffin again points out
that there is an opportunity for secur-
ing considerable custom among the
well-to-do not only of the city of
Maskat but of the country at large. So
here Is chance both to expand
American trade and shed fragrance
abroad.

Habit All Too General and Influential,
Says Writer.

According to Rupert Hughes, writ
ing in Harpers Weekly, the habit OF
generalizing from single sentences is
far too general and influential. One
would think, from some Of the gen.
eralizatiohs, he says, that the monop-
olists of money, for example, had
also monopolized wickedness. yet
the news of the day will tell Of
preachers caught in plagiarism or
adultery, of druggists selling poisoned
soda water, Of bakers vending unclean
bread, of theological students cheat
ing Each trade, he says, has its graft
The fact is that drawing indictments
against classes is as insane and illog-
ical as drawing indictments against
nations" There are burglars who
are chaste, and parsons who are sots;
there are rich women who are nuns
of asceticism, and poor women who
are so vilely extravagant as to bank
rupt their ditch-dlgging keepers; there
are poets who are domestic models.
and plumbers who are voluptuaries;
there are rich men who overwork, and
poor men lazy enough to beg; there
are millionaires' sons who are normal
