The police, without warning, broke into the room and by fore took from Mr. Dillon the money and papers he had in his possession at the time. Mr. Dillon at once bad the inspectors, who were responsible, arrested, the plaintiff taking the ground that he was not violating any law, and that the action of the police was an assault unwarranted and illegal. The Dillon-Times Question. ' London, May 9. The Earl of Carnarvon IConflerraUve) writes to the Jlmes suggest,-

ing that, as it is intolerable to allow the Dillon-Times question to rest in its present state, a special tribunal be created, outside of Parliament, invested Kith full powers to call and examine witnesses, and to which the decision of the matter shall be left. .While expressing confidence in the impartiality of the proposed tribunal, the Times says it is doubtful whether the Parcellites would consent to submit their case to such a tribunal. "Cut why," it asks, "should ingenuity be expended in devising amateur tribunals? Is not the law of the land good enough for Mr. P&rnell and Mr. Dillon r . The Oaeen's Beceptlon. London, May 9. The Queen to-day received atBnckingham Palace the corporation of London, which called by appoint

ment to present the Jubilee address on behalf of the city. In response the Queen said : "I thank you for this renewal of your assurance of loyalty and attachment to my throne in person. It gives me great satisfaction in looking back on the history of my reign to recall how much of ita prosperity is owing, under God, to the sound sense and good feeling of my subjects, the sympathy uniting the throne and the people. I trust, under divine blessing, this cordial sympathy may remain unbroken." Irish Meetings Prohibited. Dublin, May 9. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has prohibited the Nationist meeting and counter Orange demonstration announced to be held at Armagh to-morrow. Great excitement prevail at Armagh, and the police are arriving there to reinforce the local authorities. Foreign Flashes.

It is now stated tbat the reports of the loss of life among the immigrants on the French steamer. La Champaigne, which was beached after being damaged by a collision with the steamer Ville de Rio on Saturday, were exaggerated. Less than a dozen immigrants were drowned. ADDITIONAL INDIANA NEWS. Father and Son Dead, epeclal to the Sentinel. Jeffeksosville, May 9. Mr. Anthony Reagen, residing at Seilersburg, six miles from Jtßersonville, received a telegram Saturday evening informing him of the death of his father at Cleveland, O., and an hour later received another telegram announcing the sudden death of his brother at Louisville. Anthony Reagen, Sr., was an old resident of Clark County, but recently moved to Ohio, and had lived there but three short months. He was seventyeight years of age. William, the son, who died at Louisville, was aged forty-three years. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn his sudden and untimely demise. Saturday afternoon, after the week's work was done, William returned to the bams with his team, and while taking the harness from the fractious mule, he happened to stoop down behind the mule to pick up a strap that bad fallen, when the mule kicked with both hind feet, striking him in the head and mashing his skull, from which wound he died in five hours. His remains were interred In the Catholic Cemetery at Louisville Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, while the remains of his father were buried in Cleveland, Ohio, at the same hour. Attempted Arson Railroad Reenmea. epecial to the Sentinel. Corydon, May 9. A diabolical attempt was made last night to burn the large liquor wareroom belonging to Captain Furcell, of this place. The flames were discoyered and extinguished, however, before they had gained much headway. The building was evidently set on fire, as a huge wad cf paper saturated with coal-oil was found where the fire first started. The branch railroad leading from Coryden Junction on the Air Line, to this place resumed operations to-day. They will make three trips daily instead of two, as they did heretofore. The road is in the hands of a new force of men, and a success financially is predicted. Heavy Loss by Fire. Bpeclal to the Sentinel. Coixmevs, Ind., May 9. The upper story of F. Denner's large frame roller mill took fire from the smoke stack and was a mass of flames beore the firemen arrived. By hard work and good management the fire was confined to the upper part of the building, and the machinery, much of it, was saved in a damaged condition. A portion of the stock, consisting of 1,000 bushels of wheat,400 bushels of corn and 100 barrels of flour, was saved. The building was insured for $10,000 and the stock for $2,CC0, which will not cover the loss. The B. and O. Deal. Baltimore, May 9. George H. Staynor and Christopher Meyer, of New York, arrived here Saturday night, and about noon yesterday went to Robert Garrett's house, where they remained until night. What was done at the long conference could not be learned. Mr. dtaynor, when asked about it, only smiled, and Mr. Garrett, in his usual suave manner, declared that newspapers should know all in due time. Henry Villard waa here again a few days ago and had an mterviewwith Mr. Garrett. It is learned tbat the deal, so far aa the Richmond terminal is concerned, is completed, but there is a hitch in the negotiations with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and the Lake Erie and Western people. The recent visit of William B. Strong, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, to Mr. Garrett gives color to the report that the Atchison Road is in the deal. There will, of course, be changes in the Baltimore and Ohio directory, and several members will have to resign to make room for representatives from the other roads in the proposed syndicate. Horrible accident. Stow ew all, Col., May 9. Fanny Murray, aged fifteen, left home early 8aturday morning to visit her brother. At a point about half way from home she alighted from her horse to open a gate, and. in remounting the saddle tamed, frightening the broncho, who dragged the girl across the fields by her foot, which was fastened in the stirrup. Some two miles distant from the gate tbe horse and rider were found side by side, the girl dead, with nearly every vestige of clothing stripped from her, save . her Bhawl, which was wrapped tightly about her head and grasped firmly in her teeth. The broncho was nearly dead from exhaustion. Mr. Murray and family came here a few years since from Boston. The proceedings of the convention of Grand Lodge, No. 7, I. O. I'.nal Britb, at Memphis, yesterday, consisted of the appointment of committees and reading communications and reports, and tbe election of trustees. The convention adjourned at 2 p.m. until to day, with the view of giving the committees appointed to-day time to report.

STRIKES AND STRIKERS

Anthracite Coal Miners in ths Schuylkill Region Demand Increased Wages. Knights cf Lahor Refuse to Indorse the Strike in the Coal Regions. Six Hundred Men Thrown Out of Employment at a Pittsburg Furnace. Milwaukee Stove-Molders Locked Oat for Be fa sice to Work on Boycotted St. Loots Patterns. COAL OPERATORS AND MINERS. Both Parties Anxious for an Amicable Settlement. Reading, Fa., May 9. "There has been no decision by the anthracite coal miners to strike on the 10th inst.," said a Knight of Labor ofiicial yesterday, who has been traveling on business of the order through tbe Schuylkill rigion for two months past. "The men do not want to strike, but do want the 10 per cent, advance. They sent no notice to the companies of their intention to strike, but sent a formal petition for the increase by May 10. No ultimatum was promulgated, and whether the increase is granted or not, there Is no likelihood of a strike on Tuesday. No decision has been reached. Whatever the companies may do the Executive Board will first have to consider that the prices received for coal now and the condition of trade warrant an advance, but they have cot decided to strike." A coal region delegate expressed the opinion that a strike, if ordered, would not last two weeks. President Carl in himself said the company could not afford a strike and the miners believe be is as anxious to avert trouble as they are. Tbe strike, if it is ordered, will involve about 90,000 men, most of tbem with families to support. A New York evening paper says: In tbe Washington building, the home of the Coal Exchange, it was stated to-day that the anthracite miners in the Schuylkill region, who have petitioned for an advance of 10 per cent., would undoubtedly go on a strike if it was refused them. Tbe companies are to make reply to-morrow, or if they refuse to reply the men will go out at once. Tbere is ouite a general feeling in tbe New York trade that the men will be wholly, or at least partly, successful in their demands, as the season of the year is at hand when the miners can live idly at comparatively little expense, while the demand for coal continues as great as ever. There are many in the trade who believe that the companies must give in if the miners can hold out for a sufficient length of time, as nearly 10,000 men will be involved in the strike should one occur. The places of euch a number of men can not be filled. DISCUSSED THEIR GRIEVANCES. Convention of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Employes. Reading, Pa., May 9. The convention of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad employes, representing fifty Knights of Labor Assemblies between Philadelphia and the coal regions, adjourned after midnight last night. The most important matter discussed was the grievances of the miners and the relations existing between the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamated Association and the Knights of Labor. The meeting refused to give indorsement to the strike in the coal regions, proposed by the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamated Association, contending that there must be union of all bodies before a strike can be inaugurated, or, in other words, that the members of the Miners' and Laborers' Amalgamated Association must first join the Knights of Labor before they can receive the support of the latter body. This decision will, it is believed, result in a postponement of threatened strikes in the coal regions, as no other meeting of these assemblies will be held until August. MR. POWDERLY IN DENVER. He Will Assist the Local Assembly in Celebrating Its Third Anniversary. Denver, Col., May 9. Grand Master Workman Powderly arrived here from the East this morning. He was met at the depot Dy a delegatian of Knights and escorted to the hotel, and this afternoon was shown around tbe city. The occasion of Mr. Powderly's visit here is to assist the local assembly in celebrating their third anniversary. At 8 o'clock Mr. Powderly ascended the platform, accompanied by Governor Adams, Mayor Lee and others. The Governor delivered an eloquent address of welcome on behalf of the State. The Grand Master was then introduced, and, notwithstanding he was suffering from a severe cold, he spoke an hour and a half on "The Aims and Objects of the Order of Knights of Labor." About 4,000 people were present. He will remain here until Wednesday, then return East. Locked Oat Stove Molders. Milwaukee, Mav 9. The stove molders employed at the Butcher works, numbering two hundred, were locked out to-day because they refused to work on boycotted St. Louis patterns. They had been on a strike three weeks, but last Friday returned to work with the understanding that they were to make proscribed patterns. Similar action is expected to morrow at the Brand works. Strike of RolIlng-MUl Employes. Pittsbcrg, May 9. The Alraagamated men at A. M. Byers it Co.'s rolling-mill struck this morning because the firm refused to employ an extra helper at the furnace!, as provided for in the scale agreement. The mill has closed down and COO men are temporarily thrown out ot work. Uult Work. Cleveland, Ohio, May 9. Two hundred employes at the furnaces of the Brier Hill Coal and Iron Company, near Youngstown, Ohio, struck to-day because their demand for a semi-monthly pwy-day was refused. They are now paid on ce a month. Probable Strike of Miners. Shenandoah, Pa., May 9. The feeling here to-night regarding the proposed miner's strike is growing more uneasy, and the conviction that the strike will take place on Monday next is more deep seated than ever. Several of the assemblies of the Knights of Labor are in session tonight considering the question. On Wednesday the joint meeting of representatives of the Amalgamated Association and the Knights of Labor will be held at Pottsville, when a final decision ia the matter will be reached. Powderly Denounced. Chicago, May 9. The Daily News tomorrow will publish the text of a long circular said to have been sent out to

prominent Knights of Labor and secretaries of assemblies in California, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan and Missonri by local assembly, 8,133, of Portland, Ore, The circular denounces General Master Workman Powderly for hia rejoicings over the remit of the Chicago municipal election, and embodies resolutions passed by the assembly demanding that Mr. Powderly be deposed from office. The News will say that the Knights are on the eve of a great revolt, and the circular is the result of a concerted move, by which if the assembly is suspended a general withdrawal from the order will follow.

THE LAST TRIBUTES. A Wonderful Demonstration cf the Popular Love for a Good Mm. Mr. DePauw's Funeral Yesterday at New Albany Ten Thousand Spectators The Details in Fall. Bpeclal to the Sentinel. New Albany, Ind., May 9. The funeral of the late Hon. W. C. DePauw occurred this atternoon. It was a wonderful demonstration of the popular love for the enterprising, public-spirited end good man. The city was draped in the emblems of mourning, all business entirely suspended, the public schools in vacation and the courts all adjourned. There were tolling bells, flags at half-mast, and on all sides evidences of public mourning and personal grief. Over 3,000 working men appeared on foot, the city officials and Council, officers of tbe county and the courts, ministers of the Gospel from ail parts of the State and many from neighboring States, delegations of prominent business men, church officials from Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, St. Louis, Cincinnati and many of the cities and towns of Indiana in hacks, and hundreds of our own citizens in carriages were in line. A delegation from the faculty of DePauw University and two hundred students from tbat institution, together with Company E, DePauw Cadets, as a guard of honor, Masons and Odd Fellows, and delegations from temperance organizations, helped to swell the immense procession. All tbe streets along the line ot march were literally packed with people, tbe number being estimated at fully ten tbousand. Such an offering, so sincere and sympathetic was never before made to the memory of an Indianan; such a tribute was neer before paid to the pure christian character of a private citizen; euch acknowledgement was never before made in Indiana to a great and wise philanthropist and public benefactor. It was a wonderful display of public aflection for a man whose greatest ambition in life was to give the people employment, help the poor and advance the cause of religion and education. The religious services were held at the large suburban mansion of the deceased. Rev. H. J. Talbott, pastor of deceased at Centenary M. E. Church, opened the services with an eloquent emogv and a memoir. Professor John Poucher, of tbe theological college of DePauw University, followed with a grand address. Rev. Dr. Charles Hutchinson, of the Third Presbyterian Cnurch, spoke tenderly for the Presbyterians of the city and State. Rev. Alexander Martin, D. D., president of DePauw .University, spoke on Mr. DePauw's relation to the university and general educational interests. Biebop Bowman, of the M. E. Church, delivered the closing address, reaching the grandeur of eloquence. I Every one within tbe sound of the grand I nM man's tt: vo. wttj.,1 4.. spoke tenderly of the virtues, the strong religious faith, the zeal in good works and the charities so lavishly bestowed by Mr. DePauw during his life. He described him truly, not as a money-grabber and hoarder, but as a man of the vastest business comprehension and nerve, whose charities were up into the millions and were as freely given as the waters How from the hillsides. The floral offering? were many, and most of them came from the men who had so long been in the employ of deceased. There were widows' mites in this line sweet as incense in the fragrance of their humility, for they were small in size but aromatic with the heart's perfume. The long processfon reached the cemetery at 5:30 p. m., where the casket, incased in a large, solid mahogany case, gold and silver mounted, was placed in a vault, where it will remain under guard until the granite sarcophagus which is to contain it is completed on the beautiful lot of deceased. There already stands a $50,000 monument to mark the place of his last, long sleeping place. Fraudulent Insurance Companies. Minneapolis, Minn., My 9. The Evening Journal to-day prints the official report of E. B. Walker, examiner of insurance companies of this State, to Commissioner Shandrew. The report will, no doubt, create some uneasiness in certain quarters when it is read. The methods of business followed by several companies are severely criticised. Among such companies are the American Life, St. Paul, Mutual Benevolent Association, Union Endowment, St. Paul and Minnesota Mutual Benefit of Minneapolis. The examiner recommends that some of these concerns had better change their plans or wind up their affairs, as they are not able to pay the full amount of their policies, and would have to rssort to questionable methods of compromising with their policy-holders so as not to have to pay full amounts of policies. The Gaa Fever at Boston. New Yokk, May 9. There may be people who will doubt it people who will perpetrate the stale old joke about carrying coals to Newcastle but doubt or no doubt, jibe or no jibe, Boston is boring for natural gas. Something like an epidemic of natural gas has broken out all over the country. Boston's millionaire speculators caught the fever only a few weeks ago, but she has had a regiment of more or less scientific prospectors at work most industriously ever since. Large Bums of money have already been spent in preliminary work, and they are now about ready to put to a final test the theory that all the gas in Boston is not above ground. Harvard scientists and practical men from Pittsburg have all assured the capitalists that evidences are abundant in favor of finding gas in plenty. Mr. Parnella Very Sick Man. New York, Hay 9. A London special to the Evening Post says: "It Is no longer Eossibleto disregard the rumors which ave repeatedly gained currency lately concerning Mr. Parnell's health. His !rivate life, as every one knows, is passed n the most complete seclusion. The Irish members, even if they know, would not, of course, communicate to the outside world any unwelcome news about him. From another source, which I am compelled to regard as trustworthy, I learn that the health of the Irish leader Is not only bad, tut positively alarming. My informant went so far as to add that even his participation in the future political struggle is doubtful. X have reason to believe, but can not state positively, that his disease Is cancer la ;.e stomach,':

THE IRISH EDITOR.

Arrival of William O'Brien and Party Yesterday Evening at New York. He Is Met by a Beceptlon Committee, Who Tender Him an Address on Behalf of the Irish-Americans of That City. ARRIVAL OF WILLI AH O'BRIEN. The Distinguished Editor Presented n Address of Welcome. New York, May 9. The steamship Umbria, with Mr. William O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, and Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota, on board, was unable to cross the bar at high water this morning on account of the fog, and will now remain at anchor outside until 6 o'clock this evening. WThen this news was communicated to the reception committee, who went early to the Cunard pier to greet the distinguished passengers, they at once notified John IT. Starin to procure a steamboat for them, that they might go down the bay to accord the welcome. After considerable trouble the committee succeeded in securing the sidewheel steam tug-boat John E. Morse and at 2:10 p. m. started down the bay. Among those present were General O'Brien, Assistant District Attorney Fitzgerald, Judge W. W. Dougherty, of the Boston committee; Bran G. McSweeny, T. M. Brady, ? resident of the Municipal Council of the rish National League; J. M. Wall and Patrick Gleason. The following address was presented to the distinguished Irishman: "Dear Sir On behalf of the IrishAmerican people of our great city, we welcome you heartily and cordially to New York. You are no stranger in a strange land, for beyond the brief period of jcur former stay in this country, you have found lodgment in our hearts, and we welcome you again and again. We honor you for the years cf service which have made your name a household word. Wherever the exiled children of our race are, there is the name of William O'Brien revered and respected. When five years ago you went down to Malloy, your native town, to stand as the Nationalist candidate, your success caused dismay to Ireland's enemies, and gave a death blow to the rotten borrough syBtem so well adapted to the needy place men who are ever ready to placate power and worship the golden calf. It is not necessary to follow the record of vour parliamentary career. In the light of the splendid service of the Irish party no better eulogium is rt quired than to say you performed your whole duty, disregarding every consideration of health and looking to Ireland's welfare alone. Bat, perhaps the highest claim you have on cur affections is your position as edttor of the United Lreland. In the darkest hours of almost hopeless despair the clarion voice of Ireland's greatest journal rang out in thunder tones the sentiments that made enemies of the people writh beneath the lash of one who never knew fear. The jury-packer paused in his foul work; partisan judges and every tool of tyranny cowered under the exposure that brought their infamy to light. Oppression and a free press can not coexist, and the fiat went forth that United Ireland rrnst be suppressed and its editor imprisoned. In vain doth the heathen rsge, and so with renewed vigor you carried on the warfare and tore the mask from, the unspeakable orgies of the castle. So when, in God's providence, Ireland shall gain the inestimable boon of self-government, a grateful people will not forget your services in ridding them of a cancerous plague that had cursed Dublin for Tears. "And, now sir, in conclusion, we trust the mission you are engaged in will be eminently successful. In it you have our hearty support, and we wish you God speed in your endeavor to save the people of Ireland from the sentences of death to which alien landlordism would gladly consign them. Thanks to the National League, the indominable spirit of our people in Ireland and to the moral and national aid they obtained here and elsewhere, the battle is progressing gloriously and the omens of certain victory in the coming time are clear to every discerning mind. We much mistake our brethren in Canada if you do not receive from them a generous Irish welcome. Already the echo of the sympathies of representative Canadians through their Parliament has been heard, and they have spoken with no uncertain words. This warrants us in expecting a renewal of the cordial and sincere expressions of moral support and such evident acts as will give an earnest expression of their friendly feeling to the cause you represent. This we do know: You have the kindest wishes of the Irish-Americans of New York, and we trust you will ever retain pleasant memories of- them. You can assure Mr. Parncll and his colleagues of our fullest confidence in them and our determination to continue the struggle until the end shall crown the work in the restoration to Ireland of self-government and the freedom which we Americans justly regard as our dearest and most sacred possession." THIRTY-FIVE BODIES FOUND. Additional Particulars of the Disaster at Nanalmo, B. C. Nan aimo, B. C, May 9 Thirty-five bodies were found to-day. Up to noon sixteen white men had been brought to the surface. More bodies are coming up. A shovel was found on which was written with chalk: "Thirteen hours and now dying in misery. John Evans." This was a young fellow twenty-two years of age. Thus the men were evidently conscious thirteen hours after the explosion, and some may have survived five or six hours longer. They were all found in No. 1 level. They had come as far as the half-way switch and found a cave-in and the air bad. They then set to work with picks and shovels and barricaded a passage to chut out the after-damp. They returned to the fire-shaft, where the fire-damp bad caught tbem and all succumbed. They had tried to barricade this passage also, but did not succeed very well. The poor fellows bad made a desperate struggle for life. The fire is now nearly under control and it is hoped that all the bodies will be recovered within the next few days. In Favor of a Commercial Union. Ottawa, OnL", May 9. There Is considerable talk among members of the House of Commons on the question of commercial union with the United States, and this feeling is largely due to the manifest disposition of the American people toward some scheme of simple reciprocity. In the course of a few days the matter will be brought before the Dominion Parliament, as a substantive resolution, and a division will be asked for. The entire Liberal party, with a solid phalanx from the maritime provinces and Manitoba, are in favor of the measure, and it may be calculated upon to

a certainty that, within a week. Sir John MacDonald and his followers, who stand by party rather than principle, will be driven to cover with their national policy pet scheme. Next Thursday's Parade Washington, May 9. General Balrd, chief marshal of the parade at the unveiling of the Garfield statue, on Thursday next, issued a general order to-day assigning to places the organizations which are to participate. Among them are the Grand Army of the Republic, a battalion of the Ihird United States Artillery, a battalion of United States Marines, a detachment of sailors from the United States steamer Galena, the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, the District militia, consisting of about a dozen companies, and various civic societies. The "procession will form in two divisions at 11:30 a. m., near the intersection of H and Sixteenth streets, and will march on H to Eighteenth street, then to Pennsylvania' avenue, and down that avenue to the Garfield statue at the foot of Capitol HilL It is expected that the President and Mrs. Cleveland will be present to witness the unveiling ceremonies. A Poor Marksman. Coktdon, May G. At English, Ind., on the Air Line Railroad, James Laswell got off a freight train with a revolver in his hand, and opened fire upon Charles B. Crecelius, who was standing on the platform at the depot. Crecelius ran and Laswell followed him, and the whole town came out to see the proceedings. Crecelius crossed and recrossed a swollen creek three time in his flight from Laswell, and the latter gentleman kept in hot pursuit, firing his pistol at Crecelius until the chambers were all empty. Laswell, however, was in an excited condition and could not shoot with certainty. Crecelius took to the woods and made his escape. It will be remembered that Crecelius eloped with Lasweli's daughter some time ago, and that he was arrested, and that both parties returned home. It is said that be has lately been seeking an interview with tbe young lady and that this is the cause of the trouble. Lexington Races. Lexington, Ky., May 9. Thia was the last cay of the spring meeting of the Kentucky races, the attendance being very laree. First Race Selling; purse, $350; for three-year-olds and upward ; one and threesixteenths miles.

Fourth Race Handicap purse, $100, for allsges; one and one-quarter miles. Monocrat won ; Long Slipper second, Wanderoo third. m The State's Motion Overruled. Chicago, May 9. This afternoon Judge Shepard rendered his decision in the motion made by State's Attorney Grinnell to auash the venire of jurors called in the "boodle" cases. The court held that it was cot the intention of the legislators who enacted the statute tbat it should be strictly complied with. Reasonable compliance was all that was necessary, and it seemed that such compliance had been made in this case. It would be next to impossible to go over the jury list every time there was an election, and that would be th6 only way in which it would be strictly determined just what proportion of jurors were legal voters.

People are coming to town on foot, on horseback and in vehicles of every conceivable shape to see tbe wonder of wonders in the shape of a gas find, which was reached here yesterday at a depth of 928 feet. Business, owing to the deafening noise. made;by the immense volume of gas escaping, is practically suspended. Visitors claim to hear it for a distance of five miles. The company is insisting that the contractor go ten feet lower into the Trenton rock, which they have barely reached. This accomplished we certainly can boast fearlessly, upon a scientific test, to have the most gigantic gas well in the State. n Editor Arrested. Pittsburg, May 9. Walter W.

Proceedings of Yesterday's Session In Lonlsvllle. LonsviLLE, May 9. The Southern Baptist Convention was called to order by President Meli at 9 o'clock this morning for tbe third day's work. It was announced that the collection taken up at the mass meeting Saturday night for the benefit of foreign missions amounted ta $2.415.8i. The order of business was reported, giving the afternoon session to continuation of home mission reports and the evening session, opening at 8 p. m., to a general home mission meeting to be led by Rev. Mr. Diaz. A motion limiting speeches ta ten minutes was adopted. The report of the Committee on Suggestions to the Board of Foreign Missions waa read by Dr. W. C. Cleveland, of Alabama. It was prepared by Dr. John A. Broadus. Dr. Broadus was indisposed, and unable ta read the report himself. It pointed out that the missions were much in need o money, and missionaries in some casea must be sent home, but it would . cost as -much to bring tbem home as to support them till the stringency for money was passed. It suggested means to raise the needed money. In discussing the report. Dr. Rowland, of Maryland, called attention to the comparatively small amount given by Southern Baptists 8 cents per capita per anncm. He urged that more foreign mission tracts should be printed. Dr. E- E. Folk, of Tennessee, said the people should give to the church the money given to Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. The work of the church is better, and Baptists should give their money to the church work exclusively while there was need. The report, as read by Dr. Cleveland, was adopted. Dr. Wharton, of Maryland, presented the report cf the Committee on Kind Words publication. It reported the removal of the office from Macon, Ga., to Atlanta. Ga. ; 1 he publication at a profit to the Home Mission Beard of the series of Lesson Leaves and an entirely successful system of San-day-school publications, and the need ot continued and earnest effort to make the publications more useful and successful by putting them in all Sunday-schools of tha Baptist Church. Adopted. Dr. Frost, chairman of the committee on the general work of the Home Mission Board, reported that there had been increased support from all the States represented in the convention. There was a good work doing under the board among the negroes and Indians, and within the year a wonderfully successfully work had been begun in Cuba. For all there waa need of more money and more work. Dr. Holt, of Texas, secretary of the Home Mission Board, said that the board has always greatly aided that State, but yetthere are eighty-seven counties where tney have neither preachers nor churches. The Baptists number 100,000 and fO.OOO colored communicants. The recent drought had a fleeted many portions of the State, but the frontier work needed assistance and must have it. There are 200,000 Germans in Texas and no missionaries among them, when tbere should be at least ten. Dr. Penicke, of Louisiana, spoke of hia State as a missionary field. He said: "There are now about 20,000 Baptists in Louisiana, with thirteen missionaries at werk, who were heart and soul engaged in christianizing the people. There are 250,C00 French speaking people, all children, in tbe State, while among them are daily working two Baptist missionaries. These people are growing tired of the yoke of Catholicism, and stand ready to throw off the demands of the priesthood. Marty of them have already become christians, and others of this Creole population will follow should opportunity be given them." Rev. J. S. Monroe, Indian missionary,' referred to the work In the Indian Territory, the weakest mission connected with this association. "There are," he said, "247,701 Indians in the United States, not including Alaska. Of these 75,000 are civilized, 141,310 wear citizen's dress, 33,801 read the English language and there are 50,000 children of school age. The Territory comprises an area of 613,222 square miles, and has 79.791 Indians and forty-sir tribes. Tbere are three missionaries and 7,000 Baptists. But we need more workers and more help. We call upon this board earnestly to come to our aid." The fraternal delegates from the Northern Church next addressed the convention briefly. They were Hon. Horatio Jones, of Pennsylvania, and Rev. Dr. Hanson, of Chicago. The latter made a very humorous speech, keeping, the audience in a continual roar of laughter. The convention then adjourned until the evening session.

The First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., was chosen, and the second Wednesday in May. 1SS8, nauied. Rev. Dr. F. M. Ellis, of Baltimore, will preach the Bermon, with Rev. Wm. S. Harris, alternate. General Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky, from tbe Committee on Temperance, reported the following resolution : "Resolved, That we do solemnly protest against the manufacture, sale and use of. ardent spirits, and express our sympathy with Prohibitionists everywhere." The debate on this produced about the liveliest cross-firing yet witnessed during the convention. General Smith said he held in his hand the Heathen-helper Directory of the Biptist convention, containing the advertisement of a whisty dealer, and he asked if that was to help the heathen. Some one answered "no, the whiskydealer," which produced considerable laughter. General Smith continued declaring that the prohibition shower was coming, and those who were opposed to it must get out of the way. The phrase In the part of the report preceeding the resolution, "whieky as a beverage," provoked a long discussion. The hour set apart forolher, business was Intruded upon, and the report had to be dropped. It will come up again in the morning! when a breezy time is expected. The remaining hours of the night session were consumed bv Rev. Alberto J. Diaz, ot Havana, Cuba. He gave the, status of tha mission in Cuba, and its needs. Over $4,003 were raised spontaneously before the contention adjourned until the morning.
