Wayland Seminary and the Educa- tional Boards—Removal of Pu cation House—Cause in Virginia. ‘The Tarrytown The Washington delegates to the Ameri- can national Baptist convention, to the number of twenty-five, including sbout fif- teen of the pastors of the local colored Baptist churches, returned home from Bos- ton last evening. The delegates left this city last Tuesday week, accompanied by a lerge party from Richmond and other pcints south, and, arriving, as they did, a spent; hours in looking over Boston and comparing it with: the capital city. The principal feature in which, to the mind of the local delegates, Washington excels Bos- ton, is in the number of strong and ficurishing colored-churches. Rev. Dr.Wal- ter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, has- attended nearly ali_the conventions. of his denomination, and he states that this city, with fifty churches of colored Baptists, is ahead of any other city, and, even comparing the relative sizes of the colored population, is ahead of Richmond. Dr. Brooks’ Report. Dr. Brooks, in speaking last night of the convention, said: “The welcoming session of the convention was held in Faneuil Hall, Rev. W. A. Adams, chairmen of the local committee, presiding; and at this session addresses were delivered by Governor Wolcett, May- or Quincy, by Rev. George C. Lorimer, pastor of Tremont Temple, the largest Baptist Church in the United States, on behalf of the white Baptists, and by Rev. Mr. Roberts on behalf of the various col- ored denominations. he introductory sermon was delivered by the Rev. W. F. Graham of Richmond, Va., well known in Washington; and the annval missionary sermon by the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Bap- tist Church of this city. The latter, Dr. Johnson, was ene of the prominent ‘dele gates at this convention, and particularly impressed the peoyle of Boston by the fine address he delivered at the patriotic ex- ertises on Boston Common, near the new statue of Gereral Shaw, the famous Mas- sachusetts commander in the civil war. The Sunday of the convention the visiting min- isterial delegates preached at the various churches. I filled the pulpit of the First Baptist Church, the oldest and strongest cclored congregation in New England. Rev. George W. Lee, D.D., pastor of the Ver- mont Avenue Church, preached at the same church in the evening. Our annual rally was held at Tremont Temple, and though nearly 4,000 people Managed to find entrance, many were turned away. At this gathering interest- ing remarks were made by one of our re- turned African missionaries, and also by several native Africans. The, farewell meeting in the same place, and attended by the same Jarge audience, was addressed by Dr. Lee and myself and aiso by Lieuten- ant Wagner, the colored veteran of Fort Wagner fame. The Official Board. “Nearly ail the general cfficers of the convention were re-elected, and Rev. W. Bishop Johnsen; D.D., of this city, was chosen chairman of the education board. “Wayland, Seminary was not mentioned in any cf the public discussicns, but the educational debate was somewhat along the line of the principle involved in the re- moval of Weyland to Richmend. We have now about thirteen educational institu- tions maintained by ourselves in various parts of the country, and the question was whether we should bend our energies te supportirg these institutions or aid the American Baptist Home Missionary So- ciety (white) in their efforts to educate our race. After a long discussion it was decided that the i: dividual churches should do as they like, but that no church should antagonize any of the efforts of the whites. Publication House Showing. “Several propositions were made before and during the convention as to the removal of the publication house from Nashville, Tenn., but the report of the manager of that institution, showing that while the house was established only last January, it had prid all running expenses and had a balance in the treasury, effectuaily dis- posing of all efforts to have it removed. Indeed, the publication house was strong]. indorsed, and all the churches were urged to purchase their literature from it. “Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, managing edi- tor of the National Baptist Magazine, pub- lished in this city, made a report of the work accomplished by him, and from this report and the discussion which followed it has been practically decided that the maga- zine will continue to have its headquarters in Washington. However, it is very likely that the plant here will be sent to the Nashville publication house, and the work in this city done in the future by con- tra Dr. Johnson is to continue his con- nection with the magazine. A Serious Question. “One of the most serious questions we had to deal with was the missionary ques- tion. We have about eight missionaries in Africa, besides several churches and schools, but as the Baptists of Virginia, who have over $3,000 in their treasury, Flower Stands—Morsell’s, 1105 7th nw.

The remains were taken to his late-home, No. 74v 3d street northeast, to await interment. Resolutions Adopted at the Closing Session Yexterfay. ‘The executive council of the American Federation of Labor, which had been in seesion here since Mcnday last, completed its business yesterday afternoon, and ad- journed to meet again at the call of Presi- dent Gompers. During.the final meeting resolutions in reference to the shooting of the striking miners in Pennsylvania were adopted, set- ting forth that ‘‘we declare the attack of Sheriff Martin ard his deputies at Lattimer on the marching miners then on strike wis a brutal, unprovoked massacre, inspired by the coal operators of that section to defeat the demands of the men for better condi- tiens, and the ever-ready use in late years of court injunctions, armed force and the state militia, in times of labor troubles, is enly part of the insidious program to en- tirely subjugate the workers of America fur the most debasing degradation. “We condemn most severely the wanton killing and wounding of the poor miners at Lattimer, and will give our fulles® help, through the trade unions and the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, to raise money for the legel prosecution and conviction of fheriff Martin and is murderous minions, that, through the courts of our land, even- handed justice may be done to atone for these revolting murders.” ~ Frank J. Weber, one of the Federation’: general organizers, was directed to proceed immediately to the Luzerte district in Pernsylvania, for the purposs of helping in more thoroughly organizing the miners, and to endeavor to effect an adjustment of the raincrs’ strike in that region. yi It was determined that measures in the interest of labor should be formulated and Presented to President McKinley, with the view of his incorporating them in his next message to A resolution was Large Sale of Furniture and Carpets at Sloan’s, 1407 G st., tomorrow at 10 a.m. There will be sold a large quantity of fur- riture, carpets, &c.; also large sofa for the U.

THE EVENING STAR; FRIDAY, ‘SEPTEMBER 24, 1897-14 PAG DOCKING HORSES. A CLEAR CASE. Politictan Who Divided Honors With the Te Deum. “Talk about conceit,” said a hotel Icun- ger to a Star reporier. “The worst case of it I ever knew happened to a man in my town.” “Tell me abcut it,”” said The Star man. “Well, you see, this man had been a goo@ church member ever since he was a boy, but he got into politics, served as mem>er of legislature, judge, mayor of the town and in half a dezen other positions, and for ten years he never darkened the door of the church. “One Sunday night he heard there was going to be some fine singing by the choir, so he ordered his carriage and drove to church. Hé was a little late, and just as he started up the aisle the congregation arose to sing the ‘Te Deum.’ Well, sir, the politictan thought they were getting ap out of respect to him, and he just held nis head as high as a peacock’s, and, waving his hand, said: ‘Sit down, ladies and gen- tlemen; I’m gratified, but, then, I'm no bet- ter than any of you. Piease resume your seats,’ “Now, if that wasn’t conceft, I don’t know what it is; but you can’t blame him after all; politicians are built that way.” ee CAUSES A SURPRISE.

Waring Com. mended by Humane Society. ‘A New York paper not long ago published a statement that Col.’ Waring, in charge of the street cleaning department of that city, had caused all of the horses employed in the. work to be docked. The commissioner immediately came out with an emphatit. denial of the charge, and said that he had never caused nor permitted a horse’s tail to be docked. He stated tliat he had more than nine hundred horses’ in the depart- ment, and that he did not even allow a check rein to be used. Col. Waring further stated that he was about to discard the use of blinders. The Humane Society of this city, upon hearing of the colonel’s firm stand in favor of the horses, sent him the following letter ‘This society has noticed in the news- papers your reply to certain critics who charged that you caused the tails of horses in the street cleaning department to be docked, and wishes to assure you of the TR.

A total appropriation of $47,000 is asked, which ‘Is an increase of $21,000 over the current appropriation. The details of the estimates are as follows: ‘For engineering maintenance and general repairs, $21,000. 2 < For repairing’ the» north connection by the’by-conduit, Dalecarlia Reservoir, $3,000.

Concerning the item: of $3,000 for repair- ing the by-conduit, the following explena- tion is given: “The by-conduit around the Dalecarlia reservoir has been in bad condition for sev- eral years, and Is considered too dangerous to permit men to enter it for the purpose of cleaning it.
