The labor arbitration measure, providing for the arbitration of labor disputes be- tween employes and certain common car- riers, a bill which had received very wide irdorsement by labor organizations throughout the country, was passed by the House of Representatives yesterday. It provides that in case of a serious con- treversy concerning wages, hours of labor, or conditions of employment shall arise between a carrier subject to the act and the employes, the chairman of the inter- state commerce commission and the com- missioner of labor shall upon the request of either party endeavor to amicably settle the dispute by mediation, and in case the endeavors shall fail, then the controversy may be submitted to arbitration of a board of three persons, each party. to the contro- versy to name one arbitrator and the two thus named shall name a third; agreement to submit must contain stipulations that the arbitration shall be begun within five days and the award shall be filed within twenty days from the appointment of the third arbitrator; that the award shall be filed in the circuit court of the United States for any district wherein the em- ployer carries on business; that the parties shall consider the award final and con- clusive and faithfully execute the same; that the award shall continue in force as between the parties for one year and that the employer shall not dismiss nor shall any employe, dissatisfied with the award, quit work under three months without giv- ing thirty days’ notice. The award shall become final and operative ten days after filing unless an appeal shall be taken with- in the ten days on exceptions to matter of law. The act recognizes organized labor and provides penalties for employers dis- criminating against employes by reason of their connection with or purpose to join such organization. ‘The House adjourned until Monday. ——_—_—_-e. FOUR DAILY MAIL DELIVERIES. Restriction Inserted in the Post Office Bill. The most important action taken upon the post office appropriation bill by the Senate yesterday was the adoption of an amendment offered by Mr. Tillman (S. C.) reducing the number of deliveries of mail in all cities of the country to a number not exceeding four each day. The amend- ment was sharply antagonized as a blow to business interests in the large cities, but the feeling of the Seaate was such that, despite the vigorous opposition, it prevailed by a decisive majority. ‘A lively debate was precipitated by an amendment of the committee striking out the appropriation of $300,000 for rural free delivery. By the close vote of 25 to 22, however, the committee was sustained, and the bill now carries no appropriation for such delivery. 3 Just before adjournment the Senate pass- ed an important war measure authorizing the President and general officers of the army to supply the Cuban insurgents with arms and munitions of war and empower- ing officers \pf the army serving in Cuba to supply the needy inhabitants of the island with medicines and subsistence. Mr. Hansbrough presented the report of the conferees upon the Alaska homestead bill, and it was agreed to. The bill now gues to the President. —_—__e+____ Queen Regent Ready to Flee. , The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph says: “Apartments have been reserved at a hotel here for the Queen Regent of Spain in case she arrived before apartments have been prepared for her in her brother's pal- ace. “Telegrams from the Austrian ambassa- dor at Madrid, Count Dubsky, indicate that the queen it is only waiting for @ suitable moment to quit Spain without detriment to the interests of her son.” ——_+e2_____ Ex-Queen Isabella in Mouraing.

Seven Hundred Delegates im Atte: ance—Probable Discussion of Dr. Whitsit’s Position on Baptism. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NORFOLK, Va, May 6—The proceed- ings of the annual convention of the South- ern Baptist Church, which has just con- vened at the Free Mason Street Baptist Church, this city, Rev. Dr. M. B. Wharton, pastor, promises to be more interesting than those of any convention which hes preceded it. The body is composed of representative men from every part of the Union south of Maryland, including that state and the District of Columbia, and also from some of the southwestern states. Among the delegates from Washington churches are Rev. Dr. B. L, Whitman, president of the Columbian University; Rev. Dr. C. A. Stakely, pastor of the First Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir, Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene, Mr. 8. M. Yeatman and others. Other delegates are Chief Justice Jonathan Haralson of Alabama, for many years president of the convention: former Gov. W. J. Northen of Georgia; Joshua Lever- ing of Maryland, at one time candidate for the vice presidency of the United States on the prohibition ticket; Rev. Dr. J. L. Bur- rows of Augusta, Ga., and Rev. Dr. O. F. Gregory of Baltimore. There are altogether 700 members, many of whom are equally as prominent in their respective states as those named. While the convention is more of an ad- visory than a legislative body, its sugges- tions carry great weight with the member- ship generally, and its wishes are univer- sally respected and acceded to. Dr. Whitsitts Views an Issue. There are under the care of the conven- tion a nunber of educational institutions. principal among which is the Southern Baptist Seminary at Loufsville, Ky., and its affairs are expected in some quarters to occupy a considerable share of atten- tion. This presumed action grows out of the conduct of Dr. Whitsitt, president of the institution, who some time ago pub- lished a series cf articles and also a book on the subject of baptism, which were in- terpreted to mean that he did not agree with most of the Baptist authorities on this cardinal principle of the denomina- tion. Repeated efforts have been made at one or two annual conventions to remove Dr. Whitsitt from his position, but thus far the attempts have failed. It is stated that the matter will again be brought for- ward during the present convention, and if this should prove true, there will be one of the most spirited debates in the annals of American church history. The Whitsitt controversy, as it is termed, and as it now stands, is stated by a friend of Dr. Whitsitt to be as follows: “Twenty years ago Dr. Whitsitt wrote a chapter on the Baptists of England for Johnson's encyclopedia. Five years later he wrote for a religious paper four ar- ticles reiterating substantially the views expressed in the encyclopedia. “The assertion in Dr. Whitsitt’s articles which gave offense to what is known as the ‘Landmark’ wing of the Southern Bap- tists was that the people now called Bap- tists did not bear that name until after 1641, and that for the period embracing 100 years the people known as Anabaptists in England did not practice immersion as baptism. These Anabaptists were in many respects like the Baptists of the present day, Dr. Whitsitt said. Anabaptist Faith. “*They rejected infant baptism,’ ‘they be- lieved in a converted church membership, and they repudiated every phase of sacra- mentalism, and had a democratic form of church government; but owing to the se- vere persecutions to which they were sub- ject, and to other causes, they practiced sprinkling and pouring in place of immer- sion.’ That is, substantially, Dr. Whitsitt’s position, and it ts that which has given of- fense to the ‘Landmark’ Baptists of the south. “The great majority of the intelligent men of the denomination believe that Dr. Whitsitt’s position in reference to the prac- tice of the Anabaptists, during the period referred to, is correct, and in this position he is sustained by almost every historian of any repute. “Dr. Whitsitt’s friends agree with him that the admission of the fact that the Anabaptists in England did practice sprink- ling for a while does not affect the question as to whether immersion is the true form of baptism. Dr. Whitsitt says that immer- sion began with John the Baptist, and was taught and practiced by Jesus Christ and His apostles, and has continued to the pres- ent day with many perversions. “He believes that immersion is absolutely necessary to baptism, and in this he is sus- tained by all Baptists. Dr. Whitsitt be- longs to that element of the Baptist denom- ination who do not base the validity of im- mersion upon church succession, but en- tirely upon the teaching of the sacred Scriptures. Their motto has ever been “The Bible and the Bible alone, a sufficient rule of faith and practice.” Not a Test of Orthodoxy. “Dr. Whitsitt and his friends contend that no historical question should be made a test of Baptist orthodoxy and fellowship. His opponents do make it a test, and vir- tually declare that any man who believes that the Anabaptists of England did prac- tice sprinkling during a period of 100 years is a heretic and unworthy of a place in the Baptist denomination. z “There is no man in the denomination whose character has been more unsullied and exemplary than that of Dr. Whitsitt. He is regarded as one of the most guileless and sainuy men of this generation, and it is believed that if the question of his ortho- doxy is brought up in the convention he will be sustained.” ‘The convention will remain in session un- til some day next week. The Auxiliary Bodies. Meetings of several of the auxiliaries of the convention were held at various churches yesterday. A conference of work- ers under the auspices of the Young Peo- ple’s Baptist Union took place at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. C. 8. Blackwell of Birmingham. Ala., corresponding secre- tary of the organization, made a report, ‘n which he stated that during the last eight months there had been a great increase of interest in the educational work, and that the union has about 1,200 branches, with a membership of 60,000. Addresses were made by Rev. Drs. E. E. Chierns of Chi- cago, J. L. M. Curry of Washington, George E. Truett of Dallas, Tex., Carter Helm Jones of Louisville, Ky., and A. J. Diax of the City of Mexico. The American Baptist Educational So- ciety convened in annual session at the Park Avenue Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Morehouse of New York, corresponding sec- retary, stated that during the past year he had expended $16,000 among nine colleges in various parts of the Union. There were addresses by a number of leading divines. The tenth anniversary meeting of the Wome.’s Missionary Union, which takes place tucsy, was arranged for at a confer- ence last evening of the executive commit- tee. Sessions were also held of the Amer- ican Baptist Historical Society and the trustees of the Southern Baptist Seminary at Louisville were in conference. The pro- ceedings were conducted in secret, but it is understood that the question of the status of Rev. Dr. Whitsitt, referred to tn the foregoing, was the principal topic of discussion. —_>—_—_.
