ANSWERS CALL OOFTHE WILD ‘ AT |Negro Missionary to Africa Returns to Heathenism as Chief of His Old Tribe — , HUNTINGTON, Ind., March 9.—The | executive committee of the missionary board of the United Brethren in Christ | has dropped from the rolls of the| church Daniel Flickinger Wilberforce, | a mative African, who was. brought to | this country as a child and, after being | educated, was returned by the board to | his old tribe as a missionary. It is charged by the beard that after a ser- | | vice of twenty-five years as a mission- ary the negro minister had been lured back to heathenism, has become chief of his old tribe of devil worshipers and has contracted plural marriages in | the wilds of Africa. Nearly fifty year ago Dr. Daniel { | Kumler Flickinger, then secretary of | the missionary board of the chugch, was in West Africa on mission work. | Whi siting a Congregational mis- | sion announcement was made that a | male child had been born in the negro | village. The host of Flickinger chris- | tened the baby Daniel Flickinger Wil- berforce. Twelve ye later the boy | | was brought to America by a returning | missionary and Dr. Flickinger acciden- | tally discovered him at work at the| missionary house in New York. He| took the lad to Dayton, Ohio, and he! | was sent to school, then through high | school and later to a medical college at| | Cleveland. . | He married a negress at Dayton and the two went to Africa to do mission- | ary work among the old tribe from i which Wilberforce came. Later the family returned to this country and Wilberforce lectured throughout the |47emra| States. His four children, two | sons and two daughters, attended Cen- | tral College here. The two sons are| still in this country, one at Otterbern | | College and the other in the Dayton | { High School. ‘Wilberforce returned to Africa and the board has been informed of his re- | turn to heathenism and its accompany- | ing plural marriages, together with his becoming chief of his tribe. The ven- ! erable Dr. Flickinger is much depressed | over the backsliding of his protege, but | sanctiors the action of the board. | ————— STEAMSHIP CASCADE PULLED OFF THE ROCKS Though Badly Damaged, Is Towed to the Harbor of San Pedro.

The infection recently spread to Bur- | mah, where it is making rapid strides. This season of the year always favors its spread. The Indian Government is by burning whole sections of towns and segregating the inhabitants. Owing to the climate and the sanitary condition ' of the outlying districts and native sec- | tions of the towns, it is difficult to cope | with the epidemic, which breaks out | continually at fresh points. The deaths are said to be ninety per ! cent of those infected. As a result of | the plague the labor supply for manufacturing centers has depreciated. So long has the plague existed that the native population in India regards it callously. ROSEBERY NOT IN FAVOR OF IRISH HOME RULE the Says No Statesman: Would Expooe‘ Country to the Curse of a Dual Government. LONDON, March 9.—The question of home rule for Ireland was the prin- | cipal feature of the speech of Lord Rosebery before the City of London Liberal Club to-night. Rosebery said that while the Liberal party sympa- thized with Ireland and was willing to proceed along the lines of reform, | there was one thing to which no wise statesman ever would expose the country, namely, the curse of a dual Government. “We have sufficient warnings,” said he, “in the example of Norway and | Sweden and Austria and Hungary to avoid the peril of having the vulture gnawing at our very vitals.” ———————— NAVY.

Belief in Washington That the Neces- sary Two-Thirds Msjority Can- not Be Oblained. Epeciai Dispatch to The: Call, | CALL BUREAU POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 9.—There is a strong probability that the Senate will refuse to ratify the Santo Domingo treatv. even in the greatly changed form in which it was reported to-day by the Comimittee on Foreign Relations. So close is the contest that one or two votes one way or the other would effect the result. Several Senators friendly to the treaty to-night regard its de- |feat as a foregome conclusion. The treaty was reported to-day by a strictly party vote in committee. The ! Democrats are rapidly aligning them- selves solidly against it and if the | admiuistration cannot get at least three i votes from the minority it will be de- ! feated. All members of the committee were present to-day and the vote stood: For the treaty—Cullom, Frye, Lodge, Clarke (Wyoming), Foraker, Spooner iand Kean. ‘Against the treaty—Morgan, Bacon, Moncy, Clark (Montana) and Mec- Creary. | The division of the Senate ommittee on party lines caused considerable gos- sip among Senators as to whether that division would be followed in the Sen- ate when the treaty was voted upon. As the Senate stands now there are fifty-six Republicans and thirty-one i Democrats, with vacancies in Dela- ware, Missouri and Tennessee. It is | expected also that twu Republican Senators, Burton and Mitchell, will not | vote and will not be paired on this or any other matter coming before the Senate. As a two-thirds vote is neces- sary to ratify the treaty, it will re- quire fifty-eight votes to accomplish this end. The Republican leaders in the Senate still lack assurance of the full sup- port of their party. The Republican Senators who do not give their com- plete assent base their opposition to the treaty largely upon the ground that it may prove a precedent in the future. They concede that the conditions in Santo Domingo are peculiarly exas- perating and agree that some relief ap- pears necessary, but they say that the step now contemplated may be used in the future as justification for a similar move in a case in which the demand is | not so pressing. ——e—————— California Postal Changes.

Close of an Eventful Life —_—— ‘WASHINGTON, March 9.—United States Senator Willlam Bromage Bate of Tennessee, twice Governor of his| State, a veteran of both the Mexican | and Civil wars, rising from private to major general in the Confederate army in the latter, and for eighteen years a conspicuous member of the upper House of Congress, died at his hotel apartments in this city to—dly.| He was 78 vears old. Death was due to pneumonia and heart trouble. Senator Bate attended the inaugura- tion ceremonies on March 4, and his death is believed to be due primarily to exposure on that occasion. He suf- fered a slight chill on that day. He, however, continued his official duties and occupfed his seat in the Senate last Tuesday. He became suddenly ill iat the dinner table that evening and immediately called for a physician. He was put to bed and his condition was recognized as serious. Despite the efforts of his physician . he became steadily worse and all hope ! for his recovery was given up yester- | day. Senator Bate was entirely con- | scious until his death and, realizing | that the end was near, asked that he| Besides the widow, two daughters, and Mrs. Childs of Los Angeles, sur- vive the Senator. A brother, Captain Bate of Tennessee, and a sister, Mrs. Harris, of California were sent for, i but were unable to reach here before bis death, Senator Bate’s remains will be taken to his old home at Nashville and will be interred in the Mount Olivet Cem- etery there. While in the Senate on Monday Sen- ator Bate talked with some of his Dem- ocratic colleagues concerning his plans for the next session of Congress, which related almost exclusively to the ques- tion of statehood for the Territories. He adhered to his theory that there should be another determined effort to secure four new States, and announced his determination not to yield to the consolidation of Arizona and New Mex- ico under the circumstances. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 9.—The Tennessee Legislature will elect a suc- cessor to the late Senator Bate on March 21, probably Governor Benton McMillin. The Governor, who was General Bate's most active opponent during the last campaign, withdrew in favor of Senator Bate, with the un- derstanding that should Senator Bate retire he would become the candidate. T e i FAIR BUILDING MAY BE MOVED TO WASHINGTON Plan to Use Federal Structure Now at St. Louls for Inaugural Balls. WASHINGTON, March 9.—By the removal of the Government building at the St. Louis Fair to Washington the capital city may have a great conven- tion hall and a permanent home for the inaugural balls. The members of the committee ap- pointed by the inaugural committee of the Washington Board of Trade and the Business Men's Assoclation to con- sicer the question of erecting in Wash- poon. Commissioner West submitted | sketehes of the steel work of the Gov- iernment building at St. Louis, together with other data concerning the value ; ot the steel, which was stated to be about $100,000. The cost of tearing down the structure and transporting the steel by freight to Washington is piaced at about $20,000. ———— GAS COMPANY CREATES DEBT.—The Consolidated Heat, Light and Power Company yesterday filed a certificate for the creation of a bonded indebtedness of $60,000 to be issued in $500 twenty-vear gold bonds.

The bill passed both houses a few days ago after a hard fight. The reform element of the State i bitterly opposed the measure.

Robert Hunter, author and head of the university settlement in New York, startled the members of the Twentieth Century Club by making these state- ments to-day. “The average wage for men in the stockyards is $5 a week, while some very few skilled laborers receive $17 or $18," he continyed. “Employes, many of them, are in practical slavery, I have seen children 10 years old work- ing all day in great vats of blood. In- curable rheumatism before the age of 25 is reached is the common result and tuberculosis among children is ex- tremely prevalent. They have nothing to look forward to but death. “The masses of the poor are getting worse in this country. A few men are amassing enormous wealth. The mid- dle classes are disappearing and the conditions in the slums rival the worst in the great European cities.” ——— BLOSSOM FESTIVAL WILL BE HELD AT SARATOGA Citizens of Pretty Town Preparing to Show Outsiders the Wonders of Santa Clara Valley.
