The Treasurer's report was presented and ordered printed. G. W. Norton, of Kentucky, was unanimously re-elected Tioasurer and W..L. Thomas, of Kenlucky, was elected Auditor. ; . A communication was presented from the American Baptist Home Mission Society, in relation to the matter of co-operation in the border States, which was referred to a com mittee. The committees on the time and place for holding the next convention and on nominations wore appointed R9V.-R. M. Ellis, of Maryland, chair man of the joint committee of boards appointed at the last annual meeting, submitted his report. The' committee j say they are satisfied and impressed with the eminent wisdom of the gen eral method of the convention. "Its great need is not of new plans but of more effective work. The first sec tion of the report refers to the rela tion of the committee to State or ganizations. Recognizing the para mount importance of avoiding any appearance of conflict and of secur ing for the convention the heartiest sympathy of the brethren who are charged with Stateiwork the commit tee recommended that such State or ganizations ah prefer to devise and execute their, own plans of raising money for boards and conventions, - and for raising quotas of their respective States, in case it shall at any time appear to either board of the convention that any State will probably fall Bhort of raising its quota, it shall be the duty of the sa'd board, in co-operation with the State board, to employ such lAeans as may be deemed best to sup ply the deficiency. Section 2 recommends that article 3 of tbe constitution be so amended that the convention shall consist, first: of those who contributed funds or are delegated by Baptist bodies contrib uting funds for the leguiar work of the convention on a basis of one dele gate for every $250 actually paid' to tne treasurer of the board during the fiscal year endincr on the 30th dav oi April neit, preceuing ma meeting of the convention; second: of one representative from each of the district associations which co-operate with this convention, provided that such representative be formerly elec ted by his district and his election certified to by the secretary of the convention; a id third: of one repre sentative for every $500 collected and expended jointly with either of the boards of this convention by any State convention or general associat'on. Section 3 urges the encouragement and formation of women's missionary circles and children' bands in all churches and Sunday School?, and that societies so formed be used as the. proper channels for conveying their contributions to the objects for which they are designed. Section 4 refers to dissemina tion of missionary information and recommends : First. That the boards of the con vention use the columns of their own denominational newspapers to dis seminate as much information as pos sible in referonce to the progress and needs of their work and that each board publish besides, at its discre tion, journals, putting 'the price as low as will cover the cost of publica tion. Second. That the boards continue to print tracts, leaflets and circulars, in a mounts as large as they can us advantageously, and distribute them through all suitable agencies so as to give them wide circulation. Third. That the Bureau of Mis sionary information already estab lished in Baltimore deserves commen da ion and that others of like charac ter should be organized when practi cable in other centers. Fourth. That wo earnestly urge the establishment and maintenance of monthly concerts of prayer for miissions as the most effectual means of keeping up an intelligent interest in the evangelists of the world. Section five urges systematic benefi cence and recommends the Scrip tural plan of Christian giving as elastic and simple enough Tor appli cation to all churches. f Section two recommending an amendment to the constitution as to the basis Q representation gave rise to considerable discission and for the first time in the history of I the convention a call of the House was ordered upon the adoption of that section. The vote stood 558 for the affirmative. The Negative vote was not counted as it only required 511 votes to make a necessary two thirds. The report was then adopted as a whole. The remainder of the da) 's session was consumed in orJiuary business. Tomorrow afternoon a memorial meeting will be held out of respect to the memories of Kev. Dr. if. Jti. Mell, the late President of the con vention, and Rev. M. T. Yates, late missionary to China. STILL POURING 15. Special to the News and Observer.

Baltimore Sun, nthl j The friends! of the Mills bill take a more hopeful view of the tariff situa tion since the caucus Thursday night, and there is a strong feeling in favor of voting as aj unit forthe bill even if certain amendments proposed are not adopted. . Chairman Mills, m con-1 versing on the subject today with a representative of the Sun, said he did Qot ask any man to walk up rp-wl-low the committee's bLn,LrQ3fjjF, but what he does ask and Aspect ist that every Democrat in the House will sink for the time being his mere personal interests and stand squarely in line with bis party on the tariff question. So far aa the present bill is concerned, Mr. Mills sys, the bill is not what he would like to have it, and he has yielded many points wan a view of securing united support. There is no necessity for any gentle man to turn his back on his party and fly into the arms of the Republican party for protection, and ,it would be more manly and patriotic for all Democrats, whether the bill meets their particular views or not, to come into the fanr'ly circle and there talk the matter over, instead of standing on the outside growling and criticising. There is nothing unreasonable, he tninks, in such a reques', and party loyalty demands that an agreement should be reached' even if personal sacrifices have to be made. Mr. Mills is exceedingly, anxious that there should be a regular attendance of Democratic members during the remainder of the time to be devoted to the consideration of the tariff r question, for, he says, "every time we, are outvoted on any question, no ma' ter how trifling it it may be, our political opponents at tempt to ridicule us. They are more regular in their attendance, and un less we are all constantly on hand while this question is pending,serious complications may arise." He regrets that Democratic members are inclined to absent themselves from the House without taking the precaution to pair, and he has requested all of the friends of the bill to remain within call- He is very much encouraged at the out look, and while not rejoicing over the failure of Mr. B9riah Wilkins, of Ohio, to receive a renomlnation for Congress because of his opposition i to free wool, Mr. Mills says it only goes to prove mat the country is (ully aroused on Ihis question, and it will not do for CongTess to close its eyes to the real state of affairs. The defeat of Mr. Wilkins and the nomination of an out-and-out free wool man in his place has set many gentlemen on the doubtful list to thinking, and Mr. Wilkins' case has been one of the leading subjects of comment at the capitol today. When Mr. Ranall was , iuformed that one of his lieutenants had been stricken down at home Lis face assumed a most serious expression, and he shook his head and walked away, murmur ing "Poor Beriah !" "Poor Beriah ! Forty -eight hours ago but few per sons in Washington would have ven tured the prediction that Beriah Wil kins, who has been three times elected from the sixteenth Ohio dis- ricr, and is now chairman of the com mittee rnn banking' and currency would fail of a re-nommation- And now it is said that JudgeLenney, an ntW Jrrotected-wool Democrat m Ohio. iB to be left at nome on aocoun of hia tariff record Thm all shows that the Deople are doing some think . - . . v CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS YESTEllDAY HOUSE, IN SUNDRY MATTER 3 IN THE HOUSE TARIFF DEBATE DISCUSSING THB GREAT CALIFORNIA FAILURE THE By Teleijrapli t the News anil Observer. Washisgton, May 12 Hocsa. The House met - this morning at 11 o'clock. : . On motion of Mr. Lgan, of Louis iana, the bill was passed extending the limits of the port of New Orleans so as to include a portion Of the par ish of Jefferson. Mr. Hopkins, of. Virginia, intro duced a bill to prevent convict labor from competing with organized labor. Referred. " j . The Hon se then went inito commit tee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair) oh the tariff bill. Mr. Haugen, of Wisconsin, con cluded his speech begun last evening in opposition to tho bill. He criti cized the bill asbeingpoliticalinitsfea tures and said that it did not interfere with Democratic sugar, rice, iron, coal and whiskey, while it selected Repub lican wool, lumber and garden pro ducts upon which to try the experi ment of free trade. Mr. Townsend, of Illinois, spoke in support of the bill. The issue pre sented by it, he said, had often been mis-stated in debate. The issue was not between protection and free trade. No one insisted that this was the issue except some desperate Western Republicans who were forced by the party lash to betray their constitu ents by opposing the measure. It would bring relief to the people from the curse of unjust and excessive taxation There were no advocates of free trade in Congress. Even those who in theory believed free trade preferable to pro tection realized that the amount of the public debt and the necessary ap propriations lor pensions rendered free trade impracticable. The only issue raised by the bill was whether Congress would reduce the high tariff created during the war, which was wholly unnecessary now, and produced distress among the people. The pending bill only caused a re duction of less than $54,000,000, and would still leave a tariff tax aggre gating $163,000,000. It would only reduce thepresent rate from 47 to 36 percent. ;The bill did not go far enough. It did not go so far as the President had indicated it should go nor so far as Senator Sherman had declared it might safely go. Yet it and would have his cordial support. He denied the assertion that it was for the benefit of the Southern States and he declared that that assertion would have no weight wrh the peo ple whom it was intended to deceive. The time for action, was. at hand. The Democratic party must redeem the E ledges it had given the people. The ne of demarcation between the two great national parties was clearly de fined in the bill The policy enun ciated in the President's 'message was the only political issue before . the country. The President stood on the principles of the Democratic party. Mr. Millikin, of Maine, denounced the bill as relegating the industries of the States on the northern border to the tender mercies of New Bruns wick and Canada. The bill was framed not to reduce revenue, but to favor the Democratic States and make votes in doubtful districts. Mr. Eean of New Jersey, advocated the reduction of theinternal revenue and characterized the bill as a sacri fice of the industries of the coun to the interest of President Cleve land. S Mr. Alleu, of Mississippi, advo cated the pending bill and attacked the 'protective system. Referring to the remark made by Mr. Morrow, of California, that the recent failure of W. T. Coleman & Co. was attributa ble to the fact that the Mills bill put borax on the fiee list, he said that the nrm was in a combination to in crease the price of borax from Or to 7 cents a pound. Air. iw or row sug gested that before the native article of borax was produced the price had never been below 28 cents a pound. Mr. Allen hoped that the Mills bill would treat every other trusL-in the same way. If there could be no graver charge brought against, the measure man mat it uurei a trust ne said let the grand bursting go on, Mr. Lehback, of N- J., said that the President deserved the admira tion of the Republican party for hav ing taken away all possibility ol a deceptive campaign in -the man uf act tiring States of the Union. The committee then rose.

The tialveriltj". Chapel Hill, May 12 Cor. it the News andObserver. The call for a full meeticg of the Alumni of the University at the ap proaching commencement, has been made none too soon. The condition of the institution has been a morti fying topic among its friends for a year or two past The very illiberal act of the legislature at its. last ses sion in withdrawing $7,500 of income, from the University was bound to re sult in seriously crippling its ener gies, lessening i'S usefulness and im pairing i?s dignity. North Carolina ia always taking a step or two ahead, and then, feeling frightened at . her rash ness and extravagance, inva riably takes two steps back ward. She would this day bet fajf in advance of her present position among the States, far in advance of such progress and prosperity as she reckons herself to have attained, if she had- been true to her first best instincts and gone ahead. -"lie sure you are right,' said Old Hickory, "anl then jo ahead." North Carolina h3s been right many times and got no benefit or advantage from it, because her men grew faint hearted and drew back, tier history is full of such pages. She was right when ehe spread more sUll on the University three years ago and created new schools there, elected new professors and made the institution stand forward ample, generous, well equipped and ready to run a race with the beEt of them. Then came the leactibn, the inevi table legislature, and the collapse. There ha3 been felt all through the State a general want of self respect, ever since the meeting of the legisla ture of 1886-87. Business has been dull, trade and enterprise have lan guished, misfortunes have come "not single spies, but in battalions," and all because the representatives of the people were unfaithful to their trust, and did not represent public judg ment in that session. We call it a two penny business and having very much the air of a mean one, for the State of North Car olina, to erect sew professorships and with sound of trumpet to eleot men from north, east, south and west to come and occupy the chairs. Gentle men leave their homes, break up their business relations elsewhere, make the move, at great expense and sac rifice, come in, and settle among us, and promise and do actually perform good work and are going on, as s they hope, to establish a name and put in their best work, when, suddenly, their chairs areulled from undor them and they trenchmcnts. For , every man so treated North Carolina and the Uni versity gain wol!, they don't gain friends or supporters or enthusiasts in their pra' Be. The University people themselves have been faint-hearted. What they should have done was to go on and throw themselves on the State. Pub lic feeling should have been aroused. What ! Deprive the University of one-third of its income, and not a word said t The institution drop ping its head, shedding its leaves, wilting and everybody looting on in silence. Somebody had an axe to grind at that legislature that is going to be a costly axe to North Carolina. This btate as not what one may call a high stepping State ; not an im pulsive, impetuous, ardent, imagina tive sort of people . lint North Car olina is just; she Jikes to pay her debts, she is sensible; she knows a hood thing when she sees it, and knows she cannot have it without paying for it, and her people have an honorable quiet pride and dignity of spirit that at tbe pinch may always be relied upon to rebuke the dema gogue and mere ax grinder and put things straight again. It is this spirit that in the long run does come to the rescue and saves the good old State from seri ous or enduring loss. Their spirit must now be invoked. The State University is now as it has been for a hundred yeart an object of warm interest to the whole State. It is our owe, our best legacy from the men of the Revolution. Thirteen years ago ws reorganized, and reestablished it. We put the best man we could find in North Car olina at the head. We have got together as good faculty aa our means would allow, and, on the whole, we are satisfied with the result. Mistakes have been made, no doubt. Criticism has been aroused. That is all right. Mistakes there will be and criticism is healthy On the whole, we repeat, we believe that President Battle s administration commends itself to the good judg ment of our best people. He has had a difficult part to play, but his good temper, his prudence, his moderation and his ability have been Bignally displayed all through. The Alumni must take their stand by the president. North Carolina will support them and him too. If there is any dead wood m the faculty let them cut it out, but let nothing that shows healthy growth be up rooted. Let the Alumni cherish the University and let the University cherish its Alumni. Stick a pin right there. , Why was not ' the call upon the Alumni signed by Alumni 7 It would have been in better taste, to say noth ing of the common sense. Alcmxcs. Died.

The damage al ready done in the washing out of rail road tracks, levees and the destruc tion of dwelling houses on low lands is heavy. The majority of thamanu facturing establishments in the city have been obliged to shut down and many men have been made idle. On the levee all the stores have several inches of water on the first floors and it is impossible to receive Or ship goods. Many families who have fled from the flooded district are living in tents or seeking shelter in public buildings. The river in some places is several miles wide and entire farms are under water. The damage all around will reach into hundreds of thousands. Railroad tracks are under water; steamboats cannot do anything, as freight cannot be handled at the evee and business is paralyzed.
