No sweeter spirit has ever prevailed or pervaded a great religious assembly. From start to finish the uppermost thought. Yea the aspiration of our mighty Baptist hosts has been the glory of God, the salvation of men and wo men. The meeting then was memorable on account of its loyalty to God's word, its beautiful Christly spirit and its fine busi ness sense. Brethren came to 'Wilmington from all over our southland, and from other sec tions of the country, bowed down with the gravest apprehension. A cloudburst was expected. A storm of passion and angry words was feared, but there . was no explosion. Kvery cloud rolled by and sunshine and"Fpeace catme down on our mighty convention.

V1 "NEW AND BOTCHED VERSION' OP THE MONROE DOCTRINE Are Terms Used by Senator Morrill In Ar 1 going Against the Cuban Resolution. Senator Lodge Urges Delay Amend ments to Wool Clause of Tariff Bill Im portanee of a Pacific Station for . Oar Xavy Urged In the House. " : J, SENATE. j Washington, May 11. Senator Man tle, of Montana, introduced two amend ments to the wool schedule of the tariff bill. He explained that one of these represented the views of the National Wool Growers' Association while the other had been agreed to by a number of senators on the republican side. The amendments were referred to the finance committee. The Morgan Cuban resolution was taken up as soon as the routine busi ness was out of the way and Senator Morrill spoke in opposition. He said the purpose of all the Cuban resolu tions, including that of Senator Mor gan, was to wrest the Jurisdiction hith erto held and exercised only by the ex ecutive branch of the government, in recognizing the belligerent rights or the, independence of nations and thus to exercise the power by congress in regard to Cuba. He declared that con gress had no such power and that its exercise would be contrary to all prec edents. It will hardly be claimed, .he said, that belligerent rights of revolt ers should have recognition based mere ly on sympathy but they must be based on justice and law. Were we now to recognize the Cuban revolters as bel ligerents the legitimate government would at once' be released from re sponsibility for damages which Ameri can citizens may suffer from any future acts or misdeeds of the revolters. The fact that the present administration was retaining General Lee at Havana was some proof, he said, that good work is being done there now and this, supplemented by the inquiries of a competent special commissioner, would give the president better information than that derived from the sudden in spiration of any Cuban annexationist in America. . The senator held that Spain, vexed by filibusters and by the stalwart sym pathy of the United States for the in surgents would construe a resolution recognizing the Independence of Cuba as equivalent to a declaration of war. For himself, he hoped tor the early and complete independence of the island and when the time was ripe. Inde pendence would come, war or no war, But he was wholly opposed to the an nexation of Cuba, as it meant the ad mission of Cuba "as a, state equal in power to New York. Senator Morrill turned his attention to the "new and botched version of the Monroe doctrine with all its apocry phal additions by our intrepid jingo ists." This new version, he said, sought to make the United States the "un asked guardian and the fighting cham pion of all the American republics, big and little. - Senator Foraker, of Ohio, spoke briefly on the desirability of careful in quiry by the foreign relations commit tee. There was no purpose, hesaid, to trifle with the resolution and he urged Senator Morgan to allow it to be re ferred. ' Senator Allen, populist, of Nebraska, 'asked what more could be learned. Senator Foraker responded that a question existed as to the facts. He said he had read some of the evidence in the possession of the state depart ment and he felt that it should be ex amined carefully, before action was taken. - This led Senator Allen to a warm criticism of the "premeditated purpose of the state department to keep the senate in ignorance.' Senator Foraker disclaimed having said anything to warrant a statement that the executive or state department withheld information from he senate or desired delay. Speaking of the policy of the administration he said: "So far as, the administration is concerned, it is not undertaking to shirk Its duty as to Cuba. On the contrary, the admin istration has its policy in regard to that question and in due time it will take its action in correspondence with that policy." . . "May I be permitted to ask," inquir ed Senator Allen "what is the policy of the administration in respect to Cu- i ba?" , "The policy of the administration" said Senator Foraker, "is, as I under stand it, to ascertain at once, beyond peradventure, what are the exact con ditions existing in Cuba. It has taken steps in that direction. It has sent its duly authorized agent there to make the inquiry. It will be but a short time until a report is made to the ad ministration a "report by the adminis tration's own representative, a report on which the administration will feel warranted in taking action. Senator Mills said it was rather a late day to start and inquire whether war exists in Cuba. The state department was not the only source of information. We know just as well that war exists in Cuba as that war exists in Greece, or that an overflow" has occurred on the Mississippi river.t Moreover, the senate was precluded from questioning the facts, as it had already passed a concurrent resolution declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, a member of the committee on foreign re lations, stated that there was late in formation in the possession of the state department which was most important and should be given to congress and the country before the passage of these resolutions. Under the last adminis tration, he said, the senate had been kept in the dark as to Cuba, but he did not believe there was any disposition on the part of the present administra tion to withhold any information from congress or the Tcountry. He believed the information now at hand would strengthen the resolution, as it- would then have behind it the support of our consuls and officials. Senator Stewart arguedthat it would be as wise to collect evidence that the sun shines as' to seek further to show that war was. going on in Cuba, The Cuban resolution was laid -aside to permit the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill to be consid ered. The report was concurred in and the items of disagreement sent back td conference. At 3:30 o'clock p. m., the senate went into executive session and at 4 o'clock p. m., adjourned. , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The consideration of the senate amendments to the sundry civil ap propriation bill was finished "by the house today and the bill sent to con ference. President Cleveland's forest reservation order was the subject of i mitxh Aahat and (th hmisp vntpd not i . r . ! to concur- in the senate amendment to annul the order, with the understand ing that the conferees should arrange an amendment which would have the same effect. ' . - - The most interesting debate was on the appropriation of $50,000 to improve Peart harbor in the Hawaiian islands, which was rejected by a vote of 85 to 53. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, past and pros pective chairman of the committee on foreign, affairs, earnestly urged the im portance of taking steps to confirm the title of this government to a harbor in view of the senate's proposal to ab rogate the Hawaiian treaty. He spoke of the advantage of this port as a naval station. ' "We have" - tried for thirty years," he said "to secure naval sta tions in many parts of the world and nof one ave we today. The navy of Great Britain, which is so powerful, can be placed in any part of the globe and be within reach of supplies as well as facilities for repairs. Our nation, in case of war, would be helpless as soon as its coal ran out. In the Pacific ocean the great powers of the world England, France, Germany, Spain all posses one, , two, ten : twenty spots from which to fit out ships that would devastate our coast.- Now if ; t that treaty fails if it is abrogated Great Britain will Instantly press for new relations with Hawaii Instantly Ja pan will be pressing, and fiercely press ing. In the telegrams of this morn ing I read that the cruiser NInevah has already arrived at Hawaii to press threatening claims upon that feeble government." Mr. Hitt -was supported by Messrs. Commings.of New York;Henry,of Con necticut; Parker, of New Jersey, and Simpson, of Kansas, and opposed by Messrs. Cannon, of Iillinois; Sayers, of Texas; Hilborn, of California, and Walker, of Massachusetts. The house decided to concur in the amendment which gives the president power to appoint the twelve mineral land commissioners, thus taking them out of the classified , service, and the provisions for four new commissioners and four deputy marshals for Alaska and for continuing the investigation of the seal fisheries. At 5:30 o'clock the house adjourned until Thursday. BJCT. AIRY IMPROVEMENTS. To Erect Water Works and Electric Plant. Southern Drug Company Incorporated. Application for Iase of Swamp Land.

Glass Deserts Home and Goes' Off With an Employee of her Husband. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, May 11. Mrs. George H. Glass has eloped from her home here and gone to some place unknown, taking with her her 11-vear-old son. She fled with Henry Hart, aged 21, who two months ago was given work by Glass, who is manager of the Ra leigh telephone exchange. Glass, his wife and Hart are all from Richmond. Hart's mother is a widow and Glass gave him employment to aid him. He recently discovered that his wife was improperly intimate with .. Hart. The latter intended to leave some days ago and Mrs. Glass packed her trunk and sent it to the station, expecting to leave with him. Hart remained, and so did Mrs. Glass until last Thursday, when Glass ordered Hart from his house, evidences of criminality being indisputable. Hart left for Richmond that night. Mrs. Glass followed Friday night and it is believed joined him in Richmond. The home relations o Glass and his wife had always been pleasant, and he was liberai and con siderate. He is greatly esteemed here and sympathy for him is hearty. He .will at once apply for a divorce. He is a prominent Pythian. Tuberculosis AmonjCattle at State Exper iment Farm. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, May 11. Ten days ago Professor Emery, in charge of the state experiment farm in this city's suburbs, began to think there was- tuberculosis in the herd of twenty cattle there. He sent a few days ago for an expert from Washington, who found four cows in fected. These were killed today. The investigation continues. The herd is entirely isolated and no other cattle have been near it. JUST CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT. The Saaboard Air line Disappointed a Large Number of Delegates to the South ern' Baptist Convention by Its Poor Schedule and Failure to Provide Proptr Train Service. Wilmington, N. C., May 1L Editors Messenger: . The delegates and visitors to the Southern Baptist c6nvention have been kindly treated during their stay in Wilmington, and have very much en joyed their visit to your city. The only thing connected with the trip about which complaint has been heard is the failure on the part of the Seaboard Air Line to furnish to a part of its patrons promptly at the close of the convention a train for the return trip. There is from Wilmington by this road only one train a day to points in South Caro lina and Georgia. . That train left dur ing the last session of the convention, and those who did not wish to leave before the meetings were over were obliged to spend nearly twenty-four hours in the citv after the meetings were over, much to their annoyance and at considerable expense. ' Other roads either had suitable schedules of regular train or ran specials for the accommodation of their patrons. By this failure of the Seaboard Air Line to accommodate its patrons at least 150 Or 200 delegates and visitors have suffered serious disappointment. It is no excuse for the officials to maintain that they did : not know that so many remained in the city until the close of the meetings. It was due those who came by their line that attention should have been given to this matter, and a little investigation would have shown the need of such special train. This read was very accommodating until they got us here.and then the accommo dating spirit suddenly left them, and those who came by their line could get away as best they could. Many will no doubt bear this in mind when ar ranging for the trip to the convention at Norfolk next year. J. A. BROWN, ' Delegate from South Carolina.

Fire Breaks Oat at iNIghtflmmediately I Under. the Steerage ThePassengers TTfl. able to Beach the Deck Sixteen Persons . Perish In ThlsJTrap The "City of Augus ta" to the Rescue Return to New York of the Steamer . V ; (New York World, May 10.) The 'Mallory line steamship . Leona, which left this port at 3 o'clock p.m. Saturday for Galveston, took fire off the Delaware Capes at 1 o'clock a. nv yesterday. Thirteen passengers and three members of the crew were burned to death. . , The Leona returned to her pier li tow last, night bearing her ghastly cargo. The Mallory line steamship Leona left her pier Saturday at 3 o'clock p. m. bound for Galveston, with eleven sa loon passengers and about twenty steerage passengers. She carried a gen eral cargo of merchandise. Captain Wil der was in command, with First Mate Wallace and Second Mate Sweeney assisting. The chief engineer was Tay lor, with three assistants, ajid a crew of about seventy-five men, including fire men and deck hands. The cargo In the forward hold of the Leona may have caught fire before she left her pier in the East river. If so the fire smoldered for twelve hours un der the closed hatches, but at 2 o'clock yesterday morning the fire burst forth so suddenly that the whole steamer seemed doomed. She was then off the south (New Jer sey coast, within thirty miles of Cape Henlopen. The fire was directly under the second cabin, where twenty-one passengers were asleep. This cabin was in the forward part of the ship below the main deck. The fire soon, burst through the hatches directly Into the second cabin, occupied by the steerage passengers. They were aroused from sleep only to find themselves confused by smoke and threatened by flames. They had not been long enough on board to know how to reach the com panion way in the darkness. Thus, caught in a trap, within twen ty feet of- light and air and freedom on deck above and within a few feet of the water - of the sea below - them, eleven' passengers died by suffocation. Last night the Leona limped to thi$ port with her entire forward deck burn ed away, her second destroyed, her steering gear ruined and sixteen dead on board. . (By Associated Press.) Savannah, Ga.,. May 11. The steam ship City of Augusta, of the Ocean Steamship Company, which went to the rescue of the passengers aboard the Leona, of the Mallory line, off the Del aware capes.arrived in port this after noon. - - Captain H. C; Daggett gives a thrill 1ng account of the incident a't sea which resulted In the burning alive of sixteen persons and came near prov ing a total destruction of the Leona and her passengers and crew. He says it was about 4 o'clock Sunday morning when he was awakened by Second Mate A. A. Daggett, who asked him to come to the pilot house and take a look at a ship which he had sighted and which was acting strangely. "Something is wrong," said the sec ond mate, "but I cannot make out what is the trouble." Captain Daggett took a view of the ship and declared at once that it was in flames and ordered the Ctty of Augusta to put about in. order to approach the doomed vessel. . He hailed the captain of the Leona and, told him he had como to render any service he might be commanded to do. "For God's sake take my passengers quick," shouted the captain of the stricken ship, and a boat with First Mate Frank Bogart and second Mate Daggett was sent to bring the pas sengers from the Leona to the City of Augusta. Captain Daggett says that too much praise cannot be given the officers of the doomed vessel for their heroic struggle to extinguish the flames. He says the bow of the hip was red hot and the paint was falling in huge flakes from her sides. The City of Augusta was delayed six hours, remaining at the side of the burning vessel until 11 o'clock Sunday. Captain Daggett was given congratu latory testimonials by the passengers of the ship before arriving in Savan nah.. . TO NEGOTIATE PEACE. Proposition of the Allied Powers Officially Blade to and Accepted by Oreece Col lapse of the Greek Commissariat. . Athens, May 11. The diplomatic perparleus which have been pro ceeding all the morning, have been brought to a definite conclusion.. Greece has formally adhered to the prelimina ries of peace as agreed upon between the. powers, and the heads of the differ ent legations have received positive as surances, investing them with author ity to treat with Turkey. M. Skoulo dis consulted all day long yesterday with the premier. M. Ralli. and the king. All the officials' of the foreign office were up all night in anticipation of the action of the German minister, who early this morning sent his secre tary to Inform the Greek foreign office that, he had received instructions to join in the representations of the pow ers and to proffer meditation. As soon as the reply of Greece to the note of the powers was handed to the representatives of the powers, the latter telegraphed the Greek decision to the representatives of the powers at Constantinople with the request that they obtain an armistice, with the view of arranging for permanent peace. There is a sense of relief in Athens today at the prospect of an immediate end to the calamitous war. There Is no excitement and no popular demon stration is anticipated. The govern ment has notified the Greek army of the mediation of the powers. The Greek commissariat has col lapsed. The only rations now received by the soldiers are bread and cheese. Not even coffee is" procurable. The Greek western squadron has bombarded the village of Sykia on the coast of Eplrus between Nicopolis and Elia, where the Turkish provison de pots are located."

Washington, May 11. Thp president today sent to the senate, a report by the. secretary of state containing the state department's translation of the letters written by General- Gomez, of the Cuban army, to President Cleve land in February last, and to Presi dent McKinley in March, appealing foij the sympathy and support of this coun try. The letters are the same which were published six weeks or two months ago, differing only on account of the fact that the translations were AVidently made by different persons. In the same communication the sec retary takes up the report that the Cu ban authorities have refused to permit the consul of the United States at Sa gua La Grande to communicate with Consul General Lee at Havana by means . of cipher dispatches. He says the consul did receive such prohibition from the mayor of Sagua La Grande, but that the mayor was promptly rep rimanded, upon a protest by General Lee, by the governor general. A copy of the governor general's letter is transmitted. He says the mayor mis interpreted his "instructions not to al low personal cipher dispatches to be sent without seeing the Code used, but that in order to avoid a repetition of such acts he has ordered that "the mayor' be severely reprimanded and that the governors and mayors be hereafter instructed not to obstruct of ficial telegrams addressed" to United States commercial agents or consuls In this island and their superiors or infe riors. The secretary says this termi nated the incident -and that since this occurrence neither the department or the United States consuls in Cuba have experienced any difficulty in the mat ter of telegraphic correspondence.
