WILL MEET IN GRIFFIN- Georgia State Baptist Convention Meets Here Next Year- Savannah, Ga , April 4 —The Geor gia State Baptist Convention, which Ims been in session here for several days, came to au end yesterday after selecting Griffin as the place for the meeting next year. There were six candidates for this honor —Macon, West Point, Athens, E berton, Marietta and Griffin. The committee to which the matter was referred decided in favor of Griffin, and as it had been agreed that the decision of the committee should be final, it was at once concurred in by the convention. The time of the next convention will be Thursday before the first Sun* day in April. An unsuccessful effort was made to change the time of meeting to Decem ber. Judge George Hillyer, ex-mayor of Atlanta, presented a report on lynch ings to the convention which was somewhat sensational. He gave start ling figures upon the increase of crimes ; urged the consideration of the question upon the church, and sug gested that as the law was slow, an appeal be sent to the legislature, urg ing action, and reminding them of the army of voters presenting the appeal. Judge Hillyer’s report and recommen dations were adopted. Judge Hillyer said that the increase in lynchings was due to the loss of popular confidence in the liw.s, the ease with which verdicts are set aside, and the facility with which notorious criminals escape punishment.

' WHITE FLAGS EVERYWHERE 1 The Better Class of Natives Are Re turning to Malolos Manila, April 4.—A recotinoissanco 1 today by a squad of cavalry under 1 Major Rucker developed into a sharp r skirmish with one thousand insurgents 5 entrenched at Ininguia, five miles northeast of Malolos.

The ' presence of the guns is a mystery, but the troops will make a thorough search 1 for any additional arms. For more than twenty miles the country between Caloocan and Malolos is dotted with white flags displayed by the Filipinos returning to their homes, i The better class of natives are return ing to Malolos. A priest entered the American lines 1 today seeking permission to resume his duties. General McArthur estimates that there are fully 10,000 deserted homes, and believes that the returning of the natives is a favorable indication. A prisoner reports great scarcity cf food among the insurgent troops. The situation in the southern islands con tinues uncertain. The latest move of the natives there is to extinguish all the lights in the various lighthouses. Major General Elwell S.

Washington, April 4 h —A bomb was exploded in administration circles by a prominent New York republican who came to Washington for the pur pose, when it was announced that Gov. “Teddy” Roosevelt was in the field for the republican presidential nomination, next year, and that there was an understanding between “Ted dy” and Gen. Miles, who has been credited with entertaining a similar ambition himself. Some of Mr. Mc- Kinley’s friends appear to think that he is bound to be renominated and re elected, but those of them who are long-beaded and who have had ex perience in politics, do not look at things that way ; they know that both Roosevelt and Miles have qualities which are calculated to arouse the enthusiasm and support of the young men in their party, and that with good management a combination of their following might give the Hanna- McKinley machine a hard fight, if not an actual throw down. If this an nouncement is straight, Boss Piatt must have failed in his efforts to keep “Teddy” off the McKinley track. With all Czar Reed's faults, and he has enough and to spare, he has never been a sneaky fighter, which is more than cm be said for the administration crowd, which is afraid to come out in the open and try to defeat Reed for the speakership, but is engaged in ■ trying to bluff him into not being a candidate, by stating that the admin istrating has determined to throw its influence for Reed, but with the ex i press understanding that the rules of . the next bouse shall be changed so as i to cut out all the Czir business. The idea is that Reed would not care to be , speaker, if be is to be shorn of the au i tociatic power he has weilded. This is on a par with the talk which has at times been beard ever since Reed first became speaker, about republicans who were going to unite with the dem ocrats to change the rules and curtail i _ ... —_ RoYal j Baking Powder I ’ Made from pure cream of tartar. r Safeguards the food , against alum ; Alum baking powders are the greatest menacers to health of the present day.

They never did so, and if the republicans elect Reed speaker cf the house again, as they will almost surely do, he will be 1 the same old Czar. Mr. McKinley has apparently at last become aroused to the danger, to his own political fortunes, of retaining Alger in lie cabinet, and, unless all I the political “wise men” are at fault, 1 the “Ex” is hot on the trail of Alger and cannot fail to catch up with him very soon. It has been, these men say, fully determined by Boes Hanna ’ and the other directors of the admin. 1 ietration machine that Alger must go. They prefer that be should do so will ingly, but if he declines to tender his resignation without being requested by Mr. McKinley to do w, Mr. Mc- Kinley will make that request. From a strictly selfish point of view, demo crats would prefer i hat Mr McKinley should keep Alger in the cabinet, fori then it would be impossible for the administration to deny responsibility for rilgerism and nil its horrors, but democrats are 100 patriotic to wish to see a man filling the responsible of fice of secretary <d war, who deserves to be kicked out, just to make political capital for their party; they wish, ( above everything else, to see the as« I fairs of the government properly ad ministered, and know that they will not be in the war department, as long ; as Alger is at its head.
