The State Baptist Convention of ne? groes is now in session in this city, the convention having been called Wednesday morning In the Mt. Ziort Baptist Church by the Rev. J. J! 'Durham, president of the State con? vention. Representatives of 300,000 colored Baptists of the State were gathered 'together at the time and the eonven-' tlon bids fair to be one of the largest ( and most interesting ever held in the State. The exorcises were opened by pray? er and the preaching of a sermon by the Rev. G. W. Raiford of Aiken. Fol? lowing this came the president's an? nual address, a very interesting and instructive talk. The election of offi? cers for the ensuing year resulted In the re-election of former officers and organization was perfected without de? lay. The officers of the organization are: President, Rev. J. J. Durham, Columbia; vice-president, V. W. Prince. Bennettsville; secretary, Rev. W. H. Watkins, Belton; treasurer, Rev. E. W. Bowens, Spartan burg. The afternoon session of the con-' vontion was given over to the wel? coming of the delegates and responses to the speeches of welcome. The re? port of the executive hoard was read and showed that more work had been accomplished in the year just ended than ever before. The night session was largely taken up with the doc? trinal sermon by the Rev. David F. Thompson of Greenwood. One of the features of Thursday morning's session was a rally in behalf of Morris College of this city, for which an effort is being made by the State Convention to raise $5,000. The1 Rev. Dr. J. J. Stark is president of the college, which has done good work among the negroes in the past year. From the present outlook it seems that the effort to raise the money I will be successful and the college will' he able to go on doing its work. The' negro Baptist State Conven? tion, how in session in this 'city, was organized here thlrty-slx years aRii1,'1 when It commenced its work In the educational and missionary field among* the negroes of the State.

London, May 25.?Victoria park in the West End was the scene of riot? ing today, when trades unionists and Socialists attempted to hold a dem? onstration In support ??i votes for working women. Fifteen platforms ! had been erected, elaborately decorat? ed with Hags. The crowd stormed S truck on which were Sylvia Pank* hurst and other miltant suffragettes and dragged it outside the park. Mounted and foot police by repeat? ed charges finally drove the crowd away. Women and men fainted in the crush and children were trampled upon. In many instances the women's clothing were nearly torn off. There were innumerable free- lights and am ftulance corps were kept busy. Suffragists paraded with their colors, ths standard bearer rearing red liberty caps. This was the cause ;of more disorders.
