In the Methodist Episcopal conference

for peace between England and the United
States, and a reconciliation between the
Methodist churches of the North and
South.
Mr. William H. Leonard has been ap-
pointed Judge, vice CardOza.
Mr. Phelps, who was shot last night by

1t is stated that the authorities here have
discovered a ring of cOnspirators, who,
under the law allowing wrecked foreign
vessels if sfepaired in this country to take
out American registers, have made fraudu-
lent atfidavits relative to a large number of
foreign vessels which never were wrecked,
and have thus successfully imposed upon
the collector of this port. The broker heFe
who has been made the tool of this ring is
a well known citizen, and he is furnishing
all the facts in his power, he having been
innocent of any fraud.
