Pastor McAlisrer's Withdrawa1-A Reso-
 lution i'm Regard to the Matter-Third
 Day of the New York East Conference.
 BRooKLYN, April 9.-There was large at tendance at the opening of the third days session of the New York East Conference this morning. Bishop Wiley was in the chair by the time the roll was called Rev. J. Pullman offered the following resolution relative to Rev. William H. McAlister, who withdrew from his church in New Haven during the year to become pastor of an inde- pendent Methodist church in Baltimore
 Whereas. It has occurred several times the his- tory of the conference that pastors determining to withdraw from our church have felt at liberty to leav their work in the middle of the therefore,
 Resotoed, That it is the judgment of this confer that preacher can retire from his work until the meeting of the annual conference and that any such retirement, unless with the full concurrence of church authorities, reflects special dishonor upon himself.
 MT. Pullman in support of his resolution said the conference was too crowded to re- gret the withdrawal of any member. They had fifteen applicants already knocking at the door and not one-half of them could be ad- mitted There were honorable and dishon- orable ways of withdrawing from the church. minister was appointed for year, and if he went in the midst of the year he treated the church contemptuously. The man was false position by such proceedings. When a minister left in the proper way they would bid him God speed This recklessness was becoming almost universal and should be stopped The resolution was laid on the table. Rev. Seneca Howland's case was resumed on motion to make him effective. A long discussion ensued and the case was laid over until Monday This even ing the anniversary of the missionary society was held.

The Deadlock i'm the Senate. WASHINGTON, April s.-Indications that the deadlock in the Senate will not soon be bro ken continue to multiply. Significant among these is the departure of prominent Senators for their homes Urgent business has called away Messrs. Fair, Teller, Maxey and Gar land, while Davis is not expected back at present, although he is not paired Fair is paired with his colleague, Jones of Nevada Teller and Maxey with each other and Gar land with Edmunds, who is still in Florida. It is denied emphatically, and by those who ought to know, that the President will in any way interfere with the deadlock, at least for the present. Neither is it very prob able that an extra session of the Forty-sev- enth Congress will be called A number of Republican Senators who saw the President either yesterday or to-day state that he has no such intention at present, and that they do not know what influence could induce them to do so. These Senators express confidence ostensibly shared by the President that the case was so plainly stated in the Senate this week on both sides that good deal of think ing will be kept up and that one side or the other will make break before long. busy DemocratAas discovered that his side made thirty-seven intellectual motions to proceed to the consideration of executive business since the deadlock began On the under standing that the deadlock will last some time longer several Senators are preparing set speeches MT. Call will speak again on Monday. Speeches will also be made next week by Messrs Beck, Johnston, Brown and Butler MT. Allison stated today that he expected the Senate would be in session all summer.

Another Victory for Oxford.

Another Victory for Oxford.
 LONDON, April S.-The annual boat race between the university crews of Oxford and Cambridge was rowed on the Thames this morning and resulted in victory for Oxford by four lengths. The crews were afloat and at the starting point at s:s5 waiting for the signal. They started well together, both crews striking thirty-six strokes to the min- ute. Cambridge almost immediately fell into more rapid stroke but it wore them out, and before Hammersmith bridge was reached Oxford pulled ahead. The struggle thence through the reach was close, but the meeting water was somewhat rough and Cambridge feathered badly and lost steadily, and at Barnes were length behind. Cambridge then began desperate effort to retrieve, but splashed badly and lost more until at the finish they were four clear lengths behind. The steering of both crews was good. The time of the race was 21 minutes 51 seconds. E. 0. Brooksbank, stroke oar of the Cam bridge crew, strained himself severely by his exertions during the race, but has since par tially recovered.

Nobody but officials and reporters were al- lowed near the prisoner, who talked freely and said he was going to doom he justly de- served. The prisoner arrived at the scaffold about two hours before the execution, and services, consisting of prayer and song, were held by colored minister. Williams made short speech, in which he said that the pun ishment meted out was just, that he commit ted the crime for which he suffered. He gave advice to all present to avoid drinking and never act under passion. The drop fell few minutes before 2. and Williams died the death provided for criminals of his class.

The Record of Failures.

NEW YORK, April s.-Bradstreet on April 9th will publish summary of failures in the United States and Canada for the first quar- ter of the current year compared with the corresponding period of 1ssO-79. The total number of mercantile failures proper in the United States for the first quarter of 1881 is 1886, against 1894 for the corresponding period of 1880, and 2,3OO for 1s79 The in- crease for the last quarter is accounted for by the peculiar and abnormal condition of the West and South, and partly by in-judged ventures during period of general activity, and this while the general condition of trade was exceptionally sound The failures re- ported during the past week throughout the United States and Canada number 123, an increase over the preceding week of Il. The increase is entirely in the western States, Michigan and California showing the greatest number. There has been a decrease of four in the southern States, one in New England, two in the Middle States and five in Canada and the provinces.

 Scheme CIeverly Rolled.
 NEW YORK, April S.-The man who was shot yesterday by Detective Campbell while the latter was in the act of arresting him has been Identified as Edward Herman Sagert, an accomplice in an extensive blackmailing scheme, by which it was hoped to extract $6o, 900 from Louis Strasburger, 8 wealthy Hebrew of the firm of Louis Strasburger & Go, importers of watches. Letters were sent to MT. Strasburger purporting to come from 8 Nihilist society, and which threat ened death in case of refusal to pay $6O, 900. An unsuccessful attempt was made recently to kidnap ten-year-old daughter of Mir. Strasburger, and few days ago he received letter threatening death to himself and family. MT. Strasburger placed the affair in the hands of the police, and they, by the promising -to-settle method, succeeded in finding Sagert. On seeking to arrest him he attempted to draw revolver, threatening to blow the officers brains out, when Campbell shot him dead. Albert F. Vogel, a picture dealer of Stanton street, has been arrested as an accompice, and has confessed. The latter says Sagert was the prime mover in the af- far, but he is not believed The plan was to Ednap Rosa, the little daughter of Mr. Strasburger. and then compel the father to ransom her in heavy sum. s-zesss The peculiar circumstances surrounding the case have been topic of much and ex- cited discussion in police circles today The man who in attempting to blackmaiI Mir. Strasburger used the suggestive signature of the secretary of the executive committee to more effectually compel this gentleman to l accede to his exorbitant demands was, it is asserted by his acquaintances, Adolph Dart zing, the tool of more clever and more ex- perienced hands who do not appear on the surface. The police, though they make little of | the story, are evidently on the lookout for developments and resolutely refuse to cona-

municate any additional information. The
 superintendent says the officers are hard at
 work on the case and will soon trace the men to the room in which they had intended to imprison the girl in case they were success full in Kidnapping her; also that more arrests would be made. A number of letters that were not made public last night are still in the hands of the police who will not disclose important information. Vogel was arraigned this morning and at the request of Detective Campbell remanded till tomorrow for exam nation as at5 ss5-s~
