a Methodist Conference Divided on the
Two COlOrs in Its Congregations.
PROVIDENCE, II. l., April AT the
session of the New England Southern NJ.
f. Conference to-day, Rev. A. Cardoll
spoke on the work OF the Freedman's Aid
Society. A meeting of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society was then had, Mrs.
James Matthers presiding. Mrs. Duns-
tern, wife of the Presiding Elder in South
Carolina, delivered an address re-
garding poor whites in the South,
whose condition she described as inferior
to that of the enfranchised negroes. Rev.
DR.. Fox reported for the Freedmen's Aid
Society, denOuncing the Introduction of
cOlored people in the churches and schools
of the South, and protesting against
sending contributions from the New
England Conference to those who
would separate the whites from
the blacks. He urged the adoption of dis
solution asking the General Conference to
abolish any conference boundaries which
set apart the churches of cOlOred people.
Rev. Mr.. Vaugn, Presiding Elder of the
Conference, said that while he was in
sympathy with the Christian spirit of Op-
posing caste in churches, he believed that
it would not be advisable to force an issue.
The subject was discussed at some length
At the afternoon session a resolution
urged by DIR. Fox was amended to read:
ResOlUed, That we deprecate any ten
dency in'O our church, by whOmsOever and
wherever manifested, to succumb to the
baleful and anti-scriptural spirit of caste.
With this alteration the entire report
was adopted.

WAITS FROM WASHINGTON.
scrips and Scraps of News Wired from
the National Capital.


WASHINGTON, April GA decision was
rendered by the United States Supreme
Court to-day in the case of the Cook
County National Bank, of Chicago.
against the United States. The principal
question in the controversy was whether
a bank being insOlvent the claim-of the
United States for money deposited by the
Postmaster of Chicago is a preferred
claim or not. The court holds that the
provisions of the national bank act,
section 5236, revised statues, have the
ehect OF withdrawing from national
banks that have failed the cases of insoI-
vent persons out of whose estate the de-
mands of the United States are to be
pald in preference to the claims Of other
creditors. The claims of the United
States, therefore, against an insOlvent
national bank are not entitled to priority
of payment out of its assets. The court
also answers III the negative the question
whether the United States have the right
to claim the payment of their demands
out OF surplus moneys remaining In the
Treasury, or bonds deposited as security
Tor the circulating notes of the bank The
court holds that bonds so deposited con-
stitute trust fund, and trustee cannot
set of against bonds held by him in that
character his individual demand against
the grant of the trust.
The Post Office Department has issued
an order amending the postal regulations
SO as to provide that all letters upon which

person addressed, or of the party whose

without additional charge of postage.
Forwarding must be continued until the

A sensation in Wau Street.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Wall street was

Diaz's Explanation of His Visit

BOsToN, April 9.-EX-President Diaz,
in an interview last night, said that the
statement published that he is visiting
this country on official or business matters
is entirely erroneous. His trip is for
pleasure only and for the pur-
pose of becoming acquainted with our
institutions. He is not cooperating with
any American syndicate of railroad opera
tors, and denies that his influence is to be
used to obtain for such parties any con-
cessions. He trusts that prompt action
will be taken on the reciprocity treaty,
and says the German land scheme, So
called in Mexico, is wholly imaginative.
