DR., Ninde seems TO be a general f~avorite, and
there is a feeling that he will be elected to the
episoopacy on the first ballot, One Of the most
enthusiastic supporters of d., J. II. Vincent as
sured me yesterday that the Doctors strength
came from all quarters, that there is a sponta-
neous uprising in his favor, that he is in none of
the combinations, but is going in on his merits.
This gentleman is well informed on conference
matters. and his views may be relied upon. DR..
Fowler is coming into prominence again as a
suitable man for bishop. Others who are strong
for the episcopacy are DR.. j. M. Walden, Dr. W.
r. Mallalieu, DR.. Buttz and DR.. Sims.
DR.. Edwards, l hear, has a competitor for the
editorship of the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate in DIR. j. c. W. Corce. of Iowa, but the
Doctor is looked upon as one Of the best editors
in the church. and there is no likelihood either
that he will lose his place or meet with any Sc
rious opposition when the voting occurs. For the
Central Christian Advocate there are several
candidates; as also for the Western. Drs. Good
win. of Illinois; Leonard, of Cincinnati, and
McElroy. of Illinois, all have their eye on DR..
Fry's place, while DIR. Hoyt hns rivals in the per-
sons of DR.. Bayliss and DR.. Mendenhall, of
Obic, and DR.. Rawlins, of Indiana. DIR. Alex
ander Martin is also spoken of for the Western,
but the race, l think, will be between DR.. Hoyt
and DIR. J. III. Bayliss.

vances in this way, and who nave believed, md
have so confided to their friends. that they had
found a particularly choice investment. The
amount of this paper outstanding is not known,
but from the amounts that have been seen, it is
presumed to be very large.
A member Of the firm said that the money had
been used to make advances to government con
tractors. principally to those furnishing supplies
to the government. Owing TO the red tape which
attends payment by the government and the con,
sequent delay, the firm has taken assignments of
contractors claims, paying less than their face
value, and assuming the risk that the supplies
furnished or the work done would be accepted.
The firm has also made large advances to rail
road companies in process of construction
notably the Buffalo, Pittsburg & Western and
the New York, Chicago & St Louis. They ad-
vanced the latter company $500, 600, taking as
security a lot of its second mortgage bonds.
About 3 o'clock, Mr.. Ward failing to put in an
appearance, permission was obtained from the
Safe Deposit Company to break open the vault.
a safe man was sent for, and q Legitimate job Of
craftsmanship was done. Mr., Smith said that
a very large amount of securities was found. He
presumed there were as many there as there
ought to be, and said that if they had been able
10 get in tho vault in the morning they would
not have had to suspend. Regarding the ru1nors
that Mr.. Ward was a detaulter, he said that up
to the present time nothing had been discovered
to warrant the They had probably
arisen from the fact that MI. Ward had not the
courage to face the music.
A TREND Of The firm said that from what he
could gather he could estimate it's gross liabili-
ties at from $780, 900 to 81, 900, 900. The firm of
Grant & Ward was organized in July. 1880. A
few months later Gen. Grant and james d.. Fish
were admitted as special partners. They subse-
quently became general partners, and William
Smith, a member of 20 Stock Exchange, was
also admitted. H'.S firm had a capital of $500, 600.
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Fish put in 800, 900 each.
o.. S. Grant, jr., about two years ago married the
only daughter of United States Senator Chat
fee, who, If is said, gave her $400, 900 in gov
ernmert bonds as a wedding present. On April
30 U. S. Grant, jr., sold the house No. 223 East
Seventy-third street to Sylvester M. Hamilton,
for $27,500.
Considerable speculation was INDUCED in as
to General Grant, in the event of the failure
proving a bad one, losing his entire fortune, and
n good deal of sympathy was expressed for him.
AT the Office of Il. D. Morgan & Co. it was stated
that the $3.50. 900 trust fund for General Grant
was absolutely safe, was in the hands of the
trustees, had not deprecated, and had not been
invested in Wabash general mortgage bonds, as
had been reported.

THE BISHOPS. ADDREss

Points In the Quadrennium Read to the Con-
ference ON Monday.
The address was read by Bishop Harris. Bish.
OPP Simpson, who was in the char, being too I'm
well to read it. The address said, of Philadel-
phia;
ut was in this city that the fathers of precious
memory, Boardmen and Fillmore, Asbury and
Rankin, first preached the gospel on American
sell. Here, also, thirty years earlier, the match
less eloquence of Whitefeld shook the city. as it
did the whole Atlantic coast, with its bold and
mastery address. Here still stands st. Georges
Church, where the early conferences of 1713,
LIZA and ITO were held, the only church edifice
remaining in the United States which was oecu-
pied for religious services by the Method;sts be-
fore the revolutionary war. Thus the memo
ries Of q hundred years throng around US and
summon us to like strenuous and noble action"
The cause of the success of the early Metho-
dists IN this country the address declared to be
three: Their tireless zeal and holy living, the fun
danental character of their doctrines, and the
itinerancy Of the ministers. MAY we not ask
ourselves whether as ministers and as members
OF the church We have the same zeal and ear
nestness; whether the fundamental doctrines of
the gospel are SO constantly the theme of our
preaching, and whether we are maintaining our
itinerancy in its original power2"

Character of Grant g. Wards Business.

New York Special.
The suspense of those most deeply interested
was painful to see. General Grant, who had
hobbled into the Office on crutches, supported by
his colored attendants, sat in a large easy chair.
His face was pale, but not a muscle of 1t moved,
except when in an absent and apparently indif,
ferent manner, he responded in monosyllables to
occasional remarks addressed to him. In an
swer to an inquiry respecting the affairs of his
firm, he said, quietly but decisively: moth
ing to say. | don't want to talk about it"
Owing to the peculiar nature Of the business
done by Grant & Ward, and owing to their ina
bility to furnish any data, it is impossible to es-
innate how the firm stands. They have been
very large borrowers of money, for much of
have represented that they were interested in
certain large government contracts, the exact
nature of which they could not divulge. To OBJ
tain money to handle these contracts they have
given the firm notes, indorsed by U. s. Grant
and James ID. Fish, promising the holders of
these notes large rates of interest, representing,
they said, a share of the large profits that would
accrue to the firm from the transaction, In serge
cases they have paid, it is stated, as high as 5
per cent. for the use for thirty days of money
obtained on these notes. For sixty days 2 IL
and 3 per cent. were a usual rate.

RECIPROCITY TRIUMPHANT.

Unless the interests of the Pacific
Coast arc to be subordinatcd TO
those of Eastern mOnopolists, there
is not much fear of the United States
throwing away her commercial rcla-
tioEs with this country. An article
in the last San Francisco Merchant
shows in n striking light the great
increase of American commerce
through the operation Of the Ha.
waiian treaty. - A market has been
created for Island products under
it, which otherwise would not exist,
and this has developed IN active de.
mand for Californian products and
manufactures, thereby building up
steady and profitable traffic between
the two countries" AS an arsu.
ment to reconcile the champions of
American shipping to the perma-
nencc of the treaty, the Merchant
describes the success of the Oceanic
Steamship Company. 1t numbers
the San Francisco Chronicle as
supporter of the treaty in future,
because il advocates during the pre-
sent campaign Il policy of CONNER
cial reciprocity as a means for de-
veloping American trade and com
merce. The editor of the Merchant
takes pleasure in telling his Hawaiian
friends that the prospect never was
more assuring than it is to-day in
regard TO n continuance Of the treaty
of commerce with the United States.
Every objection to it has been broken
down, and it now only depends upon
those most nearly interested to work
Loyalty to develop to the utmost the
paying trade between California and
Honolulu. What the measure of
that trade is, may be inferred by a
glance at the value Of the mcrchan-
disc exported to the Hawaiian King
dom during the first half of the pres
ent year from San Francisco alone.
If the value of direct shipments
from New York and Boston to Homo
lulu could be added together with
the lumber shipments from the entire
Pacific Coast, the showing would be
very much better, but the partial
