The deploying and firing of the troops was
not executed with the rapidity and precision of
regulars. The grand charge ELECTED great APP
plause. The batteries kept up an incessant
firing One was finally sienced and the works
carried with rush and yell i'll the midst of great
disorder and confusion. The bloodless battle
ended with no serious accidents.
The award of prizes was announced by the

cial prize, the Noyes cup, value $780, for the
best drilled man, was awarded private, r. Du-

THE CHURCH CONVENTIONS.
Proceedings of the General Methodist Epis-
copal Conference on Saturday.


cOpal Conference on Saturday.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-The Methodist
Conference reassembled this morning. Bishop
Harris in the chair Rev. j. E. Urlson, South
Carolina conducted devotional exercises. A
resolution was adopted providing that all con-
ferences organized outside of the United States
or hereafter organized, are entitled to the
same rights and privileges as those in the
United States.
The resolution offered by Ex-Governor Evans.
of Colorado, relative to instructing the agents
of two book concerns to furnish detailed state
ment of the past four years, was adopted, with
the amendment that the names of employees be
stricken from the schedule which agents are
required to furnish. Rev DR., Curry, from the
committee on episeopacy, reported, recommend
ing that India be fixed as an Episcopal resi-
dence.

Rev. DR.. Lanahan, of Baltimore, said there
was no room for mirth OF trifing here. Laugh
ter. 1t has been said if the bishop was APP
pointed for that country thousands from this
country would flock there. [Cries of Amen"
Rev. DR.. Buckley said the proposed action
might result in man going to a foreign country
who had no knowledge of languages. Hitherto
the residence of bishops had not been fixed until
after the election. 1t is now proposed to precip-
itate the matter by practically compelling the
conference to neglect the whole work or else
elect ffty-six bishops
Gen Fiske would like the board of bishops to
answer the questions whether the emergencies
of the work required should be a residence in Eu-
rope, India and Africa, or any other country,
and, if 50, whether additional bishops were
needed. Rev. DR.. Hare thought there were
many reasons why the matter should not be
postponed.
One of the missions of the church was in al
most a state of disintegration because they have
no bishop. He moved the consideration of the
matter. 1t was postponed and made the order
of the day for Monday.
Rev. A. B. Leonard, of Cincinnati, confessed
his heart was touched by the appeal of Mr.. Tay
lor to the conference, which would probably not
be adopted now, but the time was not far distant
when such motion would prevail. The colored
man is prescribed as no other man has ever
been, and the Methodist Episcopal Church can
do for Africa what no other church can do.

Representative Morrison, Chairman
OF the Ways and Means Committee,
being asked on Monday night elf he
thought there was any probability OF
the enactment Of any tariff Liquidation
during the present session Of Congress, u
replied that that" that was . matter
about which the general public were
almost rs we'll informed ~ himself II
was certain, he said, that II there had
not been some change Of views BY
Democratic members, no tax reduction
could be had except by the aid OF Re-
publicans. II IL not Unlikely, he
thought, that the discussion OF the
legislation necessary to carry the
Mexican treaty into effect would open
up the general tariff question. The
new treaty with Spain in relation to
the commerce OF the United States
with Cuba and Porto Rico would, he
said, be discussed In executive session
by the Senate, and would not be likely
TO lead to any tariff discussion.
Speaker Carlisle said TO an Associ-
ated Press reporter last night that 1t was
not probable that there would be any
general tariff legislation at this session
There is not time, he So Id, and the fact
that new Administration is about TO
come in makes Democrats and Repub-
licans alike disinclined TO attem pt
anything like a general revision of the
tariff now. There will be-" he said,
!" some tariff Legislation this session,
because the question Of enacting the
necessary legislation to carry the Mexi.
can treaty into effect will come before
the House, and should the Senate ratify
the treaty with Spain, the House will
be called upon to enact the legislation
necessary 10 carry that lrea'y intt
effect. The discussion of DO b treatie,
will. he thinks, open up the genera
tariff question and lead to some tall
upon it, but nothing further.
