"a Letter from the President in Response
TO MI. Il, Conference Resolutions.


Al Letter from the President in Response
TO nj. Il, Conference Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, April IA letter has
been written by the president in response
to a resolution adopted at the session Of
the Philadelphia'annua conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, heldin Phil
adelphia, in which he says: / have re-
ceived certain resolutions passed at the
annual conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church held at Philadelphia on the
Goth. The action taken by this assem-
blage Of christian men has greatly sur
prised and disappointed me. They de-
clare that this conference earnestly pro
tests against the recent action Of the gov
eminent excluding the use Of native Lam
guages in the education of the Indians
and especially the exclusion Of the bible
among those tribes where It was formerly
used. The president continues: The
government seeks in its management of
the Indians TO c~iyiIize them and prepare
them for that contact with the world
which necessarily accompanies ciyiliza-
ton. Manifestly nothing Is more impor-
tant to the Indian from this view than a
knowledge Of the English language. All
the efforts Of those having the matter In
charge tend TO the ultimate mixture of
the Indians with our people, thus making
one community equal IN all those rights
which pertain Ia citizenship.
1t Will not do to permit these wards of
the nation III their preparation to become
sheir own master, 10 indulge In their bar
easier for them or because
it pleases them. Secular teaching
Is the object Of She ordinary government
schools. but surely there can be no OBJ
lection 10 reading a chapter In the bible
In English. Among the Dakota tribes
English could not be understood at the
daily opening Of these schools as y done
in very many other well regullted secular
schools.
Ii may be too that the use OF words In
the vernacular may be sometimes neces.
sary to aid in communicating a knowledge
of the English language, but the use Of

some Evidence That It May BE Near at
Hand In the strike.
CHICAGO, April Burlington officials
announced this afternoon that another
general advance would be made by them
tomorrow-the delivery Of cars to a large
number Of roads would be attempted and a
final struggle in the great strike would in
all likelihood take place. At police
headquarters special officers were being
sworn in all day from reserve lists of the
department. Five or six switches are the
key to the situation. AS these are splieed
or spiked the @ cannot deliver cars to
those roads and all the kings horses and
all the kings men would be powerless to
get a train through. There is imminent
danger and that the Q people evidently
fear. The switches of the Rock Island
yards, connecting with the Burlington
tracks, are locked and securely spiked so
that no @ cars can be run into the Rock
Island yards. The officials Of the st.
Paul road discovered 6oday that the
switches connecting with the Northwest
ern tracks at Western avenue, whereby all
freight is transferred from one road to
another, had been spiked during the
night.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Five thousand dele
gates, representing the engineers, iremen
and switchmen Of all the roads leading
to Chicago, held a meeting this afternoon
to discuss the strike situation. General
Manager jeffrey of the Illinois Central
made a speech, at the conclusion of which
it was resolved that the men Of each road
be allowed to use their own judgment on
all questions growing out of the strike.
This was considered a virtual endorse
ment Of the Michigan Central mems ac-
ton in returning to work today. Tele-
grams passed today between the Fort
Wayne strikers and Supt. McCrea, which
promised a speedy termination Of the
troubles on that road.

One OF the attractive fancies II the past
emo or two seasons has been the Furnish
ing Of little Illustrated cards to guests &c
dlaner parties, which are intended 70 serve
as pleasing mementoes OF the occasion
Sometimes, In the case Of very important
social occasions, those souvenirs are very
elaborate, and it was regarded as very
swell when they consisted Inland painted
palettes, menus and the like
The manufacture of cards for this pur-
pose has now become q regular trades and
they are frequently 50 elaborate and taste
full in design and SO neat In execution that
they viii answer for occasions for which
In former seasons II was necessary TO pre-
pare a full set Of cards to order. Another
thing, they can be obtained at q very rea
sonable price, and thus a considerable OBJ
stacle ia the form OF expense IL overcome.
They are not made by machine on print
ing process, but the illustration which the
heavy cardboard bears Is drawn BY a slili-
full artist either In pen and ink represents
ing ome humorous or coraical portrait or
scene, or in delicate water cOlors, repre-
senting q little landscape. No two Of
these are made alike now BY the best
manufacturer, for il is not difiicult for q
skillful artist to vary them indefinitely
bat when they come into general use it
not improbable that very cheap assort-
ments viii be placed on the market, and,
in order to make these, lithographing and
printing will have to be called into reQui~
sition.-New York Evening World.

WAsHINGToN, April 3.--In the senate
the resolutions heretofore offered by Mr..
R~iddleberger, to suspend so much of the
rules as provide for executive sessions
during the fisheries treaty, was taken up.
He called for the yeas and nays on agree
ing to the resolution.
Mr.. Edmunds said that as the question
was on agreeing to the resolution, he de-
sired to submit some observations to the
senate, which he did not care to submit
to her majesty's ministers just at present.
He therefore moved that the gallery be
cleared and the doors closed.
The motion was agreedto and the order
at / o'clock was executed.
The senate at 5 :30,after two hours spent
in secret Legislative session, opened It's
doors.
Senators Edmunis and Hoar made a
strong fight against Riddleberger's reso-
luton which was ordered 70 be referred
to the committee on foreign relations,
only eight senators voting in the mega
tive.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the bond bill. A vote was taken on
Mr.. Palmer's motion to recommit the
bond purchase bill, and the motion was
rejected-nays 90, yeas 81.
MI. SpooDer offered as a sub
stitute for the whole bill the
following: That the section Of the act
making appropriations for the sundry
civil expenses of the government for the
year ending June 80, 1882, in these words,
HThat the secretary of the treasury may
at any time apply the surplus money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated or
so much thereof as he may consider prop
er, for the purchase of redemption OF
United States bonds, provided that the
bonds so purchased shall constitute no
part Of the sinking fund but shall be can
celled,n was intended TO be a permanent
provision of the law and the same is here
by declared to have been since its enact
ment and 70 he now in full force and
effect.
The substitute was agreed to without a
division.
Mr.. Beck then offered an amendment
as an additional section, providing
that whenever vno circulation on
any portion thereof of any bank
notes IN liquidation shall be surrendered
and shall not be taken by other national
banks, the secretary Of the treasury shall
purchase at the market price an equiya-
lent amount of silver bullion in excess OF
the minimum monthly silver coinage, which
shall be coined and used as provided for
in the silver coinage bill Of the 28th 81
February, 1878.
Mr.. Stewart proposed an addition to the
amendment, and Mr., Beck accepted It
providing that nothing in the act shall al
ter or repeal the silver coinage act Of
1878.
Mr.. sherman approved fully Of the
substitute as agreed on and thought it an
improvement on the house bill.
AT this stage of the discussion and with
out action on the amendment offered By
Mr.. Beck and with the substitute for the
bill still to be reported from the commit
tee Of the whole, the senate adjourned.

Every part OF the despised dress coat
has a reason for its popularity Of shape.

junction Of the collar and facings on each
side dates from the time when men rode q

on each side Of the collar to permit this
to be done, and the present useless

year 100 II began tc be the custom %

of the period. This was done 81 two
buttons sown on over the hips, which
were attached to loops set on at the edge
of the coat. Then, as waists became i

and the buttons, insfclsu u bStHsfasA-

PARIS, April 3.--In the chamber Of dep
uties this morning Nj. Fioquet read 4
statement setting forth the policy that
would be pursued by his cabinet. He APP
pealed to the Tunited republican sections
for their support and asked them to leave
to the government the question Of the re-
vision Of the constitution. Tbs question
Of the revision demands calm reflection.
Those members Of the cabinet who are
the warmest advocates of revision would
not wish that a work Of this Importance, a
work that Is destined 10 q place In our POI
Iitical organization In complete harmony
with republican principles, should be be-
gun under conditions that would endan-
ger the attainment OF the end In view.
The new organization of the National
forces will enable US to secure the respect
that is due 70 France and TO guarantee
the peace which we are sincerely DESTROYS
of preserving. We shall thus prepare at
home and abroad under favorable condi-
tons for the solemn celebration in 1889 Of
the centennial of the revolution. AT the
close of M. Floquet's speech the chamber
adjourned but consequently ~reconyened
to elect a president of the chamber. The
first ballot was: Brisson 1856, Clemenceau
