sistants w. A. Gambler of North
Georgia, Mnson of Alabama and Taggard

The rules of the last conference we're
adopted after considerable argument.
DR.. John Matthews then delivered a
cordial address of welcome which was
felicitously responded to by Bishop
Keener. The regular bishops address
was then read by Bishop A. w. Wilson,
of Baltimore, and recess was taken.
The pastoral letter read only once in
four years, WAS presented by Bishop
Wilson of Baltimore. Among the inter-
esting features of the letter are refer
ences to the growth of the
church, the satisfactory condition
OF foreign missions, church ex-
tension, Christian education, Sunday
school work and Christian literature.
The letter shows that four years ago
there were reported in the general min
utes 440G travelling preachers, of which
number 1885 were effective. The report
Of the last year shows 1852, OF which
1895 are effective, an increase
OF 45G In the itinerate ranks.
The local ministry has grown in the
same period from 5943 to G269, an addi-
tlon of 32G. There were, according to
the minutes of 1885, $50, 64j members.
The last returns give ,lGG ,0l9. an in
crease of 1876, 1874. The whole number of
preachers and members at present is
estimated Is .l77, $50, an addition to
the force in four years OF lSG, l56.

lovers of scandal have put it, Ito

in which 1t is understood his wife
he turned against him. There is no hope
even that he will over again return to
New York. His condition Is critical.
Cablegrams received within the last few
days, bring such news as to cause most
serious alarm to his friends, and TO pre-
Guide hope of possible recovery. II has
been known to Mr.. Crecker's friends for
some time that he is a very sick man.
The probabilities are he will not live
three weeks His trouble is in many re-
spects similar to that which killed John

HOUSE


WASHINGTON, May 7.-MoKinley of
Ohio moved to go into committee of the
whole for consideration of the tariff bill.
In making this motion Mckinley stated
he would endeavor to close the general
debate. The committee on ways and
means had intended to ask the committee
on rules TO report resolution limiting
the five minute debate to eight days, but
had not done so on account of the absence
of Mr.. Carlisle.
Mills of Texas thought the time al
lowed for the general debate was entirely
too limited. Two years ago the Demo-
orsts had conceded twentY-three days
general debate. All he could do was to
demonstrate against the short time which
was to be allowed.
Mr.. McKinley's motion was agreed to
without divisionY. and accordingly the
house went into committed of the
whole, Mr.. Payson of Illinois in the
chair, for consid GRAFTON of the tariff bill.
On motion of Mr.. Mills, the-c0mmfttee
granted to Sir Mckinley he privilege of
speaking without Limitation of time, and
similar courtesy was accorded to Mr..
Mills on motion of Mr.. Mckinley.
MIR. Mckinley took the floor in support
of the bill. He said in the last
political campaign the tariff had been
the absorbing question before the peo-
pie. 1t seemed to him tha5 no
extended discussion of this great princi-
pie was expected, or required, or neees-
sary under the existing conditions. If
any one thing was settled by the political
contest of 1888, it was that the project
i've policy as promulgated by the Repub-
lican party in their platform, as MAIN
tanned by the Republican party though q
long series of years, should be secured
in any legislation which was to
be had by a congress, chosen in this
great contest, and on this mastering
issue. He interpreted the victory to
mean, he interpreted the majority IN
this house to mean, he Interpreted the
incumbenoy of the presidency of the
United States by the present chief ex-
ecutive to mean, that e revision of the
tariff was demanded by the people and
that revision should be along the line
and in full recognition of the principle
and purpose of protection. Appliance.
At the evening session the tariff debate
was resumed. Mr.. O'Donnell of Chi
cago spoke strongly in favor of the sugar
section.
Post of Illinois, favored the bill and
took occasion to speak OF the free COIN
age of silver.
Messrs. Stewart of Georgia and Ellis
of Kentucky opposed the bill. The
house then adjourned.
