In business. The law already makes such
provision in behalf of banks LIQUID
ating and retiring from the
trade and their shareholdars
and in Mr.. Sherman's Judgment the
omission of others was merely the result
of an oversight. Funds lodged by banks
with the treasurer as strictly trust funds
until this omission is made good. A sec
ton providing for a new reserve fund
would, 1t is thought, insure a sufficient
sum being on hand in lawful money to
redeem thousands of dollars of sur
rendered bank notes which are daily of
fered at the treasury for redemption,
ana all excess of reasonable sum of
cash reserve for these redemp-
lions OF notes would be turned
into the general funds of the treasury for
bond purchases, etc.. In anticipation of
current income. "The first provision
OF the bill would, - says Mr.. Sherman,
reduce compulsory ownership of United
States bonds to a minimum requirement

of the United States to charter banks the
government being now in the market as
h:$iarge buyer of Its bonds. The
required ownership of bonds salabIe at
22 per cent. premium is erroneous upon
national banks. In the smaller towns,
where rates Of money are high because
the bank does not issue at 80 per cent. of
the deposits of such bonds, results in a
loss of interest on an idle go per. cent.

terest from bonds reduced by annual
sinking fund and further reduced by 10
per cent. annual tax on circulation.
Notes issued at par of the bonds, sale

annual profit of not more than Sl3 for
investment of Sl2 200 on q basis of per

actual loss of Sll year if per cent.

national banks in note issue, the senator
thinks they ought to be relieved of this
burden, the one feature of the system
which exciteS and continues granger an
tagonism to national banks.

SOUTHERN METHODIsTs.
Ninth Days Proceedings of Their Conference
in the City of st. Louis-Last Day
for New Business.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. 4, May 7.-To-da 8
session of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South, was
the last at which new business could be
introduced, and it was unusually dull.
The committee on fraternal correspond
ence, to whom was referred commune
cation asking the general conference to
appoint commissioners to meet commits
sioners to be appointed by the house of
bishops and house of deputies of the
Protestant Episcopal church conference
on organic union, etc., reported
recommending a non-oonference. The
committee held that the spirit of the
church had always been broad and
catholic. 1t welcomed to membership
all those who wished to be saved and re-
solved to lead a new life without regard
to race or color. That policy would
never be abandoned. AS for the or
ganic union with the memorialists,
the committee would regard it as an
unmixed evil. The Methodist Episcopal
church, South, had never divided from
any church, and the committee wanted
those who had made the division to make
overtures for a reunion. The report was
very tart in tone, and excited a COM
manding smile from bishops and dele
gates. The vote of the conference was
unanimous in favor OF the report.
A resolution COndemning Sunday news
papers was referred to the committee on
Sabbath.
Following were appointed as a COM
mittee to formulate declaration upon
worldly amusements: DR.. j J. FIgert,
chairman; Messrs. Rogers. Mays, White
head, Southgate. Wilson, Smart, Ry-
land, White, East, Brown, Miller,
Magee, Christian and Atkins.
Salaries of bishops were raised from
$1,000 to $500, the latter to include trav-
cling expenses.
DR.. S. Phillpot. L. B. Stone and
Horace Bishop, of Texas, submitted a
long preamble and resolution
against the use of tobacco and
opium by church members, and espe-
cially by travelling preachers, and asking
that the committee on the spiritual state
of the church be instructed to report
some suitable deliveranoe on the subject,
but the matter was quickly squelched by
indefinitely postponing it.
The proposition to devote a part
of the mission fund to aid the
Paine institute at Augusta, Ga. and
the Lane institute at jackson, Tenn,
both colored schools, was defeated by
decided majority

A Brilliant Wedding.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE residence
of the secretary of state, on LAFAYETTE
square near the White House, was the
scene of beautiful marriage ceremony
this afternoon, the contracting parties
being his daughter, Miss Margaret Isa-
bella Blaine, and Mr.. Walter Damrosch
of New York. The weather was
bright and fair, and the sun beamed
down congratulations from cloudless
sky. In view of the bereavement of the
past winter it was intended 90 have the
marriage conducted as quietly as posi-
BILE, but the best efforts of the
family in this direction were COM
paratively futile against the wishes
of influential friends, and the ceremonies
we're attended by brilliancy and dis
play that was not contemplated. The
ceremony took place at l 'clock il q
large drawing room on the second floor,
and was performed by Rev. DR.. Doug
lass, rector of St. Johns Protestant
Episcopal church, of which the bride has
recently became member. The decora-
tions were beautiful in their simplicity.
The room is finished in olive tints, and the
ornamentations consisted OF tasteful dis
tributIon of growing plants and palms. A
bower of white flowers was erected
near one of the mantels and formed q
back ground for the principals. When
all was in readiness Secretary Blame
escorted his daughter 10 the place
selected and was Immediately followed
by the groom and his best man,
Mr.. J. Frank Roosevelt of New
York. While there were no
bridesmaids properly speaking, the
bride was supported by the close pres
ence of her sister, Miss Blaine, Miss Ma
combe, daughter OF the late general,
Miss Rachel Sherman, daughter of Gen.
Sherman. Members of both families
also took positions near the front. There
were about 800 friends in attendance,
including President and Mrs. Harrison,
Mrs. Mckee, cabinet officers and ladies
or their families and members of the SUI
preme court, the entire diplomatic
corps, many members of congress and
and other Representatives of officials at
the capital.
The bridal toilet was q heavy white
silk, draped in front with embroidered
crepe de chene, with tulle veil.
When the marriage service was over
the president advanced and offered his
CONGRATULATIONS to the bride, and his ex-
ample was followed by AL the other
guests. This over the entire company

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Now that
Carlisle has been nominated for senator
his party associates are already discuss
ing his successor on committees and as
leader of the Democrats in the house.
Carlisle had fulfilled mis- mission in the
lower branch of congress, and in the
natural course of events should ad-
vance to other fields if his politi-
cal star is not to become
stationary, as did that of Cox
and of Randall, and will DE much more
congenial for Carlisle IN the senate in
that more conservative and tradition
ally" more decorous body where, with q
few individual exceptions, statesmen
conduct their contests with show of def
erenoe and polite form. Carlisle's
qualities will appear to better advantage
and he will probably stand as promi-
nentiy at the head of his party there as
in the house,. When he goes to the senate
it will be to succeed the ablest nan
the Democrats have had in that body
for years, and he Is probably
better qualified than any one else ito ill
the place. Carlisle's place of leadership
IN. the house will probably be taken by
Wilson of West Virginia, or Brecken-
ridge of Arkansas. Wilson, like Car
Isle, is a man of fine ability, but lack
ing in egotism. He has many Of the
qualities WHICH are conspicuous in But
terworth-quick wit, ready and eloquent
speech and amiable 'perslstency in
