New YORK, March IA special from
the City of Mexico says: Engineer
surveying the line of the Mexican
Pacific Railway, in the district of Tonala
State of Chiapas, have found two
mountains which are almost solid masses
OF iron ore, carrying go to GA per cent. Of
metallic iron. 1t is estimated that the
amount of ore in sight is two hundred
million tons. The iron lie said to be well
adapted to making steel, being quite free
from sulphur and phosphorus. The
same company which is surveying and
building this line from Tonala on the
Pacific to Frontiera on the Gulf of Mex
leo, has also surveyed and is preparing to
build line along the entire coast of the
State OF Chiapas. 1t is believed that
this line will form in the future railroad
from the City of Mexico to the isthmus
of Panama. Great amounts of railroad
material for the construction of the Mex
ican Pacific road are being regularly re-.
ceived from England.

THE ALASKA SURVEY.

Congress has acted wisely in appropriate
ing 100000 for survey of Alaska, to be
undertaken by officers of the army. That
territory has been twenty-three years in
American possession. 1t is time that we
learned more about it than we now know.
To few whalers and few owners of sal
homecoming establishments the resources
of this vast section of the continent are par
TALLY known; an occasional traveller has
described such portions of the coast as he
was able to reach; but the great mass of the
American people only know Alaska, as the
Russians knew it, as a wilderness of snow
and ice, utterly uninhabitable and irreclam-
able. 1t IS coming fashionable for San
FranciScans to visit the Territory in sum-
mer, but few Of them get beyond Sitka,
which is settlement on an island in the
inland sea of the far south. and does not
even belong to the great mainland which
forms the northwestern corner of North
America
1t is not probable that Alaska will ever
become popul3us. That the climate forbids.
But it is as habitable as many portions of
the tropics which are full of people, and as
Iceland or Patagonia, which sustain mod
crate population. 1t is known to contain in
copious abundance three articles which are
in demand everywhere furs and min
erals. Its area is greater than that of the
thirteen original States, and it contains
river which is one of the longest and broad

terror is an inaccessible region, excessively

The Conference Committee have agreed

WOMEN IN CHURCH MEETINGS.

In the coming month the members Of the
Methodist Church will vote whether it is
their opinion that women ought to be admit
ted to the General Conference. Two years
ago when the question was last agitated it
was decided adversely to the sex, but it was
resolved that the sense of the Methodist
laity should be taken on the subject aud
there was tacit understanding that the con-
ference would be guided by their opinion.
Whether women shall or shall not figure in
future conferences will therefore depend on
the vote of male Methodists next month.
The question is not free from difficulty.
There is principle and precedent on both
sides-of the controversy. The female mind
is quite as competent to grasp theological
questions as the male mind, and from some
points of view it is better adapted to assimi-
late the nice tenets of spiritual ethics. Re-
ligious forms appeal more stronsly7to women
than TO men, as is proved by the preponder-
ance of female worshipers in the churches.
If. as we are so often told, women are led by
their hearts and men by their Intellect, the
ology. which is based rather on feeling than
ON abstract reason, should be the especial
province of women, and the churches should
be under their control Faith, hope, love
aud charity, which are the corner-stones Oh

our religion, are essentially attributes OF the
gentler sex and appeal far more directly to
their sympathies than to the regard OF the
ruder and more practical sex.
In the early Christian Church women filed
ecclesiastical parts save the very highest.
They assisted in the administration OF the
eucharist. They served at the altar. They
baptized converts. They heard confessions.
They preached in churches. After time,
however, women were gradually excluded
from the affairs and reiegated to converts
from which males were excluded. But aO-
Bosses and canoneSses continued throughout
the middle ages to WELD authority scarcely
inferior to that Of male eccleSiastics OF equal
rank. Addresses attended ecclesiastical
councils aud took rank before the Presby-
tiers, and where a monastery had two depart
ments. one for monks and the other for nuns,
the abbess presided over the whole.
After the reformation it does not appear
that women filled ecclesiastical functions in
the Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian or
Huguenot churches; but when the primitive
Methodists seeded from the Wesleyan
Convention in the beginning of the century
men and women alike served as ministers.
The female Methodist exhorter is a familiar
character in English fiction; females quite
frequently preach and lead prayer at camp
meetings in this country.
The argument against the recognition Of the
equality of the sexes in church aSsemDlages
is that it is unseefnly for woman to raise
her voice in a meeting mainly composed of
men. This is an opinion which has pre-
vailed since the days of st. Paul, who babe
the Corinthians 10 require their women to
keep silence in the churches, for it is not
permitted to them to speak, This high
authority has not deferred refOrmers from
urging that the rule against women really
begs the question. Females are excluded
from church meetings, not because Of their
lack of intelligence or the lukewarmnesS OF
their piety, but because they are women.
When their fitness is pointed out it is denied
on the bare proposition that being women
they cannot be fit. Logic of that stamp can
not surely prevail forever. 1t must some
time occur to the eloquent diyines who
ill Methodist pulpits that if women
were excluded from churches as they
are from conferences the preachers would
preach to empty benches, for if, from the
select party of males who attend churches,
those who go to escort their wives or to see
amIabe friends were deducted the congre-
cation would be reduced to such small mum
beers that the preachers soul would be
numbad and his spirit chilled.
Controversies OF this kind are best adj
justed by imagining what evil results would
follow if the change sought were carried
into effect. Would the Methodist Confer
ence be less able to administer the affairs of
the church if it contained within it few
bright, earnest, pious women? If not it
would be better to admit them and end the
controversy
