THE BOARD OF BISHOPS.

They Endorse the Proposed National Moth
otlist University.
NEW YoRx, May 13.-The board Of bish-
ops of the Methodist Episcopal chnrch
closed its session to-day. Assignments to
fall conferences we're made and Bishop F.
Newman appointed to visit Japan and hold
conference there in July. Regarding the
proposed establishment Of = national uni
versity in Washington, resolutions were
adopted commencing the project. The res
olutions add: TT is our judgment that an
endowment Of at least $2,O00. 900 and suita-
BILE buildings in addition should be pro-
cured before the proposed university be put
in operation. In view of the local
demand in all parts of the coun-
try tor the emergent. needs of al.
ready existing institutions we must
look chiefly for the proper endowment OF
the proposed national university to our
friends to whom God has entrusted large
wealth. who may, by the gift OF tens of
thousands, or even million of dollars, for
ward this great and noble enterprise. To
such we earnestly commend the proposed
university and its object, praying that God
may open their hearts to the magnificent
opportunity which 10 offered to them OF do
ing what their less favored brothers cannot
do, of adding their names on the scroll OF
those who have been able to do great things
for their country and their race.

oGDEN's COMING CARNIVAL.

The Contract Has Be0n Let xor the 1m-
mense Palace.
OGDEN, Utah, May 13.-The contract for
the carnival palace has been let. It will be
1873 by 314 feet, and 6b feet high. It will
furnish dancing room for 1000 couples, and
seating capacity, in addition to this, for
10000 more. Work ON the immense build
ing will begin early next week and be COM
pleted by June 15. It is expected
that this room will be filled several times
over by the immense concourse that will be
present during carnival week.
Colonel Hays, who has had charge of
similar organizations in the east, has been
placed in charge of the entire force and is
now informing and drilling knights and
other marching troops. A chorus of 200
singers is now drilling for the occasion and
the music of the carnival will itself be-
city will each be represent ID in the pageants
and appear in full uniform. Several noted
bands from the various cities OF the west
will attend.
The decorations of the city will be under
the control of a special committee, which
will make it its business to make the city q
blaze of splendor, while the streets will be
arched at numerous places with gay bunting
and flowers. It is difficult for those who
have not been within the circles of the or
ganization and know the extent and variety
of preparations being made and the
vast thousands that are being expended. to
realize the magnitude of the carnival which
Ogden will present to the world the first
week in July. The one item of illuminated
mountains surrounding Ogden on the night
of July 4, with fires, red lights and charac-
ter illumination, will cost several thousand
dollars and afford spectacular scene never
witnessed in America. The costumes to be
worn by knights and other marching forces,
numbering about 400, cost from $50 to $OO
each, and are as fine as gay eolers and
costly fabric can make them.

Ben. Butterworth Sharply Criticises
Some Features of the Mckinley
Tariff Bill.
sixty Millions Of Dividends Reaped
from One Million OF
Capital
Tho Farmers Hardly Doing Proportion
ately Well-Jones, of Arkansas Speaks
Against the Silver Bill.

WAsHNaroN, May 13.-The house went
into committee of the whole on the tariff
bill. McMillin, of Tennessee, moved to re-
duce the duty on ammonia. There was no
reason why an article of necessity to the
ley, of Ohio, opposed the amendment.
Since the tariff encouraged competition in
this country the price of ammonia had been
reduced from 20 to IN cents per pound.
Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio, said that if
there was any danger to the protective sys-
tenn it was in the oscillation between the
extreme of free trade and the extreme
which created inequalities among Ameri-
cans themselves. Competition never ore-
ated new industry. They were created
by work, brain and by inventors. The
committee tried to do the best it could
in framing the bill but it was not safe to
rely altogether upon the testimony of ben
eficiaries under the law. [Applause on the
democratic side]. Of course he respected
the wisdom of the committee. But why
was Paul favored and Peter turned down?
He could name capitalists whose profits ex-
ceeded those of all the agriculturists in any
state in the union. Applause on demo
cratic sidel. He was not, he said, dis
turbed by the applause on the other side.
He was exceedingly grateful that they be-
gan to realize in any sense that our coun-
trymen deserved protection. There were
some things in the bill he did not like. He
had known an industry that had been able
to make sec, 900 dividends on a capital
of 81, SOC, 600. He favored proper protection,
but these men held the world in their grasp.
When he said he didn't favor that kind
of protection he was told, "You are not
sound on the tariff" The time had come
when some little concern should be shown
American homes and American firesides.
He did not believe it wise or prudent to
make such sweeping reduction in sugar,
to be supplanted by bounty. What he
wanted to avoid was paying too much fol
an industry, and such was the case with the
tin plate duty, which would amount to
fifty million dollars before the manufac-
turers of tin plate could declare dividend
He was anxious that his party should not
take false step. He did not expect to par
ticipate much in the deliberations of the
house hereafter. He was quite as ready tt
20 out as his democratic friend were anx-
ious to get rid of him, when they gerry
wandered him out. He was already out be
fore they took that action.
I McMillin's amendment was rejected.
O'Ferrall read list of what he singled
out as excessive duties, laying stress on tn,
duty on ready made clothing, which he hele
was in the interest of Postmaster-G Genera
Wanamaker. "You tickle me and viii
tickle you; you legislate i'll my favor ant
I will put up campaign funds" That wa
the explanation of many of these higl
duties.

Tired Of Work.

CHICAGO, May 12-In short time an
effort will be made to secure the release
from the penitentiary of the convicted an
archists, Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, by an
application to Judge Graham. of the circuit
court for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that the prisoners are detained with
out due process of law. General Butler,
associate counsel, feels sure of success. The
anarchists lawyers say the writ will be
asked for on the ground that after the sem
tence was passed upon the condemned men
the case was appealed to the supreme court,
where the finding of the lower court was
affirmed. The prisoners were then taken
before the supreme court to hear the affirm
alton of their sentence. The claim is made
that this was breach of their constitution
al rights.

VIII Not Agree.

with the unanimous concurrence OF the
other members of the senate pensions COM
mittee, to-day submitted report recon-
mending that the senate do not agree to the
amendments made by the house to the sem
ate dependent pension bill. The senators
announce discrimination not to agree to
the house bill under any conditions. The
bill as it passed the senate was dependent
pension measure. identical to that vetoed
by Cleveland. The house amended the bill
by passing as substitute the Morrill, bill.
which is both q dependent and service PEN
sion bill.

mittee that 1t is the duty of the govern
ment, before entering upon any other pen.
disabled and dependent soldiers in the most
liberal manner possible. The senate bill
was framed upon this theory that the SER
vice pension is a matter which should not
be involved with the disability bill. The
estimates prepared by the adjutant gen
cost of the service pension, upon basis as 50 OF
63 years as the age limit, will be 81, 1s2, ,O95,

estimate is materially greater than the
estimate of the house committee. but the
senate committee adopted them because
| based on valid reasons and because expert
ence had shown that pension estimates
heretofore had invariably fallen below the
actual cost. It is the committees opinion
that whenever it is deemed wise to inaugur-
| ate u system of service pensions it should
| be done for the benefit of all living soldiers
who were honorablv discharged, and that
| the rate of the pension should be graded ac-
cording to length of service.
