THE CONFERENCES.

The one hundred and seventh annual
session of the Baltimore Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South
has closed its work. The session was
most notable for the extensive presenta-
ton of the correctional interest of the
church. There was an unusually large
number of changes in the appointments
as was expected.
The report of the board of education
shows that DR.. Smith of Randolph
Macon College is doing great work in
the way of advancing the educational
interest of the church.
DR.. Smith is man of practical ideas.
Gle has already taken the lead in the
South in the way of superior academic
draining in the establishment of Ran
'dolph- Macon Academy at Bedford City,
and the proposed establishment of a
similar institute in Front Royal.

Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Paunce-
forte Talking Them Over.
WASHINGTON, March Especial II
Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Paunce-
forte, the British minister, have had
quite a prolonged conference at the
State department. 1t is underst TODD
to have related to the proposed arbitra-
ton proceedings as to the Bering Sea
controversy. The preliminaries only,
it is said, were discussed, but it is be-
lieved that soon a satisfactory agree
ment will be reached so that the points
at issue may be submitted to an arbitra-
tor OF court of arbitrators. 1t has been
suggested that Russia shall be the arbi-
traitor. The Salisbury government,
however, it is stated is unwilling to sub
nit the case to the czar, being aprrehen-
sive that in such an event a decision
ayerse to John Bull would be returned
Switzerland has also been mentioned as
a possible compromise.
This question, however, remains yet
to be determined. In diplomatic circles
it is asserted that very recently Sir
Julian Pauncefote has transmitted to
Salisbury dispatches of very re-assur-
ing character relative to the Behring
Sea negotia tions. 1t is further stated
that these communications furnished
exceedingly good evidence that little or
no obstruction will be placed in the
way OF unconditional arbitration, and
that both America and England will
soon unite upon an international agree
ment for the protection of the seals.

THE PEACH CROP Is SAVED.
The Recent Cold Wave sBnclscns" the
Buds aud Insurcs n Yield.

The Recent Cold Wave Chickens the
Buds aud Insurcs Yield.
DOVER, Del, March 17.-[Special II
The cold wave which reached here early
Friday evening will prove good thing
for tho peach crop OF 1891. The four
or five sultry, wet days which preceded
this wavc warmed the ground up and
started the sap running in the trees.
1t was plain on Thursday that growers
were getting alarmed. They feared a
repetition of the experience of last year.
when sultry, soggy, wet spell sent tho
trees out in bloom in the beginning of
March, and then the frosts came along
and killed the buds
But this cold wave has driven the sap
back again, the buds are 'baclsencd''
for two weeks at least by it, and grow
ers are jubilant. If the buds can be
kept back till the end of March, there
is very little doubt then of successful
peach crop, and in fact n successful
fruit crop generally. a. H. Cahall,
Frank Temple and others, who watch
every point, said to-day that peaches of
all varieties SIRE safe. And as far as can
be predicted now, the outlook Is that
the crop OF 1891 will be immense.

to works of art, so European artists arc
in better position than authors. The
