land aroused unboiinded enthusiasm.
The delegates rose in their seats,
cheered and threw up their hats, and
when it subsidized three cheers were
called for and given Justify to the ex.
President. But the echo had not died
away when Hill man called for three
cheers for the ex-governor Of New York.

Hartford: Carlos French, OF Seymour;
James D. Shannon, OF Norwich, and f.
C. Benedict. OF Greenwich.

ucd. Major S. n. Clark. one of the cor
respondents OF the New York Tribune,
testified that soon after the completed
files order was issued he had m inter-
view with Commissioner Raum in rel
crcnco to articles published in u New
Iorl, papor attacking Commissioner
Raum's administration. One of the
charges was that George Z. Lemon had
endorsed note for the Commissioners.
Tho commissioner said there was not 4
word OF truth in the article.
Free iron ore, and free refined sugars

The property consists of between
1000 and 5000 acres OF land. and the
price paid was Sll5,0O0. There are six

have an aggregate production OF about
800 barrels day. The leases are all

mcnt was occasionod here by Il fire that
was raging in pine forest near the
city. Tho powder magazine, in which
was stored a large quantity OF explo-
siyos, was in close proximity TO the for
est, and it was feared that the intense
heat OF the burning trees or the sparks
that were blown hither and thither by
the wind, would cause an explosion, the
effects OF which would have been dis.
asterous. The townspeople turned out
in force to assist the tiremen, and their
experience in fighting previous forest
fires in the vicinity OF Bordeaux stood
them in good stead. Back fires were
started, and this prevented the flames
from reaching too close to the maya.
zine, and finally the fire burned itself
out. Five hundred acres OF valuable
timber land was burned over.

TIE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The report OF the committee on con-
stitution was considered by paragraphs,
DR.. Nceley taking the floor TO explain
the first section. The first declaration
was til at the first three sections oi the
present discipline are unconstitutional.
This is combatted, rs it is held that this
would compel all acts OF the general
conference 10 be reviewed by tho annual
conference.
DR.. ]. NJ. Buckley held that the re-
strictive rules were not all that be-
longed to the constitution. II that were
the case the general conference could
annihilate it by 4 majority Of one. But
the serious dangers 10 which. other
speakers had referred, relating to the
rights OF laymen to sit in the confer
ence, did not exist. Their rights were
secure, even il they had been admitted
by constitutional amendment. The re.
strictirc rules guaranteed them their
seats in the conference.
Mr.. Field, OF Philadelphia, the first
laymen c 10 speak on the subject,
thcn took the floor. He said that the
constitution commission had kept its
work wonderfully secret. They had re-.
tired to the classic, shades of
.Chautauqua and then to the moro oniet
shades OF ofIndianapolis, and finally they
had come before the conference with n
prodigious big black book that looked
like tho ark OF .,thc, covenant Tgreat
lauGhtcrl and wanted tho conference to
mako these radical changes in the con-
stitntion without sufficient time for
consideration. Mr.. Field, therefore.
moved that tho whole discussion of
changes in the constitution be post
poned until the next general conference.
His motion was put and,&losl Ad-

This years Derby was an unusually inter-
esting one. In the first place It was the only
pleasant day in three weeks. and in tho
next an outsider won. 1t Is estimated
that 100000 people were on Epson
Downs. and among these wero hundreds
OF Americans. Brent Good took down
a coach that carried John Bird OF New York.
Hugh McQuaid and Prof. Churchill OF Mon

is instructive to students OF tho ethics OF tho
English turf He won II race handsomely as q
two-year- old. but in both his races this season
he ran like common platter" 10 never
showed to advantage in the Two Thousand or
at Newmarket. yet u few days later. In the
Derby. he decisivoly beat dozen horses who
had oven moro decisively beaten him.
Lord Bradford rather gives himself away
when he says he knew his horse would run
well. Yet no ono here dares to shy that tho
horse was run dark" to hoodwink tho sport
ing public. The British libel law is too
strong"
Another queer piece OF work was that OF the
EPSON Grand Prize for which Curio was made
favorite. Ho was defeated. however. with the
utmost ease by The Lover. horse he had pre-
viously beaten In Q canter.
The English racing this season has conclu-
sively proved that the horses OF the year are
poor lot. Bricentaure's forward running In
the Derby goes to show that the French three
year-olds are superior to tho English. and
some English owners will probably think twice
before sending their horses to compete for
the French grand prize next week Sunday
Some apologists account for tho defeat OF
La Fleche in the Derby by the fact that she
was upset BY the long delay and breaks away
at the post. The general opinion. however. is
that she was beaten on her merits. Proba-
bly, she has gone Off somewhat fince

She defeated The Smew with the utmost ease

though The Smew would win. As It was. La
