man presided yesterday in the Metho-
dist Episcopal general conference. The
committee on itineracy returned
. report recommending the abolition
of the five-years limit on tho
appointment Of pastors The re-
port favored the idea Of per-
hitting bishops to appoint pastors

place which the ministers had been as
signed the year previous. AS the
church law has stood for many years .
pastor could not remain at one place
longer than five years in succession.
The report was made special order
for 10 o'clock Wednesday.
The committee on the state of the
church brought in a report that fairly
bristled with denunciation of "th .
outrages practiced upon the colored
race in the South" 1t called upon
the govern ment, the state officials, the
Methodist Episcopal church and all
good citizens to arise and abUl-
ish the indignities and outrages
that are put upon the colored peo-
pie. 1t declared that the colored peo-
pie were treated shamefully in every
way. The resolution stirred up tre-
mendous enthusiasm. DIR. Queal. DR..
Payne and others made vehement
speeches calling upon the church to
stand firmly for the rights of the col.
ored race. The report was adopted by
rising vote, every delegate in
the conference rising to his feet
The election of the agents for the
book concern at New York was then
taken up. DIR. Myley nominated DIR.
Sanford Hunt and DIR. Homer Eaton.

Penn berton, DIR. J. ID. Hammond, DIR. L.
A. Bell, Samuel Dickie and Samuel II.
High. The whole number of ballots
cast was 40. DIR. Cranston received 400
votes and was the only man elected on
the first ballot. The other ballots
were: Halstead All, Bell AZ, Curtis las,
Dickie 90, Hammond "a and the rest
were scattering. Mr.. Knox, a colored
man from Kentucky. got one vote.
DIR. J. r. Hammond was the other col
ored man in the race. DIR. CranstOn
was declared elected and second bal
lot was ordered to elect the second
agent.
DIR. Curtis was elected second agent
for the book concern at Cincinnati.
The committee on church extension
reported in favor of encouraging the
study of church architecture. The re-
port also recommended that the
chu riches best suited for worship were
those built all on one floor.
Then came the election of three
secretaries for the missionary society.
The nominations were: DIR. Z. Ii.

WELLINGTON, May ia terrific
hurricane has passed over central New
Zealand and the damage done is enor-
nous. Long before the hurricane
broke the barometer gave warning of
ats coming, but very little could be
done to protect property from its fury.
Suddenly, far out at sea could be
seen a dark cloud resting upon the
waters and rapidly approaching the

mess permeated the atmosphere. Nearer
and nearer approached the swiftly
coursing messenger of destruction, and
then, with howl, the gale burst in all
its furry.
With a sudden roar the waters which
had led the gale burst with thunder
ing crash upon the shores. Gigantic
trees swayed almost to the ground be-
meath the force OF the wind and then
when they could stand the strain no
longer, snapped like dried twigs in the
hands of a strong man.
Thousands of wild birds, helpless and
frightened, were blown out to sea,
there to perish. Hour after hour passed
and there was no abatement in the
hurricanes terrible energy. Mutter-
ing and roaring and anon wailing
and shrieking the winds wreaked their
destruction.
At sea the scene defied description.
The vessels in the ofiing which before
the gale could be seen lying under
storm sails, were soon lost to view in
the swift flying cloud rack. After the
storm passed it was found that many
coast vessels had been piled up on the
shores and it is believed that the Joss

Reports from all parts of the country

FRANCE ON HER FEET.
-EAA Bismarckian Policy No Longer Pcs
Sible with the PoweFful Republic.

- bGmarchAn Policy No Longer Pee.
Sible with the Powerful Republic.
Some years ago. Ia the time of the
old emperor. Bismarck Is said to have
held that it was She duty of Germany to
herself, completely equipped as she
was, with firm alliances, while the
French were not fully armed and had
no allies, to linda pretext for a quarrel
and crush France, taking care to inflict
disabilities that would prevent her tax
ing rank again with the foremost ma
tions, writes Murat Halstead in the Cos
uopolitan. His idea was that tie
French were implacable, and each GEN
Grafton Of them had to have q war with
Germany. He wanted, therefore, to
hasten the inevitable. 1t is too late to
adopt this policy now, for France is on
her feet, restored to the front rank,
ready with q greater army than she ever
put IN the field, and assured OF the
friendship of Russia. The German en-
peror is called to observe the growth of
socialism, which springs up as popu-
lor nntidote for the utilitarism that has
been almost omnipotent in Germany.
This socialism does not seem to be NOR
bid. 1t is a natural form of protest
N6,1AAoN a governing hl1oCOCIdCy duu d
devouring army. Now tho leaders of
the social movement are SO strong they
can afford moderation, and their
speeches are not the shrieks of assas-
sins, but show the calm consideration
Of most weighty and urgent affairs.
1t seems to the socialists that there
ought to be some way found of settling
the hlsace and Lorraine question with
out war, which however it might re-
suit, would mean the slaughter of hun
dreds of thousands of poor men; and
one speaker was SO bold as to say,
few weeks ago, that in twenty years
the German people would have no need
for royalties and imperialists. This
may be incendiary from the point of
view of the occupants of thrones, but it
is not irrational. 1t has been held by
many Representatives of imperialism
that blood letting was the sovereign
remedy for social disorder.
The success of the Russian loan in
France and the failure to place any of
it in Germany has drawn the French
and Russians closer together. Happily
this may make for peace, for their
united strength is so great Germany
will hardly care to challenge the hostil-
ity of SO portcntous a combination. In
this, indeed, is the only chance for the
preservation of the armed truce that
prevails.

AN UNLUCKY SEAT.
The Eventful History OF the Senatorial
Position Held by IIumb.

Position Held by 1Iumb.
The seat or senatorship held by
Plumb, says the Troy (lan.) Chief,
was the one originally held by Gen.
Lane. The other senutorship has had
but three incumbents in thirty years
Pomeroy, Ingalls, and PETER. There
seems to have been fate attached to
the place now vacant. Gen: Lane was
one of the first two senators-elect in
Kansas. In the drawing he drew the
short term. Before the expiration of
his term Gov. Carney was elected to the
place; but it caused such a row that
Carney was compelled to renounce the
position, and it killed him politically.
Lane was reelected, but committed sui
eide little more than a year after en-
tering upon his second term in order to
avoid exposure of dishonest practices
as an officer of the government.
E. G. Ross was appointed to fill the
vacancy and was elected by the en-
suing legislature. He betrayed his con-
st:tuonjs in the johnson impeachment
case, and for more than twenty years,
although still living, he as'been deader
than Plumb will be twenty years from
now. Alexander Caldwell was elected
to succeed him, but through the in
strumentality of defeated candidates an
investigation was gotten up over al
legged corruption In the election and
Caldwell closed the matter by resign
ing. Robert Crozier, Of Lenvenworth,
was appointed to the vacancy, but held
the place only until the meeting of the
next legislature. Then Gov. Harvey
was elected for the remainder of tho
term, but proved a complete failure
and cut no figure in the next election.
Plumb was chosen to succeed him, and
was in his third term when he was
suddenly stricken down, leaving the
place vacant, to be filled by appoint
mcnt for the third time. Thus that
scat has been vacated twice by sudden
or violent deaths, has had two flashes
In the pan, one disgrace and one nom
entity.

GREAT LAWYERS OF THE
SENATE.


The great lawyers OF the Senate are
no longer on the Republican side of
tho chamber. "Grandma" Hoar is
easily first of the jurists Of that side,
and he is scarce knee high to such
lawyers as Carlisle, Gray, Morgan and
George on the Democratic side. A
few years ago the Republicans had
Edmunds aud Carpenter and Cork+
ling and Ben Harrison, and was able
to count these against the Demo
cratic side, on which sat Thurman
and Mcdonald aud Hill and Lamar.
When Thurman left the Senate and
Hill died and Lamar was promoted to
the Supreme Bench other great legal
luminarie 8 stepped into their places.
Not so with the other side, which will
miss Edmunds and Evarts and
Spooner this session. 1t is the fashion
to say that lawyers are made, not
born; that there is no royal road to
distinction in the profession, but the
lawyer is born Just the same as the
