A Little Breeze in the NJ. p. Conference
This Morning.

The report of the faculty of instruction
was again taken up by items at the opening
of the fifth days session of the Methodist
Protestant conference this morning at the
Congress Street Church, Georgetown. The
report, with the exception of item 8, was
adopted.
The consideration of the Church Home be-
Ing the order OF the day for 10 am, the re-
port of the committee was read and the
matter discussed. A resolution was next
offered by F. T. Fagg to continue the COM
mittee appointed by the last conference. CIV
ing it authority to raise funds for the build
ing of the home. II was adopted 1t was
then moved to increase the membership of
the committee to seven, and the names OF
the president of the conference and the edi-
tor of the Methodist Protestant were added.
The resolution was adopted a whole.
Considerable amusement was occasioned
by the calling to task of a number of
ministers who failed to present the new
copies of the church discipline, as is re-
quired. The conference made no pro-
vision for paying for the pamphlets, and it
therefore devolved upon the pastors to
make payment from personal funds. Rev.
J. b. Jones of Cecil county, one of the
delinquents, made a speech, during which
he detied the authority of the conference
to compel him to do anything he did not
care to do.
De. D. A. Foard of this city replied that
Mr.. jones should be shown that the con-
ference has control over the action of its
members. Considers BILE discussion from
others on the subject also ensued. Finally
on motion of ]. T. Murray, the name of
Mr.. jones was removed from the list of
delinqUents, although the gentleman af-
fected unsecularly remarked that he would
be hanged before he would agIee to such
action"
The names of G. W. Haddaway and ]. E.
Maloy were likewise removed, when mo-
ton to lay the report and the resolution on
the table was made and adopted
Reading by ]. l.. Mills of the report
of the trustees of the conference followed
and it adopted.

Japan's Emperor's silver Wedding.

People who believe that Japan is still a
sem-civilized country would be speedily
undeceived by reading a recent report made
to the State Department by United Stats
Minister Dun at Toxic. The minister gives
an account of the silver wedding of the en-
peror on March u last, and according 10
the description. the magnificent yet refined
style of the ceremonies would be creditable
to any European court A notable feature
Of the entertainment was the rendition of
music composed 1900 years ago, and dances
adapted to II at that time by Prince Otsuui.
The guests received, as souvenirs, silver
statues of storks, and in strong contrast
with the olden customs, the emperor threw
aside all reserve, and conversed cordially
with individual members of the diplomatic
body.

A Possible Candidate.

There is possibility that Gen. Canevaro,
the Peruvian minister at Washington, may
be the next president or vice president of
Peru. He left here yesterday for Lima in
answer to summons to consult with the
leaders OF his party as to their candidates
for president and vice president. The cleo
ton of Gen. Canevaro as vice president
would not interfere with his diplomatic du-
ties in this city. His election as president
would, however, necessitate the appoint
ment of a new minister.
