DR.. Mclean moved that consideration of
the report be postponed to an adjourned
meeting of the conference, the date and
place to be fixed later.
Il would like 20 state" he said, "that
this matter relates to an exceedingly i'm
portant question in which the interests of
not only one man and one church but of
all Christian people and all denominations
are involved"
Hear hearp' came from delegate.
''IE would be impossible to do Justice
now to this report" continued DR.. Nc
Lean. 1--WE are here as guests and it
seems unmeet, therefore, that we should
take up consideration of the report at this
conference"
Il move that DIR. McLean's motion be
laid on the table" said ]. D. Foster of
Lorin. This was promptly seconded, and
the chair declared the motion debatabe.
81 believed it is not debatable," said DR..
Brown.
"Do you wish to appeal from the deci-
sion of the chair, DR.. Brown?' asked the
moderator.
81 believe it is not debatable, but want
to take advantage of the opportunity to
say word. II
"Then appeal from the decision OF the
chair, eagerly interrupted the Rev. Mr..
Hatch.
The chair was not sustained by vote of
81 TO 81, ana debate was declared not in
order. The motion TO lay on the table
was lost
This did not please Foster. ~ can't see
what possible good can be gained by re-
considering this matter" he protested.
The churches are sick and tired OF it, and
II the council, after spending a month,
ended in doing nothing it seems folly to
prolong this"
Dr. McLean's motion was carried and
the conference determined to ad iourn until
next Tuesday at $3.50 4. NJ. in Marke t.

HUSTLE FOR PREMIERSHIP.

BaIfour and Chamberlain Playing
Their Cards.
LONDON, June 13.-The great race
for the Premiership of England between
Arthur Balfour and Joseph Chamber
lain has become extremely interesting
to close observers. The rivalry between
these two statesmen has always been
keen, but the actual race commenced
when they became members of the same
cabinet. Chamberlain's opportunity
came with Jameson's raid into the
Transvaal, and he took it boldly. The
ground he then gained he has more
than maintained, and in the opinion of
expert politicians he is now too far
ahead for Balfour to catch up with him.
How great is the muddle into which
Balfour has got Parliamentary business
is sufficiently demonstrated by the fact
that despite the Government majority
of nearly $50 there is a legislative dead
lock in the Commons, and the Con-
servative leaders have been compelled
to resort to the desperate expedient of
summoning a melting of the rank and
file to talk over the situation.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-Rudolph
Spreckels has won a Supreme Court
victory in his suit against the Nevada
Bank relative to sending out of this
country stock given by him as security.
The Superior Court order dissolving
preliminary injunction was yesterday
reversed.
In 1894 G. a. Spreckels purchased of
Claus Spreckels Hawaiian bonds for
100000, pledging collateral securities
exceeding the amount of the debt. As
additional security, Rudolph Spreckels
pledged 5000 shares of the Paauhau
Plantation Company, valued at $780,
900, under agreement with Claus Spree
kles that it should not be transferred
out OF the owners name upon the COR
poratiOn books until after the maturity
of the debt. In December, 1894, Claus
Spreckels transferred and assigned the
debt and securities to the Nevada Bank
One-half of the debt was paid and one
half of the securities transferred to the
owners. The bank threatened to send
the stock certificates to Hawaii and
cause them to be transferred from the
owners name.
A preliminary injunction was dis
solved by the Superior Court and Ru-
dOlph Spreckels appealed. Justice Hen
shaw, in the opinion handed down yes
terday, said:
In the case of pledge, unless this
particular form of procedure be neces-
sary for his protection, it will not be
adjudged to be within his rights, for
the effect of it might be to imperil upon
the other hand valuable rights and
privileges of the pledgor. Thus, as here,
it would give rise to questions involv-
ing the right to vote the stock at cor
porate elections, questions as to who
should receive and retain dividends.
questions of the removal of the stock
to foreign jurisdictions, and the like.
1t is not the law of this State.
nor is it the law generally, that trans
fer upon the books of the corporation
is essential to the creation of a valid
pledge"

Pacific Fleet Command.

WASHINGTON, June I3.-It is re-
ported in naval circles that Rear Ad-
miral Ramsey, present chief of the Blu
reau of Navigation, and who retires
next spring, will take command of the
Pacific squadron in August, succeeding
Rear Admiral Beardslee, whose two
years sea duty expires in that month
Admiral Beardslee is said to be op-
posed to relinquishing his present bill
let and is making strenuous efforts to
retain it. Commodore Howell made ap-
plication some months ago for assign
ment to the Pacific squadron, but was
refused, which is taken as an indication
that 1T is reserved for some officer of
high rank.

College-Large Audience.
The st. Louis College Literary So

Torrance of Falsely Accused, or Wait

audience in constant merriment; in
fact, in his own words, there is moth
ing like it," Fred Weed as Lieutenant
Florville looked every inch a soldier,
and on two or three occasions grew
eloquent. C. H. Rose as old Jonathan
Roseblade was good, as were all who
took part.
The hall was decorated with works
of art in pencil and crayon, the years

part of the performance was, thanks to

TRAINING FOR BICYCLE RACES
An OId.timer's Condensed Manual
on the Subject.

An old-time trainer and racing man
has summed up the big books on train
ing, diet, etc., into the following con-
else and practical ideas on the sub
ject. ITO train for a bicycle race, ride
on track, if possible, or on a good
road. ten miles at reasonably good
rate, every day in the week, except
Sunday. Practice starts Monday, We'd
nesday and Saturday for about twenty
minutes, and Tuesday and Friday ride
half mile against time, with a pace
maker, if possible. Two weeks before
the race takes place practice starts
twenty minutes each day, and ride a
half-mile against time four times a
week. For diet avoid liquids as much
as possible, except water; eat beef and
chops, which are moderately rare
boiled potatoes and plain vegetables;
avoid sweets in the main, and eat
nothing fried. Aside from this the
fcod question is not so important as
the time of eating, which should be alb
solutely regular. Breakfast between
and 8, the same time every day; a
hearty lunch, which should be practi-
calIy a dinner. at 1890 to 1, and
dinner OF supper at 10 and get up at Z.
This may we'll be considered a severe
course of training, and is only for
seasoned rider."-Ex.
