Mother Methodist Church.

Detroit, Nov. 14.-Rather a warm dis
cussion took place at todays meeting of
the general missionary convention OF the
Methodist Episcopal church over the
question of admitting the Wesleyan Meth
odists In Germany to the Methodist Epis-
copal church body.
1t was proposed to discuss this matter
in executive session. but after some dis
cussion 1t was voted to continue the pub
lie session.
Bishop Newman, who Is familiar with
the situation as to the Wesleyans in Ger
many, traced from its beginning the
movement which is likely tc result in the
union of the Wesieyans with the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He urged an ap
preparation of s6500 In addition to the reg
ular appropriation in South Germany for
new work relating to the proposed union
| of the churches and which 1t was stated
| would add 1000 to the church's member
| ship in southern Germany. The usual
| appropriation for South Germany, minus
| the customary per cent from last year 8
amount, was made. bringing the appro-
priatlon to $10267.
The sum of $46.53S was appropriated for
| white work in the south; A3 $50 was des-
ignated for southern colored work.

lion Dollars in Four Years.

Washington Nov. 15.-Secretary Nor
ton, in his annual report, which VIII
shortly be made public, will review the
economical features of his administration
and cite figures to show that he has COW
cred back into the treasury s2,OOO,OOO of the
appropriations of the agricultural depart
ment during the four years, or $5oO'ooO
each year. This is in the nelghborhood OF
20 per cent of the appropriations for the
year. One of the principal features Will
be lengthy refutation Of what he calls

the agricultural interests are not declin-
ing, that 70 per cent of the farms in the
| country are without any incumbrance,
while the incumbrance on the remaining
2S per cent was incurred in the purchase
and Improvement of lands.
The report will state that the greatest
ratio of mortgages is found in the north

The secretary will decry the lavish pub
lcations of the government and will show
the pruning down of the literary outpu

Gigantic Commercial Enterprise I'm
der Why In Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 15-The Tribune says:
One million dollars has been subscribed
and plans are being matured for the FOR
nation in Chicago, within two weeks of
gigantic commercial enterprise to be
known as the English-American-C Chinese
Railway Construction Company, which
is to enter the field of Chinese trade as
the rival of the American Trading Com
pany. The object of the company is to
eventually obtain control of the Ameri-
can trade in the nowery kingdom. Twen-
ty-three miles of railway equipped with
the most approved appliances and rolling
stock VIII be built. Most of the capital,
it is said, will be put in by Americans
and they will also supply the equipment
of the road
Two Englishmen are directing the for
nation of the syndicate from opposite
sides of the globe. One of them, John
p. Grant, is now in Chicago, concluding
the deal, and the other, Louis Spitzel
is in China. The former is a railroad
promoter and the latter is the head Of
the firm of Louis Spitzel '& Com
pany of London and Shanhai.
A s1,0OO0OO contract for deepening the
| iidipOl VI pidHSHdl Is tHt llSl plum,
| which, 1t is said, the English
Chinese Construction Company is figur-
ing on getting from the Chinese govern
ment, through the good offices of Louis
Spitzel, the promoter of the company.
The scheme for the rapid development
of Chinese trade through the Chinese
construction company contemplates maxi
ing Shanghai the principal port of entry
of the empire and it is in this city, it is
said, that modern appliances will first be
| introduced.
Besides the deepening of the harbor
to admit the largest craft of the world.
the Chinese city is to be furnished the
most complete street railway lines that
it is possible to build and an electric
lighting system will be introduced at the
| same time.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 15.-Following the
disasters in the way of floods and storms
which beeell the Great Northern three
days ago, paralyzing that great system
from the Cascades to the coast, the
Northern Pacific, Columbia & Puget
Sound and Seattle & International have
been overraken by misfortune, and for 10
hours Seattle, with her five railways, two
of them transcontnental lines, has been
cut off from all rail communication with
the outside world. The probabilities are
that the situation will not be relieved for
several days Not a train, passenger or
freight, has arrived in or departed from
the city today.
The Northern Pacific. which is shut off
by the dangerous condition of the big
bridge over White river, is sending pas
sengers by boat to Tacoma, where con-
nection can be made with the Northern
Pacific branch line for Portland. An ef-
fort will also be made tonight to get out
an overland Northern Pacific from Ta-
coma, but 1t is doubtful If 1t will get
through the Cascades
The Seattle & International, which con-
meets with the Canadian Pacific, has had
great slide near the boundary, blocxad-
ing oil the traffic on that line.
Tonight, for the first time, the Great
Northern succeeded in re-establishing @

Too Radical.

Washington, Nov 15.-In view of the
fact that the letter of Tom Watson, ac-
ceptlng the vice presidential nomination
of the popullst party has been published,
Senator Marion Butler made public his
reply written when Watsons letter was
received. In which he took exception to
its tone. The reply is as follows:
washington, Oct. 16.-Hon. Thomas
Watson Thomson, Ga.-Dear Sir; Your
letter of acceptance was received Satur-
day night. 1t had been detained In the
postofice for want of sufficient postage.
You, In effect, advise the populists
not to support the joint electoral tickets
that have been arranged In large num-
Der of states. 1t Is not possible that
you fully appreciate the effect of such
advices, at least, upon reflection, you
must know that If enough populists
should follow such advice 1t would mean
the defeat of Bryan and the election OF
Mckinley. Besides II your advice should
be followed by enough populists. the peo-
pies party would not have n single cleo
tor in the electoral college. In the states
where we have joint electoral tickets, we
will get every elector that we do get,
and besides, 1t Is In those states where we
get the bulk, If not all of the people i
party congressman In your own stale
and other states which have followed
your advice against the electoral tickets
we will not get single elector and feal
not many congressman, If any.
You certainly can't mean. however
much you may have favored the middle
of-the-road' policy in the beginning, tC

envoy plenipotentiary to the Negus Me-
nell1 of Abyssinia, has telegraphed as
follows:
81 have today with great solemnity
signed a treaty OF peace and convention
for the release of the prisoners in Me-
nelil<s hands. The treaty provides for the
re storaton of the status quo pending the
appointment of delegates by Italy and
Abyssinia to determine the frontiers by
friendly agreement. 1t recognizes the abb
sodute independence of Ethiopia and alb
rogates the Ucciali treaty. Italy under
takes in the meantime not to cede the
territory to any other power. Should
| she desire spontaneously to abandon the
| territory, it would return to Ethiopian
rule By the Ucciali treaty concluded in
| 1889 between Menelik and Italy, Abys-
| sinia became an Italian protectorate.'
| The settlement announced above by
| Major Verazzini is the outcome of the
Italian reverses at the hands of the
| Abyssinians.
Major verazzini telegraphs further as
follows:
"The treaty provides for the conclusion
of a further commercial treaty If neces-
sary. The present treaty will be COM
nunicated to the powers and ratified a
month hence. The convention, after ce-
failing the arrangement for the release
of the prisoners, provides that Italy shal
indemnify Abyssinia by sum which th'
Negus leaves to Italy's sense of equit,
for the expenses incurred in the main
tenance of Italian prisoners. The Negu
