at heart he seems to have been some
thing Of Bohemian, fonder of the en-
joyable rather than the merely correct
both in life and in art. He did not COM
pose much, but he was the writer Of
some songs which had vogue, Of the
most popular part song ever written,
and Of some church music which touches
the high water mark Of its kind. 1t is
hard to see who will take his place"

RUSSIA sEIzEs CHEZ ZOO.
The American Agent Said to Have
Had a Hand I'm the AFFAIR.

London, May PA dispatch from shang-
hal to a London news agency says the
Russians, through the medium of the
American agent. Mr.. Smith, have taken
possession Of the disputed territory Of
Chez Foo over which the British maintain
claims. The dispatch says six Russian war
ships and four United States war vessels
are lying at Chez Foo.
A dispatch from Shanghai to the Globe
confirms the news agency advices that the
Russians have taken possession Of the dis
puted territory of Chez Foo. The dispatch
adds that the seizure was made in defiance
Of Englands legal rights.
1t has been aSeertained that the facts of
the Chez Foo affair, in which the Rus
slams are represented as having seized the
disputed territory upon which England
had claim are these: The Russian steam
Navigation Company secured a tract of
land on the shore belonging to the English
firm of Ferguson at Chez Foo, and pro-
posed to build a pier thereon. Other firms
objected to the Russian company having
possession of the property whereup0n the
Russian government intervened and COM
PEELED the Chinese authorities to accede
TO the full transfer of the property to the
Russian company.
The Globe, in a special article on the
subject says that England is bound to re-
gard the affair as an unfriendly act, and
that the result will be awaited with the
greatest anxiety

question OF appointing the committees. 10
showed that Addicks had 81 votes In the
convention. and the opposition, -. The op-
position kicked up tremendous uproar
during the entire session, but the Addicks
men controlled the business. A recess was
taken az 2.30 o'clock.
At o'clock the convention re-assembled
and. DIR. Layton was made permanent
chairman.
The committee on resolutions reported
the platform. 1t re-afiirms the principles
of the party and allegiance to the same:
opposes the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver and declares that "untN there is
an international agreement we believe the
present money system should DE main
tained and every dollar made as good as
every other dollar" The Mckinley bin
was endorsed.
The platform favored uninstructed dele
gales TO the national convention; they to
decide for whom they shall vote and ex-
pressed sympathy with the Cubans who
are struggling for liberty.
After the platform was read, the anti
Addick delegates bOlted. and organized
a convention OF their own. The Addick
men appointed delegates IN the place OF
the boilers, and completed their business
by choosing delegates az 2 alteruates and

endorses Mckinley. The delegation Is

METHODIsTs IN a MUDDLE.
The c. Il. s. Prayer Test Virtually
Declared IdIOtfc.

Cleveland, o., May 12.-Bishop Fowler OF
Topeka, Kas., presided at the session Of
the Methodist general conference this
morning. An effort was made to smother
the amusements question, but It would not
down and during the morning a memorial
bearing on the question was referred.
A resolution asking for the appointment
the constitution Of the church was intro
duced. 1t provides for a commission to
meet at Chicago which is to formulate a
constitution which will meet the world
wide scope of the church. 1t was referred
to the committee on constitution.
Francis J. Cheney OF Central New York
put the conference In an uproar by intro
ducing q resolution disclaiming any re-
sponsibility for the utterances OF Rev. DR.
Quayle Of Missouri In committee meeting
yesterday afternoon concerning the Chris
tian Endeavor Society. The resolution
further says that the conference has ev-
cry confidence in the Christian Endeavor
Society An attempt was made to refer
the resolution to the committee on the
Epworth league, but 1t was defeated.
Or. W. F. Berry said that he did not
believe that an unqualified Endorsement OF
the Christian Endeavor Society should be
given, but he thought that IL the Rev. Dr.
Quayle said what the papers say he did
concerning the Christian Endeavor Socie-
ty, the conference should promptly dis
claim the remarks.
Rev DIR. Quayle, who was formerly a
professor in Baker University Of Kansas
rose to a question Of personal privilege and
explained his remarks. He said that he
did not say that the Christian Endeavor
Society was idiotic, but that he did say
that the attempt of the society to make a
prayer test by praying for lngersoIl, the
great agnOstic, was idiotic. He said /:
THAT he thought the conference voiced
his sentiments on that subject
A hundred voices cried, I'VE do" I'VE
do"
II then move" said Dr. Quayle that
the resolutions be laid on the table"
Mr. Cheney said that as the brother had
disclaimed the remarks credited to him.
that he would withdraw his resolution
storm of Noes greeted the announce
ment, and Mr.. Cheney was not permitted
to withdraw the resolution.
The motion to lay the resolution on the
table was adopted amid applause.
DR.. Buckley Of New York moved to ex-
punge the resolution from the journal
Mr. Bristol OF Chicago said that he was
not afraid Of the record.
Rev DR.. Buckley said: II am In favor
of the motion. We want to keen this
resolution and its sharp conflict out Of the
journal I have been accused by the news
papers of being a drunkard, but / maid
no attention to the charge So we should
not pay any attention to the secular
press We live by our character. The
Christian EndeavOr Society is a good In
stitution, but II never will and never can
take the place Of the .Epworth League"
Rev Leonard said that he knew Ohio
newspaper men to be very enterprising.
They had accused him Of being an old
soaker. He thought the motion to ex-
punge should be adopted.
After much confusion the motion to
keep the matter out Of the Daily Advocate
and the Journal was adopted.
