PRAYER.

O thou, at whose command divine The raging storms of ocean cease, This wild, unruly heart of mine Lead to thine everlasting peace, This heart, that only feels the glow That every changing passion lends, And, through its erring love, brings woe Alike upon itself and friends. Deliver it, good Lord, pray From passions storm. Oh, quench the hre Of sinful last and break the sway Of every passing vain desire, Give it, O Lord, a changeless aim, That, in the contemplation blest, Forgetting doubt and fear and shame, It may at last find endless rest.

Bishop Hurst Breaks His Cavel-
The First Week of the in

Cleveland, May s.-Bishop Hurst pre-
sided in the Methodist conference this
morning Morris Sharp of Ohio pre-
sented a resolution to excuse the wo-
men delegates who relinquished their
seats and providing their expenses be
paid to the date of their withdrawal.
The resolution also called In their

women were invited to remain as hon.
ored guests of the conference and their
expenses ordered paid.
DIR. Cranston looked for a ruling as

the conference. Bishop Hurst decided
that was a matter of Interpretation for
the body and ruled that DR.. Nicely had
the floor. Just after DIR. Nicely began
speaking. DIR. Fryssinger of Pennsyl-
vania appealed from the decision OF
the chair on DR.. Cranston's point.
Bishop Hurst put the question as an
appeal of DR.. Cranston. There was
great confusion. The motion to lay
the entire matter on the table was lost
by a vote of 21s to los. Bishop Hurst
held DR.. Neely had the floor. DR.. Ky
nett appealed. Bishop Hurst declined
to entertain the appeal and a dozen
were on the floor shouting for recogni-
tion. Bishop Hurst pounded until he

If not given the right OF appeal he
would resign. DR.. Nicely said he de-
sired to withdraw his paper. Bishop
Hurst would not permit this and the
din continued. Finally, forced by the
conference, Bishop Hurst said he ruled
both papers were before the house and
he would entertain the appeal. Mr. sharp
asked to withdraw his resolution, but
was not permitted to do so. In the
midst of the intense excitement the
vote on the appeal was taken. The rul-
ing of Bishop Hurst was sustained by
a vote of 223 to 204. DIR. Nicely and
Mr.. Sharp both withdrew their papers
and the most violent struggle of the
first week of the conference was over.
J. NJ. Kink of New York presented a
resolution directed against the use of
federal money by the Roman Catholic
church and the reading was frequently
interrupted with applause. 1t was
unanimously adopted without discus

The Canal Proposition.

Washington, May s.-Governor Nc
Corkle of West Virginia appeared be-
fore the house committee on Commerce
to-day to advocate the constructions of
the Nicaragua canal. He spoke in be-
half of the interests of his own and ad-
jacent states declaring that section
would be able to control the coal mar
kets of the Pacific coast, of North and
South Amarica, with the shipping IA
cilities which would be afforded by the
canal At present all coal used on the
Pacific coast, he stated, is mined in
Australia, Japan and Vancouver. He
predicted that with the advancement OF
the Japanese they would monopolize
the coal business of the coast, unless
the canal should be built, when freight
rates would enable West Virginia to
undersell the Japanese.
