CLEVELAND, O., May 2O.-Today's
session of the Methodist general confer.
ence was devoted to the consideration
of routine business, which was sand
wiched in between the ballots for the
election of two agents for the book
concern, each for New York and Cincin-
natl and two agents of the missionary
society. The conference did not lose
any time.
An incident of the session was an adj
dress by retiring Bishop Foster that was
full of kindly feeling for the delegates.
and of apologies for the action Of the
conference in voting him non-efficient.
The result of the first ballot for book
agent of the Western Book Concern of
Cincinnati was announced. The count
showed that 512 delegates has voted,
each for three candidates simultaneous
ly. Numerous candidates were voted
for, but only two received more than
257, which was necessary to a choice.
DR.. A. H. Leonard of Cincinnati received
301. thus re-electing him.
Resolutions denouncing as disgraceful
the sale of intoxicating liquor in the
capitol at Washington, and commend
ing the bill reported by the house com.
mittee prohibiting it, were adopted.
The committee on state Of the church
| reported in favor of no change in the
rule prohibiting the use or encourages
ment of liquor, dancing, games OF
chance, theater-going, circuses and
horse races. The recommendation was
greeted with great applause. DR.. Levi
Masters of Michigan thought the list
| should be revised. If the restrictions
We're to stand, why not include football,
| billiards, etc.?
| After discussion the vote on the rule
| prohibiting certain amusements was
| taken, and it was sustained by an over.
| whelming majority. Only about forty
| voted in favor of striking out the re-
| strictions.
DR.. Mains was elected book agent for
! New York and Dr. H. G. Jennings at
| Cincinnati.
The committee on state of the church
| decided to take up on Friday the pro-
| position to form kind Of supreme court.
| which will have final authority in all
cases of the dismissal of laymen. The
| plan Is to have body Of twelve lay
/ men, three OF whom shall act as court
of inquiry, to which all appeals shall be
| made
The committee will ask the conference
to request Bolivia, Peru, Chile and
| Ecuador to remove the constitutional
discrimination against missionaries. In
these countries marriage by Protestant
| ministers is not recognized as legal
| The committee again took up the reso-
| luton asking for the insertion Of the
name of the deity in the United States
constitution and voted it down.
An episcopal residence was taken
from Omaha and given to Portland,
Ore: The reason is that there is bishop
\ at Topeka. Kan, near by. There was a

RED CROSS RELIEF WORK
Distribution Of Supplies Is Prosecuted
Without Interference
A Movement on Foot to Effect Q Reconcllia-
tlon Between the Sultan and His
Rebellious Subjects

WASHINGTON, May 20. - Secretary
Olney has received a letter from Miss
Clara Barton, in which, referring to the
rumors that she was prohibited from
distributing relief in Asia Minor except
under direction and control of the Turk
ish authorities, and from lists of persons
furnished by the Turkish officials, she
emphatically denies that any members
or officials of the Turkish government
have ever tried to direct or control her
distributions. She adds: THE Turkish
government is thoroughly convinced
there is no political significance attach
ed to our visit; that we have no sectar-
ian interests to serve and certainly no
radical prejudices. there have been no
requests which they have not granted
no suggestion which they have not
promptly acted on. Our every desire
has received respectful attention, care
full consideration and cordial conces-
sion.
"The primal work in consideration
of both parties has been and is the dis
tribution of the farming tools and seeds,
SO the generous gifts of our great-heart-
ed and open-handed people will mean a
permanent rather than a temporary
benefit. The latest evidence of kindly
interest in our work shown at both pal
ace and by the porte has just been
brought to us by Mr.. Cargiulo, first
dragoman of our legation. It is as fol-
lows:
of our men find that the people are
in need Of seed for planting, they are
to apply to the governor of the place for
it. If he cannot furnish it, they are to
telegraph to us and, upon our request.
the porte will at once issue the neces-
sary orders for the seed. In going from
place to place, if our men find people
who are anxious to plant their fields but
are afraid to leave their homes for that
purpose, they are to inform us of such
places by telegraph, and upon our re-
quest ample protection will be granted
by the porte"
ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
NEW YORK, May 2O.-A special to the
Herald from London says: It is learn
ed on the highest authority that the
Aremnian question is about to enter a
new phase. At this moment movement
is on foot here in Paris and in Brus-
sells in favor of reconciliation of the
Armenians with Turkey. There is every
reason to believe this movement has
been started with the consent of the sui
tan. His majesty has been yiyidly i'm
pressed by the regrettable state Of at +.
fairs in AnatOlia created by the sad
events of the past year. It is necessary
however. that the well intentioned sec
tion of Armenians should come forward
honestly and endeavor to forget the past
and boldly make an appeal to the per-
soral sentiments of the sultan; in other
words. grasp the hand which is already
as good as rendered. This turn of af-
fairs would be received with a deep
sense of relief among English politi-
clans of both parties.

A New method Of Coming.

"When / was in London a few
years ago." says Edward Atkin-
son, II heard rumor that
measures were being taken to
make dies exactly corresponding
to the stamp of our standard
United States dollars, which were
to be sent to China to be used in
converting United States trade
dollars and Mexican dollars into
standard dollars. 1t was said that
this could be done only at the ex.
pense of coming, the silver being
already assayed and alleged and
each dollar weighing 81 grains
more than our standard dollar.
1t was said that these coins could
be sent from China through Mex
leo, British Columbia and the
Sandwich Islands in sufficiently
large quantities to make it very
profitable business. L was un-
able to trace this rumor to its
source and have never seen any
evidence that it had been carried
into effect. Bat how could that
evidence be obtained? We know
that there are only about 6G,OO0,-
600 standard dollars OF our own
coinage in circulation. Low do
we know that there are not many
more of exactly the same weight
and quality, carrying the same
identical stamp, which may have
been made for us in China and
japan, or in Mexico, where the
profit would now be nearly so per
cent? How long will it be be-
fore such a plan is worked on a
very extensive scale, even if it has
cot yet been worked?"
