ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 27.-The Meth
odist Episcopal conference, which has
been 10 session at the Lloyd street col
ored church, before adjourning took
action On very interesting subject.
The delegates discussed the great ques-
ton OF tie increase Of toe crime OF
murder IN this country, and, while
the causes for the increase were not
developed in their action, the resolu-
ton adopted makes good reading, and
will attract the attention Of the pen Of
the country. During the final session
of the conference Rev. DR.. Mason in
troduced a resolution which was
unanimously adopted, upon waking
up the country to the importance of
the murder question.
It required the Episcopacy, as

IN full:
Whereas, the crime OF murder IS :
increasing in the land and becoming
the most popular of crimes because of
the venial character Of our criminal
courts, by whom many murderers are
allowed to escape, while many suffer
no penalty at all-showing a greater
number Of murders and homicides TO
the million of inhabitants than any
European nation which keeps record
of the matter, when measured by this
rule the United States leads the list,

The Nicaragua Canal.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Pres
ident to-day sent to- the Senate the
correspondence on file in the Depart
ment of State relative to the Nicara-
qua canal. Probably the most impOr-
tant part of the correspondence is a
communication from Mr.. Baker TO
Secretary OIney dated February 3rd.
1896. detailing an interview with Presi-
dent Zelaya. of Nicaragua, in which
the latter stated that he had taken the
opinion of a commission of three law
ers, who agreed that the Maritime Ca
nal Company had forfeited it's conces-
sion by it's failure TO do any work for
many years. Mr.. Zelaya then express
ed to Mr. Baker the hope that the Unit
ed States Government would take UP
the enterprise. He said il could be
easily arranged TO have the contract
transferred to the Government of this
country. as he had reached the conclu-
sion that only a great Government
could put the work through.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 27.-The Globe
says: One of the largest corners in
wool ever attempted in the United
States at present exists in the condi-
tion of the Boston market in anticipa-
tion of the restoration of a tariff on
wool in the near future by the Nc
Kinley administration.
This morning it was learned on au-
thority that a syndicate was recently
formed in this city TO buy all the wool
offered in European markets in an
ticipation of a duty of 10 per cent.
being put on wool by the Mckinley ad-
ministration.
The agents of the syndicate are buy
ing Australian and south American
wool. and from this time on every
steamer coming to Boston, not to speak
of special boats ITO arrive, will be load
ed with their cargo.
1t is calculated that 900 900 bales of
Australian and South American wool
will be brought to this country by the
syndicate within the given time.
The syndicate will clear $4,000
which will come out of the pockets of
the consumers later.

Kfnley's personal guests, all save Sec
retary Olney. who could not be reached
in time with news OF the arrangements.
The idea that he absented himself
from the White House because OF a
rupture Of the relations between him
self and President Cleveland is secuted
by the friends OF both. 1t is probably
true that there had been difference
of opinion between the President and
Secretary Olney as to the transmits
sion of the correspondence in the Ruiz
case to Congress, but there was moth
ing approaching a rupture OF friendly
relations. and the President and Sec
retary parted on good terms.
There was another hitch in the pro-
ceedings at the capitol which unfor-
tunateIy added TO the impression that
the cabinet had been slighted. This
was at the time when the assemblage
in the senate chamber was about to re-
pair TO the inaugural platform out side.
There were no seats prepared for the
Cabinet, and the members who had
arranged to take luncheon with Sec
retary Lamont, went directly to his
residence in Lafayette Square instead
of going out on the platform.

Powers Are Firm.

LONDON, March 9.-It is learned in
official quarters this afternoon there
is not the slightest chance that the
powers will tolerate the presence of
Greek troops in Canea. So soon as the
powers have time to exchange views
on the subject, Greece will be notified
of measures which they have decided
must be taken for the immediate en-
forcement of their decision. Negotia-
tions will not last long, as it is known
that Germany and Russia are pressing
for immediate action.

man cables the Journal from Athens
as follows: Bulgaria has offered TO
join Greece and Servia in a joint cam

should events in the next few days re-
quire it, This would practically ami

the whole of the Greek army Is con-
centrated at Thessaly. on the MacedO-
nian frontier Twenty thousand Greeks
are in Macedonia, armed, waiting for
the signal to rise against the Sultan.
Ten or fifteen thousand Greek volun-
teers are marching towards the from

HEAVY FALLS OF SNOW.
Railroads In Dakota Shut or to
Travel.

IIstNtl.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March S.-North
and South Dakota has had snow every
day for a month. Sundays storm was
the greatest in many weeks. Railroad
trains are tied up in every direction
and many small branch lines have been
abandoned
The members of the Legislature at
Pierce, which adjourned on Friday
night, are tied up as tightly as if under
a strike. General Superintendent Rus
sci Hastings, of the Great Northern,
speaking of the snow, said: In all my
career 1 never saw anything like it. \
conservative estimate places the snow
in North Dakota as three feet on the
plains. There is probably near four
feet on the level. The snow is not all
down yet, as the kilograms indicate
another storm soon"

HERE IS THE HISTORY OF A LIE

HERE IS THE HISTORY OF A LIE
First somebody told it,
Then the room wouldn't hold it,
So the busy tongues rolled it,
Till they got it outside;
Then the crowd came across it,
And never once lost 1t,
But tossed it and tossed it
Till it grew long and wide.
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers,
And fathers and mothers
A terrible crew;
And while headlons they hurried.
The people they flurried,
And troubled and worried.
AS lies always do.
And so. evil-boded.
This monstrous lie goaded,
Till at last il exploded
In smoke and in shame:
When from mud and from mire,
The pieces flew higher
And hit the sad liar.
And killed his good name.
