THE VIRGINIA METHODISTS.

Danville, Va, Nov. 25.-The last day
of the 10th annual session of the Vir-
ginia Conference of the NJ Il. Church,
South, was cloudy and cold. Bishop
Fitzgerald called the body to order at
8 o'clock.
The first business was the report of the
Educational Board, which was discussed
two hours. The subject which brought
forth such an oratorica1 deluge was the
ways and means to increase the patron
age and enlarge the usefulness of Ran
dolph- Macon College and the Randolph
Macon system of schools. The report is
in itself a condensed history of all the
schools and colleges operating under the
watch and care of the conference.
The report Of the Colportage Board
was very lengthy, showing the operations
of this comparatively new board to have
been eminently satisfactory during the
past year. DR.. A. G. Brown was re-
elected superintendent.
The announcement of appropriations
by the Mission Board to the weak
churches within the bounds of the con-
ference for the ensuing year shows the
amount so appropriated will be $4,000.
The usual votes of thanks to every
body were passed and then the confer
ence suspended work to go into a
Thanksgiving service. Rev. DR.. w. j.
Young, of Norfolk, preached the sermon,
at the conclusion of which conference
adjourned to 7:30 o'clock, when appoint
mentS were read out.

FIRM FOR AUTONOMY.
Sagasta Says the Patriotic Plan Must
be Carried Out.

Madrid, Nov. 25.-The clause in rela-
ton to the tariffs in the governments
proposed scheme of autonomy for Cuba
provides for the creation of a mixed
commission to be composed of Cubans
and Spaniards, which is to fix the tar
ifs. The rates fixed by the commission
are to be adopted by the Cuban Chamber
of Deputies and then approved by the
Spanish Cortes before they become eff
fective. Should the mixed commission
come to deadlock the Cortes is to be
the arbiter of the question at issue.
Prime Minister Sagasta has received
over one hundred dispatches from per-
sons and organizations in Catalonia,
Biscay and other provinces asking that
the autonomy scheme be suspended. A
member of the cabinet said to-day. how
ever, that the opposition to the scheme
must soon cease. Naturally" he ad-
ded, "the proposed reforms were opposed
by number of persons who by the past
system had amassed great riches, but
the government was determined to carry
out what it considered a patriotic work
and its decisions must be respected"
1t is expected that the ministry of the
colonies will be abolished after the appli-
cation OF the reforms and that colonial
affairs win be conducted by the Prime
Minister.
