Saturday, November II, will be celebrated
by the Methodist Protestants throughout the
United States as the day upon which that
body Of Christians attain the ripe age OF three
score years and ten. The society WAS organ
lied in Baltimore city and has extended
throughout the country. The principal cele-
bration is therefore eIpec ted to take place in
the Monumental city. The causes Of the Sc
cesSion from the mother church were purely
governmental, and related chiefly to the laity
being represented with the clergy in the an
nual and general conferences. The question
which caused much bitter discussion at first,
has never been lost sight OF and is now being
agitated successfully in the NJ. Z. Church
The Wesleyan doctrine is the foundation and
cornerstone of the Methodist Protestant as
well as all other Methodist Churches.

The Canned Goods Ma ket.

From an elaborate article on the condition
Of business in Baltimore, published in the S,u
of Wednesday, October 10Th, We extract the
following as OF interest to the farmers and
packers of Hartford:
WAR MADE CANNED GOODS BOOM.
''There is q remark able activity in all lines
Ofthe canned goods business, said Mr.. fhoma:
}. Meehan of Thomas j. Meehan Il Co, it
having been greatly stimulated by the immense
purchases of the government during the war
a considerable percentage of which were filled
by the firm of Thomas j. Meehau & Co. The
stock carried over from last year WAS less than
for eight years past When the present season
opened there was little stock In the hands OF
the packers, which fact Immediately caused an
advance in prices all along the line. Now the
indications are that tomatoes, high already,
will reach the mark of 1897. There was a
short pack because Of the hot weather and a
particularly light pack in the West. The ell
tire country. Mr.. Meehan stated, appears TO
be looking toward Maryland to supply toma-
toes. The pack Of corn is up to the average.
There is considerable demand for apples,
pears and pineapples at the present time be-
cause of the failure of the peach crop. There
are few peas on hand anywhere, as the stock
has become greatly reduced and prices are in
proportion"

more precisely is Honolulu in the direct route of one part of that enormous traffic from Atlantic to Pacific ports which awaits the cutting of the Near agua ship canal to flow in a steady tide through the isthmuS All the trade with China and Japan from American ports on the Atlantic must take the Nicaragua route It Is this large move ment of ocean commerce impending in the immediate future which lends the most serious importance to the political relations of the Hawaiian islands. EY- cry ship from the Atlantic crossing the Pacific to Asia will naturally sight the Hawaiian islands, and every steamer will be likely to replenish her coal bunkers at Honolulu. This fact will render the political condition and inter- national relations of Hawaii of import ance.
 Honolulu is a convenient port of call for steamers on the route between Cali fornia and China This tendency will increase with the coming growth of Honolulu as general calling and coal ing station. It is also a natural port of call and supply for ships to China from CaIlao and Valparaiso. Honolulu Is thus the great crossroads of the Pacific commerce.
 More than this, Honolulu Is the only
