THE METHODIST.

Ia the Methodist Conference ii
Portsmouth yesterday DR.. A. G. Brown
offered a paper Cd the subject of the
Chautauqua by the Sea, and read Let
ter from Bishop Hendrix commencing
the plan and approving the location Of
the same near Virginia Beach.
A Series of resolutions was offered
recommending the conference to estas-
tablish at that place a yearly camp
meeting. These were adopted. The
order OF the day was the report Of the
committee on the war claims of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
against the United States government
There was majority and minority
report. The latter was adopted by a
vote of 124 to 70. The following re-
solutions were, embraced in the report
That we deprecat@and abhor the con.
fessed duplicity practiced by E B.
Stahlman, the attorney employed to
collect the claims, and repudiate all
completely in and responsibility for the
same; that we deplore the fact that our
book agents have become in any way
implicated in the misleading methods
practiced, and believe under the Cir
cumstances that the best interest of the
publishing house and its future pros
perity will be advanced by their retire
ment.
That we heartily approve the action
taken By our bishops in regard to the
matter of the money, aud hereby pledge
our hearty cooperation and support in
carrying the same
Several reports of committees on diff
ferert work of the church were pre-
sente0 and adopted.
Ali standing committees for the en-
suing year were then appointed.
Contrary to expectations, the appoint
ments of ministers to their new stations
were not made at last nights session.
The committee which is Investigating
the charges against Rev. Joseph Can
non, which was expected to report, was
not ready. Both these matters, there
fore, went over until to-day, and ser
mon by Rev. DR.. Tudor was substituted
for the business session.

Great Fire in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-Fire
started at 3:15 this morning in the
Baldwin Hotel, one of the finest hos
telries in the city. An alarm was given
and the sleeping guests were aroused,
so far as possible. They crowded in
the smoke-6lled Railways in their
night clothes and soon there was the
widest excitement. a number were
cut of by the flames and these jumped
to the street and were badly Injured.
A big force of chambermaids are in the
upper stories of the hotel and are
probably doomed. The fremen have
tried to reach them with ladders, but
so far without success. The building
is burning fercely and it will probably
be totally destroyed. The Baldwin
theatre is also on fire and it, with all
the stage properties, will also be total
loss.
Three persons are known to have per-
ished. HI. Morris, guest who jumped
from second story window, was so bad
~ hurt that after being taken to hos
pital, he died. He had recently come
from the Klondike, where, it is said,
be had made q fortune. N. G. Noon, a
st. Louis business man, leaped from a
window and seriously injured himself.
Another man jumped. His head struck
on the hard sidewalk, and he was tax
en- to the morgue. An unknown man
was seen to fall back from the window
into the flames. Eighth servant girls
who were sleeping on the top floor are
said to have been burned to death
The fate of four women who appeared
at different windows and screamed for
help, is unknown. The hotel IS COM
plete run.
The loss by the fire will probably run
into the millions. 1t is not yet under
control and makes grand spectacle.
There were 800 people including
guests and employees in the hotel at the
time and from Is to 20 are reported to
have lost their lives.
At $50 the fire was under control but
still burning.
The Baldwin Hotel was built by E. ].
lucky Baldwin, the well-known turf
man. He expended S1,500,000 in
erecting and fitting out the hostelry.
At the time it was built, it was said to
be the finest hotel in the country.

To-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
After the Battle.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-"Fake" was
the word on the lips of every man that
left the Lennox CLUB last night after
Tom Sharkey had been declared the
winner of the bout with Jim Corbett,
because Jim McVey, one OF the latter's
seconds, had jumped into the ring
while the principals were fighting fast
and furious. McVey's action astounded
the spectators aud they soon realized
that they had probably been duped.
John Kelly, the referee, was prompt in
taking action and his decision saved
the admirers of Corbett at least $780,
900, the amount bet on the ex-cham-
pion. "Sharkey WINS" he declared,
but he followed this with popular
ruling when he declared all bets of.
Though McVey is condemned on all
sides, opinion differs as to what prompt
ed his action. His explanation that
Sharkey was fouling Corbett and that
he entered the ring to protest is laughed
at.
Betting interests are believed to be
at the root of the trouble, and Kelly
recognized this by ruling all bets Oft.
II is recalled in this connection that dis
patches last week, originating in Cleve-
land, gave an interview with a New
York sport, in which he said the fight
was ali fixed and that Sharkey would
win on a foul. That man was true
prophet or knew what he was talking
about.
Up to the time the fight was inter-
rupted y McVey the contest was about
even, with Sharkey the stronger and
Corbett the cleverer. Corbett, how
ever, had no power in his blows, though
he gave superb exhibition of scien-
tific boxing. Sharkey was strong and
aggressive all through. He stood up
like man and did his best to win. 1t
is question who would have won out.
The tight had reached an interesting
stage, but with the final result in doubt.
1t was in view of ell this that the i'm
preston gained ground that Corbet's
handlers believed that he might be
beaten and that the violation OF
the rules was Intentional. Ac-
cording to the articles of agree
ment Sharkey receives $4,000 of
the purse ana CorDett 3d. OO, altnough
there are rumors that the $50, 900 purse
will be split in two.
DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 2S-"Corbett
is a lobster" said John L. Sullivan last
night. 'Corbett can't whip nobody.
He's coward so is Fitzsimmons. /
do not think Corbett was on the level
at all /; he is dirty duck. This fight
has cooked his goose for all time.
Sharkey is the coming champion. When
he meets the red-headed kangaroo he
will knock his block off. But l don't
think you can drag Fltzs.mmons into
the ring with him."
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-"The whole
thing was fake and planned for the
gate money" said Bob Fitzsimmons. |

SHARKEY AWARDED THE VIC
TORY.

The Sharkey-Corbetb fight, which
was witnessed by the largest gathering
of sporting men that ever congregated
to see ring contest in New York end
ed in most disgraceful fasco last night
at the Lenox Athletic Club. Corbett
had all the worst of the encounter
when in the ninth round, one of his Sc
conds. connie" McVey, jumped into
the ring. thus violating the rules, and
the referee, John Kelly, had 40 alternn-
tive but to disqualify Corbett and award
the bout to Sharkey. Believing that
there was sob" in McVeY's action he
declared ell bets off, and consequently
ali money paid on wagers made will be
refunded.
1t was an abrupt ending for what
promised to be most interesting fight.
For weeks both Corbett and Snarkey
had trained carefully for the contest.
Sharkey was very confident Of success,
and the manner in which he acquitted
himself in the ring showed that his
confidence was founded on good
grounds. Those who believed that
Sharkey could not fight fairly
changed their opinion after tue
bout had gone one round. On
the other hand, Corbett hit the
sailor in the body rather low and
Sharkey protested, sharkey's quick
ness and aggressiveness were astonish-
ing from the very beginning. In the
second round there were wild yells
from the admirers of the Irishman
when he fioored Corbett with right
swing Oh the head, preceded with a
powerful blow on the body. Sbarkey's
PUSHES were invariably successful. That
he has improved wonderfully goes with
out saying, and, on the other hand. COR
is beyond question. At no time had the
Californian the upper hand of his young
er and more sturdy rival. sharkey is
a fighter, and clever one at that, and
his work last night stamps him as being
second only to Fltzsimmons.

men are known TO have been killed. 1t
is feared other victims are in the ruins
and rescuers are at work. The main
building of the plant which contained q
large quantity of explosives, was unin-

hills. The cause of the explosion is not
yet known. The ground for miles
around was shaken as though by an

PARIS, Nov. 23.-The Spanish peace
commissioners are not ready to present
q reply to the American ultimatum OF
Monday and, in consequence. the
meeting which was to have taken place
to-day was postponed. This further
delay is no doubt due to the lack of in
structions from the Spanish govern

fully what the American terms were in
time to prepare line of action for
their commissioners to-day.

submitted to their government. A
