Menthsrsa severe Gales.

Washington, Oct. 20. "A report was
received at the Navy Department yes.
terday from Capt. Todd, commanding
the gunboat Wilmington, telling of the
severe experience Of that ship in the
recent heavy gales along the coast. The
Wilmington is a small vessel, designed
for service in the shallow waters of
Chinese rivers. She was lately ordered
from Boston to Charleston, where she
was due to arrive on October Oath, but
accidents to her machinery and the
gales she encountered caused her to be
day late. Commander Todd reports
the Wilmington to have shown wonder
full sea qualities, and her first trial in
a big blow demonstrated her capacity
to weather some Of the heaviest gales
along the coast. One officer, Lieut..
Bootes. and two seamen were thrown
violently down during the storm, but
none received seriouo injuries.

UsIos AMERICAN Cos FERESoE.



At the meeting of the General Con-
ference Of tho Union American Method
ist Episcopal Church of the United
States and Canada, at Camden, N j.,
on Saturday,it was decided to hold the
next general conference in this city in
October, 1902. AT Saturdays session
Bishop Ruley presided.
The following preamble and resolu-
tions were adopted:
In order to enlarge and extend the
influence of the Sunday-schools in the
Union American Methodist Episcopal
Church, be it
Resolved, That we hereby adopt the
organization known as the Connec-
tional Sunday Union of the
Union American Methodist Episcopal
Church, whose object shall be to unite
and strengthen the Sunday school work
of the church in the United States and
Canada, and to provide ample and
suitable literature for the work; to aid
the needy and to encourage the Sun
day school conventions.
| 1t shall also be the work Of the said
union to gather statistics, so that the
church may be rightly informed as to
her Sunday school work.
The next matter taken up was the
discussion of the commuters report on
the revision of tho discipline. The
question of certificates created consid-
cradle discussion, and ii was finally de-
cided to have two forms of certificates
for baptism-one for adults and one for
children. The question of certificates
for elders and effective ministers also
created a warm debate, Elder Long
favoring q sameness in both Certificates.
with the exception of writing in the
name "elder'' or minister" Bishop
Ruley, however, decided in the mega
tive, stating that the certificates must
be separate.
A heated discussion ensued on the
suggestion of Bishop Ruley that the
duties of the minister he printed on
the ministerial certificates. Bishot
Ruley said he thought it would bring
before the pastor his duties more
pointedly by having them printed or
the certificate. The Rev. il. II. Ed.
munds opposed the suggestion ON the
ground that the PASTORS duties were
laid down in the discipline, and there
was, therefore, no necessity for having
them printed on the certificates.
Bishop Cook also opposed the sug
gestion of Bishop Ruley, stating thai
it would be a reflection on the pastol
to have his duties thus printed. Aftel
some further debate the suggestion O
Bishop Ruley was adopted.
AT the afternoon session the confer
ence decided, on motion of the Rev
W. II. Guy, to celebrate Church Elk
tension Day, on the third Sunday II
September, 1893.

THE PARK EvrnAsoE.

Bridge Footway will Accord with Curve
and wan be Supported by Steel oirders.
The improvements as suggested by
the Park Commission to the south APP
proach TO Market street bridge over the
Brandywine, will be made. The Will
mington hundred bridge committee of
the Levy Court will alter the western
footway to accord with the improve
ments being made by the Park Com
mission, which is preparing the park
entrance for use.
The curve on the eastern side of the
park entrance turns into the Market
street bridge and the Levy Court will
move the footway westward so that its
edge will agree with the curve. This
will mean the moving of the footway
about nine feet and the removal Of
several of the large stones which now
form part Of it. The old wooden
girders under the footway will be re-
placed by steel. A change would have
been necessary in the girders shortly
as they are rotting. The depression in
the street due to an inlet near where
these changes are to be made may be
erdicated by moving the inlet. The
plots on the sides OF the entrance are
being leveled.

The warren and EddystOne Teams Play
Good Game on the Union Street Grounds.
The football game between Warren
and Eddystone on the Union street
grounds on Saturday was hard-fought
contest, Warren winning by the score of
5 to O. The first half Of the game was
we'll played and in quick time, Warren
scoring a touchdown by repeated
plunges through center and tackles.
Prentiss missed the goal from touch
down. In the second half, however,
there was no scoring by either side, and
the contest was decidedly tiresome,
much wrangling being done by both
sides. Referee Joslyn had pretty busy
time OF it. The teams were we'll
matched and about equal in weight,
much rough work being done on both
sides Brinton made the touchdown.

Monday was the 3s1st anniversary of
the day on which Martin Luther nailed
to the door Of the Cathedral at Witten-
berg his 81 theses, condemning the sale,
of indulgences. Services commemorate
ing this event were held in st.
Stephens Lutheran Church on Sunday.
The church was decorated with autumn
leaves and flowers, and on one side of
the pulpit stood statue OF the re-
former. The Rev. Frederic Doerr, the
pastor, in his morning sermon, said
that Lutherans honored Luther first, as
q reformer; second, MS u theologian,
and third, as n Christian. He adj
dressed the Sunday.school in the after
noon, on the life OF the reformer and at
the evening service his sermon was
again devoted to a consideration OF
Luther.

Spain Has Been Notified of Our
Intention to Take the En-
tire Group Of Islands.
GIVEN UNTIL FRIDAY TO REPLY
We WIN Assume Such Propor-
ton of the Debt as Has
Been Spent in Public
Works, improvements
XXX and Perm anent
Betterments.

Paris, France, Oct. M.--The Ameri-
can peace commissioners, today, pro-
senten q written expression of the pur-
pose of the United States to take the
entire group Of Philippine Islands, and
to assume such proportion OF the Phil
ippine debt rs has been spent for the
benefit OF the islands or their inhabi-
tants in public works, improvements
and permanent betterments.
1t was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part of
the Philippine debt which had been
incurred by Spain for the furtherance
Of military or naval operations to quell
instructions of the natives.
The session today lasted little over
an hour. 1t was adjourned until Fri
day, in order to give the Spaniards
time to prepare reply.
The American commissioners, each
carrying portfolio containing records
and personal memoranda, left their
headquarters, in the Continental Hotel
for the meeting with the Spanish COM
missioners, at the Foreign Office,
shortly before O'Clock this afternoon.
The president of the Spanish commits
sioners, Senior Moptero Rios, whose
health at one time was so precarious as
to threaten an indefinite adjournment
of the sessions of the commissions, had
improved to the extent of enabling him
to attend today's meeting. Shortly
after 2 o'clock, the 10 commissioners
confronted each other, across the table
oD.which, in 1883 Benjamin Franklin
and his colleagues signed the Treaty OF
Independence of the United States.
Outside, the carriages of the two com
missions were drawn up on the graveled
drive, awaiting the pleasure OF the
with flying clouds, fitful sunshine,
whirling leaves and raw air.

ward football game ever played in New
Haven, as before the 'late misunder-
standing" Springfield was always the
scene Of the contest. Yale plays Prince
ton on the 18th of November ind Har-
yard not until the 10th, so it is foolish,
just yet, to risk prophecies as to how
the games will turn out. There is much
good material here, however, the men
are playing we'll together, and the
college is confident that they will mako
good record. We have the prestige
OF last years success too, as AN encour-
aging factor, and lots of the veterans
to inspirit the new men with something
of the esprit de corps which is q
prominent characteristic Of a typical
Yale eleven; such last years team
certainly was. From the standpoint of
the connoisseur in football last Satur-
days game with the Carlisle Indians
furnished n striking incident. Little
Hudson, tho fullback for the Indians,
kicked goal from the field from
behind the 45 yard line, and in spite of
the efforts of the Yale rushes, who
were upon him in an instant, the ball
few in beautiful arc through the
air, and hit the bar almost in The
center, bounded nearly straight up,
and, while the crowd held their breath,
came down on tho Indian side of the
goal From the yell Of applause which
greeted their success, you might have
thought that Yale had scored, and not
the Indians.
The passing away of the New Haven
elms is, sad to relate, becoming moro
and moro Of u fact. Old grads coming
back after five or ton years. absence
are continually speaking Of the differ
ence between the streets of now and
| then, and even those who have been in
college but few years remember how
many more Gins there were in the
| famous Temple street arch when they
were freshmen. Whether it is elm hug
or old age that causes the destruction
| there seems to be no doubt, but that in
| 10 years time the older generation of
trees which have made the green, tho
campus, and the streets about them
famous, will be most Of them gone.
The elm is the finest of shatie trees,
but so slow growing that probably not
till the classes of 40 or 80 come upon
the scene will the new striplings have
grown and spread enough to become
such landmarks as the gnarled veterans
which are being cut down one by ono
today. 1t would be sad indeed il
Beneath the elms of dear old Yale''
