THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPIs-
CoPAL CHURCH
II Now being Held Hcre-Papers Dis
cussed Mt the Second Days.
session.

The district conference opened at $3.50
yesterday morning. with Rev. II. Leon
Trapp in the chair. Religious services
we're conducted by Rev. H. B. soniey. who
read for the Scripture lesson the first
Psalm and offered very fervent prayer.
The minutes of the first days session were
read and adopted with few slight
changes. When the president declared
the conference ready for business, the col
lection of annual dues and home mission
moneys was resumed.
The committee on examination OF local
preachers reported and recommended that
these local preachers be silenced until
next conference, viz: r. ID. Balm, James
Smith, A. c. Cobbs, G. w. Howard, E, d.
Riley. Wesley Owens. These passed cred
table examinations aud their licenses were
renewed, viz: Mrs. C. Il. Jackson, h. }.
Williams VIM Mcfarland. w. 0. Boyd,
Washington Anderson. George w. Taylor,
Walker J. Toliver, Thos Freeman, Homer
Scott, Square Keys and l.. James
The committee further recommended
that the local preachers purchase all books
pertaining to their course of study as per
discipline and subscribe to the denomna-
tional papers. A failure to do so would
work against the renewal OF their license.
The next order OF service being the
reading of papers on various subjects,
Rev. ] NJ. Weaver read paper on The
Pastors Help The paper was we'll pre-
pared and contained some wholesome ad-
vice. He discussed his subject under the
following headings:
/. Spiritual, including conversion, Bib
lical research and constant devotion to
God
2. Education, common school at least.
3. Material help, such as the various
church officers and several auxliaries.
Rev. G. p. Richardson followed on THE
Relation Of An Itlnerant Minister to the
District Conference He saw nothing in
the book OF discipline whore any obligatory
relation existed. but in his opinion he held
that the pastors were to tho district con-
ference as the presiding elders were to the
annual conference; tho presiding elders
are councillors with the bishop in the an
nual conference. so are the pastors to as
sist the presiding elders In his district.
The work demands closer getting togeth-
er OF pastors and presiding elders,
Our Mission In Cuba" was discussed
by Rev. r. ], Williams. His was well
prepared paper and elected strong and
very able comment from DR.. II. L. Trap.
Rev. w. o. Boyd followed with a most
inspiring paper on the organization of the
African Methodist Episcopal church in
Texas. Among the many good things the
paper contained We're these facts: First

A NEW RAILWAY.

The improvements that have
been made during the past few
years in its track, roadbed, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, etc., have vir-
-tually made new road of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC. The roadbed
has been widened, trestles filled
in, new and heavier steel rails laid,
grades cut down, wooden bridges
replaced by steel ones, curves tax
en- out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete, and improvements
made wherever possible. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
spent in this way during 1898 be-
sides large sums in previous years.
New and mammoth locomotives
capable of drawing the heavy
trans-continental passenger trains
at seventy-five miles per hour
when necessary, have been bought

"Smelt Like the Devil" F"

Washington, April 4.--Dr. William H.
DAILY was the first witness before the
beef inquiry court today, He took oc-
casion to pay his respects to the war
commission. He said the commission
had given out the impression that the
deterioration of the beef on the steamer
Panama was due to want of ice. This
was contrary to his testimony. The
truth could easily have been ascertain
ed. He also referred to a criticism of
the war commission of his use of the
expression in his report that the smell
about the beef was like the odor of
boracic acid. "If the phrase was Of
fensive," he said, II might have adopt
ed the language of the soldiers, some
of whom said it smelt like the devil"

the absence of the bulk of the Parnel-

exemplification of the spirit of anti
Parnellites to support Parnellite for
