NJ p CONFERENCE.

The MARYLAND Annual Conference of
the Methodist Protestant Church adj
journed late yesterday afternoon at
Cris6eld. Md, after some stirring
scenes.
Rev. DR.. ]. J. Murray, who has been
in the active ranks for ifty-seven years,
and pastor at Union Bridge, Nd, for
the past nine years, asked the confer
ence to fix his future relation with the
conference. His statement of his case
was so pathetic that even strong men
were sensibly moved.
Rev. T. r. Dyott. who spoke on the
position of DR.. Murray, said he felt
that appointments should be made by
the president and council, and not
by the president, as now obtains.
At the mention of this there were
EXPLANATIONS OF approval and disap-
proval.
DR.. Murray steadfastly refused to
state what relation he desired, leaving
the question with the conference to de-
eide.
PRESIDENT Melvin recommended lnaU
DR.. Murray be placed on the superan-
nuated list. The recommendation was
adopted.
The case of Rev. J. G. Sullivan was
again brought up, when President Mel
vim recommended that he be left with
out an appointment; adopted.
Conference adopted a resolution
which declared the admission and re-
tention OF polygamist in Congress is
reproach and disgrace to this country.
Among the appointments are the fol-
lowing. Alexandria, T. z. Revelle;
Central. Washington, J. w. Kirk;
Esston, W. NJ. Poisal; Westminster,

GERMANY NOT SATISFIED.

There has been a sudden change Of
views upon the part OF both the minis
ter of foreign affairs, Baron Won Bulow,
and the Emperor of Germany. A for
eign office official said last night that
Germany, before engaging in an inves-
tigation by commission, must insist
upon the American and British gov
ernments Enthusiastically disavowing
the fragrant violations committed by
Admiral Kautz and Captain Sturdee.
In the absence of disavowaI, for
Germany to join the commission would
be a mere farce. He added: when
the commission starts it must start on
the status quo, and not on status
created by the illegal acts of subordi-
mates in Samoa"
More energetic still is the semi-oiii-
cial announcement of the Hamburg
Correspondent, which declares that II
England and America do not heed the
diplomatic remonstrances made In
London and Washington, these re-
monstrances will be fortified adding:
Germany insists upon receiving full
satisfaction for the number of breaches
committed in Samoa"
The tone OF the German press during
the last two days has been most bitter.
The United States government Will
not disavow the actions OF Admiral
Kautz in Samoa unless there is convin-
cling evidence that he violated the Ber'
lin treaty.

ments were exchanged in the city of
Washington on the eleventh day of

ainety.nine;
"Now, therefore, be it known that |,

United States OF America, have caused
the said convention 20 be made public
to the end that the same and every ar
ticle and clause thereof may be OBJ
served and fulfilled with good faith by

upon the army and upon the expendi-
lures in connection with it. From yes
terday the additional pay allowed off,
GERS and privates serving in time of
war ceases.
Madrid, April 12.-Now that the treaty Of
peace with the United States has been rati-
fed, Spain VIII make formal demand on the

The expansionists are felicitating
themselves and congratulating The
country upon the ease with which the
full complement of the army has been
filled by enlistments. Could they look
at the matter in different and truer
light they would not be SO previous.
The large enlistment referred to only
shows that work is so slack, and wages
SO low, and starvation so near, that
Americans will risk the dangers of IN
wholesome tropical climates even, to
get the poor pay of privates in the
army.

emf mode than that now provided by
the Constitution, will be welcome at
the self-called convention" to meet in
Richmond on the 10th proximo. In
view of this, it is not at all strange that
the supporters of Senator Marin uu-
derstand that they will not be welcome
at any such assemblage, and, of course.
none of them will be present. So that
few opponents of one prominent dem
