On Ferry Boat Conveying Visitors to
 Gunboat Nashville.

st. Louis, May 11--A vast concourse of people today filled the levee from 10 o'clock until o'clock in the afternoon eagerly awaiting an opportunity to be ferried out to the gunboat Nashville, anchored in mid stream
 The privilege of transportation has been granted to but one ferry company in order that the Nashville may not be over crowded. This companys wharf boat was jammed. At noon the jam was increased. Suddenly small child was pushed off the wharf into the river. Instantly police man followed and as the water shall low the child was soon rescued. The ex- citenent however. caused a panic and sev- eral men were showed over the edge of the wharf and wade6 out.
 At least twenty-five women fainted and were In danger of being trampled, but the police succeeded in carrying everyone out of the jam. Nobody was injured. Several children fell into the water during the day, but were rescued before they got beyond their depth.

Certain visions of mission work has been finally accomplished and will not be un- dertaken again. There is to be new mis- sionary activity, an activity of new kind, with new methods. A meeting place has not yet been secured. though several are in mind.

ELABORATE REPORT
 REGARDING CLAIMS
Held By M. E. Church, South, Against the Government.
FEE PAID TO E. B. STAHLMAN
Held to Not Be An Excessive One and Congressional Precedents Are Cited In Defense of The Committees
 Action

Nashville, Tenn, May 11.-The book com mittee of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, regarding the collection of the claim he'd by the church against the United States government as a result of injury to the publishing house during the war has been made public.
 The document is an elaborate one, and goes into defense of the acts of the committee and of the book agents. The paper asserts that the committee has no power to return the money even if 1t were so disposed. Neither has the committee the right to resign, if it were so disposed. The fee of over s1OO,OOO paid to Major E. B. Stahlman for securing the collection of the claim is held not to be excessive charge, precedents of congressional acts being cited in substantiation. The report finds that tho book agents had not intended to mis.ead or deceive United States senate tors, and the demand of several conferences of their resignatons were passed on as not presenting the case within the powers of the committee. The report, which is sign ed by all the committee with the exception of the member who resigned because he entertained an opposite view from the ma jority, concludes as follows:
 Having submitted to our church and the public the foregoing statement the book committee respectfully and earnestly sug- gest to all persons interested in these matters and in the welfare of our church that until the next session of the general conference, when, if deemed desirable, these affairs may be passed under review by the legislative body of our church. the chief source of power and influence among us,all agitation of the subject, especially in aH- acrimination and bitter spirit, shall come to an end"

The Stock Mnrket

New York, May 9.-The market to-
 day was demoralized by liquidation. both voluntary and forced, and values
 melted away with large interests ap- parently apathetic. Marginal accounts
 were wiped out and nothing escaped the furious decline The continuance of
 bear pressure disheartened many and
 resulted in shaking out many commits sion house accounts. The market was devoid of general new features, but To-
 cal stocks reflected fear as to the prob
 able effect of the Ford franchise tax
 bill, which, 1t was the general belief,
 would be signed tomorrow. London
 purchased some 30,0O0 shares, rendering
 an easier tone to sterling exchange and
 acting as the sustaining factor in the
 early dealings.
 Money on call was strong, ranging
 from 3la to 6, the latter being the quo-
 tation of the last loan. although sub sequently offered at 5. Standard shares were thrown over in some instances to protect specialties that were receding at an alarming rate. The forenoon show of strength tempted a renewal of short pressure and liquidation, which was practically continuous, Among the weakest points were the Flower stocks, which had risen the most dur ing the long ball campaign, Brooklyn Transit suffering a net loss of 5A, New York Air Brake 121a and Peoples Gas over ? points, which were the weakest stocks in this group. Other declines among the speclalties were American Tobacco IA, Sugar and Steel Hoop 6h 1,b hT1tannn1tto,, yI bacco preferred 41a, Manhattan AZ, Ma tional Steel 4 and Consolidated Gas 3. The railways suffered from to points and there were so many other weak spots that their enumeration would be tedious. The bear faction was constant ly on the alert for vulnerable points, and stop loss orders were freely ,uncov- cred.
 ln some quarters the expectation was entertained that the government crop report to be issued tomorrow would show little improvement in the winter wheat belt. Clearing house balances to-day of S1S971 1000 were the largest on record, and the credit balance of over SIS, 100000 of the bank which managed the payment of the Spanish indemnity was the largest ever liquidated at the clearing house. The sub-treasury's ] debit balance of over S10, 0OO. 900 Is the largest since 1890. The closing of the i market was weak, but final prices were well above the lowest the total transac- tions having been considerably over r. | poo, 900 shares.
 There were quite few issues in the | bond market which ignored the down ward tendency of the ep1i-snec,JIa five | whose losses, however, did |
