METHoD1sTs ARE THROUGH.
Quadreanial Conference Comes to q
Close.

C1OAe.
Chicago, May 3O.-With three bust.
ness sessions yesterday the Quadren-
NAL conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, which for a month past
has been sitting here considering great
questions affecting the welfare Of that
denomination, practically came to q
close. The actual adjournment takes
place to-day, but to-day's session Is
expected to be but little more than a
forniality and many of the delegates
left for their homes last night. Much
important business was transacted
yesterday, including the settlement Of
two of the most interesting questions
brought before the conference.-the re-
ports of the committee on temperance
and the committee on the state of the
church in relation to the ban on card
playing, theater going, dancing and
other amusements. A strong political
color was given the discussion on the
temperance question by the bitter ar
raigIment of President Mckinley be-
cause of his attitude OH the anti-can-
teen law but after some decidedly
warm debate, the conference refused
to criticise the attitude of the chief
magistrate by striking out by an over
whelming vote all reference to any
action on his part or that Of Attorney
General Griggs. The minority report
on the amusements accepted Saturday
was, to the surprise of many. laid on
the table. which action leaves the par
agraph in the book of discipline ex'
actly as it was before the question was
considered

IMPORTANT TRANSFER
OF Valuable Real Estate Made I'm
Grand Forks.

OF Valuable Real Estate Made I'm
Grand Forks.
The most important real estate
transfer that has been recorded in
Grand Forks for long time occurred
the other day, when a deal was con-
summated whereby Tracy r. Bangs
becomes the owner Of the 5O-foot lot
on Third street just south of the ma
chinery warehouse of Stephen Collins.
The property was owned by f. Il.
Fulton, formerly of Grand Forks. but
now located in Chicago. and the deal
was made through C. c. Gowran.
The property extends back to the
Northern Pacific tracks, and is un-
doubtedly the most valuable vacant
business property in the city. Several
parties have been negotiating for it
for some time past, but the purchase
was secured by Mr.. Bangs.
When interviewed regarding it he
stated that he intended to erect a
brick block on the property at once,
as soon as plans could be completed.
The building will be either two or
three stories high, and modern in ev-
cry respect. The ground floor will be
rented as store rooms. and will un-
doubtedly be eagerly sought after, on
account of the location. second to none
in the city. AS soon as the new build
ing is completed Mr.. Bangs will re-
move to the new structure.
The erection of a handsome brick
block upon the above lot will make
decided improvement in the appear
ance of Third street. and will be re-
garded with infinite satisfaction by
every one in the city. In securing SO
valuable a property Mr. Bangs is 70
be congratulated.

The Policy of the Army in the Phil
ippines.
Washington, May 3O.-The war de-
partGent has received the following
cablegram from Gen. Macarthur at
Manila, dated yesterday:
Three officers, 90 men. with 46
rifles, surrendered Internationally at
Cuyapo yesterday. Three officers. 46
men, with So rifles, surrendered un
conditionally at Tarlac. These spon-
taneous surrenders are very encour-
aging"
Gen. Corbin said that Gen. MacAr-
thurs dispatch shows that the situa-
ton in the Philippines is improving.
The present policy of the army. 1t is
said, is to disarm and not to kill the
Filipino insurgents. and that object is
being facilitated by the action of the
Filipino captains in getting their men
together and si1:rendering in body.
In such cases the men get receipts for
their arms and ammunition.

A Ignite FIND.
Fine Quality of Coal Found in the
Vicinity of Wilton.

vicinity OF "1ltOns
The, promoters of the Bismarck
Washburn & Great Falls railway are
greatly elated over the discovery of &
fine quality of Ignite coal in the Vi
cinity of Wilton. the first station on
the new line The coal was found at
depth of fifty feet in large Quanti-
ties, and it's composition in the lowest
portion of the mine is almost bitumin-
Gus, showing nearly 60 per cent of car
bon. The consumption of coal within
easy hauling distance of the mines
there will amount to thousands Of
tons annually. In Fargo alone there
is a market for 200 car loads daily.
Tracklaying on the new road is pro-
crossing ut the rate of mile a day.
About twenty-five fiat cars are on
their way to Bismarck, the engines
being already on the ground.
Senator Washburn's land syndicate
has sold about 25,OOO acres of land
near Wilton, which is some forty miles
south Of Bismarck, and hundreds of
settlers are already putting in their
crops. There is already an elevator at
this station containing $4,000 bushels
of grain, which will be shipped out on
the completion Of the line to that
point. The officials of the road esti-
mate that they will get about ]. .OOO. 600
bushels of wheat and 100000 bushels
Of fax out Of the country tributary to
Wilton, from which it would appear
that the country is adapted to other
purposes than grazing.
All of the Northern Pacific lands in
Mercer county which are opposite to
Washburn on the west bank of the
river, have been bought by the Mercer
County improvement company.
