CONFERENCE CLOSES.
Ex-President Harrison Presides Over
the Final Session at Carnegie Hall
big Crowd Attends.

New York, May 2.-The last meet
ing of the ecumenical conference was
held at Carnegie hall Tuesday night,
there being fully as large an attend
ance as on the opening night, at which
President Mckinley, former President
Harrison and Gov. Roosevelt were pres
ent. The hall was crowded to it's ut
most capacity and hundreds were
turned away. Ex-President Benjamin
Harrison presided and the session was
devoted to interesting speeches by
prominent delegates to the conference.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
principal speakers were Bishop Doane,
of Albany; Rev. DR.. Maltibie Babcock,
of this city, and Rev. w. T. Barber, of
London. After they had concluded, the
chairman, Gen. Harrison, said: 1.-The
discussions of this great conference are
now ended. Words of farewell only
now remain to be spoken" Short ad-
dresses were then delivered by Canon
Edmonds and Rev. George Owen, of
China. In closing the conference Gen.
Harrison said: II have spoken before
great political meetings where enthu-
siasm was at white heat, but 1 was
never in political campaign where
there was enough enthusiasm to fill
this hall and three or four overflow
meetings three times day for ten
days." Great meetings were held also
in the Central Presbyterian church, at
which Home, Church and the Outlook
for the Coming Century" was the SUBJ
ject under discussion.

CUBA FOR cuBANs.
Senator. Mason Introduces an ImpOr-
tant observation-disclosures With.
draal of Our Troops.

Washington, April ~. = Senator
Mason Thursday introduced joint
resolution in the senate requesting the
president to withdraw the forces of the
United States from Cuba, SO as to turn
the government of that island over to
the Cubans by the Fourth of next July.
The resolution is preceded by pre-
amble setting forth that in entering
upon the war with Spain the United
States disclaimed any disposition or in
tention to exercise sovereignty over
the island; that the United States is
under treaty obligation to give indie
pendence to the Cuban people; that
the continuance of the United States
in possession of the island has excited
the attention of the world and is ex-
citing the apprehension of the people
of Cuba;" that under the Monroe doc
trine the island is safe from foreign
invasion; that "the Cubans have shown
a disposition to make their best eff
forts to govern themselves and can un-
doubtedly do so without endangering
life or property; and that the United
States has done all that could be ex-
pected of it,"
The full text of the resolution fol-
lows:
THAT the president of the United States
is hereby requested to withdraw the forces
of the United States as rapidly as may he
done with convenience and safety and that
on the fourth day of July, 1900. all civil
and military power of the United States
be turned over and surrendered to the peo-
pie of the island of Cuba"

PRACTICALLY AN uLT1MATuM,
Great Impression-Not Ready
To Pay, However.

Constantinople, April 2s.-TEe Amer
lean note handed to the Turkish min
lister of foreign affairs, Tewfik Pasha,
on Tuesday, is couched in peremptory
terms, demanding immediate payment
for the indemnity several times prom
ised to Minister straus by the sultan.
The note does not fix time limit for
an answer, but its tenor is not far
from the character of an ultimatum.
1t has produced a great impression
upon the porte, which, however, shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
hitherto maintained, namely, repudiat-
ing the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the Importance of the mat
ter. 1t is presumed that the porte's
reply will be in this sense; and hence,
it is feared the United States govern
ment will be obliged to take steps to
enforce its demands.

ROUTED THE BoERs.
The heroic Defense of LRdysmith and
How 1t Was Finally Re-
lieved.

A little ten-year-old girl who be-
long to perennially impecunious
uptown family was doing her regular
front-door attending stunt one Sat-
urday lately. First it was the milk
man. The little girl went to the
front door TO answer the ring.
Nobody in," she said to the milk
collector, who departed growing.
After awhile the ice man with
dog scared bill dating from last sum-
MGR, showed up. The little girls
mother, who was sewing in the din
ing room. made sundry and divers
motions with her head for the instruc-
ton of the little girl when the bell
rang.
Nobody home except me-" said she
to the ice collector, who said Il few
muttered things and went away.
About half an hour later there was
another ring, and the little girl got
the nod from her mother.
"Paw and maw's botli out" said
the child to the collector on the IN
stallment furniture. The collector
looked incredulous and said rude SAYS
under his breath, but he too went
away.
Ten minutes later there was an
other fierce ring, and the child again
opened the door and told the sulky-
looking grocery collector that she
was the only member of the family
Mt home. The grocery collector went
away, banging the gate after him
pretty hard. The little girl closed the
door, put her hands on her hips,
looked thoughtful, and sighed.
"Talked about your Ladysmiths!"
she breathed, softly, and then her i'm
pecunious father descended from his
kopje, put on his hat and coat. gazed
around the lager to see if the way
was clear and went out.-Washington

According to information from Mas

Slight outpost actions take place

prominence to the statement of a news
agency that Sir Redvers Butler sent
his resignation to Lord Roberts after
the Spion kop censures were published,
and that Lord Roberts declined to ac-
cept it.
London, May L. The latest news
received from the Orange Free State
indicates that though the Beers have
evacuated Thaba N Chu they have only
done so in order to occupy stronger po-
sitions. On Sunday, April 80, Gen. De
| Wet made an effort to turn French's
eastern flank, which was only foiled by
the cavalry after vigorous maneuver-
ing. The Beers hold the ridges to the
eastward. whence they will probably
fall back when the pressure OF superior
numbers increases.
The British casualties sustained
during the Thaba N Chu fighting were
slight.

Explosion Causes Awful Loss Of

Over 2OO-BadieH Recov4Re&
So Far Numbe& 1ev.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 2.-The
mining camp at Scotield, on the line of
the Rio Grande Western road, near Col
ton, Utah, is the scene of great excite
ment on account of terrific explosion
which occurred Tuesday in the winter
quarters of the coal mine owned by
the Pleasant Valley Coal company.
The cause of the explosion is attributed
to the blowing up OF a number of kegs
of blasting powder. The scene at the
mine beggars description. The work
of rescue is going on, and everything
possible is being done to relieve the suf-
fering and ascertain the number of
dead. Superintendent Sharp, of the
coal company, and Superintendent
Welby, of the railroad company, have
gone to the scene on special train.
Salt Lake City, Utah, May "A spe-
cial to the Tribune from Scofield, Utah,
says: The English language cannot
describe the appalling disaster which
occurred here at 1925 Tuesday fore
noon by an explosion in mine No. of
the Pleasant Valley Coal company, and
by which certainly 200 men and up
wards have lost their lives. At this
hour 1877 bodies have been recovered,
and the work of rescue is still proceed
ing and will continue until all the bod
les are brought to the surface. There
are willing hands at work, and as fast
as bodies are reached they are brought
down to the boarding houses and other
company buildings, where they are
dressed and prepared for the coroner's
inquest. These buildings are numer-
Gus, and in each are from ten to thirty
five bodies.
The removal of bodies began at noon,
and every diligence is used to get the
charred and mangled remains from out
the mine. Many hundreds Of men have
freely volunteered their services, and
as fast as one set or force is tired or
worn-out others take their places.
While the stencil of smoke and powder
is sickening, resembling much that of
a dissecting room, there are brave
hearted and brawny men of muscle
who have been continuously at work
since the moment of the explosion. AS
soon as the accident was known Off
Gals of the coal company at Salt Lake
City, and also the railroad company,
were notified of the disaster, and
though the number of dead was re-
ported lower than it really is, it would
appear that everything by them that
lies in their power has been done.

WORK OF FLAMES.
erty Destroyed In a ConfiaEra-
tiOn in Canada.

Ottawa, Ont, April %. - Over five
square miles of territory burned over;
more than 1900 buildings destroyed;
2 lives lost; 1000 men, women and
children homeless, and property loss
of $17,000,000, according to the latest
estimate, insured for about half its
value are the results of the destruc-
tive fire which swept this city and Hull
Thursday and Friday. Although I'M
ner control for many hours, the flames
were not entirely extinguished until
about noon Friday.
The neighboring villages of Hinton
burg, Mechanicsville, Eddyville and
Birchtown have also been the victims
of the terrible visitation.
The dead are:
Miss Minnie Cook. aged 40 years. cre-
| mated In her own house: John Pumple, car

dead in Meyers house, Wellington street.

died from fright. aged so years; A. Baudin.
eight years old. son of Charles Baudin,
Duke street, Hull.
| A relief committee has been formed
by the citizens, and this, together with
the Catholic archbishops of Ottawa
and Montreal, will make an appeal for
relief to the country. The most Sc
rious problem that confronts Hull is
that of work. Tie majority of house,
holders who were burned out are poor
and have large families. 1t is not ex-
pected there will be employment for a
considerable period, and the way in
which many of the poor are going to
live in the meantime is doubtful. On
the Ottawa side fully two-thirds of Dali
housie ward is devastated, and an esti-
mate by residents of the district places
the number who were without roofs
of their own in this district at 5000.
The fire area was viewed by hundreds
of people Friday afternoon and even
ing. One of the most remarkable things
about the sad scene was that no smoke
was to be seen. There were no half.
burned buildings or smoldering logs
anywhere. Everything that the fire
touched was burned to ashes. All OF
Hull's principal buildings, with the ex'
ception of the Catholic church, are
things of the past. The buildings anc
land in the place are valued at So, 700,
600, and of this amount over $1,000, O0t
may be put down as loss. Then il
stocks, fixtures, household effects ant
wearing apparel there is loss o:
nearly $3,0o0,000. The vast piles Of
lumber which went up in smoke may b.
reckoned at So, 0OO,O0O more.

HORROR IN PARIS.
Temporary Bridge COllapses Buryink
q Number Of People - Nine
known to De Dead.

Paris. April 3O.-An accident with
in the exposition grounds caused a
total of nine deaths, while an equal
number of persons were injured.
&a=ee OF those dead succumbed to
their injuries after being taken to the
hospital.
A temporary bridge, unable to with
stand the Sunday crowd, broke. The
accident threw a pail over the happi-
ness of an immense throng who had
profited by the magnificent weather
to visit the exposition. Sundays was
probably the record attendance. Not
merely the interior of the grounds,
but the precincts also, were crowded.
and the concourse was particularly
great along the Avenue de Sufren,
which forms the northern boundary
of the grounds.
Here is situated big sideshow, the
Celestial Globe. A foot bridge, on
which the finishing touches were be-
ing put crosses the Avenue de Sufren,
connecting the sideshow with the ex.
hibition. 1t was constructed of wood
with stucco facade and with plas-
tornado tower at each end. Strange
ly enough, the bridge had been con-
demned only Sunday morning as un-
safe by the exposition authorities.
The public was therefore not allowed
to go upon the structure. and in this
way disaster even more terrible than
that which occurred was averted.
The weighty plaster towers seem to
be responsible for the fall of the
structure. The disaster was the lead
ing topic of discussion in the cafes
and at the other Paris resorts, and
strong criticism was leveled against
the exposition authorities for allow.
ing an unfinished structure to jeop.
ardize the lives of citizens, fears be-
ing expressed that the incomplete
state of works within the exhibition
grounds themselves might lead to q
similar accident. 1t should be said
however, that the exhibition authori
ties are not responsible for the de
fective construction of the foot
bridge, which was erected by the man
agement of the Celestial Globe. AS 8
result of the accident, NJ. Pepine, pre-
feet of police, has ordered the closing
of several sideshows, the structural
arrangements of which are considered
dangerous.

Their Report ON Porto Rico BILL II
Adopted by both HOuscs-
Changes Made,

Washington, May 1.-The conferees
on the joint resolution amending the
Porto Rico act reached complete
day. The original senate resolution
extending the tenure of military Off
GERS in Porto Rico until their successors
are appointed is retained intact. The
sections added by the house relating
to corporations are considerably
changed, and in their final form are as
follows:
"sec. 2: That all railroad. street railway.
telegraph and telephone franchises, privi-
leges or concessions granted under section
30 of said act shall be approved by the
president of the United States and no such
franchise, privilege or concession shall be
operative until it shall have been so ap-
proved.
"Sec. 3. That all franchises, privileges or
concessions granted under section 80
of said act shall provide that the same
shall be subject to amendment, altera ton
or repeal; shall forbid the issue of stock
or bonds. except in exchange for actual
cases. or property al fair valuation, equal
In amount to the par value Of the stock or
bonds issued; shall forbid the declaring
OF stock or bond dividends: and, in the
case Of public service corporations. shall
provide for the effective regulation of the
charges thereof and for the purchase or
taking by the public authorities of their
property at fair and reasonable valua ton.
No corporation shall be authorized to con-
duct the business of buying and selling real
estate. or be permitted to hold or own real
estate, except such as may be reasonably
necessary to enable 1t to carry out the pur-
poses for which 1t was created. and every
corporation hereafter authorized to engage
in agriculture shall. by It's charter. be re-
stricted to the ownership and control of
not 10 exceed 500 acres of land. and this
provision shall be held to prevent a member
OF any corporation engaged in agriculture
from being in any way interested in any
corporation engaged in agriculture. Cor
porations, however. may loan funds upon
real estate security and purchase real es-
tate when necessary for the collection Of
loans. but they shall dispose of real estate
SO obtained Within five years after receive
ing the title Corporations not organized
in Porto Rico, and doing business therein.
shall be bound by the provisions of this Sec
ton so far as they are applicable"
The report was adopted in both
houses, so the bill now goes to the
president.
