MErHopIsrs CONFERENCE.
Refuses to Criticise President Mckinley
Stil Forbids Card Playing.


Chicago, May 2S.-With three busi-
ness sessions today the quadrennial
conference of the Methodist church.
which for month past has been sit
ting here considering great questions
affecting the welfare of that denomin-
alton, practically came to close. The
actual adjournment does not take plnce
until tomorrow, but to-morrow's ses-
sion Is expected to be little more than
q foruiaiity. Many of the delegates
left for their homes tonight.
Much important business was trans
acted to-day, 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 regard to the ban on card
playing, theater-going. dancing and 9th
er unusements. A strong political col
or Wis given the discussion on the tenn
perance question by the bitter arralgn-
ment of President Mckinley because of
his attitude on the nnti-canteen law, but
after some decidedly warm debate the
conference refused to criticise the atti-
tude of the chief magistrate by strik-
ing out by an overwhelming vote all
reference to his action OH his part or
that OF Attorney General GrigHs.
The minority report on amusements
accepted Saturday. was. to the surprise
of many, laid on the table, which nc-
tion leaves the paragraph In the book
Of discipline exactly as 1t was before

that the management of both systems

tors who have been Investigating the
treasury and the customs departments
The auditors say that they have not
finished their work. but everything so
far as they have gone is satisfactory.
AT all events the method of keeping the
books is perfect, and does not present
any difficulty to the examiner. The
auditors nre not Havana employees, but
have been brought especially from the
United States because of their records
as experts.

the postal department. To-day he Is
sued an order cutting down salaries
In the Havana local office, the pay of
the postmaster being reduced from S4,-
800 to $4,000. that of his assistant
from $1,000 to $500. and that of ten
other employees by sums ranging frGm
500 to S4OO. Mr.. Bristow says he Is
fixing the salaries mt figures slightly
above those paid in the United States
because of the abnormal conditions ex-
listing here.
Seven clerkships have also been nbol-
ished, making reduction of another

Thompson's Springs, Utah, May D.
Several posses today started In pur-

day at Hill creek. fifty miles north OF

It is learned to-day that men answer

they rified the pockets of the two dead
men, knowing that Day and others
would return to tnke the bodies away.
The outlaws let part Of their camping
outfit remain to make the rescuers De-
lieve they were still there.
The men stopped at Turner's cabin In
Hay canon, eight miles north ana
twelve east of the scene Of the Tragedy,
and took four OF Turner's best horses:

The mystery Of the "wabbling" of
the earth's axis may be explained in
the opinion Of DR.. J. Hahn. German
astronomer. by assuming that the ro-
tation Of our planet Is affected by
changes In the magnetic influences OF
the sun. He publishes comparison
Of observations on sun-spots and on
Tie irregular motions OF the north pole.
which appears to show a coincidence
betwes0 the two phenomena, During
maximum Of sunspots the magnetic
Influence of the sun seems to be great
sst. and after the passage Of such a
aaximum the disturbance Of the
sarth's axis diminishes. The fact
that the earth's poles of magnetism do
not correspond In location with its
geographical poles may. Doctor Hahn
suggests, indicate how the suns dis
turbinG action is applied. When the
magnetism of our globe IL most pow
erfully excited then tho strain along
It's magnetic axis may cause distor-
ton Of the figure Of the earth. which
becomes less ~ the strain diminishes.

City Convicts Taken to South Side
 Prison to be Renovated

With the exception of a few trusties and cripples, the inmates of the city prison were yesterday transferred to the South side market house preparatory to the ren- ovation of the jail, which will begin this morning.
 More than one hundred prisoners were transferred, and were carried over to the temporary bastile in squads of twenty-five in charge of the State Guards.
 As noted in the Age-Herald of yester- day, the prison will be treated to a much- needed cleansing. The place will be thor oughly scrubbed, the walls whitewashed, the ceilings painted and the plumbing put in first-class condition
 The renovation of the prison is being done at the urgent suggestion of City Phy- sician Whelan. who reported it's unsani- tary condition to the city authorities, with the result that immediate steps were talk en in order to prevent a possible outbreak of disease among the prisoners.

ANOTHER FURNACE
 IS OUT OF BLAST
Republic Company Shuts Down Stack No. 2 at Thomas
 for Repairs.

One of the furnaces of the Republic. Iron and Steel Company at Thomas Is out of blast for repairs. It will be thoroughly re- paired and refined and put in first-class condition. It is probable that by the time it Is ready to go in blast again the new will be completed and ready for the torch.
 With the completion of the new furnace and the repairing and modernizing of the two old ones, the Republic Iron and Steel Company will have the second largest fur mace plant in the district.
 While it is stated that the furnace is banked for repairs, it is also understood that the depressed condition of the iron market had something to do with it. No iron is being shipped from the Birming- ham district, or at least what shipments are made fall far below the daily produc- tion, and there Is not much prospect of any considerable improvement in the mar ket soon.
 An official of one of the local companies stated yesterday that his company was not selling much iron, and what it did sell was in small quantities. The metal is fast accommodating in the furnace yards, until there is now probably 125o00 tons or more piled up in the district
 It was stated day or two ago that one company had made two or three small sales of No. foundry at s11 ton and No. 3 at $10 50

YACHT RACES IN
 SOUTHERN WATERS
Birmingham Men Interested in Promoting the Sport.
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
T. J. McGowan of This City, President of the West End Yacht Club of Biloxi, Miss, Returns from
 Successful Tour

T. l.. MeGowan of this city who is one of the organizers and president of the West End Yacht Club of Biloxi, Miss, is enthusiastic over the prospects for splen- did racing under the clubs auspices next summer and is firm believer that the Mississippi Sound Course is destined to be the finest race course in American waters. MT. McGowan is also vice-president of the Mississippi Sound Club which will co-op- crate with the Yacht Club in promoting the sport in Southern waters.
 MT. McGowan, accompanied by Ed. c. Booth of Biloxi, returned yesterday from an extended tour of the cities and towns along the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road in the interest of the clubs, having succeeded in arousing considerable inter- est in regard to the watering places of the Mississippi Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. A number of prominent business men have placed their application with Messrs. McGowan and Booth for member ship in the two clubs, and have expressed their determination to assist in making the Gulf coast the most attractive and popu- lar summer and winter resort in America.
 The Clubs Plans
 The Mississippi Sound Club has planned and will shortly proceed to erect on a most beautiful section of the Biloxi beach one of the handsomest club buildings in the country, and connected with 1t pier run ming out several hundred feet to deep water to allow the landing of yachts steamers and pleasure craft of every description Work on the building will begin almost immediately, so that its completion will be assured by the middle of winter or sooner, and next summer it will be the starting point and general rendezvous for the great American yacht races which are being arranged by the West End Yacht Club, under the management of its president, MT. McGowan, and Commodore Tony Ben achi one of the leading yachtsmen of the Southern waters. This event will take place during July, 1901, over magnificent triangular course of fifteen miles, and will last about a week.
 It is claimed that this is the finest yacht ing course on the American coast having smoother water and much more reliable winds than the different points along the Atlantic seaboard, and as the weeks sport there will include every variety of aquatic amusement, from high diving and swim ming contests to the finest of boat racing, there is no reason why 1t should not be liberally patronized by immense crowds from the interior country.
 Cups and Purses
 Quite large lump of money, together with magnificent cup, will attract yacl ts of every description from all coast towns between Baltimore and Galveston, and the railroads will cooperate with cheap ex- cursions rates to fill the quaint and his- toric little town of n-the-Gulf with visiting pleasure seekers. Biloxi, it will be remembered, is only three miles from
