WANTS LIQUOR KEPT OUT.
Rev. John Patton Makes an Earnest Plea
for the 10000 CannIbaIs In
New HebrIdes-

New York, May Rev. John D.
Patton, of the New Hebrides, IN the
course of his address before the
EcumenicaI conference in Carnegie
hall said:
There are still 1000 to $1,000 cannibsls in
the New Hebrides group Great Britain
has prohibited all her traders on those
Islands from trading in rum, ammunition,
brandy, opium and dynamite. Nearly
eight years ago was sent to plead with
the Americans and their president and
congress that they would place their
traders under a similar prohibition. Pres
idents Harrison and Cleveland were both
willing to do 1t. but for some reason At
was not done. Months ago we petitiOned
President Mckinley and the congress
through him. TO place American traders
in the Hebrides under a prohibition, and
many thousand Americans have sent from
public meetings for him TO do so. But
now the assistant secretary Of state
titiOn without a special act Of congress
American citizens in those islands to sell
intoxicating drinks and firearms to the
natives Of the New Hebrides and to make
provision for the execution Of this legis-
Iation. Surely there are congressman in
the United States Of America who viii
take up this subject and plead with con-
gress to pass an act to save such ruin By
the traders Of America against these de-
fenseless islanders, who are not under
the protection Of any civilized nation,
but are at the mercy Of the lawless ira
ders, kidnapers and salvers who visit or
settle on those Islands

LIQUOR EXPORTS DECREASE.
During the Past FEAR the United States
Sent Abroad Nearly q Million
GaIlcas Less

Washington, Nay 2.-If, as the
temperance people have asserted, the
American army has carried the sa-
loon into the islands of the seas, 1t
has had a curious effect on the liquor
trade Of the United States, and the
whisky trust win join with the w c..
I. U. in denOuncing the army. The
figures show that the export liquor
trade of the United States with the
world at large has declined to a re-
markable degree since the islands
were turned over TO US. For the nine
months ended April, 1, 1899, the total
exports Of sPirituOus liquors from
this country we've 2,317,174 gallons.
During twO-thirds Of this time Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines were
still in control of the Spaniards. For
the nine months ended April 1 Of
this year, during all of which time
the Americans controlled the islands,
our total export Of spirituOus liquors
to the world at large were only l.
339s 934 gallons. This is a positive
loss Of 997,24O gallons.

Chicago, Nay 2.-The Methodist
Episcopal general conference by a
unanimous vote decided Wednesday to
admit equal lay representation to all
Methodist conferences.
The vote for equal lay representa-
ton being taken, the fight for the
seating Of the IA provisional dele
gates was begun. Their cause was
relieved Of an embarrassment by the
withdrawal Of ali rights to a seat by
Mrs. N. Y. McAIahan, of Griggsville,
III. The conference then voted to ad-
NIT the provisional delegates.
The Twenty-ninth general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church began here Wednesday. 1t
viii last a month and It is expected
to be the mOs5 important of any con-
ference since the memorable one of
1914 when the south branch of the
church severed relations with the
main body over the slavery question.
The pit of the Auditorium theater
was filed with delegates from north
and south and east and west; Ware
and Smith from India, brOnzed by the
sun Of the equator; Hagan and Cam
PhOr from Liberia, and innumerable
others representing MethOdism in all
parts Of the world Further back in
the big hall where the conference is
to be held were the spectators and the
provisional delegates. The peals Of the
great pipe organ were still echOing
when venerable Bishop Thomas
Bowman arose to declare the con-
ference open. Behind Bishop Bowman
were the other bishops in the places
Of honor on the stage. They, in
common with the remainder of the
assemblage became silent as the vet
eran bishop raised his hand. Briefly
he called attention to the Importance
Of the conference, cOunseled cOnserv-
atism and the gravest consideration
Of matters which would be brought
up, and then declared the confer
ence open. BisoP II. W. Warren, fol-
lowing Bishop Bowman, announced
the first hymn which was sung with
vigorous enthusiasm by the great
audience. The apostles creed, led by
Bishop J. NJ ThobUrn, of India, was
recited by the audience and then
Bishop c. D. FOss delivered a prayer.
Grave questions confront the gath
ering. A determined effort viii be
made to raise the ban on dancing,
card-Playing and theater-gOing, and
arguments advanced for the conse-
Grafton of bishops of limited juris-
dictiOn, the dropping of the time limit
on pastOrates and the referring Of
the election of conference editors,
secretaries and book agents to the
committees governing the different
societies. It is also expected that
some-steps may be taken looking to
the re-uniting Of the south branch Of
the church with the main body.

ROOT HINTS AT WAR.

New York, April 29.-WhiIe the ban
quet hall Of the WaldOrf-Astoria was
ringing with applause in honor Of the
hero Of ApPOmattox, Elihu Root, with
all the impressiveness attaching to a
deliberate statement from the sec

time was rapidly approaching in our
history as a nation when we should
have either to abandon the Monroe
doctrine or fight for it. He added
that we would never abandon it. Mr..
Root presided over the dinner held in
honor Of the birthday Of Ulysses S.
Grant, and his reference to the Mon
roe doctrine, It is generally agreed,
was designed as an official utterance
Of the Mckinley administration, in
tended to express the belief Of the
president that it is possible for one
to "eat his apple, and have it, too"

CROPS ALL RUINED.
Floods In Texas Have Left Devastation
In Their Wake-Labor Problem
q Serious One.

Austin, Tex. Nay Heavy rains
fell in many localities of central and
southwest Texas again to-day and
last night, and the food situation is
growing worse instead OF improving.
No reliable estimate can be made at
this time Of the damage done to grow
ing crops. There is every indication
that the flooded area of the Brazos
and Colorado river valleys viii exceed
that Of the great inundatiOn Of last
year, when it was reliably estimated
the losses aggregated 100000. No
additional damage can be done now,
for the corn in the bottoms is already
ruined and the cotton viii have to be
replanted- The labor problem is the
hard one now. The negroes are leav-
ing the bottoms, and there is none
to take their places.

A FORTUNE IN ORANGES.
A san Francisco Clergyman Who

Of a region where land is marketable
at prices ranging from 81, goo to 81, 500
per acre, Dr.. Mackenzie owns 90 acres,
all In bearing oranges. The land is
covered with trees in full bearing and
is worth IN its present condition about
$50, 900. The income must be very
large, for orange groves pay a large
profit on the capital invested
DR.. Mackenzie started the orchard IN
a small way a number Of years ago. He
had a few acres, which were carefully
planted. He tended his place with
great zeal, and il IS said that Mrs
Mackenzie herself went over the first
few crops and sorted and boxed them,
a labor she would not trust to less
careful hands than her own. This

Manila, May 2.-The American gar
risOn Of Catubig, island Of Samara,
consisting Of 30 men belonging to the
FOrty-third regiment, was attacked
by rebels. Twenty Of the Americans
were killed, the remainder being res
cued.
The Americans were quarte-ed In
the Catubig church, which the enemy,
numbering several hundred men, sur
rounded and fiereely attacked. The
Americans fought for two days and
then the rebels managed to ignite the
roof of the church and il burned
away and finally fell upon those inside
the edifice. The walls remained In
tact, however, and were used IS
shelter by the besieged Americans for
three days longer, the enemy attack
ing the building on all sides at once.
The Americans continued firing from
the windows and doors Of the church
and did great execution among the
FiIiPinOs. 1t is estimated that over
200 of the latter were killed, many
dead bodies being removed from the
scene Of the fighting.
After five days resistance By the
Americans a lieutenant and eight
men arrived from LaOan and engaged
the besiegers, who thereupon retired.
The fortunate arrival Of these rein
fOrcements prevented the annihila-
ton Of the American force entrenched
in the church, who had repeatedly de-
clined to surrender when ordered.
The ten survivors were without food,
had little ammunition and were ex-
hausted when relieved. This fight has
encouraged the Filipinos, who are now
acting in an aggressive manner and
threatening that section OF the coast.
