Chicago, May 29.-With three busi-
ness sessions yesterday the quadren-
nial conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, which for month past
has been sitting here considering great
questions affecting the welfare of that
denomination, practically came to a
close. The actual adjournment did
not take place until today, but today's
session was little more than a formal
fly and many of the delegates left for
their homes last night.
Much important business was trans
acted yesterday, including the settle
ment of two of the most interesting
questions brought before the confer
ence-the reports of the committee on
temperance and the committee on the
state of the church in regard to the
ban ON card playing, theatre going,
dancing and other amusements. A
strong political color was given the
discussion on the temperance question
by the bitter arraignment of President
Mckinley because of his attitude on
the anti-canteen law. but after some
decidedly warm debate the conference
refused TO criticise the attitude of the
chief magistrate by striking out, by
an overwhelming vote, all reference 70
any action on his part or that Of At
torney General Griggs. The minority
report on amusements, accepted Satur-
day, was, to the surprise of many
laid on the table, which action leaves
the paragraph in the book Of discip-
Ane exactly as 1t was before the ques-
tion was considered.

Small English Boy Given 50 in Worth

William Welsh. 15-year-Old Eng
lish boy, who has been in America
but a few months, is the victim OF a
mean trick. worked upon him by a
blacksmith's helper by the name of
Richard Mason, in Pocomoke City. The
little Britisher worked a month for
Mason in the blacksmith shop, and the
heartless blacksmith paid the boy off
with a IS Confederate note on the
Bank Of Richmond. Being ignorant OF
American bank bills, the boy took the
bill in good faith. and discovered,
when he arrived In Wilmington this
morning, that it was worthless. II was
through the kindness Of some railroad
employees that the boy arrived in Will
mington, and he was given his break
fast by Maurice Manning, a passenger
brakeman for the Delaware road.
Young Welsh was then placed In the
care of Special Officer John Gordy al
the French street passenger station oi
the p, w. & B. railroad, who assisted
him on his way to Baltimore.
The boy arrived in Baltimore on ;
cattle ship called the Veidmoon, of thu

that the question is. can the Legisla-
ture authorize another railway com,
pany to operate in the city Of Whining
ton, and to that extent revoke the ex-
elusive light Of the Wilmington City
Railway Company?
He remarked that the chancellor has
already decided that that exclusive
right was subject to be revoked by the
granting Of an inconsistent charter to
another company under the charter of
1881, and that the state has, under the
Constitution of 1881, the power OF
revocation. and in the case OF the Will

charter, even II it is not so expressed
therein. the state reserves the power
given it under the Constitution.
