BAPTIST QUOTES H0AR
AS CHANGING FRONT
Rev. Dr. Hoyt Said He Made an Expan-
sion Speech Some Five
Years Ago.

DETROIT, May 2S.-Expansion senti-
ment was rife at the missionary mass
meeting held last night, as one of the
features of the American Baptist mis-
sionaries. DIR. Wayland Hoyt, of Phila-
delphia, began his address on the sub
ject of Denomination Expansion In
Regard to the Baptist Publication Soci-
ety." by quoting from speech deliv-
cred by Senator Hoar at children's S day
celebration i'll Massachusetts, some five
years ago, at which time the anti-im-
perialist statesman is reported to have
said that the tree of liberty and self
government set out by the fathers of
the republic, having spread across the
continent, its roots would 'in good time
thrust themselves beneath the waves
and spread to the isles of the sea-.
"This prediction" said Dr. Hoyt,
"came true more quickly than the dis
tinguished senator anticipated and evi-
IDENTIFY more quickly than he desired. If
it is true that he made this eloquent and
logical statement in 1895, 100 anti-ex-
pansion speeches made in 1900 could
not efface the effect of that truthful pre-
diction."
DR.. Hoyt argued eloquently for ex-
pansion in missionary effort, keeping
pace at least with the progress of the
American flag,
Madison @. Peters, of New York,
also argued strongly for political and
religious expansion in his address con-
cerning expansion of the work of the
Baptist Home Mission society.
Rev. Theodore G.. Soares, PHI D., of
Illinois, spoke along similar lines in re-
lation to the work of the Baptist Mis-
sionary (Foreign) union.
One of the Sunday features was the
dedication of the new missionary chapel
car "Herald Of Hope" The car is the
sixth placed in service by the Baptists
of America within the past six years,
the expense of which has been sustained
wholly by free will offerings

PRICES GET1i1, r NATURAL.
Is Getting Down TO
Solid Basis

New YORK, May &c. r.. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade, issued to-
day, said in part:
Transition to more natural range of
prices after time of extraordinary buy
ing, speculation and rise, is not wholly
dclghtSome, however needful it may be
business health. But the gradual
change this year, though wearying has
given opportunity in various branches
to avoid losses. 1t is nearly six months
since the highest prices of pig iron were
reached, Nov. 49, and of wool, Dec. /,
while hides reached their maximum
Dec. 13, leather and iron products Jan.
10, boots and shoes Jan. "a, woolens
Feb. 81, and cotton and cotton goods
March21.
The tables given by this paper have
shown that the highest point for all
prices was March 16, and after two
months of slow decline the range for all
prices was but As per cent lower May
l6. But the past week has added its
full share, fall of AZ per cent in cot.
ton, per cent in pig iron, 1.5 per cent
in pig iron products, per cent in hides,
219 i'll boots and shoes, and 315 in leath.
er, 80 in petroleum, and little in 9th.
er products.
The decline in cotton was rendered
sensational by the failure of the firm
which had most strongly resisted it.
Weakness in wool, as yet not enough
to prompt heavy buying, has hindered
free purchases of goods without doubt,
and there is of late somewhat more com.
plant of cancellations and of slow col.
lections. But the market is waiting
rather than unhealthy, with quick ad.
justment to lower range of prices for
material it might soon become as active
as at any other time for years.
The nominal price of Bessemer pig is
held without change at Pittsburg, and
without transactions. Bessemer is Of
fered much below the $24 80 asked by
the association, while prices of finished
products of iron and steel have declined
more than 10 per cent within tive
months without any reduction in rails,
structural shapes or in sheets. No.
Lehigh pig is quoted here at S21 and the
best anthracite $22 at Philadelphia But
doubt about sufficient supplies of steel.
making iron for coming months seems
the one impediment to renewal of activ.
ity. Tin is also a shade lower, with
copper and lead unchanged this week
Sales of Connellsville coke come below
prices recently quoted and exhibit in q
strong light the change in the manufac.
ture of iron.
The movement of breadstuffs has not
materially changed, Atlantic exports of
wheat, -four included, having been in
four weeks 10,4O5, 1897 bushels against
1867, 1866 last year; Pacific exports,
2,791,79 against 1889, 7O3 last year,
and exports Of corn 1897, ,631, against
10,267,662 last year. Prices have
changed very little.
Failures for the week have been l85
in the United States, against 142 last
year, and 20 i'll Canada. against 16 last
year.

VOTED 1T DOWN.
CENSURE OF M'KlNLEY FAILED TO
PASS M. {. CONFERENCE.

The Minority Report on Amusements,
Which Had Been Accepted at Satur-
days Session, Was Laid ON the Table.
Leaves Amusement Clause the Same.
CHICAGO. Nay 29.--With three bust
less sessions, the quadrennial conven-
ton of tho Methodist Episcopal church,
which for month has been sitting
here considering great questions affect
ing the welfare of that denomination,
practically came to close.
Today's session is expected to be but
little more than a formality, and many
of the delegates left for their homes last
night.
A strong political color was gwen the
discussion on the temperance question
Monday by the bitter arraignment of
President Mckinley because of his at
titudo on the anti -canteen law, but
after some decidedly warm debate the
conference refused to criticise the atti-
tude of the chief magistrate by striking
out by anNoverwhelming vote all refer
ence to any action on his part or that of
Attorney General Griggs. The mi
nority report on amusemonts, accepted
Saturday, was to the surprise of many
laid on the table, which action leaves
the paragraph in the book of discipline
exactly as it was before the question
was considered.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-By the laying on
of the hands of 12 bishops and in the
presence of 5000 persons, at the Audi
torium, four new bishops of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church were consecreated.
The newly consecrcrated bishops are;
David Hastings Moore, assigned to the
Shanghai district; John William Ham,
ilton, assigned to the San Francisco
district Edwin Wallace Parker and
Frank Wesley Warnc, missionary bishops
assigned 20 India and Malaysia. The
ceremonies were brief and simple, The
delegates 10 the conference and hundreds
of their friends came forward when the
services were at an end, and crowded the
stagcto congratulate the four new bishops.
