Iron and Steel Merchants Discuss Ef-

New York. August 5.-It was said today by iron and steel merchants here that there was no great change in the trade on account of the steel strike, though prices were somewhat higher, and it was becoming difficult to get steel for quick export delivery. They are now accepting foreign orders only subject to such delay as the strike may cause. So far there has been no marked falling off in exports, but a decrease in the volume of foreign busi- ness is expected to show itself soon.

A Fatal Error.

From tho Boston Transcript.
 ''Your services are no longer required!' said the great metropolitan editor to the reporter who had written up a sensation al elopement.
 'Why?" was the startled question.
 Because you wrote up the elopement of the waitress and the janitor without calling one society favorite and the other a man of leisure and a well known club man. Such carelessness for opportu- mites must be punished"

PREACHERS IN LONDON.
Many Americans Expected to Attend
Eeumenical Conference

New York, Aug. 23.-American dele
gates to the Methodist EcuTnenical con-
ferences have begun to arrive in Lon
don and register their names at the
conference book room, City Road, says
a dispatch to the Tribune Several
American bishops are expected and a
large number of ministers. Bishop
Hartzeu who takes a strong probing
lish view of the Boer war, has returned
from Africa to attend the conference
and Bishops Hurst, Vincent and Ham
ilton will also be present when the first
meeting is held early in September
Wesleyan chapel, City Road, will be the
chief center of conference work, but
several meetings viii be held in st.
James hall. Discussion will run on
practical lines of work, characteristic
of Methodism, such as the liquor traf-
fic, gambling, effective preaching. mis-
sions, education and modern Indifferent
tism, and there viii be special debates
on Biblical criticism and Professionalism
versus Sacerdotalism. Hugh Price
Hughes, the most eloquent Wesleyan
preacher in England will be kept away
by i'll health. r. W. Perks, Yerkes' as
sociate in the reformation of under
ground London, will take an active part
in the organization of the conference
and Sir Henry Fowler will preside over
one of the most important meetings A
series of supplementary meetings will
be held in several provincial towns af-
ter the close of conference.

COLOR LINE IN ENGLAND.
Americans Object to Negroes in the
Hotels.

New York, Aug. 23.-An the London
papers publish articles on the objections
of the American patrons of the ST.
Ermins hotel to negroes, and the sub
ject is most discussed in the hotel says
a London dispatch to the Journal and
Advertiser.
Englishmen side theoretically with
the negroes while Americans as a. rule
are outspoken the other way. Bishop
Gaines of Atlanta, one of the negro del
egates to the Ecumenica1s conference,
who caused the protest. is still at the
hotel. He said in an interview: Il have
been staying at this hotel off and on
since the beginning of July and was
never better treated anywhere. I re-
greet exceedingly to hear that trouble
was caused by the arrival of Bishops
Arnett, Tanner and Derrick. was in
Paris when the protest was made
Il have met Americans, even from
Texas, all over the continent and re-
ceiVed warm greetings from them. Dur
ing my trip through Holland, Belgium,
Germany, Switzerland, Italy and
France l had not an insult from an
American or anyone else.
Il sailed from New York on the st.
Louis and was treated like any other
cabin passenger. [ preached on Sunday
at the request of Senator Mitchell of
Oregon, and General GrosvenOr. Amer
lea would be the best country in the
world if it could get rid of its race
prejudice. LabOring white men in Eu-
rope are oppressed as badly as is the
question of law; then the laborer has
the same justice as his richer brother,
especially in Great Britain. I hope to
see the day when it will be the same in
America
w Winfield, manager Of the Anglo
American Bank of New York, one of
the protesting patrons of the st. Ermins
said:
4 do not object personally to Bishop
Gaines or his daughter. who are fine
people. They crossed on the same
steamer with me- and were liked by
every one on board. He is a highly ed
ucated, intelligent man. But with re-
gard to negroes generally I object
strongly to their presence in frst-class
hotels frequented by white people and
protest against the privileges accorded
to them in Europe generally
1T gives me a shock when I see q
beautiful English girl walking at the
side of a negro who is perhaps her hus-
band. AS for the attitude of Hotel
Manager Richardson. I excuse him be-
cause he is an Englishman; if he was
an American nothing on earth would
make him do so. When Europeans get
to know the negro as we know him.
they viii curtai1 his privileges
Manager Richardson said: I have
received numerous written and verbal
MESA ges of congratulation and in
dOrsement of the position have taken
