THE Ecumenical Conference now
being held in City Roads Chapel, the
home church of John Wesley, is COM
posed of representatives of all nations
and climes. The object of the Confer
ence is more for Christian unity than
to establish creeds or doctrines, for
the different branches of Methodism,
some eighteen in all have little or no
difference in their faith. They believe
in Christ's divinity, and mans sin
fulness and need of a Savior. They
sometimes find it necessary to stand
on their dignity. Thus, the other
day, they unanimously declined to
hear the secretary read the message Of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, in
which he expressed the hope that
some day the Methodists would be
united with the Episcopal church, and
on similar import, the message of the
Bishop of London, on the ground that
they had been addressed to the editor
of religious newspaper and not to
the Conference.
Rev. L. Bowman Stephenson, of
England, in moving that the messag ges
should not be received, said that the
Conference would not have had cause
to complain had the prelates been ap-
preached in a proper manner. Dis
cussing the present position of Meth
odism. Rev. L. E. buckles, of King
Williams Town, Cape Colony, went
into the relations between the South
African natives and the Europeans.
He said that he believed the war would
purify the administration of the ma
tives.
Bishop Hartzell, missionary bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Africa, said the present time was the
beginning of another empire of Anglo.
Saxon civilization. The war was
merely an incident. DIR. Leonard, OF
New York, thanked God for what the
British are doing in South Africa, and
expressed the hope that the war would
soon end with the Union Jack floating

Charles william, of Kentucky, and
Charles Wilson, of Media, Pa, held up
George Macklin of Milford Thursday
night and robbed him of consider
able sum of money. Within an hour
Chief of Police Thomas had placed the
men under arrest and Friday they were
taken before Justice Folke, who com
mitted them to Dover Jail in default of
$1,000 bail. Wilson answers the de-
scription of a murderer wanted at
Media, Pa. Both prisoners carried
revolvers and skeleton keys. They
told the Justice they came down to
Delaware to make money by being
accused of murder.

THE steamer Twilight, plying be-
tween Philadelphia and Trenton, was
sunk in the Delaware, about two miles
below Trenton, Sunday, while bound
for that city. All the passengers were
taken ashore without mishap in life
boats and row boats. 1t is thought
the Twilight struck a rock or log
which stove a hole in her hull.
The Twilight, it will be remembered,
was contesting the route with the City
of Trenton, which blew up the Sunday
previous.

Stood Death Off.

E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Henrlet-
ia, Tex, once fooled a grave-digger.
He says: "My brother was very low
with malarial fever and jaundice. 1
persuaded him to try Electric Bitters,
and he was soon much better, but con-
tinued their use until he was wholly
cured. L am sure Electric Bitters
saved his life." This remedy expels
malaria, kills disease germs and puri-
fies the blood; aids digestion, regulates
liver, kidneys aud bowels, cures con-
stipation, dyspepsia, nervous diseases,
kidney troubles, female complaints

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY visited the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo,
Thursday and Friday. To the Exposi-
tiOn, whose success is already assured,
these two were "big" days. OF course
he had to make a speech on Thursday.
the day before he was shot. Passing
by the compliments incident to speech
on snch occasions, there were allu-
sions to Governmental policy that were
sure to attract attention. Those por-
tions of his speech which deal with the
tariff and subsidies will attract the
greater share of public attention. On
tariff he admitted that the healthful
growth of our export trade must de-
pend upon better facilities for the mu-
tual exchange of commodities. On
the question of subsidies and the COM
pletion OF the isthmian canal, he was
universally direct and explicit. He il
in favor of both; and the country may
know what to expect when he sends
his next message to Congress.

SMYRNA, like any other community
in the United States, or the world, as
for that, was shocked Friday at the re-
ported shooting of President McKin-
ley. The first impression, about FIVE
O'Clock was that he was fatally wounded
and the last telegram just before bed
time stated that he could not live an
hour. The news the next morning
however, was that he was not only
alive but had passed fairly good night
and the physicians were more hope
full. We were assured that if peritoni-
tbs or blood poisoning did not set in
for 4s hours, there was the best reason
to believe that he would 'pull through. J"
Fortunately, there has been no ap-
pearance of either of these, and though
he was seriously wounded by the two
bullets, the doctors believe that his
good constitution and better habits
give an assurance of his recovery.
The story Of the attempted assassina-
tion is long one, taking several col
umns of the daily papers each day
since. 1t is sufficient for Us to know
that under Gods Providence the OBJ
Ject of the assassin to strike down
good government did not succeed.
The name of the wretch is Leon
Czolgosz, and not Fred Nieman, as
was previously given, 2S years old, of
Polish origin, an avowed anarchist.
He announced that he had "simply
done his duty" He admitted to hav-
ing been fired up to this point by lis
tening to an Anarchistic address by
-Emma Goldman. He was arrested be-
fore he could fire another bullet, and
will be held for trial Saturday would
have been a gloomy day but for the
hope the president would recover.
Sunday the pulpits of the natior
spoke with no uncertain sound. Nortl
and South, East and West prayers
went up from pulpits that the life o1
President Mckinley would be spared
Mingled with the expressions of a Ma
tion's hopes and fears were deuuncia
tions of the assassin and calls TO
stamping ont anarchy.
In answer to a proclamation issued
on Saturday by Mayor Van Wyck, o
New York churches of all denomina.
tions in the city offered prayers for tn
Presidents recovery.
At a service in the church attende,
by President Mckinley when IN Wash
ington, the Rev. DIR. NaylOr, in hi
sermon, said that the attempt on tn
Presidents life had almost converte'
him into an advocate of lynch law.
The latest news from the Presiden
is that his condition is most hopeful
The bullet that struck his breast bon
glanced off, but the one that passe
through both walls of the stomach ha
not been found. The hole through til
stomach was sewed up and he is in
proving finely.

Correct Way to Name the Man Who Tried
TO Kill the President.
The name of the man Czolgosz, who
shot President Mckinley, offers a
problem in pronunciation says the
New York Sun, to nine-tenths of those
who attempt to speak it. 1t is one of
those names which the English Ian
guage cannot spell phonetically and
which the average English-speaking
person stumbles over in try
ing to express after hearing it spoken
by Russian. Written according to
its sound, the name of CzolgOsz, or its
nearest equivalent, is "Tchollgosch, "
or more broadly speaking, "Sholl-
gosch."

Mr.. SHAFRoTH of Colorado has
introduced a bill of general inter
est to the West. 1t provides for
the construction of reservoires in
the arid land states and for tie
disposal of the public lands re-
claimed thereby, directing the ge-
illogical survey to make accurate
surveys of at least four practical
reservoir sites and of the irrigat-
ing bitches leading to the reser-
voirs and to the public lands to be
irrigated therefrom in each of the
arid land states of the United
States. The secretary of the inte-
rior is to build these reservoirs and
sell the irrigated lands at $3.50 an
acre. Sl3,oo0000 is appropriated
to begin the work.

ANOTHER STRIKE PROBABLE.
Coal Miners in Outlying Camps to
Hold a rlass Meeting.

What now seems to be the be-,
ginning of another strike of inn
mense proportions is about to
occur at the coal camps. The
Colorado Fuel & Iron company
has, for some time, been supply
ing the orders from the production
of the coal mines in the outlying
district, which were formerly sup
piled from the coal mines at Ere.
The miners heIeabouts are not 90
ing to stand for this kind of work
and have called general mass
meeting for Sunday afternoon,
at which time the matter will be
thoroughly discussed and it is
likely that strike will be ordered
if the company does not discon-
tinue shipping the coal to the
northern part of the state and sup
plying such orders as should be
filed from the mines in the North
ern district
Whether or not strike will be
declared is not known 1t depends
largely on what reply will be given
them by the representatives of the
company. All coal miners have
sympathy for their fellow work
man and if some provisions are not
made for the protection of the
miners in the Northern district,
undoubtedly the coal mines at
Coal Creek, Rockvale, Brookside
and Fremont will not be working
next week

Kid Dooly who is to meet Park

Young Corbett has repeatedly re-
fused to meet Dooly it looks like
Parker has undertaken a tough

Billy Edwards is in receipt of
communications from Rocky Ford,

who want Parker to appear there.
Edwards says he is quite favorably
impressed with Florence and may
locate here in case he can secure a
business suitable to him.
The Denver public is about to

Something Coming Up.

The TRIBUNE has had tip
and 1t isn't dream either. A
gentleman we'll known by many
was heard to say that his advice
to prospective real estate pur-
chasers would be to go ahead, as
he believes that within three years
there will be great demand for
every inch of Arkansas valley soil
from Canon City to Pueblo and
more particularly in the vicinity
of Florence. He meant by this
that something was to be located
in this neigh borhood which would
mean the outlay of several thou
sand dollars, Although this paper
is not at liberty to mention any
names, suffice to say that the
capital of the company which the
gentleman represents runs up to
the millions and is always behind
any enterprise that would be of
advantage to Florence. The big
thing is on. 'Nuf 'ced
