Misguided Benevolence.

The bishop referred to the misguided
benevolence of number of Americans,
who think that the best thing possible
for Japan is to bring over as many of
her young men as possible to this coun-
try, and, after passing them through
the great universities, send them back
to reform things. These young men
go back absolutely untitled to be OF any
real service to their country, he said,
the great gulf between the two civiliza-
tions being far too great for them to
span.
The proper thing, he said, is to edu-
cate the young men in the institutions
which the church is supporting in their
own country. The fundamental idea in
educating the Japanese should be not
to seek to wipe away at one fell sweep
all the superstitions of the ages. but
rather to find what the longing which
those superstitions satisfy is, and seek
to crafty it by other means. The
bishop closed his delightful talk by
giving some most amusing illustra-
tions of the great difficulty found in
translating English into Japanese, be-
cause of the circumlocutory way the
people have of expressing themselves.
Ewing l.. Miller, of the Church club,
of Philadelphia, spoke briefly on "The
Layman in the Diocese" his principal
thought being that the layman needs
to bring loyalty to the history and ira
ditions of the church, constant activity,
thorough devotion and the
best intelligence to his service for the
church. He referred to the diocesan
and expressed the hope
that the day will soon come when they
will become great missionary confer
ences, instead Of meetings for the pur-
pose of tinliering with the canons.

The Recent Conference.

Colonel w. Fred Reynolds. of Belle
fonte, was to have given his impress
sions of the recent missionary confer
ence at Philadelphia, but he was un-
able to be present, and the subject
was assigned to William r. Butler, Of
Mauch Chunk, who declared that the
most important lesson taught by the
conference was that the progress of
the church depends not on the house
of bishops, or the clergy, but on the
laity--the lesson of the laymans indi-
vidual responsibility before Almighty
God.
Bishop Mann contented himself with
expressing pleasure at being present,
and Bishop Talbot finished the speech
making with brief talk, in which he
expressed his great pride at the pro-
gress made by the church in this city.
Prior to the banquet a brief business
session was conducted at which it was
decided to join the national federation
of church clubs.

TO FILE BEEF BILL TODAY
MEAT TO RETAILERS GROWS POORER,
But PRICES REMAIN THE SAME.
Try TELEGRAPH To THE rmHrNEI

Chicago, May 9.-It is the governments pres
ent intention to file the bill for an injunction
against the packers in the Federal Court to-
morrow morning. Mr.. Bethea expects 10 re
ceive printed copies of the bill through the mails
in the morning and he will then go before Judge
Grosscup and present the case. The Federal
Court adjourns on Saturdays at l o'clock. and
the bill must be presented not later than that
hour in order TO have action taken.
At the hour of the filing. copies of the bill will
be given to the attorneys of the packers, and
then the text of the governments side of the
question will be made public
The retail butchers of the city complain
ing that the stock that the packers are now
furnishing is not up to grade. The prices. they
say are the same as they have been but the
beef is what they call ''embalmcd." The letters
that have gone out from commission men to the
shippers advising them not to send cattle 70
the market during the present agitation have
had effect. the retailers say. and the meat that
is being sold to them is cold storage stock
of dubious quality.
The small market men have protested To the
packers spurred by their customers. who have
noticed the inferior quality of the meat The
packers have replied 10 the complaints of the
retailers. but have said simply that conditions
of the trade are such that they are compelled TO
draw on their reserve stock.
Mr. Bethea said to-day that Attorney General
Knox did not make any changes of importance
in the bill prepared in Chicago. He added;
There were a few, changes in words hut they
were of a trend to strengthen in a legal sense
the charges which framed There is an Inn
preston that Mr.. Knox sought to soften the
charges. The reverse is true. We hope to-
morrow 10 let the public know the full details
of investigation and the facts upon which
the government Will base its suit The case is
strong.
Mr.. Bethea refused to say whether he had
received any recen, kilograms or letters written
by the packers agents thst would prove the
governments case. The correspondence in ques-
tion is said to have taken place between agents
of Swift & Co. and Libby. Mcneil X Libby. and
relates the fixing of prices at different points.
AS these two concerns really Under one
management il is admitted that no conspiracy
could be shown that would come within the law.

The fremen announced to- night that they also
