TOO MANY OLD MINISTER'S.
Bishop Merrill Says Wyoming Confer
ence Is Crowded.

Waverly, y. Y, April 22.-The morn
ing session of the Wyoming conference
Of the NJ. e. church was opened with
prayer by the Rev. ]. l.. Race, DR..
| Tuckley, who took a vacation last
year and went abroad because of poor
health, was restored to effective rela-
tionship. No changes were made in
the superannuated list.
The Rev. G. II. Davis lost 500 in
the recent food, large part of which
consisted of benevolences. By order
the conference excused him from pay
ing the amount.
Bishop Merrill said that this con-
ference is no exception to many others
in that it is crowded. Il cannot un-
derstand.' said he, what the Lord
wants of so many Methodist ministers.
Perhaps He wants all the people to
have a Methodist training. Some
times one of our young preachers goes
to another denomination and the news
papers herald it as an evidence that we
are unable to hold our young men. |
am thankful that belong to a church
that can raise up young men enough
for its own pulpits and give a few to
other churches. 1t becomes difficult
to provide places for the old men, the
churches demanding young men. We
have room for a few young men and
only a few unless some of the good
old brothers die and make room. We
have a number of charges that pay too
small salaries. This makes it impos-
sible to give all young men the appoint
ments they desire. This should be re-
membered and remedied in admitting
men into the conference"
The following were admitted on
trial: c. E. Waldron, ]. w. Coleman
and A. A. Calender. On motion Of
DIR. Sprague a resolution was adopted
changing the charter of Wyoming SEM
mary providing for a large board OF
trustees.
BY vote of 109 to "a the conference
decided to reduce the number of pre-
siding elder districts in the conference
from to 5. to take effect next year.
A commission was appointed to fix
the nav district boundaries and to re-
port at the next conference.

Commission Amends Rules to
Conform With New Code.

not Be Removed Except Upon
Charges - Where a Veterans Posi-
ton Is Abolished His Name Must Be
Entered as Suspended Employe."
Albany, April 22.-The state civil
service commission has amended its
rules to conform with the changes in
the law made by the Ellsworth vet
Grams preference law, and also to
make them conform with recent rul.
ings of the courts, particularly in the
section defining a laborer's position
The supreme court has ruled that in
determining whether or not position
shall be classified as a laborers, the
work done, rather than the title given
or the compensation paid is the vital
point. The decision, however, init
mates that the compensation paid
may be indicative of the fact" The
commission has modified its rules to
provide that mo persons are to be
rated laborers, exempt from competi.
tion. unless proven by heads of depart.
ments to be unslilled laborers who re.
ceive more than 50 a day or $50 q
month. The beard claims that there
has been great evasion Of the civil
service rules by reason of the ap
pointment of persons as laborers, SO
called, to positions actually in the
competitive class.
The amendment caused by the Ellis.
worth law eXempts veterans from the
rule as to probation by appointments.
The removal of veteran is also pro.
hibited except upon charges of in
competency or misconduct
Where a veterans position is abol.
ished or becomes unnecessary 1t is
made mandatory that where another
place cannot be provided the veterans
name shall be entered on a list Of
suspended employees" for the purpose
of Certifcation to a similar position
in any branch of the state or munich
pal service.
The state commission has exempted
from competition the following posi-.
tions: Cashier in office of register,
New York county; one notorial clerk
in the Office of the county clerk Of
New York county, confidential ste.
nographer to the deputy state comp.
troller, three keepers of the Erie coun-
ty moTgue.

On the question in the house on the
adoption Of the Cuban reciprocity bill
q Republicans voted with the entire
Democratic membership to amend the
bill by removing the differential from
refined sugar The chair (Mr. Sherman
of New York; declared the amendment
out OF order, but he was overruled by
a vote of 130 to III, and as amended
the bill was passed.
An analysis of the vote shows that
12i Republicans and 1923 Democrats
voted for the amended bill and AZ Re
publicans and 10 Democrats against it.
Mr.. GrosveneT, was one of those who
voted against the bill.
The bill as passed authorizes the
president as soon as may be after the
establishment of an Independent gov
ernment in Cuba and the enactment by
said government of immigration, ex,
clusion and contract labor laws as
restrictive as those of United States,
TO negotiate a reciprocal trade agree
ment with Cuba by which in return for
equivalent concessions the United
States shall grant a reduction of 20
per cent from the Dingley rates on
goods coming into the United States
from Cuba, such agreement to last un-
til December /, 1908. During the eX-
istence of such agreement the duty on
refined sugars and all sugars above No.
l6 Dutch standard is TO be 1926 cents
per pound, instead of 1885 as under the
Dingley schedule.
Merger of Steamship Lines.
Clement a. Griscom of Philadel-
phia, president of the international
Navigation company, one of the five
transatlantic steamship companies
which have been merged under the di-
rection of ]. p. Morgan, talked freely
concerning the consolidation. its pur-
poses and probable effects. Mr.. Girls
com said he was unable to speak def
nitely regarding the financial plan, as
that was a matter for the considera-
tion Of Mr.. Morgan and his partners,
which will perhaps be decided on with
i'm the next two weeks. In any event,
President Griscom said that the con-
solidated companies would probably
be in operation under the new condi-
tions within few months.
"The consolidation, declared Mr..
Griscom, will result in better trans
atlantic service, steadier and more uni
form rates, a just distribution Of traf-
fic over all American and Canadian
seaports, increased lines on the Pa.

Investigating Beef Trust.

ibNN1tSNNl'S CS~l ''HSt
Attorney General Davies is in New
York to conduct an investigation
into the charges which have ap-
peared in print of late that combina-
tion Of the big beef packers of the
country have forced up the price Of
meats.
OF his investigation Mr.. Davies said:
Il have received many letters from
different sections of the state. All of
the writer's complain of the present
difficulty of supplying meat to their
families. They ask me if can not do
something to relieve them.
Before left Albany talked over
the meat situation with the governor.
He is willing to indorse any step
may take looking to the relief of the
citizens of the state. Both the COVER
nor and | are interested in the ques-
tion because of additional cost the
rise in prices of meat will bring to the
maintenance of the state institutions
as well as to private families.
81 am not at liberty to tell the re-
suits of my investigations. can only
say that as far as my investigations
have gone it looks very much as if the
packers had exceeded their legal pow
ers. If any criminalty is found the
proper authorities shall be instructed
to bring proceedings against them
Higher Prices For Food.
Prices of all kinds, but particularly
beef, hog products and butter, have
been advanced ostensibly and appar-
emily because of reduced receipts.
Cattle and hog prices at Chicago are
the highest reached in years and re-
ceipts are the smallest.
Nothing like the present activity in
Eailding is recalled for at least de-
cade past, and lumber and kindred ma
terials are very active at most mar
kets.
The strength of raw cotton and re-
cent advances in wages make for
strength In cotton goods. The market
is dull at New York for immediate
business, but a large business has
been booked for fall delivery. The un-
satisfactory position Of the yarn trade
lends interest to the talk Of a combi-
nation of Southern producers.
