DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER.


Dallas, Texas. May 12.-Today had
prayer by the members of h Metho-
dist Episcopal church, south. n the
session Of the conference this morning
was unusually short. There was moth
ing to be don In the conference besides
the u order OF business and after
less than two hours of work tbs gather
ing adjourned until lis evening when
the fracternal delegates presented their
addresses from the Methodist Episcopal
church.
The fraternal messengers from the
Northern chuch are Rev. ID. W. C.

n Lieutenant Governor Bates. of Bos-
on.
Bishop Galloway, of Mississippi.
presided today. The committee on tenn
porance handed in a resolution that the
interpolational lesson committee be in
%structed to issue lesson helps on temper
ance.
A resolution for the payment of
travelling expenses of the delegates was
adopted with suspension of the rules.
1t was amended by asserting travelling
expenses of bishops also to be paid.
W. w. Smith. lay delegate from Nir-
ginia, moved a suspension of the rules
for the consideration of a resolution to
adjourn Immediately after the regular
calls for memorials and resolutions.
The resolution was read again by re-
quest n a motion was made TO lay il
on the table. A point of order was rails
ed n sustained by the chair and Mr..
Smith was given the loo He made
an appeal for careful consideration on
the serious matter of the settlement OF
the war claim, and for time in which
to pray and deliberate on the subject.
He believed hat not many were we'll
Informed on all sides of the matter.
AT the night session of the conference
nearly the entire delegation strength
Of the body was present to listen to the
fraternal addresses of the messengers
from the Methodist Episcopal church.
Both messengers made impressive and
brilliant efforts. While neither, in direct
language advocated a reunion of the
two churches as expressed previous 70
the division of 1874, still there were SEN
fences and sentiments that were readi-
ly identified as suggesting the hope Of
such an ultimate result.
From a statement issued by one -
the prominent bishops of the church
late tonight it appears that the first
press dispatches were in error in saying
that the letter of senators to Bishop
Gambler affirmed that the 300 agents
n attorney for the war claim were
innocent of deceptive methods before
the senate. IN the contrary the letter
of the senators is said to declare that
such misleading methods were practiced
by the BOO agents and attorney.
The point of the letter of the senator.
was that the money should not be re-
turned to the government by the church
on accoun of these alleged deceptive
acts of the book agents and attorney;
that the claim was a just claim and
should have been paid, and that the
church was not to be censured On ac-
count of these acts.

pressing their thanks for the marks of
sympathy which have reached Their

Of ST. Vincent and, perhaps others in
that region. ale also seriously menaced
by the calamity which has taken so
appalling a form in Martinique.
I nave directed the departments of
the treasury, Ot war n Of the navy
to take such measures for the relief of
these stricken people as lies within
their executive discretion. and earnest
ly commend this case of u~nexampled
disaster to the generous consideration
of congress. For this purpose i recon-
mend hat an appropriation of $500, 900
be made. to b. Immediately available.

tirely through the home mission board.

THE STRIKERS REMAIN FIRM
1he Beginning of the Eleventh Week of the Anthracite Miners Strike Shows
 No Change.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 27.-The be. ginning of the eleventh week of the anthracite mines strike nnds ap, parently no change in the situation. although the rumor has been revived that an effort will be made some day this week, upon the part of one of the large companies, to start up one of their collieries. The companies have a sufficient number of coal and iron policemen enlisted now to pre- ve t trouble, should it aris., ;.n,. all that would be net 'ssary to get mine in operation would be a sutfl- cient number of miners anl laborers to blast the cocI and load 1t on the cars. No doubt plenty O. ordinary laborers could be secured, but it is a q estion whether tLe requisit num- Der of miners could be persuaded to go into the workings.
 At strike headquarters the belief is as strong as fvec t.1at the operators can not resume, and tn It is idle talk to even suggest such thing.
 President Mitchell simply says that the situation is about the same and that the strikers are as firm as ever
 Three hundred de.egates, represent ing the 10000 Polish and Lithuanian residents or he Wyoming valley, met in convention here o-day, and :-ter indorsing the strike appointed a com mittee of ten to visit New York, Phil adelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo and oth- CT large cities and solicit aid from the Polish and Lithuanian people for their countrym,n now on strike in the anthracit region.
