Growth is Slow.

Dallas, Texas, May THE quad
reuuial conference of the NJ. E. Church
South opened here today, Bishop A.
W. Wilson, of Baltimore, calling the
body TO order. All the seats were
represented at the roll call. Governor
Sayers delivered the address of well
come for the state and Mayor Cabell
welcomed the delegates and other
visitors to the city. Bishop Galloway,
OF Mississippi, responded on behalf of
the general conference to all the adj
dresses delivered.
A feature Of today's proceedings was
the reading of the quadrennial address
of the college of bishops by Bishop
Duncan.
The address recites that only 38,0S5
additions to the church have been
made since the last conference and says
something is radically wrong. The
bishop also appealed for a better equip
ped ministry. Politics in the church
publications is strongly condemned
The bishops say the office of d~eaconess
will be applied for, and they entreat
the conference to act wisely and we'll.
An earnest recommendation is made
for the better support Of superannuated
preachers and widows and orphans OF
deceased preachers and that a plan be
adopted whereby a fund of 500, 900
be secured for this purpose. 1t was
shown that the publishing house during
the past four years did a business Of
$1,000, 600 or an increase of S1S6, 900.
The publishing house wal claim was
reviewed, it being claimed that the
church was free from any blame in The
matter. Immediately after the read
ing of the address Bishop Gambler, Of
Georgia, read a letter from Senators
!. D Bacon and A. S. Clay, relative
the course which should be pursued
. the Methodist church in regard Il
be money which was paid under acr
II congress ia settlement Of the wal
claim Of the publishing house. This
letter was signed BY eight senators.
The letter says IN part

from an ordinary cast iron tube thickly
wrapped with copper wire. This tube,
can, of course, be made more cheaply
than the cannon now IN use. No ex-
plOsive gases result from the discharge
of the new gun.
Professor Bierkland's invention has
stirred up great interest among techni-
cal observers, some Of whom are OF
opinion that 1t signifies a greater re-
volution in fighting material thar that
brought about BY the discovery of gun
powder.

HAS PROOF ENOUGH.
Attorney General Grow Stops the Beef
Trust Inquiry.

Jefferson City, May THE hearing
before Chief Justice Burgess of the
Missouri supreme court, to discover
whether or not the beef packers opera
ting In Missouri had formed a combine
to MAINTAIN rates, was brought 10 a
close this afternoon by Attorney Gen.
eral Grow, who stated that he had
sufficient evidence to justify action.
Mr.. Grow thought the evidence adduced
at the first days hearing would have
been ample to prove that a combine
of the packers exists. He, however,
chose to continue the inquiry a second
day in order to hear several witnesses
who had been summoned and were
ready to testify. Mr.. Grow said tonight !;
1.-THE proceedings which will be filed
in court en- banc against the packers in
a few days will probably be 10 the
nature of an custer and the law will be
followed closely which governed the
insurance cases decided by the same
court some years ago. There will be
M escape for the packers on the
ground that the law is not constItu-
tional, as the law was held valid when
the insurance combine was broken up.
The short inquiry on the beef cases
developed more evidence than that
obtained three years ago In the insur-
ance cases."
The date of the hearing will be set
by the court just as soon as the attor-
ney general can prepare the papers in
the SUIT, and it is o presumed that
any time will be lost. The evidence
presented in the preliminary hearing
will then be taken for the suit of custer
and the contention Of the packers that
the inquiry vas not proper will then be
immsterial and will not figure in the
suit which will be an original proceed
ing brought under the antitrust laws.
All Of the evidence taken treats of
operations of the combine in Missouri
and there will be no possibility of hav-
ing the case carried out Of the state.
