METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Very Little Business Transacted ut yes-
 terday's Session.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 11.-Practical- ly no business was transacted by the Methodist general conference to-day. The early morning session was devoted entirely to a consideration of the re- port of the committee on rules. The reading and debating of the various sections governing the manner of trans- acting business on the floor of the con- ference took up the time until recess, at which time the report was left un- finished. Many sharp passages at arms between the parliamentary experts somewhat enlivened an otherwise dull and featureless session.
 After recess the duty of receiving and welcoming fraternal delegates, which was not completed at yesterdays ses- sion, was taken up and addresses were made by Rev. William Dobson, frater- nal delegate from Canada, and Rev. J. C. Kilgore, of the Methodist Episcopal church south.

 Drawn up on the vast plain were 40,- 900 of the finest troops in the empire and behind them were great parks of artillery, while back into the radiating streets as far as the eye could see were the f1uttering pennants of the splendid cavalry.
 A tribune had been erected in which sat the members of the diplomatic corps, prominent among whom was Ambassa- dor Mccormick, accompanied by Mrs. Mccormick. Several other invited guests also had seats in the tribune.
 The empress and the empress mother rode in an open state carriage with Cis- sack footmen and drawn by six white stallions.
 On the appearance of the emperor the standards were lifted, the bands burst forth and tens Of thousands of threats roared a welcome.
 Like shuttle the cortege passed back and forth as the emperor inspected the various regiments Good day, my children was his universal greeting. Good health, your imperial majesty" was the unfailing response. ! The review concluded with the re- nowned charge of ten thousand cavalry across the plain.
 Grand Duke Michael, the heir pres sumptive to the Russian throne, march, ed with one of the foot guard regi- ments, of which he is lieutenant.

man Judge PEBBLES is willing to have

agreement with this.
