GOLD SHIPMENTS.
s5,ooO,OOO to Go From New York on
 To-day's steamers.

New York, May 1S.-Two announce ments of gold engagements for to-mor- rows steamers have been deferred and the total for that day is now placed at s. .OOO. .0OO, of which $S5OO,0OO is to be shipped by J. P. Morgan & Co. and 8, ,50O, ,OOO by Lazard Freres. To-day's announcements for Tuesdays steamers included $1,5OOOOO by Lazard F'reres, S1 ,0OO, ,OOO by Heidelbach, Iekelheimer & Co., g., 100000 by J. P. Morgan & Co.,, s2, ,O0o,OOO by the City bank and an en- gagement of s1,OOO,OOO by bank whose name has been withheld, although the fact of the shipment was given out at the assay office.
 The recent large shipments of gold to Paris have attracted attention to the small supply of gold at the assay office. Tt is understood that gold bars to the value of about $S,OOO,O0o will remain on hand after Tuesdays shipment, the re- cent shipment of gold bars valued at $15, ,0O0, 900 to the Philadelphia mint for coinage into eagles having depleted the stock. Other available gold will, how ever, bring the total up to $10,OOO,0OO or more within a very short time, but the present supply is understood to be low record.

sAroLLps PROPOSED VISIT.
Not Coming to United States to Settle
 Disputes

Washington, May 13.-Monsignor Fall conio, the papal representative at Washington, to-day made the following statement regarding the proposed visit of Cardinal Satolli to America:
 We are authoritatively informed that there is no truth whatever in the current report regarding the object of Cardinal Satolli's proposed visit to Am erica, namely, to settle disputes which have arisen in ecclesiastical circles on account of the alleged American spirit of liberty and the absolutism of Rome.
 There is no friction whatever be- tween the apostolic delegates and the American heirarchy. The American bishops are united and in perfect ac- cord with the views of the Holy Father and Rome is not apprehensive that they will ever be otherwise"

YOUNG WENTZ LEFT A MILL
EXECUTED BUT 4 FEY DAYS BE-
 FORE HIS DEATH.

Fact Lends Color to the Theory of Sui-
 cide-His Brothers Wife the Bene-
 fciary-But Recently Received q For
 tune of Between Two and Three Hum
 dred Thousand Dollars from His
 Uncle.
 Bristol, Va, May 1S.-It appears to- night that the late E. L. Wentz left a will executed only a few days pre- vious to his death, in which he leaves his entire fortune to Mrs. D. B. Wentz, wife of the brother with whom he was so closely associated through the years of their residence at Big Stone Gap. The report that the will of Wentz had been found and that it bears a date only a few days prior to his tragic death, lends color to the theory of sui- eide now firmly believed by many of those most conversant with the facts.
 The fact that the will was discovered was first made pubic to-day, but there is reliable information to the effect that it was Bound by his family some time since.
 Mrs. D. B. Wentz, his brothers wife, is said to be the chief, if not the sole, beneficiary under the will. A short time previously MT. Wentz had receiv- ed a fortune of between two and three hundred thousand dollars by bequest of an uncle for whom he was named and it is this which passes by the will.

 London, May 14-It Is impossible to dentify many of the Russianized Chi @ise names given in the Russian staff accounts of the Japanese advance in .lanchuria.
 General Kuroki's boldness in pushing ;n is commented on here as showing bat he believes General Kuropatkin's prces are much weaker than they are epresented.
 The partial destruction of Dalny is egarded as showing that the Russians anticipate that the Japanese will make determined attempt to capture Port 8rthur, while, owing to the moral eff Bet the fall of the stronghold would lave on Russian prestige, an equally etermined resistance will be made. sMukden, May 1S.-Pu La Tien, near Mort Adams, Liao Tung peninsula, has Fen occupied by the Japanese.

FIREIN MINING. ROOM.
That of the Seamless Rubber Company
 Burned Out.

burucU Outs
 A fire occurred in the mixing room of the Seamless Rubber company about 4:30 yesterday afternoon which burned the interior of that room completely out and which, but for the prompt work on the part of the department and the employees of the firm would have un- doubtedly been a pretty serious blaze. It is thought that some of the com bustable material in the room became ignited from the friction of one of the wheels of the machinery. It was only a minute after the start that the entire interior oe the place was on fire. The room where the fire occurred is little separate out building, although it is only a very short distance from the rest of the shop, which is at the corner of Congress avenue and Daggett streets, and in less than two minutes after the discovery of the fire the iron shutters were all closed on the doors and win dows os the other shops. They are all of brick so that no fire could get into them.
 The alarm was rung by Henry Ho- -acker. who is an employe in the mix ing room. and who was in the room when the fire started. Superintendent Murray said that he had no idea how much the damage would amount to, all though it was estimated by others that it was between $500 and $1,000.
 4 tank, which was filled with several hundred gallons of naphtha Wednesday was within about six feet of the room which was on fire, but as the tank is a heavy iron one it did not explode, all though it was feared that it would.

GENERAL M, E. CONFERENCE
TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS DIS-
 POSED OF YESTERDAY.
status and Relationship of superannu- ated Bishops to Church Settled After Stirring Debate-Dr. Buckley Has His way--Congregations Owning Edifces Costing More Than s1o,ooo Deprived of Right to Ask Financial Aid of the Church Extension Board.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 1S.-The Meth odist general conference can now be said to be fairly launched upon the work of legislating in the interests of the church at large. The matters of much importance affecting the admin listrative work of the church were dis posed of at to-day's session. One was the rather delicate duty of the E,pisco- pacy committee in fixing the status and relationship of superannuated bishops to the church, and the other rule re- ported by the board of church extension and adopted by the conference, depriv- Ing certain congregations owning cer- tain churches costing more than $1o,- 900 of the right to apply to that board for financial assistance. These two matters together with the completion of the rules of order, occupied the entire session.
 The Episcopacy committees report caused a stirring debate, participated in by the conspicuous figures of the conference. The paragraph that pro- voked discussion reads as follows: "A superannuated general superintendent is relieved from the obligation to travel through his connection at large and may choose tn eplace of his residence. He shall not be assigned to the presi- Edency of annual conferences, nor make appointments, but if requested by bishop presiding, he may take the chair temporarily in a general or an- nual conference and at the request of the bishop presiding in the annual con- ference he may ordain candidates pre- viously elected to orders''
 i Dr. A. B. Leonard offered an amend ment to strike out all after the word residence and substitute He may per- form temporarily, upon invitation of a general superintendent, any function that belongs to a general superinten- dent except make appointments.'
 This amendment was supported by Judges Lohr and Warnock, lay dele gates, and Drs. A. B. Leonard and Lytle.
 Two speeches only were made in fa- vor of the adoption of the report as presented by Dr. Buckley, president of the Episcopacy committee. They were by Dr. J. M. Buckley and Dr. L. B. Medley. While at first there seemed to be a strong sentiment in favor of Dr. Leonard's amendment, when Dr. Buck ] ley Finished a ten minutes speech in favor of the adoption of the commit tees report, the vote was practically unanimous in favor of it's adoption.
