WILL CONSIDER UNION
OF METHODIST CHURCHES
General Conference Meets Tomorrow
at Saratoga Springs to Dis
cuss Big Question.

An organic union of the Methodist
Episcopal Church with the Methodist
Episcopal Church South will be one of
the most important matters that will
come before the twenty-seventh delegated
duadrennisl session of the General Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church when 1t convenes tomorrow at
Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
Since 1874, when the Methodist churches
Of the North and South split over the
question Of slave-holding, separate
church bodies have existed. A reunion
of the two branches has been under con-
sideration for some time. The question
whether the church will elect bishops for
distinct races and languages will also
be considered.
There will be 800 ministers and laymen
elected by 1873 annual conferences, at the
general conference to review the work OF
the church and revise and augment leg
islation.

OLD LAW IS THE CAUSE

The District Commissioners. IL became
known YESTERDAY, have asked Congress.
through the Treasury Department for
5000 with which to conduct a house-to-
house canvass of the city to determine
how many male citizens between the
ages OF IS and IS years would be eligible
for military service in the District Ma
tional Guard IL an emergency arose.
Two months ago Brig. Gen. William
e. Harvey, commander of the District
National Guard, dug from the Congres-
sional records a law passed nearly forty
years ago, which provided that the COM
missioners should secure for the COM
mander OF the National Guard a list Of
all citizens between the ages of is and
Is who would be eligible for military
service. After investigation, Corporation
Counsel Conrad II. Syme held that the
law was stis in force.
Commissioner Newman said yesterday
that the reques for the $500 was made
as a supplemental estimate, and proba-
bly, would be included in the District
appropriation bill. which II is expected
will pass Congress soon.
Commissioner Newman said that IL the
appropriation is made the canvass will
be conducted under direction of Assessor
William P. Richards.
Gen. Harvey's action in bringing the
law to the attention OF the Commission
ers is regarded as a step toward having
the District Of Columbia de its share
toward contributing to the adequate de-
Tense Of the nation.

the bards are to be believed: many auto
mobile owners of Washington have al
lowed their fancies to turn in this direc-

The Aforesaid authorities-of Mary
land-declare they have no objection
whatsoever to the flights of fancy on the
part OF Washingtonians, so long as they
do not run counter to certain Maryland
laws.
All of which, when reduced to a con-

COPPER COINAGE OF
CHINA Is DEPLETED
By HEAVY EXPORTS

PICKING. China-Thirteen thou
sand tons of Chinese copper cash val.
ued at 1850. 900 yen or about $780,.
600 gold. were exported from Using
tau to- Japan during the past year.
A certain firm in Shantung still has in
stock many thousand tons Of the COP
per money, and II is estimated that at
least twenty thousand tons in all have
been gathered in by Chinese dealers
in Shantung province since copper
has become high enough in price TO
make 1t profitable to buy the coins.
The Chinese government has a law
against the expectation OF the square
hole copper cents which Chinese carry
on strings, but this has been disre-
garded by Japanese dealers. The
value Of the copper cash varies greatly
In different parts of China. One
Chinese copper cent is usually worth
ten copper cash. As the silver dollar
Is worth about 1875 copper cents, IL
could be changed into more than 1900
copper cash, an amount of copper far
more valuable at present rates than
the gold equivalent of a silver dollar,
which is about so cents.
