METHODIST EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONFERENCE TWENTY-NINTH CrENERAI. AS SEMBLAGE IN CHICAGO. Opened Yesterday by Dtshop Dow man at tho Auditorium Delegates Gathered from Evory Part of the World Sessions to Last a Month. Eight for Admission of Provisional Delegates to Occupy First Deliber ations. Chicago, May 2. Tho twenty-ninth general conference of the Methodist Fplscopal church, tho twenty-third of tho delegated congresses, began hero today. It will last a month, nnd la ex pected to bo the most Important con ference since tho memorable one In 1814, when tho south branch of tho church severed Its relations with the main body over tho slavery question. The pit of tho Auditorium theater wns filled this forenoon with delegates from every part of the world. Farther back, In the big hall where the con ference Is to be held, were the specta tors and tho provisional delegates whoso tight for admission to the floor of tho conference will occupy the ilrst days of the meeting. The venerable Bishop Thomas Bow man declared tho conference opened, In a few words, calling attention to tho Importance of tho assembly 'and counselling conservatism and tho grav est consideration of tho matters to bo discussed. Bishop H. W. Warren announced tho first hvmn, which was sung with vig orous enthusiasm by the great audi ence. The Apostles' creed, led by Ulshop J. M. Thoburn, of India, wus re cited by the assembly, and Bishop C. D. Foss delivered a prayer, which was followed by the reading of Psalm 46, by the Rev. II. II. Lowry, D. D.. of the North China conference. The "Gloria" was then chanted, the sec ond Scripture lesson from the first chapter ot Acts was read by the Rev. Austin Griftln, of the Wyoming con ference, and a second hymn was an nounced by the Rev. Harry Swan, of the West Texas conference. A prayer by the Rev. II. A. Gobln, of the North west India conference, was succeeded by another hymir, announced by tho Rev. Jacob Yunkers. of the North Ger many conference, and as the last note died away Ulshop S. M. Merrill took the chair. Grave questions confront the gath ering. The lay delegates demand vote for vote with tho clericul renresenta t.ives, and there are 141 provisional lay delegates awaiting action by the con frrence. A determined effort wllKbe made to rilse the ban on dancing, card play ing nnd theat?r going, nnd arguments will be advanced for the consecration of b!s'-.ops of limited jurisdiction, for tho (hopping of tho time limit on pas torates nnd the referring of the elec tion of the conference editors, secre taries end book agents to tho commit tees governing the different societies. It Is also expected that some steps may be taken looking to the reunion of the south branch of the church with the niab' body. A general morning session of tho en tire conference will be held every day except Sunday. Of th 750 dclegat3S entitled to seats tho greater number were present this morning. THE IRON MARKET. Stat e of Trade According" to the Americnn Manufacturer. Pittsburg, Muy 2. The American Manufacturer will sav tomorrow: The Iron and steel markets might be In worse shape. There might be less demand and lower prices, but as the case stands thero Is a hustle for business that Is gradually forcing down the values and, contrary to expecta tions, the cheapening Is not acting as a stimulus. Plates that were $3.40 a few weeks ago are down to $1.85 "nom inally," but liberal buying Is at $1.80 and observant eyes are actively scan ning the horizon for a sign of trade. Open hearth billets have reached tho level of $35 per ton, which Is $3 less than the actual figures of a large con cern a week ago. Bessemer billets are quoted at $32.50, also "nominally," but sales have been made at less, though to quote the marset at $31, as has been done, Is just a shade too low. The Inquiry for sheets Is satisfactory, tho minimum quotation has been fixed at $3.25 by the American Steel Sheet com pany. At the same times, sales have been made as high as $3.40. Galvan ized sheets aro more active than black. The eyes of tho Iron and steel trades are focused upon the Bessemer Pig Iron association. At a meeting last Saturday at Cleveland tho Independent producers of the valley agreed to hold the rate fixed by the association fur nace men for the remainder of the year. The furnace men nnd their of ficers have stated that It Is Impossible to have cheaper Bessemer than $24.90, Pittsburg, this year. QUEEN REVIEWS SAILORS. Ladysmith's Naval Defenders Enter tained at Windsor. Loudon, May 2. Windsor Is lit holi day attire today and decorated from end to end In honor ot the naval bri gade of the British cruiser Powerful, which assisted In tho defense of Lady smith.

The band of the Grenadier Guards met the brigade at tho railroad station and played before the men as they marched to the castle through cheering throngs. The Inspection was made In the quadrangle, and was witnessed by the 13ul;e of York and other members of the royal family and a. number ot high naval nnd military officers. Her ma jesty drove down the lino of bluejack ets, who then advanced and gave threo cheers for the queen? Captain Lambton, of the Powerful, and the officers of that vessel were af terward presented to her majesty, who thanked the cnptaln and the brigade fnr their noble services to the em pire. The captain replied that what they had done was nothing to what the navy was prepared to do for her majesty. Tho queen, somo time afterward, saw the bluejackets entertained nt din ner.

Outside ot these special movements tho market generally was excessively dull and represented nothing more Impoitant than tho opeiutlons of the pro fesslonal room traders of small calllher. The Mi iiouneeinent of further gold engagements for to morrow s trencn steamer ot i.nju.ws) was u. signal for n pcnrral selling movement by rkis class of speculators. It had been taken 'or granted that large exports of gold would be m.ido by Saturday's steamer, but the additional ship ment bv tomorrow's steamer bringing the total up to !f'2,(Wi,000 was a surprise. This shipment Is generally believed to lepresent a trlanguhr cperatlon that It is to say on London' oidcr to meet a demand on that ccnlir. Among the exporters arc some who have strcnuouily held that no profit lould bo made In exporting gold at the highest figures jet touched for exchange, and the rate for demand sterling today was V4c pound lower than the highest rate touched on the movement. It Is fair to assume, therefore, that some concession has been offered to make a mar gin ot profit of the transaction but In any event the metal Is iecocnl7ed as betror In eltect a loan. It Is evident that the need ot monej here In active trade has not kept pace wllli the cur leney expansion. The low rate of money (nuplod Willi the large loans of New York banks and their small surplus reflect the eagerness of capital to place credits, but the demand for credits Is not sufficient to absorb .the supply, 80 capitalists must look abroad, whern Interest rates rule high er. For somo time the merchandise ciedits re sulting from our favorable trad-: balance have been left at Interest abroad. This country's laige gold surplus make m the source of supply lor the money metal. The net result Is that wo are not only refraining from calling homo merchan dise credits, but are shipping out the money metal to meet the needs of foreign markets.
