Different Delegates Read Papers On the Subject In Its Relation ' to MlMlon Work lapvra On Other Subject 'Alio . Read FaniJiie'Ald Meeting. New Yofk, May 1. Tho gcnornl topic for disinssiou at the session, of the Ecumenical conference in Carncgio hall was "Medical Work." A nuniler of interesting papers were read treating of this brnuch of mission duties in its various phases. The devotional exer cises which preceded the business ses sion wore conducted by Dr. Henry Fos ter of the Clifton. Springs sanitarium. "Medical work; its relation to mis sionary work as a wholo; practical proofs of its valuo,' importance, limita tions, and results," was discussed in papers by tho Rev. Dr. George E. Post, professor of- surgery of the Syrian Protestant college, and Dr. C. F. Ilart-ford-Battersby, of tho Livingstone Med ical college, England. Dr. F. Howard Taylor, of the China inland mission, read a paper on "Quali fications for Medical Work," and Dr. O. It. Avison, of Seoul, Korea, read the concluding paper on "Comity in Medi cal Work. Chancellor McCrackon, of the New York university, presided at the Madi son Avenue Reformed church, where "Literary Work" was under discussion. "Tho Extent and Value of Literary Work in tho Misfion Field, "by the Rev. Timothy Richard, of China; "Literary Workers," a paper written by Rev. K. S. McDonald, rad by the Rev. J. Fair ley Daley, of Glasgow. "Christian literary work in mission fields" was discussed by the Rev. Rich ard Lovett, of London. "The foreign work of tho American Tract Socioty" was the title of an address by the Rev. Dr. D. J. Burrell. Other papers 'wero "The Christian Literature Socioty of India" by the Rev. George Ii. Patter son, secretary of the society; "The Pub lishing Center at Constantinople" by tho Rev. Dr. E. M. Bliss, and "The Socioty for tho Diffusing of Christian and General Knowledge Among the Chinese," by the Rev. D. Z. Sheffield, of China. At the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, "Periixlicals and Reports of So .cities," "General Missionary Litera ture" and "Religious and Secular Press" wero discussed by the Rev. Dr. E. E, Strong, Mrs. J. G. Gracey and the Rev. A. Woodruff Halsey, D. D. At the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian ohuroh mooting, Dr. E. M. Bliss, of tho Independent, dwelt upon the press as a means for the distribution of mission ary information. Ho contradicted what he said in a very widoly extended im prossion that the pross is not interested in missions and claimed they are inter ested whenever they have the genuine missionary news. At the meeting at the Church of the Strangers, Mrs. Wellington White, for merly of the Presbyterian board of China, created a profound impression by her startling picture of a procession of blind she had seen in China. They were led through the streets with painted faces, gaily bodecked with flowers and ribbons, headed by an old woman who owned them and who com pelled them to lead immoral lives. She also told of the work of Dr. Mary Niles among the girls. She said blindness wui common among the people, owing to the climato and unsanitary condi tio! s. Rich jwreuts had been induced by tho missionaries to have their daugh ters taught to read by the Erailey method. New York, April 80. Carnegie hall was not filled when the Indian mass mooting, under the auspices of the Ecu menical conference, was called to order. President 6otk Low, of Columbia uni versity, was the first speaker. He con trasted the population of tho United States, 75,000,000, with India's 250,000, 000, and said that tho United States, to be as thickly populated, would have 750,000,000. Mr. Low then introduced Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows, presidont of Oberlin university. Mr. Barrows described the differences in tho selfishness of castes. He said that India was a continent rather than a country. A continent with nearly 300,000,000 people, one-third of which woro on the verge of starva tion. Bishop Henry C. Potter said that the evident interest displayed at the' meet ing should focus itself. It should be-' come operative and active. Rev. Dr. Johnson, a missionary of Central India, said he had passed through three Indian famines. He told some pitiful and pathetic stories of the sacrifices of . women especially of women for their children. The daughter of Rand Bey was in troduced by Chairman Low. Her story was about 250 girls saved in the famine of 1897 by her mother. Others also talked. Chairman Low announced that 20 students from the Union theological seminary would take up a collection, and added: "The Chinese merchants of British Columbia united a few days ago to send a collection for the sufferers in tho burned city of Ottawa. If the Chinese have learned tho lesson of brotherhood, how much more should we exemplify it." A list of names of prominent men was read as composing a committee to collect money for the famine sufferers. The contributions tonight amounted to 51,607. Miss Helen M. Gould, who oc cupied one of the boxes, pledged $200. Soctional meetings were held in the Jifferent churches as usual. At the Central.Pres.byteriau church, D. B. St. John Room, M. D., presided, the gen eral subject being "Hospitals and Dis pensurios." "When skorin they V established? Their coquet, management under va rious condition's, relation of clerical men to medical work," was tho titlo of a paper by tho Rev. Robert O. Boebo, of Nanking, China. METHODIST AEMY 100,000 STRONG. DUhop Thoburu Flan to Start Movement at Chicago For Salvation of Souls. CmcAOO, April 80. A Mothodist ar my, 100,000 strong, consecrated and banded together for the salvation of souls, may bo the outcome of the great gathering oT Methodism which is about to be hold in this city. ' Bishop J. H. Thoburn, whose" field of work is in India, and who has been a missionary and a leader of missionaries nearly all his life, is the man who will prapose to the general conference this great crusade, and whose eloquence will urge that it be at once began. , He will arrive in this city Wednesday, and it is understood that he will at once begin to gather around him supporters for the effort to convince the conerence that tho "consecrated army of ore hun dred thousand" has the field ripe be fore it. BOER DELEGATES COMING. Will Sail for the United States Next - Thursday. The Hague, April 80. The member of the Boer peace commission will sail from Rotterdam to the United States next Thursday evening by the Holland American lino steamship Maasdam. Dr. Leyds and Dr. Muellor will not accompany the delegates. The delegates will visit Amsterdam today. London. April 30. The Standard's announcement that General French's cavalry is returning to Bloemfontein is clear proof that thore is no further hope of catching the retreating Boers, and the Loudon papers are beginning to dis play impatience at the practical failure of the elaborate operations of last week. The Standard says: "It is disheart ening to find that these elaborate ma noeuvres have had so small a result." The Daily Chronicle remarks: "We are reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts, but it is impossible to shut our eyes to the fact that during the last ten days we have gained very little from our enor mous display of force " . Without doubt these operations have been of a very exhausting nature, and will entail further delay. Tho Bloem fontein correspondent of tho Times, writing on March 8, after tho Paarde berg affair, describes Lord Roberts' army as a "wreck," because it was without horses and without transport. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the" Post speaks now of the urgent need at present and always of more horses. There is very little news from other quarters. Interetlng Developments Ahead.

The pros enSb of Governor Taylor in this city was known to tho local officers and to those in charge of the prosecution, and the fact that a warrant of arrest' was not served upon him is construed to mean that the indictment in this case will be held up and no process issued on it for several days. The governor later went to Louisville. The indictment was returned in open court the day after those against Finley, Powers, Culton and others were re turned, but it was not entered on the record and is now understood to be in the possession of Judge Con trill.

Be and Mrs. Itowcy Received the Guests. Crowds Kiitliuaiatlo Over the Admiral aa He V 'Driven to the Hotel In vited to Canada. Chicago, May 1. Never in the his tory of the great Auditorium has there been within its walls a sight more beau tiful than that revealed lost night.when the great ball given in honor of Admiral Dewey was at its height. The decora tiobs were fino. As soon as the reception commrteo had taken position Admiral and Mrs. Dewey entered, followed by a throng of less distin guishod guests. Immediately behind tho Admiral came with their wives the naval officers on duty in Chi cago, and the officers of the United States steamship alichigau Behind the navy came the army, headed by Major General James F. Wade and Mrg.Wode, officers of Gennral Wado's staS. with their wives, and officers of the garrison at Fort Sheridan and their wives. Offi cers of the revenue service followed.and behind thorn came Brigadier General Charles Fitzsimmous, commanding the First brigado of the Illinois national guard, and Mrs. Fitzsimmous, mem bers of General Fitzsimmons' staff with their wives, closing the procession of the city's guests.' The Admiral and Mrs Dewey after they had exchangod greetings with tho members of the reception committee took their stand at Mayor Harrison's right and to them were presented the guests of the city who had followed them into the hall. Then came in long lines thopuests of the ball, all who desired being afforded an, opportunity of greoting the Admiral and his wife. There was no grand march, the Admiral's, party retiring to his box wheu tho hue of guests had passed, and tho orchestra striking up Dekoveiis two-step, "The Dragaous," the floor was surrendered to the dancers. At midnight, the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey left the hall for a luncheon in their honor, given in au adjoining room by Hobvt C. Chatfield-Taylor, and then after returning to the ball room for a brief interval he and his party retired. Tho Admiral and Mrs. Dowey on their arrival in this city met with a great re ception. Mrs. Dewey, wh.i was somewhat fatigued from tho long jourue'y from Washington, did not ftccompnny Ad miral Dewey on his ride through tne downtown streets to the hotel, but ac companied by the special committee of the woman's reception committee, Mrs. Bryan Lathrop, Mrs. Carter II. Harri son and Mrs. Charles A. Plamondon, went direct to the annex, where she rested until the arrival of Admiral Dewey. The cheering started at the depot swept along tho streets as the Admiral and his party were slowly driven to their apartments, tho applause being almost without cessation until tho Ad miral entered the hotel. As the party reached the corner of Jackson boule vard and Dearborn streets a signalman on tho top of the Great Northorn hotel wigwagged that fact to a land battery stationed in the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway yards and to the of ficers of the revenue cutter Morrill out in tho harbor. The land battery roared out tho Ad miral's salute of 17 gunswhilo the guns of the ships were fired in the 21 rounds of the naval salute. Arriving at the hotel Admiral Dewey proceeded at once to his apartments where, however, ho was allowed to rest .but briefly, he was escorted to an in formal breakfast given the Admiral and Mrs. Dowey by tho members of the woman's reception committee. When the Admiral was givon a re ception by the Canadian-American As siation which presented an invitation to him to visit Canada. DEWEY WELL EECEIVED. Large Crowd Greeted Him a He Tassed Through Pittsburg- Not on a Political Tour. PirrshuFO, April 30. Tho special train of Admiral Dewey, over the Bal timore and Oliio railroad, arrived here last night. The train did not go into the station, but was transferred at Laughlin Junction. A large crowd of people had assemblod to see the admiral at the different stations, and he greeted them from the platform of the car. The trip from Washington to Pittsburg was uneventful. At Connellsville about one half of the population of the town was present to . greet the admiral. He de clined to discuss politics with those who called upon him, saying the trip had no political significance whatever. PORTE MAY SETTLE BY A TRICK. May Conceal Payment by Arrangement With Home Contractor. Constantinople, April 80. Theporto has not yet replied to the note handed to Tewfik Pasha, tho Turkish foreign minister, by the United States chargo A 'affaires, Mr. Lloyd Grisconi, regard ing the indemnity claim, and tho situa tion is unchanged. In some quarters it is believed that a settlement will yet be made by means of some arrangement with private Ameri can contractors, concealing tho actual payment, and thus relieving the Otto man government from admitting re sponsibility for the losses occasioned at the time of the massacres. Opened Fund For Ottawa Fire. London, April 30. The lord mayor of London, A. J. Newton, has opened a mansion house fund for the relief of tho victims of the Ottawa fire. Olivier Reported Wounded.

New York, April 28. R. G. Dun & Co. '8 weekly review of trade, issued to day, said in part: " Gold begins to go abroad, and prices of iron products break sharply in the same week. Four months of the new year have passed and business does not so expand as to need the large increase of circulation which the new monetary bill has permitted, nor enough to sustain all the extraordinary advance in prices last year. The reaction in prices came where it was expected least, in the industry more fully onnuuzed than any other to chock competition and iu the branch which, through contracts covering rod making and other machinery and through pat ents, seemed more fully controlled than any othor. Reduction of $20 per ton in wire nails, barbed wire and galvanized fence and $18 in smooth wire showod that no control can afford to holt prices so high as to check competition. In a week tho prices of iron products have declined 5.80 per cent, and. since Feb. 7, 10.8 per cent. As the wire and nail prices have been relatively the highest others in the iron and steel industry can bo expected to fall iu like measure. But pigiron is weaker. No. L local coke at Chicago $23.50 and southern pigiron is also lower; Plates and bars can be ob tained for about 1.8 cents in good con tracts both at the east and at Pittsburg; tho proposed advance in sheets to 3.40 cents has not been attempted, and cut nail mills, which have gained much by Boiling at 70 cents per keg below wire nails, will now lower prices also. The stoppage of a dozen wiro and nail mills besides rod mills at Joliet, and another of the National Steel company, indicates .some change in the actual demand. Wool has not changed in quotations, though some sales of fair amount are re ported at such prices as 81o for Ohio XX and 55c for clothing territory clean ed, but manufacturers ore not disposed to do anything, and the west asks prices which dealers have no roasou for pay ing. Tho demand for woolen goods is small and disappointing, and except in staples, which are steady because woll sold up, pricos are uot encouraging. Tho prodnco iiiarkotisinactive,thongh wheat yielded a fraction and corn gain ed lo for. the week.. Exports of both continue larger than a year ago. Failures for the week were 204 in the United States, against 184 last year, and 22 in Canada, against 23 last year. Wife or General Wilson Iead. Havana, April 30. The wife of Ma jor General James H.

Some of the victims were stricken and died within an hour. There have been sev eral deaths in other sections of the city recently which have been traced to in fection from the market. After all the market people hl gath ered together the health officers tarew a guard around the buildings and will keep the inmates quarantined there for H fortnight. They will then burn the market. The total number of bubouio deaths are 119 Chinamen and 66 Fil ipinos. Tho plague elsewhere has been siiDpressed. Not one infected person has been in the Chinese district for 10 days.
