Adopted Other Proceeding.
CiiK Aiio, May 13. Bishop Fitzgerald
pnwided at the session of the Methodist
Episcoiml general conference, Rev. John
1. Riley, of Oklahoma, leading tho do'

ated by tho general coiifcrenco consist
ing of one member from each general

gates to the Ecumenical Methodist con
ference iu. IiOiidou was adopted.
Tlie conference discussed tho question
of confining the profits of the book con
ccrns to the .support of supcrnnnuulod
minister.. The question involved tho
wiihdr;. ing of subsidies from church
publications that could not exist other
wise it:id the payment of conference ex-
jK'Hses. The discussion was ltngthy,
and at times spirited, but the matter
was linully laid on the table by a rising
vote. Discussion of the report of the
committee on the revision of the coiisti
tut ion and the report of the committee
on rules for tho geuerul conference elec
tions were considered.
Tho reistt't of tho committee on eleo'
tions, which was nmdo public Saturday,
recommending that the election of bish
ops 1k held under tho tho two-thirds
rule, was brought up and debated. Dr
Buckley advocated it.
Tho report wus voted on soction by
section. Tho section providing for the
election of editors of the teverul ndvo-
cutes was recommitted to the book com
initteo for further nction, the intention
being, it is understood, to discontinue
some of tho subsidized publications for
which editors ore to hi selected. Tho
two-thirds rulo on tho election of bish
ops was then adopted by an overwhelm
ing vote. The tiino of tho session was
extended to her Chairman Buckley's
report No. 2 of the committeo on episco
pacy, the report being on tho effective'
ness of the board of tWienil snperiii'
teudeuts. Tho reisirt, which was adopt'
ed after a short delmte, recommended
that tho whole list of present active bish
ops bo declared effective.

everlasting death.
"Fourth These angels and men, thus
predestined and foreordained, are par
ticularly and unchangeably destined
and their number is so certain and defi
nite that it cannot bo either increased or
diminished."
Several presbyteries have asked spe
cifically that tho assembly should ap
point a committeo to consider tho whole
question of . creed revision, whilo others
desire that a new creed be ordered, leav
ing the old one untouched to bo pre
served intact as a historical document,

Washington, May 13. In view oi
the significant references to tho enforce'
meiit of tho Monroe doctrine by Secre
tary Root, Senator Lodgo aud other
prominent men the state deprrtmeut haf
taken steps to securo data on the sub
joct. Tho burden of these speeches ha
been tho startling increase of tho Ger
man colonies in Sonth and Central
America, which have been regarded as
menacing tho Monroo doctrine. It also
has been asserted that these German
colonists maiutain their home customs
iu tho new laud, deal almost exclusively
wi th Germany, use only tho German
language, have almost nutonomons gov
ernments within tho limits of American
republics and are, in fact.littlo (ferman-
les wherever located.
The stnte department lias addressed
on instruction to every minister und
consul in South and Central America,
to inform the dejiartmeut fully on all
tho points to which reference has been
made. Of course Germany is not re
ferred to by name, for such a direction
might naturally give nmbrago to the
German government. Tho circular ap
plies to colonists of all nationalities,
though it is of conrso expoctcd that tho
consuls, iu compiling their reports, will

however, that tho fact that General

not necessarily indicate that Mr. Rath-
bone will be relieved of all connection
with tho sen-ice. General Bristow out

might operato as a subordinate, though
on this point no statement is vouch

In t ion lust week, was seriously discusseo
by some of tho local papers, and at
tracted more general attention than ha
usually been the case with this sort ol
tiling. As a matter of fact, many Fili
pinos did leove their employers with th
apparent intention of joining some such
movement. Their action, taken in con
uection with tho arrest of several na
tives for carrying concealed weapons
and tho dispersing of several suspicion
gutlierings, gave color to the reports.
Tho officials have been active in the
matter, but are not inclined to thiuk nn

fact that the natives feared to attempt

insurgents hud come to Manila for thit
express purjiose.
A pajsT found among tho captured
effects of General Pantaloon Garcia as
sorts that tho United States cougresi
has done nothing for the Filipinos nun
tluit, therefore, all Filipinos who art
working for Americans must leave then
employers immediately or suffer th
penalty of trenson.
One report is that the Filipino junta
is endeavoring to incito an outbreak in
order to show tho civil commission thai
the insurrection is still alive.
It does not seem probable thut tht
peace proxisuls which Seuor Buencn-
mino, at one time a member of tho so-
called Filipino government, has drawn
up for submission to Aguinaldo and tht
other insurgent leaders will liavo much
weight with the Filipinos. Biteuca'
mino's reputation, gained in formoi
wars, is that of a man who hurries to
get on the winning side. He was in
disfavor with the Filipinos even before
the collnpst of their government, owing
to a widespread suspicion of his loyalty
to his colleagues.
Last week General MacArthur r 0'
ceived a largo number of officials, con
suls, oflicers and representatives of com
mercial bodies. To Lieutenat Crowder,
his military secretory, he will assign
many duties heretofore devolving upon
the adjutant general. This step is
taken m view of the increasing impor
tanee of the post of governor general.

Ho will give to his Rtnff authority in

AFTER SCALP OF ENGLISR
Some Pliiladi-lpliiaiiK Angry Over Threat
Ing or Wmmmukf r Hist Excuse
and Thut or the Mayor.
PhilaiikIiPhia, May 14. Philndelphi
ans hove been talking over tho call ol
Director of Public Safety Abraham L.
English nion John Wonnmaker, with
tho object of stopping certain nows
paper publications charged to tho mer
chant. The citizens generally, and tho solid
business men jwirtionlarly, demand the
resignation of the director and they aro
backed by practically tho eutiro press.
Iu nn emphatic public announcement
Mayor Ashlnidge defended English and
refused point blank to either ask the di
rector to resign or dismiss him.
There was circulated among tho prin
cipal business men a petition which was
rapidly signed, calling for English's res
ignation or dismissal. The same bnsi
ness men nro arranging to hold a mom
moth muss meeting to make a demand
on the mayor, should he fail to act im
mediately. Dijector English, in a statement is
sued, charges Mr. Wannmaker with not
being truthful in his statements of what
took place ot the interview of Thursday.
Mr. English said tliat Tho North
American falsely stated several mouths
ago that he had nothing before becom
ing director and that ho at once pur
chased a $15,000 house. He complained,
he said, to Mr. Wanamnker, but the at
tacks continued. Mr. Enirlish said he
called on Mr. Wauamaker simply as a
private citizen, and did not refer to tho
administration or the Keystone Tele
phone ordinance in any way. Ho do
llied calling Mr. Wauamaker a liar or
making any threats. In conclusion ho
says:
"If Mr. Wauamaker feels aggrieved
at what has actually taken placo be
tween us. let him appeal, as I do, to any
lair minded man and see whether lie
would have done less for tho protection
oi his home and family."
English told Wuuaumker he hud affi
davits reflecting on Wunamiiker's pri
vate character, which he Would make
public if Wauamaker did not stop tho
attacks of The North American on the

THE COUNTSY RECOVERING.
lun'a Itevlew Say the F.inbai ruiwuieut
of Naturally II 11. Price In Ile
Ing Ov.rcoiue.
New York, .May 1? R. O. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to
day, said in part:
With wholesome promptness the
country is recovering from the ttubur
niKsmeut of unnaturally high prices. In
some hues the great manufacturing as
sociations have taken the lead, in others
reductions are still deferred because the
entire producing capacity is engaged at
high prices for some months to come, in
others it conies in spite of resistance,
because buyers hold back orders foi
their own protection until material con
cessions are made. No disturbance noi
stringency of credits results, nor any
sign of alarm, and the movement
is jierliaps more henlthy than it
could have been if entirelx. controlled by
the competition of many Si all concerns.
Tho proportion of works aud of handf
unemployed is yet quite small, and the
volume of bnsiuoss transacted, though
less than last year in New England and
iu middle state cities, is larger thau ever
before at 54 out of 63 clearing houses in
tho entire region west of Peuusylvenia
and south of the Potomac.
Production, stimulated by high prices,
rises above consumption, retarded by
them.
Tho weekly output of pig iron May 1
was 203,850 tons, against 289,482 April
1, while unsold stocks not held by the
great steel makers increased 44,045 tons.
This would indicate a daily consump
tion of 40,041 tons, against 41,1(42 in
January, hitherto the largest, but foi
the fact that considerable stocks have
also accumulated in the hands of coiv
snming concerns, of which enough tc
nse much more than 1,000 tons daily art
now idle. Bessemer pig at Plulndol
phia mid Lehigh Valley No. 1 here art
quoted at $22 per ton and market wirt
has been reduced in corrcsixindenot
with barbed and plain. Considerable
increase of business is reported, result
ing from recent reductions.bnt demand
nyliigher wages and also for closing of
some iron works two months in tht
year, whether there is business or not.
causes some hesitation regarding furthei
contracts.
Wool yields a little more, chiefly in
the finer grades. A decline of neui'lii
10 per cent at tho London sales is one
ennse, but a moro potent is the con
tinned obstention of manufacturers whr
do not find the market for goods at the
advanced prices named this year nt all
satisfactory, except for a few staples,
Cancellations cause some trouble and
slow payments some, and prices of man)
grades are UTegnlar.
In spite of good exports, wheat pros
pects suffice to cause a decline of 1 3cl
while corn has declined 2nc. Corn ex
ports still run aiinch beyond lost year's.
Of both grains, the movement from
tho farms is largo enough to disjiel at
fear that the supply will run short.
Failures for the week have lieen 195
in tho United States, against 1(15 lust
year, and 15 in Canada, against 20 last
year.
