Rev. S. C. Ferguson of FreUcncks- burg, Va., conducted the opening devo tional exercises. A repont In the na ture of an overture from the -Methodist Episcopal church North suflgeftlng that the ttwo great (brainches ot the Methodist Episcopal dumcb Join bands in temperance -work was received and referred to the -temflKTaOee committee.

The report was slgued by Mpi-wth. A. J. Gill, J. 0. Nich olson, R. JL Moore, J. F. Helssle, T. P. Frost, AV. G. Cassard and G. C. Ba- oon. Bishop iHuittt of tho American Unl- vrawty was Introduced nnd made short speech, newurlBg the conference that It had the sympathy of the entire Northern church. Two ministers were entered into the order of eHers, name ly, F. B. Onrlck and L. B. Atkins. The even tenor of the transaction of business was disturbed by an uncx peered Incident. The question had come up of accepting an invitation to the White House, the president having, through Private Seretary Thurber, signified that It would be his pleasure to receive the members of the conference, their wives ami daughters, at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. P. Hyde had made the announcement and the convention was about to ac cept the Invitation -when llev. John W. Tongue arose ami asked to bs b-arcl. He objected to going to the White Heose to rny their respects I- the president. Although he expressed nimeelf In very clear ar.d strong words ft did not appear that -Ur. Tongue had anything personally against Mr. Cleveland, hut he urged that It would be no disrespect to the preskl-mt If the conference should refuse to go to see him. He rminded the audience that consistency was a Jewel, and that when the conference met In Washing ton In 1S7S, during President Grant's administration, the only time before that the conference had met here, by a deliberate vote they had refused to f and pay their respects to Gen. Oran Mr. Tongue paid an eloquent tri bute "as a Southern man to the soil and manner horn, speaking to South ern men." to the character of Gen Grant, whose magnanimity to our great -captain, IWbert E. Lee, -will ever hold hts name bright and dear to the South. "But If tho conference would not go to aee Grant, why should It go to see Cleveland? It might be stall circumstances altered cases, but Hey never altered principles. If the conference was so careful not to seem to go Into politics In 1875. why should tt now -be so quick to depart from Its chosen path.” Almost befard Mr. Tongue had re sumed his seat half a dozen were up nnd crying for reusgnltlon and the entire conference was Shouting “Ques tion! Gueatlonl” Rev. 8. G. Ferguson of Fredericks burg, Va., shouted: "I was In the Con federate army, but I regret Mr, Tongue's making that speech.” Mr. Hyde and Secretary Armstrong both made speeches vigorously criti cising Mr. Tongue's utterances. A rising vote was called for upon the question of accenting the Invitation, and It was carried, many members not voting on the question. THE JAPANESE SlIPflL’HMENT.

In nil theso cases It is reasoned that the larger de- ma-nd for consumption, though yet want ing, must come when it Is seen that tho prices are going up. Higher wages for ooko workers have been followed |>y a formal advance of 40 cents In tho price of coke, and now Bes semer pig has risen » cents at Pittsburg and 25 cents at Philadelphia. Beginning nt the top to lift price* requires excep tional strength that the Csrcngie Trick interest Is exceptionally strong. 80 far there Is no answering Increase In demand or In prices for manufactured product*, and on the whole tfio rango In slightly lower lhan a week ago, angles and com mon bar having yielded a little. Tho general belief Is that th© dear materials will kindle more buying of products. As yet It seems Impossible to fill the mills with orders, and the struggle of those yet unemployed keeps prices down. It Is a sign of strength that an Eastern mill has secured In competition with British makers who had an advantage of 12.60 In freights, tha contr-et for 12,000 tons of rails for a California railroad, and other contracts for about the same quantity have been placed. Rut the attempt of the Mahoning bar mill to reduce wage* 60 cents for puddling ana 12H cents* for finishing seems likely to result In a strike. Raw cotton has been hoisted* until a stronger market for goods resulted, with some advances In prices. Tno tone of the goods market has been decidedly Im proved, though It does not yet appear that retail distribution has correspond- !ns*y Increased. But stocks of retail dealers are light and wherf'th’ey feel that prices are bound to rise tho demand may grow rapidly. A better Indication of general Improve ment Is that exchanges through the prin cipal clearing houses -for tho week aro 21.6 per cent larger Sum last year and only Ud per cent, less than In UQ3, which may probably mean the ad*voit of d«- cidedly_better' , ’condlflons. Little encour aging can be said of foreign trade, tbs exports for March being smaller il an last yeir, while Imports for tWxttU month will doubtless show some Increase. Rates for money are higher, as usual just be fore April 1, and the commercial demand Is somewhat larger. Several largo failures this month have swelled the aggregato of liabilities for the three wtsks of March to $11,271,121, ngalnfrt ll^.'^l.SOl last year, of which $*>,411,343 wero of manufa^furlng concerns agalnit fl.4CD.llft last year and $4.*24,T73 la trading concerns, against $4.22*03 last year. The failures this week have been SM In tbs United Blits^ AfdMt M test year, and 42 In C-nada, ngatrut to last y^ar. But the recent Increase Indicates past rather than present conditions of Editor SawteU Will Surrender th Grimn Call. . ' Griffin, March <BpecUl.V—Th Morning Call has been captured b the ladles and the result Is they will get out an Eastor edition of this sprightly nper. When the office was invaded by the fair would-fce Journal ists, Editor Sawtell capitulated, and with a flourish of trumpets said “Tho office Is yours. If you want anything, ask and It ahall be given you, and m even throw' in the devil. The above remark la significant from the fact that the Easfer edition will be for the benefit of the Methodist church.
