Saturday evening has been assigned by the House of Representatives for the consideration of bills reported by the Committee on Education and Labor. The members of that committee held a conference to-day, for the purpose of deter mining the order in which its various meas ures shall be called up from the calendar for action in case the committee actually obtains the day, it being well understood that all spe cial assignments of this sort are liable to be set aside towards the close of the session in favor of the appropriation bills, etc. The committee, after come discussion, decided that it would be impracticable, or worse than use less, to attempt to pass the Chinese immigra tion bill at the present time, in view of the recent appointment of the Commission to negotiate a treaty on that subject, and it was therefore arranged that if the com mittee obtains the floor on Saturday the House shall be asked to make the 15-passen ger bill a special order for the first Tuesday of next December, which will be the next day after the commencement of the session. The committee are of the opinion that by that time it will be clearly manifest whether or not the diplomatic agencies now provided for the solution of the Chinese problem will have rendered further action at the hands of Congress unnecessary. If the Commission shall then have failed to accomplish the de sired result the pending bill will be urged for immediate passage, with the chances of suc cess incomparably greater than could be hoped for at the present time, while both House and Senate are far from giving their sanction to the creation of a Commission ap pointed for the sole purpose of dealing with the same subject. The Secretary of War sent to the Senate to-day a copy of the report of Lieutenant- Colonel C. S. Stewart, upon an examination of Trinidad harbor, made in compliance with the river and harbor law of March 3, 1879. Colonel Stevenson says the examination made last July developed that no change in the depth of water or in the character of the ma terial of Trinidad harbor appeared to have taken place since the United States coast survey was made in 187-!. It was thought, therefore, that a complete new survey was not needed. He says the harbor is exposed to a _i.avy swell from the south and west in heavy southerly weather, and if this were cut off the anchorage would be quite se cure at all times. As it now is, it forms a good shelter against summer northwest winds. The approaches are free from hidden dangers, and the rocks to the west of the head are close in shore and can be easily avoidea. There are but few sunken rocks in the harbor. The head is a good land mark, and the holding ground is equal to that at most of the anchorages on the coast. "Thee," the Colonel says, "are all ths favorable point?, and those interested in this place are desirous to have it made the site of an artificial harbor by the construction of a breakwater from the head to Pilot Rock." He remarks that the expense of such a work would be altogether out of proportion to the amount of commerce to be benefited, if that of Trinidad alone was to be considered. Colonel Stewart estimates the total cost of constructing the breakwater at $5,293,227. This amount, be it noticed, is more than double the estimate by Colonel Williamson in his recent minority report on the subject of the selection of a site for the proposed Pacific coast harbor of refuge. Representative Horace Davis appeared be f ire tl_e House Committee on Appropriations to-day and urged the insertion of an item in the sundry civil appropriation bill to reim burse the city of San Francisco for about Si'3.ooo expended in street improvements in front of Federal property. The Star this evening publishes the Presi dential views of Judge Hastings and Mr. Mclloon, whom it describes as two very prom inent Democrats from California, and who are quoted as saying: Judge Field can carry California by 10,000 majority against any candidate the Republicans can name. California is Democratic when the party is united, and it would be united with a will on Field. The coast is enthusiastic for him." They recount his distinguished services in shaping the present mining laws and estab lishing the beneficent principles of land juris prudence, etc., in California, eulogize his Su preme Court opinions on great constitutional questions, and predict that California will send a delegation to Cincinnati who, al though uninstructed, will vote for his nom ination as President. Senator Don Cameron has returned from his visit to Philadelphia, and was in his seat to-day. He says the reports of an extensive revolt in the Pennsylvania delegation to Chi cago are not true that he has investigated the affair thoroughly, and that he is confident the delegation will vote as instructed for Grant that a few of the delegates— not over half a dozen may disregard the instructions and vote for Blame, but the revolt will not go beyond that. He believes Grant will get them all. His report of the result of his trip to the other Grant leaders was, Everything is satisfactory to Pennsylvania." Slate Conventions. WEST VIRGINIA— REPUBLICAN. Wheeling, May 13th.— evening the first two districts appointed Blame delegates to Chicago. In the third the majority report was in favor of Sherman delegates, and the minority for Blame. A hot discussion en sued, in the course of which Mr. Dye asserted that the Third District would not vote for Blame at Chicago, and if smothered here, it would send a delegation to Chicago and de mand recognition from the National Conven tion. This caused much excitement. The minority, report was finally adopted. The delegates at large are W. .1. Burley, Samuel P. McCormick, John H. Riley and A. W. Campbell. The whole delegation was in structed for Blame. I The delegates were also instructed to support General Nathan Goff, Jr., of this State, as a candidate for Vice- President. REPUBLICAN. Detroit, May 13th.— Yesterday afternoon resolutions were adopted that the choice of the Republicans of Michigan for President is Blame, and that the delegates are requested to use all proper means to secure his nomina tion. The resolutions favor Thomas B. Ferry for Vice-President."',: A resolution recognizing the services of General Grant, but opposing a third term,' was tabled with some expression of impatience, j James F. Fay, O. D. Conger, Perry Hannan and E. C. Watkins were chosen delegates at large,": all being strong Blame men. WISCONSIN— Madison, May 13th.— Upon reassembling yesterday John W, Carey was made Chair man of the Convention.? Five counties were unrepresented and many delegates had prox ies. The resolutions adopted declare I for (an indissoluble union of the States," that the United States are a Nation, and that the States have certain undefined powers, bnt the Nation _ has a proper supervision over all interstate and international affairs they de nounce the heresy of civil war, as also i that of centralized despotism, and j the rebel war claims are bitterly.: denounced. They de clare for an ii'terchangeable gold, silver and paper money, and the economy of the Dem ocratic Congress is commended. The Union soldiers me praised,' and the troops at the polls denounced. Delegates from the Con gressional districts were then chosen, but not instructed. •■jBBjB VERMONT— GREENBACK LABOR.

JJi iji New York, May 13th.— The next issue of the Spirit of the Times will contain the follow ing concerning the great 850,000 match be tween Maud S and Santa Clans We are Tratified to give this week a letter from P. A. Finnegan, owner of Santa Claus, stating the :onditions upon which he is willing to trot his stallion against Maud S. One chief fear bad been that the challenged party might in sist upon the mare going to California, a con dition that might have resulted unfavorably to the match but as Mr. Finnegan is willing to come East, we do not think that there are nowany obstacles of consequence. His let ter is pure business and tenders it evident that he is anxious for the race. The manager of Maud S is no less in earnest, and both par ties verily believe they have the fastest trot ters in the world. The response of Captain Stone to the propositions of Mr. Finnegan ought to settle the matter. The following is the letter of Mr. Finnegan San Francisco, May 4th. E. A. Buck, Spirit of the Times Your telegram in relation to a series of races between Maud S anil Santa Claus has been received. My proposition was to trot five races, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for £5,000 a side each race, National Asso ciation rules, which in accordance with the usages of the turf would be half forfeit. This lam willing to do under the following conditions First— sl2,soo forfeit to be deposited with E. A. Buck, or any other person Buck may designate, and forfeits to be deposited on or before Tuesday. June I, ISSO. Second— The whole amount of s'akes must be put in the hands of stakeholders before the horses are called for the first race, and before the drivers are weighed, after which the races shall be "pay or play." Third— Aft of the series of races shall come off over one track, which is mutually acceptable to both parties, said track to be in a city which has a trgtting club and is a member of the National Association, the course to be agreed upon before one deposit of forfeit. Should the parties control ing Maud S agree to trot these races in California, the owner of Santa Claus will allow them $500 on each race trotted and the privilege of selecting any track in the State which is a member of the Na tional Association. Fourth— The time of trotting shall be, if not in California, at any time the other party may select from August Ist to November 1, ISSO, races to be one week apart. If un an Eastern track, the time of the first race to take place shall be Saturday, August 23th, and others on the Saturdays following, there being a week between each provided, how ever, that the track and day are good and in case there should be a postponement on account of weather or track, the race shall take place on the first good day and track following provided there are three days between that and the next race of the series. In case there should not be three days intervening, then the next race to be postponed one week, and so throughout the series judges to be the persons who shall say if the track and day are good, and their decision in this case to be final. Fifth— Judges shall be selected in the following manner Parties to these matches to select a judge each, and these two to select their associate. In order not to confine one set of men to judge the whole series, the selection shall be made for each race and on the day of trotting, In case the judges selected by the parties cannot agree on a third per son, the P. esident of the Trotting Club, or some person he appoints, shall make a selection. Further more, the owner of Santa Claus will give the other party the privilege of naming for the trots to take place one of four States, viz Illinois, Ohio, New York or Pennsylvania, and he (the owner of Santa Claus) or bis representative will select tt c track to trot upon. In any case, the course selected shall be a mile in circuit. Sixth The receipts from any and every source shall be divided in the following proportions, viz Seventy-five per cent, to loser of We rice, settle ment to be made at the conclusion f each race, and the winner of each race to receive the above pro portion, and the loser his quota of the money when tbe race is trotted. Yours, P. A. FINNEGAN. A HITCH IN THE ARRANGEMENTS. Cincinnati, May 13th.— Captain George N. Stone, who has the management of Van derbilt's Maud 8, having seen the letters of P. A. Finnegan, owner of Santa Clans, in which he states the terms upon which Santa Claus will trot a series of five races with Maud S, says he cannot accept the challenge for 85,000 a side for each race with so large a forfeit as Finnegan proposes, nor can he agree to trot the five races on one track, as sug gested by Finnegan. Captain Stone's orig inal offer was for 85,000 a race— B2,soo a side —and was distinctly expressed in his letter to Mr. Finnegan of April 2 Jth. namely, to trot the series of five races for 82,500 a side for each race, with 82,500 forfeit, the races to be trotted on five different tracks, to be agreed upon by him and Mr. Finnegan before the races begin.

Washington, "May 13th.— General Sher man's report to the House Committee on Pacific Railroads, in regard to the Northern Pacific route, says In a military sense the extension of this railroad from Bismarck to the Yellowstone, and up the valley of that river as far as the mouth of the Big Horn, will be beyond any estimate of advantage the Quar termaster-General may make, because this railroad will transport men and supplies for ten if not twelve months in the year, while the Missouri river anil Yellowstone are barely navigable for light-draft steamers for two, at most three months in the year. The cxtens on of tho road will stimulate emigrants to occupy the line of the Yellowstone east and west to such an c.tent as to form a harrier to the no madic Indians who have heretofore gone back and forth from the Sioux reservation south, to British territory north, and will enable us in a very few years to gi\e up Forts Keogh and Custer, each re quiring for garrison a full regiment of infantry and four companies of cavalry. The. could then bo moved north to the British line. By this process we could divide the hostile Sioux, and can subdue either moiety with more certainty and much less Cost than now. r The committee will meet to-morrow, and it is expected that they will agree to report favorably on the bill introduced.

J Bradford, May Shortly after noon to-day a fire again started in the timber-land at the head of Fosterbrook valley, eight miles from Bradford.

It is estimated that two hundred rigs, besides the volume of oil, have been destroyed. Duke Center is still j safe at midnight. _ A falling tree struck a man named William Reed, in flicting fatal injuries.".: No other per.on was hurt.; 4- 7,-rp. irpp-A, JpJ f-;pp'rp.J.

Washington Notes, front our own Corre spondent. Washington, May 13th.— Next Saturday evening has been assigned by the House of Representatives for the consideration of bills reported by the Committee on Education and Labor. The members of that committee held a conference to-day, for the purpose of deter mining the order in which its various meas ures shall be called up from the calendar for action in case the committee actually obtains the day, it being well understood that all spe cial assignments of this sort are liable to be Bet aside towards the close of the session in favor of the appropriation bills, etc. The committee, after some discussion, decided that it would be impracticable, or worse than use less, to attempt to pass the Chinese immigra tion bill at the present time, in view of the recent appointment of the Commission to negotiate a treaty on that subject, and it was therefore arranged that if the com mittee obtains the floor on Saturday the House shall be asked to make the 15- passen ger bill a special order for the first Tuesday of next December, which will be the next day after the commencement of the session. The committee are of the opinion that by that time it will be clearly manifest whether or not the diplomatic agencies now provided for the solution of the Chinese problem will have rendered further action at the hands of Congress unnecessary. If the Commission shall then have failed to accomplish the de sired result the pending bill will be urged for immediate passage, with the chances of suc cess incomparably greater than could be hoped for at the present time, while both House and Senate are far from giving their sanction to the creation of a Commission ap pointed for the sole purpose of dealing with the same subject. The Secretary of War sent to the Senate to-day a copy of the report of Lieutenant- Colonel C. S. Stewart, upon an examination of Trinidad harbor, made in compliance with the river and harbor law of March 3, 1879. Colonel Stevenson says the examination made last July developed that no change in the depth of water or in the character of the ma terial of Trinidad harbor appeared to have taken place since the United States coast survey was made in 1872. It was thought, therefore, that a complete new survey was not needed. He says the harbor is exposed to a heavy swell from the south and west in heavy southerly weather, and if this were cut off the anchorage would be quite se cure at all times. :As it now is, it forms a good shelter against summer northwest winds. The approaches are free from hidden dangers, and the rocks to the west of the head are close in shore and can be easily avoided. There are but few sunken rocks in the harbor. The head is a good land mark, and the holding ground is equal to that at most of the anchorages on the coast. "Thee," the Colonel says, "are all the favorable points, and those interested in this place are desirous to have it made the site of an artificial harbor by the construction of a breakwater from the head to Pilot Rock." He remarks that the expense of such a work would be altogether out of proportion to the amount of commerce to be benefited, if that of Trinidad alone was to be considered. Colonel Stewart estimates the total cost of constructing the breakwater at $5,293,227. This amount, be it noticed, is more than double the estimate by Colonel Williamson in his recent minority report on the subject of the selection of a site for the proposed Pacific coast harbor of refuge. Representative Horace Davis appeared be- ire the House Committee on Appropriations to-day and urged the insertion of an item in the sundry civil appropriation bill to reim burse the city of San Francisco for about 823 000 expended in street improvements in front of Federal property. The Star this evening publishes the Presi dential views of Judge Hastings and Mr. McHoon, whom it describes as two very prom inent Democrats from California, and who are quoted as Baying: Judge Field can carry California by 10,000 majority against any candidate the Republicans can name. California is Democratic when the party is united, and it would be united with a will on Field. The coast is enthusiastic for him." They recount his distinguished services in shaping the present mining laws and estab lishing the beneficent principles of land juris prudence, etc., in California, eulogize his Su preme Court opinions on great constitutional questions, and predict that California will send a delegation to Cincinnati who, al though uninstructed, will vote for his nom ination as President. Senator Don Cameron has returned from his visit to Philadelphia, and was in his seat to-day. He Bays the reports of an extensive revolt in the Pennsylvania delegation to Chi cago are not true that he has investigated the affair thoroughly, and that he is confident the delegation will vote as instructed for Grant that a few of the delegates not over half a dozen may disregard the instructions and vote for Blame, but the revolt will not go beyond that. He believes Grant will get them all. His report of the result of his trip to the other Grant leaders was, Everything is satisfactory to Pennsylvania." State Conventions. WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN. Wheeling, May 13th.— Last evening the first two districts appointed Blame delegates to Chicago. In the third the majority report was in favor of Sherman delegates, and the minority for Blame. A hot discussion en sued, in the course of which Mr. Dye asserted that the Third District would not vote for Blame at Chicago, and if smothered here, it would send a delegation to Chicago and de mand recognition from the National Conven tion. This caused much excitement. The minority report was finally adopted. The delegates at large are W. J. Burley, Samuel P. McCormick, John H. Riley and A. W. Campbell. The whole delegation was in structed for Blame. The delegates were also instructed to support General Nathan Guff, Jr., of this State, as a candidate for Vice- President. MICHIGAN— REPUBLICAN. Detroit, May 13th.— Yesterday afternoon resolutions were adopted that the choice of the Republicans of Michigan for President is Blame, and that the delegates are requested to use all proper means to secure his nomina tion. The resolutions favor Thomas B. Ferry for Vice-President. A resolution recognizing the services of General Grant, but opposing a third term, was tabled with some expression of impatience. James F. Fay, O. D. Conger, Perry Hannan and "E. C. Watkins were chosen delegates at large,'' all I being _ strong Blame men. jSHPfIBBHII riWBBjSSfaMnW^ WISCONSIN— DEMOCRATIC. Madison, May 13th.— reassembling yesterday John W. Carey was j made Chair man of the Convention. Five counties were unrepresented and many delegates had 7 prox ies.; The resolutions adopted declare for an indissoluble 7 union of the States, that the United States are a Nation,* and that the States have certain undefined powers, but the Nation 7 has a proper 7 supervision J over j all interstate and international affairs they de nounce the heresy of civil war, as also I that of centralized despotism,' and the rebel war claims are bitterly denounced. '.They 5 de clare for an irtercbangeable gold,' silver and f'-Ajp Bij3£%__9BES99&__ paper money, and the economy of the Dem ocratic Congress is commended. The Union soldiers are praised, and I the troops jat the polls denounced. Delegates from the Con gressional districts were then chosen, but not instructed. VERMONT GREENBACK LABOR. Montpelier, May 13th.— Greenback Labor Convention appointed the following delegates at large to the Chicago Convention C. F. Clough, Fletcher Tarbill, John J. Bur gess and C. E. Martin. The Great Trolling natch Between Hand a and Santa Clans. New York, May 13th.— The next issue of the Spirit of the Times will contain the follow ing concerning the great $50,000 match be tween Maud S snd Santa Claus We are gratified to give this week a letter from P. A. Finnegan, owner of Santa Claus, stating the conditions upon which he is willing to trot his stallion against Maud S. One chief fear had been that the challenged party might in sist upon the mare going to California, a con dition that might have resulted unfavorably to the match but as Mr. Finnegan is willing to come East, we do not think that there are now any obstacles of consequence. His let ter is pure business and tenders it evident that he is anxious for the race. The manager of Maud S is no less in earnest, and both par ties verily believe they have the fastest trot ters in the world. The response of Captain Stone to the propositions of Mr. Finnegan ought to settle the matter. The following is the letter of Mr. Finnegan San Francisco, May 4th. E. A. Buck, Spirit of the Times Your telegram in relation to a series of races between Maud S and Santa Claus has been received. My proposition was to trot five races', mile heats, best three in five, in harness, for $3,000 a side each race. National Asso ciation rules, which in accordance with the usages of the turf would be half forfeit. This lam willing to do under the following conditions $12,500 forfeit to be deposited with E. A. Buck, or any other person Buck may designate, and forfeits to be deposited on or before Tuesday, June 1, 1830. Second— The whole amount of s'akes must be put in the hands of stakeholders before the horses are called for the first race, and before the drivers are weighed, after which the races shall be "pay or play." 7 Third Air of the series of races shall come off over one track, which is mutually acceptable to both parties, said track to be in a city which has a trotting club and is a member of" the National Association, the course to be agreed upon before one deposit of forfeit. Should the parties control ing Maud S agree to trot these races in California, the owner of Santa Claus will allow them $.">CO on each race trotted and tha privilege of selecting any track in the State which is a member of the Na tional Association. Fourth— The time of trotting shall be, if not in California, at any time the other i party may select from August Ist to November 1, ISSO," races to be one week apart. If on an Eastern track, the time of the first race to take place shall be Saturday, August 23th, and others on the Saturdays following, there being a week between each provided, how ever, that the track and day are good and in case there should be a postponement on account of weather or track, the race shall take place on the first good day and track following; provided there are three days between that and the next race of the series. In case there should not be three days intervening, then the next race to be postponed one week, and so throughout the series judges to be the persons who shall say if the track and day are good, and their decision in this case to be final. Fifth— Judges shall be selected in the following manner Parties to these matches to select a judge each, and these two to select their associate. In order not to confine one set of men to judge the whole series, the selection shall be made for each race and on the day of trotting. In case the judges selected by the parties cannot agree on a third per son, the P. esident of the Trotting Club, or some person he appoints, shall make a selection. Further more, the owner of Santa Claus will give the other party the privilege of naming for the trots to take place one of four States, viz Illinois, Ohio, New York or Pennsylvania, and he (the owner of Santa Claus) or his representative will select tie track to trot upon. In any case, the course selected shall be a mile in circuit. Sixth— receipts from any and every source shall be divided in the following proportions, viz: Seventy-five per cent, to loser of tbe rice, settle ment to be made at the conclusion I each race, and the winner of each race to receive the above pro portion, and the loser his quota of the money when tbe race is trotted. Yours, P. A. FINNEGAN. A HITCH IN THE ARRANGEMENTS. Cincinnati, May 13th.— Captain George N. Stone, who has the management of Van derbilt's Maud S, having Been the letters of P. A. Finnegan, owner of Santa Claus, in which he states the terms upon which Santa Claus will trot a series of five races with Maud S, says he cannot accept the challenge for 85,000 a side for each race with so large a forfeit as Finnegan proposes, nor can he agree to trot the five races on one track, as sug gested by Finnegan. Captain Stone's orig inal offer was for $5,000 a race $2,500 a side and was distinctly expressed in his letter to Mr. Finnegan of April 29th, namely, to trot the series of five races for $2,500 a side for each race, with $2,500 forfeit, the races to be trotted on five different tracks, to be agreed upon by him and Mr. Finnegan before the races begin. Captain Stone has been re leased from the obligation to enter Maud S in the stake races both at Chicago and Buf falo in order to enable him to make this match. Advantage of the Northern Pacific Rail road to the Military Arm of the Cot; criiment— General Sherman's Views. Washington, May 13th.— General Sher man's report to the House Committee on Pacific Railroads, in regard to the Northern Pacific route, says In a military sense the extension of this railroad from Bismarck to the Yellowstone, and up the valley of that river as far as the mouth of the Big Horn, will be beyond any estimate of advantage the Quar termaster-General may make, because this railroad will transport men and supplies for ten if not twelve months in the ear, while the Missouri river and Yellowstone are barely navigable for light-draft steamers for two, at most three months in the year. The extens on of the road will stimulate emigrants to occupy the line of the Yellowstone east and west to such an etent as to form a harrier to the no madic Indians who have heretofore gone hack and forth from the Sioux reservation south, to British territory north, and will enable us in a very few years to give up Forts Keogh and Custer, each re quiring for garrison a full regiment of infantry and four companies of cavalry. These could then bo m ved north to the British line. By this process we could divide the hostile Sioux, and can subdue cither moiety with more certainty and much less cost than now. The committee will meet to-morrow, and it is expected that they will agree to report favorably on the bill introduced. -r. Pursuit of Papers Preparing for the Campaign— Fishery -tucstlon. Chicago, May 13th. The Journal's Wash ington's special says The Clerk of Senator Voorhees' exodus committee left for Georgia a few days ago, carrying with him all the pa pers belonging to the committee, and Senator voorhees has started the Deputy Sergeant at-Arms after him to obtain the papers if possible. Colonel Keogh, Secretary of the National Republican Committee, left for Chicago to day, where he will open an office on Tuesday next to furnish information to delegates and others.' Secretary Erarts will transmit to the House to-day or to-morrow the correspondence with the British Government relating to the For tune Bay outrage, accompanied by a letter taking a bold stand in favor of legislative action regarding our fishing interests. It is believed that he will favor the restoration of the duty on fish as the only means by which they can be brought to their senses in regard to the rights of American fisher men under the provisions of the treaty of Washington. The Forest Fire in Pennsylvania. Bradford, May 12th.— Shortly after noon to-day a fire again started in the timber-land at the head of Fosterbrook valley, eight miles from Bradford. That section is thickly stud ded with derricks and tanks. The wind was blowing a gale, and the fire swept over the ridges, consuming everything like so many reeds. Continuing, the fire swept down Train Hollow, a prolific portion of the oil-field, burning rigs, small tanks and buildings. The villages of Oil Center 7J and Adarasville, with the exception of one or two houses, were entirely destroyed. To-night the 25,000 --barrel iron tank of Mitchell Jones is in flames. No villages being located near, the danger from that source is not great. At Baker trestle, on the Kendall and Eldred Kailroad, seven miles from the place of start ing, a 5,000- barrel tank is now burning, r The railroad trestle will be destroyed, preventing trains from running. T About dark p this evening the town J of Dnke 7 Center, a place of -one thousand inhabitants, was threatened.';; The fire organization from this city went to that place, in response to a telegram for assistance. Near that town are a dozen huge iron tanks, from which hun dreds of men are now driving back the flames. A mile above Duke Center a nitro-glycerine repository came in the course of the flames and exploded with terrible force. 7 The terri tory over which the fire swept is so wide, and the p lints so inaccessible,' it is impossible to gain correct information as to the actual loss. It is estimated that two hundred rigs, besides the volume of oil. have been destroyed. Duke Center is still safe :at midnight. A falling tree struck a man named William Reed, in flicting fatal injuries.'' No other person was oon **^_B_____9Bßdß_B__H__V4__Sß_____HSß_l Bb._dkobd, May 13th.— The fire among the well* in the neighborhood of Duke Center have been subdued, and the town is regarded out of danger. J- The 25,000-barrel iron tank of I Mitchell 7 k .Tones en the White farm 'is •till burning. To-day the 10,000 -barrel tank at Baker Trestle, on the Kendell and Eldred i Railroad, made an overflow, and the trestle i was burned, interfering with the movements of _ trains. Rather formidable fires broke out this evening near Coleville and Bardell, but a large force of men have fought it bravely,' and now have them under control. The num ber of Tigs destroyed last evening will reach 300. Fires still prevail in some sections of Tram Hollow, but the greatest danger there abouts is regarded as past. New York. May 13th— Oil City dispatches say that two Tide Water tanks, containing 30,000 barrels of oil are burning, three having already been destroyed. Scranton, May 13th.— The forest fires on Pocono mountain, on the line of the Dela ware and Lackawanna Railroad, cover an area: of twenty miles wide.

Among the buildings burned are the Postoffice, house of the New Jersey Ice Company, railroad depot, Clapp's Hotel, Stuyvesant iron foundry, St. Mary's Church and all the buildings on both sides of the railroad track, covering a radius of over a square mile. I Among the fine residences de stroyed is that of Senator Wendover. A tramp giving the name of James Smith was arrested charged with causing the fire. The New Jersey Fires. Atlantic City, May 13th.— Although there are no forest fires within ten miles of this place, clouds of cinders are continually fall ing over the cit p The loss in this county in live stock, buildings, timber, etc., destroyed, is estimated at 8200,000, and to vineyards around Egg Harbor City at $20,000. In Galloway county thirty buildings were de stroyed. '--PAT Factory Burned. •..Milwaukee, May 13th. Early this morn ing the factory of the Mihills Manufacturing Company, at Fond dv Lac, was entirely de stroyed by fire.

Attempted Assassination in New York. New York, May 13th. A dastardly at tempt was made yesterday by some party or parties unknown to kill Spanish Consul-Gen eral Hypolito Duriarte by means of an infer nal machine by means of a package concealed among his letters, about eight inches long and three wide, done up in a brown paper box. He used his penknife to open it, and immedi ately he took the cover off the box there was a loud explosion, and some balls of fire shot out of the box, burning the carpet and the Consul's coat, and scorching his hands but otherwise doing no further damage. Exami nation of the box showed that its purpose was to kill the person who opened it. Inside of it was a quantity of gunpowder, a large percussion cap, and what is supposed to be nitro-glycerine. It was postmarked Phila delphia, private." Detectives have been set to work. The Consul-General has no idea as to who sent him the deadly package, but surmises that it is a Cuban plot to destroy the life of a Spanish official. i The 'l. E. Conference— Fourth Bishop Elected.

So high an authority as Dr. Kalloch professes to think it worth carry ing on, and the Baptists have talked about it as though it were alive undertaking. It "J appears to us that of all the humbugs which sport around this sublunary sphere, the Chinese Mission humbug is one of the S least plausible. All missionary work is more or less fallacious and fantastic. It is all undertaken in a grotesque and amaz ing ignorance of the need that exists at home for just such enterprises, and an obstinate determination not to recognize the utter futility of assaults upon other religions precisely as strongly rooted and quite as well defended as that which our missionaries proclaim. But the attempts to "evangelize" the Chinese are so pre posterously hopeless that when grown-up men meet and solemnly discuss the "prospects" of such work, we wonder that they are able to avoid laughing in one another's faces. The Chinese have religions of their own, all of which are very much older than Christianity. They are the most opinionated people in the world. They look upon all the Western nations as com parative barbarians. And the experience they have had of American Christianity is ynct perhaps (at least in San Francisco) cal culated to give them a very favorable idea of its spiritual advantages. Moreover they do not become' converted. We are aware that they will sometimes attend Sunday school classes, but they go there because they find it a convenient method of learn ing to speak English, and they want to speak English because they can earn more money if they are familiar with the lan guage. Bat they do not become Chris tians. Sometimes they develop into hypo crites and fraud?, of the renegade kind, and consent to appear as shining examples for the vindication of the missions. But they do not change in reality, and when they have made all they can out of the business they go back to their Budd hism or Siuitooism, their worship of an cestors and their perusal of the Analects of Confucius. It is a distinct waste of money to spend it upon Chinese mission ■work, and the sooner this fact is realized the sooner will that leak be stopped, and ■_. the funds so squandered be diverted to -'"some purpose tending to the benefaction of those of our own household. SHERMAN ON FREE SHIPS. Secretary Sherman made a neat little speech the other day on the prosperity of the country, and in the course of it said some bold and true things about the shame fully foolish policy which has wrested the carrying trade of the continent from the hands of American citizens, and thrown it all into foreign bottoms. Bat Mr. Sher man did not at the same time call atten tion to the equally shameful and equally foolish fiscal policy which circumscribes American industry and commerce, and which builds a Chinese wall around the country, for the special benefit of a few manufactures which do not require such pro tection, and which ought not to have it even if they did. The tariff is, after all, a much greater hindrance to the pros perity of the country in other ways than in its bearing upon our mer cantile marine, and those who j attempt to expose its mischievous effects 'in one direction ought not to ignore its universal paralyzing influence. Mr. Sherman prob ably perceives that the demand for free ships is growing formidable, and he is too old a politician not to avail himself of the current of public opinion ;as soon as it is strong enough to waft his bark along. But like too many other politicians he is afraid of the protectionist interest as a whole,' -nil so he only pecks at the tariff, and pre tends a willingness to let its worst and most malignant features remain. J There will have to be more zeal and courage than this in the Free Trade movement before it can be made successful. 'JJ J LEAGUE AGAINST LAW. Later accounts 'of the Mussel Slough tragedy do not tend to make the details any clearer, and it still remains undeter- mined by which party the firing was com menced. The statements on this head are conflicting. One is to the effect that Crow and Hartt both sprang from their wagon together, and began firing. Another is to the effect that the first shot was fired by one of the settlers, that it struck Hartt, and that he did not fire at all. J The evi dence of Deputy United States Marshal Poole, and that of Clark, the grader, i 3 not at all decisive as regards the opening of the fight. Poole says he was knocked down by one of the settlers' horses, and that while he was down the firing began. Clark says that his horses ran away the instant the first shots were fired, and he could not say who fired first. It is stated that the position and direction of Hartt's wound seem to support the assertion that he was shot while sitting in the wagon, and if this is so the probability that the settlers opened the fight ill be strength ened. It is to be presumed that the Set tler's League will not be permitted to set the laws at defiance, and establish an im peri it in in imperio on their own ac count, and that j therefore the whole case will be made the subject of judicial inquiry in due time. It is however necessary to meet the studied attempts which are being made in certain quarters to create sympathy for these men, by emphasizing the fact that they have from the first manifested a set purpose to defy the law, and that the tragic events which have just occurred are but the culmination of a long course of law lessness on their part. It is also proper to point out that the arguments they use are not supported by the facts in the case. That they have, so far as any trustworthy evidence goes, 'been treated with a patience and moderation which they have never shown the least appreciation of. That they have shown a determination to hold on to lands which belong to other people, regardless of all judicial decisions. That they have refused to avail themselves of the opportunities repeatedly afforded them of acquiring lawful possession of the dis puted lands. And that the League which they have organized can be regarded in no other light than as a machinery for overriding ihe law by brute vio lence, and of retaining possession of property their title !to which has been declared altogether in valid. To the assertion that "the rail road company ought to have waited still longer before resorting to summary processes, we reply that there was no reason whatever for any such procrastina- tion. It had become perfectly apparent that the settlers were resolved to resist the law, and there could not have been any ground for supposing that a postponement of action would produce any change in their policy. The men who had bought some of the lands in good faith demanded possession of their purchases, and it became impossible to resist their impor tunities. They had a right to make this demand, and it wa3 incumbent on the com pany to put them in possession. With such a lawless organization as the Settlers' League it is plain enough that the collision must have occurred, no matter when the attempt was made to enforce the law. It is not for the interests of Society that there should be any confusion of thought in regard to a matter of this kind. It will never do to let men set up their own version of a story against the judg ments of Courts, as an excuse for or pallia tion of lawlessness. This Settlers' League assaulted a United States Marshal in the performance of his duty. They undertook to bulldoze him precisely as a Southern White League might undertake to bull doze a Republican candidate or a negro voter. Having bsen beaten in the Courts, where alone they had a right to make any contest, they thrust the laws aside, and declared they would hold the lands they occupied, right or wrong. That is their position, and nothing better can be made out of it. All that they say about the terms demanded by the railroad company is irrelevant. The lands belong to the company. The present settlers had no prior titles or equities, according to our in formation. It was for the owners of the lands to say at what rates they chose to sell them, and those who did not like the terms were not obliged to pay them. But they could not arrogate to themselves the right to fix the price of the land, though this is what they have endeavored to do and when they were dis satisfied with the ternn offered they could not be justified in refusing either to buy, lease, or vacate, though this is what they did do. They have in fact gone out side the law because it did not suit them, and they have incurred all the responsi bility for this bloodshed, and whatever further disaster it may entail. It seems probable that they calculated upon their ability to make use of the common preju- I dice against corporations, to obtain the I lands they occupy without making any payment fir them. They have, however, gone too far, and it is now inevitable that I the case should be settled in accordance with the law, and without further hesita tion or temporizing. The security of so ciety depends mainly upon the general re gard for judicial decisions and legislative enactments, and no specious plea must be allowed to blind the public to the inexor- i able necessity of upholding these mani- I .stations of the popular sovereignty. J|:J X 1 m... THE BAPTIST CONVENTION AND DR. KALLOCH. The Baptist Convention yesterday was the scene of an attempt to disfellowship Dr. Kalloch, but a test vote showed that a majority of the delegates were opposed to the proposition, and the condemnatory resolutions which it was sought to intro duce were tabled. There is a sense of pro priety about this outcome which does not always manifest itself on such occasions. Dr. Kalloch may not be an ideal Christian and minister of the gospel, but whatever he is to-day that he has been for a long time past, and if his presence in the con ferences of his denomination is regarded as prejudicial to the interests of the church, this consideration ought evidently to have occurred many years ago. The movement to withdraw the hand of fellowship from him has in fact been made altogether too late to have any salutary effect. 7 His church has accepted all the responsibilities attaching to his affiliation with it too long to be capable of making a sincere or ef fectual protest now. Nor can it be for gotten that the act of condemnation and repudiation contemplated by his ill-wishers would have, from the very nature of the Baptist "organization, no J authority or significance. There is in that church no central _ power vested r with the authority to J discipline _J or expel obnox ious members. Every church.; is a J law, to itself, and Dr. Kalloch's own church would doubtless learn with something like V o_VKf*-*»-an" ..--.y- p^rrrir-, r. m.^-rrr °_ -_*.., indifference I that the ministers fof other congregations had undertaken to cut him off. Jj It was therefore better that the Con vention should take the course it did, and suppress the zealots who were so unreason ably eager to vindicate the denomination I from a stigma already too deeply implanted for eradication. Perhaps also the reflec tion arose to some minds in the Convention that there might be a certain inconsistency in the attempt of a number of not partic ularly successful or flourishing or influen tial preachers for the most part dozing away their lives over homeopathic congregations in out-of-the-way hamlets to sit in judgment upon one who, whatever his faults may be, is incontestably one of the meat eloquent and popular ministers i on the Pacific coast, and who has built up for himself a strong and well-to-do church in the metropolis, and has succeeded in attaching his congregation to him in a very remarkable way. If success in his voca tion is a test of fitness for it, we suppose it must be admitted that Dr. Kalloch is, like Pitt, "a Heaven-born Minister." Certainly he bus done what very few other preachers in California have done, and whether this is owing to his own surpassing wickedness, or to the strong taste of his congregation for depravity, the external indication* re main the same. Indeed the causes and the significance of the professional success of such preachers as Dr. Kalloch would afford a peculiarly apposite text for one of those essays or sermons which are read at these denominational conventions, and we are in clined to think that a faithful analysis of the subject would prove more instructive than the ordinary disquisitions upon ab struse doctrinal points are apt to be. He is a type and a figure which the pious have never sufficiently studied. Perhaps it might be suggested by the wicked that his success is an evidence of the stimulus which is given to churches by divorcing them from religion. The subject, however, is much too suggestive and interesting to be discussed hurriedly, and so"*tve commend it to the prayerful consideration of the Con vention as a possible topic for future ex position. "THE STARS HAVE SAID IT." It is not often that occult art deigns to meddle with purely practical and everyday concerns,' and therefore when an exception to the rule occurs we are disposed to make the most of it. Such an exception we are now called upon to note in the fact that a Maryland astrologer, Mr. Samael by name, has been constructing the horoscopes of the two national conventions, and has de rived from the stars some very remarkable and interesting information regarding the approaching campaign. As Mr. Samael has discovered that the Democratic candi dates have no chance of success, he did not give the details of their horoscopes but in regard to the Republicans he has been as explicit and circumstantial as could be desired. He finds the Republican aspects exceptionally fortunate. The fifteenth de gree of Virgo ascends, and Mercury, which rules that sign, is lord of the ascendant. The mere announcement of this fact will of course carry terror to the heart of Mr. Tilden," who no doubt knows its deep and dreadful significance. The Moon is also fortunately situated, and as the Moon rep resents the people, according to Mr. Samael, this shows "that the party will "nominate a man who will give more general satisfaction than several of their "past choices." Mr. Samael finds from the stars that there may be some trouble about seating the 'Republican candidate after he is elected, and that there are apt to be riots and other disturbances, but this will pass over, and everything will coma right in the end— unless indeed, which is also possible, a tidal wave of Communism should sweep over the country, and "bury "the present republic and its two great "parties in one red, blazing gulf of war." This is not altogether reassuring, and it could be wished that the stars had been more precise in their information, but we suppose it is necessary in astrology to take whatever comes. When Mr. Samael gets to the heavenly analysis of the candidates he becomes more interesting, however. Of General Grant he finds that "his direc tions' are evil, the Sun applying to "Uranus in radix, in the tenth hour. "The Transits also were evil. Jupiter was in quadrant (an evil position) to Herschel, radix Saturn also in quadrant "to the Moon, and Mars in apposition to "Uranus." From all of which Mr. Sam ael concludes that the ex-President will not be nominated at Chicago, and indeed if he is that kind of a candidate we should think even Cameron and Logan would hesitate about urging him on the Convention. As to Blame the Maryland star-reader is equally confident that he cannot succeed. The Sun afflicts the place of Mars in the radix, Jupiter "afflicts his own place at birth, and the Sun afflicts his own place, also Uranus' place at birth. After that it is of course idle to think of the Maine Senator as a Presidential candidate any more. The stars in their courses fight against him, I and he might as well give up the contest. Washburne, too, is pronounced out of the fight, but as to Sherman a different tale is i told. "Jupiter in Mr. Sherman's horo ".scope had just passed an evil aspect of Uranus, which was the causa of, the censures so often passed upon him. The transits of this summer, espe cially during the Convention, would be good. Saturn is Well placed to the posi tions of the Sun and Moon. The Sun is in conjunction with the place of Jupiter "at birth an excellent sign. Mercury is "so also. Uranus is trine to his own place. Jupiter ia in semi-sextile (good) to the places of the Sun, Saturn and the Moon." And consequently Mr. Samael is of opinion that Secretary Sherman tt ill be the choice of the Chicago Convention, and that he will be elected President of the United States. This is certainly some thing new in the way of political vaticina tions, but perhaps it is not much more unreliable or fantastic thin a good deal of the prediction- which passes cur rent at such periods as the present. A TRICK THAT WILL FAIL. We see it stated that some unprincipled parties in San Francisco are about to steal i the music of the Pirates of .Penzance," j Gilbert and J Sullivan's new comic opera, by sending musicians to I the theater to learn the j score by ear, and then Jwritejt down. Although the piece is fully pro tected \by American .as well jas J English copyright, it is said to be thought that the law can :be evaded •in this way, J This, however, is a mistake. The same trick has been tried before, and the case has been ad judicated. It has been decided that piracy is piracy, by whatever methods committed, and it" the San Francisoo music thieves thick that they can circumvent the law of copyright in the way referred to, they will unquestionably find i that they have reck oned without their host. There is in fact no way by which the music _ of a properly, copyrighted opera can be legitimately pro cured save by paying the royalty demanded by the actual owners of it. PACIFIC SLOPE NEWS.

Lemoore, May 13th.— The Coroner's jury took no evidence to-day, but will commence to take it to-morrow at 9 o'clock. A post mortem examination on the remains of Hartt was held to-day before the Coro ner's jury. All the business-houses and saloons were closed to-day, and some 900 or 1,000 people gathered at the cemetery at Graugeville to attend the burial of Kelly, Knutson and Mc- Gregor. Nearly 200 carriages and a large number of horsemen followed the remains. Henderson had previously been interred at Hanford in the morning. Certain citizens who are looked upon as friends to the railroad company have left, but the Settlers' League denies having anything to do in the premises. For two nights past, a guard has been placed by the League at the railroad buildings to prevent incen diarism. There is little excitement, and there seems to be a determination on the' part of the League that no overt act should -be com mitted yet they are determined to hold their homes at any cost. No trains have arrived since Tuesday, and no mails have been received yet. It is thought that the trains might be run with perfect safety. A Citizens' Committee has been appointed from Hanford and Lemoore to try and effect a compromise with the railroad. It consists of L. J. Oppenheimer, J. H. Melone, James Manasso, I).

The Latest Attempt at Assassination— Washington Territory Odd Fellows. Portland, May 13:h. A most dastardly attempt was made yesterday to murder 3. K. Phillips, purser of the steamer Orient. Just before the steamer left the wharf an unknown man stepped on board anil offered Phillips two cigars, which ;he accepted. Soon after he began smoking one, when it exploded, lacerating his left hand and nearly blowing off three fingers also nearly blowing out his left eye. The other cigar was cut open, and in the center was found a large dynamite fuse cartridge. Phillips is very severely injured, but will recover. pp Fortunately he had just taken the cigar from his mouth, or he would have been instantly killed. The would-be assasrin has made his escape, but the author ities are ferreting out the matter. Phillips is the priucipal .fitness in a very important criminal case soon to be tried here, which offers some motive fur the diabolical plot. Certain persons j are strongly suspected ;of complicity in the attempted assassination.-,. p. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows for Washington Territory has elected the follow ing officers G. T.

[SPECIAL BY TKLEORAVn TO TUB RECORD-CMOS.] Senate. ■Washington, May 13th.— Voorhees submitted a resolution asking the Secretary of the Interior for the names of all land-grant railroads, particulars as to the amounts of land earned and owned by each, and also the amounts claimed but not earned, to gether with other facts. Adopted. Tho morning hour expired and the Kellogg reso lutions came up. Hampton argued that the case was adjudicated and forever settled, and the accession of another party could not change the status. If reheard now the case might be reheard again and again. All his sympathies were with the contestant. He dared not enter the political questions involved, but the Senate .had no power to redress Louisiana wrongs* He referred to the Repub licans of the Senate who sacrificed their own feelings to seat him (Hampton). He referred to bis military services in his State, and by implicit tion asser ed that he needed no defense from Hill and could guard bis own honor. He would follow his conviction of duty and right regardless of conse quence. Carpenter said Hill argued that the Senate might unseat a person if bis State, after his election, rec ognized another Legislature. This would make the State, not the Senate, the judge of who shall be Senator, He made a careful and deep argument to show that the case was res adjudicata, and dissected Hill's argument with considerable skill and humor. He quoted from several legal authorities especially to show that the decision of the Court of final juris diction was irreversible, though it made black white and white black. Its decision might not be right, but 'twas final. Adjourned. House, Washington, May 13th.— Townsend, of Illinois, claimed the privilege of introducing a number of pe titions for free salt. The Speaker ruled them out. Cobb introduced a bill appropriating $9,000,000 for deficiencies in pensions the present fiscal year. There was an angry colloquy between Cobb and Blackburn as to whether the Committee on Appro priations had directed this bill reported. The bill was referred back. Monroe explained his position at to the report on the Venezuelan claims. Springer contended that many Venezuelan claims were dishonest, and criticised the action of Urth in acting as attorney for the claimants while Congress man. Monroe declared that Ortli's gubernatorial canvass had nothing to do with the report of the Committee on Venezuelan Claims. He had objected to the in corporation of Orth in the committee's report chiefly because he had high respect for Ortb, and believed him innocent, although injudicious. He had argued the point with Springer. Springer had taken the other view- of the case, but had yielded for the sake of unanimity and to secure the passage of the bill, and Ilia passage respecting Orth was omitted. Springer said lint if Orth had not impugned his course as a member of the For eign Affairs Committee, he would not have spoken. He then proceeded to show that bis conduct in the matter was not for partisan pur poeea. but from a Bens, of official duty. He explained that the Chicago Times had published an uncorrected rt'|iort in advance, through a misunder standing between the publishers of the paper and their correspondent here. This published report contained eofßO paragraphs respecting Orth which the later and authentic report omitted. He charac terized Orth's being an attorney while Congressman as a violation of the Revised statute? and a disgrace to civilization, and submitted to the Bouse and country whether his report is justified by the facts or not. Orth replied with great bitterness, accusing Springer of personal and political malignity and enmity. He declared that he would at a future time make certain exposures, and Springer defied him to make them now. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the legislative appropriation bill, the pending amendment being Hooker's, for the pay ment of persons informing on violators of the in ternal revenue laws. Davis of North Carolina said such informers were used for political purposes. Kelley said that by striking at the laws which re pressed illicit stills the Democrats furnished the Republicans with ammunition which would more than counterbalance all local popularity among the Moonshiners which t hi y would gam. The amendment was rejected, and the committee rose. Hecsss till evening. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT. Thursday, May 13, 1850. Court met pursuant to adjournment! Present R. F. Morrison, C.

Appointment of Standing Committees Quadrennial Address of the Board of Bishops-Reports of-Era li§F ternal Delegates. ''S|^i_________^_^^^^^^ [Special Report to the Record-Union.] Cincinnati, May 5, 1880. The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church convened at Pike's Opera House on Saturday, May Ist. It was called to order by the senior bishop of the church, the venerable Bishop Scott. The roll was called, and of the 397 dele gates composing the Conference but few were absent. The address of welcome was delivered by Bishop Wiley, and Bishop Simpson was called upon to respond. Dr. George W. Woodruff, of New York, was elected Secretary by acclamation. This is his third election to this office. The delegates spent the Sabbath at the different churches in Cincinnati and vicinity, many of them preaching to the delight of large congre gations. t THE SECOND DAY Was occupied mainly in constituting the large standing committees. These commit tees were formed in the usual way, viz By the call of the Annual Conferences, and by the Chairman of each Conference dele gation nominating one member of his dele gation for each committee. The following committees, each consisting of 95 members, were thus constituted Episcopacy, Itiner acy, Education, Boundaries, Revisals, 1 Book Concern, Freedmen's Aid, Missions, Church Extension, Sunday-schools and Tracts, Lay Representation and State of the Church. The Chairmen of these dif ferent committees are Episcopacy, J. M. Trimble, of Ohio Itineracy, D. _______ Whe don, of New York Missions, C. H. Payne, Ohio Education, E. O. Haven, New York Revivals, Joseph Cumming, Massachusetts; Sunday-schools, Lewis R. Miller, Ohio Church Extension, C. H. Fowler, New York Freedmen's Aid, J. P. Newman, New York Book Concern, Amos Shinkle, Kentucky Lay Representation, E. O. Stannard, Missouri State of Church, Dr. Olin, Wyoming Conference. To these committees will be submitted the memo rials, petitions and resolutions coining be fore the Conference. THE ORDER OF THE DAY FOR TUESDAY At 10 o'clock was the presentation to the Conference of the quadrennial address of the Board of Bishops. This address was read by Bishop Simpson. It was pro nounced by many the most admirable doc ument of the kind ever presented in the history of the Church. It was listened to with marked attention and frequently were its sentiments applauded. Those parts of the address which elicited the most hearty applause were its more conservative por tions, from which we infer that the pres ent Conference is not in a mood to make many changes. The address reviewed the work done in the last four years, and glanced at the prospects for increased use fulness which the coming quadrennium presents. It developed the gratifying tact that during the quadrennium just closed the Methodist Church had erected one new house of worship for every working day of that period, and one new par sonage for every two working days in that time, the progress in almost every other direction being equally gratifying. Among the recommendations contained in this address was one calling upon those interested to seek to relieve the churches throughout the Connection of any debts that may be resting upon them. Another suggests that the instruction im parted in our Sabbath Schools be made more thorough and doctrinal. Another that the period of time those entering the ministry are required to remain on trial be extended from its present limit of two years to three years. It was also suggested in the address that great care be observed by the Conference in the selection of men to fill the Episcopal office, and that no more new Biehop3 be elected by this Con ference than are absolutely needed to meet the requirements of the work. At the last suggestion there was a perceptible elonga tion of the countenances of the many del egates who are hoping to be elected to Episcopal dignities, brought about doubt less by the reflection thai if there are only a few prizes to be distributed they may possibly not be among the fortunate ones. WEDNESDAY The reports of the fraternal delegates sent by the last General Conference to the M. E. Church South, the Reformed Episcopal Church, and the Wesleyan Church of the United States, were presented. The two former were all that could be desired, set ting forth the facts that the fraternal mes sengers had met with a cordial reception, and that, so far as those Churches were concerned, they entertained feelings of true fraternity toward the M. E. Church. But the report of Dr. Lynch, the delegate to the Wesleyan Connection in this coun try, created a good deal of merriment. The reverend gentleman, it transpired, though he -carried the olive branch of peace in his hand, had not been well re ceived. Presenting himself to the Confer ence of that body, he was immediately asked by the presiding officer whether or not he was a member of any secret society, and replying that he was a Mason, he was pointedly informed that the church could have nothing to do with him. Poor Dr. Lynch was nonplussed for the mo ment, but soon recovered sufficiently to give the Wesleyan Church to understand that if it could get along without him he could without it, and to return to the Ark, whence, as a dove of fraternity, he had gone forth without being able to find rest to the soles of his feet, thanking God that a poor Mason has one place of security, and to be finally vindicated, as he was on Wednesday, by the General Conference. We may add that it will probably be a long time before the M. E. Church sends another fraternal messenger to the Wes leyan Connection, and that should this ever be done, that messenger, if he can help it, will not be Dr. Lynch of Indiana. In this Conference are many distinguished men judges, lawyers, educators and eccle siastics of national fame. There is some thing inspiring in the sight of such an as semblage. The ablest debater is Dr. James M. Buckley, of New York. Other men quite prominent in the business of the Confer ence are Dr. Smart, of Michigan Dr. Paxton, of Philadelphia Dr. Jewett, of Illinois, Dr. Walden, of Cincinnati Dr. Trimble, of Ohio Drs. Haven and Olin, of New York and, as a matter of course, Dr. Woodruff, the genial and witty Sec retary of the Conference. Of the Bishops I have this to say The heaviest is Bishop Peck the lightest, Bishop Bowman the most dignified, Bishop Foster the most eminent, Bishop Simpson the most aged and venerable, Bishop Scott the jolliest and most busi ness-like, Bishop Harris tho quietest, Bishop Wiley the most polite, Bishop Andrtws the plainest and moat genial, Bishop Merrill. Bishops Bowman and Fos ter are widowers. The nine Bishops pre side over the Conference in turn, in the order in which they were elected to office. They are a grand set of men, and are greatly loved and implicitly trusted by the Church. H. T. NE77 ADVERTISEMENTS. 8 Mw_i:il MeeilnK ,or Sacramento fi Lodtre. No. 49, F. and A. M..

Disfiguring the Capitol.— There needs to be more care manifested by the watchmen and porters at the State Capitol. It would not hurt some of them to have half-hourly beats through all the building. This splendid pile is already sufficiently dirty and in need of paint and renovation. Yesterday in broad day-light some boys removed the gas cock from one of the clusters of gas lamps on the southern front stairway, and the gas soon filled the corridors and hallways, not only offending the senses, but adding to the dis coloration of the walls. The walls of several of the corridors, passageways and the exterior walls of the dome have been very badly marked up and disfigured by chalk pencil and char coal,and a whole library of directories could be compiled from the records made by the Toots, Snips, Fitzdoodles, Noodles and Nin compoops who have attained fame by em blazoning their names in every conceivable style of chirot;raphy upon the walls. Much of this has been done the past winter and spring, and latterly the most disgusting ob scenity has been introduced into these wall records. There ought to be some way to stop this vandalism, some supervision exercised so that it shall be difficult of accomplish ment. The dome of the Capitol has now become an unlit place for a modest person to visit lor children and women to ascend into. The truth is there is too much freedom with this public property, too much unrestrained roaming about through it by youngsters not in charge of parents, guardians or watchmen. I". will cost a round sum to blot out the stains now on the walls, and a tn.ich rounder Bum if they continue to increase as fast the next three months as they have the last three. In European countries it is said such dis figuration of splendid structures like the Capi tol would be next to impossible. It ought to be so here.

One of the witnesses in the case was Bill Essig, from San Q.ientiu, who is now serving out a sentence from conviction in the same trans action. There is oue more to be tried, and one still at large who were known to Le con cerned in the rubbery. Test Case. The San Francisco Freeholder case was before the Supreme Court yesterday. It is an action to determine the validity of the recent Sin Francisco election of members of a Board to frame a charter. In the Su perior Court pro forma judgment was en tered for J.

"Fifteen."— "Fifteen," the gods be praised, has about disappeared from the Fide walks, ..hop-windows, saloon bars and hotel offices. To what extent it still clings to the households of the city cannot confidently be stated. The crop of lunatics resulting from it has been about gathered in, anil, as the •ensus is about to be taken, it may be well to suggest to Superintendent Walker to have statistics gathered as to how many people got upon the ragged edge of despair over fif teen."

Breeze Prospect and How It was Spoiled. The Convention met at 9 o'clock a. M. Half an hour was spent in devotional exer cises, after which the regular business order was resumed, Rev. Dr. Giiay in the chair. About 120 duly accredited delegates are present at the Convention, with many other members of the denomination from various parts of the State. The report of the Secretary of the Board of Home Missions was submitted and tem porarily laid upon the table to await report from the Home Mission Board of New York. Rev. C. H. Bateman, Home Missionary for the State, submitted his annual report, and also an aggregated report of his labors for the past five years, which were adopted. During the past year he labored 52 weeks, preached 319 sermons, added to the churches 59 persons, made 27 Sunday-school and tem perance addresses, conducted 129 prayer and other religious meetings, baptized 72 can didates, conducted 10 communion services, made 485 religious visits, wrote 201 mission ary letters, and traveled 3,616 miles in dis charge of his duties. During the five years ending April 30, 1880, he labored 226 weeks, preached 1313 sermons, conducted 931 prayer and religious meetings, received into churches 155 persons and baptized 334 candidates, made 138 Sabbath-school and temperance ad dresses, organized 12 Sunday schools, attend ed 3 dedications, organized 7 churches, resus citated S churches, officiated at 58 communion services, attended 6 ordinations, made 2,562 religious visits, wrote 1,381 missionary let ters, and traveled 24,464 miles. The Treasurer of the State Convention, J. R. Mason, submitted his report, which was received, The standing committees for the ensuing year were announced by the Chair, the Chair men of which are: On State Work, C. A. Bateman, Vacaville Sunday School", S. B. Morse, Brooklyn; Resolutions, A. L. Cole, Dixon Chinese Missions, J. B. Hartwell, San Francisco Foreign Missions, S. A. Taft, Santa Rosa Women's Home Missions, I. S. Kalloch, San Francisco Publications, C. F. Forbes, San Francisco; Next Anniversary, C. W. Hewes, San Francisco Education, G. S. Abbott, Oakland. A deficit of about $360 on salary of State Missionary was reported, and liquidated by subscriptions of churches by delegates pres ent. A proposition was received and read from the American Home Missionary Society of New York, in relation to employment of missionaries in the State, by which the Society would pay §2 for such work for each dollar raised by the State churches for the same object. At 11 o'clock Rev. Mr. Hartwell preached from the words "Behold the Lamb of God." At the conclusion of the discourse the speaker was requested, by a unanimous vote, to furnish a copy of the same for publication in the Evangel. A recess was then taken till 2 P. M. afternoon SESSION. The Convention reassembled at 2 P. M., and the time was occupied until 3 p. M. by the Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society of Cali fornia. Reports of committees were next received and considered. Under head of Committee 'on Resolutions, the Chairman, Rev. A. L. Cole, stated that upon some of the resolutions the committee was not unanimous, which was the case with the first one which would come before the Convention, and as it was presented to the committee by Rev. Mr. Abbott, he would call upon that brother to read it, and he hoped that whatever might be done or occur would be all done thoughtfully and in fear of God. Mr. Abbott then took the platform and the entire Convention at once evidently partook ot the spirit of a portentious approaching breeze. After a moment Mr. Abbott said 1 submit in behalf of the brethren and in be half of four of the. members upon the Com mittee on Resolutions the following. [He then proceeded in a deliberate manner and clear voice to read the resolutions, which were as follows Whereas, The eyes of the Baptist denomination, not only i f California, but also of the whole coun try, are believed to be upon us in this Convention at Sacramento to note what record, if any, we make as the Baptist Church of this State, with reference to the p st. irs of the Metropolitan Temple Baptist Church S. Kalloch and I. M. Kalloch— therefore Resolved, At a denomination we cinnot be un mindful of the recent events which have brought these pastors into such painful prominence, nor of the utterances and acts which have culminated in th taking of human life, and which have so startled and shocked our communities, and brought so deep a stain upon the cause of Christianity. While we feel impelled to publicly express our condemnation of these utterances nil a lest our silence should be misunderstood we ere yet mindful that this body has no ecclesiastical proven o try, and con demn or acquit, the members -of our churches. By the polity of our denomination ach minister and member must answer to the judgment of the indi vidual church of which he is a member, and each church is charged with the primary responsibility for thj purity if its membership and the excellence of its standard. And to the honest meeting of this responsibility it must answer to the denomination, to the community, and to God. We therefore give notice, as a body of Baptists in convention assem bled, that preliminary steps are about to be taken for a hearing: on this case, as between ag_rrieved churches and the Metropolitan Baptist Church and vre trust filch v ise action may be taken as will he for the purity of the denomination, for the exalta lion of the standard of life which the Master has riven, and for the future peace and prosperity of on. We put on record now, that it mat be empha sized before the world, thai we recognize but one supreme moral law by which the most prominent and the least of our brethren are to bp judged, and thai -v.- If .1.1 forth a religion which is pure and peaceable, which requires the spirit of the Master to be shown under all circumstances— its d- fense of right and in its opposition to wrong lea. the re sults in the hands of Him who hath said Venge ance is mine I will repay." After the reading upon the resolutions had proceeded far enough to give a clear intima tion of their purport, and to bring the audi ence to a death-like silence, Mr. Ka'ioch, who was occupying a front seat in the Con vention, arose and said I rise to a point of order, and in doing so it is not for any personal motive, but for the peace and to maintain the integrity of this Convention and of Bautist history. I rise to this point of order, that no charges having been made against me as pastor of the Metropolitan Church, every Baptist man and woman must know and un derstand that these resolutions ana reflections have no busings in this Convention. [Loud applause, ending with hisses. 1 I stand here ready to meet any number of brethren in the proper form and manner of Baptist usage." The Moderator Mr. Abbott will proceed with the reading of the report, if that is the wish of the Convention. Rev. Mr. Guirey moved that the reading be proceeded with, and the motion was sec onded by several voices, when Deacon Cooley of the Metropolitan Church rose aud moved to lay the report of the committee on the table. The motion was quickly seconded by twenty or mere members, many of whom were now upon their feet, and nutters began to assume a decidedly lively appearance. Rev. C. XV. Hewes i move that the churches be called in alphabetical order upon that motion, and that the votes be given by ayes and noes. According to Cushing's Man ual five members can call for the ayes and noes. $SP&&&mf®%&S&E&& This motion was seconded also by several voice*, but in the confusion which was now uppermost it was not noticed by the Chair, and a vote upon the motion of Deacon Cooley to lay the resolution upon the table was taken by a rising vote, resulting with 4. in the affirmative and 30 in the negative, so the resolutions were laid upon the table. The Convention at once then quietly re sumed the business before it Soon after. Rev. Mr. Abbott, referring to the report of the State Missionary, which was temporarily laid aside in the forenoon, moved that it lie again taken from the table, which motion, being misunderstood by Mr. Kalloch's friends, who were not listening closely and supposed an attempt was being made to get the recent resolutions again be fore the Convention, was promptly and most emphatically voted down. Upon explanation, however, by Mr. Abbott that his motion re ferred* to the State Missionary's report, a smile came over the Convention, and he was allowed to bring it up for consideration, which occupied the balance of time until 5 o'clock, when an adjournment was had till the EVENING SESSION. .The Convention asain convened at 7 P. v., and, with the exception of brief devotional exercises at the. opening and closing, the ses sion was occupied by Rev. Dr. A. J. Frost, in reading a nily-prepared paper upon "The Outlook of the Baptist Denomination in California." *^_ag_^Mja(rtPWj_BES*' BS s^^ The Convention adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. :i£f&&9otGßff*GßUß&t The programme to-day is praise service from 9 to 9:30, after which the consideration of reports will be resumed, and methods de vised to raise funds to carry the State Mis sionary work in connection with the plan proposed by the American Home Missionary Society.

It is understood that the company will aban j don the route, at least J any present effort to complete it. The situation is novel and vexa j tious. In brief the case is this The people of the whole city have long de sired a line of street railway to the City Cem etery. A franchise was granted to the City Railway Company for a line to that place. It is required to complete it within six months. It began to lay rails from Tenth street up X to Eleventh, and along Eleventh southward, when the Trustees refused it permission to pass over the Central Pacific Railroad track at Eleventh street, and in order to pass under the track, it had to take up its line and lay it down on Tenth street from N, which it did, to O, itself making a grade up to the official standard. It then laid a good track from R, on Tenth, to the City Cemetery. It next began to close the gap on Tenth by laying rails from O to R on the present grade of the street. A week ago last Monday the Trustees were peti tioned by Tenth-street projierty-owners to compel the company to lay its rails on the new or official grade. The company then asked the Trustees to give it six months' ad ditional time, and this application the Hoard laid over until next Monday. Meanwhile the work is at a standstill, but the company has nearly filled in the cnt it made on Tenth street, from O to X, and taken away most of its timbers and iron. The feeling in the mat ter in the central part of the Fourth Ward is very warm, and right along Tenth street it is simply red-hot. The property-owers claim these things First JNow is the time to raise the street to grade. Second Let the company fill in to high grade for the privilege ot laying track. Third If they do so and the grade extends beyond the two feet each side they are bound to keep up, we will pay our share of the cost of such work. Fourth To allow the company to lay rails on the present grade means to keep the street level at that plane, or, when subse quently filled up, to clutter up the way and incommode every one for many weeks. Fifth The company agreed when it got its charter to lay to high grade. Sixth It is a blarsted railway company, meaner than pizen, and it is a virtue to kick it. Seventh is easier and cheaper to raise the grade now than after the track is down. Eighth The company has voluntarily laid to high grade north of O street, and must not now dive down to the old level again. On the other hand, the railway company says First Ne\ er anywhere is a company, wanted a franchise, compelled to grade the street it is granted the tight to run on top of the street, and the duty of building up a grade is not incumbent upon it. Second company never agreed to raise the grade, but agreed and is by law required to come up to it when it is raised, and will do so. The property owners have for years refused to raise the street, but now have a spasm of high-grading," and want the company to do it for them and take the chances of payment. Third The company cannot expend money to build a grade and trust to property owners paying back a share cf the cost. It is not business-like to do it or ask it. If the prop erty owners will raise their street to grade we will run on it, keep the number of feet quired of us in order, and comply with the law. Fourth raise to grade now will make the road an elevated railway, or compel us to build an embankment with slopes that will virtually amount to grading two-thirds of the street-width. The property owners want to force us to this for their gain. Fifth If the street was already graded and we got a franchise to run on it would the city ask us to pay for the grade already built Certainly not. Sixth To build as now demanded would be so costly as not to warrant the expense. Therefore the company prefers to let the route go to blazes. Such are the issues as understood and de rived from an ocean of talk on Tenth street. Outside of that street the sentiment is almost unanimous that the company is right in its defense, but if one ventures to express that opinion on the line of the route he may expect to catch it hot and heavy and be told to mind his own business, and be asked what interest he has in the matter, and if people want to vi.-it the cemetery let them walk, but, by the great horn spoon, the railway company never, never shall lay the track on the present level. So stands the fight, and about the only losers are the poor people unable to hire hacks, who must still foot it to the cemetery to keep the graves green." S Cocper-Shop Robbed. The cooper shop of Chris. Schaefler, on Front street, between X and L, was robbed day before yesterday of a number of coopers' hoops, which he re ported to the police office, and taking -the case in hand, they were soon found in a junk store, where a small price had been paid for them. The proprietor stated that the pur chase was made from an elderly,_ blear-eyed Chinaman, who claimed them as his property. Officer Ferral yesterday 'afternoon arrested ■Ah Mow, answering the description, and who is frequently seen upon the streets gathering old rags and paper, and who was at once identified by the clerk at the junk store who made the purchase as the one from whom he bought the stolen property. His case will come before Judge Henry to-day. Kearney's Kearney's habeas cor pus case came to a sudden pause in the Su preme Court yesterday. On the' coming in of the Court, Chief Justice Morrison an nounced that the order of the Court was for a continuance of the case until Monday next, at 2 P. M., and that meanwhile counsel tot petitioner and for people would be permitted to bring up the record and all matters apper taining to the record. This is understood to include all papers and files which will tend to throw light upon the fact whether the ordi nance under which Kearney was convicted was published or not as is by law required. By the noon train Warden Prevost teturned to San Francisco with his prisoner in charge, and he will be returned to duty in the House of Correction until next Monday.

In it Miss Lewis and Mr. O'Xeil gave an example of fine art in acting that is seldom surpassed. It was a finished and in tense piece of dramatic work, and held the audience in rapt admiration. Mr. Bradley, Mr. Jennings and Mr. Barrows also appeared to tine advantage. These five showed what the true artists can do how intensely real the acting drama can be made how higher than painting, poetry or song at times the drama can rise how nearer i than any of these it can often draw to the hearts of u»en. Miss Walters and Miss Thome contributed to the general success of the piece, and were equal to the demands made upon them. The play Coralie "is simply the story of the better life of a dissolute woman who, turned from her ways for many years, rears to manhood a son who is kept ignorant of his mother and her past infamy, and develops into a maturity of honor, honesty, ambition and success. This eon seeks in marriage the daughter of an honor able and pure family, and his love is returned. The discovery of his low birth and the in famy of his mother, his renunciation of ______ bride and his devotion to his miserable parent notwithstanding her past shame the triumph of affection, and the union of the young couple despite all difficulties, form the main lines of the play. It is full of telling situa tions it is natural, real, life-like, until the close, when the ending disappoints. It is a play that appeals to the best sentiments, awakens the best emotion., presents in thrill ing situations the anguish that follows self conviction of Bin, appea's to the sense of right in the breast of every auditor, and throughout speaks to the conscience of every man and woman who listens to its text. It has no impure thought or suggestion no ig noble sentiment and if it presents one hide ous character, it is as a contrast to the pure and good, and a background upon which all that is honorable, honest and affectionate, is shown in the strongest light. It answers the only true test to be applied to the drama it appeals to the better man from beginning to end. To-night 'the London novelty. "The Queen's Shilling." It will be the last night but one of the Baldwin coin pun}*. Mysterious Alarm. No one seems to know who turned in the false fire alarm from box 13 Wednesday night. Assistant Engineer O'Merasays he removed the key from the box, and gave it to some one he don't know now who, nor did he take the number of the key. There was no fire, nor did any chimney take fire, though O'Mera says he was told there was one on fire. Inquiry develops that the alarm was false, and resulted in a race be tween two companies that might have turned out badly. The alarm was turned in by some one as a practical joke probably, and by the blundering of O'Mera the number of the key ii unknown, anil hence the party to whom it is charged remains unknown. The Assistant says the man who claimed the key said he was a special officer, and, without knowing him to be such, he surrendered the key, and lost the only clue to the false alarm— or what is now believed to have been such. This false alarm business is a crime, and an exam ple ought to be made and engineers ought not to return keys they release from b.xes without taking the number and knowing who sent in the alarm. Killed While Mining.— The hydraulic mine at Yankee hill owned by Allen __ La rue has for a long time remained unworked from the fact that it was so high that it was difficult to get water to it to carry it on.

[From Sqb Francisco exchanges of May 13th.] i Since Judge Rix has been on the bench J he lias sent before the Superior Court 173 cases of felony. Duties paid at the Custom-house yester day was $15,3% 82, making a total of 162,556 87 for the month. The annual session of the California State Homeopathic Society was opened last evening with a large attendance. The merchandise exports of the week were valued at $486, 75C an increase of $39, 1 15 from those of the previous week. In Judge Ferral's Court to-day the case of Samuel P. Chalfant, charged with the murder of Josiah Bacon, was set for trial June 3d. Jp: The latest sensation in police circles is the reported mysterious disappearance of two Sergeants of Police, accompanied by a pair of 'soiled doves. During the month of April 335 cars were loaded with freight from five ship ping points in California, and forwarded to the East. Over 300 of these cars took their freight aboard at San Francisco. The tests of the artesian well at the New City Hall show its capacity is about *",000 gallons an hour. Pumping at the rate of 8,000 gallons exhausted the well this morning, but with 27 strokes of the engine a minute it gives a steady and undi minished outpour of 6,000 gallons. During the month of April 3,424 persons arrived here by rail, and 2,762 departed. The arrivals by sea numbered 1,391, and the departures 673. The net gain by both routes was 1,380. Among the arrivals by sea were 611 from China, of which 196 were for Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. The arrivals by rail are the largest since November last, and, as a con gratulatory fact, the gain from China this year is only 159, while for the same time last year the gain was 1,419. COMMERCIAL.
