CumBrRianp, March 11.—The seventh and last day's session of the Baltimore annual con- ference convened at 9 o'clock sharp this morn- ing. Bishop Merrill presiding. On account of considerable sickness prevailing here in many of the families entertaining preachers the busi- ness of the conference has been pushed for- ward with unusual dispatch. A very lengthy night session was held last night anda very considerable amount of busi- ness was pushed through in order that the con- ference might adjourn today. This morning's session was extremely lively and active, as but afew remaining hours were left to transact » large amount of business, It is & fact deserving of mention that this session of the conference will be s memorable one, not perhapsso much on account of the importance of the matters disposed of as for the unanimity and good feeling that has prevailed be- tween the members of the conference and the different denominations who have 80 kindly entertained the visitors. After receiv- ing the report of standing committees the death of Trev. James Gamble at eee town was announced. He was eighty- seven years old and fifty years. in the ministry. A memoir was ordered to be written and inserted in the minutes of the conference. Rev. A. M. Rudisill was transferred from the South India conference to the Baltimore conference. The report of the conference treasurer shows a healthy finan- cial condition. Rev. Page Milbourne, who has been conference treasurer since the last gen- eral conference, asked to be relieved. Upon request Mr. Milbourne withdrew his request. TO MEET IX WASHINGTON, When near the close of the session last night the bishop called for nominations for the place of holding the next conference, Dr. Naylor of Hamline church at Washington ex- tended on invitation on behalf of the official body of that church to hold it there. Dr. W. 8. Edwards made a id strong appeal for Eutaw Street church of i- timore. James Wright made a very earn- est appeal on behalf of Wesley chapel of Wash- ington. Upon a standing vote being taken the result was—Hamiline church, 85; Eutaw Street church, 8, and Wesley chapel, 38. Upon motion the selection of Hamline church was made unanimous. i A special train has been chartered from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company to leave here at 5:15 this afternoon to convey the mem- bers of the conference home, APPOINTMENTS.

New Yor«, March 11.—The board of inquiry appointed to investigate the charges made against Commander McCulla of the U.S, man- of-war Enterprase, Met today at the navy yard, Rear Admiral Kimberly presiding. The commission will decide whether or not it is necessary to hold court martial on the captain. Charles J.

Seamen Walker and Brown will be called upon to testify in case the court decides that a trial is necessary. Be TRYING TO CLOSE THE GAP. Today’s News From the Mississippi! Flooded District is Meager. Sr. Lovrs, March 11.—Flood news from the lower Mississippi river is meager today. Capt. Tallinger of the government service is at the Sappington Hook crevasse, above Arkansas City, with the government tug Vidalia, a pile driver, barge and various appliances for closing the gap. Work is now in rean, and it is en adjourned to meet as thought the crevasse can be closed. There is‘ no water in Arkansas City, yet the flow is pass- ing to the rear town and running into the bayous leading down to Louisiana. he levee from Arkansas City to the Louis- iana line is said to be strong and able to with- stand considerable more water. No matertal damage has yet been done to plantations, and asthe whole of the Texas bayou region in Louisiana has been notified by wire and other- wise of the situation the planters will have time to save their stock and other property. The break at Point Chicol, below Arkansas City, which occurred last’ week, has been stopped. The levees on the Mississippi side of the river to Vicksburg and below are reported good and there is reasonablo hope that there will be no disastrous break or ‘The river is very nearly ai COPSRESS COMMITTEE WORK, The Langston-Venable Contest—Other Matters of Interest Under Consideration.

P. TAULBEE. Fatal Result of the Shooting of the ex- Congressman by Judge Kincaid. TEE LATTER A PRISONER AT 4 POLICE STATION, COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN BY HIS TROUBLE— LAST BOURS OF THE WOUNDED MAN—AN AUTOPSY To BE HELD TOMORROW Surrounded by three members of his family whose loving care have smoothed his last hours ex-Representative Taulbee, who was shot by Chas, Kincaid at the Capitol on the 28th of last month, passed away at 6 o'clock this morning. He was delirious up to the time of his death and no statement other than the partly authorized one published in Tux Stan was obtained. Dr. Taulbee, the brother, the young son James and Major Blackburn were present at the last moments, Death had been expected for several hours, as the patient was visibly sinking and the final parting had resolved itself into a mere matter of time. WM. P, TAULBEE. For forty-eight hours before his death the patient had been kept alive by means of stim- ulants and hypodermic injections, His suffer- ing had been something terrible during this time; deliriam, however, mercifully took away the consciousness of pain. THE CLOSING SCENES. Dr. Coomes, the house physician at the Providence hospital, was with Mr. Taul- bee up to 4 o'clock, He says the dying man was delirious during the entire night and pars pS suffering intensely. Occasionally he woul ‘op into a restless and broken sleep. Evidently the pationt was sink- ing rapidly and « few hours would end his suf- fering. At 5 o'clock he | sore away seemingly from exhaustion, as his death wrs easy. Life seemed merely to slip away from his grasp. During the entire eleven days o° his illness Mr, Taulbee had occupied room 13 on the first floor of the hospital. The room is one of the building, having an outlook park, and now with the white over his face he a same bed. During his illne: received the devoted attention of relati friends, The sisters at the hospital have been untiring in their efforts to afford relief to the dying man, DESPONDENT FROM THE FIRST. Mr. Taulbee was despondent about recovery from the start. Soon after the bullet had done its fatal work Mr. Taulbee stated that he would surely die. Since, too, in his moments of con- sciousness he has expressed the same opinion, Dr, Taulbee, too, has had little hopes of hi recovery. The blow, however, 1s none the less severe, and both the dead man’s son and brother are bowed down with grief this morning. leasantest in the over the This has been the scene of his suffering, sheet THE AUTOPSZ. Just what the final cause of death was cannot be determined until after the autopsy, which will be held tomorrow morning. Inflam- mation, it is thought, had set in at the base of the brain, which would account for the intense pains in the head. Nothing has been definitely settled as to the funeral arrangments as yet, although it 1s ex- pected that the body will be embalmed and sent to Kentucky and there buried, KINCAID TAKEN TO THE POLICE STATION. Soou after the death of Mr. Taulbee police headquarters was notified by telephone and the message was sent through it to the firat precinct station. Policeman Thomas Oriani was at that time watching “The Cochran,” No. 1325 F street, where Judge Kincaid occupied a room. The officer had been on duty there since midnight, ashe had been several times before. Sergeant Anthony Shilling wus at the police station when the message reached there and he went and gave Policeman Oriani the in- formation. The sergeant and policeman went together to Judge Kincaid’s room and knocked on the door. The judge was in bed asleep and the officer called to him: “Get up and put on your clothes.” “Oh, let me sleep another hour,” was the response. “I can't do it,” replied the officer, “I have strict orders from police headquarters and you will have to go to the station now.” “Ig he dead?” inquired Judge Kincaid. “Yea,” responded the officer. ‘*He’s gone.” Judge Kincaid showed signs of nervous pros- tration as he neared the police station and when he reached it a physician had to be summoned to attend him. The case was entered on the blotter: “Charles E. Kincaid, journalist, thirty- four years old, murder.” THE PRISONER SUFFERING KEENLY. When a Star reporter visited the first pre- cinct this morning he found Judge Kincaid confined in the woman’s cell on the second floor. Outside paced Officer Hollinberger up and down the hallway. He has charge of the oboe and is held responsible for him. ithin the room all was quiet save now and then groan broke the stiliness. A knock at the door was answered by Mr. Howard Kincaid, the prisoner’s brother. He has been with his brother since his arrest this morning and greeted the reporter sadly. Ona couch in one end of the small room lay the prisoner entirely oblivious to his surroundings, He looked pale and sickly. Momentarily his mus- cles would twitch convulsively and a groan would escape his lips, The awful strain under which he has been subjected since the shoot has told terribly on him. He is a wreck of former self. the reporter was about to leave the prisoner broke out in sobs and called for his mother. The scene was touching in the extreme, Judge Kincaid will remain at the first precinct until the inquest is held. THE TRAGEDY REVIEWED. Mr. Taulbee having died without making any ante-mortem statement the case against Kincaid will rest entirely on the testimony ot himself and two eye-witnesses of the tragedy. One of these eye-witnesses was Samuel Donaldson of Tennessee, formerly door keeper of the House of Repre- sentatives, who has refused to make any state- ment for publication. Donaldson was with Taulbee at the time the shooting occurred, The other witness was a boy who cannot be found. The stories of i differ in one important particular. ineaid and ‘aulbee had had an encounter some time — to the shoo in the corri- r adjoining the hall of the House of Repre- sentatives on the east.

They May Defeat All Action This Session —Free Sugar, Etc. ‘The majority of the ways and means com- mittee do not seem to be making any progress toward the settlement of the sugar question, and the prospect of any tariff legislation this session is regarded as gloomy. The com- mittee will doubtless report « bill of some sort to the House, but there is a very general doubt whether they can frame one that will stand much show of & law. It is understood that four of the republican members of the committee are in favor of reporting a bill with free sugar and a bounty as one of its features. One mem- ber is opposed to any cut at all in the sugar duty; one wants s small cut and no bounty, and two wantto make quite a heavy cut with no bounty. ‘With thi in ion the ition is receiving serious consideration, BUT THERE 18 CONSIDERABLE DANGER in such a course, as enough democrats would probably vote for free sugar in the committee of the whole to put the clause in the bill, and all voting the whole bill in the House, with the of seven or eight sugar men on the republican side, might defeat the whole measure, The question of how much reduction the revenues will stand is one there is dispute u) but there isa evidence that they will not stand "any ot sit The of the fund act will save about three million of regular annual aj tion, which, in the ordinary state of thet, w ‘exter at least that much reduction of revenue; ut it is believed that the new pension legisla- tion that cannot be avoided will take more than this and leave the revenues short. THE PENDING PENSION BILLS AND THE SURPLUS. Ofcourse all the pension legislation that is being pressed cannot be passed. To pass half the big bills of this sort would make additional taxation necessary. But it is thought that the whole batch of general nsion bills will be boiled down to a limited service pension bill, giving a service pension to all soldiers who have reached the age of sixty-two. It is believed that sucha bill will become jaw, and the estimate is that it would take 100,000,000 annually, thought it might not take more than half that the first year. This would make any reduction of the revenue out of the question. This situation seems to reduce the chances for the enactment of any tariff iaw by this Con- gress, unless it is in the nature of an equaliza- tion of duties and an increase of revenue. CABLES AND STEAM SHIPS. Recommendations Made by a Committee of the Pan-American Conference. The report of the committee on commercial postal and telegraph communication, submitted to the Pan-American conference yesterday, ad- vised that steps be taken to secure a reduction inthe scale of charges over the cable lines from the United States to the republics of South America, This failing, the committee urged, charters should be granted to inde- pendent cable companies, the maximum tolls to be fixed in the charters. The committee says that the plans have been discussed by capitalists in this country for the establishment of a direct and rapid steam ship service between Tampa, Fla,, and Mobile, Ala., and the ports of Colon, Port Limon, Costa Rica, and Greytown, Nicar ‘The committee recommends toall the nations the granting of government aid in the estab- lishment of a first-class steam ship service be- tween their several ports upon such terms as they may mutually agree upon with reference tothe service required, the aid it is necessary to extend, the basis upon which they are to contribute, the facilities it will severally afford them, the amount that cach is to pay, the forms of agreement between the several governments and the nature of contracts with steam ship companies necessary to the successful execu- tion of a general plan for such service, The resignation of F. G. Pierra, the Spanish secretary of the conference, was finally ac- cepted yesterday. THE CARDINAL PRESENT.

A New York dispatch published this morning States that ‘a decided sensation” was on the produce exchange floor after the close business yesterday afternoon by the report of the statistician of the Department of Agricul- ture in regard to the quantities of corn and wheat still remaining in the hands of the farmers, “The general impression” is said to be “that the report will create a bear move- ment.” It is etated here that so far asthe wheat re- serve is concerned the figures of the statisti- cian when carefully examined will hardly be considered cause for a movement of the char- ecter indicated. It is true that the re- serve exceeds the average reserve at c im the sVebeak states of the northwest there are only 45,000.000 bushels, or barely enough for seed and home consumption, while the winter wheat states of Illinow, Mi jissouri ani * * * have only 60,000,000 bushels, half of which will be neoded it home.” That is, in these two groups of states—the only states east of the mountains which con- tribute any considerable surplus to com- merce, as the situation was explained to Stan ae is total reserve of onl; 105, bushels, or not more than 30,000, bush xcess of their own requirements. It is doubtless true. it is stated, that a part of this surplus consists of wheat which is held back because its owners consider it worth more than they can now get for it and ipo is, gerd eee statistician says, ‘ommercially unavaila! at nt prices.” There is, then, a remainder of 51,000,000 bushels, which is mainly scattered through states that do not ordinarily contribute any surplus to the markets, iu which the farmers are in the habit of keeping the surplus of one crop to supply the deficiencies of another rather than seeking an outlet for it in outside markets, and in which, as a consequence, neither the commercial nor the mechanical facilities for the speedy marketing of any un- usual ee ay have beeu provided. Those who have studied the statistician’s figures here see in them no new reason to expect a decline in wheat, SHOT IN THE LEG, A Policeman Fires at an Escaping Prisoner and Hits the Mark. Edward Dixon,a colored man who is fa- miliar with the penitentiary at Albany, was ar- restedon 14th street atan early hour this morning by Policeman John Hogan, who started with his prisoner to the eighth precinct station, intending tolock him up asa suspicious person. The prisoner went along quietly with the officer un- til he reached the corner from the station, when he managed to get away and run Seeing that he was going to escape, and knowing his character, the offi- cer drew his revolver and fired, the bullet taking effect im the escaping prisoner's leg. Dixon fell to the ground, more frightened than burt, for the bullet had not inflicted a wound that is likely to prove fatal, His name was registered on the biotter and he was then taken to Freedman’s hospital, where he was at- tended by Dr, Shadd. — The Pan-Electric Case.
