NOT DISCOURAGED BY JAPAN'S ACTION General Warner Speaks Briefly on the Situation. BOTH ON THE TARIFF The silver men Insist that their organiza- tion is ill intact, that it has not been j weakened by anything that has occurred since November, and that matters for 1898 are shaping themselves precisely to their liking. What Senator Jones Says. Senator Jones of Arkansas talks in this strain. He has just returned from a trip where he traveled as far as Salt Lake City and conferred with a number of silver Jers. In co: ‘sation with a representa- of The Star Mr. Jones said: the people pinched for tive “I found rity. beoked for the veraber; then for the 5th instant, the promise held out is that it as soen as the tariff of pros h of and now will _certainiy arrive bill becomes a law. They do not, of course, expect iteat all the means now being employed to produce it. They know that t cannot be produced by increased taxa- tic They are still for silver, and ready for the next battle in behalf of silver. They believe, too, that the next battle will be won for silver.” Japan's Action Not Discouraging. Mr. Jones was asked if the adoption of the single gold standard by Japan had proved discouraging to the silver men in this country “Not at all,” he replied. “Why should it? If the news we have received about the transactio: orreet, our contention about money is tined by Japan's action. We has been constantly appre- money ¢ s silver was de- monetized. Japan concedes this. Her gold Which she now makes her legal ten- will contain only half as much gold formerly. Thai equalizes her fixing of parity betwi old and silver at 32 to 1. Suppose the United States should fix the amount of gold in the gold dollar at twelve and a fraction grains instead of twenty-five and a fraction, would not that be a confession that gold as money has appreciated? Undoubtedly. Japan's action will not affect sentiment on the money question In this country at all.” On the subject of the tariff bill Mr. Jones said: “The bill will be thoroughly examined and discussed when it reaches the Senate. We intend to show to the country that it is a measure obnoxious to the country's in- tere and ought not to become a law. ‘Yo my knowledge that ts the whole of the democratic program. The responsibility 1s with the republicans, and if they can pass such a bill, well and good. mn. Warner's Views.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. STAUNTON, Va., March Charles B. Bishop Galloway of Mississippi this morning called to order the one hundred and thirteenth annual session of the Bal- timore conference of the M. E. Church South. The gathering is held in Trinity Church, the largest in the conference, of which Rey. J. H. Boyd is the retiring pas- tor. As is usual in the conference sessions, interest 1s centered in the changes in pas- torates by reason of the time limit and for other causes. Two new presiding elders are to be appointed this year to take the places of Rey. Rumsey Smithson, in the Washington district, and Rev. Dr. J. E. Armstrong of the East Baltimore district. Each has served four years in that ca- pacity and must retire from the presiding eldership. The changes in pastorates include the following changes and preachers: Wilkens Rev. L. W. Haslu Patuxent, ington, Rev. I. W. Canter; Fredericksburg, Rey. 8. G. Ferguson; Hamilton, Rev. R. R. 8. Hough; Occoquan, Rev. C. E. Simmons; Stafford, Rev. L. Fox; Berryville, Rev. H. J. H. Boyd Blacksburg, Rev. W. L. Dolly; Union, Rev R. H. Wilson; Allegany, Rev. J. W. Mc: Neil; Springfield, Rev. S. A. Parker. One of the questions to be discussed by the conference is the disposition of the Wesleyan Female Institute at this place. A special committee, appointed last year, will report, through its chairman, Rev. Dr. P. H. Whisner, as to terms made, with creditors of the institution, which ts prom- inent among schools for girls in the south. Last year a stock company with $10,000 capital was organized to continue the in- stitute, under the care of the conference. Preparations for the meeting in Balti- more next year of the general conference of the church will also likely come before the conference. Bishop Galloway O. Armstrong; Staunton, Re’ who 1s presiding over the conference for the first tme, enjoys the unusual distinction of having read his own obituary as it appeared in print after his supposed death. The premature an- nouncement came about during the yellow fever epidemic in 1878. The bishop, then an itinerant preacher, was stationed at Vicksburg. He refused to leave his post, and was: finally stricken with the fever. On September 5 of that year he was given up for dead, and his wife was called to his bedside to hear his last words. Many years afterward the bishop wrote the memoir of a very dear friend who transcribed the supposed last words of the bishop, and this paper was found among the friend's private papers. Bishop Gallo- way now treasures the paper, together with the newspaper announcements of his death. “Bishop Galloway is a native of Missis- sippl, where he was born at Kosctusko in 1849.’ He was educated at the University of Mississippi. After recovering from the yellow fever attack he was made editor of New Orieans Christian Advocate in In 1886 he was elected and ordained bishop, and now lives at Jackson, Miss. He has gained prominence in his’ native state and throughout the south by his ad- vocacy of prohibitory liquor legislation. "The conference embraces, geograpnica'ly, the District of Columbia, Maryland, the northern neck and valley of Virginia, part of West Virginia and a portion of Penn- sylvania. The members, lay and clerical, number about 286, and, in addition, about 150 visitors are being entertained. Reports of the state of the church in the eight districts of the conference were sub- Rev. Rumsey mitted by presiding elders. of the Washington district re- ported that the spiritual state of the church was good, and an increase was shown in Sunday school work. A new par- sonage in process of building at Manassas will complete residences for all the preach- ers in the district except the stations in Washington. Eleven churches have been built during his four years’ service as pre- siding elder. Mt. Vernon Place Pastorate. Smithson A committee from Mt. Vernon Place Church, Washington, received a little set- back last night. They have been working for a transfer to take the place of Rev. I. W. Canter, whose pastorate will expire by the time limit. One of the outside members they had their eyes on was Rev. Dr. F. R. Hill, formerly a member of this confer- ence, but transferred a few years ago io the southwestern Missouri conference, and now stationed at St. Louls. Bishop Gallo- way is understood to have given them to urderstand that he would sanction no transfers, and thus blocked their plans. Now they are looking for the best man in the conference. Rev. Rumsey Smithson, the retiring presiding elder, is now promi- nently spoken of for the vacant pastorate. One hundred and sixty-four clerical dele- gates responded to the first roll call. Rev. Dr. James E. Armstrong was re- elected secretary of the conference and named for his assistants the same men as last year. The lay delegates accredited from the Washington district are Albertus L. John- son, Henry M. Woolf, Benjamin F. Mark H. Thom: — Union’s Application Denied.

There was a busy scéhe in‘'“Fishtown” this morning on both the oyster and fish wharves. Dealers in fish are very much discouraged because of the large catclres and the low prices that are being paid for the fish. A number of boats from the fish- ing shores reached the wharf this morning, bringing about 125,000 herring and 15,000 shad. “I've been in the business a number of yeark,” safd one dealer to a Star reporter, “but never before have I seen such big catches and such low prices so early in the Season. They are not bringing much more than enough to pay for hauling them.” Herring were selling from $8 to $5 a thou- sand, while shade brought from $5 to $8 a hundred. Roe shad, it 'was stated, were rather scarce, and they brought mere than | the others when selected. “Now is the best time for packing her- ring away for the winter,” said the dealer, “for the early herring are always better and are in better condition than those caught later in the season.” THE WHITE HOUSE The President Has Not Decided to Rest at Atlantic City. f WIN AGAIN| SENATOR PLATT SAID 10 Archie Baxter to Be Third Assistant Postmaster General. STATE DELEGATIONS CALL ae eee The story that President MeKinley is going to Atlantic City this week for a rest has no truth in {t, although it is the earn- est desire of his closest friends that he should take a rest of a few days some- where. Whenever this subject is broached to the President he refuses to entertain the idea. He regards it as impossible to get away from work for a long time to come. Appointments to all kinds of places are pressing upon him, and some of them deserve immediate recognition. The Pres- ident has now taken up the papers of ap- plicants for assistant and will announce nominations of th filling any other places of promi Those who have believed that the crowds of office-seckers would diminish at the White House den’t know how fascinating the game of office-seeking is or how many people want places. The crowd at the White House today was not one whit smaller than on days during the last three weeks considered to be record-hreakers. Senator Platt Wins Again. When Senator Thomas ©. Platt calls at the White Hovse it means something. The senator makes his way to the chief execu- tive as noiselessly as a ghost. He doesn’t go as oftcn as some of the other congress- ren, but it is noticed by newspaper men that he is quickly cdmitted, that he stays some time and that when he comes out he wears that smile which 1s inexplicable to so many, but which is often interpreted as meaning succs That was the kind of a smile the senator wore this morning. It meant that the senator had succeeded landing Archie E, Baxter of Elmira third assistant postmaster general, despite the strong indorsements from his own state for the same place in favor of J. M. Dickey and ex-Reprasentative Farquhar. was back of Baxter. He didn’t g him until a few days ago, aft everybody else from New York cided on another man. Baxter, : was the man Senator Platt decided was the mest needed by the New York republicans, and his nomination is expected any day. Representative Mahany of New York didn't go with Senator Platt, but was the White House to look after some of the small offices he is interested in. He was accompanied by Louis leader of the twenty-seventh ass trict of New York. n, Wood connection with In of the the New York men there is now a story afloat doings that Gen. Stewart 2. Woodford, weuld have been in the cabinet had not Secretary Bliss accepted, is to be pressed by Senator Platt for the position of min- who ister to Spain. It is certain that no ap- plication has been filed by Mr. Woouford or his friends for this place, but that would not be n ary if he exhibited any The wish of Sena- all that would be desire cf wanting it. tor Platt would be Pritchard has desided to recom- merd J. M. Millaken for marshal of the western district of North Carolina, ana it Was expected that the nomination would have gone to the Senate today. Senaior Pritchard has not decided as to the vacani judgeship. There are a half dozen good men who want the judgeship, but it is be- lieved that ex-Revresentative Settle will have a strong pull. With Senator Pritch- ard today were Col. Wm. A. Martin, can- didate for coliector of internal revenue of the fourth district; E. C. Duncan, George Cobb, J. A. Cheek and H. C. Dockery, car Gidates for the same place. There have been no recommendations for this piace. Senator Pritchard makes it a business to intreduce to the President all candidates who come on here from North Carolina, ay they have run into the hundreds so ar, An Alabama Colored Delegation, A delegation of Alabama colored men, headed by W. J. Stevens, the noted vepub- lican leader of tnat state, called on the President in behalf of Judge George H. Craig of Selena for district attorney of the middle district of Alabama Warren S. Reece is said to be slated for this place, but Stevens has long been an influential re- publican. He told the President that Judge Craig had borne the brunt of the fignts in Alabama for years and was entitled to recognition. Representatives Cannon and Hopkins had a pleasant interview with the President in behalf of ex-Representative J. Frank Aldrich for minister to Belgium. Ex-Governor Morrill, Senator Baker and Ralph Burton, who was the republican nominee for senator of Kansas this year, were callers in regard to Kansas affairs. Among other things they would like to see ex-Representative Fitzpatrick appoint- ed as consul general to Mexico, and Dr. Boteler of Kansas City made auditor of the treasury for the War Department. Representatives Barham and Hillyer of California represented their state among the callers today. Mr. Barham presented some California men who don't want office. ‘They were General Chipman, Colonel For- syth and Dr. Rowell. Judge Rowell of I nois was with them. Senator Fairbanks saw the President in regard to some Indiana post offices. Ex-Governor D. Russell Brown and John A. Shibley of the same state were callers. Senator Wetmore was with the President for a short time. The Swiss Mission. Representative Graff of Illinois filed with Secretary Porter the papers of Dr. George A. Zeller, an applicant for the post of min- ister to Switzerland. Dr. Zeller ts exten- sively indorsed. He has the signature of Senator Mason to his papers. Senator Wilson of Washington introduced some of his constituents to the chief ex- ecutive. Senator McBride and ex-Senator Miteh- ell of Oregon had a pleasant talk with the President. It was the first visit of Mr. Mitchell. He stands as high in the esti- mation of the President as if he had not been defeated and is likely to have as much influence in appointments on the coast as ever before. Mr. Mitchell 's said to desire the nomination of Mr. Van Fleet of Cali- fornia to the judgeship in California made vacant by the selection of Judge McKenna as a member of the cabinet. Representative Burton of Cleveland, Ghio, and C. F. Leach, ex-president of the R publican League of Ohio, gave their ap- proval to the application of F. i. Morris, to be sixth auditor of the treasury. Rerresentative Bartholdt of Missouri in- troduced to the President two noted young people. They were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Foust, and they are on their way to Eu- rope on a bridal trip. Mr. Foust is a son of Tony Foust, and Mrs. Foust is a daugh- ter of Adalphus Busch, the celebrated brewer. Their visit was at a time of the day when the private secretary's office was thronged with public men waiting to see the President, but Mr. Bartholdt had no trouble in gaining an audience for the ycung couple. The Indian Commissionership. Representative Babcock saw the Presi- dent in the interest of W. A. Jones of Wis- consin, an applicant for the commissioner- ship of Indian affairs. Mr. Babcock prob- ably has as much influence as any member of the House, but he does not weary the President in behalf of a host of candidates. William M. Potter of Maryland is in- dorsed by Senator Wellington, Governor Lowndes, Gen. Felix Agnus and all the prominent republicans of Maryland for the Place of deputy commissioner of pensions. He filed his indorsements at. the White House today and feels hopeful that they will receive favorable consideration. Col, Buck for Japan. ,It is currently. reported in Georgia that Col. A. E.
