MEMBERS OF THE NORTHERN BODY Bishops, Ministers and Others, and Names of Entertainers. REUNION NEXT SUNDAY The Baltimore annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will hold its sessions in the Metropolitan M. E. Church, 4% and C streets northwest, commencing tomorrow morning. At the same time the Raltimore conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South will convene in the Mt. Vernon Place Church, Massachusetts avenue and 9th street northwest. The for- mer, familiarly known as the “old side” body, dates its organization from 17S4, but in 1844 there was a division on issues which, it is said, have since been buried. The war was the cause of quite a number of the former body casting their fortunes with the M. E. Church South. For many years there has been an inter- change of fraternal greetings between the two bodies, but this is the first time they have held their sessions at the same time and in the same city, and it is believed there will be much fraternizing during the sittings. Among other things in this line will be a reunion next Sunday afternoon. The list of members of the southern con- ference was published in The Star of Sat- urday. The following is the list of mem- bers of the M. E. conference, together with the names of their hosts—the local members being grouped together at the close: Bishops and Ministers.

Everything From Wheat to Pepper and Things Found Nowhere Else. From Ainslee’s Magazine. “Considered from the point of view of what grows in them—which is, after all, the point of view of most people of today— the islands of the Pacific present every- thing from the wheat of Argentina to the pepper of Gulano, and a host of things found neither in the tropics of South America, nor im the hot heart of Africa, nor elsewhere, save within their own abnormal spheres. Beginning with the wheat and live stock and the ordinsty edibles and utilities grown in Australa, Tasmania and New Zealand, there ts @ rapid multiplication of strange and unusual prodficts as the zone of output moves north andwest. The Dutch East Indies are like the northern regions of South America, putting forth the best cof- fees from Java that the coffee world af- fords, the nutmeg’which flavors men’s milk punches and women's baked apples, the camphor that cures wives’ headaches, the Pepper that supplies taste to the far-gone Pa'ate, the ginger that brings tears to the eyes of the small boy and balm to his suf- fering midriff. From the same regions comes also the:valuable teak to calk ships, and upon which much of the future mer- chant marine of the South Pacific is likely to depend. From Java and Sumatra, up to the Philippines! and:¥ormosa, is the chief source of the world’s supply of straw for hats, of wherewith criminals are hung or salls set, of mattings for floors in- stead of carpets. .«:) “Eastward from the coast is the home of the cocoanut and pineapple, and the bread fruit, which does nek endure exporting, to Say nothing of.the universal banana. Along the shores of the farther islands the na- tives and the €hinege, whe from time im- memorial have been invaders, gather pearl shells and the long, slimy snails, called beche-de-mer, one’ of the most popular courses on the.:tables of the well-to-do in China. In choice spots among all the is- lands, spots becoming constantly less dis- coverable, the oriental food hunters find the delicate birds’* nest,“for which mandarins and financial potentates of the Mongolian kingdom pay §250.per pound that their cooks may make them soups from it. There are mineral, metal and timber resources as yet little more exploited than those tn the Philippines. There are possibilities of agri- cultural cultivation, which have not been sounded save in the southern islands, where John Bull has put the aborigine beneath his solid foot and ventured to transform the semé-tropic Into the likeness of his home country. Tobacco is growing richly in most of the larger islands, and cotton has been tried with such success that the South Sea Island product ts a considerable factor in the cotton market price lists. to a time Some sanguine prophets look when this cotton crop of the Pacific will be a competitor with the southern states.” ——— ee An eighty horse-power boiler exploded at Jara 'in Auanta, Gan idlling three, white 2, t CENTRAL LABOR UNION THIRTY-FIVE BODIES REPRESENT- ED AT MEETING LAST NIGHT. Communication Read From Bullding Trades Council of Chicago—Balld- ing the War Vessels. Delegates representing thirty-five unions were present at the meeting of the Centra! Labor Unton, held last evening in Typo- graphical Temple. Under the order of “re- ports of committees,” the fraternal dele- sate from the union to the Building Trades Counc{l announced that the council last Tuesday evening had adjourned sine die and that the fact had been officially re- Ported to the national headquarters at St. Louis, Mo. No action was taken in the matter, as the Central Labor Union had no connection with the organization of the counciJ, although a majority of the unions which constituted the council are allied with the central body. It was, however, the sense of those delegates of the build- ing trades who were formerly attached to the council that the reorganizatton of the body is necessary, and it is probable that steps will be taken to that end. A communication was read from the Building Trades Council of Chicago, which stated in detail the trouble existing in that city between the building trades and the Contractors’ Council, which, it is alleged, required all members of jabor organiza- tions, under penalty of discharge, to com- ply with rules submitted by the contractors. These rules, it is stated, were in strict vio- lation of the agreements signed with the different affiliated unions, which did not expire until April 1 and May 1, 1900, and three of the unions had agreements that run_until May 1, 1901. “One of these rules,” the communication states, “ts to deprive us of the Saturday half holiday, which we attained after sev- eral years of hard fighting. On the re- fusal of the union men to work Satutday afternoon they were pald off and told that their services were no longer required, and they have been compelled to remain idle ever since. S “The Contractors’ Council, acting in con- Junction with the Association of Architects and Real Estate Board, have succeeded in stopping the issuing of all building per- mits, thereby crippling the building indus- try and leaving the most of the mechanics in the building trades on the streets.” Government Construction of Warships A communication was read from Charles C. Hudson, secretary of the executive com- mittee of navy yard employes at New York, representing the metal trade confer- ence of Greater New York and vicinity, the Central Federated Union of New York, the Interantioanl Assoctation of Machinists of America, the Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and Lron Ship Builders, the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the Pattern Makers’ League “of America. The letter, which was referred to the legislative committee, recites that “The employes of the government navy yards of our country have requested Con- gress to have a portion of the proposed new warships built in the government navy yards, and as the naval committee of the House of Congress is about to report that Congress have constructed two battle ships and six cruisers, we request of your body and members to write to the member of Congress from your district, urging upon them to use their influence and vote to have a portion of the above work done in the navy yards. “The present is a splendid time for the government to make a change and at the same time not injure the private ship yards, for they have never before had so much work on hand, having more, indeed, than they can do. Since the war the shipping trade is busy with new vessels for the Pa- cifie Mail Company, the American and Mor- gan lines. The Union Iron Works and Cramps have ships on hand for the Russian and Japanese navies, and the Newport News Company ts constructing two new liners larger than the St. Louis, so that a transfer of government work would not ef- fect them, and we, the undersigned, believe it is a good policy for the government to build some of its ships, for it is a protection in Keeping down ship builders who may form a trust. and try to charge the govern- ment any price they see fit; but ‘by keeping the navy yards at the highest point of effi- ciency, new work, as well as repairs going on all the time, the government can build the ships that might be refused by contract ship yards.’* Brieklayer as Inspector. A statement and resolution were adopted relative to the appointment of a bricklayer as inspector of brickwork in the District. It was declared to be the sense of the Cen- tral Labor Union that “There being no practical and competent bricklayer employed by the building de- partment of this District as a general in- spector of brick construction, and believing from experience that better results would be obtained than has been in the past If an experienced bricklayer, with a knowledge of all the details of the craft, should be ap- pointed as an inspector; therefore resolved by the Central Labor Union, That the legis- lative committee be Instructed to bring the matter to the attention of the Commission- ers of the District, and if deemed necessary by the committee ‘to immediately prepare & bill for that purpose, and present the same at the present session of Congress.” ———.—_—_— A SOCIAL SESSION. HOLDS Club Addressed by Senator Lodge— Theme, the Philippines. The first regular monthly social gathering of the Men's Club of Mt. Pleasant Con- gregational Church was held last evening in the parlors of the new church building on Columbia road. After the regular busi- hess meeting, at which new members were recetved, committees announced, and plans for future events discussed, members and guests mingled in social enjoyment for a half hour, and then were called to order to Hsten to an address by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge upon the Philippines.

Consul Dudley at Vancouver writes to the State Department upon the closing of four of the largest mines in the eastern part of British Columbia, which the managers state is necessary for the introduction of mew machinery, but which the miners ac- credit to the enforcement of an eight-hour law, recently enacted, under which they received the same compensation for eight hours’ work as they had formerly been paid for a ten-hour day. The action will probably have the effect of sending miners in search of employment across the border into the United States. 2 +_____ Local Insurance Bill Passed.
