NOT MUCH THOUGHT OF HERE OF THE PATTISON BOOM. se | Brief Address by Bishop Candler—Ap- | peagers Would Like|n Str 5 Man in Indiana or New York for a Vice Presidential Caudidate. iF pointments for the Ensuing The Baltimore annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which has been in session at Mount Vernon Place Church for a week past, adjourned last night shortly before 11 o'clock, after Bishop Candler had announced the appointments for the year. There were not many changes, as the ministers appointed to the various charges at the last session of the conference were given terms of two and three years. In the city of Washington there is but one change, Rev. W. F. Locke, who has served four years at Marvin Church, being succeeded by Rev. H. L Stevens, who has been in charge of St. James’ Church, Roanoke, Va., the past year. Among the presiding elders there was also but one change, Rev. J. D. Martin of the Lewisburg district being succeeded by Rey. J. 8. Hutchinson. Rev. Mr. l.ocke is assigned to the charges at Front Royal and Riverton, in the Winchester district. Many reports were received and accepted at the meeting last evening. Bishop Cand- ler prefaced his announcement of appoint- ments by a short sermon, in which he stated that some of the changes might not be all that was desired by the ininisters, but they were in the line of duty and en- deavor, and were made according to what was thought to be the best interests of the church and all concerned. It fs not believed here that the attempt to boom ex-Governor Pattison of Pennsyl- vania as vice presidential candidate with W. J. Bryan will lead to any substantial results. The democrats ard “boxing th> compass” in search 6f a vice presidential candidate, and from time to time before Pattison has been mentioned among others. The party lead=rs, however, do not seem to be able at this time to settle on any one who appeals to them as being conspicuously suited for their purposes. The difficulty which they are encountering is that they can think of no Bryan man whos? nomina- tion would add particularly to the strength of the ticket, Bryan himself being the em- bodiment of Bryanism and controlling all the strength of that element in politics, while to nominate on the ticket with him a man holding opposing views would be counted as much of Traddle on the fssues as if an ambiguous platform were adopted. The only hope of strengthening the ticket in the vicé presidential nomination is based on location, and the democratic leaders will be satisfied if thsy can find a man to put on the ticket with Bryan whose home is well located, and whose name will appeal to state pride. They have no expectation of being able to carry Pennsylvania for Mr. Bryan, how2ver popular Mr. Pattison may be In his own state, and it has never been FOOD TO BE SENT TO INDIA STEPS FOR THE RELIEF OF THE FAMINE STRICKEN. The Navy Department Preparing to Ship Goods on a Vessel Author- ised by Congress. The Navy Department is moving with the greatest energy to do its part toward the relief of the famine-stricken peop'e of In- dia. Dr. Lewis Klopsch of the Christian Herald has notified the department that he has succeeded in collecting a large supply of food stuffs, mainly corn, for the famine sufferers, and has aypealed to the depart- ment to transport this supply to Indla. Mr. Charles Pepper was at the Navy De- partment yesterday to urge speedy action in the matter, and with success. In 1897 the Navy Department was au- thorized by Congress to charter two vessels to convey to India the food stuffs collected by private contribution at New York and San Francisco. The San Francisco stock was forwarded in a chartered vessel. The New York stock, owing to the difficulty of securing a suitable ship, was not forwarded, but was sold and the proceeds in money were sent to India. The question to be de- termined was whether the department is still at liberty to charter a ship at New York. The controller of the treasury held that the department was still at liberty to do this if the same famine which caused the passage of the original resolution con- tinued. This question of fact was referred to the State Depatment, and Secretary Hay replied that the reports of United States consuls in India testified to the continuance Easter Gloves. and Tan Undressed Kids are real swell things $1 pr.

Public schools and street extensions formed the principal topics of discussion at the regular monthly meeting last even- ing of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Associa- tion. The meeting was held at the Stra ford Hotel, 14th street above Park, the president of the organization, Mr. H. H. Twombly, preaiding. After Mr. John McDonald had been eleci- ed a member of the association, the pro- posed extension of 14th street, from L decker avenue to Spring road, was dis- cussed, the hope being expressed by those present that not only will Congress au- thorize the extension, but that it will also require the Capital Traction Company to extend its 14th street line to Spring road, and by means of a loop return through western portion of Holmead Manor, Mr. Chapin Brown, referring to the ex- tension of i6th street, stated that the liti- gation which has delayed the institution of the condemnation procecdings will probably be so settled In a few days that the secur- ing of the required 75 per cent dedication will be obtained. Mr. J. W. Somerville spoke of the pro- posed widening of Columbia road between 16th and 18th streets, stating that the re- quired legislative authority will undoubtedly be secured In a short time. At Mr. Somer- ville’s request the secretary of the associa- tion was directed to again ask the District Commissioners to erect two or three lamps on 16th street, north of Howard avenue. Mr. Chapin Brown called attention to the provision in the pending District appropria- tion act for the appointment by the Pres!- dent of the United States of the members of the proposed new school board. For one, he stated, he opposed such Rrovielon, believing the school board should be aj pointed by the District Commissioners. To authorize the President to appoint the members of the board would, he added, rob the people of the District of a large and most important part of the little portion of local government remaining in their hands, and would make their selection and ap- pointment a political matter to @ very large extent. In all other respects, Mr. Brown said, he favors the proposed legislation, and he moved that the association ask Con- gress to authorize the District Commission- ers to make the appointments. Mr. Somerville seconded the motion, but Mr. J. A. Watson and Mr. A. B. Leonard opposed tt. The motion prevailed, however, but when it was suggested that a oommit- tee be appointed to present the matter to Congress, Mr. Watson killed it by making the point of no quorum. A letter from the Historical Society of the District relative to the placing of the rec- ords ¢ of the Citizens’ Association in the so- ciety’s keeping was laid aside until the next “meeting. ———.___ Funeral of Richard Lanham. The funeral of Richard HE Lanham, whose death occurred Monday at noon at his residence at Good Hope, took place this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Bell's Chapel, Redd’s corner, Prince George’s county, Md. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. ©. Isaac, pastor of the Anacostia Methodist Episcopal Church, and the inter- ment was made in the church cemetery. The deceased was forty-three years of age, and had resided at Good Hope for abou! ten years. He was In business there for a part of the time. He was a native of Prince George's county.

Thereupon yesterday, by direction of Acting Secretary Allen, Judge Advocate General Lemly telegraphed Pay Director Denniston, in charge of the naval pay office at New York, to proceed with dispatch to ascertain the terms upon which he could charter a vessel to carry out to India the food stuffs which had been collected at New York. He was told to secure tenders from owners of both steamships and sail- ing vessels, though probably a steamer would be preferred. Dr. Klopsch was also telegraphed to put himself in communica- ony the pay officer to forward the work. that state. The difficulty the last proposition {s almost insur- Williams or Towne.

The weather bureau has issued the fol- lowing summary of crop conditions: The general absence of rain, with mild temperature conditions, over the northern districts from Montana and Wyoming east- ward to the Atisntic coast, including the lower Missouri and central Mississippi val- favorable for farming operations. ‘Whe season, however, continues late in the lower lake region, middle Atlantic states and New England, the northern portion of the last named district being still covered with unusual depths of snow. The weather has been too cool for best results in the south Atlantic and gulf states, and heavy rains have proved destructive in Texas. The week has also been abnormally cool in the southern plateau region and California, where more or less damaging frosts have occurred. Frosts also occurred as far south as the Carolinas, Georgia and the central gulf states, causing no material damage, except in the Carolinas. From Kansas and Missour! southward corn planting is unusually well advanced and is progressing rapidly, planting being nearly finished in Oklahoma and southern Kansas, the early planting being up as far north as the southern portions of Missouri and Kansas. Some corn has been planted in southern Illinois and Tennessee and North Carolina, but none has been planted further northward in the districts east of the Mississippi. Poor stands are reported from portions of Georgia and Mississippi, good stands being reported from Alabama and Texas. In the last-named state, how- ever, much damage has been done by wash- ing rains.
