Bourne, president of the Bible Methodist church of Eugland, occapied the chair at to- day's session of the ecumencial Methodist council, Tha resolution presented yostorday in re- lation to the Metnodist federation was again taken up. After a few remarks the question was put on the adoption of the vesolution, and it was agreed to unanimously. Among the resolutions adopted was one de manding a complete suppression of the opium trade in all parts of the world. s The topic of the morning session, “‘Social Problems’ was then taken up. Hon. Alden Spears, president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, read an essay on “I'ue Church in Her Relation to d Capital.” Mr. Spears, in the course of his remarks said: Foreigners and the Elective Franchise Th 1t has wrought in t membership, has elevated them from habits and conditions that lead only to poverty and crime.

Returning severul days later she broka up a lot of furniture and tore off several of the window shutters in her frenzy. Spears had also disliked the inmates of the Evans plac 1 was a ready second t0 @ move to clean out the house. Wednesday ovening about § o'clock Spears and Clara Vine, after drinkiog heavily, drove over to the Evans place and commenced to abuse the occupants. Millie Evans and a companion were absent at the time, but returned, and getting from their carriage were met by Spears and the Vine woman, who exclaimed, “‘You're the one I'm looking for. T'llkill you!” at the same time striking her several times upon the head with a slungshot which she had obtained from Spears but a fow moments before, The Evans woman was knocked senseless and the Vine women then struck her several times and jumped upon her with both feet.

The Chilians did not do all the fighting for when the fight was ended & number of them wero found to be pretty badly nhurt, though as faras I can ascertain none of them wore killed. The American blue jackets who wore engaged in the battle wore from the United States cruiser Baltimore, and tue Chilians ‘vere from the various warships now in the narbor. At1s impossible at present to get the full particulars of the fignt or the names of the killed and wounded. There are several accounts as to the origin of the difficulty. One of them which scems plausible is this: Ever since the triumph of the junta there bas been a foeling among the lower class of people of marked host lity to the Americans, and blue jackets from the American war ships wero sometimes subjected to insults. It is alleged that @& party of men from the Baltimore was ashore and met with the Chilian men-of- war's men. The hatred of the ‘‘Yankees' led to some insulting remarks which wero resented by one of the hotter headed Ameri- cans and this brought on a geueral fight, which was attended with such fatal results. There was much excitement in the city when the news of the fight spread. The un- fortunate affair is greatly regretted in official circles and among the better class of citizens.

Akers Douglass, conservative whip, on being appealed to to explain the position, es- pecially with a view to Mr. Goschen's a nouncement at Cambridge last night in conmection with Mr. Balfour and the leadership, says Mr Goschen spoke without authority from Lord Sal- iscury. His expressions must simply be taken as a personal ackuowledgementof Mr. Balfour's services. Mr. Akers Dougiass denies that the premier has yet definitely offered the vacant post to any member of the cabinet. He would not say whether it had been offered to any one outside the cabinet — mweaning the marquis of Hartington. Toe trath of the position, as kuown to the inner official cirele, is that Mr. Balfour wants the marquis of Hartington to become the loader with the revision of the post to himself. He pleads excessive work in connection with the Irish local government bill, which ho desires to pass during his tenure of oftice as chief secretary for Ireland. Behind Mr. Balfour's ostensible reasous for not taking the lead of the party in the house of commons at the preseut juncture, he doubtless is influonced by a feeling of aversion to have his early pe viod of leadersip signalized by the coming decisive defeat of the party. Forebodings of Conservative Disaster. Noone having even casual contact with the government ministers can escape the conviction that forebodings of a grand disas- ter ut the next general election fill their minds. Already they have accepted defeat as inevitable and talk ot their personal ar- rangements consequeutupon it. Mr. Goschen koows, and appreciates as well as any one of the unionists, tuat the governient will soon collapso _and probably, like Mr. Bal- four, wili not care to lead the party in the valley of bumibation. Mr. Bal four would prefer the marquis of Hartiugton 10 take the place, both as th pliant instrument of Mr. Goschen, read at_any time to resign his functions and certain before long to go to the house of lords on tie death of his aged fatlier, the duke of Devoushire. The inde cision of the marquis of Salisbury, due to the extreme gravity of the international situa tion, the_dissensions among the conserva tives and the liberal unionists on the eve of the elections, hopelessiy damages tho posi tion of the government at the present mo- ment. The marquis of Sshsbury appears to bave been driven back upon the marquis of Hartington, from whom he has the spec pledge to assume office if a condition of af fairs arises imperiling the coalition. Late tonight the report prevailed in gov ernment offices that the marquis of Harting ton had induced the marquis of Salisbury to make a_definite offer to Mr. Goschen before calling him to take the burden of responsi bility he has hitherto shirked. Tho comments of the official organs of the French and other European governments o Mr. Gladstone's announcing at Newcastl his intention to move an order for the evacuation of Egypt awoke the liberal leaders to the prospective dangers arising from the declaration. Commuuications be tween Lord Roseberry, Mr. Gladstoue's last foreign secretary, and Earl Spencer, the coming foreign secrotary, with other leaders, have resulted in semi-ofticial explanations, through the liberal papers, putting a ploss on Mr. Giladstone's words, greatly at vari- ance with the first general interpretation, Mr. Gladstone did not mean that as soon as he obtained power he would discontinue th occupation; he would simply look for som way for bringiug to a close the present pro visional regime. Mr. James Hryce, M. P., as the next liberal under foreign secretary was put up yestorday at Aberdeen to declare that the liberals would not scuttle out of Eeypt any more than the tories, Mr. Bryce's prosunciamento, made within view of the responsibilities of office, shows that Mr. Gladstone has agamn been flounder- ing lnto a blunder on the policy which his colleagues find it necessury to correct, ‘Phe foreign office denies that the iussian reports of the Pamir question will be settle through a delimition comwission.

He writes: I have waited since the funerrl hoping that the lato Mr. Paraell's leading supporters, knowing my relations with Parnell at Boulogue, would have tue manliness to disassociate themselves from the diabolical charges cir- culated broadcast by their special organ, that Dillon and myself had hounded their leader to death.” He continues by saying that as the insinuations as to his treatment of Parncll has mnot been rebuked or repudiated by those men who knew them fulse, he felt absolved from ail obligations of silence regarding the confer- ence at Boulogne. 'Tte unaiterable basis of all tho communications with Paruell at Boulogno was first and_last, O'Brien said, his retirement from the leadership.
