ONE BIG CONFERENCE

BOUNDARY LIXD WIPED OUT FROM I.DIAAPOLIS SOLT1I. Tvv Methnrilat Bodies Reunited After I'orty-TIiree Yrarn-The Intliana Yearly Sleeting. , Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HIIKUiYVILIiE. Ind.. Sept. 27. At 8 o'clock this maminjr the Methodist conference met in devotional services, and the roll call showed that ten absentee of yesterday were present. Immdiately after the reading: of the Journal of yesterday the moat Important question, which had been male Che special order for to-day, was taken up that concerning the lifting of the line betwwn the Indiana, and the Southeast Indiana conference. Rev?. Sims and Collins, of the Indiana Conference commission, reported the action taken by their body last week at Dloominsrtcn. and asked tha this conference concur In their recommendation. A resolution was presented and liberally discussed in all Its phases, with the mot of the speakers favoring the union. Those who opposed it were asking further time for consideration of ro vital a question. The majority of the members of the conference were In favor of the move from the first, and the speeches had no effort in the result of the vote. Finally a vote was emphatically called for by Dr. John II. Martin, who had been withholding his supcort on account of the effect it misfit have" on Moore's Hill College, of which he president. The vote showed that there were sixty-seven In favor and twenty-one opposed. The frrat congregation which had Deen listening to the discussSon of the question for more than an hour, when the vote was announced, broke forth into that joyful songr. "files t Be the Tie That Hinds," and so the remarriage of these two great bodies of Indiana Methodism was consummated. This is. Indeed, the most historical day of the Methodist Churoh In the State. These two conferences were originally one,, and embraced all of the territory in the southern part of the State. In l&l they were divided by a line running: south through Indianapolis. The eastern part has since been known as the Southeast and the other is the Indiana Conference. Many of the men who were present at the divorcement nearly half a century agx were here today rejoicing at the reunion. ni:kdkt more territory. For more than twenty-five years this conferencehas felt the need of more territory Into which to send its great men, but every proposal for the change of line has been met with refusal by the Indiana Conference. Last week that conference favored the move, and the vote to-day makes It possible for them to be united as they were in 1S5L The Bishop concurred In the vote and complimented them for the wisdom showed in lifting- the. line. The action will widen the field of the body, and the conference will take the name of the Indiana. Conference, aa it was known before the division. All the property of each will be merged into one common fund. Finally a. unanimous vote In favor brought every member to his feet. The Preachers' Aid Society had chargre tar half an Tiour and beard the report of Its treasurer. That report showed J1S.worth of property, securely Invested, and that the interest was used for the purpose of supporting- the conference claimants. They elected the following- officers for the next year: President, J. It. Lathrop; vice president, pastor of first charge, Greensbur?: secretary, John Owens: treasurer, V. M. IowtIen: board of control, Messrs. Stockman, Perry, Gavin, Deem, Woodfill and Cumback. Some time ago the Indiana Phalanx, a prohibition organ published at Indianapolis, made the serious charge against Dowden, the treasurer, that he was uslnjr the funds of the society to run the saloon business in Greensburg. The last board of control presented a report entirely exonerating Dowden from the charge and giving- the securities in which their money was invited The conference ordered a copy of the Western Christian Advocate sent to wlliam Setbor and wife as Ions as thy lived, in consideration of the fortv-Flx acres of land which thev had deeded to the society. The roll call of the elders wns . resumed, and their reports show a. great increase, both In collections and in membership, In the afternoon Rev. V. XV. Tevls preached a doctrinal sermon on "Faith," taking for his text the verse, "looking- to Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith." The vast, auditorium was over crowded to near this discourse, as it ha? been at nearly every service during the session. At 4 o'clock was held the daily Pentecostal services. CHURCH KXTKXSIOX. In the evening was the anniversary of the Church Extension Society, when Dr. A. J. Kynett, of Philadelphia, president of the society, made an address on the work and stated that since the organization of the society it had distributed more than 55,128,tXO. Two-thirds of that amount has been received from voluntary contribution, the remainder from a system of temporary loans. Five hundred people in the country had each Kiven 5250 and the society has bound itself for each contribution of that amount to erect a church worth $1,200. The report of the treasurer for the conference show he has received $$23 for this fund during the last year. The entire conference has been congratulating Itself all day over the vote taken on the question of lifting the line between the conferences. It has not been yet decided where the first union conference will be held next fall. The Indiana Conference has selected Kvansville as their next place' of meeting, but it is p:xbable that the union city where both of the old organizations touched, Indianapolis, will be the place chosen. To-morrow the devotional services of the morning- will be led by Kev. J. II. Doddridge. In the afternoon the anniversary exercises of the Woman's Home Missionary Society will be held, when Hev. T. I. Coultas will give an address bearing on the subject. The pentecostal services will be conducted by Uev. F. S. Tlncher.

LOLA SMALL JACKSON'S "STORY.Tho Evangelist's Daughter Says Her Husband Is a Gambler and Drunkard. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 27. A bill for divorce was fded at Knoxville, Tenn., today of more than general Interest. Lola Small Jackson, daughter of the evangelist. Rev. Sam Small, of Atlanta, Ga., sues her husband, James Jackson, for absolute divorce and the custody of her child, now about a year .old. Upon the deth of his father, two y ars ago. the bill alleges, Jackson inherited fcO.f.O). While at Tate Springs, an East Tennessee summer resort, he met the plaintiff In the summer of 18:C and on Aug. 2i. of that year, lie married her. They went to Knoxville to live immediately after, but Jackson soon began to drink heavily, was a frequenter at the gambling hou?es and a spendthrift. In less than a year from the time of his marriage he had squandered all his money and the plaintiff was forc;d to return to her parents, while the defendant went to Texas, where he now resiles.

Argument In Ilelialf of the Atclilnon Road Receiver. CHICAGO, Sept. 27. Assistant District Attorney Rosenthal closed the argument for the government in the Debs case to-day. He was followed by & S. Gregory for the defense. Mr. Gregory contended that workingmen have a riglit to strike, based on the Constitution, and that any interested party has a right to order a strike. The attorney declared that the United States Court injunctions against Debs were void, and that no one can be punished for refusing to obey a void Injunction. Oral argument will be concluded to-morrow, when Judge Woods will take the case under advisement. No decision is exjiected before the latter part of October. Mr. Erwln will make the closing statement In the morning on behalf of the respondents. Mr. Walker will follow with the last speech for the government. Mr. Miller occupied the entire afternoon with his speech in behalf of the receivers of the Atchison road. Mr. Miller, declared that all the ftne phrases on personal liberty coming from the counsel for the defense seemed to carry the idea that only members of unions were entitled to personal liberty. Mr. Miller asked by what right could the respondents claim to be champions of personal liberty when they called men seeking honorable labor, and who did not belong to unions, "scabs" a vile epithet in itself. One telegram referring to the fact that nonunion men were being engaged in the East to take the places of the strikers, said: 'Use no violence, but stop these scabs;" a direct request for violence, tiie attorney insisted. Again Debs declared "Eternal slavery should bo the scab's doom." If the means to be employed by the strikers were absolutely peaceable why should the presence of troops broug-ht to OnJcago simply to preserve the peace interfere with tne work of Debs and his associates? the , attorney asked. The guilt of the leading conspirators was not lessened by the fact that they may not have specifically intended each act of violence at the various points. Mr. Miller will speak again in the morning. Textile Strike Broken NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 27. The great textile strike in this city was broken this afternoon when, at a meeting of the Weavers' Union, the employes of the Pierce Mill were Instructed to go back to work.

Virginia Keiientfl a Silly Change of a HlNtorlcnl Xume. Richmond (Va.) Dispatch. Public sentiment In Virginia revolts nt the idea of Appomattox Courthouse being baptized by an order of the Postoffice Department as "Surrender." Appomattox should be its name forever. But if a new name had to be given it we should not have chosen that of "Surrender." At Appomattox our people did something more than surrender. "Appomattox" should have been left to designate the spot where Lee made his last stand, the spot made sacred by the valor, sufferings and tears of the Army of Northern Virginia; the spot which Is the Appomattox of history, and whose honors never can be lawfully divided with a village whose chief distinction Is that people leave the railway trains there to visit the real Appomattox. This we say without discrediting the new county seat. It Is a pleas-ant place, filled with pleasant people; but it is not the Appomattox Courthouse. There is but one Appomattox Courthouse, and it makes little difference that the buildings have been burned and the county seat removed. Besides the name Is now always shortened to Appomattox, and for years past that has been Its postoffice name. OUier Virginia courthouse towns are not t be compared with it. None but itself can be its parallel. Movement of Steamers. NEW YORK. Sept. 27.

OxNE OF CHINA'S PERILS SUPERSTITIOUS REVER E.CE OF THE FI20FL12 FOR. THEIR Itl I.EIt. Shattered by Defeat, TIiIm Feeling Will Give Place to Insurrection War 31ay Dlmncmbcr the Empire. New York Sun. It is now to be expected that all news of Japanese victories will be strenuously denied and contradicted by the Chinese. No matter how thorough the victory, the denial will remain the same. If an entire army of twenty thousand troops was simply annihilated, as was the case at Ping Yang, the Chinese government would issue a report claiming a victory and a subsequent retreat In order to secure a stronger position. The reason of this falsification is one that affects the very constitution of the empire. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. He alone, of the four "hundred and fifty rolllions who call him sovereign, is entitled to worship directly and pray to heaven in his own ngnt. I'.ie Cainese statesmen for three thousand years have denied the common people the right of direct prayer to the Almighty. All they can do Is to pray to lesser divinities, among whom is the Emperor, sv that he and they will in turn intercede for the supplicant before the great judgment seat of the other world. In the Chinese system it is Impossible to defeat the Son of Heaven, and the history of the land has borne out this idea or at least thirty centuries. When great revolutions have occurred they have been explained upon the ground that a usurper occupied the throne and that the rightful Son of Heaven had simply come to enjoy his own. This explanation sufficed for the manifold changes that have occurred in the Flowerj Kingdom for thousands of years. It received its first deadly blow when the English nd French captured Peking and sacked the world famous Winter Palace. A second but smaller blow was inflicted on this theory by the Talping rebellion, when the imperial throne kept its place through the aid of foreign devils on the one side aa officers of Its army, and bjt tne British men-of-war upon the other. This was a terrible awakening- for the people of the districts Involved in. that civil war, who saw for the first time that they were vastly inferior to the unknown and mysterious barbarians of, Europe. . EFFECT OF DEFEAT. To-day, when a struggle prevails between the Son of Heaveii and a country which all the Chinese books Insist upon calling: an uncivilized appendage of the Celestial empire, it must be a thunderbolt to the thinking people to learn that the barbarians are victorious and that the proteges of the Celestial world have been defeated on land and sea. There is much superstition in China, and much fear of Ihe Emperor as the spiritual rule", of the realm. If. however, his forces are beaten and his power laid in the dust. It is but a question of time for revolts to occur in all the districts which are held together by the superstitious fear of the jwwer of the throne. There is no limit to the myths and superstitions which attach themselves to the Imperial throne. It is believed by the common people that the Emperor possesses supernatural power, and that his judgments are dictated bv spiritual influences so powerful that human craft and cunning cannot avail against them. One myth credits the Emperor with the ability to see through a magical or false impersontion of one person by another; another ascribes to him the gift of being able to understand, all tongues: a third makes him an astrologer who can predict the movements of the stars, and who can tell the horoscope of any person upon whom his eyes may alight. He Is known as the "Son of Heaven." His general titles come very close to the European ones, such -s "Your Highness. or "Your Excellency," but are not quite 3 exaggerated as the Spanish and Portuguese epithets of "Most Illustrious," "Most Excellent," .and some others. Among the titles may be mentioned, "The August Hlga One." "The Celestial August One," "The Wise and August." "The Celestial King." "The Son of Heaven." "The Wise Son' of Heaven," or "The Sire of Ten Thousand Years," which bears a close resemb'ance to the old Rabylonian phrase of "Oh, Kingr, Dive Ten Thousand Years." t He is believed to be always victorious, and it is almost treason to suppose that his armies can be defeated. It is this which make9 him an object of awe and reverence to the AoQ,W),W0 who populate the Chinese empire. This is their chief bond of allegiance and' public spirit. When, therefore, they learn that the gTeat. armies of this omnipotent sovereign, and the navies which have cost more money than the average Chinaman is able to calculate, or even name, have been defeated by a foreign power, the Son c Heaven falls from his pedestal and becomes an ordinary human being- like the officials in every dis-trict. China is always on the verge of Insurrection and civil war. It is only held together by the tremendous civil power which centers In Peking. This power Is as much spiritual as It is physical. Let the spiritual element be destroyed and let the populace once learn that the physical power is as nothing compared with "that of other nations, then riot and revolution are bound to ensue. As things now stand it needs no prophet to predict that within the next twelve months there will be rebellions and uprisings all over the empire, and Jhat if these re utilized by the Japanese in their struggle against the Colossus of Asia the great lind will be dismembered and broken into fragments for 'the erection of new governments and dynasties. REVERENCE FOR THE THRONE. It is hard for an American to appreciate the extent to which 'the Imperial idea permeates the entire social and legal systems of the country. Whenever a person does anything of note, such as saving life, making a great discovery or performing some act of high heroism, the deed is reported to the Emperor, and by a fiction of the Chinese law the recognition and reward monies from the Emperor direct. It is in thiM way that the throne is made a living fact in every community, no matter how small, through the length and breadth of the land. Although an autocrat and a despot of the first water, he Is better known in an indirect way to his millions of subjects than is the President of the United States to the people of the American continent. The city of Hlng-King, upon which the Japanese are reported to be advancing In the;r marcii upon Moukden. the metropolis of the province of Shing-King and of the larger district of Manchuria, is a small but beautiful city some ninety miles from Wi-ju, on the Ya-loo river. It has a population of between four and five thousand, chiefly soldiers, and Is famous in the Dragon empire as being the place where nearly all the Manchu empeiors have been buried. The city was at one time a large place, with a population of some forty or fifty thousand, but it has dwindled down through the years to Its present condition. It contains hundreds of houses which are unoccupied and in ruin. The tombs are located on the west and southern sides of a large mountain, three raiics away to the northeast of the city. They have been visited by several German and liritish officials and travelers. The road from Wi-ju to 1 ling-King is well paved and a iapted for military purposes. The pass through the I.iloo-tung mountains is fcroad and convenient, and the city, though walled, would offer no resistance to a modern armv. Hi.ngKlng is sixty miles e.st of Moukden. th metropolis of Manchuria, and is connected with that great city by whit is claimed to be the best road In Ch.na. In four different wars this road was covered In a single day by Mongolian, JIanchurua ar.i Corean arm'ea. If the Japanese go there It is mor; as a matter of dramatic effect than of strategy. They will capture the tombs of all the ancestors of the present Emperor, and in that way strike a chill into the hearts of the millions of Chinese, who believe that cverv t tomb Is inhabited by the ghost of the body Dunea wiinin u. Such a thing would have no effect In a civilized community, but in the far East, superstition ridden and addicted to all forms of heathenism as it is.

REPLI1LICA SOXG CAMPAIGN. lct People Sins: Our Noiik aa They Did llnritiK the War. Philadelphia Press. A veteran campaigner. Inspired by ta bright prospects before the Republican party this year, thinks the campaign should proceed, as in with a neverending chorus of excellent song. "Let tho bands everywhere," he urges, "play tun 3 that will attract and Inspire voters and make votes. The 'I.ucarian waltzes" and dozens of other things are good music: but we want more than music now. and thes must take a low place on the programme of protection." - Patriotic sentiment is to be stirred, reinforced, strengthened by the tunes that will be played on every hand, and for this our national songs must be kept to tha front. If Kreat audiences, supported by the Instruments, could be led to sing these , songs and why is this not easily practicable? the effect -would be immense. Many who hever go to a political meeting would be drawn thither. Women would be attracted and add their voices to swell th grand chorus. Eove of country would ba quickened, a deeper feeling of pride In her institutions aroused and a firmer purpose to protect and defend them. Get the people, old and young, men, women and children, to sinking our grand old songs. It will tell mightily on the progress and results of the campaign. A tidal wave of popular enthusiasm will thus be aroused whlc. gaining volume as it rolls on, the electkn day will be the political high-water mark of the century. "Protection to American Interests" is tha watchword and the grave topic of the hour. This might well be the burden of everr Republican speech of the campaign. Our national songs, "Mv Country, 'tis of Thee." "The Star-spangled lianner." "Tha Battle Hymn of the Republic." and others all sing clear and strong this patriotic American pollcv. All breathe the same sentiment of fidelity to American interests and exultant pride in American well being and well doing. The venerable author of our national hymn, Hev. Samuel F. Smith, of Massachusetts, now over eighty years of age, is right when in a recent letter to Governor McKInley he sends him an autograph copy of his song "My Country, 'tis of Thee" and says the Declaration of Independence, the McKinley bill an-t h!s own national hymn should be posted together In conspicuous places throughout the country. . I Theae &org&. having In them illgnlty and purpose and power, are. of course, the substantial element in this feature of a political campaign. Rut others of varied character, with local or personal coloring, humorous or satirical, from a few lines to a few stanzas, as club songs or marching sor.jrs. are also in order. Jollity of this sort as witness the campaign of "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," more than half a century ago attracts and is enjoyed, and remembered long after the occasion has passed away that gave it birth and meaning. "Hall Columbia' is a very Rood political song for the present protection campaign. Indeed, the Republicans ' seem at present to monopolize all the songr capital there la in the market. They have all tha patriotic songs and sing them with a hearty good will as an expression of their political views and personal feelings, while the discordant and unhappy Democrats have very little to sine about. It remind us of an Incident which occurred shortly after tha war and which is told by Richard Wentworth Browne in the Century magazine much as follows: A day or two after Dee's surrender. In April, I left our ship at Dutch Cap. in the James river, for a run up to Richmond, where I was joined by the ship's surgeon, the paymaster and one of the Junior officers. After "doing" Richmond pretty thoroughly, we left in the evening to my rooms for dinner. This being- over and the events of the day recounted, the doctor, who played well, opened the, piano, saying, "Roys, we have our old quartet here; let us have a song." As the house opposite was occupied by paroled confederate officers, no patriotic songs were suns. Soon the lady of the house handed me this note: "Compliments of General . and staff. Will the gentlemen kindly alloy us to come over and hear them elngT" Of colir.e we consented, and they came. As the General entered the room I recognized instantly the face and tiRun of one wno stood second only to Dee or Jackson In the whole Confederacy. After Introduction and the usual round of civilities, we sanjc for them glees and college songs, until at last he said: "Excuse me, gentlemen. You sing delightfully, but what we want to hear is your army songs." Then we gave them the army songs with unction, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "John Brown's Iody," "We're Coming, Father Abraham." "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching," through the whole catalogue to the "Star Spangled Banner," to which many a foot beat time as if it had never steoped to any but the music of the Union, and closed our concert with "Rally Round the Flag." When the applause had subsided, a tall, fine-looking feltow in a major's uniform exclaimed: "Gentlemen, if we'd had your songs we'd have licked you out of your boots. Who couldn't have marched or foueht with such sonsrs? Why. we had nothing, absolutely no'thmg, except? a bastard 'Marseilliise.' the 'Bonnie Blue Flag and 'Dixie.' whieh were nothing but jlrr. Maryland, My Maryland,' was a splendid song, but the tune, old 'Daurlger Hora'tius.' was about as inspiring as the 'Dead Marcti in Saul.' while every one of these Yankee songs is full of marching and lighting spirOL" Then, turning to the General, ha said: "I shall never forgeU the fint time I heard 'Rally Hound the Flag." It was a nasty night during the seven days' fight, and. If I remember rightly, it was raining. I was on picket, when, just before 'taps.' some fellow on the other skle struck ui that Jong and others joined In the chorus until it .eemed to me the whole Yankee army with what Here nlng, they I am was singing.

I have not seen him since. The same party of the Union has again the same old songs, as wcU as some new ones.
