The' most noteworthy feature of yesterday's ses sion of the American Protective As sociation was the innovation made by giving to tho public the annual ad dress of President W. J. II. Trnynor. Ho deals nt great length with the political phases of thu A. P. A. Ho says: "The American Protectlvo Associa tion is to-day n recognized feature In American polities, whoso favor is openly courted by political leaders, organizers nnd postulants for public ofllei', who, a year or two ago, ignored, '-(.treated with contempt or denounced "'it" Then ho wurns the order against ("eleventh hour converts and says: "i'lio At P. P. ts a standing mennco to the perpetuity of every party, being composed, as it is, of the members of eveiy party. So long as It remains unmoved by threats, unyielding to the pressure of party machines, It will b.e hated but respected by every party which dares not Incorporate the plat form oT thu order in its own. "The great majority of our order have wuited patiently during the past year for home sign from one or other of the political parties that it has re ceived a change of heart und is honest enough to publicly express it There arc a few Republicans, such as Linton, of Michigan; Dear, of Iowa; llradloy, of Kentucky, who have been fearless in their indorsement of our princi ples, und while it may bo fortunate that thoy are Republicans, it is more than fortunate that they are not either the Republican party or repre sentatives of that body, and the ques tion should be asked and answered here and now that while tho A. P. A. isms of these men is tolerated by the party for tho A. P. A. votes which each of them carries behind him, what assurance linvu wo tliut this tolera tion will not ecaso the moment tho votes have been delivered." The only referents to church mat ters in the address are tho following: "A well meaning and by no means unimportant section of the order has arisen which advocates peace with the priest and his subjects and harmony between them and the members of the order. Some would even go so far as to negotiate with them politically, than which nothing could bo more clangorous to the perpetuity of tno as sociation. Others go so far as to take the position that a member of the or det possesses the rltrlit to determine for himself the question of loyalty or disloyalty of any papist postulant for office, and reserves to himself tho right to persuade others to vote for said papist. Such u contention is not only absolutely untenable, but highly dangerous. The candidate volunta rily renounces the right of private judgment in this essential when he becomes a member of the order. It is n solemn compact which he can neither modify nor amend. Tho key- M"io of the.-A.JU. A. l".b ias that n papist, no matter how libo.-al nomi nally, is not n consistent citizen of the United States. Entire renuncia tion of tho papacy must precede his acceptance of our association as a candidate worthy of its suffrages."

The last payments of tho recent popular loan nave been made, nnd the gold reserve can, therefore, expect no accretions other than thoso which will como to It In the ordinary way. While tho withdrawals of gold aro not enough to bo a posltivo menace, thoy aro causing anxiety to tho treasury of ficials. If thero is anything like a steady increnso in tho amount of withdrawals it Is expected Mr. Clovo land will make an effort to secure legis lation to check it. Congress expects to adjourn some tlraa between Juno 2 and 10. There is a long stretch between that data and tho first Monday in December, in which the president would havo to act without tho aid of Congress should the conditions of last fall be duplicated.

The action of the Senate in referring back to tho conferees on tho Indian appropriation bill all of the points heretofore agreed upon, means a prolongation of tho struggle, which may last until tho close of tho session. This afternoon work in committee was resumed, but tho differences between tho two Houses are so distinctly outlined that it is merely a fiirht to see which will win. The House depided against any aid for sectarian schools, while the Senate I girre iiie ludiuu sohoolx-ir. j- years' in which to prepare for tho discontin uance of aid from tho government. This is ono of the points of difference over which tho coufereos can reach no agreement. There is also a marked difference of opinion over the failure to clothe with proper power the Dawes commission. X RAYS AND DIPHTHERIA. Successful Kxperlmcnts With Guinea I'Ish nt Missouri State University. Cor.i'MiiiA. Mo , May 10. The ex periments that havo been going on at the electrical laboratory, testing the effect of the Roentgen rays upon diphtheria bacilli, all confirm tho theory that tho germs may bo de stroyed by tho rays. The last experi ment was made with a livo guinea pig, probably the' first experiment of thoki-.1 upon a living animal ever made . . this country. Two guinea plg.s were inoculated with a culture of diphthcrri. Ono of tho pigs was ex posed to the Roentgen rays for four hours. After seventy-two hours this pig shows no signs of diphtheria, nnd is just an lively us before, whereas tho pig which was not exposed to tho rays died iu twenty-eight hours after the injection and the post mortem showed that its death was duo to tho injection of diphtheria.

Cr.r.vrr.AND, O., Mny IS. Atto-day'a session of tho Methodist Episcopal general conference, thero was the larg est attendance of tho session, both of delegates and spectators. After somo minor commlttco re ports had boon made, Dr. Buckley, tho chairman, made tho roport of tho com mittee on episcopacy. This stated that, In tho opinion of the committee, liishops llowmnn nnd Foster woro too old to stand tlio strain of tho duties, nnd recommended their retirement at the end of tho conferenco ns non-of-footlve, nnd that thrco new bishops should be elected. Iu the list of the bishops returned as effective woro all tho other bishops, with the exception of Bishop Taylor, whoso namo was not montloncd bocauso of his request to bo allowed to continue his work in Af rica. A generous appropriation was urged for tho two retiring bishops, and tho respoct felt for thorn was fully cot forth. Bishop llowmnn is 80 years old nnd Bishop Foster 70. As soon us tho report was read, Bishop Foster advanced, nnd tho en tire audlonco arose and received him with applause. In tho midst of a most impressive sllonco tho low tones of his voice woro heard. Ho said that ho simply had a request to make. He know tho question was one ot grcnt delicacy, and ho begged to bo permit ted to retire. Cries of "No. no" came from all parts of tho hall, but ho ex tended his arms, saying "PleaBO please." He spoko for a few moments, and tho conferonco, by a rising vote, grnnted him his request. Bishop Bowman said that ho would make tho same request, as ho had just learned for tho first timo in his life that ho was not effective. A call was mude for a few remurks from him, but lie declined to say anything, and tho two white-haired fathers left tho hall. Bishop Bowman lives in St. Louis, Mo., to which place ho will probably retire to spend his last days. Tho committee on itineracy win recommend that in raro cases tho five year limit may bo extended one year by an appeal of tho congregation to tho quarterly conference, where it must have a threo-quarter vote, nfter which It must receive tho voto of a majority of tho cabinet of presiding elders, including that of tlio presiding elder having chnrge of tho church, nnd then tlio bishop must consent. Tills may bo done year nfter year for five years, making tho longest possi ble pastorate ton years. A minority coin in lit eo report asking for tho abol ishment of tho time limit will bo sub mitted to tho conferenco and will probably bo supported by tlio laity. SCOTT JACKSON GUILTY.
