METHODIST WOMEN LOBE. The Iteijuireil Tliree-VourOis Majority Wot tM-i urnl. JNr.w Voiik, April 1B. — Women a* lay delegates cannot enter the coming general conference of the Methodist eburch through a door opened wide by a conniltutional amendment for on the direct vote of the ministers of tlie church the women were beaten. The Troy conference, in session at Glovers* ville, N. Y , settled the question by voting down the Haitimorc amend ment, 113 to 7s. This does not absolutely decide the woman question in its hearing on the coming conference, hut it does destroy tlie chief reliance of tlie women. Tills question, the most important and the most far reaching in possibilities tlie Methodist church has ever been ceiled on to face, is now left in a state of more hopeless confusion than ever. The women inuy yet win in the com ing conference, but they can do so only by lesorlirig to some parlia mentary expedient. f f rt Mi VALtArflitir ia. lt h I li van unrtnul conference* to hear from, the women lacked forty-nine vote* of having the necessary three-fourth* of all the voles east on the lialtimore amend ment. To make up that deficiency and get enough additional votes to in sure victory; they had to have <155 votes out of the 425 in the three re maining conferences. The .Troy con ference having given the women only seventy-eiglit vo e*and having thrown 114 votes against, them, their lust hope of wiuniug on the lialtimore amend ment is gone. Whatever action the Hast Maine and the North Uukotn conference* may take, with only 15.' votes between them, it cannot atfeet the result unless every vole should he cast for the amendment. These figures, giving the total vote* on the lialtimore amendment speak for themselves: Total votes east, III, 12ti; total for lialtimore amendment, 7,511; total against liultimore amen I Uieiil, 2,00:1; reipiired three-fourths to carry amendment, 7,du5; margin in e*ees* of one fourth against amend ment, 154.

When Oecemher wheat was §1 a bushel and May wheat §1.06 and the opinion prevailed that the latter would go up to §1 50, Pardrldge said: "Well, boys, I believe it will go to eighty cent* before It goes to §1.60," It was one man against the markets of the world. It Is known that Par fridge carried '6,000,000 bushels Other speculators have carried as much for a day or a wrek, but Par* fridge carried it for months.

A BROADSIDE FROM HILL The New York senator I'nnr* Hot Shot Inin Ksffsr, Washington, April lit. The resolu tion for an Investigation of recent bond isanes was taken up In the Deo ate yesterday and Mr, Hill made a sensational and dramatic speech In opposition. The New York Henstor defended Secretary Carlisle and hht administration of the treasury against loose insinuations of irregularity and showed the prevalence of charges of this character by presenting and read ing in full the charges made by Heno tor Chandler against the friends of McKinley that a levy of money waa being made on protected Industries In behalf of Mr. McKinley's candidacy for the presidency. As a further evi dence of the prevalence of charges, Mr. JJill spoke of the sugar investiga tion, where, he said, one Henator (referring to Mr. Quay) had frankly admitted that he bought sugar stock and bad a right to buy it, and to-day that Henator was the favorite son of the leading Republican Htate as a candidate for the presidency.
