wns appointed to consider the subject.
The council then proceeded to tlio order of
the day's subject , "Tho Church mid Her
Agencies , " being the satno us that discussed
yesterday.
Hov , J. Travis , general missionary secre
tary of the Primitive. Methodist church
of England , road a paper on "Place and
Power of Law Agencies in the
Church. " Ho said that Methodist denomina
tions are agreed that the laity have a place ,
but they are far from being agreed as to the
extent , and horsupromo ditllculty Is to or
ganize n Methodists union.
( ditto Workers in ChriNt.4
Hov. Dr. W. D. Walters , secretary of the
London Mission Wcsloyan Methodist church ,
spoke of Methodist brotherhoods and sister
hoods. Ho said it would have been tor more
fitting if n sisterhood had boon hero to pre
sent her own causo. Ho hoped , that nt the
next council n woman would bo permitted to
take her place on the platform and address
the conference , f Applause. I Professions of
Christ should have the brotherly and sis
terly feeling. It was liflcen years slnco
tlio establishment ot a sisterhood in Eng
land In connection with the children's homo ,
mid ns a member of the commlttco ho could
bear witness to the grand success of the
movement , There were ton missions under
Hov. Peter Thompson. In addition there
were the lady wonters. There was need of
ROino special agency to reach the depths of
Whitcchapcl and other crlmo centers. In
the cast end nf London thcro was a popula
tion of JWO.OOO souls and -10 per cent of the
dead found paupers' graves. What n field
for mission work. What was the effect of
women's work ) Changed neighborhoods.
The landlords told of it. A reporter wont to
see the work : ho went Into places wlwro ho
was told his lifo was endangered , and found
in every room evidences of the sisters' work ,
signs of brightness and redemption.
The superintendent of the western
branch was nn extraordinary man ,
but ho had an extraordinary wkfo : ho was
Hugh Prlco Hughes. [ Anplnuso. I They
had organized the "Sisters of the People , "
who managed in n marvelous way to get In
perfect touch with the people.
How Dr. Thomas Lawrence of England
feared tho-Mothodist church was not raising
ihcnumborot local preachers it .should. There
should bo more open air meetings , nnd the
church should not lower its ( lag to OKI Salva
tion army , or any other agency. [ Hear ,

Uov. William Arthur of England said ,
that every member of the church must come
to consider htmsolf an evangelist to save
souls. The speaker referred to the Woman's
Christian Temperance union , and , said that
thn world was Indebted to that great organ
ization for the advanced position tlio world
had gained on the temperance question.
They Build Up the Church.
Hev. Dr. Bond of London told of his own
experience in building up ono of the largest
mid emptiest of London chapels , glvon to
him twenty years ago. Ho had gotten the
whole church 'worked up to its duty. On
one occasion ho appealed to 1100 church mem
bers to bring each another person to the
next service. The result was that the church
was tilled and remained so for years after
wards.
A discussion of the general subject of
"The Church nnd Her Agencies" was con
tinued nt the afternoon session. Hov. Dr. I ) .
J. Walter of London , secretary of the
Weslo.van Methodist conference , presided.
Mr. T. M. Harvey of London road from the
scripture.
After prayer had been offered by Her. Jo
seph Nettlcton of London Ucv. Dr. Benja
min Frv of the Methodist Episcopal church
of St. Louis and editor of the Central
Christian Advocate read a paper on the sub
ject of "Woman's Wprk in the Church. "
Hov. William Gorman ot the Irish Metho
dist churoh , Belfast , made n strong pica for
women In connection with every phase of
eluirch work. Ho wns followed bv Prof. J.
P. Lamllsof the United Brethren In Christ
of Dayton , O. , and Uov. Thomas H. Hunt of
the Primitive Methodist church , .Manchester ,
England.
Hov , Dr. J. W. Lowls , Methodist Episcopal
church , south , said that It was a bold , bud ,
dangerous fallacy , to behove that hocauso u
largo majority of the people were hammering
mid pushing after a thing it was a manifostl-
tiulon of dlviuo wish. Gou created them
iniilo and female , "not female and male. "
[ .Cries of "O , O , no."J Woman was first in
the transgression , but also In the great re
demption , She wns expected , under divine
providence , to sustain the relation to the inns-
cuiino chinch that she did to the famliv , not
ono of subordination , but of equality in 'cer
tain lines ,
Hcv. Dr. Buckley of Now York said that
many Honslblo women must have felt sick at
heart to hear the platitudes delivered today.
Women Hhould not give up a higher power
for a lower. St. Paul had said they should
not take the place of men. Women could not
do the work of preachers , without collision
with the laws of nature. They must bo
mothers or they must bo preachers , not both.
Hcv. Dr. Hass , Methodist Episcopal
church , south , Invited anybody who had a
higher estimate of woman than ho hud him-
elf to show hi.s face. Scarcely had the
words bcon uttered before a largo proportion
of the delegates stood up la answer , amid up-
iiliuiM ) from the others. The doctor was a
llttli ) iion-plussod , but continued with his
remarks , holding that if God had intended
man and woman to do the same work , Ho
would have made them alike. Ho , too , called
attention to St. Paul's words.
Mr. Atkinson , M. P. , taking the ( leer , said
the chairman of the morning session'was un
fair , but when the council disapproved this
ho passed on to characterize Dr. 11 ass's ur-
Kiiment as logical jugglery , saying , that If
men and women had been created alike there
would have bcon no men or women. Dr.
litickloy had also gotten a now fancied twist
on this question , [ Laughter. ] Why should
not such n woman as Baroness Burdott-
Coults have a vote.
Ur. Buckley could not see the reason why
the should not.
Hnv. Dr. Hold , Methodist Episcopal church ,
couth , paid a high tribute to the work of fe
male missionaries that had coino under his
own observation. He asked for them the
ultimate privilege , that when Mio had brought
n soul to Chrixt she should bo permitted to
perform the rite of baptism. [ Applause. ]
lloi-H Not Acreovlili St. Paul.
Hcv , W. F. * Bourne of London said that
the discussion recalled to hi ? mind the ques
tion once put to him by a rector in England ;
"What authority , " ho said , "have you ( Mr.
Bnurno ) for prt'achingl" Ho had answered
that the power and ability to preach was his
authority. Ho would make this answer
when questioned as to tbo admission of
women into the mink try , They could preach
* the word and lead souls to Christ. It had
bocii proven. This is the only authority
that should bo required of thorn. Ha hud no
pntlom'o with the narrow and bigoted vcr-
Ion of SiPaul's words on this subject.
If literally rendered , it would prevent
vociou from bolnj ? married in the church ,
Inasmuch as It forbids women to speak In
church.
Uov. Hooson of England said that his
church had for the last eighty years women
preachers who had honored the church. Ha
did not plead for the allowance to them of
exceptional position , but If God had given
them abllllv to preach the gospel , thcv
should preach. The ladicst had produced
many converts , and they were Paul's era-
dcntlaU.
Hov. Dr. Hood of the African Methodist Epis
copal /on { church , nt the risk of telling old
tune anecdotes , said that his mother believed
that God had n purpose of taking a rib from
the man to create a woman. It wns not to
put her under the man's foot , nor above his
head , but that she might stand side by side
with him I. , all good works. His church had
no trouble with the woman question. They
accorded her exact equality and if she had n
call to proauh she preached.
Hov. Hugh Price Hughes of London
wanted to oinphasl/.o the fact , as ho said , that
there was no considerable difference of
opinion on this subject. Dr. Buckley had al
lowed that n woman might preach and that
admission represented n great advance. Be
tween Christ and Paul there was no disa
greement , and Paul taught exactly the reverse -
verso of what was laid down by Dr. Buckley
mid Dr. Huss. All ho wished was to remove
thonrtlhclal obstructions to woman's work.
[ Applause. ]
Secretary King of the business committee
reported the following resolution :
That wo have heard with pleasure the pur
pose to urect as a memorial to this second
uoumnnlcal , on some suitable site In this city ,

Kciolved , That wu approve of the enter
prise and commend U to the constitution of

On motion of Dr. King the council ap
pointed a committee , headed by Bishop
Fowler of San Francisco , to raise the funds
to carry out the purpose.
The council then adjourned.

CniL'\no , III. , Oct. 13. The Press league ,
composed of active women newspaper writers
throughout the United States , was addressed
at a largely utlendeij mooting in the Audi
torium toaay by Mrs. Potter Palmer. Her
subject was the relation of women to the
World's ' fair. Mrs , Palmer said the board of
lady managers desired to develop to the
fullest extent the grand possibilities which
have been placed within its its reach. The
board wishes to mark the llrst participation
of women in an international enterprise by
preparing an object lesson to show the pro
gress made by women in every country in
tha world , during the century in which edu
cational and other privileges have boon
granted her. The board will present
a complete plcluro of women and make
n showing of the achievements , in
all departments , she has made , the
avenues of employment she may enter , the
educational courses best llttod to prepare her
for farther advancement , the personal ele
ments upon which the value of her work de
pends , and to exhibit these tilings most cred
itable to the sex. The board has doeidoil not
to attempt to seperato the exhibit of woman's
work from that of men , because women work
side bv stdo with men in nil factories of the
world.The Juries of award will have
women members in proportion to the amount
of female work presented by the articles to
bojndgo.
„
Amoug the out-of-town members present

Jackson and Mrs. Carpenter of Indiana , MM ,
Dunlap of Topeka , Miss Hooso , Miss Blddlo

determination that all in the power of woman
journalists would bo done to aid tha work.

BKK.J-Suspicion continues to grow stronger
among those who are becking for clues ns to
the whereabouts of Sloan , the murderer of
the Baldwins , that Mrs. Baldwin may bo In
some way implicated in the horrible crlmo
and that there was a plot deliberately laid
and partly carried out to annihilate the Bald
win family that Is , tbo family of Old man
Baldwin. No facts are at hand to support
this suspicion nvulnsi Mrs. Baldwin.
When Mrs. Baldwin came to Fremont
after tlio murder It was reported In a day or
two that she had gone to see a daughter who
lives at Tokamah. Since then detectives
have visited Toke mall , bvt have been unable
to find any trace of the widowed woman , who
has dropped out of public sight about as ef
fectually as her son , Arthur Sloan.
The fact has been established since the
tragedy that Mrs. Baldwin and her son car
ried on a good deal of correspondence for n
month or two prior to the killing of the Bald
wins , This is established by the postal
authorities and the Baldwin girls , who know
ot the receipt of the letters. An effort has
boon made to d'iscovor some of thcso letters
at the Baldwin homo , but as no trace of any
could bo found the conclusion is reached that
they were burned as fast os received.

ST. PALT , Minn. , Oct. lb. The weather of
the past weeks has undone the good which
was done by the flijo weather early in the
season in North Dakotnrand the larmors of
the northwest will suffer a loss aggregating
into the millions. The damage can , as1 yet ,
only bo estimated , but th&'loss will bo very
great there scorns no doubt , The railroads
had made special arrangements to handle a
great crop and the farttidrs considered their
own plans amply sufllclont : but , so great was
the wheat crop , that flrstitvas almost Im
possible to hire enough harvest bauds to se
cure the crop and a very largo part of it had
to ho loft standing in the shock. Then it was
found that the supply of threshing machines
was insufficient and that caused a delay
which loft fully half of the crop
In the fields when the rains came. Halns had
been abundant , and it is this which has
caused tlio greatest loss. There Is still a
great shortage of threshing outllts , but the
weather has prevented work more than half
the time.
At Jamestown , In North Dakota , In the
Red river valley , rain and snow fell last
night ; it was snowing today , and last wcok
there , wns but ouo full day's wheat thresh

in several stacks.
At Devil's Lake , In the northern part of

MONTUVIPKO , Uruguay , ( via Oalvoston ,
Tex. , ) Oct. 13. [ By Mexican Cable to the
Herald Special to TUB HER. ] The riot ,
which only by the prompt notion of the gov
ernment was prevented from spreading Into
a serious revolt , broke out a few minutes be
fore midnight on October 11. The rioters
belonged to n club organized for the express
purpose of getting up n revolution. They
called themselves the junta , apparently after
the victorious party in Chill. In fact the
overthrow of Batmaccda scorns to have led
the Uruguay junta to measure strength with
the authorities. U was confidently expected
by the Juntn that It could rally n number of
soldiers to tholr ranks. Accordingly ns soon
as the conspirators loft tholr headquarters
they proceeded direct to tlio barracks of the
artillery. Immediately after the revolution
ists entered the place , however , they were
taken prisoners.
Dr. Pantaloon Pcroz , their chief , made a
bold attempt to escape from his captors , but
as soon as. ho ran toward the bnrraeits' door
ho was fired upon and foil pierced with many
bullet : . In addition to these who had entered
the barracks , there were 'JOO armed men
without the building. These , upon learning
of the shooting of Dr. Perez and the other
member. ) , retired to the National club. A
battalion of soldiers happened to pass by the
club Uouso a few minutes later and lire was
opened upon them from the windows and
doors of the bulldtncr. The volley resulted
in the wounding of three of the ofllccrs of
the battalion. The troops returned the lire
and with deadly effect , tifty-threo prominent
men of the junta party being instantly killed.
How many were wounded I am not able to
tell , but I understand that it was corre
spondingly. When the tiring took
place the number of the revolu
tionists had boon Increased to 000. A
panic siozod them when they saw so many of
tliolr companions lying around them wounded ,
dying or dead and the troops following up
their advantngo , quickly nut the whole
crowd to flight.
Colonel Laterro is bitterly denounced by
the revolutionists. They charge him with the
disastrous results of the outbreak and accuse
him of fooling their Icndors by pledging them
the support of the military posts. There
seems not to bo the slightest doubt that the
intention of the junta was to assassinate
President Obis. They had employed twenty
Sicilians to commit the crimo. The band of
would-bo assassins were under the command
of on Italian deporado by the name of
Abatto. It was ho who murdered
Dr. Hucker. Fortunately for President Obis ,
the ohlof of police discovered the murderous
plot and warned the president in time to
allow him. to adopt measures to protect him
self from surprise. Duvlnes , Perez , Ferra
and Uotuso , four of the living leaders of the
junta , , were uirouted. . Gotuso U the editor of
the Bpoca. Tlio troops have all boon ordered
out to preserve"peace ; Owing to the timely
discovery of the conspiracy the ofllcors who
aro.faithful to tbo president have rallied in
force around him while the discomfited oppo
sition purty have been forced to flee into ' .ho
country , where they have succeeded in or
ganizing different bands of guerrillas.
The police have started in pursuit of the
outlaws and will show them very little mercy
if they are overtaken and offer any resistance
when called upon to surrender. It is said
that the larcest band is near the town of
Florida. The revolutionary movement is
clearly n failure. Senators Aguirre , Uurro ,
Martin and Perez , who played a prominent
part in it , are prisoners. The government
supporters declare that the Catholic clergy
are largely responsible for the revolt and
that they urged the junta on in its outbreak.
Bishop Schlclr particularly is accused of
having made a speech in favor of the revolt
at Jackson's hacienda. It will bo loft to the
tribunals to try the prisoners. Congress has
placed Montevideo under martial law. It
has loaned out that 100,000 wore offered the
colonel of the artillery to turn over the town
to the rebels , but that ho refused.
