The service was conducted by Rev. G. II. Detwiler, of Gastonia. The ministers eagerly grasped the op ivommity of relating their religious experience, and not many minutes of the time, were unoccupied The sermon by Bishop Key was one of great- strength and influence for rood. His text is found in Revelation ii 7. He emphasized the concern of the Spirit for the church, and gave the reason of this, and insisted upon a pure, holy and consistent ministry, oiit in which the world will have con fidence. At the close of the sermon the names of applicants for deacons' orders were ivad by the secretary of the confer ence, and eight of these presented themselves for ordination.

Conference Notes Never before in its history, perhaps, were as many fine sermons delivered in the town of Concord in one day as yesterday, and nearly all the visitors as well as the townspeople were at the various churches. Jr. II. 1 Ohreitafoerg Is easily nnp of the most talented mem bers of this conference, and since 'his transfer here from the Soutn Carolina Conference, eight years ago, has serv ed the leading churches of the denom ination at Asheville, Beidsville and Charlotte. Rev. John K. Brooks, (D. 'D., presid ing elder of the Salisbury district, is one of the most influential members of the "body. He is of athletic build and is a man of strength in 'more ways than one. (Many of his friends think he has good 'bishopric timber in his make-up; and, in fact, he did receive a nattering vote ior mat mgii omce some years "ago at a session of the General Conference. His book on the subject of sanctification is having a big sale. It left the presses 'less than eight mouths ago, and the third edi tion is nearly exhausted. Both Bishop Key and SDr. J. ' J. Tigert; connectional book editoF, 'have taken occasion at this conference to praise the book in the highest terms. Rev. J. A. Sronee, tne neavy-weignt of the conference, would give tne printer who set -up his name "Scrouse," in Sunday's Post, a' good shake if he had him toy the nape of the neck. He admits being a .sour-'krout. Dutchman, and don't object to being calied a 'Scrouger" when it -comes to avordu- pois, but ne does object to "scrouse;.' unless the Mergenthaler operator means something good by that word. Rev. William tL. Sherrill, tho genial and accomplished secretary, who was honored by re-election for -the serenth time last Wednesday, is one of the '.1uf all.arrtiin m An AT in rfrtTl f A1PTI business men, he was thoroughly suc cessful in the drug -business prior to entering the ministry, and gave np a good-paying vocation to enter the field where IBishop Key, assures the class who were received Saturday "there is hard work and poor pay." Mr. Sherrill is uniformly courteous to all the news paper men, who are often all around him, each trying to get copies of reso lutions and ether data for his paper. une or the .handsomest and , most successful of the young preachers is Albert S. Raper, of Watauga. He is a 'brother of E. E. Raper, the well-known lawyer of Lexington. Mr. Raper s presiding elder, in speaking of his ex cellent year's work, said: "The people of Watauga were not pleased with the bishop last year for not sending them a married man, as they had just com pleted a nice parsonage. Brother Raper gave them a good year s work, and has recently gotten married. So all is now forgiven." Mr. Raper and his bride the only one, I believe, attending con ferenceare stopping at the Kimball illouse. . . " The charges against "Uncle iBilly" Willson did not amount to much after all. Uncle Billy is a good man of many year's service in the conference, who, like Mr. Mansfield, feels that he was afflicted in being sent from one end of the conference to the other, and that, too, with an invalid wife wbo has not been able to walk for years. In 1S9G he was sent from Kernersville to Mr. Holly, and had to take Mrs. Willson on a stretcher In the baggage cars. The church there was demolished by a cyclone. Things got twisted and the pastor and people did not . seem to harmonize. Finally he was moved from Mt Molly one year ago, and his farewell sermon, it is said, was any thing but a benediction. At least the people there so regarded it, and the hard things nttered in that sermon art said to be the basis of the charge. Rev. J. A. Green seems to have much svmpathv from his brethren. Tie has. during the past few years, had several deaths in his family, and afflictions some of them worse than death re verses of various kinds followed him. The charzes against him are said to be mainly as to financial transactions. It is a sad case. Sturday Nnight, after an interesting missionary x address by Rev. W. E. Towson, missionary to Japanr a collec tion of about $100 was raised for the cause of missions. The night was. very inclement and the congregation small. Salisbury district is the only one in the conference which has paid in5fui the amount assessed for both home and foreign missions during the past year. . CliAlJI FOIl ELEVEN MIliWONS, Gov. McSweeney Wants Government to Repair Owners of Seized Cotton. Columbia, Nov. 27. Governor Me Sweeney has addressed a letter to the several governors of Southern states nrging them to obtain united action among their congressional delegations to have legislation enacted to enable the real owners of eleven millions, of dollars held in the United States treas ury, the proceeds of cotton wrongfully seized and sold by treasury agents during and immediately preceding the civil war, to get their own. He says that in this era of good feeling an reunion the time is opportune for se euT.mer 1his measure of relief. The governor expects united action from the South. Death of Professor Carmlchael. Winston, N. C, Nov. 27. 'Special. Prof. Robert L. Carmichael, who ar rived here Saturday from Denver, Col. wbere he" went a few moafus ago in the interest of his health, died at the home of his mother in Salem this morning, aged Oi. Consumption was the cause of his death. He was a aon of the late TYank Carmichael, both father and son being well known n:u sicians. The son bad few equals as a violinist. For several yars. up to the time his health failed, h was leader of the orchestra with Frimrose and West's minstrels. Funeral Wed nesday afternoon. Charles Coghlan Dead. Galveston, Nov. 27.-JCharles Cogh lan, the actor, died here this morning of heart failure caused by gastritis Cocblan came here ill with "The Royal Box" company, October 30, and had been confined to his hotel ever since. Cognlan was born in Paris fifty-eight years ago and was brought nn in London, where he Was well known as a player. He married Kuehne Beveridge, the sculptor, who obtained a divorce in 1809. He was a brother of Rase Coghlan. ; . Dewey Calls on the President. Washington, November 27.-r-Admiral Dewev called on President McKinley this morning and spent half an hour in conversation in the cabinet room. The admiral said ibis call was merely a social one and that he had.a pleasant chat with the Presidem. .

The Navy De partment today awarded contracts for the building of six unprotected cruisers of 3,200 tons displacement au thorized by the last Congress, one of which was awarded to fWilliam R.

Lord Ardillaun (Arthur Edward Guiness) has paid xnnnn tv t,, TTriwvrf estate, which STATE OF WAR EXISTS Great Britain Makes an Im port Concession. PROTEST BY THE BOERS Representations Made to Foreign Con suls in Regard to England's Unpar donable Crime in Arming Blacks Against Whites -Joubert States Six Grounds orcomplaint British Losses in the Fight at Beacon Hill. Washington, Nov. 27.-d"rd Paunce fote iias informed the secretary of state, in view of the doubt which ap peared to -exist as to whether Her Majesty's government had recognized that the hostilities now in progress in South-Africa constituted a state of war between Great Britain and the two South African republics, he has been directed by Lord Salisbury to in form -the secretary of state, as an act of courtesy, that the South African republic and the Orange Free State having declared Avar against Her Maj esty, the .Queen, and having invaded the British colonies of Cape Town and Natal, a state of war has actually ex isted since October 11 between Eng land, tilie South African republic and the Orange .Free State. Effect of the Admission. Sr. Petersburg, Nov.. 27. The Rus sian newspapers announce that the British charge d'affaires has informed the' Russian government that Great Britainbias been in a state of war with the Dutch republics dn South Africa since October, 11. ; The Svet, commenting upon this saysf ' 4 ''England, in giving this notification withdraws her declaration that she is not.' carrying on war, but is merely subjugating rebels." 7 The Novoe Vremya, which attributes far-reaqhing Importance to the British notification, says: 'tTha powers are now in a position jtp send not only Red Cross agents, but military agents as well; and they may jujige tins a uiiuig ume to intervene especially as the Afrikahdefs are go lng more and more to the Boer side." -, Protest by the Boer Government. (Paris, Nov. 271 A copy of the pro test addressed by tihe authorities of the South African republic to foreign consuls at Pretoria against the use of Kaffirs by the British has just reached Eurofxeo It reads as follows: "I' have the honor to call your gov ernment s attention both to a. report announcing an engagement last night (October 18) between a Boer com mando and the English near Mafeking, the English having 1,000 Kaffir auxilia ries one of whom was wounded and is a prisoner), and the results of this information, and other a"eports coming in from the east frontier, where Kaf firs have been called to arms by the English authorities. 'This shows that the Britisih govern ment commits an unpardonable crime by arming blacks against whites in a struggle unjustly forced on the South African republic. This act may have the gravest consequences for all White Africa. "I am commanded to inform your government that a further document that has been received is General Jou- bert's protest to Secretary. Reitz, at Pretoria, under six heads, as follows: " 'First. That the British at Elands laagte fired on an ambulance. " 'Second. That a British lancer at tempted to assassinate a doctor wear ing the Geneva Cross, missing the sur geon, but killing his horse. "'Third. The tying of thirteen prisoners, some oi tneni wounaea, oe- hind a. Maxim gun and dragging them along. " 'Fonrth. That at Dundee fugitives retired under cover of a white flag while the nialn body was fighting Or ange Free State troops. " 'Fifth. That an armored train, pro tected by a white flag, repaired a bridge. " 'Sixth. That the British are recruit ing mounted Basutos.' "General .Toubert appends some doc uments which were seized among offi cers' effects 'at Dundee. The paper is a communication f rom a Basutoland magistrate, informing the general com manding at Glencoe Camp that there will be no difficulty in procuring Basu tos at five shillings per day, and ask ing: 'Must they bring their horses?' "General Joubert added: T am pre serving the original of this docu ment " Gatacre Advances. Cape Town, Nov. 27. General Gat acre, with reinforcements, is going from Queenstown.
