'The only argu- went advanced: was that-of uniformity of dress, and that the surplices would look pretty. : This matter came up at a previous meeting, but was shelved by the board. The "inmovationists," as they are called, are still persisting that the gowns be adopted. Quite a fow members of the board favored the proposal, bot the more conservative olensent wok strong against the innovation, saying that it was out of harmony with the genius, the ivit: and the simplicity of the form worship of the Methodist church.

BECOMING IPERIALISTS BOER AND BRITISH TO STEM DEVASTATION. The List of Casualties Compare Favorably With Those of Most Recent Campaigns -- Modern Conditions Have Made War Less Deadly. London, June 17. lishes an article on South African casualties from is actuarial corres pondent, which says that, excepting the first year's fighting, when losses by battle and diseases were very hea vy, the casualties in South Africa comppre favorably with those of most recent campaigns for which trustwor- thy figures are obtainable, \ In the last year of the American civ. il war the total death rate of officers and men, which previously had been much lighter, was reduced to 49.49 per 1,000, and in the Franco Prussian war the total death rate was 46 per 1,000, In South Africa, during the closing months of the war the total mortali- ty has been 30.03. These figures show how war tends to become less deadly under modern conditions, expecially when these con: ditions become understood by experi: ence. Iggis noticeable that not many more 1 of disease in South Africa during the last eight months than would have been the case if there had been no war. The average death rate of the British troops in foreign ser- vice is fifteen per 1,000, and in South Africa it was 15.1. The Times' correspondent at Pre toria says it is surprising how intim- ate is the friendship which has sprung up between the British officers and the Boer leaders, who joined hands in order to put an end to the devasta tion in South Africa, which was rap idly being brought about through the obstinacy of the guerilla leaders. It certainly would be difficult to get to- gether a finer body of men than these leaders of what already is an imperi- alist movement among the Boers, An official despatch received from Gen. Kitchener, to-day reports that the surrender of Boers in the Trans- vaal has been completed. Lord Kit- chener further reports thst the South African constabulary will be finder the direction of the civil authorities, His dispatch reads : "The surrenders since I last reported have been 915. This completes the Transvaal. The Orange River Colony will be completed to morrow. French reports from Cape Colony that there are only 150 more to come Wm. 1 have handed over the South African constabulary to the civil authorities, as the necessity for furthes, operations has ceased." | MURDERED BY LADRONES.
