DALLAS, May 24.—Another import-
ant step in the affairs of the M. E.
Church, South, was taken at today’s
session of the general conference,
when the Order of Deaconnesses was
created. After one of the most inter-
esting debates since the conference
began, the legislation necessary to es-
tablish the order was passed by the
decisive vote of 130 to 38. This is
said by church authorities to be ’ the
most advanced and radical step ever
taken in the church policy and dis-
cipline.
The newly elected bishops, Dr. E.
E. Hoss and Dr. A. Coke Smith, were
ordained with Impressive ceremonies
at the First M. E. Church. South, this
afternoon. Dr. Tigert,'secretary of
the conference, said today that in his
opinion the conference would finish
its labors and adjourn not later than
Monday night.
Bishop Duncan presided at today’s
session. The new book committee
was announced as follows: O. E.
Brown, W. C. Dibrell. John B. Ran-
som, J. R. Morgan, Collins Denny, R.
W. Millsap, Paul Whitehead, James
Campbell, J. R. Hindman, Sidney
Bass.
The American Christian convention
sent greetings, which were accepted.
Dr. Tigert at this point said that
ihe original list of amusements pro-
hibited by the church did not include
circuses. This amusement was placed
under the ban.
Report Ntf. 5 of the publishing com-
mittee recommended that inasmuch as
the business as now conducted result-
ed In an annual loss that changes be
made; that the book agents retire
from the book selling business and
that it was inexpedient to enter upon
tne erection of a building at this time.
Without reaching a final vote on the
recommendation they were ordered
returned to the calendar. The expec-
tation Is that a spirited- contest will
take place when they are again
brought before the general confer-
ence, as the proposed changes mate-
rially affect the Interests of the book
committee.
The committee on episcopacy fixed
the following donations and salaries:
Bishops, 83600; superannuated bish-
ops, 32000; widows of bishops, 31000
per year.
Dr. Tigert, when the question of the
issuance of licenses was brought up,
woke up things in a fine argument in
favor of delegating that power exclu-
sively to district conferences. He

PLEDGE OF.UNOYING FRIENDSHIP
—Q---
Patriotic Addresses by Americana
and Visiting Frenchmen and the
Mingling of National Aire.
—' o—” ■
WASHINGTON, Muy 24.-Amid the
enthusastic demonstratons of a great
concourse of people, the superb bronze
statue of General Count de Rocham-
beau, who brought the forces of
France across the sea at the hour of
greatest peril in the American revolu-
tion. was unveiled today. Seldom has
an event presented so many brilliant
features of military pageantry and at
the same time given occassion for the
manifestation of the strong bonds of
friendship existing between the
French republic and the United States.
For the first time in its history the
national capitol witnessed he sight of
rank on rank of French seamen
swinging through Pennsylvania
avenue and mingling their cheers with
those of the American blue-jackets
and soldiers, while at the same time
the French tri-colors were entwined
with the Stars and Stripes and the
sound of the '’Marseillaise' was heard
with the "Star Spangled Banner."
When the Countess de Roehambeau,
at the conclusion of President Roose-
velt's address, caught the cords to the
flags enveloping the statue and the
massive bronze figure of the great
French general emerged through the
folds of red. white and blue, the
"boom.” "boom” of an artillery salute
came from a battery of heavy guns
nearby and the strains of the French
national hymn, the "Marseillaise"
came from the Marine band. It was
an inspiring moment and led by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the entire assemblage
Joined in cheering. Another demonstra-
tion occurred at the close of General
Brugere’s address, when, with charac-
teristic French vehemence he gave
this pledge of undying France- Ameri-
can friendship: "Intre vous, ent re
nous; a la vie, a la mort." ("Between
you, between us; in life, in death.")
WASHINGTON, May 24.—President
Roosevelt and the members of his cab-
met arrived at the reviewing stand
shortly before 11 o'clock and took po-
sition immediately facing the draped
figure. Alongside th presidential
party sat the French ambassador, M.
t'ambon: General Bruger, Vice Ad-
miral Fournier and other distinguished
representatives of th French govern-
ment, and also, the Count and Coum
less do Rochambeau and Count de
Lafayette, descendants of the gallant
soldiers who fought with Washington.
The Rev. Dr. Stafford delivered an im-
pressive opening prayer. At its con-
clusion. President Roosevelt stepped
to the front of the platform and ex-
tended a generous welcome to the
French guests. The president spoke as
follows:
"Mr. Ambassador and You, the Rep-
resentatives of the Mighty Republic of
France—I extend to you on behalf of
the people of the United States the
warmest and most cordial greeting.
Wn appreciate fully all that it Is Im-
Plled in this embassy, composed of
snch men as those who have been sent
by President Loubet to commemorate
the unvelling of the statue of the great
marshal,' who, with the soldiers and
sailors of France, struck the decisive
blow In the war which started this
country on the path, of independence
among the nations of the earth. (Ap-
plause) I am sure that I give utter,
ance to the sentiments of every citi-
zen of the United States, of every
American to whom the honor and the
glory of our republic in the past, as In
the present, are dear, when I say that
we prize this fresh proof of the friend-
ship of the French people, not only
because it is necessarily pleasing to us
to have the friendship of a nation so
mlgHty in war and so mighty in peace
as France has ever shown herself to
be, but besause It is peculiarly! pleas,
