An incident which will havo important

two years as attorney general of South
Dakota, to which offlco ho was elected by
the fuslonlsts. Colonel Orlgsby Is one of tho
strong men of tho state and since early
days has been prominently identified with
tho political and business Interests of the
state. Few men have a wider acquaintance
throughout South Dakota, and his return
to tho republican party will bring to tho
support of that party many men who for
various reasons, chiefly Pettlgrewism, left
tho party during tho last ten years and havo

CHICAGO, May 19. A message of fra
ternal greeting from the Presbyterian gen
eral assembly now In session In St. IxjuIs
was read before the Methodist general con
ference at the opening of the session today.
After the transaction of some minor routine
business the result of the ninth ballot for
bishops was announced. It was as fol
lows: J. Dcrry, 357; H. Spcllmeycr. 343;
I O. II. Moore, 293; J. W. Hamilton, 218; T.
I H. Neely. 39; C. J. Little. 13. Others from
one to seven votes each. Necessary to
choice, 460.
Some surprise was caused by the big fall
ing off In Dr. Spollmcyer's vote, wht:h again
put him In second placo In the billotlng.
Tho conference then proceeded to cast the
tenth ballot.
Humors were thick of combinations be
tween leading candidates for the episcopacy
and the belief was general that at least one
bishop would be elected Inside of two or
three ballots.
o rules were then suspcnuecl to near
rrpon ' o commiueo on episcopacy
presented by Dr. Iluckley on the question of
retaining tho title of "mlKBlonary bishops,"
favoring the retention. It was adopted.
The committee nlso reported In favor of
tho election of another missionary bishop
for eastern Asia, his work to embrace China,
Japan and Corea. This report was accom
panied by a written communication to tho
committee from the Hoard of Hlshops favor
ing the election of an nddltional missionary
bishop for that part of tho world. Over this
report unexpectedly developed one of tho
most interesting debates of tho conference
Involving the question of life tenuro of
bishops. (lOvernor Shaw spoke In favor of
limiting tho term of missionary bishops to
eight years. Dr. T. II. Neely of Philadelphia
was recognized nnd In one of the moit Im
passioned speeches so far heard in tho con
ference favored tho report. "This will be a
historical day In this conference." he said.
Ho favored having the bishops stay on tho
field nnd protested against tho Idea of life
tenure In tho episcopacy. "I believe every
bishop here Is subject to tho command of tho
conference when In session," continued Dr.
Needy. "I may never havo another oppor
tunity to express myself on this sbject, nnd
I do so now. It Is not a third order. A
bishop who does not treat his brethren as
brethren Is an autocrat. It sometimes Is
necessary to remove a man and tho general
conference has absolute power to do ho for
mnlfeasance, unfeasanco or no feasance at
nil."
AKnlunt Too Much Itevereneo.
Dr. Ncely's speech was taken as a protest
tho exclvo reverence for tho
episcopacy and when tho Philadelphia dlvlno
plscopacy and when tho Phlladclphl
Anally sat down he wa3 greeted with pro
longed handclapplug nnd waving of handker
chiefs. Dr. Hiram W. Lowry of North China mado
a pica for n general superintendent for that
country, with an Episcopal residence thero
instead of a missionary bishop.
Dr. J. F. Thompson of South America fol
lowed In tho samo line. Said he: "This Is
tho second time that ray annual conference
has commissioned me to ask the general con
ference not to Inflict upon us what wo con
sider a calamity a missionary Mahop."
Masboyoshl Takakl of Toklo ntso opposed
the sending of another missionary bishop to
eastern Asia.
Ponding action on a motion to recommit
tho tenth ballot was announced ns follows:
J. F, Berry, 337; H. Spellmeyer, 29S; D. II.
Moore. 288; J. W. Hamilton, 2S7; T. R.
Neely, 57; E. J. Little, 16; others from 1 to
9 each.
Tho eleventh ballot was then taken.
Dr. Buckley then spoko In defense of tho
committee report. After further brief do
bato a motion to lay the report on the table
was adopted. Discussion of the commltteo
on Itinerancy, which was presented yester
day, was then resumed. Frank A. Arter of
the East Ohio conferenco spoko in support of
tho majority report, favoring unconditional
abolition of the time limit.
Tho eleventh ballot was then announced
J. W. Berry, 310: J. W. Hamilton, 281; D. II.
Moore. 235; II. Spellmeyer, 239; E. V. Need.-,

votes.
Dr. Noely's eloquent speech had nppar
ently deeply moved the conferenco and tho
eleventh ballot, which followed immediately.

Dr. J. R. Day of Syracuse university then
took the platform In support of tho majority
report of tho committee on Itinerary- Hr.
Oeorgo H. Brldgcman, president of tho
Hamltno university, and (Jovcrnor Shaw of
Iowa also spoko In favor of tho majority
report.
Debate on the report was continued until
after 1 o'clock, when tho twelfth ballot was
announced, as follows: J. F. Berry, 296; .1
W. Hamilton. 272; T. B. Neely, 235: D. H
Moore, 231; II. Spellmeyer, 106; J. R. Day,
23. E. J. Little, 22.
Following the announcement an attempt
was made to Indefinitely postpone further
i balloting for bishops, but In the midst of
j nn uproar the motion was voted down, and
at 1:15 p. m. the conferenco adjourned for
tho day.
cw ll)iunnl Coiiipllcil.
Members of the commltteo on book con
corn today adopted a report recommending
that the general conference authorize tho
board of bishops to adopt a special com
mission cf nine to compile a new hymnal.
The book will contain fiOO hymns, 600 now
In iipo and 100 new hymns. Tho words and
music will be printed together. Tho book
will also contain the church service and

Methodist church. A recommendation fcr
nn appropriation of $1,000 tn bo used In

In the Swedish language was approved.
After n long discussion n report was
adopted giving tho management of the San

of seven to be chosen by the California con
ference. A subsidy of $7,500 for tho support
of tho enterprises Is rero-mmended with the
understanding that If loss Is sustained dur

ST. LOUIS. May 19.-At the third day s
session of tho one hundred nnd twelfth
general assembly of tho Presbyterian church
of the United States the most interest
ing reports considered were those on tho
relief for disabled ministers nnd the widows
and orphans of deceased ministers, arid
on the method of appointment of standing
committor of tho assembly, otherwise
known as the "Peoria overture.
The report on ministerial relief wns pre
sented by Elder Louis II. Severance of
Cleveland, O. .Mr. Severance showed that
the contributions of tho church had neither
kept paco with the advance of the church
nor with the advance of tho roll of an
nuitants. He declared that the churches
should very largely Increase their usual
contributions to tho board. Twenty-fho
thousand dollars more was called for, In
contributions, this year, than wns paid last
year, to make the appropriations that will
be required by the vnrlous presbyteries.
Kov. Benjamin L. Agnew, I). D , secre
tary of tho board of ministerial relief, made
an eloquent plea on behalf of the ministerial
relief fund. Ho gnve a long array of sta
tistics showing that tho board had on Us
roll today ono minister's family to every
eight ministers on the roll of tho general
assembly. In 18fi0 tho lionrd had only one
minister's family on the roll to every eighty
seven ministers In tho assembly. Rev. Wal
lace RadclllTe, D. D., of Washington, I). C.
was tho llrst champion of the Peoria over
ture, which provldrw that the moderator shall
upon the organization of the assembly ap
point a committee of ministers and elders to
aid him In the appointment of a standing
committee, said committee to be composed
of twenty-one commissioners from different
parts of the church, not more than two of
whom shall be from any one bynnd.
Ilefore Dr. Radcllfto concluded his address,
amid considerable excitement, a call was
made for adjournment of the assembly until
Monday morning and the time for further
consideration of tho method of appointment
of standing committees of the assembly was
fixed for next Thursday.
Tho commissioners were given a steam
boat excursion on tho river this afternoon.
Many attended despite tho rain.
popular meeting of the assembly will bo
held in the Compton Avenuo church this
evening and five-mlnuto addresses will be

urer, nnd J. B. Watklns, secretary. J. P.

Tho directors approved the amendment
making tho dues of the club $2 Instead of

to all members .Monday ind a vote will be
taken on tho proposition at tho meeting of
tho club to bo hehl on Friday night.
When the question of the Wllklns hair
fields nuisance came up a committee com
posed of Dr. W. J. McCrann ami Attorney
A. II. 'Murdock was appointed to Investi
gate tho alleged nuisance. In this cornice
tlon Secretary Watklns read a letter from
Herman Kountze stntlng that tho hair fields
must bo moved, as he Is tired of listening to
complaints from east end property owners.
Secretary Watklns asserts that tho people
who aro complaining are nearer to the mouth
of tho .Missouri avenue snwnr und tho city
dump than they are to tho hair fields. By
tno closing down or theso Holds about threo
dozen men will bo thrown out of employ
ment.
Ono of the features of the meeting was a
report from Attorneys Wells anil Murdock
on the street car situation. Theso mem
bers of tho liar wero appointed some tlmo
ago to Investigate tho franchises granted ti
tho traction companies, with a view to com
I filing an extension of lines and better serv
ice. It Is the opinion of tho attorneys that
under the existing provisions the city can
not lompel tho company to extend its lints,
but it can compel tho operation of the ex
isting lines so as to cult tho convenience of
tho public. These two attorneys suggest
several ways In which better uorvlco may bo
obtained and it Is more than likely that ono
or mnro V the piaiM mentioned may bo
ndopted by tho club ut tho general meet
ing to bo held on Friday night.

Moor Will Vein Ordinance,
it Is understood that Mayor Kelly will
veto the ordinance passed by the council
providing that not more than one liquor
license shall be granted to any oli persoa.
company or corporation. The mayor holds
that as the brewers own a largo per cent of
the saloons In South Omaha It would work
n hardship on them to be compelled to pro
cure licenses for agents who might not be
responsible, thus rosslhly entailing a large
loss to these corporations In the nurse rf a ,
oar. Mere than this the brewers are own
crs of a largo amount of property here and
nre among the heaviest taxpayers. They
have Immense sums Invested In buildings I
and nre, according to the mnyor's ideas, en
titled to some consideration. For these rea
sons the ordinance, which Is consl'ered a
vicious one, will be returned to the munic
ipal fntheis without the approval of the
chief executive.
lee Wnr Here,
It Is stated that there Is no Ice war here.
Only two companies are In the held, tho
South Omaha lco company and W. B. Mor
ton. The former company sells Ice from
Cutoff lake, while Morton disposes of Ice
cut at the Armour lake at Memphis. A
charge of 10 cents for eighty pounds or over
Is made to private consumers, while 50 cents
per 100 pounds Is charged for delivery in
smaller lots. To saloons nnd butchers n
charge of 25 cents per 100 pounds Is made.
It Is stated that this Is the rate which was
formerly charged here before the war com
menced, a year or two ago. While large
consumers of Ice complain, very few private
consumers have registered kicks as yet. ns
the price Is no more thnn has been paid In
the past, with tho exception of the time
when a light was on.
