The delegates will, during the dally sessions luatlng through the month of . May. be called upon to solve many problems of importance to the growth land future welfare of the Methodist Episcopal church. In the opinion of many high In the councils of Methodism, the quadren nlal session will prove the most lm portant of any in the history of the church. Among the most important subjects are the following: "What Can the Church Do on the Liquor Question V "What Action Can the Church Take to Solve the Race Question?" "Shall Worldly Pleasures, Such aa Dancing. Theater Going and Carl-Playtng Be Condoned by the Church." "With Which Combatant In the War In the Orient Are Our Sympathies r "What Can Be Done by the Church to Prevent, In the Good Name of the Country the Crime of Lynching?" "Shall the Itineraries of Methodist Ministers Be Restroed?" "How Many Bishops Shall Be Elected and how Many Be Retired?" A proposal ta consolidate the three publishing houses of the church in New Tork, Cincinnati and Chicago will doubtless cause spirited discussion In the conference aa the movement to combine them all In one, in the Inter est of economy is looked upon with dls favor by many specials and it is earn estly supported by others.

LACZUN, Brpt4etr. Bsetat AgvRt verslty, in course of construction "at Washington, Is one of the big ques tions that the educational department will have to decide. The institution. as originally projected, was to have an endowment of 5,000,0JO and an agree ment was reached at a former general conference that the university should not be opened until this sum should be on hand. About two and a half millions have been collected, land has been secured and several large build ings erected. There is a strong party in the cciferenec that opposes the idea of letting this property stand Idle for an Indefinite period, and urges that the school be opened at once. The educational department will also have to decide the question of heresy In certain theological schools 'where the majority of the Methodist min latere receive their training. For the first time in the history of Methodist general conferences women delegates will have seats in the con ference, and a voice In the direction of church affairs. The election of bishops will take place about May 18, and la one of the chief duties of the present conference. There are three vacancies at this time and it Is prob able that several, possibly three or four of the older bishops who have reached the age which Incapacitates them for active duty will be retired. It appears to be certain that no fewer than four new bishops nor more than 10 will be elected. There are numer ous candidates. Among them are: Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley, New Tork; Rev. Dr. George F. Bovard, Los Angeles; Chancellor Day of the Uni versity of Santa Crus; Rev. W. F. McDowell of the Educational Society; President Little of the Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston. 111.; President Bachford of, Ohio Wesleyan Univer sity; Rev. T. R. Jennings, Cincinnati, and Rev. Dr. Henry Spellmeyer, New ark, N. J. The colored delegates, of which there are 75 or more, will make a strong effort to have one of their race elected bishop. - The subject of foreign" missions will form a topic of earnest and Interesting discussion. With the view of bring ing the ubject prominently before the conference, the missionary element has arranged one of. the most comprehen sive and instructive exhibits ever shown at a church gathering. A fea ture of the exhibit is a map of the world, the largest ever printed, de signed with the sjnscial purpose of emphasizing the work of the mission aries an showing at a glance those parts of the world yet unconverted by Christianity. with lumber, has almost destroyed the cargo, according to a Herald dispatch from Buenos Ayres.

Brown of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption. He writes: "I endured Insufferable agonies from Asthma, but your New Discovery gave me Immediate relief and soon there after effected a complete cure."

The wells recently sunk at Stevens have more than come up to the expecta tions of the government officials and have removed the trreatest obstacle la tbe way of the enlargement and im provement of tha post Captain Goodale, constructing quar termaster, who has charge of all the construction work at the forts at tbe mouth of the Columbia, states that tha Ave wells will easily provide 8000 gal lons an hour, at that, with additional pressure, 12,000 gallons an hour can be provided. The needs of the post at present are aboat 20,000 gallons daily, and the possible supply which may be pumped from the five wells and will be great enough to amply supply a full regimental post The Jdea of sinking the wells which nave proved ao successful originated locally. The engineering department had driven wells at Fort Stevens for Its water supply, with much success. and it was calculated that quite as good results could be secured for the post The wells were Ouly recently sunk and the experiments showed them to be satisfactory In every respect Analysis of the water also gave satis factory results, and the supply secured Is not alone plentiful, but as well healthful (Continued on Page 4.) gist.
