Doctor Livingstone-The --latest from the
African Traveller.


African Traveller.
The Bombay Gazette states that the fol.
lowing news concerning Doctor Livingstone
has been communicated to the press by the
government of India: si 9"
The date of the latest news received from
Doctor Livingstone is July 8, 1869, near
Lake Bangiveolo. He reiterates his belief
that he has found the sources of the Nile
between 10 deg. and 10 deg. south, that is
to say, nearly in the position which Ptolemy
assigned to them. The waters of the slope
of the elevated plains which overlook the
valley of Cazambe are conveyed by multi
tude of streams into the Chambeze. This
river flows into Lake Bangieyolo, and un-
der the name of Luapula unites it with
Lake Moero. Again it changes its name after
leaving this point, and becomes known as
the Lualaba, as its runs on to Lake Ulengc.
Into Lake Ulenge also flows the Lu6ra, a
large river coming from the western side OF
the same great plain, the northern slope
of which Is drained by, the Chambeze. The
combined waters of the Lufira and the
Chambeze are said by some of DR.. Living
stones native informants to enter Lake Tan
ganyike, and thence, under the different
name of Loanda, to pass on to Lake Cho-
ambe, which he considers to be the same as
Sir Samuel Bakers Albert Nianza-others
maintain that the Luira finds its way byt
west of Tanganyika to Lake Choambe.
These questions have still to. be settled and
in this the interest of Doctor Livingstone's
onward movement centers. The lakes which
Doctor Livingstone has seen, are OF consid-
cradle size, varying from five to ten days
march in length, and are overhung by high
mountain slopes which open out in bays and
valleys, or leave great plains which, during
the rainy season, become so flooded that the
caravans travel for days through water up
to their knees, and with difficulty find high
ground as "a resting-place for the night. There
are plenty of domestic cattle in the country
and an abundance of large game. The eli

The Mortality Among the Bishops-An
Extra Session of the General Confer
ence INecessaru 4 20 aIaC 81 laf.t

The Methodist Episcopal Church has Of
late suffered in a remarkable manner from
the death or retirement OF its leading men.
At the close of last year there were nine
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church
! NORTH viz: Thomas A. Morris, Edmund s
james, Levi Scott, Mathew Simpson, Osmon
G. Baker, Edward r. Ames, Davis W. Clark
Edward Thompson and Calvin Kingsley,
The last two have recently died. BisheI
Morris is unable to. attend to any duties
aud is gradually sinking into tile grave
Bishop James is very feeble, and scarcely
able to attend to his duties Bishop Scott
through increasing infrmities. is able to- do
but little official work. Bishop Clark, has
recently had apoplectic attacks, leaving thu
work largely to Bishops James, Simpson and
Ames. The death of Bishop Kingsley, and
the failing health of others, renders it prob
able that an extra session of the Genera
Conference will soon be called, which, i
done. will be the first time in the history o
the NJ. E. Church that such meeting hal
been held. - ~.
The Discipline provides for this emer
gency in Part II, chap. ], sec. 1, and is a
follows: f, I,...'s;
The General Conference shall meet on th,
first day Of May, in the year of our Lort
1912, in the city of New York, and thence
forward on the first day of May, once il
four years perpetually, in such place o
places as shall be fixed on by the Genera
Conference from time to time, but tho Gen
eral Superintendents, or a majority of them
by or with the advice of two-tbirds of al
the Annual Conferences, or, if, there be n,
| General Superintendents, two-thirds Of al
the Annual Conferences shall have power t,
call an extra session of the General Confer
ence at any time, to be constituted in th
usual way. i 49,, ,ss. KS
There are about seventy Annual Confer
ences in the Church, and it will require two
thirds of them to callthe extra session.
