BERLIN, May 1.-THE position of affairs
between Bismarck and the Reichstag is
considered serious and his speech satur-
day produced unmistakeable tension,
which has not thus far abated.
LONDON, May lR-The Times has the
following from Berlin: The recommittal
61 the Elbe navigation bill on the third
reading last night was the reversal OF the
vote by the Reichstag on Won Benning:
sens motion on the second reading, and
Is decided defeat for the Government.
On the second reading the Reichstag
struck out clause four, containing pro.
vision for the removal OF the existing
customs on the frontier, which is the same
thing in effect as making the declaration
proposed by Delbruck, though the latter
was formally negatived. The upshot Of
the whole business is that the Reichstag
has been prorogued without ratifying the
Governments measures agreed upon with
Austria, and the old treaty continues in
force

M. E. CHURCH GENERAL CONFERENCE.

The Number OF bishops TO bo Elected
CINcINNATI, May 1l.-Bishop Harris
presided at the session Of the General
Conference to-day. Devotional exercises
were conducted by DR.. Payne, colored
delegate from the Liberia Conference
The entire session was occupied in con-
alteration OF the report OF the Common
Episcopacy, as to the number OF Bishops
10 be elected tomorrow. The chairman
Of the committee, DR.. ]. NJ. Trimble, read
the majority report, recommending the
election Of four Bishops, and DR.. Wheel.
er read the minority report, signed by
twenty-iour members, recommending
the election OF three Bishops. Gener al
G. B. Fisk, on behalf, as he said, OF q
number OF the committee, moved that six
Bishops be elected.
The subject discussed by DR.. D. Curry,
DR.. ]. N. Buckley, DIR. r. NJ. Hatfield and
others developed the widest diversity oi
opinion as to the needs OF the Episcopacy.
DR.. Curry advocated such change in the
Episcopacy as would allow the location o.
each Bishop in particular locality during
the next quadriennial, but as this plar
could not be accomplished, he was II
favor OF as few Bishops as possible.
Action taken by the conference
was in accordance with the preceden
OF the previous conferences. The com
mittee having recommended four neV
Bishops, the conference refused to In
crease the number by voting down Gen
eral Fisk's motion, defeating the minorit,
renort by vote ot 100 to 176 and then I'D
opting the majority report.

been lost, but only trammeled for the
time being by the return ofthe reactionary
party to power. The power Of that party
Is waning in our midst. The vote of the
Republican party shows steady growth
in opposition to it. Every school house
set upon each hill top throughout the 2S,-
600 square miles of the State, throws ray
that penetrates some dark place, and dissi-
pates 80 much Bourbonism.
In view OF the glorious record Of the Re.
publican party as the party OF great
achievements for the good OF the people,
we bid every West Virginia Republican to
be OF good cheer for the future. We shall
certainly prevail at no distant day in this
State. We must increase and our op.
ponents must decrease. We take no steps
backward, while they are the party OF re.
action. "speak unto the children OF
Israel that they 60 forward" was the
command anciently given, and by this
ign we too shall conquer in the near
uture.
