NOT CONSOLIDATED.
Reported Absorption of the =. L.
& 81. 4. Not Confirmed.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-The Times will
say tomorrow: Inquiries concerning
the alleged deal by which the Atchi-
son was to gain control of the st.
Louis and San Francisco system have
thus far met with nothing but de-
malls. These have come from the
highest officials Of both roads and are
usually of most unequivocal charac-
ter. The rumor has been varied since
yesterday by the assertion that the
Atchison had not absorbed the San
Francisco. but only bought lis interest
in the Atlantic and Pacific line, which
is owned jointly by these two COM
panies, but it cannot be learned
that there is any more foundation
for this report than for the previous
enc. There seems to be some reason
to suspect that deal has been un-
dertaken, but that the report of its
consummstion is premature. Ger
tain directors of the Atchison some
time ago talked about consolidation,
and largely increased their holding OF
San Francisco and st. Louis stock,
but lately it has been generally sup
posed the project was abandoned.
There is a suspicion in some quarters
that the recent rumors might have
arisen from an attempt to get price
at which the Frisco" would either
buy or sell its half interest in the
Atlantic and Pacific.

AFRICAN METHODiSTS.
A Satisfactory Union with the
West indian church.

INDIANAPOLIS, May s. Bishop
Waymes presided over to-day's ses-
sion of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Conference. Rev. w. e. Stewart,
Of Baltimore, introduced a series of
resolutions reciting that the final pro-
clamation had been made of
union between the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of Canada
and the West Indies, with delegates
from Conferences and laity compris-
ing the Brit sh Methodist Episcopal
Church, appearing here duly accredit-
ed that Bishop Disney has been fully
recognized by the bishops of the At
rican Methodist Episcopal Church;
therefore the union of the two bodies
has been satisfactorily accomplished,
and this Conference pledges itself
to stand by this election. This
coalition. while it has been
nominally accomplished, has caused a
protest from some of the Canadian
and West Indian representatives, and
it is understood that the matter has
already been carried into the courts.
The presentation of resolutionsj pre-
cipitated an excited debate, but no
conclusion was reached and they were
laid aside Informally. The Board Of
Bishops then announced the names of
the members comprising the thirteen
Committees of Conference and then
adjourned.

have been operating in San Benito
and neighboring counties for some
time. Many horses have been stolen.
Vet Kent with party has been on
their track for a month, travelling
over six hundred miles and sleeping
out in the hills. Last night at sun
down, while they we're riding in Los
Bafios, canon, Lucas was observed
coming out OF small cabin. He was
heavily armed, but at the sight OF
Vets band he started to run. Being
called upon to stop and throw up his
hands, he looked about, and seeing
he had no chance, surrendered. He
was handcuffed and brought to town
this morning and lodged in Jail. Nine
of the stolen horses have been recov-
cred.

following That committee be APP

further the passage of law, requiring
that in the future in granting charters
for the creation Of medical schools,
there shall be a clause requiring
that all schools or colleges thus
created shall demand a full term OF
four years study before granting di-
ploma to any student thereof, and no
student shall be admitted to matricu-
late who has not passed a satisfactory
examination in the ordinary branches
of academic study; to secure an or
dinance creating in each State or Ter
ritory, board Of Medical Examiners,
which shall examine all applicants for
license to practice medicine and sur
gerry in their respective States. The
faculties of the several medical
schools within the limit Of the United
States are urgently requested to call
convention for adopting some general
and uniform system Of medical educa-
ton. with more comprehensive and
rigid requirements, and more in ac-
cord with the spirit of the age and the
progress of medical science.

aUApHENNIAL CONFERENCE
Lady Delegates' Expenses - A
Bombsheli for the bishops.


New YORK, May S.-Bishop E.
Waldren, of Chattanooga, presided
over the deliberations of the Method
ist Episcopal Conference to-day. DR.
Buckley, Of New York, thought that
inasmuch as the lady delegates who
were elected to the Conference had
been ruled out yesterday, their fares
to and from their destinations should
be paid by the General Conference.
An amendment to pay Mrs. III. E.
stones expenses was tabled. She
was elected as reserve delegate from
the South India Conference, and re-
sides at South Bombay.
The report of the second COM
mittee to inquire into the eligibility
of certain lay delegates, recommended
that they be given their seats.
The question came up as to the
right OF w. A. Shannon to represent
the Montana Conference. His seat
had been contested by F. A.. higgins.
The majority advocated the seating OF
Contestant Higgins, and the payment
of Shannon's expenses. The minority
report advocated the acceptance of the
returns from Montana and the
record as it now stands and
the minutes of the Conference,
which say Shannon was legally
elected. The minority report on this
Instance was accepted as substitute
for the majority report and adopted
This carries with it Higgins expenses
Adjourned.
A bombshell will be thrown in {
the Bishops camp tomorrow. Il
seems that ex-Lieutenant-G Governor
Colenback, Of Indiana, has been re
ported to say that he would make .
motion limiting the Office of Bishop t.
eight years. Heretofore the Office
has been for life.
