 Methodist Conference.
APPOINTMENT OF NEW BISHOPS.

Four, and Perhaps SIX, to Re Chosen.
 Senior Bishop Bowman fin the Chair.
 A New Mission-Ecumenical Confer
 ence of Methodisu.
 olutons presented to the Methodist confer ence yesterday mounted up into the hundreds.
 All the bishops having filled :the chair in turn, the chairmanship reverted to Senior Bishop Bowman yesterday. The conference adopted the resolution recommending that the missionary board erect the peninsula of Malacca and the adjacent islands into a mis- sion, to be called the Malaysian mission
 The committee to which was referred the subject of the Ecumenical conference of Methodism proposed to be held in the United States in 1891 reported that, after confer ence with the fraternal delegates, they were prepared to recommend that such a confer ence be held
 yet reported the number of new bishops it deems necessary, but it is thought that four, and perhaps six, will be chosen.
 The Rev. E. O. Mcintyre, of Austin. Tex, offered a resolution proposing reunion of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
 The conference set apart this mornings session for the reading of Bishop Taylor's re- port of the missionary work in Africa under his direction. It represented the missions in Africa to be in a fourishing condition, and upon the excellent showing which his friends think he has made tlAy have based their hope of persuading the conference to raise Bishop Taylor to a rank coordinate with that of the other bishops of the church
 It is stated, however, that one of Bishop Taylors missionaries, Clarence Davenport, will have presented to the conference a state ment of his experiences, which is intended to show that the bishops work is failure. He does not say that Bishop Taylor's work is ab- solutely failure, hut still he does not think missionaries can do very effective work if compelled to earn living with their hands. For himself he prefers to pursue different nafh0d

BUFFALO'S EXPLOSION.
The Gas Company Threatened with Dam- age Suits by Many Whose Property was Injured-To Rebuild the Cathedral

BUFFALO, N. Y., May 12-The Natural Gas company has thus far failed to furnish Q clear reason for Thursdays explosions. The superintendent gives it as his opinion that some foreign substance got into the pipes and clogged the automatic valves which regulate the pressure of gas. The gas has been shut off since immediately after the explosion, greatly to the inconvenience of those depend ent on it for fuel. Hundreds of consumers are questioning whether to enter suits for damages against the company, and many have actually threatened to do SO. The lia- bility of the company is being discussed pro and con, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that the company is responsible.
 The board of fire underwriters has at a special meeting issued caution to gas con sumers not to tamper with the gas in their premises until the meter and pipes have been inspected, and demanding of the company an arrangement whereby the gas can be turned off outside the building
 The vestry of St. Patrick's cathedral has held meeting and decided to take immediate steps to restore the church. They estimate the loss at S1OO 900; insurance, s60, 900; actual loss to church, S40,000

TERRIBLE WESTERN FLOODS.

The Breaking of 3 Great Dam Does Enor-
 nous Damage-The Mississippi Still
 Rising-Many Houses Submerged.
 ROCK ISLAND, Ills, May 12.-The Missis- sippi river has been rising steadily here for several days, and has caused great damage. The water held in check by the big govern ment dam at Moline, which is built of solid masonry, rose with the flood until the pres sure became too great for even the immense dam to support, and about 600 feet of it gave way. The water rushed down the sluice in torrents. forcing all the mills and factories along it to shut down. Among these is the government arsenal The damage to the dam is estimated at $1OO, ,OOO.
 At this point the avalanche of water broke the boom of the Rock Island Lumber com pany, and turned loose 1000, 900 feet of logs, valued at SIS, ,00O, and carried off the ware house of the St. Louis and St. Paul Packet company. It flooded the levee, the streets and lots for several blocks.
 At Davenport the flood played havoc in portions of the city on the river front. In one neighborhood thirty families were driven from their homes, while many of the ware houses and wholesale houses were obliged to hastily remove their goods to places of safety. The western part of the city is inundated, and much damage is threatened
 DUBUQUE, Ia., May 12.-The river is still rising at this point and hundreds of houses are submerged. Fully two-thirds of the fac tories and all the lumber mills have closed down, and the city is full of idle men, There is very little of East Dubuque that is not submerged

TIE DIss DEBAR CASE.
Ann O'Delia and tho General to be Tried
 on May 2S.

on May SS.
 NEW YoRx, May 12.-The trial of Ann O,Delia Solomon and 'Gen." Diss Debar has been set down for May 2a, in the court of general sessions. They have been in the city prison since April 1, and are very anxious to be tried. Assistant District Attorney Bed ford, in reply to request for an immediate trial, said the prisoners had been arraigned only eight days ago, and it was unusual to hurry cases so much. He was informed, he said, that a plea of insanity would be ad- vanced, and that would have to be disposed of.
 Mr.. Townsend retorted that no woman had ever been so attacked, and he would not allow the insanity plea to be made. The madam had been sufficiently persecuted, and if there ever was sane woman, Ann O'Delia was one MT. Bedford insisted that the madam would have to take her chances with the other seventy prisoners in the Tomba awaiting trial Judge Gildersleeve said that while he was inclined to give the district at torney's office time, he did not see why it was necessary to defer the trial longer than May 23. If the prosecution is not ready by that time further postponement will be granted,
