ably the discussion may last several days
longer. Something in the nature of compro-

ton to the annual conferences. That would
be in accordance with well-established prece-
dent the question Of lay representation in the
Methodist legislative bodies was so decided

elected as delegates, however, seem resolved
to accept no compromise that does not admit

If the news sent out from Berlin is accurate,
anxiety regarding the Emperor's condition has
been allayed for the time being. 1t is stated
that he dined yesterday with the Crown Prince
and Princess, the Empress and his three
daughters, and that no more bulletins will be
issued unless relapse occurs. Apparently the
crisis which recently indicated the end has
passed. But hopes for the future based upon
this may prove delusive.
An important discovery was made In the nick
Of time in Albany yesterday. The Senate Com
smittee on Railroads had decided to report IA
vorably bill affecting the cable company
which has long had greedy eyes fixed upon
seventy miles Of New ork City's streets. The
bill was on the point Of being presented with
the committees Endorsement when Senator
Walker. the chairman Of the committee found
that a section had been interpolated allowing
the Aldermen to extend and change the routes
as much as they chose. How the Interpolation
was made is still mystery. It ought not to
remain mystery long. The number of people
interested in the change who had access to the
bill cannot be large. This may be only a
sample of the insidious Jobs that are watching
for an opportunity to creep through the Legis-
.ature in these closing days. The Republican
majority should redouble its vigilance against
all such schemes.
