THE press reports gave a wrong impression
Of the action Of the Methodist General Con-
ference touching the status of missionary
bishops The Conference declared that such
bishops had all the rights and powers Of the
episcopal Office in the special field for which
they are elected and ordained, and that they
were not subordinate to the general superin-
t~endents. but at the same time they were not
general superintendents and could not become
such without q distinct election to that Office.
1t was also agreed that missionary bishops
should be supported out of the episcopal
fund instead of from the funds of the mis-
niouery society.

False Reports from Dakota.

70 the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal;
The Associated Press reports of the Dakota
Republican convention are unfair in many par
t~iculars, especially in relation to the Gresham
sentim emf. While it cannot be denied that MIR.
Gresham had many friends in the convention
the delegation selected was no more for him than
for Allison or Sherman. and not nearly so much
for either of these gentlemen as for Harrison.
Judge Moody, who is chairman of the delega-
ton. and who will exert a strong influence over
1t, is an original Harrison man. while thu rest of
the delegation are srdently for Blaine, and in
the event of his faIlure will very largely 60 with
Judge Moody for General Harrison. We feel
that it Is q Harrison victory.

A Fast Horse,

They have an equine wonder at Agricult-
urel Park, and it is safe to say that no
green horse has excited more interest
among turfmen than he has since the
time that Hod Eldred brought out Bay
Frank. He is known as Victor, and has
been camping in the northern circuit and
taking in everything in sight" He went
on the track at Glenbrook Park apparently
an old broken down plug. his sulky was all
patched up, his harness all pieced out, his
driver apparently greeny, his hair full of
hay seed, In the first heat he came near
being distanced, and then sold in the pools
for almost nothing. The driver shook the
hay out of his hair, picked up the old
horse and sent him for the second heat snd
distanced the whole field. He captured
nearly all the money in the pool box, took
the entire purse, and said if he had been
crowded "he could have got there in two
minutes" The name of this horse is
Victor. He is 8 years old, by Echo out of
a thoroughbred mare, and was bred by W
Todhunter Of this city. No one seems to
know how fast he can go. but there are a
number of turfmen who claim he can 60

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
LICENSES.

Collector Dnlan States Some Facts Re-
gsrdIng Their Payment.
License Collector Dolan was represented
in our evening contemporary the other day
as having appointed Detective Cone" as
his deputy, and was scored for so doing.
Inquiry Of Mr.. Dolan develops these facts.
He has not appointed Cone his deputy.
Ali officers have been given to understand
that if they make arrests for failure of
anyone to procure a license he, Mr.. Dolan,
is in duty hound 10 prosecute the cases.
Several Constables have all along made il
their business TO look out for violations of
the license law. The law allows the officer
who makes an arrest a fee, and it was
probably put into the law to stimulate
them to duty. But this fee is not paid by
the License Collector, nor has he anything
whatever to do with it. Mr.. Dolan SAYS
officers make arrests sometimes, and on
payment of the license fee do not present
the parties for trial, as the object is attained
when they take out license. The License
Collector issues a license to an Off
Ger, or any one else who calls for it, and
pays the fee. IF Cone, says Mr.. Dolan
has arrested or threatened toarrest any per-
sons, and then let them go on payment of
fee to him, Cone, as personal matter or
bribe, ne has acted unlawfully, and with
out the knowledge or authority of the Lii
cense Collector or any one else. No one
bas right to promise insurance against
prosecution for not taking out license.
Mr., Dolsn says Cone did ask him some time
ago if he tDolan) would prosecute cases
where he arrested parties for not having a
license, and Dolan told him that if he
Cone was authorized to make arrests he
would prosecute the cases. He adds that
he issues license to any who apply, and
that Cone and other officers and persons
have applied and received licenses for par
ties named, but no one is hired to do so by
the Collector, or receives any fee from him
or out Of the license fund for doing so, and
he disclaims any authority or power over
any one who looks up delinquent license
cases
