NEW YORK, May 13.-The board OF
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church closed their session at the Book
Concern in this city to-day, all the
bishops being present except Bishop
Warren, who is in Europe. The assign
ments Of the bishops to the fall confer
enceS were made, and Bishop John P.
Newman was appointed to visit Japan
and hold the conference there in July.
The board adopted the following before
adiourning: The establishment of a
national university in the city of Wash
ington, d. O., under the patronage of
the Methodist Episcopal church having
been submitted to the bishops, and hay-
ing been carefully considered, they have
agreed on the following expression Of
their judgment in the case:
Resolved. l. RECOGNIZING the fact
that the ultimate adjustment of the re-
Iation of such an institution to the
church belongs to the general confer
ence, we are of the opinion that uni
versity fully equipped and amply en-
dowed for original investigation and for
post graduate and professional courses
of study, established at the capital of
The nation, would be of great service to
both the church and the state. Its loca-
ton at Washington would give it many
and exceptional advantages, and COM
mand peculiarly the attention OF the
American people.
Resolved. Q. That we take pleasure
In commencing the spirit of our friends
in Washington and vicinity in providing
an eligible site, and for the presentation

Resolved. 3. That it is our Judgment
that an endowment of at least $2,000,000
and suitable buildings in addition
should be procured before the proposed
university be put in operation.
Resolved. 4. That in view of the 10
cal demand in all parts of the country
for the emergent needs of already eX
listing institutions, we must look chiefly
for the proper endowment for the pro-
posed national university to our friends
to whom God has entrusted large
wealth, who may, by the gifts OF tens of
thousands or even millions of dollars,
forward the great and noble enterprise.
To such we earnestly commend the pro-
posed university and its object. praying
that God may open their hearts TO the
magnificent opportunity which is Of
fered to them of doing what their less
favored brothers cannot do-of adding
their names to the roll of those who
have been able to do great things for
their country and their race.
The bishops made public the assign
ments of episcopal viSitations for the
year. They are, for the West, as fol-
