tho church during the past four years. The
church has experienced wonderful growth
SINCE the last general conference. Fully
4oO,OOO members have been added, greater
gain than every known in history. The
speech then touched on che vote in an
nual conference and churches upon tho ad-
mission Of women to the general con-
ference, with the following results: Lay,
for, 235,668; against, 163.843; ministerial,

HUTCHINSON, Kan, May 4.-In the republi-
can state convention to elect delegates to
the Minneapolis convention snd nominate
congressman at large, which will be held
tomorrow. state issues appear to over
shadow everything, and national issues are
almost lost sight of in the scramble for
places on the state ticket. The republicans
expect to reverse tho alliance majorities of
two years ago. Four delegates at large will
be selected, and there are already eight
candidates in the field, among them John
j. Ingalls,, whose return to political life ia
made at this convention. Mr.. Ingalls, ia
probably at present the most popular with
his party of all the Kansas republican
what his new political ambition may be,
but it has been decided to send him to
Minneapolis at the head of the Kansas
delegation. He may also cut
figure in tho selection of a
candidate for congressman at large,
as the young men of the party, who prinoi-
pally make mp the convention, demand his
nomination. Ingalls, has given no intima-
tlon that he would accept the nomination,
but probably would do so were he assured
1T would not prejudios his chances for re-
election TO the United States senate, which,
it is believed, is still his ambition. The
sentiment of delegates is against instruct
ing tho delegation. The resolutions will
endorse the administration and make Spec
ial mention of Harrison. They will also
decla, 9 in favor of protective tariff, reci-
procity and honest money.
