at Hagerstown, Nd, this morning, the attend
ance of members and visitors being very large.
Visitors we're welcomed at the station by the
Rev. s. ~ Hartsock, pastor OF St. Pauls
Church. in which the conference will meet,
and his committee on entertainment This
committee was enlarged by dozens of church
members, who will entertain visitors. Every

given a warm grasp of the hand and was either
taken in charge by his host or by a member of
the committee and was taken to his place Of
entertainment
Bishop john p. Newman. formerly of this
city. will preside at the conference, and great
amOuntof important business viii be transacted.

be represented at special sessions of the con-
ference, when addresses will be made by the
general agents. who are appointed by the gen.
/ eral conference. Some OF the brightest men of
the church are among this number.
LIVELY DISCUSSION ANTICIPATED.
A lively discussion is expected to occur on
, the transfer system. Several new clergymen
will be transferred to the Baltimore conference
and as vet there is no sign of a corresponding
/ number being transferred from this to other
conferences. and it is likely that the making
of the annual appointments will be duplicated
Rev. W. T. ID. GLENN has one or two grew
ances upon which he will ask conference to take
action. and which he thinks may involve inter-
/, national action. He says that the imperial
authorities Of Austria have lately closed a
We-leyan Methodist Church at viennS and
have materially abridged the liberties of its
members. He also saws that Rev. Justin Nelson.
a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, is serving term in Brazilian JAIL in
the province of Bahia. for publishing III his
church paper a criticism of the Roman Catholic
Church and of the patron saint of Brazil. Mr.
tlemm will ask for the appointment of a COM
mlttee to visit President-elect Cleveland when
he goes into Office and see what the new State
Department can do in reference TO these mat
tiers. He will also asi: that the committee be
instructed TO request the State Department to
insert In future treaties provisions guarantee
ing religious liberty.
