Are the Ones.
REV. Il. WAKES IDEA.

Desirable Charge.
Rev. NJ. L. Everett Suspended
for Cause.
REV. Il. WAKES IDEA.

ATCHIsoN, March 16.-The full list OF
delegates to the general conference has
been selected by the Methodists in SEES
sion. They are:
Rev. A S. Embree, Topeka
Rev. w. II. Underwood, Clay Center.
' Rev. J. A. Motter, Baldwin.
j. ii. Miller, Council Grove.
W. P. Fryhofer, Randolph.
The two last named are lay delegates.
The case of n l. Everett. formerly of
Sabetha and MuscOtah, charged with
unministerial conduct, VINO asked for an
investig alton OF the charges against him,
occupied the remainder of the morning
session. The special committee made a
majority and a minority report. The
majority report, which was that Rev. Mr..
Everett be not restored to the ministerial
union, was adopted.
So far as salary goes, the First Metho-
'Sist church of Topeka is the most de-
sTrable charge in the conference district,
paying a salary of $4,000. The church,
however, in 1895 had a debt of 50, 600.
Rev. A s. Embree will probably leave
Kansas when his time expires at Topeka,
as he must either do that or move
backward in his profession. The next
on the list is the Washington avenue
church at Kansas City, Kansas, of
which J. w. Alderman is pastor, paying
a salary of $500. 1t has a debt of
$4,000 The Kansas Avenue church in
Atchison comes third, paying $1,650. 1t,
however, hasn't a cent of indie btedness,
and is said to be desirable charge.
Rev. Richard Wake bObbed up before
the reform committee with a proposition
that every member of the Methodist
church in Kansas be assessed twenty
five cents annually; the total to be used
TO prosecute the cause of temperance,
and to pay the salary of a temperance
worker, which position he would be kind
enough to fill.

WASHINGTON. March -. 1t can be
stated positively, notwithstanding the
publications to the contrary, that no set

ezuelan boundary question, but accord
ing to the best authority matters are pro.
cccding in such fashion as to warrant the
belief that there will be satisfactory
outcome. At present 1t can not be told
whether the ultimate settlement of this
question will be effected as the result of
direct negotiations between Great Britain
and Venezuela, initiated through tho
medium OF some mutually friendly power,
or as tho conclusion OF the work of our
own Venezuelan boundary com mission.
But in one way or another peaceful
and honorable settlement OF the dispute

moved. II negotiations directly b .tween
