The Methodist Conference Resumes
Balloting for a Bishop.
ENTHUSIASM CAUSED BY MKINLEY
He Holds a Reception During the
Recess.
GREETED BY THE DELEGATES

CLEVE LAND, Ohio, May 16-When the
VI. E. general conference was called to order
this morning the third ballot for bishop was
announced, amidst intense excitement The
vote was taken yesterday afternoon. and
its result was a secret until this morning,
when 1t was made public. 1t showed that
80 votes had been cast. Three hundred and
forty were necessary to choice. The fol-
lowing six candidates lead: C. C. McCable,
252; Earl Cranston, 191: j. w. E. Bowen, 165;
H. A. Buttz, 153; ]. w. Hamilton, 1873; E. B.
Nicely, A.
No sooner had the result been announced
than fourth was ordered. 1t required the
tellers nearly two hours to count the
vote. 1t showed that 81 votes were cast
and that no choice was made. Three hun
dred and forty votes were necessary to
choice The vote on the first five can
didates stood as follows: c.. c. McCabe,
2f3: H. A Buttz. 233; Earl Cranston, 214;
j. r. Hamilton, III; ]. W. E. Bowen, 100.
A fifth ballot was ordered.
There are two bishops to be elected. The
512 votes which were cast the fourth
ballot indicate the vote for one bisnop only
endin reality represent 1.O24 votes. The APP
parent dfScr epancy of only JlE votes being
announced caused some confusion when in
the report of the ballots it was shown that
over 1000 ballots had actually been east.
This explanation was made by prom
iLent delegate to the satisfaction of the
conference.
While the vote was being counted the
regular order was taken up. The death of
DR.. j. W. Reed of New York was announced,
and committee on resolutions was appoint
ed. Rev VIM. ]. Martindale of Kansas pre-
sented a memorial requesting Congress to
prohibit the licensing of the sale of liquor
in states where prohibition is in effect 1t
was adopted and ordered sent.
The routine proceedings were interrupted
by great applause near the door, and a
short man was seen ascending the stage.
As he turned to the audience it was seen
the man wan Major William NJ. Mckinley,
and the applause was deafening. Bishop
Joyce presented him and the air was white
with handkerchiefs. Three times the ap-
plause died away and three times was it
renewed.
DR.. Kynett wanted to take a recess at
once, but the motion was defeated and the
business was continued. The regular re-
cess was made fifteen minutes instead of
ten. and nearly every delegate in the house
took advantage of the opportunity to greet
Gov. Mckinley.
After recess the chair announced the next
ballot 1t resulted in no choice, but re-
Nealed some remarkable surprises. The
vote on the six leading candidates was as
follows:
H. A. Buttz. 266; Earl Cranston, 2i5; C.
G. McCabe. 80: j. w. Hamilton, 1877; j. w
r. Bowen, -: T. B. Medley, 81.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May I6.-The trading In to-
days stock market was purely perfunctory

tan and Sugar were active, in a relative
sense, under sales for both accounts. Yes

the disadvantage of the former, and Ger

selling to the latter. The motive for the
decline in Sugar is not considered serious

level.
While no trustworthy estimate OF rext

NEW SCHOLARSHIPS.
WOman's College of Baltimore Liberal
to Our High Schools.


At the meeting of the board of school
trustees held at the Franklin building yes
terday afternoon it was announced that
the Woman's College of Baltimore had
made an offer Of two scholarships annually
to be awarded to the graduates Of the
Washington High School.
The announcement was in the form Of a
letter TO President F. r. Lane of the High
Schools from John F. Goucher the presi-
dent of the Womans College. The letter is
as follows:
1T is my pleasant duty to inform you
that the Woman's College of Baltimore
has created two additional scholarships
Ghree in alb, to the value of $500 each, for
the use of the Central High School, one for
the Eastern High School and one for the
High School in Georgetown, to be awarded
annually and to entitle the holder thereof
to four years free tuition in the Wom1n's
College Of Baltimore in; such studies as
may be required in one Of its courses lead
iEg to the degree of bachelor of arts. Re-
stricted only by the conditions already
agreed upon governing the application of
the scholarship assigned to the Washing
ton High Schools in 1894.
IF this grant of scholarship shall be &C.
cepted by your trustees they will be avail
able for the scholastic year of 1867 and
annually thereafter until the trustees of
the Woman's College shall give notice of
their withdrawal.
Hoping TINS may prove stimulus to the
young women of the high schools of Wash
ington to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities which the Woman's College is en-
abled to offer Them am, &C."
The offer was accepted with vote of
thanks to the officers of the college. The
scholarships will probably be awarded to
those who attain the highest standing in
the examination for the Normal School
At the meeting yesterday it was voted to
accept the offer of DR.. ]. r. Wilder to pre-
sent medal to the boy gaining the highest
ranking in the manual training school of
the seventh and eighth grades

F RED TAFT DROW NED
Brave Efsrt at Rescue by Policeman Phil
Browne.

This afternoon a few minutes before l
o'clock there was exciting scene and a
sad fatality on the river front at what is
known as the little basin, near the bathing
beach Fred Taft sixteen years old, whose
parents live at 40 LIST street northeast, was
in swimming with a party of companions,
and there was an exciting scene when he
called Help" and went beneath the sur
face OF the water. There were several COM
panions in the party, most of them pupils
of the Blake school, and during the days
enjoyment about the river some one in the
party dared young Taft to swim across the
basin and back.
Il can do it, said the pIucky fellow. land
I'm not afraid to try it,
He was good his word He was not
afraid 10 try it, and plunging into the cold
water boldly struck Gut in the direction of
the other side of the basin. In a short
while he was safe and sound on the other
side, and when he reached the shallow wa
ter he stood and called across the basin to
let his companions know that he had partly
succeeded
Without waiting many minutes to rest
himself he returned to the deep water and
started back In the direction of those whom
he had left on the shore to welcome him
upon his return.
His stroke was as steady as it had been
on the outward trip, but soon the youthful
swimmer noticed that there was something
the matter. The water had probably chill
ed him so that he was losing the use of
his limbs. but he continued to do his best,
and ii was rot until he was within fifteen
or twenty feet Of the shore that he realized
that he was giving out and would need
assistance.
Il don't think / can make It, he called
to those on shore, and the next instant
he cried for help. Then he sank beneath
the surface. and all his companions could
see of him were his feet
Save him. shouted one after another
of his companions, and two of Them Jo-
ssph Demar and Frank Pugh, jumped in
the water and went toward him. When
they got in reaching distance they saw his
feet, and might have rescued him. but they
feared he would drag them under The
water, and so they returned and sent word
around to the bathing beach. There Po-
hceman Philip Browne was found, and he
soon made his way to the spot, and, diving,
had the youth out of the water
quick trip was made to the Emergency
Hospital and a half dozen physicians work
ed over the body for an hour and a half
before they would give up in their attempts
to bring i'm to. 1t was the general opin-
Ion. however, that life was extinct before
the body was brought to the surface
Policeman Browne was warmly congratu-
lated on Lis pluck and heroism, for 1t was
not an easy task to dive in such a place
where there was every chance of being
caught among the submerged timbers

The zouave Competition.
In the event Of the refusal IF the gov
ernor Of Tennessee to raise the embargo
against the Medley Zouaves, it is likely
that the latter and the Aurora Zouaves
viii meet at Aurora in the near future in
order to settle the question Of superiority.
The story Is to the effect that the mayor
of Aurora who Is now in Savannah, made
the proposition, and ii was promptly ac-
cepted. The Aurora is the single remain
ing zouave organization that has not yet
fallen before the Neeleys, and hence the
grasping desire for try at one another.
The Auroras believe they can defeat the
NeeleyS, and vice versa.
The MOrtons' Concert.
The much-heralded concert, under the
auspices of the Mortons in their company
street Wednesday evening, was set before
the public the following morning in this
wise:
The Easy Street Concert Company gave
a concert last night. Admission was free,
ladies half price. Mr.. Shorty Harris gave
splendid exhibition of dancing. Prof.
work; Juicey Steward, the great contortion-
list was heartily applauded at the close Of
his act, and gracefully bowed his asknowl-
edgments with his right leg tied up be-
led the Inhabitants of the street in several
stirring choruses. MIR. Billy Wagner sang
an alleged comic song. The performance
wound up with display of Mr.. Clapaugh's
ingrowing voice.
Juvenile Troopers.
A feature at Camp Gordon is the Young
Hussars, a cavalry organization, consisting
of boys not over ten years of age, uniform
ed in the regulation cavalry field dress,
with yellow trappings. The members Of
this growing troop are armed with minia-
ture sabers and their drill is really worthy
of attention. The tiny cavalrymen are
starch admirers of the Mort IN Cadets, and
may be found in Easy street at all hours
of the day.
The Naval Reserves Is also something
new to the Washington contingent, and the
exhibitions by Sayannahs bay-sde defend
ers forms an interesting study.
Match Postponed.
The interstate military match for the De
Soto trophy will be held over until next
year, the reason being an inability to Sc
cure entries. The conditions of the match
stipulate that contesting teams should he
representative of one command, and as the
District was without a brigade team here
and the Jerseymcn suffering under the
same handicap, it was decided not to shoot
the match the firing between Georgia and
the first Alaska cavalry team being merely
for practice.
Without exception the Morton Cadets are
pany temporarily residing under canvas.
although the Mount Pleasant Band and
boys are far from lacking attention.

be much more to do. The election of SUI

look that Echols will be the winning man.
