Washington, May 5.-A trip of in
spection of many of the local land Of
fees in Minnesota, Montana. Idaho,
California and Colorado will be made
during June by Commissioner Lamor-
eaux of the general land office. The
main object is to secure thorough
revision of methods throughout the

duce the amount of cases behind hand
in the surveying branch of the service.
Since the beginning Of the administra-
ton the delay in attending to survey
cases has been reduced from two years
or more to about one year The COM
missioner believes this should be fur
Their reduced to about three or four
months. with new methods and the IN
teIligent cooperation of local officers.

of Fire thief $ Likely to &c
Accompanied by inter-
esting Features.
GOSSIP BY Committeeman

The new city council will hold its first
regular meeting this evening and will
get down to the regular routine of bust
ness. The fact that the mayor has an
nounced that he will not make any
more appointments tonight will de-
crive the meeting of good deal of in
terest that would otherwise have been
felt in it. The most important offices
yet to be filled are those of chief of the
fire department and health officer The
former has been left almost entirely
with the fire committee, and the mayor
is finding ii very difficult to make up
his mind about the health officer. 1t
is understood that he has no thought
of reappointing Dr. Whitford, the
present incumbent, and it is thought
that the appointment lies between DR..
McCrimmon and DR.. Gum.
The fire committee will meet in a
few days to discuss the merits of the
different candidates for chief and cap
tain of the department and make their
selections. The fire insurance agents
are fighting the reappointment of Chief
Werner, but deny that they are work
ing in the interests of any candidate.
The indications are that Werner's
chances have been greatly improved by
the comparative statement or fire losses
for the last four years. which was con-
tanned in his annual report Captain
Stopper of the Spokane fre department
and Frank Thomas are after the APP
pointment and both have friends
among the aldermen who are looking
after their interests. Before the fire
insurance men commenced their fight
on Werner, Alderman Bausman. chair
man of the fire committee, expressed
himself as being of the opinion that
Werner had not had a fair show and
favored giving him another trial II
| it not known whether or not the I'M
derwriters' fight has caused him to
| change his opinion.
The police committee will also meet
! in a day or two to select the men who
will comprise the police force during
| the coming year. 1t is not expected
that there will be many changes In
| the force as it now stands. The
changes will probably number considef
ably less than a dozen, as there are five
| old aldermen on the police committee
besides the mayor and 1t IS believed
that they will oppose any grea'
| changes, even should the appointment
| of any considerable number of new
| men be desired by the new aldermen

THE MEL HODISTS.
Feeling Runs High on the Woman Cues
ton Debate.

Cleveland, May 5.-No sooner had
Bishop Andrews called the general
Methodist Episcopal conference to or
der this morning than G. W. Bennett
of Cincinnati presented a resolution
providing for the appointment of a
special committee to pass on all COM
munications from laymen. This COM
mittee was to consist of one minister
and one layman from each district.
After a good deal of debate, in which
Rev. DR. Shier of Detroit expressed re-
greet that any feeling existed between
the clergy and laity, the resolution was
adopted.
The woman question was then pre-
cipitated by President Daniel Steven
son of Union college, kentucky, who
criticised the action of the bishops in
deciding against the women in 1855.
Rev G.. Nicely led the fight against the
women. He held the question to be one
of law purely. He said ii was true the
Bible said men and women are one in
Christian but not in general confer
ence He held that in the church the
status of women is different from that
of men. The question he said Is a
constitutional one and no one Is to be
admitted unless specifically mentioned.
The delegates were thoroughly
aroused and feeling ran high. Judge
Caples of oregon. Senator Harlan, DIR.
Buckley of New York. Rev. DR.. Har-
ris of Maine. Rev. James Chaffey OF
Minneapolis. Rev. j. W. Hamilton, DIR.
J. r. Day. DR.. Emery Miller of Iowa,
and several other prominent men in the
| councils of the church spoke upon the
| question. When the hour for adjourn
ment arrived. the conference discon-
tinued the debate till tomorrow morn
| ing. No business will be done until tbs
woman question is settled.
