er Oh the starboard side. Right next
- it was the magazine for the eight
inch guns stored with powder enough
to blow the great battleship out of the
water and wreck half the navy yard
besides. The call was made to fire
quarters, the few visitors aboard
hustled ashore and warned to give the
ship wide berth and the jack tars
got to work on the fire. A bunker full
of soft coal had caught fire by spon-
taneous combustion. The magazine got
hot while the men worked and the
walls nearest the fire plainly showed
the effects of the heat. Happily the
ammunition was removed before the
danger point was reached, but the in
citlent caused no little excitement.

is becoming prevalent that a deadlock
will occur III the Methodist Episcopal
conference over the election of two
new bishops. Five ballots were taken
to-day without a choice and the elec-
ton is apparently as far away AS ever.
1t is evident that there is strong ele-
ment in the conference opposed to the
election OF more bishops, and this ele-
ment is believed to have been voting in
a scattering way for the purpose Of
precipitating 81 deadlock. A motion was
made without Il second to postpone
further balloting indefinitely, and it
is said the motion will be renewed to-
morrow
