DOVER, March 13 The article regard

to be found who took both sides Of the
controversy, the general opinion expressed
was that there would be very little. II

Wilmington Conference.
Bishop Warren, who is to preside over
the conference, Is recognized here rs a
man who is sbundantly able TO take care
of himself, and one who will not permit
dIctation as to appointments from any
source whatever. Ia fact, It is said that
he has In many instances so far disre
garded the suggestions made by prssld
ing elders as to make appointments
directly contrary to their wishes

the conference, and there is always moro
or less surprise and not little chagrin
and disappointment when the appoint

Rev. w. L Murray. D. D., pastor
Of Wesley NJ E. Church here, when
spoken to regarding the article 10
question, said: Il see nothing In it
except 'thrsshing Of old straws' and,
while there may be and is some talk
going on. it will not serve to bring about

the coming conference will contain
brains enough for any exigenoy which

A member of Wesley Church who holes
an official position was far more out

muriugs of discomfort going on for some
weeks, but they have been caused for the
most part by people anticipating the
action Of the bishop In regard TO minis
terlal changes. So far as 3 resumption Of
the trouble created when Rev. ] A. b.
Wilson was a member of this conference
Is concerned, do not believe there is
any occasion for apprehension. That

to recall his past presence Is q monument

Gas to Presiding Elder Corkran. he Is
known as crank Of cranks' from one
end Of the Peninsula to the other. Why,
just previous TO the last con.
ference he, as well as the other presiding
elders, was requested by the editor OF
one Of the conference journals TO forward
his photograph so that portrait could be
made for publication. but owing to
former trouble regarding the Wilson
matter between the presiding elder and
the editor the request WAS refused and a
blank space was all that appeared In the
center of which was an explanatory
paragraph.
As TO the matter Of a change In the
quarters of the bishop while In Dover. It
WAS suggested some time ago by Pro
prietor Cole. of the Hotel Richardson. that
he would like very much to have Bishop
Warren rs his personal guest during the
conference. as he was we'll acquainted
with the clergyman. AS this conferences
Is composed OF both ministerial and lay
delegates and the bishop will necessarily
be compelled to receive many individuals
and delegations during the interim
between sessions. the accommodations At
the hotel were considered to be much
more ample than at the parsonage and
th srefore the change was suggested by
the bishop.
