THE METHODIST CONFERENCE
Repeated BalIoting Still Fails to Elect
Bishop
Delegates Grow Enthusiastic Over ncKinley
and Turn Out q Big Audience
to Hear Him

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 16.-The
Methodist Episcopal general conference
spent all of todays session in vain at
tempt to elect one of the two bishops
who are to be chosen. Five ballots were
taken today, making eight in all since
the voting began yesterday morning.
The only result has been to narrow the
contest down to practically three candi-
dates-Dr. Butz, president of Drew
theological seminary, Dr. G. c. McCabe,
the missionary secretary, and DR.. Earl
Cranston, the senior agent of the Book
concern at Cincinnati. Dr. Butz and
DIR. McCabe are now the leading candi-
dates and both of them might be elected
but for the feeling which is growing that
both bishops should not come from the
east. The two bishops who were retired
came one from the east and the other
from the west, and it Is felt both these
sections should be represented by the
new bishops.
While the vote was being counted,
Rev. w. j. 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.
Routine business was interrupted bv
great applause when Major Mckinley
was seen ascending the stage. Bishop
Joyce presented him and the air was
white with handkerchiefs. Three times
tfle applause uleu away and was re-
newed. During recess nearly every del
egate took advantage of the opportunity
to greet Mckinley
The eighth ballot resulted as follows.
Butz, 2S0; McCabe. 270; Cranston. 263
Hamilton. 100; Bowen, 81.
When the result of this ballot had been
announced the conference adjourned in
order to give the delegates who had an
pointments to preach in surroundins
towns tomorrow an opportunity to catch
their trains.
Ex-Governor Mckinley was given an
enthusiastic reception at central armorv
tonight when he appeared to deliver an
address on Washington. The hall was
filled with an audience Of between 6000
and 1000 people. When Major MCKINLEY
entered the hall he was loudly apnlaud.
ed. but when he was introduced to the
audience by Mr.. Horace Benton of this
city the enthusiasm could not he con-
trolled The entire audience ioined IN
the applause. Men stamped their feet
and swung canes and umbrellas in the
air. while every woman waved a hand
kerchief. The applause continued for
fully five minutes and at it's conclusion
the famous Chautauqua salute was
given with a will. Major McKinley's
address was entirely devoted to his sub
ject and he occupied something more
than an hour in it's delivery. The ap-
plause was hearty and frequent.

Reformers' Sentences

CAPE TOWN, May 1.-THE Trans
vaal executive has confirmed the SEN
tence of banishment of the members Of
the reform committee.
F. l.. Gray, one of the prisoners, be-
coming insane recently succeeded in
committing suicide by cutting his throat
A dispatch from Johannesburg said
the sentences of the so-called reformers
would be reduced. The Standard and
Diggers' News claim to have authority
for announcing the committing of the
sentence to a small fine and imprison-
ment. It was also announced in the Jo-
hannesburg newspapers that the sem
tence of Punishment would be waived.

SHERMAN, Tex, May 16.-Today the
waters In the creeks and brooks have
subsided and thousands Of spectators
have traversed the path Of yesterdays
tornado. Every business house in this
city except the drug stores and eat
ing houses suspended business at an
early hour this morning, at the request
OF the city council and the attention of
everybody has been turned toward car
Ing for the wounded and dead. the num-
Der of which Is hourly increasing from
deaths in the hospitals and bodies found
IN the subsiding streams. The city'S
street grading force. supplemented by
= large number of men, have been trans
ferred by Street Commissioner Moore
head to the cemeteries, and have been
busily engaged in preparing graves for
the victims Of the storm. The UNDER
taking esta blishments are taxed to the
limit. No word picture can approx
mate or portray the terrible aspect Of
the pathway torn through the city.
Great oak trees and stately elms of a
oentury's growth are torn up by the
roots and twisted off like reeds. The
remnants of ONCE beautiful homes are
scattered and blown in all directions.
Everywhere the commons are covered
with debris. Hundreds of domestic ami
mails are lying dead and innumerable
fowls are scattered about. in many cases
picked perfectly clean, and In every In
stance timbers are thrown about pro-
n,iscuously and more often against the
course of the storm than with It. Barb
ed wires are often found twisted about
fence posts several times. Stones and
bricks, evidently from the Ely residence.
are found several hundred yards north.
driven into the ground. The widest
point In the pathway Of the storm in the
city is just south OF where 1t crosses
Lamar street, and here 1t was perhaps
200 yards wide. At other points it rare
ly or never exceeded $50 yards and often
narrowed to not over 100 yards.
The following appeal has been issued:
The loss of life and property by the
cyclone is much greater than was sup
posed last night. and the number injured
is much larger. the dead and wounded
exceeding 200. The loss of property is
over $250000. Sherman is taking good
care of the wounded, but many families
have lost their all and are left destitute.
All contributions will be thankfully re-
ceived, as they will help us to give aid
to those who will have to begin life over.
