Bishop Taylor was declared nom
effective by the general conference.
Bishop Taylor is the missionary bishop
of Africa, pioneer missionary and an
aged man. He is highly esteemed, but
is growing old. The committee on
episcopacy reported in favor of mis-
sionary in South Africa and an addi-
tional bishop in India, but the confer
ence did not approve this and decided
to elect only a bishop for Africa He
will be chosen in time to be consecrated
with Bishops McCabe and Cranston on
Tuesday. Whether he will be colored
man or white man is yet to be deter
mined. Bishop Thoburn holds a life
position and will hold over in India,
but will get no assistant. The confer
ence decided to adjourn finally on
Thursday next.
CLEVELAND, May 26.-Bishop Foss
presided over the NJ. E. general confer
ence Monday. 1t was voted to hold
two sessions day until the end of the
conference. Great disorder prevailed
and Bishop Foss was compelled TO re-
buke the delegates. 1t was ordered
that cheap and complete edition of
the present hymnal be issued. Two
ballots were taken for the election of
a missionary bishop for Africa and on
the second ballot Rev, DIR. j. Z. Hartzell
received 1856 out Of 456 votes and was
declared elected. The delegates clam
ored for DR.. Hartzell to appear. on the
platform. He came forward and was
given an affectionate greeting by the
entire bench of bishops The tall, feeble
figure of Bishop Taylor, the hero of
pioneer missionary work in Africa,
arose, and walked toward the group
of which DR.. Hartzell was the center.
Bishop Taylor touched his successor on
the arm. DR. Hartzell turned,r and
seizing Bishop Taylor by the hand
placed his disengaged arm on the
shoulder of the aged bishop The con-
ference went wild and stamped and
cheered with an abandonment not be-
fore witnessed in the conference
There were cries of Taylor, Taylor"
Bishop Taylor simply said; II say
amen, and sat down.
The report of the committee on con-
stitution was lengthy, and preceding
it's consideration, clause by clause,
Secretary Monroe read it as a whole.
1t was merely formulation of consti-
tutional and disciplinary provisions
and church customs already in exist
ence. There was minority report
providing for referendum of and
final vote upon preferred constitu-
tional amendments to the lay dele
gates as well as to the annual confer
ences. A motion was made to amend
one of the sections by having the lay
electoral conferences composed of lay
men by laymen at large instead of by
members of the quarterly conferences
The motion prevailed and the session
closed.

SALT LAKE, Utah, May 26,-Monday
was an eventful day in the investiga-
tion of the Scandinavian Methodist
church tragedies, the net result being
a chain of circumstances which, taken
with those previously discovered, fasten
the guilt of numbering Miss Clausen on
Rev. Francis Hermann beyond rea-
sonabe doubt, and also show THAT
Miss Samuelson fell victim to the
pastors satanic actions and that he
may also have had other victims.
The work of eXcavating the floor of
the basement of the church began at
an early hour. A vast amount of earth
was removed and quantities of bones
found in various stages of decomposi-
tion. Some were plainly identified as
human bones.
At spot beneath the stairway where
the soil showed evidence of having
been recently disturbed, the sole and
heel of a woman's shoe were found
near the surface and little deeper
down in the same spot pair of blood
stained overalls, which it is claimed
were worn by the pastor while he was
engaged in laboratory and other work.
The overalls were blood-stained on al
most every part Ed Johnson, the
young man whose room was heated to
such high degree of temperature the
day the minister built the big fire in
the furnace, declares that Hermann
had them on when the latter was met
by him on the basement stairway with
gunny sack under his arm.
Miss Clausen wore five or six artif-
cial teeth and examination of the
ashes from the furnace resulted in the
finding of two artificial teeth with
metallic rivets similar to those worn
by the dead girl.

An interesting report on the Bavarian

writer remarks that this is indeed a season

the same point on the 30th, having spent
twelve days above the snow line. The
examination covered seven glaciers and
about two-thirds the circumference Of the
mountain from northwest to south. The
ascent began from an elevation of Z, 400
feet, and on the 23d camp was made at an
elevation of 1O..W feet. From that point
