mt to be received. The clerk who is In the
service for short time only loses MOTH
lEg. he receives what he has paid in
upon his retirement, with interest COM
pounded at four per cent. Surely he could

Inc statement that the three per cent re-
tanned VIII not be sufficient to provide for
the retirement of those who will be eligible
arises probably from a Instrumentation of
the terms of the bill. The conditions of
retlr ement are severe. No one in good
health can be retired until he has reached
sixty years of age and rendered thirty
years service. Occupants of the higher
places have been so uniformly changed
with each change of administration that
very Few Will have fulfilled the reouire-
ments as to service and the same is true
OF laborers. Thus the retirements will
natually occur in the clerical force, draw

estimate here made is extremely high as
to the number eligible for r.tireme emit, and
there can be no doubt that three per cent

THE METHODISTS,
Election of Book Concern Agents at

Election Of Book Concern Agents Mt
Cleveland.
Bishop Foster presided yesterday at the
Methodist conference in Cleveland, and the
first half hour was devoted to an attempt
to prevent such scenes of confusion as at
tended the nomination Tuesday. 1t was
finally decided to permit but one nomina-
ton and one second to be made.
The first ballot for book agent in the
western book concern at Cincinnati was
announced. The whole number Of votes
cast was 496. OF these Louis Curtis re-
ceived 3O1, thus re-electing him. A second
agent.
Resolutions denouncing as disgraceful the
sale Of intoxicating liquor in the Capitol
at Washington, and commencing the bill
reported by the House committee prohib-
iting it. were adopted. The resolutions
closed with strong appeal to both the
Senate and House to pass the bill.
The committee on state Of the church re-
ported in favor Of no change in the rule
prohibiting the use and encouragement Of
liquor, dancing, games Of chance, theater-
going, circuses and horse races
After lively discussion the rule was
then voted on, and remains the same by
an overwhelming majority. Only about
forty voted in favor Of striking out restric-
tions.
On the fourth ballot DIR. MANS received
$50 votes for book concern agent making
the New York agents Dr. Eaton and DIR
Manis. On the fourth ballot for agent for
the Cincinnati book concern Dr. H. @.

MINISTER TERRELL.
No Official Charges Against Him Have
Been Filed.


Been Filed.
United States Minister Terrell Is still in
Washington in daily consultation with the
officials Of the State Department respecting
the condition of affairs in Turkey Just
when he will return to his post at Constan-
tinople, and whether or not 1t will be
necessary for him to do so without avaiIing
himself Of the remainder of his leave Of
absence, has not yet been determined. His
movements in measure are dependent
upon developments at Constantinople.
There has for some time past been more
or less talk here, which Is always traceable
to a few dsgruntled individuals, to the
effect that Mr.. Terrell has given ground for
dissatisfaction by his conduct at Constan-
tinople, but 1t Is stated authoritatively to-
day that no charges have been formulated
and lodged with Mr.. TerrelTs superiors,
and consequently that no official notice will
be taken of this kind Of talk.
On the contrary, 1t is said that the forth
coming volume of foreign relations, in that
portion devoted to a recital of events in
Turkey last year, will include a mass of
unsolicited testimonials by the American
missionaries stationed in Turkey, extolling
the minister for his energetic efforts in the
assertion of their rights and in cases de-
claring that all of them owe their very
lives to his good judgment and earnest
representations to the porte during the
stormy events growing out of the Armenian
masSacres.

DR.. Billings HOnOred,

From thu Philadelphia North American
The honor of the degree of doctor Of
medicine has just been conferred upon DR..
John Shaw Billings, one Of our fellow
townsmen, by the University of Budapest,
under the authorization Of Emperor Fran
els Joseph, and this rare distinction will be
none the less pleasing to the people Of
Philadelphia than it is to Dr. Billings HIM
self For an American physician to be
singled out by a foreign ruler for decora-
ton is an honor indeed, not only to the
recipient, but to his country and the pro-
fession which he represents. The regents
of Budapest have chosen wisely, for Dr.
Billings is a representative American, ami
one of its foremost medical men, and the
university honors itself in honoring him.
DIR. Billings is entitled to and will receive
countrymen, without distinction.

CAPITAL RAILWAY COMPANY,
The Bill for Rapid Transit to Ana
costa Has Passed Both Houses.

The conference report on the bill to ex-
tend the charter time of the Capital Rail-
way Company having been approved by
both houses yesterday the bill now goes to
the President for approval. The Senate
took this action yesterday afternoon and
the matter is now settled, so far as Con-
gress Is concerned. The substance of the
conference agreement was published last
evening in The Star. The bill, If followed
by construction, will give ,he people of
Anacostia rapid transit to every part of
the city for a single fare. for 1t requires
the construction Of an electric line from
Congress Heights and another from the
Junction Of Good Hope road with the Dis
trict line to and across the Eastern Branch
or Navy Yard bridge, and thence by an
underground system to connect with the
Capital Traction Company's tracks at the
Navy Yard and with those Of the Metropol-
1tan line at Lincoln Square. Provision IS
made that these roads snail give reciprocal
transfers with the Capital railway so that
a citizen of Anacostia may, under the sys-
tenn thus created. ride from any point on
the two lines in the suburb across the
branch to any point within the District
on either the Capital Traction or Metro
rol1tan line for single fare.
