4 METHODIST RUPTURE
Trouble Brewing In Church
Circles.
LAYMEN AND. PREACHERS
LIABLE TO COME TO
A CLASH.
La'men Not Content With Their
Conference Representation
And Will Fight For
More Dele
gates.
Chicago, Sept, 9.-The Times-Herald

Chicago, Sept 9.-The Times-H Herald
says:
Rebellion has broken out in the
Methodist Episcopal church. The lay
men demand equal representation
with the ministers in the great quad
riennial legislature of the church.
Three times have the ministers voted
on the question and defeated it, and
the laymen have lost patience. The
church will be brought face to face
with a revolt that will probably over
shadow the question Of women dele
gates Id the general conference.
Representatives of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey conference issued an adj
dress for the change. The leading lay
men of Indiana called state conven-
ton to meet at indianapolis next week
to consider the question.
A lay convention of representatives
Cincinnati conference sent greetings
last week to the Indiana convention
and urged the calling of anational con-
vention.
The laymen of the Central Illinois
conference have called a convention
to meet Mt Canton, Sept. IL and that
meeting viii probably act on the ques-
ton. Another big lay convention will
be held in Baltimore next month and
if not forestalled by the Indianapolis
convention, it is expected to issue a
call for national convention of
Methodist laymen to make plans to
bring the ministers into line. Each
conference is entitled to at least one
lay delegate, but in no case can it
have more than two. In the general
conference at Cleveland, last year
$4,000 ministers had 337 representa-
tives, while the 100000 laymen of the
church had but 100.
In Indiana 334 preachers had seven
representatives, while 1900 laymen
had but two. Under this system many
small conferences have disprOpor-
tionately large representation, while
the large conference that contributes
heavily to the support of the church
can have only one lay delegate more
than the small conference over in In
dia or China that has to be supported
by money sent from America.
There is little doubt that national
convention of the laymen will be held
and it promises to bring out many of
the most prominent members of the
church.

IN English HANDS
Panama Canal Concession
Transferred.
REPORT THAT THE FRENCH
HAVE TURNED IT OVER TO
JOHN BULL.
Not Believed, However. That It Is A
Government Transaction, But
That II Is Merely The
DOingS Of Cor
pOratiOnS.

New York, Sept. "a dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
1.-The Worlds special cable advices
from Colon to the effect that the fran
chise heretofore held by a French COM
pany for the construction of canal
across the Isthmus of Panama has
been transferred TO the government of
Great Britain, has caused sensation
here.
Officials and those clocely interested
in the Nicaraguan canal project frank
-ly admit that if this transfer has really
been made it will prevent the United
States from controlling the proposed
great inter-oceanic waterway and rem
der the building of the Nicaragua can
al useless.
At the same time it is not generally
believed here that the concession held
by the French company has been
transferred to the government of Eng
land. 1t is considered possible that an
English company has purchased the
rights of the French company and
may continue the work now in pro-
gresS, but that the British government
has assumed control of the project is
not credited.
The concession originally granted
by the United States of Columbia for
the construction of the Isthmus can
al to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans together to a syndicate of
French capitalists subsequently passed
into the hands of another French com
pany. Notwithstanding the difficult
ties connected with the work much
Roadway has recently been made. A
force of 1000 or 5000 has been stead
lily employed But the uncertainty of
final success has proven perpetual
source of Encouragement, and the con-
cessiOn of the French company has
for some time been offered for sale.
The United States and other govern
ments had the opportunity of purchas-
ing it and continuing the work. EX-
perts here express themselves as con-
WINGED that the Isthmus canal, as pro-
jected by the French company is inn
The PROPOSAL TO con-
struct it by system of locks is pro-
nounced unsatisfactory, if not i'm
possible.
1t might be possible to secure a SUI
fficient supply of water at the summit
TO operate the locks at certain seasons
of the year while during others the
supply would be inadequate, the canal
thereby being useless at intervals.
Civil engineers and those familiar
with canal construction are not of the
opinion that a company of English
capitalists with meet with better sue
cess than their French predeces-
sors. The only source of worriment
lies in the possibility that the conces-
sion has passed under the control of
the British government in which event
unlimited capital and science might
obviate the existing difficulties.

body of an unknown man was found
in a one-room frame shack in this city

of cold-bIooded murder. followed by
careful concealment of the CRIME. Inc

tirely nude and was lying on the door
Of the shanty, a short distance from
a cot. The house had been occupied
by man named Schmitt, who traded
in old clothes. The only clue to the

INDIAN COUNCIL.

White Rock, Utah, Sept. 9.-lnstruc-
tions to the commissioners to allot
the Uncompohgre Indian lands have
been received and among other things
the instructions say:
'Your first duty will be to assemble
the Uncompahgres in council and ex-
plain to them the provision of the act
of 1897 and the necessity that exists
for them to take the allotments at
once if they desire to retain any of
their lands within the reservation
proper, as otherwise they will be
opened to settlement on the 9TH of
April next"
From this it will be readily seen
that the government is endeavoring to
force the Indians TO accept civiliza-
ton. but they failed in the present
and the uneasy temper of their wards
renders such successful doubt.

STEAMER IN TROUBLE.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 9.-The
stern wheel steamer Eugene, reported
three days ago deserted and rapidly
going to pieces in Alert bay, created
some surprise by steaming into port in
bad condition but far from being
a wreck. When she started from Co
mox, b. c., to st. Michaers she found
rough weather and had to seek shell
ter in Alert bay. AS the Eugene had
failed to clear at British Columbian
ports for st. MichaePs, in violation Of
the customs regulations, an attempt
was made to seize her while in their
waters and she was chased forty miles
by the British customs officers in the
tug Hope. 1t is not impossible that the
steamer may be seized by the customs
officers here as she was not cleared
at an American port when she sailed
for the north.
