THE CONFERENCE
 AT BALTIMORE Epworth League Secretary Will Still Edit The
 Era.

Baltimore, May 11.-Much of todays ses- Episcopal church, south, was again taken up in discussing the proposition to appoint a new editor for the Epworth Era, instead of confining that task to the secretary of the Epworth league, as has been the cus- tom heretofore. A compromise was finally effected by the adoption of resolution providing that the secretary of the league shall continue to act as editor of the Era and he shall receive $2,50O per annum as salary. He is also empowered to employ an assistant If he finds 1t necessary
 The report of the committee appointed to revise the articles which were filed yes- terday was adopted. There were numerous changes in the articles of faith, but they are confined to the correction of errors that have crept in since their adoption In 1898.
 The Rev. J. B. McGhee of Talbotton Ga., introduced a memorial, asking that the Advocate, the organ of the church, be made a daily instead of weekly, and that the sum of $75,O00 be set aside out of the "war claim fund of $2SS,OOO for that purpose.
 The following memorial. introduced by the Virginia delegates, was simply read by title, "Worldy Amusements," by the sec retary and referred to the committee on revisals.
 Question: "What shall be done to prevent the spreadliness among our churches, es- pecialy in it's open forms?
 Answer: '1. Let our preachers and mem- bers faithfully observe our general rules which forbid 'softness needless self indulgence and taking of such diversions as cannot be taken in the name of the Lord
 Jesus g. When any of our members en- gage in dancing, card playing, etc, the pastor shall give private reproof to the of fender. If there be any acknowledgement of the fault and promise of amendment the person may be borne with; otherwise, the preacher must take with him two or three faithful friends, who shall labor to bring the offender to proper repentance; but if he will not hear them and there be no sign of amendment, the offender must be dealt with as in case of immortality"

TWENTY THOUSAND MEN
Are to Go at Once From Chickamauga
to the South.

Chickamauga National Park, July B.
This was another quiet Sunday at the
fark. The sun poured down, bat the
presence of Il good breeze was a source
OF great relief from the heat The
regiments spent the day quietly in camp,
except that some of the troops by permits
| sion went up on the mountain. Later
| III tle afternoon an order came from
the war Department to General Brooke.
to designate about 10000 men for inn
mediate departure to the South, and
| at once there was excitement and hustle
| Ill the camp. General Brooke declined TO
make public the order, but it is under
| stood that he has selected the First
division of the First corps and two
brigades Of the Second division 70 be
moved at once.
| The First division is composed Of the
following regiments:
First Brigade-First Kentucky, Third
| Wisconsin, Fifth Illinois.
| Second Brigade-F0urth Ohio. Third
Illinois, Fourth Pennsylvania.
Third Brigade-Sixteenth Pennsylva-
mia, Second Wisconsin, Third Kentucky.
| Third Division, First Brigade-Thirty-
| First Michigan, Hundred and Sixtieth
Indinana. First Georgia.
Second Brigade-SiXth Ohio. Hundred
and Fifty-Eighth Indinana, First West
Virginia.
The regiments of the division were in
| Spected this evening and are ready To
move. They have been kept busy since
the order to prepare for the field came
a week ago. getting rid of their excess
equipment and clothing, and it will re-
quire very little time to break camp and
depart. In anticipation of this order
the railroads have been accommodating
ears at this point for week. The
Sidings and switch yards of the Southern
and the Western and Atlantic Railroads
are crowded with Pullman cars. 1t is
| stated tonight that there are thirty
| trains of twenty cars each on the tracks
| here ready to transport troops. The regi-
ments will embark at Rossville and
| RinggOld to insure speedy transportation
as was done when the regulars were
moved South, and it is thought by the
railroad authorities, they can move the
| 10000 men in two days. 1t is under
stood at this hour that three regiments
will move tomorrow morning.
| The paymasters were scattered through
| various regiments paying off the troops
/ as rapidly as possible. Quite a number
of regiments have received their pay,
and it is probable that by Tuesday or
Wednesday, all the troops will have been
| paid off. The amount being paid the
| regiments is running up surprisingly
| high, and it looks as though it would
average about $4,000 to the regiment.
Capt. Rockwell, chief ordnance Off
Ger, and Col. Lee, chief quartermaster,
have about completed the immense task
assigned to them of equipping and pre-
| pairing the first corps for active service.
Col. Lee has distributed many wag-
