upon Pu Tsuan, the 9-year-old son of
Duke Tsai Ian, to succeed Kuang Hsu
as Emperor of China. This imperial
candidate can only speak the Manchu
dialect and knows no Chinese. Kuang
Hsu has already been urged to draw up
a memorial to the Empress Dowager to
refuse acceptance of the resignation
and to consider the matter again. This
will be done three times and at the
third time the resignation is to be ac-
cepted showing that the Emperor is re,
ally anxious to resign.
The troops CT the Prince Ching and
Jung Lu VIII be under rms N the oc-

Ian is a close friend of the Prince

these mysterious warnings concerning

Two Methodist Clergymen Allowed to
Leave the Conference and the
Church---No Charges of immortality.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va. October
2.-To-day's sessions of the NJ. y,
Conference were devoted to the consid-
Grafton of purely routine business. the
hearing of committee reports and the
like. The Bishop and the Presiding
Elders have also been in close confer
ence regarding the makeup OF the ap-
pointment list. 1t is intimated that
there will not be as many changes OF
pastors as has been the case hereto
fore, many of the charges preferring
a request for a return of the present
incumbents.
Rev. DR.. Sooy is pretty certain to
be reappointed to the Fourth Street
Church at Wheeling; Rev. Townsend
to the First Church here. and many
other leading men Of the Conference
district will be sent back in nearly all
cases where the five-year limit OF a
single pastorate has not been reached.
This evening a great anniversary
meeting of the Epworth League was
held. at which a number Of enthusiast
tic addresses were made, and the pro
posal Of the League to erect a hall for
the expansion of the West Virginia
Conference Seminary, at Buckhan-
non, was given an impetus.
Rev. L. H. Jordan, for forty years a
pastor in good standing and for the
last three years a presiding elder in
the Fayette district, to-day was dis
missed from the conference and Meth
odist ministry by unanimous vote on
his request to be allowed to Withdraw
under charges"
At Ehe same session Rev. Archibcld
w. Chambers was dismissed on com
plant of his presiding elder on charges
of INSTRUMENTATION in that he taught
and praetieed "faithcurism," contrary
to the discipline of the church and in
defiance of the commands of the elder.
The charges against the former were
hteshed by the imposition of a vow or
all the members Of the committee ap-
pointed to hear them, the stated cause
being to avoid a sensation that would
do Harm rather than good. 1t was
stated, however, that they did not in
any way relate to immoralities OF the
part of the elder. The complaints were
made by ministers of his district, and
it is said relate to tyranny, ~discourtesy
and unchristian conduct in the per-
Torrance Of his duty toward his
brethren.
