THE PRESIDENTS
 METHODIST FRIENDS
Will Fight the Adoption of 0bjec-
 tionable Paragraphs.
BALLOTING FOR BISHOPS
May Continue for Several Days-Dr. J. F. Berry Will Probably Gain Sew eral Votes From Dr. Bowen
 on Next Vote

Chicago, May 16.-The friends of President Mckinley in the temperance committee or the Methodist conference, who made a losing fight against the adoption of the leading paragraphs in the report, which criticise the president and censure him for the acceptance of the Griggs decision in the anti-canteen law, will take the fight to the floor of the conference in the form of minority report, substituting other para graphs for the objectionable sentiments
 Dr. J. E. Price, of the New York confer enee, who submitted minority report from the subcommittee, will present the matter to the conference tomorrow. It will be signed by over a score of the members of the committee, and it is said by its cham pions will have strong support in the con- ference.
 The majority report of the subcommittee on all matters before it, including the criti- cism of the president was adopted by the general committee today after long fight on several paragraphs which referred to the attitude of the church on. the license question. The report endorsed total ab- stinence on the part of members and min isters of the church and fraternity with
  cause of temperance
 In regard to the liquor traffic. it endorsed the sentiment of the episcopal address that ''it can never be legallized without sim and declared that licensing it legalizes it. In contrast to the condemnation of the president on the anti-canteen matter was was an eulogy to Secretary Long by banish- ing liquor from the American naval ships and yards.
 Two additional missionary bishops with authority equal with those already in the field will be elected by the general confer ence to associate with Bishop Thoburn in southern Asia if the recommendation CT the committee episcopacy is adopted. The report of the committee will be presented to the conference tomorrow by Dr. T. B. Neely.
 The result of the third ballot for bishops, it is said, will show a gain of upwards of forty votes for Dr. J. r. Berry and a cor responding loss to pr. Bowen, the colored candidate. Many of the leaders declare it will take at least six more ballots fc. any of the candidates to secure the requisite two-thirds vote. and that the ballotng for bishops may consume weeks time.

Sewall Thinks Prospects Bright

New York, May 16.-Arthur Sewall of Maine, who was the candidate for vice. president on the democratic ticket in 1896 with w. J. Bryan was in the city today. In an interview he said:
 q think MT. Bryans chances for election are bright. In fact, I think that he will have a better chance than he had in 1896.
 Would you accept the democratic nomi- nation for vice-president?" was asked.
 "No," said MT. Sewall "I am out of it; positively out of it.'
 'Whom will the convention nominate for vice-president?"
 q cannot tell. It will be a mistake to send the nomination into New England Our candidate for vice-president should be chosen with the idea of getting electoral votes. MT. Bryan will not carry one New England state. It might be possible to carry New York if campaign without mistakes is conducted If New YorR state is not honored the nomination for vice. president should go to the central west"

JULES TOWNSEND GUT TO THE HEART Killed by J!m Fleming in Third
 Avenue Last Night. QUARRELED ABOUT A WOMAN Slayer Surrendered to the Police and Showed Evidence of an Assault
 With a Knife-Will Plead

QUARRELED ABOUT A WOMAN

As the result of a difficulty about a wo- man, between Jim Fleming and Jules Town send, two well-known negroes, the latter was last night cut to death in Third avenue, after having attacked his adversary with a knife
 The difficulty, so it is said, started yes- terday afternoon at Liberty park, on the Ensley electric line and was renewed about 8 o'clock in Third avenue, between Nine teenth and Twentieth streets, where the negroes chanced to meet.
 According to the witnesses the men be- came engaged in a heated quarrel, when Townsend pulled a knife and made vicious lunge at Fleming and started to run. Flem- ing gave chase with his knife in hand, and, overtaking the fleeing negro, cut him sev- eral times. Townsend ran back toward the place where the difficulty was renewed and when near the spot dropped dead on the sidewalk the sharp blade of Fleming s knife having penetrated his heart
 Fleming immediately disappeared, but later, accoInpdHieu py Di' Dio"h' 'ie Sot- ored physician, surrendered at police head quarters and was taken in charge by Off, ficers Mcknight, Eagan and Night Warden Rittenberry. He. was cut across the face in several places, and claims to have acted in self-defense.
 Townsend was quite a notorious charac- ter having been cleared some years ago by Attorney B. M. Allen of this city of charge of murder made against him in Chi cago.
 Fleming is well known in police circles, and does not bear a very enviable reputa- ton.

Aguinaldo
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 It is thought by some that Aguinaldo may be dead, but the war department does not believe it. No doubt four months is a long time for so active and important leader of his people to remain in hiding without any intelligence regarding him reaching those who would be likely to be communi- cated with. If he is not dead, the secret of his retirement is kept with remarkable fidelity, for, undoubtedly, there is much communication between Filipinos within our lines and those without But the pre- sumption that he is dead without the fact becoming generally known, looks quite as untenabe as the other. It seems unlikely that he died alone unattended, or that his body was never found and recognized, unless, indeed, he and his companions were massacred by savages who did not know their victims. But if he has been dead three ar four months, the continuance of hostilities, which were supposed to. be kept alive chiefly by his determined spirit, is somewhat disquieting.

 The conference was in session from early in the afternoon till 9:15 o'clock tonight, and at it's conclusion members of the griev- ance committee announced that an agree ment had been reached with the railway officials, but that they were not in a po- sition to announce its terms till the com pact had been ratified by the executive committee of the striking employees. The executive committee was in session at Walhalla hall awaiting developments in the conference and the grievance commit tee at once hurried thither. and both com mittees went into secret session. At mid night no fntimation had come from behind the closed doors to whether the two committees had agreed or disagreed on the conference proposition.
