UMPIRE CONNOLLY RESIGNS.
His Withdrawal Attributed to Abuse
From Baseball Plnyers

NEW YORK. May l5.-Thomas II. Con-
molly. one OF the National League umpires
has resigned, and IL is said that the posi-
ton has been offered to Frank Dwyer,
formerly a pitcher Of the Cincinnati club.
Conuollys resignation is said TO be due to
the abuse he received at the hands Of the
ball players. While in New York recently
he said that he had been subjected 10 the
yilest kind Of abuse from the players ever
since the season opened He was severely
criticised by portion ot the press for his
work on the diamond. but many fair mind
ed spectators thought his judgment was
very fair. considering the difficulties of the
single umpire system Nearly every man
ager and umpire in the League has regis
tered kick against sirgle umpires. and
every one has wondered why the magnates
voted TO abolish the double umpire system.
which worked so much better during the
past few years.
Manager Ewing, of the New Yorks, is the
latest one to protest against the single UNI
pire system. He says a common trick that
was worked on the umpire in the East was
while the official was watching FIRST base
The umpire's attention being attracted to
first base, and his back being turned to
third the runner proceeds to slight the
third corner about twenty feet and makes
his way to the plate before the umpire
knows what is happening

OPPOSED TO MORE BISHOPS.
Governor shaw Leads the Fight in
the Methodist Conference.

CHICAGO. May i5.-Gov. Leslie NJ
Shaw. of Iowa. led the fight in the Method
list General Conference this morning against
the election OF any more bishops. He had
hack OF him a large number OF laymen and
some ministers. whost motto was Not
more bishops. but more service from bish-
ops We have" and he and his supporters
went prepared 10 make public some more Of
their plain truths" about the non-effec-
tiyeness Of bishops of the church
The committee on Episcopacy decided
Yesterday afternoon. after two hours de-
bate. 10 recommend the election Of two
additional bishops. The vote had been no
sooner announced than Governor Shaw call
ed for a rally of all the opponents OF the
proposal to create more Offices. He or
ganized his following last night and in the
corridors Of the Aud d'torium this morning
and went into the meeting determined 10
win. All other matters were lost sight OF
at the session.
The devotional exercises were conducted
by DR.. 5. F. Upham, OF the Drew Theo-

sided at the business session. Less than
an hour was taken up in the usual roIlcaii
and shortly before 10 O'Clock the report Of
the committee on EpiscOpacy was called
for. The report recommended the cleo
tion of two new missionary bishops and
two new home bishops. Then came the
animated debate on the proposition.

Today marks the end Of the third week
since the American demand for the prompt
settlement OF the Armenian indemnity was
presented to the Porte by Lloyd c. Girls
com. the Charge d'Anaires OF the United
States at ConstantinOple. Turkey has
made no response although it was plainly
stated in the note that this Government
expected that her answer would not be
delayed In speaking about the character
of the communication presented by Ir
Griscom. a State Department official said
two days after it was laid before the For
eign Office authorities in ConstsntinOple;
while it is not an ultimatum. We are
pressing Turkey as hard as We can a2a
will continue 10 90 so. We have deriande 4
prompt settlement and will insist upon our
demand being acceded to-
1t was explained by officials at tbe time
that Turkey would be given a reasonable
period within which to submit her answer.
In the opinion of many Of those interested
in the matter that reasonable period has
passed. The President and the other on
oials who will define the attitude Of the
United States if the demand is not salts
fed are probably of the same opinion but
those IN the inner Administration circle
are not disposed to discuss the matter.
tlnOple last week that Mr. Griscom had re-
newed the demand. but the State Depart
ment authorities say that while his origI-
nal instructions would permit him 10 press
Turkey. he has not informed the Depart
ment Of any second attempt to stir the
Porte TO action and had not been speeif-
cally instructed TO take that course. In
view Of the present condition Of the ne
Sotiations it is not impossible that the
Government will make another and stiffer
demand with a time limit set within which
Turkey must make a definite response.
So far the United States Government has
made no threats as TO what IL would do il
the indemnity is not paid. Its latest note
did not even imply a threat Whether
there will be an ultimatum If Turkey
makes an unsatisfactory reply or ignores
the American demand has not been ascer-
tanned, but following the usual course of
diplomacy. a formal warning viii perhaps
be delivered before this Government re-
sorts to the extreme of breaking of dip
lomatic relations with the Sultan Be-
yond such severance the Government will
hardly go if present intentions are carried
out.

a payment to an American shipbuilding
concern that would be given a contract for

Bridge Over Wateree River
Swept Away.

Camden. Feb 13.-Tne Seaboard
Air Line temporary bridge over the
Wateree River was swept away at
11.45 this morning. The bridge had
been in danger ever since yesterday
morning Great apprehension vas felt
that when it gave away that it would
carry with it the iron passenger bridge
a few hundred yards below. The only
thing that saved the iron bridge was
thas the wooden bridge gave away
before the river got any higher. it
beiug 231 feet, which allowed room
enough for most Of the timbers to pass
under the iron bridge. Scme of the
simbers are lodged against the iron
bridge, but workmen are now trying to
remove then. and the danger is prac.
ticalIy over About three fourtts of
the railroad bridge was swept away.
This will, of course, greatly delay the
completion Of the Seaboard AR Line
extension.
