MORE BISHOPS.

Probable That the MethOdists Will
Add Five to the Present Number.
Chicago, May 8. - AS the time ap-
proaches for settling the question Of
how many bishops are to be elected by
the Methodist general conference the
sentiment is growing among the dele
gates that none of the present occu-
pants OF the high Office should be re-
taiIed and placed Oh the suDerannu-
ated list. 1t seems probable that be-
cause of the advanced age of several
members of the episcopacy the COM
mittee on episcopacy will recommend
the election Of five additional bishops.
Three will be for work in this cOun-
try ard two to supervise the mission
ary work in Asia. This is the pro-
granme in favor with majority Of
the members of the committee on
episcopacy. The committee yesterday
began active work on the questions re-
ferred to it by the conference. Chair
man Buckley was authorized to aD-
point subcommittee on tenure of Of
flee. missionary bishops. districting of
bishops. episcopal residences and gen.
eral reference. A score of memorials
were read and referred to the appro-
pirate committees without discussion.

San Antonio, Tex, Damaged 100000
Worth.
San Antonio. Tex, May "a tornado
swept through San Antonio yesterday
morning and caused loss aggrcgating
over 100000. No loss of life is re-
ported. At Fort Sam Houston the
fire galleries of three barracks were
demolished and the officers quarters
were unroofed. Hundreds of trees
within the fort are utterly ruined.
Bexar county will be a heavy loser by
the wreckage of brighes. A huge
steel bridge over the Salado creek nine
miles from this place is completely
demolished. The damage will prob
ably reach $4,000. The Dullnig min
eral wells were damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000. Individual losses Of
several merchants range from $1,000
to $4,000. 1t is estimated that fifty
houses were damaged through the
blowing in of walls and roofs. The
damage caused by the collapse Of the
San Antonio Trust company's build
ing is $4,000. The known total loss
exceeds $1OG 600. A heavy rain storm
accompanied hy very high winds
swept over nearly the whole state
Sunday night and yesterday. Outside
Of San Antonio the greatest damage
has been to farm buildings and to
crops. So far no casualties have been
reported.

London, May 9-The Beers are every
where retiring before the British eX-
cept on the Natal frontier and at
Mafeking to the inner circle of their
defences. They appear determined not
to fight until the KrOOnStad hills are
reached. Lorn Roberts is expected to
do another forty or fifty miles and
then to wait for a time in order to
bring up supplies and to repair the
railway. There are one or two hints
: in the dispatches from the front that
he may rest for a few days at Small
deel. Gen. French's 10000 cavalry
have not been mentioned in the Of
fetal or uno cial dispatches for four
days. 1t is by no means likely that he
is idle, and the conjecture is that he
is either detouring toward Kroonstad
or daiding the Ladybrand district. Fif-
teen thousand British are now Operat-
ing on the western frontier of the
Free State. AS the deadlock at War
rerton has been broken and the Beers
are retreating. there is nothing fOrmid-
able except distance between Warren
ton and AIafeking. The
Most Hopeful Advices
from Mafeking of April % were that
the garrison would be barely able to
hold out for Il month. At that time
the fever was spreading. According
to advices from Maseru. Basutolund,
several thousand Free Staters are
| north Of Ladybrand. where they have
collected great herds. The district is
rich in food for men and horses and
the Beers seem resolved not to move
northward. but appear to be preparing
to resist where they are. If they are
let alone they will menace the line Of
communication after the main British
army has passed into the Transvaal
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener per-
sonally directed the artillery in the
Vet river engagement
Queen Victoria will send signed
photograph to Col Kekewich, the
hundred and fifty-eight troops are now
at sea OH the way to South Africa.
No others are under orders to go ex-
cept as recruits to fill up the losses of
regiments at the front.
Snyman IL Alarmed.
London. May 9-The Lourenzo Mar
ques correspondent of the Times says:
Commandant Snyman is so alarmed
at the prospect of having his retreat
cut off that he has applied for per-
mission to retire nOrthWard from
Mafeking to intercept Col. Plumer.
Beers Driven Out.
Warrenton. May 9.-The Beers have
been driven out of Fourteen Streams
and the British are now encamped OH

months ago and had recently been
weakened by workmen excavating for

Buffalo, n. Y, May 9. = At a con-
clusion of meeting Of the striking
car repairers of the Delaware, Lacka>
wanna & Western which was held at
East Buffalo last night and lasted until
q late hour. it was semi-o cially an
nounced if the company did not come
to terms with it's men at once the
strike would be extended on the line.
AS given out the programme is to call
out the men in the big locomotive
shops of the company at East Buff
falo and also the switchmen in the
East Buffalo yards. There was also
talk of extending the strike down the
line of the Buffalo division. but this
appeared to be considered as an after
thought. The executive committee OF
the Car Repairers' association, through
it's chairman. notified tn emaster me-
chanic of the Lackawanna that the
sliding scale would not be considered.
This seemed to complete the deadlock
and last nights meeting was the ext
step. There was talk of instituting the
extension as. early as tomorrow.

STRIKERS SUSPECTED
OF Starting a Fire Which Caused u
LOSS of $5OO,OOO.

of Starting "a Fire Which Caused u
LOSS of $5OO,OOO.
New York, May 9.-Fire last night
destroyed large section of the docks
and sheds Of the New Jersey Storage
con. pany. connected with the Standard
Oil company's Constable Hook works.
caasing property loss Of $500, 900.
There is some suspicion that the fire
was started by strikers who for the
past week have been troublesome
at the oil works and at the Oxford
Copper works which adjoin. The fire
started in one Of the sheds on pier.
and owing to the oil-soaked condition
of the building and those in the neigh
borhood the flames spread rapidly.
The oil tankship Adelphia was lying
alongside one of the piers and before
she could be hauled away took fire.
Tugs tried to get her off and beach her
on the Staten Island shore but the
hawsers caught fire and she went
adrift in the kilns. Three oil barges
which lay alongside the docks took
fire and were destroyed.
