requested that his name be not used,
said in speaking Of the conference:
ut is up to the miners now. We
have agreed TO everything and nothing
remains now but for them to return to

by the coiliery managers. These notices
will be practically similar to the Read

only being changed. look for re-
sumption OF operations by Monday at

Just how soon the official order noii-
flying the men that the strike is ended
and to return to work will be issued by
Presiden; Mitchell can only be conjcc-

to return will be issued until a notice
similar to or in ,ine with that Of the
Reading and Lehigh companies is post

expecta tions OF their Original promoters
and subsequent owners. The remain
ing sixteen. representing capital Of
$195.00O.OO. have proved at least In a
degree disappointing. and their appar-
ent losses are much larger than the
gains Of the others. As a rule the pre-.

The UNION Republican prim-
aries to elect delegates to their
State Convention to meet in Do
yer, on Tuesday, April Sd, will
be held this afternoon. If the
tone of their papers is an index
to the party members generally
since the Republican convention
then they are very unhappy.
They must anticipate the turning
down of their delegates by the
Philadelphia Convention. The
erratic and irresponsible San has
even called upon former Senator
Anthony Higgins to save them.
This may be to prejudice friends
of Mr.. Higgins, or it is forlorn
hope to win primary votes. Of
course Mr.. Higgins maintains a
dignifed silence as he has done
under all the abuse from the
same source.
The attitude of William s. Hill

stances, towards the following
announcement in the EUening

ministers, however, favored
By the pastor or
elder and elections by
quarterly conference. They de-
feated resolution allowing a
more Republican Democratic par
ticipation in at least one annual
official church meeting by the
members. Indeed there is not
much left to the greater number
of Methodist members except to
give-they are urged to stake
part" in all collections. A ma
jority of Wilmington Conference
voted against even one congre-
gational official meeting where
all would be equal for one hour
of the year. The Protestant
Episcopal Church, the mother of
Methodism, teaches a different
lesson every Easter Monday.
The Lay Conference among
other good suggestions advocated
system for the selection of pre-
siding elders different from the
present method which is, like the
ministerial appointments, solely
in the hands of the bishop though
the Bishops Council, which is
composed of the presidingelders,
usually fixes the appointments
and names their own successors
for the endorsementof the bishop.
He gives audience to pastors and
representatives of the churches,
and usually favors the plans of
the elders. It will be remem-
bered that the four delegates
elected to the General Confer
ence, as reported last week, were
the four elders. The ministerial
delegates to General Conference
are mostlyelders. Theymakethe
Bishops; the Bishops make the
elders. Wheels within wheels.
The Lay Conference favored the
nomination of elders by the An
nual Conference. This and other
reforms will come to the church
through lay representation. 1t
is not surprising that Principal
Collins announced in Conference:
"Oh! to be an Elder
And with the Elders stand" etc.
