BISHOP DAY RESIGNS.
Asks for Relief From Further Atfen

Asks for Relief From Further Atten-
 tion on Conference.
 Los Angeles, Cal, May 2s.--The Methodist general conference at the opening of it's fourth and last week : labor, found itself confronted with a duty almost unprecedented In the his- tory of the Methodist Church. that of acting on the resignation of one of its bishops-elect. Rev. James R. Day. chancellor of the Syracuse University who on last Saturday was chosen as the last of the eight bishops elected by the present conference. resigned his place in the Episcopal board and was excused. at his request, from further attendance upon the conference.
 Beside acting on Bishop Days res ignation, the conference to-day heard the report of the tellers on the vote taken Saturday afternoon for three missionary bishops. which showed the election of Dr. I. B. Scott as an addi- tionai missionary bishop to Africa, and Dr. William P. Oldham and Dr. John E. Robinson as additional missionary bishops in Southern Asia. Dr. c, NJ Harris was elected in the ballot taken this morning for the missionary bish- opric of Japan and Korea, a new dis trict created by the present confer ence. Thursday. May 26. was fixed upon as the date for the consecreatior ceremonies of the seven newly elect. ed general superintendents and four missionary bishops
 Four hours of to-day's session were devoted to special memorial services In honor of the memory of the bishops who have died during the last quad- rennium and to the late President Will liam Mckinley. A motion by pr. J. M. Buckley to proceed to ballot for a sue cessor to Dr. J. R. Day, resigned. was defeated and the conference voted to postpone indefinitely the further cleo tion of general superintendents

Hob.on May Be Chosen.

Among the district contests is the interesting possibility that Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson may be sent to St. Louis as delegate from the Sixth Congressional District There has been some gossip as to the prob- ability that Captain Hobson might be chosen as either temporary or perma- nent chairman of the convention. This gossip was dismissed by the delegates who reached thes city last night as highly improbable. Captain Hobson since his spectacular race in the Sixth Congressional District, has become a prominent figure in Alabama politics. The Hale County delegation will come to the convention with the unanimous determination of sending Captain Hob- son to St. Louis.
 The members of the committee and large number of delegates to the con- vention will reach the city this morn inng on the morning trains. Other delegates will come in on the night trains. The scene familiar for so many years in the lobby of the Exchange Hotel the eddying, good-natpred and scordial crowd, will again be witnessed
 It will be witnessed for the last night. When the next convention Of Alabama Democrats meets, there will be no Exchange Hotel. A new, modern and up-to-date hotel will have taken It's place. and although 1t may be called the Exchange Hotel. 1t will not be tlie hotel that has been familiar to she Democracy of Alabama for half cen tury. The work of demolishing tho present hotel will begin the first Of next October, and many political lead- CTS from various sections of Alabama will see the, old familiar lobby for the last time tonight and tomorrow
 The next convention will not only bring new candidates and their friend8 but these candidates and their friepdsl will meet in new scenes to make states and discuss probabilities.
 The Convention Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association has been at work in making arrange-' ments for the comfort and conveniences of the convention. Everything is m. readiness now for the assembling of the first convention of Democrats since q the wildly enthusiastic gathering three years ago named delegates to the Con- stitutional Conventionn.

ARuGMENT coNcLupEp.
Case to Prevent Carrying Out of Plan
 of Distribution of Securities.

Trenton. N. J., May 23.-Argument was concluded to-day before Judge Bradford. in the United States Circuit Court in the case of the application of E. H. Hartman and Winslow F. Pierce to restraln the proposed plan of distri- button of the assets of the Northern Securities Company. which was decid- ed by the United States Supreme Court to be an Illegal combination.
 The concluding argument for the Northern Securities Company was made by John G. Johnson of Philadel- phia and w. D. Guthrie of New York closed tbe argument on behalf of the complainant. The argument on both sides turned largely on the question as to the title to the Northern Pacific stock which Hartman and Pierce put into combination and which amounted to about $79.000. .000. The main con- tention of Mir. Johnson was that the stock had become the absolute prop erty of the Northern Securities Com pany and that it was perfectly legal for the Northern Securities Company to carry out the pro rata plan of dis tribution upon which the company had agreed
 Mir. Guthries point was that by req the Northern Pacific stock had not passed from Hartman and Pierce, and that in consequence they were entitled to have returne dto them the particu- lar stock which they put into the com- bination and which involved the con- trol of the Northern Pacific Company.

TRANSIT or ARMS STOPPED.
Brazil FOrBfds Use of the AmazOn to
 the Peruvian Government.


 the Peruvian Government.
 Washington, May 23.--The Brazilian legation has received the following from the Brazilian foreign office:
 The Brazilian government has pro- hibited the transit of arms and ann munitions for Peru through the Bra ziIian part of the Amazon. The navi- gation of the Amazon was open to all friendly nations by Brazil in the year 1866. and under the treaty of com merce and navigation with Peru of october 10, 1891. certain facilities were granted her for the transit of various kinds of merchandise. But 1t is undeE- stood that these facilities only refer to Innocent transit and in no way to that of clements of aggression against Brazil and her citizens, In this case the convention right of transit which Peru might claim for other purposes, enters into the conflict with the natur- al and absolute right of Brazil to pre- vent future aggressions. By that pro- hibition Brazil exercises the funda- mental right of self preservation which can prudently be resorted to before the use of reprisals."
