TIME CARD MEETING.
Santa Fe Superintendent Discussing

This week the division superintend-

1t is said that no changes of impor-

year when the California limited train

A COLORED BISHOP.
Dr.. Bowen of Atlanta Stands a Good
Chance at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 16.-The third
week of the Methodist general confer
ence commencing today promises to see
the settlement of a majority of the great
church problems that are now pressing
for solution. The most important Of
these is the determination of the num-
Der of bishops to be chosen and their
final selection. At this afternoon
the question of how many bishops the
conference shall name will be taken up,
and DR.. Buckley, chairman Of the COM
mittee has promised the conference
that the report of his committee on the
subject will be ready Tuesday morning
The number of new bishops that win be
elected is entirely prOblematical. the
retirement of Bishops Andrews, wal
den, Mallalieu, Vincent and Foss by the
vote of the conference last Saturday,
the acceptance of Bishop Merrill res
ignation and the deaths of Bishops
Ninde and Hurst during the last qua
drennium. make eight vacancies on the
board of bishops. This number with
two missionary bishops that are likely
to be chosen, makes total OF ten TO De
elected. The conference may or may
not, however. fill all Of these vacancies
on the board.
In the meantime, there is no dearth
of candidates for bishopric honors- Pro-
ba bly, Is names are being discussed in
connection with the position. Most
prominent among these are the follow
ing:
Dr- W. r. McDOWelis secretary OF the
board of education; Dr. J. F. Berry, ed
itor of the Epworth Herald; DIR. Henry
Spellmyer, of Newark DR. J. r. Day,
chancellor of Syracuse university; Dr.
J. w. Bashford, president Ohio Wes-
leyan seminary; DIG. F. BOvard, pres
ident of the University of Southern Cal
ifOrnia; DR.. H. G. Jennings, agent or
the Western Book concern; DIR. Geo.
p. Eckman, of New York; DIR. VIM A.
Quayle of Kansas City; DR.. J. T. Nc
Farland, Topeka, and DR.. J. w E.
Bowen, the colored educator of Atlanta,
Ga.
A constitutional provision is limited
at, which may prevent the election ofa
coIored bishop. The colored delegates,
however, supported by a considerable
following of white delegates, are max
ing a vigorous campaign for the cleo
ton of DR.. Bowen, and if no constitu-
tional barrier is found to prevent IT
seems likely that he will be chosen
The Pacific coast contingent has ia
ken renewed hope with the retirement
ops, and the creation of a correspond
ing number of vacancies, and the posi-
BILE chances of several candidates are
being earnestly discussed. Chief among
among these is DR.. @. f BOvard, pres
ident of the University of Southern
Intyre and DR.. John L. Pietner, of Los
Angeles, DR.. E r. Dill of Oakland, and
Dr. Edwin NJ. Randall of Tacoma
There has been no decision on the part
Of the Pacific coast delegations to sup
port any single candidate for the reason
that it is generally understood that #
the conference bestoWS this honor upon
any one of the coast states it viii be
largely a matter of courtesy and the
united aggressive support of any single
candidate by the western delegates
would hardly result in increasing their
chances for recognition

Atchison Globe: A New York news
paper man named 7. Howard NelIis
lately printed a roast of Richard
Harding Davis. Mr.. Nellis no doubt
believes that he has given Mr.. Davis
a very hard poke; but the facts are
that Mr.. Davis was not injured a par
ticle. Every statement made against
him was VIGOROUSLY untrue. People
know Davis, and they know Nellis.
They know that Nellis hates Davis for
no other reason than that Davis is a
sober. Industrious. well-behaved man,
whereas Nellis is given to high balls.
If Nellis has Davis ability, he certain
" lacks his industry. Nellis has in
jured himself, rather than Davis,in his
vicious attack Those VINO read mis- ar
ticle will know at once that NelIis is
being neglected more than usual, and
that Davis is attracting little more
than the usual attention. You cannot
pull your enemy down by inventing
and printing foolish falsehoods about
him. If you down him. you must meet
him on the square, and down him on
the square
