"You know, suppose, that the worst

COmplainants-The Appointments of
Bishops to be Announced To-day.
The Methodist bishops held two ses-
'sions yesterday. one in the morning and
one in the afternoon. The morning ses-
sion was called to order at O'Clock,
with Bishop spellmeyer presiding. A
commission on the unifcation of the
different Methodist churches in Japan
selected Bishop Cranston. Rev. A. B.
Leonard, the missionary secretary;
Rev. c. W. Smith, of Pittsburg. Lemuel
skidmore. of New York, and Hon. C. z.
Lincoln, of Troy,
A commission on the uniication OF
book publishing concerns, consisting OF
eight laymen and seven ministers, haf
been under consideration during the
session. It was talked over yesterday,
but no definite action has yet been
taken.
Bishops Warren, Fowler and Fftzger-
aid were selected as members Of the
commission on the consolidation Of the
benevolent societies. The other memr
bers will be composed Of six ministers
and six laymen yet to be appointed.
In reference to the Nicely matter the
bishops declare that they have taken
no action. In speaking Of the matter
last evening Bishop Walden stated that
the bishops are responsible to the GEN
eral conference for their administraz
tions, and not to each other The bish-
ops disposed Of the matter yesterday
by voting to acknowledge the receipt OF
the papers in the matter and advise the
sendsrs that they (the bishops) had no
jurisdiction in the matter.
A vote was taken not to make public

the bishops resumed their session at
Grace M. E. church, Bishop Mcdowell
presiding Most Of the time was spent
in discussing the appointments.
Inc attention Of the bishops has been
called to the violation OF religious lib4

sion in this city this morning.

MOTTO LIKING oFPREss
sailing of Roiestvensky and His Fleet
From Vigo.


London, Nov. 2.-The fact that Ad-
miraI Rojestvensky with his feet sail
ed from Yigo is not to the liking of
a considerable section of the British
press. A reconsideration of the actual
words Premier Balfour used in his
speech at Southampton Friday night
shows that did not promise that the
fleet would be detained at Vigo, but
that it would be, was the general inn
preston drawn by the public from his
utterances, and accordingly there is
keen disappointment at the turn affairs
has taken.
The Morning Post says:
'sMr. Balfour's chief care seems to
have been to save 'Russia's honor and
the more lingo papers are frankly puz-
zled at the unexpected development in
the situation. A majority Of the morn
ing newspapers. however, are content
to refer to Tuesdays war alarms and
to regard all well that ends well.
1T is understood that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky with his squadron Is on the
way to join the Russian vessels now at
Tangier.'
The Daily Telegraph's Vigo corre-
spondent says:
'.How the second Pacific squadron's
coaling will be made is doubtful, es-
pecially as the colliers' crews are dis
affected. They are complaining of
slavery, rough treatment and their risk
Of life. Further they are mostly drunk
on sherry. Z
According to the Daily News one of
the officers detained at Vigo is Lieu
tenant Shramtchenko.
