NEW METHODIST BISHOPS
THREE ELECTED BY THE GEN
 ERAL CONFERENCE.
Dr. ". F. Mcdowell, of New York, pr. Henry speIImeyer, of New York, and Dr. J. w. Bashford, of Delaware, the Lucky aIen-Dr. William Burt prob- ably Elected on Fifth Ballot.

Los Angeles, May 19.-Three addition al bishops were elected to-day at the Methodist General Sconference-Dr w. IF Mcdowell, of New York, and Dr. Henry Spellmeyer, of Newark, N. J., on the second ballot, which was an- lnounced at the morning session, and pr. J. w. Bashford, of Delaware, Ohio, ichosen on the fourth ballot late this afternoon. The third ballot resulted in Inc election. Dr. J. P. Berry, of Chi cago, was chosen on the first ballot.
 The fourth ballot presented Dr. Will liam Burt and Dr. T. B. Neely at the head of the list after Dr. Bashford, in the order named, with 460 and 440 votes, respectively. Dr. R. J. Cook had 394, D. l. B. Wilson S45. Dr. J. w. Bowen (colored) 253, Dr. H. c. Jennings 223, Dr. J. R. Day 196, Dr. George P. Eek man 1S3, Dr. c. ". Smith 165, Dr. w. A. Quale 121, Dr. G.. H. Buchtel S1, Dr. c. F. Bovard 14 and Dr. Robert Me Intyre IA Several other candidates re- cefved small complimentary votes
 The fifth ballot was taken just before adjournment, and as result of it it is reasonably certain that Dr. William Burt is elected as the fifth bishop, and perhaps Dr. Neely sixth
 Dr. Bowen's loss of eighteen votes on the fourth ballot is thought to be an indication that he is out of the running, but it does not necessarily affect his candidacy for missionary bishop.
 The conference instructed the Epis- copaey committee to consider the ques- tion of missionary bishops to be elected and to report to the conference to-mor- row morning.

Some Spicy Remarks.

Indiana and Kentucky locked horns
in the House Wednesday. The debate.
which involved nearly every member OF
both State delegations, was fast and
furious from start to finish. Kentucky
demanded of Indiana the return OF W..
S. Taylor, that he might be tried for
the assassination of William Goebel.
The assault was made by Mr.. James, OF
Kentucky, and the defense was led by
Mr.. Crumpacker, of Indiana. Partisan
feeling rose to an extreme tension. and
as either side scored both applause
derision resulted. The debate was
based on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill.
Mr.. James fred both sides Of the
House to interest and feeling by de-
claring at the outset that the Rough
Rider President" was ridiculous in his
message to Congress favoring interna-
tional extradition treaties. when one
State could not get from another fugi-
tive from justice. He had. he said,
introduced a biii in which the Federal
government made eXtradition compul-
sorry In cases where persons had been
indicted for crime. For four years, he
said. Governor Durbin, of Indiana, had
protected Taylor. who had been resu-
larly indicted in Kentucky for the muir
der OF Goebel, land yet notice that
when Durbin comes to town." con-
tinued MIR. James. "he is wined and
dined by this great Don Quixote upon
extradition. who absolutely confdes
to Durbin the right to give the wait
ing and anxious world the news that
Hanna can run for President If he
wants to. And when we all read that,
we again declare the king can do no
wrong"
Mr.. Crumpacker. of Indiana, arose
to make a reply to Mr.. James, and
brought storm of questions from the
Democratic side.
