LOS ANGELES, May 3.-Where
does Methodism stand on the color
question?
Will the general conference opening
in Los Angeles today consent to elect
a colored delegate to the episcopacy?
Those are the problems upon which
the greatest possible divergence Of
opinion rests, both among the white
and colored members.
That the colored delegation to the
conference will ask for colored bish-
op as its common right is generally be-
lieved, but the outcome is a matter
only of conjecture.
The relation of the 1904 conference
to the problem in the south, and the
extent to which it will go toward plac-
ing the white and colored Methodist
on the same footing has been moot
ed question in the Methodist church
for some months.
The church and the government Of
the country have given the black man
equal rights to serve. Will they give
him equal rights to rule?
If the conference elects colored

bishop in May, it will have made pre-
cedent and answered the question for
the church.
Four years ago the colored man
knocked at the door of Methodism
asking for this double right and his
cause was defeated.
A year ago colored delegates to the
Presbyterian general assembly meeting
in Los Angeles made the same plea to
Presbyterianism and they were put off
until some more convenient time.
The election of a bishop in the May
conference would be looked upon as a
step toward social equality, not only
for the colored people of Methodism,
but for the entire colored race.
Balloting for the election to the epis-
copacy is scheduled to commence Mon
day, May l6. To this election the col
ored delegation is coming with de-
termination to use every power of
persuasion, reason, appeal, and politl-
cal device.
Rev. L. M. Dunton, D. D., president
of Clahin university, the largest of
the 40 colored institutions in the state,
and delegate to the conference, as rep
resentative of the Freedman's Aid and
Southern Educational society of the
Methodist Episcopal church, says:
81 have had charge of the work at
Caflin university for 81 years, min
inistering to and teaching both the
blacks and whites of the south. 1t is
my opinion that the colored delegates
should and will request the election OF
a bishop. From personal experience
7 believe the colored man to be one of
the best citizens America has, and that
education will solve the problem in
the south as well as the north.
"As | have found the negro, he
wants the rights of an American cit.
izen, but between rights political and
rights social the colored man of intel
ligence and training has learned to
distinguish.
81 do not think the majority of the
colored race believes in inter-marriage,
and as the individuals are educated
the clan-like element in their nature
is strongly emphasized
"The work among the freedmen in
the south is suffering today for the
services of three colored bishops.
say colored advisedly, because the pc
cular need calls for resident bishops.
"The principal objection to a colored
bishop, which will be made in the epis-
copacy sessions of the conference, is
the necessity of such a one presiding
over white as we'll as colored confer
ence."
DR.. button, who is in Los Angeles
primarily to see fair play for the col
ored man. proposes to recommend that
a colored man be elected to the epis
copacy as a missionary" bishop, and
as such he may be appointed to pre-
side over colored conferences only.

recommendation, it will necessitate an,

SUCKING COLT IS
PIECE OF USUAL
AND REASONABLE
FURNITURE. :

WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
At last the treasury department has
decided definitely the exact status of
a sucking colt. To some people this
may seem to be simple enough job.
They'd probably call a colt young
horse and let it go at that. But not
so the treasury department. In the
eyes of the experts the aforesaid suck
ing colt is not young horse at all,
not even an animal, but comes under
the head of usual and reasonable fur
niture." If the mother of the colt is
a bureau, so to speak, the colt might
be called a bureau drawer, or knob,
or a handle. Almost anything is pos
sible with the treasury department.
The legal standing of the unwean-
ed colt was established for the depart
ment by the board of general apprais-
ers at New York. An immigrant com
ing over the Canadian border brought
with him a team of horses. One of
these horses happened to be the moth
er of the now famous colt. Under
laws previously made and enforced
he was allowed to fetch across hia
team of horses without paying duty!
but not so with the hungry little colt!
The collector of customs at Bur |
lington, VT, who sat in first judg-;
ment on the case, decided that the
colt must pay $50 duty. So hes col
lected that amount, although the little
horse was valued at only S25. +, The
case was appealed to the board and the
Al koA a
horse is a "piece of usual and rea-
sonable furniture" there was no earth
ly reason why the colt wasn't another
piece. 1t was very plain, they said,
that if the colt were separated from
its mamma it would cease to be of
value because it would die, if not fed
on the bottle, they might have added,
so it was still in reality a part of
the mother in the eyes of the law.

HIS WAGES APE
500 Per day

If plans now being perfected are
carried out by the Washington Water
Power company the amount of power
developed in and about Spokane will
be increased from $4,000 to 100000
horse power. This means the full de-
velopment of the power in the city of
Spokane, an increase to five times the
present capacity and the production of
10000 horse power at Post falls.
Clemens Herschel, an eminent by.
draulic engineer from the east, is now
in this city developing plans for the
improvement. Herschel was formerly
consulting engineer for the Niagara
Falls Power company. He is working
at Post falls at the present time, and
is drawing 500 day for his services.
The power at Post falls will be de-
veloped Immediately to half its ulti-
mate capacity These improvements
completed the power in Spokane will
be developed to 10000 horse power.
This work will take several years
more.
These improvements will mean IN
expenditure of $l,00O,000 to 81 800, 900.
Upon their completion the Washington
Water Power company will have avail
able more power than both Tacoma
and Seattle. This power will be con-
sumed in great measure in mining
and manufacturing enterprises.
