Little Rock, Nov. ..21.-During the coming week the Little Rock Conference of the Methodist church, South, will convene at Malvern, and matters of more than ordinary interest are ex- pected to come up.
 Visitors from various states are expected. Bishop Key will preside, it is stated, and Bishop Atkins, of North Carolina, and other dignitaries are said to be preparing to come.
 There is feeling of unrest and anxiety among the Metho- dist of this city, regarding the Malvern meeting, and while none will discuss it, developments of a sensational character in con nection with past occurances are looked for by some. A large delegation will go from Little Rock. Dr. W. E. Thompson, who has been re-assigned to the Central Methodist church, at Memphis, is expected. to be present,

Prohibition for Alabama Passes.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 20 Unprecedented scenes were en- acted in the Senate Chamber of the legislature of Alabama today when the statutory prohibition bill was passed. Women and chil- dren thronged corridors and gal lery and even usurped the sanci- ty of the floor, pushing the sena- tors from their seats and giving vent to their enthusiasm by shout ing and cheering that re-echoed through the building.
 Senators who opposed the bill were hissed down when they arose to speak against the meas ure, and Lieutenant Governor Gray, the presiding officer of the Senate, was forced to reprove the senators.
 The statutory prohibition bill which was passed today was in the nature of a compromise be tween the "antis" and the prohi- bitionists, the "antis" agreeing to give up the fight provided the time was extended to January, 1909, when the whiskey would be forbiddenin the state of Alabama. This amendment will be sent tC the house tomorrow. and will be concurred in without fight.
