today is one OF the most important OF the
week. Charges sgainst four bishops will
be heard bstween now and Saturday,
and their standing for the next four
years will depend upon the outcome OF
the hearing.
The most sensational event will be the
consideration Of the charges preferred by
Rev. George A. Cooke, OF New York,
against Bishops David 81. Moore, Of
Portland, Ore; Daniel A. Goodsell, Of
Boston; William F. Mcdowell, OF
Chicago, and Joseph Berry OF Buffalo.

THE METHODIiTS

10 view OF the developments of the
last two days, the recommendation con-
corning amusemens made Thursday by
the Board of Bishops, Ia their episcopal
address TO the General Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in session
in Baltimore, will probably be rejected
by a large ms ,riIy. Two movements
against radical change In the discipline
came to light yesterday which will have
great weight with the members of the
General Conference, and will 90 far to-
wards defeating the proposed measure
The committee on State and church, to
which that portion oflhe episcopal address,
was referred, is preparing an unfsvorable
report on the matter and one petition,
signed By 6, 900 MethodistS, has already
arrived 10 Baltimore protesting against
such action by the General Conference.
The following is a summary of the
proceedings on Saturday:
A second attempt was made 10 prevent
the exclusion of members Of The confer
ence from the executive sessions OF the
episcopscy committee, but 1t was un-
successful.
Rev. O. J. Fowler, OF Newton Cen.
ter, Mass., a member of The New Hamp.
shire Conference, appealed from the ac-
ton OF Bishop GOodsell 10 locating him,
and the appeal has been referred TO the
committee on judiciary.
Rev. DR.. Jim F. Goucher offered
Report No. OF the Commission on
Federation, proposing union with the
Methodist Protestant Church.
The FIRST resolution looking toward
the reduction in the sizs of the General
Conference Of the Methodist Church
wat offered.
Charges of maladmiuistration have
been preferred against Bishops Moore,
Mcdowell and Berry by Rev.
George A. Cooke, of New York.
The New Hampshire Conference will
intr doce memorial requesting the
General Conference TO divide the. work
Of the bishops into districts and assign
4 bishop to each district for four years.
The bishops and many prominent
ministerial delegstes occupied paIpiis 10
Protestant churches both IN the morning
aud at night.
Pacific coast delegates will enter a
strong protest against The contemplated
OF a Swedish Mission Con-
ference 10 that section of the country.
This afternoon the committee on the
,piscopacy will begin its inquiry into
he standing Of the bishops, with view
10 retiring those found 10 be not effective. |

The Socialists Convention.

Cb;c'go, May II With organization
perfected, the national socialist conven-
ton settled down ttdsy TO its first real
fight, that Of I'd ping rules to govern
the selection of candidates for president
and vice president In the past a ma
jority vote has been sufficient 10 name
the candidates, but today The les dsrs are
trying to force through two-thirds rule.
A lively contest which will probably
les. three or four days Is expected to
start toby over the terms OF the party's
declaration Of principles. The recon-
mendations of the last international con-
ference at Stuttgart are not accepted here
Is being best suited to this country.
A delegation from the socialist labor
party, De Leon faction, arrived here
today to try arrange az amslgamstion OF
the two organizations. They we're
colby received, the general impression
being that they ave not the strength to
make it worth while.
While The Debs sentiment is still SUI
preme in the convention, friends of the
other candidatea mentioned are active.
Obs, friends of William ID. Haywood,
OF Denver, secretary-tref surer Of the
Western F dsration of Miners, are
working on him TO have statement Is.
sued hat he Is not presidential candi-
date al d never has been. They fear
that if he i, defeated sitter making
fight be will loss his Influence 10 the
party and declare that he 10 young
enough to wait four years.
Some of the women delegates are de-
sirious of emulating the example set
some years ago of q woman cand date,
and are urging the claims Of Ida Crouch
Hszlet', of Montana, for second place
on the ticke'.
Victor Berger, of Milwaukee, in an
imprisoned speech today on the floor
of the socialist convention demanding
that The organization dsclsre In favor of |
trades unior, warned the convention
that be and his friends will bolt II |
union'sn is not favored The conven-
ton is in an uproar as q result OF a fight
