ATTACKS ON CHARACTERS
 OF METHODIST MINISTERS

Baltimore Md. May 24.-The Meth odlst Episcopal General Conference now current will doubtless be long re- membered for the number and peculiar character of the attacks that have been made upon candidates for the bishop rics to be filled.
 Thus far, four men have suffered more or less by reason of the cfrcula- ton among the delegates of stories. some of them very vague and not all of them told. with their proper and just explanations
 The most pronounced sufferer has been Rev. Dr. Charles l.. GoodeH of New York. A Plcayune story that falsely represented, Rev. Dr.. William A. ouayle as having in his youth acted the part of a jilt, apparently hurt him for a time, but the reaction brought by the statement of the truth has been markedly to his advantage. 4 similar result is probable in the case of Rev. Dr Joseph C. Hingeley. Secretary of the conference. against whom a resi- dent of the doctors home city Minne- apolis. attempted to influence delegates and succeeded for tlme-by means of telegrans declaring that Minneapolis was astounded at the prominence giv- en Dr. Hingeley in the halioting. A fourth candidate, who has been made the victim of story partly told, which, 1T told in run, could not possibly have influenced the vote of any sane man against him. Is Rev. pr. George P. Eckman, of New York.
 It is not unlikely that the tenth bal lot. which will be counted early to- morrow morning and announced to the conference upon its assembling, will result in the election of two more bishops, leaving four to be chosen. There are some indications and more hope-that the selection of men for elevation to the Episcopacy will there after go on more rapidly, though none will venture a prediction as to when this portion of the work of the confer enoe will be completed.
