LOCAL OPTION IS INuoKSED
METhODi6T9 IN CONFERENCE
GIVE SANCTION.
Two Bishops are Elected. Or. QuayIs
Of Chicago and Editor Sxlsh
Of Ptttsbvrg.

Baltimore, Md, May 2s.-The gem.
eral conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, at q prolonged
session, today put itself ON record as
indoreing unquahtaedly the work Of
the Anti-Saloon league and also IA
vor1ng local option. Both of these
positions are new with the church,
as up to this time no special organi-
cation has had the specific indorse-
ment OF the church, while it has
stood on the other hand for absolute
prohibition everywhere.
This result was attained only after
one of the stormieet meetings yet held,
during which the opponents of the
majority report called to their aid all
manner of parliamentary tactics in
their efforts to defeat it. It was con-
tended by the minority adherents that
1t was wrong for the general confer
ence to indorse any particular organi-
zation, and also that it was distinct
violation of the standard of the church
TO come out in favor Of local option.
Rev. DR.. William A. Quayle, pastor
OF st. James church Chicago, was
elected bishop on the tenth ballot.
There was no election on the eleventh
ballot. The twelfth resulted In the
election of Rev. G. w. Smith, editor
Of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
The thirteenth ballot resulted in no
election.

MAscors FOR BATTLEsHIPs.
Twelve Bear Cubs Appear In Big Par
ade at Seattle.

Seattle. Wash, May 2s.-Rear Ad-
miral Charles S. Sperry, commanding
the Atlantic battleship fleet landed
5000 men, who made Seattle holiday
by parading through the streets of the
city. The fighters on the sea were ac-
companied by land force of coast ar
tillery and infantry from the neighbor-
ing forts of Lawton, Worden, Casey
and Flagler, and local militia and civic
societies.
An amusing diversion was made in
the middle of the procession by the ap-
pearance Of 12 bear cubs, brought
from the city Of Aberdeen to he pre-
sented as mascots to the battleships.
Each bear was led by a prominent
citizen of Aberdeen.
Immense baskets of rhododendrons,
the flower of the state Of Washington,
had been provided for floral greeting
to the sailors and soldiers as they
passed the reviewing stand. These
went hurling through the air to the
feet of the paraders.
In the afternoon there were sports
on sea and on land and band concerts.

Washington. May 2S.-After two

The compromise successfully ran
the gauntlet, passing by a vote of 166
to 140. the number OF present and
not voting being six.
The conference report on currency
was reported to the house late
Wednesday afternoon, and its consid-
GRAFTON was Immediately begun.
The only point which was unsettled
by the Republican conferees during
the session was that pertaining to the
question OF time limitation upon
the proposed bill. Mr.. Burton held
out stiffly for a five years limit. and
was supported by his fellow conferees
OF the house: but the senators were
inclined towards the view that no
, limit should be fixed. and so persistent
were both sides that when they adj
journed no agreement had been
reached on that point. 1t was repre-
sented to the conference that the ad.
ministration sided with the senators,
and after adjournment Secretary Taft
held a conference with Mr.. Burton in
/ the hope of bringing him over, in
which he was not successful at the
time.

REFUSE TO END CAR STRIKE
CLEVELAND STREET RAILWAY
MEN TO STICK"
Additional DesertIons from Ranks Of
Union ToiIers Reported-com-
pany's Ultlmatum Expires.

Cleveland, O., May 27.--At meet.
ing of the striking street railway con.
ductors and motormen Tuesday 1t
was voted to continue the strike
against the Municipal Traction Com
pany. There we're additional deser-
tions from the ranks of the strikers
Tuesday, many returning to work.
The company's ultimatum to take all
men back at the old wages and with
out prejudice expired at six o'clock
Tuesday.
The meeting Of the strikers was
held in the wake of the break in prac-
tically all of the peace agreements,
and was attended by about 500
strikers, out of t,700 who originally
walked out May 16. IT also was voted to
continue the negotiations for arbitra-
tion with the clause providing for q
consideration of the seniority rights
of the present employees eliminated.
1t was argued that if the arbitration
board should find that the old contract
with the Cleveland Electric Railway
Company was binding upon the Muni.
cipal Traction Company, and that the
strikers were entitled to their posi-
tions as they existed on April 27, the
last day of the existence of the old
company, the finding would have the
effect of displacing the non-union en-
p1oyes now at work and place the jobs
back in the hands. of the old men.
Whether the company, in view of the
refusal Of the present employees to
have their rights submitted to arbi-
tration, will proceed along this line is
uncertain. A refusal is expected ow-
ing to the stand taken by President
Dupont Of the Traction Company, in
saying that he would protect the men
now at work.

south of here on horse he stole
from the State Penitentiary, Emmett
Berry, a 19-year-old convict, was can
tnred fourteen miles from Bridge
port. Cal, early today. Chas. Hager-
man, the prison guard, who alone
kept up the pursuit, took the escaped
convict unaided. Berry, almost dead
from lack OF food and sleep. fell from
his saddle as the guard came on
him. The youthful convict was taken
to the Jail at Bridgeport. He will be
yextradited
Berry broke prison by jumping on
a horse that had been ridden into the
penitentiary yards by the cowherd.
He rode into the sagebrush and.
night coming, was soon lost to sight.
His trail was followed throughout the
southwestern part of the State. All
the pursuers but Hagermon gave up
the chase. Lack of Geographic COM
'munication prevented the prison au.

In the sparsely settled counties Of
Berrys identity. The convict trede
