The Lusltania Breaks Record for Short
est Trip Over Long Course.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Trans-Atlan-
tic records for average speed and for
the shortest.t trip over the long course
were broken by the Cunard steamer Lu-
sitnnia yesterday. The big ship an
.cliored off Sandy Hook lightshlp in g.
heavy fog at 2:5b this morning, four
days twenty hours and twenty-five
minutes after passing Daunts Rock,
This beats the best previous time for
the long course, made by her sister
ship, the Mauretania, by three hours
and thirty-seven minutes, and Is only
one hour and forty-two minutes longer
than the Lustania's record of four
days eighteen hours and forty minutes
over the short course.
The Lusitana's average speed for
the voyage was BASS knots, and this
time goes for toward the securing for
her owners the British mall subsidy
of s75O.O0O9 promised when the Lusi-
tania and the Mauretania each shall
average 2+.50H knots per hour or hetteE
for q round trip passage,

BALTIMORE, MD. May 22.-Whilc
balloting and reporting Intellectual ball
lots for bishops to-day consumed much
OF the time and absorbed much of the
interest of the delegates to the Metho-
dist Episcopal General Conference, in
the intervals and in committee meet
ings there was not a little important
work done.
One choice was reported rs the result
of the fifth, sixth. seventh and eighth
ballots
Perhaps the most notable showing of
the ballots was the rapid advance in
the standing of the Rev. Homer C.
Stuntz. who. with 1875 votes on the
fourth ballot. the last one the result
of which was announced to the con-
ference yesterday. went up to third
place. with 427 votes. on the seventh
ballot
The leading colored candidate. Rev.
NJ C. Mason, withdrew from the con-
test Rev. w. "A. Quayle, of Chicago.
advanced to second place, with $50
votes, and though showing a net loss
of nine votes. Rev. Wilson r. Lewis
of Sioux City, Iowa, took the leading
place in the poll, Rev. Edwin H.
Hughes. Of Green Castle, Ind. falling
back from the first to the fifth place
in consequence of the loss of eighty
nine votes. Presumably because Of
whispered questions and stories rela-
tive to the divorce incident in his life
more than a score of years ago, Rev.
Chas. L. Goodell, between the fourth and
seventh ballots. lost more than 200
votes, the history Of the long-burcd
incident being revived at time when
he could not defend himself.
Attitude to Labor.
| A report to the conference unant-.
mously adopted by the committee on
| the state of the church. embodies a
lengthy statement, setting forth the
attitude of the church to the laboring
! classes.
It declares for equal rights and
| privileges for all people in all stations
in life, for the abolition Of child labor,
for the suppression Of sweatshops.
for the highest wages employers can
| possibly pay, for the provision of
healthful environment and sanitary
/ arrangements wherever women are
employed, and for other things calcu-
i lated to improve the condition of peo-
pie who labor.
4 The committee on the episcopacy.
J will recommend the election of mis-

certain that Rev DR.. John w. Butler

. Rev. NJ, c. r. Mason's withdrawal
