Elected Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Ohio were elected bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church upon the second ballot taken at
the afternoon session of the General conference

nounced at the beginning of to-days meeting.
II is expected that DR.. Nuelsen will receive an
Episcopal residence in Berlin, with charge OF the
Teutonic races in Europe. and that Bishop William
Burt will hereafter conf1ne his abOrs to the Latin
races. This expectation will probably not be az
fected by the fact that to-day a German delegate
laid before the conference resolution asking Tor
Bishop Burts return to his station in Switzerland
