Baltimore, May 15--There arei Indications
today that the general conference OF the

mittee having the matter in charge will
recommend that the total number of
bishops be ma6el ess than il has been
hitherto, but that there be no reduction
IN the foreign field. This does not mean
mat there will be no bishops elected for
service IN the United States, but simply
that the number elected will not be as
great as had been anticipated. Economy
is said 10 be the actuating idea.

BAD DOLLARS ARE PASSED
Secret Service Man Trying to Find
Who Is Circulating Spu-
rious Coin.

For the purpose of locating some person
responsible for the floating of a large
number of bogus dollars, a secret service
man has been in ogden for some time.
Many OF the counterfeit coins have made
their appearance here recently. A num-
Der were palmed off on street car con-
rants
The silver pieces are of the coinage of
1874 and bear an imitation stamp of the
san Francisco mint. The opinion is that
the counteTfeiting is that of experts and
that the only way the spurious coins may
be detected is by the rather deadened ring
which they give forth.
