Peculiar Situation Anent DR.. Reisner

Denver-A dispatch from Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, where the New York
Methodist conference is in session
says that a novel situation has devel-
oped brought about by the application
of the Rev. Dr. Christian Reisner of
Denver, for admission into the confer
ence so that he may become pastor OF
Grace Methodist church. New York
city. The hitch came over the rule
that before a preacher can be trans
ferred into the district, one of equal
rank must be transferred out of it, a
rule which is supported heartily by the
ministers, as they say that it protects
their opportunities for good appoint
ment.
The question as to who shall be
transferred out of the conference in
order to let Dr. Reisner in was under
consideration Friday, and it devel-
oped that the conference has no man
to offer who will consent to go. 1t is
stated that Bishop Warren has made
up his mind to admit DR.. Reisner any
how, overriding the rule. if necessary.

STOREHOUSE BIDS
STILL EXCESSIVE
Further Modification of Plans of the
Proposed Arsenal Building
Necessary.

Today was the date set for the sec
ond opening of the bids on a new
concrete storage house at Rock Is
land arsenal. Only one bid was in
the hands of Commandant F. E.
Hobbs, 1T being from the firm of Will
liam P. McEvoy company of Chicago.
Congress has made an appropriation
of 100000 for the new store house,
but thus far none of the bids have
been close enough to that figure. The
bid opened today was $67,24O. When
bids were called for the first time,
the lowest figure was $4,000 and
ali of them were rejected after which
the plans were modified with the in
tention of lowering the bids. 1t
seems that they will either have to
be modified again or that congress
will have TO increase its appropria-
ton.
