Washington, July 29.-Rumors,
reported to have emanated from the

Bias of Prosecutors.

One of the motions made by the de-
fendants was that the prosecuting
committee be discharged on account
of bias and District Attorney Wilson
substituted therefor. Justice Wright
disposed of this motion by the addi
ton of the district attorney to the
committee, and he has accepted the
commission as an individual. 1t has
been stated in the public press that
the defendants are to be brought into
court Monday, July 81, and that the
committee in charge of the prosecution
will ask summary Judgment, or that a
motion will be made to strike out the
plea of mot guilty" and require an
answer under oath.

Justice Wright seems particularly
bent on Furnishing these men by i'm

of his apparent intent.

court is likely to go all the way.

Two conferences were held yesterday between Commissioner A. o. Lane and J. T. stokely of the Southern Bell Tele- phone company and the prevailing idea at the city hall is that an amicable agree ment will yet be reached relative to the rate increase. While no announcement has been made nor will there be any until the negotiations have been conclud- ed, yet it is said that the company made five concessions which appealed to Judge Lane with special emphasis. These con sessions were In respect to special rates.
 The conferences have been resumed after it was believed the two interests were wide apart but suggestions met with hearty approval that further con- ferences be held It is the most con servative Judgment at the city hall that the present negotiations will bring the impending war peacefully to an end.
 a Commissioner Lane and the Bell com pany both appreciate the undesirability of agitation at this time and while the missioner Lane to safeguard the city's interest. yet every effort will be exerted to effect a compromise.

 It was pointed out that the telephone service could be compared to a railroad company which sold a ticket good over ite entire system and that 1t was puerile to argue that such ticket would be worth no more when the system had grown from a hundred miles to a thous- and miles. It was claimed that such ticket would not only be worth more to the man, but the railroad would necessarily have to have a larger re- turn for its additional investment.
 It was further pointed out that if the company received its pay at specified rate for each message instead of at q specified rate for unlimited service it would be a different proposition, but that according to some of the argu- ments advanced the present rate for unlimited service should not be ad vanced no matter how much expense the company incurred in adding to the value of each subscribers telephone.

ATTENDANCE 0N
 CHURCH DECREASES
Reports to Methodist Con- ference Show Startling
 Facts

Toronto, October 5.-The principal dis
 cussion of todays session of the Ecu
 mencal Methodist conference. which dele. gates from all quarters of the world are
 attending, was the decrease in member ship of the church, which, it was re- veaed in the reports submitted. has taken place the world over during the last decade.
 The western section, comprising the
 United States, Canada and Japan, report ed during that period loss in net mem bership increase, while the eastern sec ton, covering Great Britain Ireland, France, South Africa Australia and the
 mission field, showed an actual loss in membership.
 In the western. section the increase in members in the decade ending 1891 was 1,2G1 ,2O9. while in the last decade it was only 437.562. This. according to H. K. Carroll of New York, secretary of that section was due to a decrease in earn
 estness.'
 In Great Britain, according to the Rev. Simpson Johnson of London. secretary
 of the Westminster Methodist confer
 ence, the various Methodist bodies gained | about 10000 members during the last 10 years, but in the last half of the decade there was a notable decrease, attributa- ble he thought, to conditions outside 1 the church and a weakening of forces to | meet changed social ends
 l Bishop Hendricks of the Methodist ! Episcopal church, south in discussing the | Religious Problem of the Negro" and ! the maintenance of q pure home in the
 midst of adverse conditions, took occasion | to refer to the recent Beattie murder I trial.
 Thank God, there is a place where ! women spectators do not attend such
 a trial,' he said. Thank God for a jury which sought divine guidance in reach | ing a verdict, and which has since re- | fused to recommend a communication from | the death sentence"
 | The Rev. S. Ogata of the Japan Metho- | dist church. who reported remarkable | progress in his country since the merg- | ing of the three Methodist churches, said nothing was more perplexing to the ordi- l nary Japanese mind that there are So
 many religious denominations and su
 many different Methodist churches. He
 believed Christianty's strongest appeal | eventually, would be found in one church l Reporting on Australian Methodism, the
 Rev w. Williams of Australia said every l tenth person in Australia Is Methodist and that the present union is seeking
 amalgamation with the Presbyterian and
