Names of Men Likely to ho Elected
nt General Conference.
It now seems certain that tho
question of districting bishops will
get Into tho Methodist General Con
ference at Minneapolis in May.
'Nevertheless bishops will bo elected
this year undor tho old plan. How
many now ones may bo chosen no
ono can tell, but thero 'being many
vacancies it Is stated the number
will bo as great, perhaps, as at any
Methodist conference over hold.
Some say tho number may reach ten,
even if no change bo made in their
jurisdiction. Constitutional altera
tions require two General Confer
ences, and at least six now bishops you
will do cnoson ror woric during me
coming four years under tho old
plan.
Tho Rev. Dr. 'David G. Downey, cor
responding secretary of the Board of
Sunday Schools; tho Rov. Dr. Homer
C. Stuntz, corresponding secretary of
tho Foreign Mission Board; tho Rev.
Dr. F. J. Mc'Connell, president of tho
De 'Pauw University, formerly ol
Brooklyn, and the Rov. Dr. 'R. J.
Cooke, official book editor, seem ly
general consent to bo four of tho
six, or possibly eight, now bishops
who will bo chosen. iPerhaps there
is loss certainty folt that tho 'Rev.
Dr. Cooko will bo among tho elected
men than of the other three.
There are, however, a great num
ber of other names before the church
at this time. These Include the Rev.
Dr. J. B. Hincley, corresponding sec
retary of the Board of Conference
Claimants; the Rev. Dr. illerbert
Wolch of Ohio Weslayan University,
formerly of Brooklyn; tho Rev. Dr.
E. P. Robertson of North Dakota
Wesleyan University; tho Rev. Dr.
W. O. Sheppard of Chicago; the Rev.
Dr. Charles B. Mitchell, Chicago; the
Rov. Dr. Naphtall Luccock, of Minne
apolis; thelRov. 'Dr. Matthew Hughes
of Los Angeles, and the Rev. Dr. H.
C. Jennings of 'Cincinnati.
Dr. 'Downer, one nrobablo new
Methodist bishop, is an Irishman by
"birth, a Wesleyan University man by
education, and has been in tiunuay
school work since the last General
Conference four years ago. Dr. Mc-
Connoll is a graduate of Ohio wes
leyan and has been president of De
Pauw University for three years. Ho
Is onlv a little oast 40 years of ago
Tho Rev. Dr. Stuntz is a Pennsylva
nia man by birth, and when distinc
tion as a missionary, first in India
and then in tho Philippines. Hie was
among the first to plant Methodism
in Manila and give It the command
ing local position Is now holds there.
The Rev. Dr. Cooko Is a Now Yorker
but has spent much of his life In
Tennessee and tho Southwest. A
man of larger personal acquaintance
among Methodists North and South
It would be difficult to find.
Operators Look Vor Speedy Settle-!
incut.
Now York, April 3. Anthracite
coal oporators bcliovo that tho sus
pension of work In tho hard coal ro
glon which went into effect tho first
of this weok, will not continue long,
nnd thnt tho coming meeting of the
operators' committee and representa
tives of the minors on April 10, in
Philadelphia, will result in a basis
of Bcttclmont. This bellof is
strengthened, tho oporators say, by
tho fact that thoro have been no
traces of bitterness shown on cither
side, nnd that this makos n satisfac
tory adjustment of differences much
easier.
Just what proposition tho minors
will submit to the operators at the
coming Philadelphia conference as a
basis of discussion has not boon
learned, but tho operators think the
two points of chiof lssuo will bo tho
kiuestlons of Increased wages and
recognition of tho union. Most of
tho operators aro in favor of grant
ing an Increase in wages, while ono
railroad company Is said to oppose
a higher increase, claiming that It
would wipe out its margin of profit.
Tho operators say that tho nues
tion of recognition of tho union was
settled for all time by tho award of
the anthracite commission several
years ago.
'It Is reported here to-day that sev
eral Indopondont companies had
made special arrangements with
their men to contlnuo mining and
that this coal would bo sold to con
sumers at an increased cost.
