TUE GENERAL CONFERUNCE, Bpeeiat Dispatch to The Chicago ‘Tribune, Cincixnxart, O., May 6.—Tha season of the Conference this morning was presided ovor by Mshop Andrews. It ly no amall thing to hold the Ines on this body when tho sharp, quick poluts of debate often bring half-a- dozen clashing motions or earnest dsputants to the ear of the Conferenee, It was, how: ever, well dono to-day. Secretary Woodrutt Is very highly prized by the Conferenes. Hs quick ear, ready word, happy hit, and felleltons journallzing are Indeed of rare valite, So far na the business set for next Wednesday !3 concerned, it was wondrously stiplified by an oracular paragriph in the Gazette of this pince thls morning, ‘Chere it. was solomnly announce®s "Tho new Bishops will bu J. M. Walden, of this city; Dr. Cyrus D. Foss; President of the Wos- leyan University at Middletown; A. J. F. Iurst, © Prestdent of Drow Theologleal Seminary; and IL W. Warren, pastor of Arch Street Church, Philadelphia” Now, of course, this Is very newsy, especially as there seems to bu no doubt about it, Unfor- tunately, however, the delegates are not nearly so certain. A diligent inquiry shows thatall four of these gentlemen have thelr friends, who freely mention them, and the first and third especially, many of whom for one rengon. or mother think they lind best stay where they are, WERE THE VOTE TAKEN TO-DAY it 1s quite doubtful what would be the result, Wiuren, who, by the way, is not prstor of Avech Street, but of Spring Garden Chureh, and Foss, would probably be elected on the first batlot, but any other would be very doubtful. But he fsa brave man who wil risk his reputation on what the Issue will be next Wednesday, ‘Che canvass of men on thelr merits ty be F vessad, bub in a spirit of remarkuble loyally to God and the Chureh represented, ‘Tho same paragraph amounces that “Dr. Hiteheock will be reclected book- age!
