Important Questions to Be Discussed— The Trouble in Trinity Parish— Dr. Naylor’s Position. The logal Methodist Episcopal cauldron has’ begun to boil most vigorously, and when the Baltimore conference meets in Baltimore in a little over four weeks from now, it will be about bubbling over, unless present indications fail. This is the case jawith Methodism all over the country, for the reason that the quadrennial confer- ence of the M. E. Church in the United States is to meet at Cleveland, Ohio, on the first Wednesday in this coming May, and continue in session for some time. The conference in which Washington is situ- ated is to meet in Baltimore the 11th of March, and i will be of more than the usual importance from the fact that some of the best charges in the conference, both in Washington and Baltimore, are to be filled, and also because the great questions agitating the whole Methodist church will be foreshadowed in this conference by the debates which will take place on a series of resolutions presented at the last confer- ence. It is expected that this conference will be the most important one the church in this section of the country has witness- ed in a number of years. The changes here to be made by the ex- Piration of the five-year limit are those at Hamline, Rev. Elbert S. Todd, D. D., pas- tor; McKendiee, Rev. L. T. Widerman, D. D., pastor, and Gorsuch, Rev. J. H. M. Lemon, pastor. In Baltimore there are three of the largest churches, namely, Grace, Rev. Dr. Richard Harcourt, pastor; Strawbridge and Broadway. It is the gea- eral plan, usually, to interchange, so far as possible, between the two cities, but this generally meets with opposition from the congregations, and it is the custom of the larger churches to ask for men from other conferences. This is understood to be the case in Hamline of this city and Grace of Baltimore. The latter has asked for the services of a minister now in charge of a Prominent church in New York city, and so that shuts cut a very nice plum for some of the local pastors. Where Rev. Dr. Todd is to go is thought to be definitely set- tled. The congregation of Strawbridge Church has asked for his services, but there may be some hitch at the last min- ute, as the appointing power is vested in the bishop who presides at the conference. The church, however, who takes Dr. Todd does it with the knowledge that they will have to dispense with his services until he re- turns from his tour, and as the church mentioned js willing to do this, it is likely that they will get him. As to Hamline, which Dr. Todd lzaves, the congregation do not know who they want as yet, and everything is uncertain. It is asserted, however, that they will ask for a minister outside the conference, and that they do not want any former pastor. This latter wouid shut out Dr. Naylor, who was ru- mored to be selected for the position. There is some talk that Hamline will put in an application for Rev. Dr. J. B. Hamilton, the financial agent of Syracuse University, one of the largest Methodist educational in- stitutions in the country.

During the evening the company was en- tertained by the rendition of several choice vocal selections by Messrs, Perry B. Tur- pin and George Terry, with Mr. Arthur Mayo as accompanist. Especially good was the rendition of “The Star Spangled Ban- ner,” in which the entire company joined in the chorus.

The operetta is a musi- cal recital of the merry-making of a com- pany. of young peoplé at 4 woodland picnic. ¢ is replete with bright, catchy music, witty dialogue and”'pictbresque tableaux. The children sang y ‘well and showed evidence of careful and éffective training.

Though the Naylor question is not ex- pected to become important, there is suffi- cient opportunity to allow it to do so. A Washington congregation, McKendree, adopted resolutions at its fourth quarterly conference last week, asking for him as their pastor. The delegates to the con- ference were instructed to make a strong effort to get Dr. Naylor. Now, if those who are opposed to the doctor put them- selves in active opposition against him or against this wish of McKendree’s there is chance for trouble. McKendree, however, bas something in reserve, and if she don’t get the ex-presiding elder she could hardly be refused her second choice. This is stated to be the Rev. David Shields, now of Martinsburg, W. Va., but who is of the Baltimore conference. Rev. Mr. Shields is a young man, but has already made his mark asa preacher, and more especially as a pulpit orator. The other pulpit made vacant by the time limit of five years is that of Gorsuch, of which the Rev. J. H. L, Lemon is the present pastor. Trinity Troubles. Though there are only three churches who will have their present pastors taken away from them by operation of church law, there is one that may be so deprived ‘by the operation or efforts of some mem- bers of the congregation. This is Trinity, located on 4th street southeast, and a very desirable place in every way. The present preacher in charge of Trinity is Rev. Mar- tin F. B. Rice, D. D., but who has only served three of the five years allowable. The trouble in Dr. Rice’s congregation, so one of the members puts !t, dates back about two years, when the project of build- ing a new church was started. The church at that time had just sold for a cash con- sideration a valuable piece of ground, which it owned, and with this purchased two lots at 5th and C streets southeast. Business matters connected with the pro- pesed erection of a new church here de- veloped a spirit of unfriendliness, andgt ene time the rupture threatened serious difficulties. Dr. Rice has, however, suc- ceeded in smoothing matters over some- what, but not entirely. His quarterly con- |. ference neglected to call him, because, as the same gentleman referred to says, his friends were in the minority. What the ecnference did do was to select a commit- tee of three to go over to conference and look after the interests of the church, but as the three gentlemen appointed are un- derstood to be unfavorable to Dr. Rice this may mean that the doctor will not be returned without an effort. In any case, efforts are being made looking to the pre- vention of any trouble at the conference, and both parties are acting toward each ether in a spirit of unfriendliness. Bacon Resolutions. Cutside of the changes of pastorates, the conference will attend to a number of other matters, but by far the most important will be the consideration of the “Bacon resolutions,” as they are called. The Bal- timore conference hes, of course, no power to incorporate any such amendments in the constitution, except so far as their dele- gates to the quadrennial conference, se- lected with reference to their views on the subject, may individually effect. The Bacon resolutions arc being Giscussed under different names, but in substantially the same forms, in a large number of confer- ences thrcughout the ccvntry. The Metho- dist press has also taken a hand in the controversies, and a widespread dehate is taking place. The author of the Bacon resolutions is Rev. Geo. C. Bacon of Ha- gerstown, Md., and are as follows: “First. Resolved, That we favor the admission of laymen to the annual conference in such proportion as shall hereafter be deter- mined; second, that we favor the election of presiding elders by the annval confer- ence, and, third, that we favor giving co- ordinate power to the presiding elders in the cabinet.” Rev. Mr. Bacon is out in a pamphlet on the subject, in which he re- views the history of Methodism and “its struggles in church polity, and winds up by giving a number of arguments why his resolutions should be adoy¥ed into the minutes of the conference. Presiding el- ders, under their pr, it etatus, are ap- pointed by the bishop who presides at the conference, and are not allowed to serve for more than six years consecutively, but uust be appointed from year to year. Ministers are also selected by the bishop in this manner, except that they can only serve for five years, and the presiding elders have also a hand in their appoint- ment through his power of recommenda- tion. The ministers are of course divided into two sides on this subject, that of op- position and defense, but also into those who have such charges at present as gives them a wish to stay permanently, and those that think the unknown ministers, or father those not so well known, should dave an eqval chance with the rest. This latter has been the theory of the Methodist Church since its in lon, but as one min- ister said t 3 le theory has been outgrown, and it is time to do away with ging & man as soon as he gets fairly to work.” Some are also in favor of cur- teiling some of the large powers now held by the bishops. They contend that the bishops, having the appointment of min- isters and the final selection of presiding elders, are too much like autocrats, and that therefore the episcopacy should be re- modeled to suit, so they contend, the re- publican spirit of Methodism. ‘Women as Delegates. In additicn to these questions there wiil come up at the quadrennial conference,that of admission of w. men as delegates, or as an official factor in church politics. The debate on the other subject is likely to be warm and heated, but that about the ladies seems ¢o have a large majority in its favor. The consersus of opinion among the local pastors is that they will be given official recognition in some form or other. Into the discussions on the bishopric is projected the fact that at this conference there are to be four bishops appointed, the previous one held four years ago hav- ing not had that pleasure, so that those to be elected in May will be the first ones in eight years. Washington, it is thought, has no candidates who are available or likely to be selected. In the Baltimore conference delegates will be elected to represent the conferenc) as a whole, but in this selection Washington is generally recognized by having one of her own pastors selected as one of them. oe INVENTORS IN SESSION. Transactions of the American Asso- ciation at Its Meeting. The American Association of Inventors and Manufacturers elected the following officers last evening: President, Dr. R. J. Gatling, Hartford, Conn.: first vice presi- dent, Gardiner G. Hubbard, Washington, D. C.; second vice president, J. C. Ander- son, Chicago, Ill; third vice president, B. H. Warner, Washington, D. C.; fourth vice president, Lemuei W. Serrell, New York city; secretary and treasurer, George C. Maynard, Washington, D. C.; members of executive council, C. E. Billings, Hartford, Conn.; A. S. Bushnell, Springfield, Ohio; Robert 8. Taylor, Fort Wayne, Ind.; F. A. Pratt, Hartford, Conn.; R. S. Munger, Birmingham, Ala.; Albert A. Pope, Boston, Mass.; Arthur Steuart, Baltimore, Md.; Marvin C. Stone, Washington, D. C.; F. H. Richards. The annual address by Presiden: Gatling and the address by Join S. Seymour, com- missioner of patents, were listened to with great interest. Mr. Seymour said there were 562,000 American and 959,000 foreign patents on file in the ofticc, and there should be a system of classification that will cnable an examiner to feel reasonably certain he has all the printed matter on a particular case at command. The commissioner referred to the bill in- troduced into the House providing for a proper classification of the patents on file at @ cost of about 36,500 a year, and added that it was moeting with opposition from certain members. He called attention to the fact that the receipts of the patent office were always largely in excess of the appropriations it received. Last year the receipts were $160,000 above the expendi- tures, and sometimes this excess had amounted to $300,000. The association indorsed the bill referred to by special vote. There was a general ‘scussion of the patent laws, and a great many questions of detail were taken vp and considered. WELLINGTON NOMINATED. Republican Choice for United States Senator From Maryland. The republican caucus of the Maryland legislature last night at Annapolis nomi- nated Representative George L. Welling- ton for United States Senator to succeed Charles H. Gibson. Just before the caucus the candidates from the eastern shore, except Goldsborough, withdrew in his favor. This, however, did not prevent some of the friends of Westcott and Dixon from voting for them in caucus. The roll call showed eleven senators and sixty-seven members of the house present, seventy-eight in all. The absentees were Senator Dobler and Delegates Bankard and Schilling, all of Baltimore city. Speaker Mudd introduced a_ resolution which bound all those participating in the caucus to support the nominee, regardless of the section from which he might come. This provoked considerable discussion, many of the members declaring they had a conscientious objection against disre- garding the eastern shore law, and felt bound by their oaths of office to support it. The resolution was subsequently with- drawn. > The voting then proceeded amid consid- erable excitement. Speaker Mudd and Sen- ator Day had some sharp words, but noth- ing followed. At the conclusion of the voting Mr. Wel: lington had 40 votes, a majority of the cau- cus, and was therefore the caucus nomi- nee. Mr. Goldsborough had 31, Mr. West- cott 5 and Mr. Dixon 2. The vote in detail was: Wellington—Senators Ravenscroft, Sloan, Strobridge and Wilkinson. Delegates Mudd, Chesley, Krems, Jones of Anne Arundel, Norman, Whittaker, De- hoff, Householder, Holmes, Pyles, Schooley, Miller, Rouzer, Crum, jr., Wood, Ford, Ji netzke, Cunningham, Burns, Padgett, Ma- son, jr., Applegarth, Huggins, Tolson, War- renberger, Nash, Koontz, Cook, Lamar, Dick, Ohr, Robertson, Porter, Campbell, Hilleary and Otto—40. Goldsborough—Senators Dryden, Emory, Norwood, Randall, Scott and Westcott. Delegates Cheston, jr., Cole, Wilhelm, Herman, Barber, Dodson, Hall, Carew, Cox, Wingate, Hopkins, Bradley, Smith of Cecil, Logan, White, Markell, Abercrombie, Bye, Harnish, Smith of Carroll, Gauter, Cover, Birnie, Black—81. Westcott—Jones of St. Mary’s, Baker, Byrd, Kaufman and Pindeli—5. Dixon—Pennington and Putzel. A number of votes were promptly changed. Senator Dryden made a vigorous speech, at the conclusion of which he was — with vertigo and carried to a sofa. The final vote was: Wellington, 60; Golds- borough, 18. Senator Westcott moved that the nomi- nation be made unanimous, and it was dore. The caucus adjourned at 10:45, subject to the call of the chairman or a majority of its members, George L. Wellington was born in Cum- berland, Md., January 28, 1852, so that in a week's time he will reach his forty-fourth year. Mr. Wellington began life as a clerk in a canal store in Allegany county at the age of twelve years. With the exception of two years he was the treasurer of Allegany county from 1884 until 1890. He was the republican candi+ date for controller of the treasury of Mary- land in 1889, when he was defeated by L. Victor Baughman. In July, 1890, he was appointed subtreasurer at Baltimore by President Harrison. He ran for Congress in 1892, and was de- feated by Gen. Wm. M. McKaig. He was elected to Congress in 1894. His term will expire March 3, 1897, just at the time his term as Senator will begin. —__+o+-___ Dr. Wolhaupter’s Death. The death early yesterlay morning of Dr. William Edmund Wolhaupter was the untimely ending of a promising career, lie was born in this city twenty-seven years ago, and was the oldest of the two sons of Dr. and Mrs. David P. Wolhaupter. Tak- ing high honors in the schools of the city, he chose as his profession that of medi- cine. Preparatory to this he entered and was graduated from the National College of Pharmacy, in this city, being elected the valedictorian of his class. He then en- tered the Georgetown Medical College, and was graduated therefrom. Coincident with this was an experience of hospital training and service, besides valuable opportunities of constant assistance to iis father. Thus equipped he, three years ago, entered for himself upon the practice of mediciae. But to his dismay he found himself the victim of Bright’s disease of the kidneys. In order to effect a cure, if possible, he was persuad- ed to give up his practice and take place as surgeon and medical otficer in connec- tion with the vessels and stations of the fish commission. Exposure in the open, on sea and shore, the diet of sea food, the ac- tive life involved in his official tasks, as well as his added special studies and ex- periments in propagation of food fishes, the filling of every moment with purpose and pian, served to prolong his life. Until the end came he maintained a cheery, brave exterior, and only those close to him knew him to be stricken with a fatal disease. The parents in their hour of bereavement have the sympathy of a large circle of de- voted friends. —_———_. Hope and Help Mission.

Motions in the Case of Mr. Elverton R. Chapma Messrs. Geo. F. Edmunds, Shellabarger and Wilson and A. J. Dittenhoefer, counsel for Mr. Elverton R. Chapman, convicted Saturday last of refusing to answer certain questions asked him by the Senate sugar trust Investigating committee, today filed a motion for a new trial, and also one in arrest of judgment. In support of the motion for a new trial fifteen different reasons are given, and in support of that in arrest of judgment nine reasons are cited. In substance, the grounds on which the two motions are based are that the verdict is contrary to the evidence in the case, against the weight of evidence, not sustained by the eviden and contrary to law. The rulings of th court during the trial are also assignel as grounds for the two motions, an affirmative answer by the court to an inquiry of the jury, just previous to the rendition of their verdict, being particularly objected to. Thi inquiry of the jury was es follows: “4 the admission by the defendant that 1! questions, as set forth in the indictmen were substantially the same, equivalent to an admission by him that they were the same, and can the jury act upon that hy: pothesis?” Stress is laid upon the ruling of the court that it not necessary for the prosecu« tion to show that Mr. Chapman willfully refused to answer the questions, and ele@ upon the refusal of the court to allow Lim to show that he acted in perfect good faith in refusing to answer. Judge Cole may hear argumenis on the motions Saturday next. 0. P. Morton Post. The public installation of the officers of ©: P.
