Among the absentees are Moore In China, Hartwell in Africa, Warren in India and Vincent in Europe. At this conference the Bishops will be assigned as presiding officers of the annual conference next | week. Meetings of various auxiliary or- ganizations of the church will be held during the week. Owing to the death of Bishop Ninde of Detroit, several may change location, the selection being in the order of seniority. The biennial sessions are executive. The forenoon was occupied in’ receptions, greetings and opening addresses. The union of the Methodists, North and South, will be considered. The prelimin- ary steps looking toward this end have been taken in, Oklahoma Territory, where the North and South have united in build- ing a Methodist College, and this action will come up before the Board of Bishops for ratification, Bishop McCabe, who pro- poses thirty new Bishops for foreign fields, says: “The holy church has twenty-eight Bishops in China. We have only one for all Eastern China. We have only one Bishop In South Africa. Bishop Hurst will propose a general re- vival throughout the country. e Herr Schoenlank.

Arthur Spear is going to auction off the posgers, done by Mrs. Susan Loosely and Miss Lilly Tautphaus, and those fine bromide pictures of pretty nurses. The boxes and seats will be filled with hand- somely gowned women, a bevy of beauti- ful girls will form the reception commit- tee and another bevy of uniformed nurses will act as honorary ushers, dispensing also the handsome souvenir programmes, which have been carefully prepared. There should be, as a resuit, a hand- some fund for the much-needed reception and assembly room for the nurses of the hospital. R e . ] Peacemaker Is Slightly Wounded. William E.

MUST LEAVE KAISER'S REALM Prominent War Corre- spondent Ordered to Depart. Evasion of Military Service Declared to Be the Cause. BERLIN, Oct. 30.—Joseph Herrings, the well-known German-American war corre- spondent, who was present at the battle of the Yalu, has been expelled from Prus- sia, the ground alleged being evasion of military service a number of years ago. Referring to the expulsion of Herrings, an officlal of the Foreign Office said to- day that the order for his expulsion would undoubtedly be revoked as soen as Herrings takes the steps which he neg- lected to take. The evening papers print a plain state- ment from the police to the effect that Herrings' expulsion was ordered July 2, to take place within fourteen days after that aate. longation of the time, alleging that he re- quired medical treatment, and the police therefore suspended the order expelling him from Prussia until Octobr 17, when the. order was renewed, with fourteen days’ grace. The police lay emphasis on the fact that since then Herrings has not petitioned for a prolongation of the period -of the-order of expulsion. The Tagelitt interprets this remark as meaning that the police would not reject such a peti- tion. The “Vossiche Zeltung says that Her- rings’ case is not an exceptional one, since the Prussian Government treats alike all returning emigrants who have failed to serve in the army by emigrating as minors and then returning after acquiring a for- eign nationality to take up a permanent residence in Prussia. Some of the papers comment on Herrings' expulsion as being harsh, but the majority record the fact without commenting on it. It is ascer- tained that Herrings has left Berlin for Vienna. BATTLE FLAGS BECOME NATIONAL TREASURES Interesting Ceremony in the Presence of Veterans at the Hotel des Invalides. PARIS, Oct. 30.—There was a pie- turesque ceremony in the grand courtyard of the Hotel des Invalides to-day, consist- ing in the handing over of the flags of the regiments which formed the French ex- pedition to China and the colonial regi- ment which took part in the Madagascar campaign. A company of Zouaves, in gay Turkish costume, and companies of other line regiments were drawn up in the courtyard. Facing them were massed the veterans in quarters at the Hotel des In- valides. General Foure-Biguet, the Military Gov- ernor of Paris, surrounded by a brilliant staff, reviewed the men and afterward made a patriotic address. Three grizzled veterans then advanced and took posses- sion of the flags, which they reverently held when the troops marched past, salut- ing them. The flags were then placed among the military relics In the Hotel des Invalides. A STRIKES IN SPAIN WILL BE LEGALIZED Minister of the Intsrior Experiment- ing With a System to Prevent Disorder. MADRID, Oct. 30.—The Minister of the Interior, Senor Moret, proposes to regu- late strikes by legislation, and to that end has introduced a bill in the Cortes legaliz- ing ordinary strikes if from four to fif- teen days' notice is given to the authori- tles. Strikes stopping the works of an entire town or tending to produce a lack of the necessaries of Hfe will be iHegal, and the leaders in such strikes will be punished by imprisonment. Similar con- ditions will govern the employes’ coali- tions. Concessions for public works will hereafter stipulate that contracts must be made with the concessionare's work- men setting forth the hours of labor and wages. Disputes will be referred to the authorities and to arbitrators. An Energetic Princess. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 30.—That ener- getic woman and money-maker, the Princess Waldemar of Denmark (for- merly .Princess Marie of Orleans, eldest daughter of Duke Charles) :is now starting in business as a real estate speculator, having sold a plat of ground adjoining Copenhagen, and- having ob- tained sanction to divide it into lots to be sold to aristocratic persons.
