The entire morning hours were taken up in a tiresome discussion of the report of the committee on rules of or- der, which occupied part of yesterday’'s session. Only once did the delegates take notice with any degree of unanim- ity, and that was when the two great- est debaters of the body, Dr. J. M. Buckley of New York and Dr. T. B. Neely of Philadelphia, exchanged rhet- orical thrusts. It was all over the meth- od of constituting the judiciary com- mittee. Dr. Buckley wanted power glven to the Bishops to name five of the nineteen members of that important committee, which was In opposition to the recommendation of the rules com- mittee, as reported by Dr. Neely. The committee’s report on the section final- ly prevalled. Immediately after recess Joseph C. Hartzell, missionary Bishop to Africa, read his report to the conference. It was full of interesting detalls of his work in the “Dark Continent” and made strong. appeal for additional funds to prosecute his labors in the Christian- izing of the natives. Statistics showed a membership of 5000 in Africa. There are 114 schools, sald Bishop Hartzell, with 650 teachers and 5000 scholars. The total value of the Methodist church’s property in Africa is $320,000, an in- crease of $150,000 in the last quadren- nium. Bishop Hartzell paid an eloquent tribute to the character of the late Cecil Rhodes. “I once asked Mr. Rhodes,” said the Bishop, “what was his ambition. He replied: ‘My ambition is to do the greatest thing for barbarous humanity, and to give all my power to the uni- fication of the English-speaking world.” Dr. J. M. Buckley, chairman of the committee on episcopacy, made a par- tial report to the conference, which will come up for discussion to-morrow. The report relates to a passage in Bishop Merrill's request for retirement. The committee recommends that superan- nuated general superintendents be re- lieved of the obligation to travel at large, and may choose their own place of residence; that they shall not be as- | signed to an annual conference, but may take the chair at an annual or a general conference upon request of the president; that they be placed in ln' advisory relationship to the body of Bishops and become members of the different boards of which Bishops are ex-officio members. A committee was named to carry the greetings of the conference to the con- vention of locomotive engineers, now in session in this city, and the conference | cide is q”om for the day REBELS WIPE 0UT A COLONY Commit an Atrocious Massa- cre on the West Coast of British North Borneo VICTORIA, ' B. C., May 12.—Mis- sionary passengers by the liner Empress of India bring advices of an atrocious massacre on the west coast of British North Borneo. On March 31, at 10 o'clock at night, a band of 150 rebels from the interior, armed with guns, parangs, spears and blowpipes, swept downeupon the little colony at Kawang railway station, midway be- tween Jesselton and Papar. The band divided into two parts, one of a hun- dred remaining concealed as a reserve on the top of a hill, while the other rushed down upon the settlement, butchered the inmates of the Chinese smashed the telephone and killed the wife and child of the station master, the latter saving his life by hiding in the brush. The murderers then turned their at- tention to the coolies, killing and wounding right and left. The English rallway driver was among the victims, a speedy and terrible end coming to him and his wife. The carnage then became general, males, females and innocent babes being butchered. The houses and huts in Kampong were set on fire and when nothing was left but dead bodles and cruelly wounded peo- ple, ashes and desolation, the murder- ers went their way. The survivors, one native fireman, the station master and a few of the wounded coolies, ran down the line in the direction of Jesselton for their lives. By putting all steam on the construc- tion engine stationebd there, the ter- rible news was carried to Jesselton. The total number of killed was one hundred and thirty. No record is avail- able of the number of wounded. —_—————— ) Receive Their Diplomas.

SAN JOSE, May 12.—A masked man attempted to hold up the saloon of Tierny & Dalton on Santa Clara street, near Orchard, late last night. The stranger entered the place a short time before and asked for a drink of whisky, saying he was sick. He was ordered out of the saloon and left, only to return a few minutes later with a handkerchief tied over his mouth and nose. He went behind the bar and when within a foot of Albert Dalton drew a large revolver and pointed it at the saloon-keeper’'s head. Dalton put his hands on his hips and the fellow, believing Dalton intended to shoot, backed from behind the bar and ran into the street. Dalton noti- fled the police and Officer Guerin ar- rested a man who answered the de- scription of the would-be highway- man. The suspect is being detained by the police pending an investigation. e Hermann Sons Elect Officers. PETALUMA, May 12.—The conven- tion of Hermann Sons was concluded yesterday.

OFFICIALS OF VALLEJO SAID TO BE INELIGIBLE Point Is Raised That Several of Them Are Drawing Salaries From the. Federal Government. VALLEJO, May 12.—There is a strong probabllity of trouble for many officials of this city who also hold positions in the Mare Island navy yard. The charge was made before the last election that Mayor Roney, the successful candi- date. was ineligible because of a rule of the Navy Department that no em- ploye shall hold a salaried office in the civil government. Mayor Roney is now said to be in receipt of a letter from Congressman Metcalf to the ef- fect that the department has taken this view of the matter officially, It is likely that the Mayor and several other officials will be forced to give up either their offices or their positions at the yard. In the latter event the city would be put to the expense of an- other election. — e New Power Company Incorporates. SANTA CRUZ, May 12.—Articles of incorporation of the Watsonville Light and Power Company were filed to-day with the County Clerk. The stockholders are Fish M. Ray, Oak- land; Joseph C.
