R. Day, chancellor of the Syra- | cuse, N. Y., University, was the eighth | and last Bishop chosen. His election | was effected on the fourteenth ballot, the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth being ineffectual. On the twelfth ballot | Dr. R. J.

The complete list of new Bishops, chosen in the order named, is as fol- Jows: Joseph F. Berry, Chicago; Henry ¥. Spellmeyer, Newark, N. J.; William | F. McDowell, New York; James W.

Day, Syracuse, N. Y. With the exception of Bishops Berry, Burt and Neely the newly elected mem- | bers of the episcopal board are young men, ranging between the ages of 42 and 48 years. The conference to-day finally disposed of the question as to whether the Meth- | odist church would return to the rule| of limiting,the tenure of pastors by adopting the majority report of the committee on itinerancy. This report | recommends that no change be made in the rule adopted four years ago, which provides for an unlimited tenure. | A minority report from the committee was offered providing for a time limit of five years and giving the Bishops | certain discretionary powers in special cases, but it was overwhelmingly de- feated. COLORED WOMAN SPEAKS. One of the features of to-day’s ses- sion was the appearance of the, first colored woman who ever addressed a Methodist General Conference, Mrs. Emma T. Strickland of Little Rock, Ark., who made an eloquent plea for representation of the colored race upon the episcopal board. She presented res- olutions asking that the episcopacy committee be instructed to consider the advisability of the election of a negro Bishop. She was given respectful at-| tention and her resolution was referred | to the committee on episcopacy. | The conference then prdceeded to bal- lot for missionary Bishops. A ballot was first taken for an additional mis- | sionary Bishop for Africa, and another and separate one for two additional missionary Bishops for Southern Asia. | | The result of these ballots will be an- nounced next Monday morning. It is almost a foregone conclusion, in the Ioplnlol of well-posted delegates, that| the Rev. A. P. Camphor of Monrovia, | Liberia, will be chosen for Africa, and the Rev. W. F. Oldham of Chicago and | the Rev. J. E. Robinson, editor of the Indian Witness, Calcutta, India, will be the successful candidates for the two places in Southern Asia. The conference accepted an invita- tion to visit Long Beach in a body this afternoon, where they were entertained by the citizens of that city. — CHURCHES MAY UNITE. Methodist Protestants to Confer With Methodist Episcopalians. WASHINGTON, May 21.—At to-day’s session of the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, Rev. Dr. F. T. Little of Baltimore submitted | & proposition for a union between the | Methodist Protestant and the Metho- dist Episcopal churches. The Metho- dist Episcopal General Conference at Los Angeles recently referred this prop- osition to a committee. The same dis- position of the matter was made to- day by the Methodist Protestant con- ference. The committee will consider not only this proposition, but the pro- posed union between the Methodist Protestant denomination and the Con- gregationalists and United Brethren. ———— Californians in New York.

Dadway's FIREBOG TELLS OF HIS PLAN Man Who Says He Destroyed Redding Property Makes a Startling Confession BANK WAS IN DANGER Mysterious Individual Visits Courthouse and Explains Reason for a Conflagration Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, May 21.—The self-accused | firebug who burned the Terry Lumber | Company's yards in this city early yes- terday morning now occupies a cell. in the County Jail and is awaiting either | an examination for insanity or a com- plaint charging him with arson. i Paul Frederick Clifford, aged 40 years, | mounted the courthouse steps this morning at 8 o'clock, walked Into the Sherifl’s office, took off his cap and told Under Sheriff Behrens that he was the man who set fire to the Terry lumber yard. He wanted to be put in jall, and he was accommodated. He sald the reason he burned the lumber yard was to attract the police to the north end of town so that he could rob the Bank | of Northern California. Clifford says he arrived in Redding | Wednesday night from Portland. He had only $1 26 and needed money bad- ly. He was not particular about working, so decided to do a little work at burglary, which avocation he says | he has followed before with more or less success. Thursday Clifford spent in | a survey of Redding’s business center. | He examined several stores, both of the banks and some saloons. He finally de- cided that he could do more profitable businesp at the Bank of Northern Cali- fornia than anywhere elge. \ After deciding that the bank was the/ place for him to operate, Clifford set about to devise means of attracting the attention of the police to another part of town, and while studying over these plans he hit upon the scheme that finally resulted in the destruction of about $20,000 worth of the Terry Lum- ber Company’s property. After starting the fire, he says, he ran up the track, | fell in a ditch and lost his bag of tools. He could not find them, was crippled and decided to give himself up. The ———m—-—, SHARES AUBURN BUSINESS Reduction of Federal Official’'s Salary Not Indicative of Decrease in Recelipts. AUBURN, May 21..—Recent dispatches | regarding changes made in salaries of certain Government officlals in interior | towns of the State have occasioned considerable comment here. It was stated that the salary of the Postmas- | ter in Auburn had been reduced from $2000 to $1700. The explanation of this change is' found in the fact that about a year ago the department at Washington estab- lished a second postoffice within the city limits of Auburn to be known as' “East Auburn.” The result of this ac- tion is that the gross receipts of the | Auburn postoffice were decreased about | one-fourth, which, of course, compels the reduction of salary as stated. Doubtless a computation of the receipts of both offices would show a good, healthy increase in the volume of busi- ness in this city. During the year past cement sidewalks have been made, the sewer system extended, large improve- ments are in progress on the Court-| house square and many other evi-| dences have been given of thg con- tinued growth and increased vitality e U ST ASYLUM SUPERVISOR THROWN FROM WAGON State Official Suffers Severe Injury in an Accident on a Grade.

Gray, who was shot in the freight yard of the Northern Pa- cific Railroad last night about 8 o’clock. Samuel H. Rockwell, a car sealer, while in the freighthouse, heard a shot and, looking out, saw a man a hun- dred feet away from the building dragging the form of another man from under one of the freight cars. As he drew his victim from under the car | he swung a revolver in the air and! dealt the wounded man a blow on the head. A second later he dragged the body of the man over an adjacent track and fired a shot into the pros- trate form. Rockwell gave the alarm and a doz- en men rushed into the yards to head off the murderer. He fled up the track toward the Puyallup River, dodging the posse and officers and es- caped into the brush as night came on. The police are looking for Frank Pasquale, an Italian laborer. Pasquale owed Gray a small sum of money, over which there had been a slight dif- ficulty. Gray was removed to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he died without re- gaining consciousness. He had two bullets in the brain. He was a so- licitor working for the Fidelity Mu- tual Aid Society of San Francisco. Gray was a resident of Interbay, Wash., where his mother and sister reside. He was 27 years of age. It develops that Pasquale called at the insurance office yesterday and told Gray that if he would go with him he could get some insurance from some Italians. They left the California building, in which the office is located, toegther about 7 o’'clock last night. e GOVERNOR OF HAWAII IS ON HIS WAY HERE Sails From Honolulu on the Steamship Siberia to Attend the National Republican Convention.

SAN MATEO, May 2l.—After two days of delving and pan-washing in the ruins of his late home, which Was! destroyed by fire last Thursday, T. R.
