lion quadrennially. Now the l» :ml of
bishops determines of item! no l‘n m wing

bishop shall preside. This measure, which
has been debated in several general conic -
ences, giveau certain section to each bishop
for four years and virtually establishes
Episcopal districts in the church.
The question of the candidacy for bishopa
is gradually resolving itself into shape for
action by conference, and the friends of the
various candidates for the cilice are busy in
their adorn to unite the following for their
choice. It is not expected that the matter
willcomebefore the conferencebefore the
middle of the month.
The prevailing opinion now is that not
more than six new bishops will be decided on,
and the latest intimation is that the board of
bishops will suggest the election of only three
new bishops. The conference will at iieoli
determine the number, and it is not. restricted
to the number suggested by the bidiops. An
opinion expremd by some of those heat in-
formed yesterday was that the conference
would not agree to elect more than four, with
a bare possibility at a fifth.
