West Side Square, Gainesville
Washington, Oct. 19.—The elev-
enth day's session of the ecumeni-
cal Methodist council opened
with Mr. William Marder of
W ealeyan Reform Union, England,
in the chair. Oommittee made
report on the subject of a week
of prayer. It was recommended
that the week beginning Novem-
ber 15 be set aside for a meeting
of the senior bishop and presi-
dents of the conferences repre-
sented in the council to sign a
call to ail Methodists. Tbe report
was adopted after the statement
by King that the eastern delega-
tion bad taken such action.
Through Mr. McLaren the com
mittee on Methodist statistics
made a report, which, in substance,
states that returns had been ob-
tained from all the churohes rep-
resented in the conference, and
tabulated, first geographically and
second ecclesiastically. The term
adherents included in every case
ministers and members, as well as
families, connected with the con-
gregations. In some cases esti-
mates were made, but in no case
do they exceed the measures
given in the government census,
in some cases they are below.
While no official statistics were
adopted by the London confer-
ence, the figures show that since
the conference there has been an
increase of 30 per oent in Metho-
dist believers. Some of the de-
tails of the report were read by
Rev. Dr. Morley, as follows:
Eastern section—Europe—Min-
isters, 4481; members, 915,284; »d
herents, 4,209,601.
▲sis—Ministers, 538; members,
31,234; adherents, 114,959.
Africa—Ministers, 294; mem-
bers, 71,147; adherents, 283,370.
Australia and Polynesia—Min-
isters, 786; members, 93,140; a Ihe-
rents, 488,183.
Totals for eastern section—
Ministers, 6094; members, 113,905;
adherents, 5,096,128.
Western section—Ministers,36,-
601; members,1,380,49s; adherents,
20,281,976.
Grand totals—Ministers, 42,695;
members, 6,6494,399; adherents,
20,281,296.
americans shot.
8an Antonio, Oct. 19.—A letter
from Rio Grande City on the Tex
as frontier says:
Last Sunday morning on tbe
Mexican side three men were shot
by the government forces nnder
General Garcia.
Two of the men were cowboys
who have been working near Vic-
toria, Tex., and incautiously
crossed the river without a per-
mit from the Mexican consul on
this side.
The other, Joan Bascan, an
army contractor, had been sus-
pected of revolutionary senti-
ments.
The shots which ushered them
into another world, and tie cries
of their wives and children who
surrounded them, were plainlj
ieard on this side of the Rio
Grande. It was General Garcia
who ordered their execution
Many families, terror stricken,
have fled with all haste to this
side.
that his resignation is not to be
announced until after the election
and that it is to take effect No-
vember 30.
This indicates an abandonment
by the commissioner of his recent
determination to hold on to office
until after an investigation-of his
administration by congress. There
is great probability that his de
oision has been modified in obe
dienoe to the urgent request of
the secretary of the interior.
President Harrison could not be
elected, even in order to make
Ranm comfortable, to permit him
to annoy his superior officer for a
whole month longer simply to en-
able him to be in a position to
more effectually bother him when
the office cam) to be investi-
gated.
pursued a neutral course.
Washington, Oct 19.—The re-
port from London that the United
States naval squadron in Chilian
waters displayed enmity to the
congressional navy during the
recent civil war in that country is
wholly discredited at the navy de-
partment. One officer of high
rank said he had positive infor-
mation that while Admiral Brown,
who commanded the squadron,
was compelled to pursue a neutral
course during the struggle, his
personal sympathies and convio-
tions were altogether with the
congressionalists.
artificial bain.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 19.—A. B.
Montgomery of Goodland, Steph-
ens county, Kansas, where Mel-
bourne made his rain making ex*
periments, this afternoon filed
with tbe secretary of state tbe
charter of the Artificial rain pro-
ducing company. As directors of
the oompany there are named six
St ephens oounty men. The capi
tal of the company is plaoed at
$100,000, and the object of the
compauy as stated is to furnish
water to the public by producing
and increasing tbe fall of rain by
the Melbourne plan. Melbourne
will do the rain produoing and
the company has contracted to
pay ten cents per acre for all the
land watered by him during next
summer's season.
