OPPOSED JO POLITICS. The Tennessee If. E, Conference Suspends Bit. D. 0. Xelley .for Biz Months. EXCITING SCENE IN CONFERENCE Because of His Candidacy for Governor ,' on the Prolibition Ticket Sensa-tion- al Proceedings, Eto. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 16. Rev. D. C. Kelley, prohibition raudidate for governor, has boon suspended for six months by tho lennessee Methodist Episcopal conference, for leaving his post without permission from the con-ference. Rev. Mr. Kelly's case caused intense excitement in tho conference. From tho time the report of the special com-mit- t eo appointed to Investigate the case of l)r. Kollcy was presented to and acted upon by the conference this ex-citement continued, and tho proceed-ings wore, perhaps, the most sensational In the history of tho body. Bishop Hargrave, after explanatory remarks concerning the appointment of the comn.ilteo on investigation, stated that he would enter on the minutes a reply to tho protest of Dr. Kelley against his rulings. Dr. Kelley re-quested the presentation of tho report to the committee, and Rev. T. B. Fisher submitted it. Dr. Kelley took the floor In his own defense, saying that the question In volved the rights of all Methodist min-isters. The idea of a tealmical resig-nation of his pastorato had never en-tered his mind. He had resigned the salary, but had hold himself ready to 1111 any duty demanded by the bishop or presiding cider. His speeches for prohibition were but a portion of what he had done for years pant, and an In-dication, God willing, of what he would do iu years to conio. Dr. Kelley then proposed to discuss tho question of law. Bishop Hargrave interrupted him by saying the question had already been settled, Dr. Kelley replied that as tho bishop had discussed his case from the chair It became his (Kelloy's) right by every rule of law, justice, courtesy or civilization to be allowed to reply. He then proceeded to cite Instances in other conferences, when ho was called to order by Bishop Hargrave. Dr. Kelley a!d that If this was tiie law, a bishop had in his hands the character of every Methodist preacher. ttl.-hn- Hargrave again Interrupted Dr, Kelley, declaring him to be out of order. ConHider.ililo excitement en-sued. Dr. Kelley resumed his speech, but Bishop llurgravo ruled that ho could not discuss the effect of the law upon individual members. Dr. Kelley said the Hue proposed left him crippled at every point, He had nut refused to do any work, nor had he ceased to travel. THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. A Number of Iuiportaut Liquor Cases to Coin I'p, Washington, Oct. 10 The supreme court will reassemble on Monday. The coming term, it is expected, will be a busy one. A number of interesting cases will be pressed for a hearing. Notice has already been given that au effort will be made to impeach the. con-stitutionality of the New York electro-cution law on the ground that "it is cruel and unusual punishment." The Japanese Jugigo is the man in ; whose behalf this poiut will be raised. Another case which will attract at-tention will be an appeal brought here to secure the release of one of the Chi-cago anarchists, now in prison uuder a heavy seutuuee. The liquor laws of vnriousstates how-ever, will furnish the largest number of cases of general interest. The court will early be given an opportunity to reaffirm the doctrines laid down in tho original package decision. After tho court's decision in the Iowa case three dealers have boon arrested for opening "original package" houses m Kansas. They were arrested and convicted in a state court, and the question now to be decided is as to the legality of the order of one of tho United States judges de-claring their arrest contrary to law. From Vermont comes another case, uuder prohibition statutes, and other states, ttis thought, will contribute their quota towards swelling the list of this class of suits. CHIEF HENNESSY DEAD.

New Orleans, Oct. 16. Chief of Folice Hennessey died at 9 o'clock this i morning. The tragedy was ono which tho chief - and his most intimate friends had re-- t garded within the range of probability for some years, and for two or three years he had always been accompanied by somo trusty friend. On his way home last night he walked to the door of his residence and,, pausing a moment to draw the latchkey from his pocket, put it into the keyhole. It was while in this position, his side turned toward his assailants, that the ' first twohots were fired, the weapons being double-barrelle- d shot guns and one barrel of each being tired at a time. As quickly as the ambushed men could cock their guns ttie second barrels were fireii The chief drew his revolver and returned the lire, but the assassins es- - ' raped before the police arrived, but it is not known whether he hit any of them. IT IS THE FAULT OF THE CLIMATE. Sierra Leone not Bolted to Faith-C- ar Crank Missionaries. Washington, Oct. 16. The British minister has transmitted to the depart-ment of state a letter from the governor of Sierra Leone, enclosing a report flora Colonial Surgeon Ross at Free-town, regarding the case of the Ameri-can missionaries about whom various stories have been told. A party con-sisting of Mr. Kingman and wife. Miss Dick, and Messrs. Hilmick, Jaderquist. Codding, Tryce (colored), Gates and Harries arrived last February. They began at once to live in the native fash-ion, hoping thus to gain the confidence of the natives. In July Kingman in-formed Surgeon Ross that Gates and Harries had died. No doctor had been summoned because the whole party were strong believers in the faith cure. Dr. Ross, on investigation, found the deaths were caused by tropical fever, an extremely malignant disease. Mrs. Kingman he ' found to be in the last stages and she died despito his efforts to save her. He removed Tryce to the hospital where he eventually recovered. Kingman came down himself, but re-fused to receive medical aid until the fever threatened to isolate the house and send the rest of the party back to America on the ground that they were a danger to the community. Ho then consented to be treated, and recovered. Dr. Ross informed the remainder of these missionaries that another party of of missionaries is cxpectod. The Governor of Sierra Leone calls attention to the matter. As this cli-mate is not suited to those who trust alone to "faith healings" and ignore the means placed by Providence at their disposal for the rolief of suffering humanity, and as such they are a "dan-ger to the community. SALISBURYS TROUBLE. The British Prime Minister Anxious to Settle the Fisheries Dispute by Arbitration. . HE IS ALSO BULLYING POBTUGAL The British Foreign Office in a Pickle Begardinc; the Hew Hebrides Want to Sieze the Islands. London, Oct. 16. Lord Salisbury is anxious to arrange for arbitration- - of the fisheries dispute before the opening of parliameut. He has taken this sub-ject up as one of the first demanding his attention upon . his return from the continent. He is also engaged in bullying Portu-gal, and it is stated on good naval authority that Admiral Seymour will shortly proceed to Lisbon to make a demonstration that will bring the augry Portuguese to terms. The British foreign office is also in a pickle in relation to the New Hebrides, which the Australians are endeavoring to detach from the French. Australian settlers at Vila, in one of the islands, have discarded the French name of their settlement, formed a municipality on English lines and elected as thoir presi-dent a Swede named Peterson. Tho settlers are anxious that an official representative from Australia should take up his residence among them. A combination has been formed for annexation to Australia, and the French authorities are deliberating whether to suppress the movement by force or to be content with an appeal to Great Britian. The Germans. English and French all appear to be equally responsible for the cruel kidnaping of the native peo-ple of these and other Polynesian is-lands, which was the real cause of the recent massacre of the crew of the Upola, a German labor or kidnaping vessel.

A brisk gale sprung up on Monday. While passing Guernsey after mid-night we were apparently pursued by a revenue cutter, which, however, was unable to weather the gale, and aban-doned the chase. In the morning we were running free before the wind for Cherbourg, where we landed at H o'clock. We had reached our last day's supply of fresh water. All our arrangements worked perfectly, thanks to a prominent Dublin citizen "who su-perintended them, and we had unpar-alleled good luck." THE MISSION OF THE IRISHMEN.

JUSTICE MILLER'S SUCCESSOR-Attornojr sillier Mar " Nomi-nated to Fill ths Veeatirr. Washington. Oct. 16. There Is but littlo talk about tho sucrcor to Mr. Justice Miller. Action will bo deferred until congress meets. It I thought by some senators that tho preildent will nominate Attorney-Genera- l Miller for the vacancy. The impression is strong that the selection will bo made from one of the central states. That it would bo a graceful act to name Circuit Judge Gresham is generally udmltted, but no ono sco ns to think It will be flone. Tho president was inclined to send in Attorney-Genera- l Miller's name when Mr. Justice Matthew died, but after hearing from Senator not to do so. The Vermont scnator.n chairman of the Ju-diciary committee, took the ground that the attorney-genera- l was not well enough known to warrant the appoint-,men- t nt that time. Since then the atto-rney- general has grown on tho coun-try, the s"iiato and the court. It Is thought that Senator Edmund will interpose no objection to the continua-tion of Mr. Miller, should he bu nomi-nated. In all probability there will be several changes of the personnel of the supreme court within the next two or three years exclusive of ( tint which has come in the case of the lale Justice Miller, lie w the oldest member of that tribunal in service, although not In yesrs, Justice Field, another appointee of Mr. Lincoln, was made a mriiln;r of tho court a year later; and In 1K70 Jus-tice Bradley received thesnmo honor at the hands of President Grant. Field, like Miller, was born In 1816, and is consequently 74 year of age, while Bradley, their Junior in point of service, Is three year their senior in years. For four years past Miller and Field could have retired on full service for life under the law granting-- that privilege to judge of any of the United States courts on reaching the ago of 70 who have served ten year continually. The Mine prerogative could have been exercised by Jadge Bradley for seven year past. Two years hence the like right will be open to Justice Watch-ford- , who at that time will tie ten year a member of the court and 72 years of re. CONE TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
