the welcome of the city churches and

growing friendship between the various
bodies of Protestantism and his re-
marks were punctuated by frequent

In a few felicitous words the bishop
responded on behalf of the conference

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 30.—The scene
of the governor’s conference shifted
from Frankfort to Louisville this
morning, when a special brought the
governors, their wives and daughters
here. It was a big task for Frankfort
to properly entertain so many distin-
guished guests, but all of the party
arriving this morning say the quaint
Kentucky capital lived up to the tra-
ditions of Kentucky’s reputation for
hospitality. As this state has furnish-
ed 105 governors and two presidents,
Kentuckians are proud of the honor
of welcoming the first governors’ con-
ference to be held away from Wash-
ington. The states’ list of chief execu-
tives is soon to be enlarged to 106,
Gov. Elect Cruce of Oklahoma being a
Kentuckian.
Today the governors settled down to
the work for which they meet—dis-
cussing the issues that now confront
many states. The morning session was
given over to short talks on the re-
sponsibilities of a governor, appoint-
ment of his cabinet, power of removal
and like subjects. The delegation em-
bodied matters pertaining alone to
states, but beginning with the opening
session tomorrow the subjects will be
of national scope.
Among these subjects are conserva-
tion of national resources and human
life, the income tax, direct primaries,
popular elections of United States sen-
ators and the corrupt practices act.
The idea that these conferences will
be of great benefit to the nation is ex-
pressed by most of the governors pres-
ent. This one, more than others, be-
cause several of those here have just

Macao. Island of Macao, China, Nov.
30,—The Portuguese troops of the local
garrison and the crew of the Portu-
guese gunboat Patria revolted last
night and .taking possession of the
city, proceeded to enforce certain
changes In the administration of the
aff&irs of this dependency of Portugal.
The rebels continued in control to-
day. the governor and military officers
powerless.
The revolt began, with the landing of
the sailors of the Patria, who marched
to the public square, where they fired
three volleys as a signal to the troops
who at once forced an entrance to the
armory and, arming themselves, joined
the seamen.
Several hundred strong the rebels
proceeded to Santa Clara convent, from
which they drove the nuns, ordering
them to leave the island. The nuns
fled to Hong Kong.
From the convent the rebels marched
to government house, before which
they mounted a cannon. An interview
with the governor was requested and
when the officers at government house
intervened they were silenced at the
point of the bayonet.
The governor was compelled to hear
the demands, which were the expulsion
of the religious orders, increased pay
for the army and navy, the suppression
of the newspaper Vida Nova and the
righting of alleged wrongs suffered by
the soldiers and sailors.
Under threat the government granted
every demand.
FLEEING FAST TO HONG KONG.
British and Other Residents Quit Is-
land of Macao.
By Associated Press.
Hong Kong, Nov. 30.—The Portu-
guese garrison and naval forces at
Macao have revolted, demanding the
expulsion of the nuns and an increase
of pay. The government house was
threatened, a gun being trained upon
it. There is extense anxiety here and
foreign consuls are making urgent in-
quiries regarding the security of the
citizens of their countries and their
property in Macao.
The Chinese viceroy has been warn-
ed to have troops in readiness for ac-
tion.
The British authorities had not sent
a gunboat to the scene today. British
citizens of Macao are arriving here.
Macao was settled by Portuguese
merchants in the latter part of the
sixteenth century and long was a flour-
ishing point. The city was subsequent-
ly ceded to Portugal by China.
Gradually the Portuguese extended
their rule over the whole island of-
Macao. China objected to this exten-
sion of territory and, insisting that the
only consession ever made to Portugal
was limited to the city of Macao, has
frequently clashed with the Lisbon
government over their respective terri-
torial rights. Continued diplomatic
negotiations have failed to definitely
adjust the matter.
The city is now divided into two
wards, one inhabited by Chinese and
the other mostly by Portuguese, each
having its own administration. When
the Portuguese monarchy was over-
thrown, the Portuguese of Macao peti-
tioned the provisional government of
Lisbon to permit the religious orders
to remain undisturbed on the island.
Later advices from Macao state for-
eigners there are safe. The Chinese
shops are closed. The nuns and chil-
dren of foreigners are coming to Hong
Kong.
It is stated the governor, after be-
ing forced to comply with the demands
of the rebels, resigned.

born in Pickensville, Ala.,
which makes him a man in the very
prime of life and vigor.. He received
his preparatory education in the com-
mon schools of his native state and
then spent five years as a student in
Southern University, Greensboro, Ala.,
from which institution he graduated
with honor.
He was converted when ’ a small
child at Summerfield in his native state
and was licensed to preach in 1874 at
Greensboro and the same year he
joined the North Mississippi confer-
ence. For 11 years he acted in the
capacity of pastor, being sent to va-
rious places, after which he was elect-
ed to the vice presidency of' Whitworth
college at Brookhaven, Miss., which
position he ably filled until 1882, when
he was called to the presidency of
Milsaps college at Jackson, Miss., in
which capacity he labored until he was
elected a bishop.
He was married in 1881 to
Buelah Fitzhugh. He has been a mem-
her of every general conference since
1886 ond was a member of the ecu-
menical conference of Washington and
London in 1891 and was the fraternal
delegate of his church to the Metho-
dist church of Canada in 1902.
Besides his degree of A. M., which
he received at his graduation, he has
had conferred on him the honorary de-
grees of D. D. and LL. D. The ripe
scholarship and wide experience of
Murrah eminently qualifies him for
the high position to which he has been
elevated by his church and is reputa-
tion as a great preacher grows with
the passing years. He is genial, broth-
erly and a great favorite among the
preachers.
WENDLING TRIAL TESTIMONY.
QUESTION 22.
Question 22 of the discipline
called, “Are all the preachers bla:
less in their life and official admin-
istration?”

ningham of Marshall 'district; J. B.
Sears of Pittsburg- district; C. A. Tow-
er of San Augustine district, and C.

All these reports showed a healthy
condition of the charges and new
churches and parsonages have been
built, membership has been increased
over the districts and the finances are
in splendid shape.
