The cold ireathr and rain that haro proxaiUd for days bare cast a gloom oyer th methodiat conftrenct, bat most of tha delegatei aem determined to make the jcattaonn a; success in ererr way, despite the condition of the outdoor atmosohere. "Behind the clouds the sun is shiaiufr," said a prominent delegate this morninj, striking a poetic mood, "some days most be dark evad dreary." Bishop W. Fitzgerald presided at today's session, and Dr. B. B. Hamilton led in deTotional exercises. CapL McCabe, assisted by two of the secretaries, formed a Tery effectire trio to lead the singing. It seems to be the prerailing opinion among the lay delegates tüls morning that there will be no bishops elected at this session. The committee on episcopacy was xpected to report today, bat the committee will not be ready on account of the fact that the colored brethren are pulling every possible string to secure the election of a colored bishop. The final report of the committee on episcopacy will probably com about Thursday or Friday of this week. The fight orer the editorial chair of the ChtnniaX Advocate at St. Louis is growing very Interesting. It lies between Dr. Masden of St. XiOnis, Dr. Bowman Young o' Kansas City and Dr. Creighton of the Nebraska Wesleyan university. Dr. Curts of Chicago and Dr. Maxwell of Omaha are candidates for the position held by Dr. Stowe of Cincinnati, agent of the'book concern. Home Tery energetic wire-palling is going on along the lines. The minutes are becoming voluminous, and a full hoar every morning is consumed in reading and correcting them. The order of the day was the report of the committee on constitution, and everybody expected tnat the flood-gates of eloquence would be thrown wide open. Dr. Buckley mored that inasmuch as Bishop Merrill was chairman of the constitution committee, he be requested to explain the changes suggested by the report. Dr. !eeley was opposed to the idea of permitting any of the bishops to speak. Even explanations, he said, were sometimes a Tery strong argument. Dr. Miley of Drew seminary' said: "I am surprised that Dr. Neeley should make nch a speech aa that which he has just xaade. Is it possible that we are afraid to let our bishops speak upon the topics that come before this body? Are the interests and doctrines in danger when a bishop takes the floor? I hope Bishop Merrill will be permitted to speak on this subject." Dr. Buckley took the floor and argued vehemently for the motion to permit Bishop Merrill to speak. He referred to the former action of the conference on similar occasions. There were two diseases, he said, that broke out in a general conference: One was bishopphobia, a sort of unnatural fear of bishops; the other whs bishophomania laughter and applause, an intense desire to be elected to the episcopacy. He hoped that neither of these would so warp the minds of the brethren that they would not have confidence in the impartiality of the bishops to such an extent as to exclude them from the door. It was a sad state of things if the church bad come to such a stale that the supreme officers of the denomination could not be given tree opportunity to speak in the conference upon important subjects. The resolution giving Bishop Merrill the privilege of explaining the report on the constitution was passed. The rules were suspended here, however, and the rommittee on the Columbian exposition was called for. The report declared strongly against Sunday opening. In closing, the report said: "Better that the Columbian exposition neither be opened at all than that the gates be opened on Sunday." The committee heartily favored the appropriation of $5,000.000 of government funds, provided that the gates be closed on Sunday, but if the gates were to be opened on the Sabbath, then the conference was aked to eppose the appropriation. The comtnitttee recommended that a telegram bearing the sentiments of the report be ent at once to the president of the United States and to congres. Several vigorous speeches were made favoring the resolution. The preamble and reflations were Indorsed, but were committed for revision. The committee was instracted to vena the proposed telegram to Washington. The report of the committee on constitution was considered by paragraphs, Dr. Keely taking the floor to explain the first Section. The first declaration was that the first three sections of the present discipline are unconstitutional. This is combated, as it is held that this would compel all acts of the general conference to be reviewed by the annual conference. Dr. Little of central Illinois, Dr. Leonard of Ohio and Dr. Curts of Chicago discuwed the matter in the negative. They beld that portions of the alleged constitution are merely statutory laws and not constitutional provision. Under such a holding the laymen legally could not hold a, deal in the conference. They are here by tuffrance only. Dr. B. II. Potts of Detroit was the taext speaker. He was opposed to the definition of the constitution presented by the commissioner. Dr. Kynett defended the action of the commission in a vigorous speech. The Rev. G. E. Ackerman of Tennessee spoke for five minutes and opposed the definition of the constitution Dy the commission. Dr. J. M. Buckley then took the floor. He speke with his usual vigor. He held that the restrictive rules were not all that belonged to the constitution. If that were the case the general conference could annihilate itself by majority vote of 1. Dr. Bnckley held, however, that tne plan of admitting lay delegates was never a part of the constitution, but it was in- ' dorsed by the restrictive rules. It wss the work of the general conference. But the serious danrers to which other speakers bad referred relating to the right of the laymen to sit in the conference did not exist Their rights were secure even if they had not been admitted by constitutional amendment. The restrictive rules guaranteed them tbeir seats in the conference. Dr. Buckley beld that Dr. Kynett had completely changed front since 1872. ' He read a resolution introduced by Dr. Kynett in the conference of 1872 which declared that the plan of admitting laymen could be changed at any time by the general conference. "Dr. Kynett seems to hold that the lapse ef years has taken this power out of the bands of the general conference," said Dr. Buckley. "I do not agree with him. The lapse of years does not change historic facts. The general conference can change the plan of lay electoral representation, but cannot abolish it because the plan has been recognized Ly the restrictive rules of the church, which are a part of the constitution. I would die at the stake before I would admit that the plan of lay representation was a part of the constitution.

but I also bold that the plan baa been indorsed by the constitution in the restrictive rales." Applause. Dr. Hughey of St. Louis held that the plan of lay representation had never been a part ot the constitution, and he was glad that it had never been. He honed that no such abortion as that plan should ever be ingrafted into the constitution of the methodiat episcopal church. It was unfair and unjust to the laymen. He wanted to see a more equitable plan adopted. Mr. Field of Philadelphia, the first layman to speak on the subject, then took the floor. lie said that the constitutional commission bas kept its work wonderfully secret. They had retired to the classic shades of Chautauqua and then to the more quiet shades of Indianapolis, ana finally they bad come before the conference with a prodigious big black book that looked like the ark of covenant Tgreat laughter and clapping of hands and wanted the conference to make these radical changes in the constitution without sufficient time for consideration. Mr. Field therefore moved that the whole discussion of changes in the constitution be postponed until the next general conference. His motion was put and lost. Dr. Hartzel and several others called for Bishop Merrill upon the subject, but cn account of the fact that the hour for adjournment had almost arrived it wan decided to postpone Bishop Merrill's speech and explanation of the work of the constitution commission until tomorrow. Dr. Carman, fraternal delegate from tho methodi?'. church of Canada, was presented to the conference, after which adjournment was taken. An effort is being made to bring the church North and South together and communication has already been opened with the officers of the church South by the committee on the state of the church. The committee on the Chinese exclusion bill held a meeting and prepared a report. It is in keeping with the resolution introduced the other day in which the total exclusion of the Chinese from the United States was declared to be an outrage upon modern civilization. This report will probably be adopted with a whirl. The impression seems to be gaining ground that there will be bishops elected this seB.iion. A mass meeting was held tonight in the interest of the deconess movement and the hospital wards. Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer of Chicago, Bishop Newman, Bishop Thoburn and others delivered addresses. The following telegram was sent to Vice-President Morton and to the congreps of the United States by the committee on the Columbian exposition of the methodist conference: OMATIA, Neb., Msy 10, 1SQ2. To the Viee-Presidsn. of the United States, Washington: "VV are instrnotsd to communicate through you to the home of representatives the adoption of the following resolutions: The general conference of the methodiat episcopal church, here assembled, representing two and a naif million members and tin million adherents, heartily approre of the Colombian exposition and the world's fair expropriation bill now pending before cods rem, proridsd, expresily, that the appropriation by eoncrress shall be conditioned on closing the exposition on Sunday. Sent by order of tho conference. Thomas II. Pkame, President of the Conference Columbian Exposition Com rail tee. James T. Edwards, Secretary. A similar telegram was seut to President Ilarriiun. Omaiia, Neb., May 11. Bishop Joyce occupied the presiding olficer's chair in the Methodist episcopal general conference today. The devotional services were conducted by the Iiev. F. B. Sheppard of the New York conference. The rules were suspended to hear a report from the committee on centennial of the general couierence of the methodist church. The report recommended that a special service be held on the evening of May 17 as a centennial service. The report also recommended that efforts be make to collect the facts connected with the conference of 1792, ai the offici.il journal of that conference was lost. The report was adopted. Dr. Kynett moved that a committee be appointed to meet the delegation to the Presbyterian general assembly, who , paes through Omaha tomorrow, on the way to Portland, Ore,. and invite them to visit the general conference. Carried. Dr. E. J. Gray of Pennsylvania introduced a resolution to change the rules so as to give the different boards authority to elect the official editors, secretaries of the auxiliary department, superintendents of the book concern and other officers usually elected by the general conference. He supported the resolution in a very practical speech. He said as most of the candidates were unknown to a msjority of the dele-

To 'Whom it May Concern: Unasked I deem tt my duty to a suffering humanity whoso bodies and souls I would have healthy, to tell them f the value of Hood's Sarsaparilla. While living la Ohl one of my children was greatly Afflicted With Coils having 30 on her limbs, and being unable to walk. I had heard of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and bought a bottle, half ot which cured entirely. Two years after, another child was afflicted as badly. I used the other half bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla with like results. About four years alter, the child first afflicted was again tormented like Job, and I bought a bottle (on Sunday at that) and again a cure. I gave some of the medicine to a poor woman and two children; they were helped as were mine. Through a testimonial sent to C I. Hood & Co., inquiries came from all the country, asking If it was a 'bona fide' testimonial, and of cour.- I wrote ail that it was, and nave the knowledge ft Scores and Scores Of persons helped or cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Mild cases of rheumatism have yielded to it, Biliousness and bad liver have been corrected In my own family. This la the only patent medicine I have felt like praising. I speak not for C I.

But you won't have any or them, if you'll take "Dr. Sage's Remedy. gates he thoueht.that the various boards could elect these officers with more intelligence and satisfaction to all concerned. Referred to the committee on temporal economy. Dr. Gray also introduced a resolution calling upon the committee on episcopacy to consider the advisability of districting the whole territory of the church into as many districts as there are eflective bishops, and to assien to each bishop except the senior bishop a prescribed district for the term of four years instead of leaving the bishops to divide the work as they do at present. The resolution suggested that the senior bishop be left without a district to preside at the bishops' meetings and superintend the entire work. Referred tn committee of episcopacy. Dr. W. F. Warren of Boston introduced a resolution to have a capable committee appointed to revise the opening chapter of the discipline which treats of the origin and history of the church. The paper was referred to the committee on revision of the discipline, and Dr. Warren was added to the committee. At this juncture Bishop Joyce introduced the Rev. Tepgert fraternal delegate from the methodist church south. He is a young man, a vigorous looking divine and intellectual in appearance. A ringing resolution was ofleied calling for earnest effort to unite the two branches of the methodist episcopal church in the United States. It was referred to the committee on state of the church amid applaune. A long resolution was introduced by the Rot. Mr. Brown, a colored Maryland brother, declaring that the colored brethren wore faithful and loyal to the church, and would remain f-o, notwithstanding the false report that had been circulated to the etiect that the colored brethren intended to stampede from the church if certain concessions were not made to them. The resolution was greeted by applause. "The disease that Dr. Buckley speaks of, binhopphobia." said the Rev. Mr. Brown, "has reached the colored brethren in the conference, but they are not going to have disloyalty if "ve do not ecure the election of a bihop." Applause. The Rev. Mr. Coffey of Delaware (colored) said the negro race had caupht on to a great many modern ideas by following the example of the white brethren. If a bishop was a good thing for white people it certainly would not hurt the colored brethren. Applause. The paDer was finally referred to the committee on stato of the church. Tho conference now took np the consideration of the report of the constitution commission. Bishop Merrill said he would be clad if ho could represent the commission as a unit, but it had not been. The report was the opinion and conclusion of the majority. "1 shall not argue before you as to whether our conclusions were right nr wrong," said Bishop Merrill. "I simply exptain our conclusions and leave you to decide." Bishop Merrill then reviewed the adoption of the law by which delegates were admitted to the general conference. "That portion of the constitution put in unlawfully was not put in at all in reality." said Bishop Merrill. The constitution r?ally should remain as it was in 1808 with the exception of those changes which were lawfully made. That which went in unlawfully took the place of parts that were unlawfully put out, and those parts are not out at all, even though thev may seem to be." Bishop Merrill eaid he would live to vindicate the action of the conferenceof 1S72, but the trouble lay in the fact that the con'erence of 1S(0 fftiled to confer the power upon the conference of 1872 which the latter conference assumed. Tho conference of 1SGS provided for the clothing of the conference of 1872 with power to change the restrictions then in existence but the conference of 1S72 went further and made additions to the restrictive. There wss the milk in the cocoanut. This assumed authority ought to have been corrected long a?o but never had been. The bishop said there were methodista still living who imagined that the six restrictive rules formed the whole of the constitution of the general conference. He had thought that they were all translated, but a few still remained. The commission held that ali the fundamental rules that govern the general conference were a part of the constitution. In closing the explanation Bishop Merrill said: "It is for this conference to decide whether the act of the conference of 1872 was or was uot a legal act; tho commission had no right to pass upon that. We have simply reported the facts as we believe they exitt." Some one asked why the report had not been printed months ago, because it had been ready some time prior to the meeting of the conference. "We were appointed by the Inst general conference," said Bishop Merrill, "with instructions to report to this general conference, not to the public, and we have followed the instructions." Applauso. Omaha, May 12. liishop J. W. Newman presided at the methodist episcopal general conference today. The Rev. Mr. Halstead of Indiana led the devotional meeting. The hymn sung was a special favorite with Bishop Newman. The opening lines are: In tat eroti of Chrlit I glory, TowtnoK o'er ths wrecks ef time All the Muht of innrmA torjüsthers round 1U bead tubllina Bishop Newman held the conference to a strict observance of the rule demanding order. He rapped on the stand and called for the absolute suspension of all conversation during the reading of the minutes. The roll of conferences was called for the offering ofjresolutions and memorials. Dr. Lauahan oilered a resolution providing that the bishops might in following the rules already in voguo count five years in etcry ten for the aDpointment" of the itinerant ministry. That is to permit a minister to be returned to a charge after the lapse of five years. This is simply to make the rule more definite. A resolution was introduced by the book agents of the church calling for a revision ot the church law relating to the management of the publishing houses. On account of the fact that a part of the law had become obsolete, Dr. Hunt wanted the committee on the book concern to make the revision and then report the action to the conference. Dr. Neeley wanted the paper referred to the committee on revivals. It went to the committee on book concern. Another freedman's aid resolution came floating in, declaring the expenditures and debt of the organization have largely increased during the past four years, despite the fact that the receipt had alio greatly

increased, and that work done had not shown a corresponding increase, especially among the colored people of the South. The regular order was suspended tor the purpose of resuming the discussion of the constitutional revision. Dr. J. A. Giucher of Baltimore first took the floor. Speeches were limited to ten minutes. Dr. Giucher did not agree with the conclusion of the constitutional commission. Dr. F. R. Bristol of Chicago, the next speaker, held that there was no euch, thing as the constitution of the general conference apart from the constitution of the methodift church. The conference was the creature of the church, not the church the creature of the conference. "What the conference should do was to decide what the constitution of the church was and that would settle the whole question. Applause. "The laymen at this conference hold their seats here by statutory enactment," said Dr. Bristol. "This conference can at any time by statutory enactment admit the equal lay representation." Applause. Judge Lawrence of Ohio now got the floor. He was given the most profound attention. He said the object of this great discussion was to determine what the constitution of the methodist episcopal church was. He agreed with Dr. Bristol in the statement that the constitution of the church embraced the constitution of the general conference, but he held that the plan of lay representation did not depend upon statutory enactment, for one of the restrictive rules had been changed constitutionally to admit the laymen. They held their seats by constitutional right, not by statutory amendment. Judge Lawrence was caught in the midst of a long sentence by the sound of the gavel calling time. A motion was made to extend his time, but was defeated. Dr. Kynett wanted to contradict a statement by Judge Lawrence with regard to his utterances, but the Rev. Mr. Douglas of Indiana had the floor by right of priority in springing into the arena. A heated contest followed between Dr. Kvnett and several others, who thought he should not allow himself to catch fire because some one had said that his speech of the previous day was revolutionary. Dr. Kynett was ehut out for the time being. Omaha, May 13. The herculean form of Bishop Goodsell loomed up in the presiding ollicer's chair at the methodist conference today. The Rev. T. llarroun of the Wyoming conference led the devotional exercises. Gossip was Heating about the conference hall that tho laymen would defeat the effort to elect more bishops. Mr. Shinkle of Kentucky was authority for the statement that the lavmen would vote three to one against the election of more bishops. Notwithstanding the continued rainy wenther tho galleries filled up early with visitors and spectators. Several distinguished visitors -were expected today, among tiit m Col. 11 F. Shepard of New Yoriti who will address the mass meeting on Sunday next. Ir. Huckley tu th Itenr. The delegate from Italy, Mr. Louis Mandate, arrived and was given a seat in the conference. Dr. Buckley has been occupying the seat aligned to Italian delegates. The seat i near the front. Dr. Buckley had to give it up. His own delegation is seated in the rear of the house, and one of the New York delegates created a laugh by inviting Dr. Buckley to a seat with the delegation. Bishop Newman1 arofe to state a question of privilege. He requested the conference to hear a report from William Deering of Chicago with regard to the work of the committee in meeting the presbyterian de'egates on the way to Oregon. Mr. Deering, who by the way is the wealthiest man in the house, reported the committee met tho train of presbyterian delegates and had- davitedthem "to visit the conferfiice, but they could not accept the invitation because they had to pass on to Portland in order to reach that city in proper time. The presbyterians were addressed in brief by Bishop Newman and responded, paying they wished the conference godspeed. Mr. Deering'a report was received with marked attention. Tta- Church aim! JLlor. The Rev. Thomas Ilanlon of Pennington seminary eprung the first sensation of the day by introducing a resolution declaring that the methoditit episcopal church should come out squarely upon the great struggle between capital and labor being waged in this country. He declared, in his remarks, that the church had not shown sufficient sympathy for the toiling millions. "The laboring claques are drifting away from the church," said Dr. Hanlon. "Our church is made up of women to a large extent The men are drifting away from it. We must take a stand on this great question affecting capital and labor. The church has been too much inclined to lean toward the interest of the capitalists." Dr. Ilanlon was vigorously applauded from the gallery. His resolution was referred to the committee on state of the church. A delegate from the Indiana conference introduced a resolution to change the rules k0 as to admit women as lay delegates in the general conference and to instruct the annual conference that either men or women may be selected as delegates. Referred to the committee on lay delegation. An Old nariilnn. A resolution was offered touching the right of the bishops to vote in elections held by the book committee, the question that has been under dispute for four years. The resolution asked the committee on judiciary to decide one way or another. A lively fight ensued over the matter of referring the resolution to the com

mittee on judiciary. Some of the prominent delegates wanted it to go to the committee on revisals. It went to the committee on judiciary. The order of the day, the memorial services, was then called. Bishop Bowman took the chair. A fine large portrait of the honored dead. Dr. St. James Fry, formerly editor of the Central Christian Advocate of St. Louis, was brought forward and placed upon the rostrum. A scripture lesson was read by the Be v. John Lanaban, D. D., the fifteenth chapter of First Corrinthians. The vast audience was hushed into breathless stillness as the sacred words fell from Dr. Lanahan'a lips, and memories of the dead began to take possession ot every mind. Lincoln, Neb.. May 14. The methodist conference excursion train, consisting of ten coaches, left today at 9 for Lincoln. Notwithstanding the rain, the trip was a pleasant one. The distinguished men of the conference were mostly aboard, including Bishops Bowman, Newman, Warren, Fowler, Foss and Waiden. Dr. Buckley, Dr. Lanahan, Dr. Hunt and other magnates of the body hoped to make the trip a feast of conversation all the way. Tne delegates and visitors were royally entertained by the citizens of Lincoln. The train arrived here at 11 o'clock and was met by a large delegation of citizens and the Wesleyan unirertity band. Tho entire party, consisting of over a thousand people, was escorted on foot to the Lansing epera housa, where the following program wns served: Presentation of the conference to the mayor of Lincoln, the Rev.

FIGHT BETWEEN GIRLS. A Rough and Tumble Scrimmage All for a Beau. Axxistox, Ala., May 13. The cotton mills of the Annicion manufacturing company was the ecene of ft rough and tumble fight yesterday in which girls were the fiphtera. One pirl is on her death bed and at least eix others are bruised, blackened and scratched and aro under the care of physicians, who fear blood poisoning in some capes. Mies Jesse Trice end Miss Robbies Brown, two etout specimens of Alabama womanhood, whose prominence have made them the centers of two factions, and by whom the employes are divided, are the principals in the case. For several day a spirited rivalry has existed between them, ßuppoeed to have sprung from tfteir claims on a common beau. When tbey reached the miil yesterday they refused to speak. Tho action wa9 observed by their comrades. ooa tbe necessity of employment drew them together. Miss Brown's face expressed derision, and Miss I'ric drawing her arm back with tbe pcience of Sullivan, cent her fist under Mies Brown's jaw, hurling her to the iloor in n second. She then jumped upon her adversary. Mies Brown's friends ran to her rescue, only to oe met ny inoee oi Jiiss i rice, in a moruent a dozen women were together on the ! floor in a mat, pulling hair, scratching face, hitting each other in the heads with bobbin and screaming in a frightful manner. The superintendent, aided by other men whom he had called to his aid, pulled the) women apart. It was soon seen that Miss Brown was in a dying condition, and that others were eeriously hurt. Three of them fell in a faint brought on by the exertion of tne riot. Hacks were ordered and the women were hurried off to their homes. Warrants were sworn out against Mies Jessie Price and a half-dozen others. They will be held to await the result of Miss Brown's injuries. A Free Trip I o E irop.
