Dr Stowo , publisher of the Dally Chris
tian Advocate , nroso and said ho wanted to
tell the conference the diniculttos that tno
publisher : bad gotten Into. They were _ get
ting the papar published nt the \ orlfl-
Herald onicc , where the facilities wore very
limited and thov baa experienced croat
iliniculty In Rotting Iho paper out In Rood
shape and on ilmo. Dr. Slowo said tbo sub-
scrlpllons wcro pouring in and their crowded
condition at the VVorld-Jlorald onlco made It
dlfllcult for them to got , the list corrected
each day and Iho papers mailed in reason
able time. Dr. Stowo wanted the members
1o got UOHR with ono copy each day of the
Dally Advocate instead of three as ordorod.
Ilos'totod that the publishers had found It
nlmojt impossible to got enough paper In
Onmba to run olt tbo number of papers re
quired.
There was a concral kick against cutting
down the number of copies allowed for each
member and Dr. Stowo was simplv In
structed to roll up bis sleeves and got out nil
tbo papers necessary to supply the demand
nnd tbo conference would stnnd nt his back.
Dr. .lobn Pearson of Cincinnati said ho
believed that tliero were facilities in Omaha
RUflieiont to publish 100,001) ) if necessary and
ho thought the publisher * ought to keep on
sawing wood instead of stopping to make ex
planations.
H Kov. .1. L. Smith of tbo Northwest Indiana
conference , a patriarch In the church SI
. years old , and who was married a few days
ago to n lady over fit ) yo'irs old , then made n
few remarks , thanking the conference for the
honor conferred upon him by offering him u
eat on tbo platform , but declining it , pre
ferring to sit with his delegation.
Dr. Necly then presented tlu conference
with n very line record of the constitution
commission.
liUliop Tlinbtirii'4 Ill-port.
Then the order of the day was taken up ,
which was the reportof BlshopThoburn , mi'-
nionnry bishop to Indlnnuu Malaysia. lie said
that tbo church was preaching and teaching
tbo gospel in India and Malaysia in thirteen
dlffcront languages. The work in India is
destined to prosper tecnuso the English lan-
puncc is guining u strong and wide foothold
there.
The report was long and exhaustive. It
touches upon tbo workoftho throe annual
conferences , ono missionary conference and
tbrco district conferences in India. They
nlsa have ono woman's conference there.
.During the past , four years the warning force
from Amnrlca had fallen oft some ,
but the membership had nioro than
doubled. In the three conferences tbo
membership had increased moro than
1)0,000 ) during tlu past , four years. Natives
were giving up tnolr idols by the thousand.
The mission Sunday schools bad a member
ship of over 55,000 , more man all the other
Sunday schools In tbo entire ompiro. The
Sunday schools had increased in attendances
nearly 10,000 during the past quadrcnnlura.
Jn the mission day schools there wcro over
J9.000 pupils , nn increase of about 10,000 dur
ing tbo quudrennium. The church has
eleven blgu schools and n great number of
lower grade schools.
Speaking of the work done by the womot
Blsbop Thoburn said that they
hnd given women ovcry opportunity
10 do effective work nnd
tboy had done noble service for tbo Lord.
DrtnlUoHliii Work In lllclli. :
In tbo printing and publishing department
of work In India , tbo church had already es
tablished three largo concerns , and periodi
cals and pamphlet * were being published in
nluo languages.
The church In India has all the elements
of a living , moving , aggressive organization , "
said the bishop.Vo are moving in the
glorious service of the Lord. "
Referring to the work of the conferences ,
the report stated that there should bo live
conferences Instead of three. Tboy uro lee
largo nt present.
The report urged the necessity of enlarg
ing the work in India.
"Wo do not know what may happen tomor
row , " said Bishop Ttioburn 'in the eloquent
'
'peroration of tbo report , "but wo do know
that tbo sun never sets In the morning.
[ Anplauso.l It Is just morning in India.
The light of God has dawned upon that far
off land ; lot us bo up arid doing In the name
of God , spreading the blessed gospel. "
The address was frequently interrupted by
npplauso uud at tbo close there was prolonged
upplanso.
The confercqeo arose and sang , "Lo , the
morning light is breaking , the darkness
disappears. "
Then tboro was a call for Bishop Taylor ,
missionary bishop of Africa , who appeared
on the platform. Ho came forward nnd was
introduce to the conference.
Hy resolution the report was ordered pub
lished in pamphlet form and in the Advocuto.
Bishop Andrews then rend tbo names of u
doion additional committees appointed by
the bishops ,
A vole of thanks was tendered Dr. Jsooly
for his gift of tbc record of tbo constitution
coin ml t too.
On motion of Dr. Hamilton the report of
Dljlioi ) Taylor of Africa was made tlu order
of the day for 10 o'clock today.
As to Chinese ICicliiKlnn.
A motion was mono to suspend Iho rules
for the purpoioof hearing Iho report of the
commilteo on the Chinese exclusion bill. It
was carried.
Judge Lawrence then submitted the repor'
which was road by ttio secretory. The re
port stated that the committee had
learned that the president of the
United States hail already signed
the bill , and tbo commit Ice therefore thought
U unnecessary to tuUo action until tbn excel
wording and condition of the bill could to
ascertained.
Dr. Swindells submitted n minority report
requesting that the matter bo referred at
once to Iho committee on the Mate of Iho
cliurco. Ho feared tint tUoChinoso exclu
sion bill might endanger the lilo and prop
erty of the missionaries. Ho wanid Im
mediate nud thorough action taken upon the
matter.
Dr. Qucal was ooposcd to referring the
matter to the committee on the state of the
church. Ho moved that U be recommitted to
the special committee with instruction to
take further time toconsulor It.
Dr. Iluculey wanted the majority report
received and tbo commilteo discharged from
uny further notion In tbo uinitor , and ho
further suggoiled that another commilteo
might then be created to consider tbo whole
matter over again.
This Idea called forth unfavorabls com
ments from those favoring the report of tha
committed as final , mid 11 was freely lull-
mute a iLttl lUcre wa u disposition to fircone
committee overboard because Its report was
not J'ist what was wanted by certain parties ,
nnd then to appoint n committee that would
bring In a satisfactory report.
lii ! < liill n * anil Partlan.
Dr. Swindells denounced the bill Just
passed and signed as ono of tbo most In
iquitous measures over passed by congress ,
and ho did not think that the conference
could afford to acquiesce In It by accepting
n report that remained silent regarding such
on Iniquitous stnto of affairs.
Dr. Poyno stated that It was a political
question , and there was no scnso In denying
it , but Iho church ' .vns not n political body.
It was nonpartlsan nnd was not compelled
to remain silent on Mich an Important ques
tion , nt tbo demand of Interested politicians.
Ho wanted the case to go to tbo committee
on stnto of the church.
Dr. Ilukley again urged the necessity of
referring the matter to 11 now special com
mittee that the confcronco mtaht not bo
regarded as having started out with a splurge
on this question , and then decided to remain
stranccly silent. Hr wonted It understood
that anyone who attempted lo ring In poll-
tics In this conference In order to build up
ono political party or pull down another was
resorting to the methods of the demagogue.
The old commlllco was finally discharged
and Iho mailer roforrcd lo a now commllleo
of IIvo ministers and four laymen.
A resolution was adopted ordering tbo
doorkeepers lo allow none but delegate * or
those who had tickets to enter the body of
the hall , and instructing the ushers to pre
vent conversation In tbo rear ol the ball dur
ing Iho so4lon.s of Iho conference.
The bishop was instructed lo place ono
member fiom Iho Pacific coast on the Chlnoso
exclusion committee.

Before the Ilrst speaker was announced tbo

bad been utiabTo to gain entrance lo the hall.
Additional seats wore placed in every avail

glad of even that privilege.

Tno delegates reported that boih at Belfast
nnd at Bristol they had been received with
generous hospitality and a fraternal welcome.
Tbo heroic and successful labors of their
Irish brethren had excited their admiration ,
and tbo steady growth and stabiljly of Brit
ish Methodism had commanded their pro
found respact. They returned bringing wilh
Ibom tbo pleasant recollection of many per
sonal favors.
Dr. Moulton's crodenlials were read by
Secretary Monroe , and the address fiom the
Wosleynn Methodist conference was then
reaa by Dr. Fiske. Tbo report In substance
was as follow. * :
"It Is moro lhan seventy years since the
Ilrst delegates passed between tbo Methodist
churches of your country nnd our * . \Vo have
boon pleased to welcome tbo godly men who
have brought us tidings of your welfare -
faro In Hie Lord. Closer acquaintance

ecumenical conferences of 1SS1 and 16'Jl. Wo
feel it necessary to bo on our guard against
the events that might arlso from ecumenical
ideas and differences. Wo greatly rcjoico in
the spiritual prosperity with which tied has

work among you is subject for congratula-
lion.

"To Ibo pcoplo of tbo United States is as
signed n tremendous part in the affairs of
the world. You have an unusual opportun
ity for church extension and for engaging in

CG4,77i > , with 47GV2 on trial for membership ,

Wo need not bespeak Tor our representative
a welcome at your bauds , lie is a biblical
scholar whose ability would demand for him

Dr. Fisko , after reading It ho address , paid
an eloquent tribute to Dr. Moulton as a man
of masterful intellect , of progressive spirit ,
a deep thinker , ono who hnd paid great
attention to Iho welfare of man and of the
church , Ho said that It was
Indeed an honor to huvo an oppor
tunity to entertain such u man.
It almost seemed at if tbo British law pro
vided Hint a man who was bound lo make a

should bo named \Vllllum , and ho was glad
that such a man had been tout to this con

Bishop Bowman then Introduced the dls
tlnL-nishcd guobt and Iho vust audience rose
as a man lo rotitni tbo Methodist suluto lethe
the titockv , sturdy gentleman who stopped
forward lo the edge of the platform. Ho
was n typical Britisher , even to the red rose
in his buttonhole. A florid complexion and
closely cropped slue whiskers were bin
minor characteristics of u squarely shaped ,
thoroughly Kngllsh head , set llrraly on an
English neck lhat disappeared between r
pair of distlnetUely English shoulders.
Fluffy blonde hair ran riot over each side ol
his head , apparently wllhout fear of inter
ruption , ovori'ivhoia except on top , when
there wasn't cnougii left to Huff , and wha
remained tboro lay decorously quiet. The
clerical yarb of the foreigner undoubtedly
had many counterparts in the audience , but
It seamed to have distinguishing cut
somewhere about it , either In tbc closely
buttoned frock coat or souio other fcaturo ,
nnd KO It was oven down to bis shoes. Dr.
Moulton said :
" 1 thank you wilh all my heart for your
moat cordial welcome. My experience since

Adtocntr * of tIIP Illll In a Hlg Mnjorlty In

Liiken Vrntrrilny'n Work
In the Senate.
WASHINOTOX , D. C. , May 0. It was m.ado
evident in today's proceeding * that the river
and harbor committee has tbo great majority
of the bouse on its side , nnd the reception
that amendments not favored by Chairman
Blanchard met with was certainly discour
aging lo members who wanlcd lo change the
distribution.
Mr Holman ot Indiana Is having it made
very warm for him in his opposition to the
bill. Mr. Heed of Maine this afternoon , to
the crcat amusement of the house , applied
his wealth of sarcasm to Iho Indiana ob
jector nnd In a quiet way poked fun nt Mr.
Holman for defending an appropriation
mane for a stream in Indiana.
The house went into committee of tno
whole on the rivers and harbors appropria
tion bills.
Mr. Carutb Ihrow n liltlo amusement into
tbo proceedings by offering nn amendment
appropriating ? 'iift)0 , ) to improve Salt river ,
Kentucky. After expnliallag upon the great
benoilts which would accrue to commerce from
the Improvement of and nnngatlou of this
stream , ho alluded to tbo advantage which
the appropriation would bring lo dofcalod
candidates for Iho presidency.
Mr. Blnnchnrd remembered Ibat some
Kentucky republican had asked for a survey
of Salt river.
"Will you got It ready for the November
cleetlons'l" was Mr. Carulh's plilnllvo rejoinder -
joinder and Iho house burst into laughter und
promplly defeated tbo amendment.
lU'i > cl Stlrit I'l ) lliilmnn.
Then Mr. Heed of Malno saw an opportun-
lly to stir up Mr. Holman and he did so by
moving to strlko out the appropriation of
$1.1,000 for complutlnglbe embankment on tbo
south sldo of the ( Ircat Miami river. In a
sarcasllo manr.er ho called upon the clialr-
man of the committee on appropriations to
ris < } and protest agamil this extravagant ex
penditure , even though itwas to bo expended
within his district , it seemed that gentle
man had a redeeming trait that bo was so
Human that wbon it came to an appropria
tion for his own district tbo great principle
of economy , retrenchment and reform was no
moro applicable to him than to tbo weakest
of republicans.
Mr. Holman defended the appropriation.
Referring to an allusion made by Mr. Heed
to the town of Lnwroncoburtr , Ind. , ho said
that if be had alluded in a similar manner tea
a town in the gentleman's district , tbo gen
tleman could think of nothing too mea-i for
him lo reply. Ho denied emphatically lhat
in advocating tbo appropriation ho was in
any wav actuated by personal motives.
Mr. Heed replied that ho had not said that
the gentleman was actuated in legislation by
personal motives : but ho had baon hero for
: lfteon years and ho bad never soon tbo gon-
tlemau vote against an Indiana project.
The Onn Kvci'ptliHi.
Mr. I'olman Yes , you havo. You have
seen me do so over and ever again. You
have soon mo vote against tbo swamp land
bill in which Indiana \vns" interested.
Mr. need That is right tbat is an excep
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Mcllao of Arkansas He Is not riuht.
Mr. Heed Is thctso ( Then that settles
that instance.
Mr. Ucod'i motion was lost without divis
ion.
ion.Mr. . Whiting of Michigan moved to strike
out the approprialion for 'a ship channel
twenty-one foot in depth connecting the
waters of the great lakes between Chicago ,
Duiuth nnd Buffalo , and inserting in lieu
thereof a provision authorizing the secretary
of war to appoint a board ol engineers lo
whom shall bo referred the report of Colonel
O. M. Pee upon Hie subjocl of n twenty-foot
channel from Duiuth to Buffalo through the
great lnko < < . The board shall also report as
to the practicability of raising the water-
level of Iho lakes ami connecting harbors by
damming Iho Niagara river.
Pending action , the commilteo rose nnd the

WASHINGTON' , D. U. , May 0. Tbo standing
committee of press correspondents will begin
on Monday an inquiry to ascertain tbo reasons
sons for the dismissal , under charges of in-
lidellly lo Ibo senalo , of Executive Clerk
James II. Young. The examination into this
matter is not made for the purpose of chul
lenglng the right of the eonalo to dismiss an
employe , but to enable the associates of Mr.
Young , who Include the whole body of corrc
Epondonts , lo reach and express n conclusion
wilh regard lo Iho probability of his guilt ,
and aa to whether , If tbo senate was justified
in dismissing him under charges of gross In
fidelity , ho should not also , for tbo same rea ,
son , bo excluded from tbe privilege } of the
gallery.
Mr. Young , who was refused by the son-
nto an ooportunlly to bo hoard , will bo
called upon by ibo coinmllloo to make a
statement.
In spite ot the fact tbat Mr. Young was
rently secretly dismissed by the senate
under very painful circumstances , it appears
that there are at least thrco applicants in Ihe
Held for tbo place of executive clerk of the
fiennto thus made vacant. Tnoy uro General
Allen of Fargo , N , D. , but formerly a resi
dent of Pennsylvania , who is bacKcd by tbe
iiorih western senators ; Charles Martin ,
late clerk of tbo house ot representatives ,
who Is brought forward by Senator Perkins ,

graduate of Howard university , who was n
protege of cx-Snnntor Hvarts and has
strong backing. It was stated at ono time
that the oftlco was to bo abolished , but the

olllco committee a bill providing that mal
mailer heretofore Included in the third am
fourth class bball In future bo transported as
third class matter , postage on which stml
bo charged at Iho rate of 1 cent for every
two ounces or traction thereof. Tbe passage
of tbo bill , the committee thinks , will benotl
every porto" who has occasion to use the

particularly an advantage to people in tbo
rural districts who have no means of sending
or receiving packages by express or by other
private conveyances.

LONDON' , May U. Within both Mr. Glad
stone's immediate circle and the rank nnd
file of the liberal parly his refusal lo rccolvo
the delegates from the worklngmon's con
ference , who desired to present the eight-
hour law question lo him , Is keenly felt to
have been n tactical mtsluUo. Quick lo takn
advantage of this mistake , the cotiRorvatlva
members of tbo House of Commons for Lon
don held u meeting nnd decided to infliionco
the government to lake Iho opposllo course.
The liberal members also hold n special mcel-
Ing , but they hcsltntcd to tnko action con
demning Mr. Gladstone. They , therefore ,
referred the mailer lo a committee with
instructions to report next Tuesday. In
tbo meantime tbo conservatives stele n
march upon then by Inducing Lord Salisbury
and Mr. Balfour to receive a deputation con
sisting ol duly accredited representatives of
tbo trades unions. The loaders of the trades
union council are almost , without exception ,
radicals. They will not be duped Into sup
posing that the conservative chiefs are moro
solicitous In tbo cause of libor than the liberal -
oral leaders , nor will either Lord Salisbury
or Mr. Balfour commit themselves to the
eight-hour movement. But it is not double 1
ns a result of the conference between the
labor representatives nnd the conservative
chiefs will bo the placing of the labor ques
tion at the forefront of the progr.im of both
political parties , to the embarrassment of the
liberal chiefs who are pledged to homo rule
\Vonk Spot In the Liberals' roaltlon.
Tomorrow the speaker ( liberal ) will put a
finger on n weak spot In tno liberal position
by paying tbat tbo enemies of homo rule ,
despairing of success by open nllnclts , medi
tate nn operation on tbo Hank in seeking to
divert the attention of tbo liberal masses
from tuo Irish question and thus convert cer
tain victories into a rout.
An expression of this ominous importnuco
coming from the Gladstonlan organ Is fiiig-
gostivo of th u strong alarm that prevails lest
Iho party bo wrecked on the labor d illl cul
lies , for Lord Salisbury's steps nro Icnown.
The Times publishes n rnro laudation of
Mr. Gladstone for refusing to involve him
self In n discussion on tno eight-hour ques
tion. Tdo Times upheld bis conduct as a
model for imitation bv wcaU-Uneod people ,
nnd the effort of the labor leaders to extort
pledges at this stage of the movement was
denounced ns an outrageous attempt to over
bear the judgment ot Parliament.
This criticism does not affect the satisfaction
of the conservatives over tbo policy oi their
loaders , who are now obviously harassing
the liberals nnd attracting toward the gov
ernment a strong body of worluugmcn. The
oOIciul uuionj.sl puper declares Unit t tie-
act ion ot Mr. Gladstone has Chilled to the
core the hearts of the workingmcn , who
were once warm towards htm. It add : ; that
the workingmcn must apparently sacrillco
ov9rythlng nud wait on Mr. Gladstone's
convenience until ho thlnlw tuo question
rotten rips , when ho will step in and pro
claim his support. This the workingmen re
fuse to do.
l.lbrruls ralciitnlhiK on SucrpfH.
A pretension of secrecy enwrapped the
couieronce of the liberal election agents , but
there was nothing of a startling nature to
bide. Mr. Schnadhorst , at Iho close of Iho
conference in humming up Iho reports , drew
an average. lie calculated lhat the concral
election will give tbo liberals a majority of
seventy-seven in the next House , and held
that tbo labor complications would oxcrt
only u minor influence.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt , in con
versing with the agents , stated that the
elections were certain to bo held ut Iho open
ing of July , lollowms the Ulsler convention
at Belfast and the all-Ireland unionist con
vention in Dublin in Juno. Tbc Orange
lodges , Sir William assorts , are privately
subscribing money for the purchase of arais
to carry out the tbrcaU to rebel rather
lhan lo submit to an Irish parliament.
Whether the lories really and sincerely be-
Hove lhat an armed conflict will follow tbn
establishment of an IrUh parliament , they
assume tbo sincerity and cultivate the be
lief lhat civil war will bo the outcome of
homo rule. Mr. McDonnell , Lord Salis
bury's private secretary , has written to an
Oxford clergyman that "his lordship is glad
to see you Impress upon the electors tlui
probability tbat homo rule will produce tbat
greatest of all curses a religious civil war. "

Lord Salisbury ( ivc ! < ( Itler.inco to Some ol
Ills Peculiar Ideas.
LONDON , May G , Presiding louay nt n
mooting of the Grand Habitation of the
Primrose leuguo iu Covent Gut-don theulor ,
Lord Salisbury said : "Homo rule would
place a hostile island on our Hank und sub
ject to infinite damau-o and to disgraceful
abandonment the o In Ireland who have over
fought for our cause. In America and other
countries an organic change must rccolvo tbe
sanction of the people , but hero electors vote
on various Issues , und there is no moans of
distinguishing their verdict on homo rule. "
Ho claimed that his promises of six years
ago that Ireland would bo pucillod if given
generous consideration in regard to her ma
terial wants and a linn , Impartial and contin
uous administration of the lew , had been
fulllllcd. "Tho spirit of Jisordo , " ho said ,
had Gradually cowed before the spirit of the
law. "
Peace has so rojtorcd Ireland that boy
cotting no longer exists , Still there nro men
in Ireland who have resolved to undo this
work and place Iho spirit of lawlessness
aoovo the spirit of tbo law. [ Crk'.i of
Shnmo. " ]
Mr. Parnoil , on whom , now tjono , I do not
wish to pass any criticism , was undoubtedly
a inuun more formidable opponent than uny
man ho has lei t , behind. [ Cbuers.j Ho had
Iho power nf bringing tbo American clement
into Ihu agitation , with alt Us wealth and In
dividual energy nnd financial assistance.
Now hit is removed , the nglliillon hceini to
huvo fallen back into the old groove nnd
robombles very much the conflicts bottvcon
a portion of the people of Ireland nnd tno
people of England which bnvo happily
existed for many goncr.itioiiR. On Iho other
'and. wo are ol the opinion that the locallsus
of Ireland are unchanged. The conviction of
its dangers bus Incroatud ovcry year. I do
not know of uny symptom moro menacing
than the recent declarations of L'lbtor leaders
that limy divad being put under the feet of
thuir Irreconcilable nnomy.
Lord Sallsburv utterly refused lo recog
nize the inhabitants of the souttenst portion
of Ireland as typical of the Catholic church.
Ho was tbo moro justified in saving BO because -
cause ho know that tbo pope , though , of
course , observing In a strictly political man
ner thu utmost partiality , plrongly eon-
dcmiu'b Ihn agencies viiih which the agents
In Ireland lud striven to succeed.
Though ho had not condemned
the Cathollo church , ho hud
condemned und would always condemn those
who. holding high splnlual authority and
beading u great spiritual organization , use
those weapon : ; for purely bcculaf objects
'
wherein no' spiritual concern cxut3. Ho
would condemn , whether Catholic or Cut-
vinist , men wiio thus Inflicted u deep wound
ou civil society and fastened profound ttain
upon the weapons llioy used. iChoori.J
Ulster , ho bald , hud Iweu taunted on rhe
passive Attitude. " 1 am a lory , " continued
tbe speaker , "but I do not believe in this un
qualified doctrine of passive endurance. 1
believe thai Ibo title of both kings and par
liaments to oDodienco from thslr subjects
depends upon ibo.so kings and parlia
ments observing thu fundamental laws
and understandings whereby ihoy rulo.
Parliament has tbe right to govern the
people with law * , but not the right to toll
