The candidates for election ai bishops of the MothodUt Episcopal churcb at the pres ent general conference saw their hopes Blasted yesterday. The vote to adopt the re port of the committee , recommending that no more bishops bo elected at present , was so decisive and overwhelming that the advo cates of the election of more bishops ap peared to ! ese heart , and many of thorn refrained from voting. It was the sensation of the day. While thcro mav bo an ofTort made to reconsider the action on this report , It Is generally Believed that the matter is sctted ! for the present session. The conierucco also took a shy at the question of admitting women , delegates , cut the very llrst whisper provoked such a breeze that , the eood brethren re pented almost before they pot started. Their experience , however , was the same as that of the backwoodsman was unwillingly hugging ti bear , for they found it awfully hard worn to let po. Dr. Buckley tried hard to pet at the question In order to knoclt It out once and forever , but it wa sent to rusticate xvltn a commuter ; . Opening the Diiy's Work. Dlsbop Hurst presided and Dr. Hills of Gencace conference led the devotional ex- ercUes. The briaht weather had a visible effect upon the delegates. The frowns of last week had given way to emlles , the heaviness of expression in the faces of the members was banished. The bishops sent in a communication re questing the conference to decide definitely the meaning of the rules where they speci fied that a call for a vote by orders could bo called by a third of cither order ; whether these ruliH meant one-third of all members elected or one-ttiird of the members present and voting. The paper was referred to the Judiciary committee. A resolution xvas introduced oy the North German conference cnllinir for a more satis factory juvenile Sundav-school paper than thO'o now published by the church.

Dr. Swindells offered a resolution declnrinir that the army and navy of ihe United States should bo instructed in rcltclon and ? oed murals , and asking coheres ? to provide a competent .ind sufficient number of chaplains for this purpose.

The resolution also recommended that the presidei , i of the United 'Slates and the scr rct.iry of war bo requested to refuse nil ap plications from MeihcctiHts who could not inrnish the recommendation of this board of bishops for tUo position of chaplain. An other clause xvas introduced protesting neuinst the proposcvl change in the army rules bv xvnlch the chaplains xvoulil bo em ployed the same as teamsters , cooks , etc , Another clause provides for the appointment of n committee of tweutv-tivo from the MiUh- odist church to consider the steps most ex pedient to secure a more efficient chap laincy in the army ind navy. Dr. Swindells declared that there xvere Bcvonty-txvo posts in the United States army noxv without chaplains. He Utousbt this was a shameful neglect , The Methodist churrh htnl bat eight chaplains in the entire ar.ny Ho did not picnd for moro Methodist chaplain' * , but for n moro cillclcnt chaplaincy nil through the army. The resolution xvas referred to the committee on temporal econ omy. omy.Dr. . Swindells offered a resolution to regu late tuo precedence of committee reports.

Tbo resolution xvaa slned by Mary Wright Baton , president of the Woman's douncil and the secretary of the lame organization. Several of the delegates held that the resolution snould bo referred to tuo commit- lee on lay deleft Ion. Mr. Stuiiklo o [ Ken- tucuy said that a similar resolution xvas already before that committee. Dr. Buckley , the chief onpopent of the admission of xvomen In the Methodist churcb , got tha floor. A red-hot time began to appear imminent. But Dr BucKlay xvus riUappolnted.

Dr. Kynett made a vigorous speecn declaring that this matter should bo considered at once by the committee. Dr Buckley flexv to the breach In fan in stant. He opposed the sending of tbo resolu tion to the committee on judiciary. The xvholo question would soon como bcforo the confer ence in the report of the committee on lay delegation. He believed that It xvas a waste of time to hand any moro resolutions of this character to the overxvorked committee on judiciary. Dr. D. H , Moore of the Central Christian Adx-ocato took up the diseu slon for tno reference of the resolution to the judiciary committee. Dr. Hamilton wanted the resolution sent to the judiciary committee. Dr. Uipgin oftcred n substitute to send It to the committee on lay delesutlon. The substitute xvas defeated and the reso lution xvas then referred to the Judiciary committee. This xvas heartily applauded as the first In dication of a victory lor tbo xvomen. The xvoman question will certainlv como into the conference noxv and it may como in both the report of the judiciary and the lay delegation committees. further memorials' . The order of the day , the completion of the memorial services bcpun on Friday , was taken up. Bishop Boxvman presided during these services. Bisuop Foss offered pruvor. The first memoir read xvas that of Rex- . Christian Blynn by Rev. Oeorgo Abole. It xvas brief and appropriate. Tbo memoir of Rev. Ueorze S. Hare , D D. , was read by Dr. James M. King of Noxv York.

The memoir xvas n tender and eloquent tribute to his memory. The deceased XVPS siid to bo a very strong and very loyal man. He xvas one of the central figures in the cturch. Dr. Rankin from Culifoi-uia arose and said that the memoir of Chan cellor Hartson had bean overlooked. Ho therefore moved that , i memoir whicn had been prepared by one of his friends la California bo read. Dr. Rankin xvis in structed to read thn memoir. Chancellor Hartson xxas not an educator his first name xvas ' Lhancellor" but he xvas a laxvver , a prominent and very influential layman of California. The paper xvas an able and fitting tnbuto to his excellent qualities. On motion of Dr. Lananan , the memoirs wore all adopted as read.

Dr. Hard lutroducaa a resolution to have memorial notices of u lon list of prominent Metuodists , Lot included iu the hat ju t pro sented. printed in the Daily Advocate. This resolution included all the deceased xvho xvero members of the general conference of iss ? . Dr. Buckley thought that the passage of such a resolution xvould opou up a very ex tensive task for the publishers. Dr. Sanford Hunt also thought that such a resolution xvould fill the columns of tno Daily Advocate xvith matter that xvould not bo interesting to a majority of the readers. It xvas finally decided to place the names and dates of tba deceased in the daily. Thu iiNcimi'y : | Contest , Then came the licht ox-or the episcopacy and it bepan by a contest oetxveen Dr.BacKlovand Dr. Ncely as to xvuich should get the floor. Dr. Buckley xvaated to present the report of the committee on opiscopacv. xx'hile Dr. NeulTautcd tae report , ni/ld oil until Tues day. Dr. Buculoy won nis point and xvas greeted by applause. The llrst pivt of the report recommended that Bishops Tu > lor and Tboourn bo re tained as missionary bishops in Africa and India. That pnrt of the report xvaa adopted without discussion. The committee further reported that none of the piesent bishop * should ho declared to oo Inolfectivo for \vork , although it xvas probable tnat their advancing years xvould prevent their giving tno active service dur ing the next quadrcculurn that they had in the past. Thu clause xvas adopted , and all o' the bishops will remain on the list as ellecnve. Regarding the matter of Increasing the number of bisaops the committee roporied adversely , and no sooner had the report been submitted than Dr. Wilson of Oregon moved that the matter bo made a special order for today. Dr. Neely Insisted that Dr. Wilson's motion was fair and that the conference should bo informed thu a further report of the committee provided for a chance of epis copal roaiiloncaj. Ho further declared tuat tbo reports xvcro not being road in the order m xxhich thcv xvdra origimiliy numbered. The previous question was ordered and Dr.Vilson's motion xvas snowed undor. Wli.it n M.iii xx 1th KjtM CouliI scis Dr. Maxti ld stated thai there was no pair of eyes in tbo conference so poor as to bo una ble to read betxveen tue lines and see want caused the discussion. Ho was surprised to sco men xvba bad carefully discussed the question and hoard It discussed in ttio com mittee plead for more rim ? and further dis cussion on the floor of the conference after having boou defeated , noxv teat the report of tno commuteo bad been submitted. Dr. liuckley made a brief statement of the facu as bo saxv thorn and smilingly roasted tbo opposition. The previous question was ordered and the report of tbo committee recommending that PO more bishops be elected XXMS adopted , the opposition rafrainmsfrom voting. Tne fourth part of the report recommended that ttor.a bo no colored bishop elected for thu reason that no moro bishops xvoro needed at present and xvhon the time should arrix'o to increase the number the qaeation of color should not be considered In the election of bishops. The fitness and qualifications of the men and tbo necessity of bmiuir more buhop elected xvoro the onlv questions that should enter in'o tha problem of episcopal election. Dr. Buckley spoke at some lencth upon this part of the report. Ho said tboro xvas no desire on the part of the members of tbo committee to pass this qticstiou of a colored bishop ov lightly. The matter had been dis cussed at length In the committee and toe colored men had made some of the most elo quent speecnes in the discussion. The report touching the election of a col ored bishop xvas adootcd. Then the last pr.rt of the report came In. It xvas In substance the saino as that pub lished by THE BEE la xveek , recommending that all the present ep.scooal residence * be ratalned and episcopal residences b located at Detroit , in the suio of Wasaiagton ana in Japan and Europe.

Mr. Simpson denied the correctness of the statement made by Mr. Taylor that the lead ers of tbo farmciM alliance advised the farmers to hold thiir corn. Those xvho had advised the course had bsen members of the republican party. The gentleman from Ohio ( Mr. Taylor ) xvas a national uanUer and xvas setting the advantage of the sjibtruasury svstein ; yet ho xvus opposed.to glvine the farmers the same benefit. Unless the farm ers xvero given the same equality they xx-ould knoxv the reason xvby after the next election. Mr. Watson of Georgia and Mr. Davis of Kansas raised their voices in favor of the jstiotreasurv system , and the latter made a remark about the farm mortgages m his state. Mr. J. D. Taylor did not think the condi tion of the farmers xvus as bad as pictured. Ha bad recently purchased a farm IP his state , for xvtitch he paid 70) ) per cent moro than it had oeen purchased for eight years before. The trouble xvith Kansas xvas that it did sot have the snap of the people of Nexv Enclar.d. They talk loss about mort- paces and moro about business.

A decision xvas today aiven in the United States supreme premo court in favor of Mary Bardon iu u suit betxveen her and the Northern I'aclfio Railroad company to determine the tttlo to lands in Wisconsin. The suit is 0110 of Importance - portanco and involves property of great value. % Mrs. Bardon held the lands under n pre emption claim and the railroad company maintained that she held It morel'- the trustee of the company. By the admission of the counsel it was conceded that the lards lay xvlthln he place limits of the Morthcra Pacific railroad , nnd the title would pass to It unless oxcoptcd from the grant by facts admitted by counsel on both sides. Thesa facts xvaro'that prior to the grant one Jax.es Robinson settled upon the land as a qualified prc-emptoi' . This pro-emption entry xvas in course of com pletion wnen the graat to the Northern Pa cific xvas made , and this took the lands out of the public domain and prevented interest In them passing to the company under the enmtlng act. The pra-eraption entry of Robinson was subsequently cancelled , and as the cancellation took place subsequent to the location of tha rood by the Northern Pacific the question arose , did that make the lands a part of the public domain , subject to the grant of the Northern Pacific ? The court ansxvers this question In the negative. It holds that ' .ho land was severed frota the mass of the publin domain and that the subsequent cancellation would not restore it to thu public domain so as to relate back to the grant of the Northern Pacific , but only made it a part of the public domain as far as concerned acts passed after cancella tion. Mrs. Bardon's title acquired after cancellation is therefore affirmed and tno case raverscd xvith directions to dismiss the bill. Celebrated Insurance Cane. Too Mutual Life and Connecticut Life In surance companies-today succeeded in secur ing an order from" tbo , supreme court for u new trial in the somewhat celebrated Hil- mon insurance case , this is a case of al- legea attempt to sxvindlo the insurance com panies out of a largo amount of money by palming oil ths bodyof one man for that ot another man on xvhose llfo there were largo policies. * The case ba3 crone-Jthrough all the state courts and attracted .fairly widespread atten tion , oxvmg to tho"pertinacity xvith xvhich each side bad fought. It arose out of the passage by the state ot Tennessee of an act declaring that a woman's property shall not be hud for her hu'sband-'s debts 'unless she consents. Decided Agntnst the Ilcirt. The supreme court today affirmed the Judg ment of tbo lower court. In the case ot Julia Jenkins et ul , 'plaintiffs in error , against William A.

ThOisuit arose over tha fact tnat after the sreneral amnesty Jenkins sold his interest in the property to Collard. His heirs claim that ha had ao right to soli his interest , xvhicti was a reversionary one , tula during his lifo having been sold under the confiscation act. The court holas that by the ( joncral amnestv the disability by xvhlch Jenkins xvas constrained from making any valid transfer of tbo property xvas removed" , and that ho could sell any Interest ho mignt have in it , xvhich happone'd to bo the right of oxynership after his deitb. > ent Bnek fora > "ew Trial. The court also rendered an opinion re versing the decision of tno Texas courts in the case of Count Telfaner , appellant against George W , Russ. Russ had a survey made for 1,000,000 acres of iand be xvas to p'urchaso from tne state of Texas. Before the tiuie for payment arrived ho sold his right in the land to Telfaner for $400,000 , and this suit xvas to force Telfaner to pay the monev. The first question raised , that Russ had no interest in the land to sell , xvas decided , in favor of RU-.S , the court ruling that although title had not passed a valuable right had bean acquired. Oa a second point , that re lating to t be amount of damages , Telfaner xvon , the court holding that error had been committed iu the failaro to produce evidence at the trial by xvhich the jury could have es timated the amount of damage ? . The case is sent back to Texas for a nexv trial. Important Interstate Commerce Dccliloti. A judgment of interest in its construction of xvaat , under the mtorstato commerce act , constitutes an unlaxvful aiscriminaiion , xvas decided by the United States supreme court in the case knoxvn as tbj Baltimore & Ohio theatrical rate case , Involving the ricnt of a railroad companv to sell at tno reduce. ! rate tickets to parties of ten or more persons. The court , in an opinion by Justice Broxvn , sustained the decision of Judge Jackson , re fusing to issue on injunction to restrain the railroad from continuing the sale of party rate tickets. The general jrround of the opinion is that it is an unjust discrimination for a rail road company to sell tickets at xvho'.esalo ' choaner than at retail. The oharce ajramst the Baltimore & Ohio is that it bad violated the interstate commcrco act , first by failure to poll in its o fit cu excursion rales , tbu Baltimore & Ohio Vwtroad msist'ng that advertisement in tha nexv papers xvas all that xvas required ; and , second , by the sale of party rate tickets xvould transport them over its lines ai canu per milo par capita , the rate for a s iulo passenger being about a cents per mliu. Th'e second allegation , xvhiuh is tno one of substantial importance , the commission decided against the Baltimore & Obf * railroad , and xvnea it continued , in disregard of the commission's order , to sell party " -ate tickets , applied to the Uolted States r .art for the Southern district of Ohio for v a issuance of a x-rit of injunction or other process to restrain the Baltimore & Ohio frotn further continuing to sell their tlcifots. AVhen Judge Jackson de- cideu against the conw.ission it brought the case to the United States supreme court , as tno matter xvas regarded as ono of great Im portance. Opinion of the Court. Tbo court , in its opinion sav * : It is not all discriminations thai , fall within the inhabi tation of the statute , such only as are unjust or unreasonable. Fur instance , it xvoula bu obviouslv unjust to charge a greater sum than for a single trip from Washington to Pittsburg , Out if a man a rees not oulv logo , but to returu bv the saws route it Is no in justice to permit him to do so for a i faro , SIMCO the services are cot alike , nor the cir cumstances and conditions substantially sim ilar , as required by suction : > , to make au un just discrimination.
