The sentiment In favor of the conference
commltteo plnn has been (rowing steadily,
chiefly on npqount pf the persistent light
made for lt jy tne Colorado delegation un
der Tom PaUrson'a leadership. Chairman
Kdmlaten of Nebraska has Joined the antl
nomination forces since morning and other
victories upon which reliance. Is placed by
those who arc .predicting "-reference to a con
ference committee, nre, ntst, tho selection of
Tom Patterson for permanent chairman, and
second, tho report of the committee on rules
and order of business which, when submitted
tomorrow, will -recommend as one order the
nomination of d' candidate for president, and
third, the taking of action on the vice pres
idential question.- This will make It pos
sible, if the report be adopted In that form,
to refer to a conference commltteo without
suspension of the rules.
It is xlnlmed that practically all tf the
Nebraska delegation favors tho confer"
plan, a portion Of Kansas,- all of Mlfsonrl,
Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Colorado,
Ohio, Oklahoma, lowu and Idaho and por
tions of other delegations. Texas leads tho
fight against it. Senator Allen Is vigorously
opposing a nomination nt this time and de
clares that oven If Townc. the apparent
favorite, Is nominated by tho populists now
tho democrats will not- endorse him at

"I feel that It Is ray duty to state a few
facts concerning the party's history slnco
tho last national convention, it is wen
that more or less dissatisfaction re
sulted from the unpleasant but seemingly
unavoidable episode of two vice presldon-
tliil candidates In the last campaign, a lew
men took advnntago of tuts aissausiacnou
tn nnnnal to an honest sentiment, or shall
I say. prejudice, to" create a seism In the
party. They charged that there; was a
conspiracy on foot, headed by rayeeir, us
your national chairman, to deliver the party,
hac and baggage, to the democratic organlza-
tlon. In the spring of 1898 Jhey loudly
dsmanded a meeting of tho national com
mittee 'to save tbo party.' The said that
i. im vour chairman, should call tucni to
cethcir and let tho committees from each
stnto outllno a policy for tho party until
the next national convention. ou all re
member that I called a meeting of tho na
tlonal commltteo in the summer of 1808 nt
nmnha. I did it to give those eeu-con-
Btltuted leaders a chanco to ho heard
and to glvo tbo full committee of
ihn nnrtv an nnnortutilty to act after
hearing their grievance. You all know
thu result. These self-constituted pa
triots demanded, at the rom'mlttco meet
Ing, that a resolution should be passod
declaring that the next national convention
of the people's party should bu held at least
ono month ahead, of that '01 tno oia party
conventions.
"In tho Interest of harmony. ar.d In order
to meet these dlMsatlsflcd scH-conatltuted
patriots, tho committee accepted their re-io
Union and passed It '. unanimously. This
resolution has s"lnce been known as tho
Omaha agreement. 'ou nll' know tho result

try above party and do whatever patriotism
demands and honor will permit to win a
victory for the people and for the republic.

CHICAGO, May !). Kneeling as In the at-
tltudo of prayer has ceased to be exaction
n tho Methodist church. The book of dls-
Ipllnc recognizes the bending of the knee,
hut the city churches hnve gradually been
drifting Into the more unconventional bow
ing of the head. The custom ef Wesloy pre-
alls for the most part only In the country.
Delegate Tyndnll of Nebraska Is a be
liever In the devout kneellug form nnd to-
lay sought to correct the tendency" of tho
atter-day Methodists In departing from the
ancient custom by Introducing a resolution
In tho general conference. The conference
refused to declare "we are as wuch ns over
n favor of observing" th kneeling attitude.
The effective argument wns presented by a
city minister, who said:
"We would h..vt to rebuild our chnrcheJ.
'cw space Is too contr.-u fi-i? to permit of
kneeling."
Tho Ncbrnska preacher rose to urge tho
adoption of his views, but the conference
clamored for n vote nnd the more easy
method, leaning of the body toward the back
of tho pew In observance, wns ndopted.
The action of Bishop MeCnbc In refusing
o maintain nn episcopal rcsldenco In his
district has resulted in an effort to compel
he effective bishops not only to reside In
their district hut to confine their operations
o circumscribed limits.
A movement developed nt tho opening of
the general conference n week ngo has gained
momentum nnd promises to end in making
ho bishop a diocesan officer. The episcopal
residence has been one In name rather than ,
n fact, on account of the traveling chnracter
of the work of the officer. The committee on
episcopacy today debated nn order from one
of Its subcommittees calling upon tbo
hlshops to live and work within tho district
o which they nro assigned.
Tho board of bishops, under tho order. Is
to assign Its effective men for work In for
eign fields and others to he assigned to dis
tricts in the United States.
l.lfflp CIiiiiipp for Mnrp lllsliniis.
The numerous candidates for episcopal
honors nre becoming unxlous over the near
ness of the election nnd the failure of the
cr-mmlttee on episcopacy to render any ad
ditions to tho number of bishops. The sub
ject hits been referred to a subcommittee,
whloh has not met. Tho commltteo will
have only ono other meeting beforo tho elcc-
lons begin Monday, Before it can make its
report tho committee on non-effcctlve
bishops must report nnd If tho latter rec
ommends the retirement of Bishops Mer
rlam and Andrews, ns anticipated, another
prolonged discussion will he precipitated.
The commltteo will advise that ono of the
bishops be a colored man.
The laymen of the northern and westorn
districts todny brought out Dr. Robert
Forbes, a presiding elder In the southern
Minnesota conference, as a candidate for
bishop. Dr. H. W. Bennett of Indiana Is
also being mentioned for a place on the
bench of bishops.
Tho Book Concern hns made a. report on
osses and gains of the quadrcnnlum In re
sponse to the resolution of a week ngo. Tho
reports show that on threo of tho church
papers earned a profit the Kpworth Herald,
tho Christian Advocate of New York and the
Pittsburg Christian Advccate. The North
western Advocate of Chicago shows a de-
flti"of fc7,4M. The total lesses, including
subsidies, were $108,023.

Mr. Stowo visited Oencrnl Cronjc, who at

Oencrnl Cronje expressed a wish to see Mr.
Stowe, and declared himself well snIUIIed

remarks- that ho talked freely with the other
prisoners, and the universal statement wns
that thoy were well cared for and were Fat
lolled with their treatment. They were fur
nished by tho British authorities with
clothes, had good sea bathing, the rations of
a British soldier, but ns they have so many
friends nml relatives In tho colony, which
tho British prl(mers at Pretoria lack, they
become recipients of mnny pi Clients of what
may bo called luxuries In n prisoner's or
