CHICAGO, May 28. At tonight's seslon
of the Methodist general conference the re
port of the committee on episcopacy was
adopted In Its entirety, Omaha, however,
being substituted as an episcopal residence
Instead of Topoka, the location originally
recommended. Bishop McCabo was assigned
as tho bishop resident.
After refusing to allow Bishop Walden
tho prlvllcgo of stating his (Ide of the con
troversy with tho Wisconsin conference, tho
delegates voted almost unanimously to
adopt tho report of the committee on epis
copacy, censuring him for his action In re
fusing to accept n delegation of preachers
or to receive n petition from them. Illshop
Waldon's friends mndo a bitter struggle to
prevent the parage of the censuring mcas
tire. They tried to obtain for him the prlvi
lege of addressing the conference, but they
were howled down. He was finally allowed
to fllo with tho secretary n written state
ment of his defense, but this was permitted
only on condition that the Wisconsin con
ference bo given similar permission.
Illshop Randolph 8. Foster, retired, fared
poorly likewise. His friends made an effort
to havo him excepted from the provision
adopted by tho committee allowing superan
minted general superintendents one-half of
the salary of tho last year of their effective
service. Despite the eloquent picas made In
behalf of the bishop tho vote against tho
exception wns overwhelming.
.No (.'nmiirc for .HoKlnlry.
Criticism of President McKlnley for
Ills attltudo In regard to Attorney Gen
oral Griggs' Interpretation of the antl
canteen law was overwhelmingly voted
down by tho Methodist general con
ferenco today after two hours of warm de
bate. Tho matter was brought up by the
presentation of the report if tho committer
on temperance, of. which Samuel Dlcklo of
Michigan, candidate for president on tbc
prohibition ticket In 1892, is chairman. Tho
majority report arraigned the chief mag
Intrato severely. Tho conference finally
adopted tho minority report, which excluded
tho paragraphs referring to tho chief magis
trate, but which, however, called upon him
to use his lnllucnco to secure the passago
of tho now anti-canteen law now pending
before congress.
Tho nniusotnoiil. question was also dls
posed of today, but In rather an unexpected
wny. By a majority of only thrco votes
tho minority report, accepted Saturday, was
laid on the table, but any attempt to take
up tho majority report was frustrated by
Illshop Fitzgerald ruling that it wan not
beforo the conference, and It Is not be
llcved that any further attempt will bo
made to tnko tho matter up. Thus tho con
ferenco In effect has taken no action In re
gard to the ban placed upon certain lornw
of nmuswnent.
Tim utllclal vote by which tho mi
nority report was accepted recommending
no action was nnnounced ns 333 ayes and
290 nays. Then, to tho surprise of the large
audience, on motion of Dr. Buckley, tho
minority report was laid on tho tablo by a
vote of 256 to 253.
Samuel Dlcklo of Michigan then presented
tho report of tho committee on temperance
nnd for tho first time the great Methodist
body took on a strong political appearance.
Tho majority report contained a strong
arraignment of President McKlnley and At
torney General Griggs for their attitude on
tha antl-cantecn law, and over thlo point
tho conference debated all morning.
Principle". Xot IVi-xomilltli-s.
Dr. J. I2.Prlco of New York presented the
minority report, which Btruck out all of the
majority report In which President McKln
ley was condomned.
"Wu are hero to deal In principles and
not Indulge In personalities," said Dr. Price,
amid vigorous applause "This Is not simply
a question of whether or not the president
of tho United States Is at fault. I hold that
tho cause of temperance and prohibition and
tho cause of the church of Christ cannot be
advanced by this personal arraignment of
our chief magistrate."
Judge Lore of Delaware, In opeaklns In
favor of tho minority report, paid a strong
tribute to tho president, with whom lit
served four years In congress. "I love his
elemental manhood," said Judgo Lore, "and
I hopo the Methodist church will not strike
down one of tho most loyal mca within Us
borders."
Dr. A. n. Leonard made an Impassioned
plea for tho adoption of the majority re
port. "We hear much about government by
Injunction," ho eald, "but this la govern
ment by an opinion of a member of the
president's club. I cannot shut ny eyes to
tho faults even of the chief magistrate of
tho nation."
Hov. It. D. Lynch of Philadelphia, Itev.
F. N. Lynch of West Virginia, Governor
Shaw of Iowa and Dr. Buckley also toak
part In tho debate
Dr. Iluckloy offered an amendment to the
minority report, which was accepted by Dr.
Price, which among other things appealed
to tho president to use all his Influence to
promote the passago of the amended antl
cantecn Taw now before congress,
l'l'O ton! AunlllNt Attncn.
Dr. Frank 11. Bristol of Washington,
President McKlnlcy's pastor, aroused tro
mendous applause by protesting against
what he termed an "unbrotherly. unjust,
unpatriotic, unprotestant attack upon the
president of tho United States. Ho Is today
tho most distinguished Christian layman in
tho world."
"I object to any man making a cam
paign speech," shouted a delegate, but h
was promptly ruled out or orucr. ur
Bristol gavo an International nispect to tho
debate by asking why tho delegates from
Germany, Italy, Great Britain, China,
Japan and other countries should Join In
an attack upon the president of the United
States.
Mr Dlcklo then closed tho debate. "This
Is not a partisan issue," he said. "The great
Methodist church, rather than tho president
Of tho United States, Is on trial."
The minority report, with Dr. Buckley's
amendment, was then adopted by an over
whelming vote, with the further amendment
that the action wp not In tho Interest of
any political party.
Tho afternoon session was devoted to
hearing reports from the various commit
ter on business heretofore crowded out.
The committee on book concern reported
in favor of continuing the annual sub-
sidles to the Pacific Christian Advocate,
but giving the book commltteo discretion
ary powers to discontinue the publication
should tho expenditure continue to .exceed
tho subsidies. Various other small subsi
dies were recommended to church papers
published In foreign languages, all of which
wero approved by the conference.
Dr. Neely had Inserted in tho report of
tho committee on church extension a pro
vision that no money collected for church
extension be used for the loan fund, for
which point ho has been fighting for eight
years.
Conference- I" Prnetlenlly Over.
The Board of Bishops also announced the
appointment of the various pormanent com
mittees and boards of the church. Thoro
wero but few changes in their personnel.
With three buslners sessions today the
quadrennial conference of tho Mothodlst
Episcopal church, which for a month pest
has been sitting here, practically came" to
'i close. The actual adjournment doe not
take placo until tomorrow, but tomorrow's
session is expected to be but little more
than a formality and many of the dele
gates left for their homes tonight.
