olete.
Dr. Hunt wanted the committee on
the Book Concern to make the revision
and then report their action to the con
ference. A resolution was introduced declaring
that there should be two assistant secre
taries elected for the Freedmen's Aid
and Southern Education society, and
that at least one colored man should bo
elected aa an assistant secretary,
A resolution was introduced favoring
the amalgamation of the Freedmen's
Aid and Southern Education socioty aud
the Educational Society.
A resolution was introduced that the
Freedman's Aid anil the Southern Edu
cation society be requested to make a
searching investigation of the cause for
its increased debt.
The conference decided to go to Lin
coln next Saturday in accordance with
previous arrangements.
Bishop Newman presented a com
munication from the Young Men's Chris
tian association pertaining to a religious
exhibit at the world's fair,
Constitutional Itevlstoa.
Dr, Goncher did not agree with the
conclusions of the constitution com
mission. Referring to the adoption of
the plan of lay representation in lr-72 he
laid that the second restrictive rule
was so amended as to admit laymen, and
they were, therefore, seated constitu
tionally. Dr. V. It. Lristoi of Chicago
held that there was no such thing as
the constitution of the general confer
ence apart from the constitution of the
Methodist Episcopal chnrch. The con
ference was the creature of the chnrch,
not the church the creature of the con
ference. 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 in tlio conference hold their
eats by statutory enactment," said Dr.
Bristol. This conference can atany time,
by Htatnt'i-v enactment admit equal lay
reprcst r I -i." Applause.
"Home ..1,1 unreasonable and revolu
tionary statements have been made by
Dr. Kynett," said Judge Lawrence.
There was no difference betwoen the or
ganic law of the church and the consti
tution of the church, Organic law con
sisted of those parts of the church gov
ernment that could not be changed by
a statutory enactment made by the gen
eral conference without concurrent
action on the part of the annual confer
ences, and constituted the constitution
of the chnrch. He agreed with Dr.
Bristol in the statement that the consti
tution of the church embraced the con
stitution of the general conference, but
he held that the plan of lay representa
tives did not depend nion the statutory
enactment, for one of the restrictive
rules had lieen changed constitutionally
to admit the laymen. They held their
seats by constitutional right, not by
Statutory amendment.
Dr. Kynett wanted the floor then to
contradict the statement made by
Jwlue Lawrence with regard to his rev
olutionary statements, but Her, Dong
las of Indiana had the floor by right of
priority in springing into the arena. A
heated contest followed between Dr.
Kynett and several others who thought
that he should not allow himself to
catch fire because some one bad said
that his s jieech of the previous day was
revolutionary. Dr. Kynett was not
granted the privilege of the floor.
ltev, Douglas occupied his ten min
utes in generalities and in closing moved
that the first section of the report thon
under discussion be laid on the table.
Declared to be out of order in the form
proiiosed.
Mr J. H. Murry of Pennsylvania
closed a vigorous speech by saying.
"The plan may have lacked some of the
elements of constitutionality, but it was
a legislative enactment and it is a part
of our church law. It can be amended.
It is capable of improvement. All
human law is. The laymen should and
will lie given equal representation in the
general conference."
The discussion was suspended to
make a change in the arrangements for
the reception of fraternal dologates.
The discussion was resumed and after
Dr. Neely, Dr. Kidgway, Dr. l'eck and
Dr. Potts had spoken Dr. Kynett got the
floor. He proceeded to a refutation of
the remarks that had been made the day
before by Dr. Buckley with reference to
his inconsistent attitude, and also re
plied to the speech of Judge Lawrence.
Dr. Kynett declared that there was no
such thing as the constitution of the
general conference. It was the consti
tution of the Methodist Episcopal
church. If this document was simply
the constitution of the general confer
ence then there were thousands of min-
ve yearn.

San Fiiancisc'O, May 13. From pas
sengers on the Mariposa it was learned
that on the 2th instant the Hawaiian
legislature will meet, and thnt the nmst
important subject to come before that
body will Tie the question of annexation
to the United States. The proposition
seems to meet with favor, and it is not
considered a hard matter to determine
the outcome if the legislature submits
the question to the people. The sugar
planters are working for annexation and
are using all means to carry it to a suc
cessful issue, if the final vote of the in
habitants of the islands is necessary to
insure its success. When the legislature
meets the matter will be brought before
it at tho earliest possible date, but con
siderable time will he likely to elapse
before it is finally disposed of.

South of Ends bridge for a distance of

houses in that locality are filled wit h
water, and merchants have been com

higher stage than for years, surpassing
tho high water of 19N3, and the prospects
for still higher waters are exceedingly
flattering. Tho river is only four inches

Kanha City, May 13. Another
heavy rain set in about 8 o'clock and in
addition to this the rivers are rising and
sending a flood down. The Kaw,
swelled with an immense volume of
water, has overflowed its banks and Is
running three feet deep over the stock
yards of the Kansas City packing
houses, Tho Klngan company's packing
house has three ftet of water in the
basement, and work has 1een suspended.
The Fowler packing house is also in
trouble, and the hogs are swimming
around in the yards, as the water came
np so suddenly that it was impossible to
get them out in time.
The danger line has been passed and
the flood is increasing evory minute,
The Missouri river is now a raging tor
rent and the town of Harlem is being
covered. The signal oflicial sent a
warning messenger to that place at 9
o'clock and told tho inhabitants to get
out as quickly as possible and the exo

ing all over the low lands across tht
river and the bottoms are covered by tho
backwater which has come in behind
the dykes of the railroads. All the low

now under water and in many cases the
people were taken from their houses in
boats, while several were compelled to
wade through water tip to their waists.
