just what will bo done
As far ns the material advantages of this
larto gathering to the citj nrc concerned ,
the bishop pioferred to have some business
men cxputluto on this point But ho thought
the spiritual result of such i mooting lucil-
cul-vblo It will bo safe to saj that 75 000
visitors will bo In the cltv during the month
of the coufcronco and the natural advan

Rev Dr Maxilcld ono ot the board of

nucstoftho bishop Ho estimated the ex

* 05 000 Thoiowillboa largo nttendnnco
us tno quostlon ot the standing of women in

foretico his nevei been hold in a city where
the Methodist Lplscopal church is so weak ,
nuincricilb nnd llnnneUillj , as It is in
Omaha and th it is the re ison an appeal is
mido to the public and business man and to
sister churches
Iiov J It lioo spolco in a v cry confident
wav of the abilllj of Omaha to entertain the
coufcronco He slated that Geneial Lnvvo
had offered the free use of the Coliseum
building nlfchtand day , during the month of
lho conference Another geutlomnn had
offered to contribute SI 0000 townrd the erection
tion of a temporary buildinf for holding the
session He estimated the number of visi
tors who would piobubli visit Oirnha nt
100 000 , piov Ided the public mind c 111 bo dis
abused of tlio Idea that wo cannot nccom
modnto the crowd
Air John \ \ obstor nnd General Cowin
asked n few * questions , which brought out
the fact that the $05 000 which the bishop
had mentioned as the probable expense of
entertaining the conference was based upon
the fuct that this was ths amount expended
foi the entortalumcnt of the last conference
this amount included transportation which
would put the actu il cost of entertaining the
conference nt about S.H ) 000 The churches
in the citv have arranged for the entertain
lnuntofJiOof the visitois nnd this will
lenvo about three hundred for the citizens to
entertain A conservative estimate placed
tbo probable sum nee led nt ubout $20 000
and the bishop thought that It would bo sulo

Mr Honrj P Clarke snld that ho was ccr
ttiu that the citizens would gladly accommo

foltsjrothat they would fulli endorse any

that the action of the delegates In offering
frco ontortninment for the conference bo en
dorsed
Mr Itosownter related the experience of v
committee sent to Wnshiagtoii to secure the
republican convention in 1SSS It would hnvo
been a hard matter at that tlmo for the city
to have cntartalnad the convention , but
things are different now Ibis matter has
boon settled foi us and wo must now oudorso
this nction , but ho recommouded thnt no

that the city would sustain Its icputatlon for

the I'axlon said the hotels alone oould on
tertaln 2,000 pcoplo without any trouble
it was resolved to draw up n subscription

General Lowe icmarked that ho had heard
that rival cities weio disparaging Omaha's
ability to furnish a suitable building for the
meetings of the conference , und ho had con
sulted i/ith the dlroctors of the Coliseum
association as to the advisability of tender
lug tno use or lho building for the mcotIn.s (
Ilo found the board wore unanimously in

> Uov lr bmithof Count II Uluffs addressed
the meeting and said that if thu commtttco of
seven would guarantee the necessary expense
ponso of tlio conference that would offccuiilli
settle the matter An immense pro sure Is
being brought to bear upon the committee of
bishops , which bus the power to locate the
conference , In case Omaha does uot want It
Chicago is tr > Ing to induce this commission
to locate the conference at that point
After u few informal remarks by members
of the committee Ulshop Nowmaii thanhod
the committee for the uctiou taken J ho
boird of bishops will want some-assurance
that the pronilso made will Do kept , and this
board will mtot soon I here Is a feverish
excitement pervading the church 'lho con

the bishop is anxious to show the pcoplo

A vote of thanks was cxtonded to General
