WAPHIXOTOV. O. C. , Oct. 15. Hcv. Dr.
Donnelly of the Irish Methodist church pro-
tided ever the ecumenical council today.
The first business was the further consid
eration of the report of the business commit
tee on the response to the memorial on the
Methodist federation , and Dr. Stophcnson ,
on behalf of the committee , made an explan
ation of the purpose in reporting the resolu
tions and suggested a few alterations in the
original text ,
In debate over the resolutions Dr. Leonard
of Now York Insisted upon recognition by
the chnir , although the lloor had already
been accorded Dr. King.
Disorder mid ConliiHlon ISnsned.
A scene of disorder ensued and nothing
could bo done in the way of business. Con-
tldcrublo warm feeling was shown as Dr.
Leonard still persisted in claiming the lloor.
The disorder was swelled and the Urittsh
delegates indignantly protested against the
interruption of the proceedings. Dr. Leon
ard finally abandoned his effort to make a
point of order , and Dr. King moved to ad
journ debate on the resolution until tomorrow.
Carried.

Hov. M. T. Olorsof the Primitive Metho

The next speaker was Hov. N. L. Fisko of
Albion , Mich. , his special subject being
"Homanlsm as n Political Power. "

'I he olllelency of the O.ithollo ehurch as a

The political vitality of Itomanlsm , however ,
is becoming depleted , Thnre are Intelligent
Catholics In this country who nlalnlv see that
if tlieehureh Is to lloiiilsh and let the most
out of times as they sweep onward , she must
not waste her energies In an unciiua ! tight
\\lth rnllKhtonod and progressive ch Illzatlon ,
1ml that she must clasp hands with It and
make It her ally.
Hev. Dr. Nicholas of the Irish Methodist
Episcopal cnurch delivered nn address on
"Itomanlsm n Hellglous power. " Ho said ho
admitted at once and without hesitation that
there is much that is true and much that is
coed In the Church of Homo ; and ho desired
tliib admission to modify so far as may bo
necessary his further statements in bis ad-
Oross.
Home [ ho said ] Is Intolerant , but In one dl-
roi'lon only. Intolerant to Independent

ones ImlH'ddod In ecclesiastical history and In
the Sixes of the saints. There aio many cor
ruptions In discipline. In addition theionto
corruptions in moral teaching , The morality
of Homo has been vitiated by the way In
which the papal court has played fast and
looMt with morality , by Its Indnlceni'es und
dispensations
Home uses expediency and often lets It do-
poiipraU' Into deception. lEome IIUH addressed
Itself lo the eniniil ctavlngfor niMtermllsilo
leall/allonsof InvlslliUi things. Tlm result of
Koine's teaching on thewhole Is , and has been ,
rvll. She has given the nations a cheerless
religious life ; she has exalted asceticism In
opposition to Christianity , a religion of joy ,
und Methodism , the nrlghtcst form of L'hrls-
tliinlty. Shu bus led many to skepticism , the
natural rebound from superstition. Hho 1ms

"Legal Prohibition of the Saloon" was the
subject treated by Hov. C. II. Pnllllpj of the
Colored Methodist Episcopal church. Wash-
tigton. The government should no longer
snnctlon a trnfllo that was in compact with
the dovll and In covenant with boll.
As Dr. AntolifTc of England , who was
charged with the third address was ill , Hov.
lames Ptekottot the Primitive Church of
England , delivered an address upon the sub
ject. Ho hold that primarily the temperance
question was spiritual and moral. It had
also a political character.
Itlshop Unities , of the African Methodist
Episcopal church , said that If the southern
colored people broke up the whisky tnifllc
they would do as much good as the northern
mon who broke up slavery. The liquor traftio
was doing moro harm to the negroes than to
the whlto mon , because the latter got n bettor
quality of whlakv. I Laughter. )
Hex * . John Simmons , of the Methodist

Hov. .1 II. Lcciavood "of Kansas thought
the liquor men made their mistake when

Hov. Samuel M. CJrlnith of North Dakota
told how prohibition had been secured in
North Dakota ,
Hov. Philip A. Herbert. African Meth
odist Epbcojial church , Denver , Colo. , nnd
Kov. Samuel McComas of Dublin , Ireland ,

anco reform.
Hon. .1. J. Hogorson of Now Foundland ,
wanted the euuriih to go forth In the light
and cloio cverv liqiiorstorc In the world.
Mr. John II. LHo of England held that
Wesley's ruins obliged ministers to bo total
abstinanco mon and ho insisted on that
proposition notwithstanding Mr. Atkinson's
dissenting voice.
CJooU Itllrio ChrlNtlnn.
Mr. Atkinson. M. P. , got the floor for him
self ana Insisted that Mr. Llle Tnlsquoted
Wesley ; that ho prohibited only dram drink
ing. Ho [ Air. Atkinson ] was as good n blblo
Christian as anybody , and ho was a Primi
tive Methodist , too. Mr. Atkinson went on
to speak of the Primitive Methodists in con
nection with "Impostors , " which immedi
ately stirred the indignation of the delegates
from that church. One of them rose to n
point of order that the speaker hud called
the Primitivo. Methodists impostors and
wanted the words.retracted.
Mr. Atkinson denied that ho had done so
and bogged tbo presiding olllccr to "Unock
him down" meaning of course to rap tbo
interrupter to ordor.
This lead 10 great confusion. The Primitive
tivo Methodists were all on their foot de
manding a retraction and threatening to
withdraw from the conference. Dr.
Stopuonson and other Woslyans were beseeching -
seeching Mr. Atkinson to withdraw his
remarks and apologue , but ho bluntly refused
to do so , assorting that ho had done nothing
to apologl/.o for ; that if the delegates would
: ; ot consume his time ho would explain. As
they persisted on their demand Tor retraction
ho characterised their stupidity in forcible
terms and seeing no chance of restoring
harmony the presiding ofllcor , who had
exhausted every effort to calm the troubled
waters , declared the session adjourned and
the delegates passed out of the church , after
Muging the Doxology.

is now quiet hero. The revolt was n com
plete llnsco. It Is calculated that the rebels ,
who were dispersed , numbered 0,000 in all.
These who were mudo prisoners were taken
to the penitentiary to bo trlod by a Judge
for their crime. Arrests continue to bo
made. The revolutionists Intend to put for
ward Dr. Thomas Goncsoro for president ,
Dr. Jose Hawscn Mcndosn for minister of the
interior , Colonel Kllngor for minister of war
and Dr. Dtlrlngso Terra for minister
of the treasury. The center of
the revolt was the village of Union ,
four miles east of Montevideo. The
light artillery was stationed there under
Colonel Martinez. As previously cabled ho
was considered by the conspirators friendly
to their causa This belief wns encouraged
by the free Ingress to und across " from the
barracks permitted by the govern
ment. The plans of the dlsallected
were thus developed under the very
eyes of the authorities , who were
sure of their aolltty to entrap the rebels and
suppress the uprising as soon as an emer
gency arose.
After the races were over on last Sunday
Dr. Dnrlngoso Terra , ox-cabinet minister ,
nnd DrPonta Leon Pore/ and others went
to the barracks of Colonel Martinez. The
hour of uprising had been decided upon as 10
o'clock.
Colo'iel Martinez refused to turn ever his
troops nnd declared all of the conspirators
present under arrest. Then it was that Dr.
Pore/ , seeing that himsclt and his companies
had been entrapped , tiled to escape
and was instantly killed. The others
saved tholr lives by surrendering.
Meantime n battalion of the Fourth
infantry met the populace near the National
club nt Union and in the street light which
ensued Captain Arias wns killed nnd three
soldiers were wounded A well known auc
tioneer and two other citt/ons were killed and
live others were wounded. The news reached
Montevideo at 10:30 : just as the theaters
were being omptlod. All the cafes were
closed forthwith and the streets were
patrolod by the soldiers and police. Gun
boats were Kept running up und down
the coast at'nU'ht to prevent the
landing of ex-Dictator La Terre from
Buenos Ayros. No further disturbance
however , occurred. Among the rumors nlloat
was ono that the rebels had planned to de
clare La Terre dictator , but La Terre from
Buenos Ayrcs sends n denial of any partici
pation iu the uprising. As I also cabled you ,
it had boon arranged to assassinate
Dr. J. Ilorrarara Y Obeos , the president , by
twenty Sicilians under the leadership of the
Italian who murdered Dr. Huedor. President
Obes , however , was aware of the murderous
plot. lie passed the night at Cablldo with
his cabinet and General Muraino Tajos , his
picdeccssor in the presidency and now in
control of the army. The movement lacked
popularity either in this city or In the
country , and so little importance was at
tached to it that business was uninterrupted.

Dunux , Oct. 15. A convention of the Irish
National federation was held at Cuvan today.
There were numerous priests among the del
egates. The meeting was presided over by
Timothy M. Hcaly , the member of parlia
ment for North Longford. In his preliminary
address ho said :
The members of the Irish national parly
are not concerned with eulogies over the dead
hut the Interest of tlio living. Let the dead
past bury Its dead. Mr. I'arnell has ponu to
his account , and these honorliu his services
to thu nation thought that the best memorial
would ho to push on the nork In which ho was
engaged before the clouds Intervened
uotncon his vision and the host goal
of Ireland. Her real sons were not
afraid to face public clamor. Whatever
happened ho would never apologise fordoing
what he could against I'arnell when he found
that the country's Interest demanded him lo
retire from the leadership of the majority.
Ho hoped that dissensions would ho interred
In his grave The note for renewed war came
from the minority ami not from them , Thu
majority continued to bo willing to overlook
the ucth and calumnies of their opponents ,
because they were not lighting on personal
questions , but national ones. If .Mr. 1'arnoll
knew where he was going In opposing the ma
jority , thusu mon did not , nor aid they know
the forces they were unloosing or the consequence
quence of their action upon the destinies of
their country. They said : "Wo cannot
shako hands with you. ' They never scorned to
contemplate the foelln.'S of these offering to
shako hands with them Wo might he Ilko
these starving American trappers , who , you
remember , "could eat crow hut did not hanker
after .t. " If thu minority felt unable to co
operate with us lot them resign their heats ,
giving them * no mandate to perpetuate
feud. Their position was dogradltnr , not only
asdofylng thu constituencies of Ireland , but
In the fact that thuv had not oven the prostl-
tiito'n shamo. because they gloried In tholr In

Dillon und O'llrlen. So stiipendiionseru
tholr audacities that he really hc-'an to won
der weio they were standing , llo hoped that
O'llrlen wou'd now publish to the uorld the
whole story of the HonloRiio negotiations. If
thu letters ho had contalnlnt : lopeaied decla

drill serueantH of dissension , were published ,
ho promised such an exposure as probably hits
never been known In rcpird to thu public mun
and pooploof Iialnml , He could forgive I'ar
nell ; Indeed ho believed ho had already for
given him. lluttlioio men piotrtnlln to be

CHICAGO , III. , Ock 13. "If I can't keep
faith with the newspapers of this country ,
whoso representative T am , nnd the expos !
lion company as well,1 ' 1 will stop down and
out , " said Moses P. Handy , chief of the de
partment of publicity and promotion of the
World's fair , today.
"It is the opinion of several directors , " ho
continued , "that the department of publicity
should bo conducted In secrecy. If tnis is
tno spirit of the enterprise then I uru out of
place.1'
Major Handy was speaking In reference to
the newspaper reports that several members
of the local directory were dissatisfied with
the way in which tno department of pub
licity and promotion was conducted and
were going to attempt to have the depart
ment abolished.
"There has been no complaint filed against
ray department and I have no Idea there will
bo , " said tbo major. "Some weeks ago the
directory desired an investigating committee
to look over the work of eacn department
and then make a report. I was glad of this
because It gave mo an opportunity of show
ing what my department was accomplishing.
When I came to Chicago to take hold of the
work every director impressed upon mo the
importance of booming' the fair in the news
papers und advertislng'lt in every way pos
sible. I Hatter myself that no exposition
has over been better attended to In this
regard , and i moan to have the press taken
care of during the exposition. Finally , some
of the mon who were most eager to scatter
tbo news broadcast at the start , thought
that the newspapers were finding out too
much and wanted the fair run with closed
doors. I am not hero to suppress things , and
If the fair should bo run on the star chamber
plan I am out of my place. "
According to President Palmer the board
of control will take no action looking toward
the abolition of the department.
Only ono man on the local directory was
disposed to abolish Major Handy's depart
ment. tie has boon informed that the na
tional bourd thinks the department should
continue.
The board of control mot today and con
sidered the director general's ' report on the
expenses , department's otc. Work upon the
{ 5,000,000 loan bill will bo taken up at the
Joint session of the board of conference and
control tomorrow.

DES MOISTS , la. , Oct. 15. [ Special to TIIK
BKB.J ThU morning ended the annual ses
sion of the convention of the Iowa division
of tbo National Farmers alliance. It closed
with a complete victory for the noupartlsan
element In the struggle against that faction
which desired to turn the nlllanco over to the
third party movement. But it was at the
expense of considerable force in the way of
membership , the extreme radical element ,
headed by S. W. Fairchild , defeated
candidate for president , withdrawing
in a body aud casting their for
tunes with the Southern , or Na
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union.
"Calnmlty" Wcllor romnincd loyal to the
organization-
No very determined effort was made this
morning to siicuro the endorsement of any of
the hobbles of the third pirtyltos , as the
radicals hud evidently dotcrmined over night
on their withdrawal. It was made quite
plain to thorn yesterday that the nonpartlsau
element did not Intend to stand any further
foolishness about the sub-treasury or ether
features of the Ocaln platform , and that any
fusion with the Southern alliance was out of
the question. In the election of state ofliccrs
the nonpartlsan element was eornplelely
victorious , nnd the vote on the proposition
of the Southern alliance Tor a coalition on the
basis of endorsement of the Ocaln platform ,
was decisive. This left only the adop
tion of the report of the committee
on resolutions as mi object of con
troversy. The report was road last night
Just prior to adjournment and the third party
element unow what to look for when the
convention assembled thU morning.

But Woller wouldn't quit then. Ho moved

quite probable that n largo number of the

turer , closed the session with an an earnest
appeal for harmony In the ranks. He ex
horted the members to put forth renewed
efforts to build up the organl/ation thiough-
out the state. Ho showed how the conserva

It to the farmers who had as yet withhold
themselves from membership , and nvgued
that action taken like that today would tend

to the local ulllanco as the publisher of a

The resolutions as reported and adopted
endorse the Ocatu aud Cincinnati platforms
and denounce the State Executive board for
not increasing the assessment of railroad

'iho afternoon session was largely devoted
to the initiation of some llfty boiling dele
gates lo the nonpartisan alliance. These
include S. M. Fail-child of Dickinson , the de
feated candidate for president and nearly
all of the third party loaders accent Woller
who still remains loyal mainly on account of
