reading of tbo minutes proceeded. It wa
evident that the conference was settling
down to business lns\stcmaticoider as thoto
wcto towei corrections suggested to the min
utes.
utes.Dr. . C. P Crciphlon moved that some of
the mii-or motions pertaining to the seating of
delegates and other preliminary matters of
nu unimportant nature be stricken from the
record before H was published.
Dr. Ncely of Philadelphia opposed the mo
tion. Ho wanted all the actions of the conference

Dr Belt of Ohio , who sits near the south
door , nioso here and sa > d that something hid
to bo done to piotcct the delegates in lhat
imrt of tuo house from the cold air and tne
Lum and clatter of conversation aud the noise

ing that some restrictions Miould bo placed
upon the tlmo and space allotted to all writ

producing memoirs had ut so-no of the previ
ous confcienccs become a sort of boio , ull out
of tiioportlon nnd entirely inconsistent with
the object , Tno momoira should not bo
blogiaphios. Ha therefore moved that fif
teen minutes , and 110 moie , bo allowed for
presentation of memoirs for each of the dis
tlneulshcd dead.
Dr Leonaul moved that the time bo ex
tended to twoat } tUnutcs.but bo received no
eocond. lie believed that it would be shame
ful to allow onlv fifteen minutes foi the pie
sentation of tuo memoirs of the illustrious
ofllcials of thu chuicn who had passed awav
llo thoupht that fifteen minutes would not
bo enough for u memoir of Di. Bucklov
himself.

bo hcaid bv ell.
Blfhop Fostei said that his voice wouh
not bo v ei } clear or stiong lor a few minute :
but it would improve as ho went on
The readinir of the repoit was nttcndci
tlobcl } b } the delegates and the visitor It
intense interest to the church workers nm
members was attested by the deep attentioi
piven , and many notes were made as particu
larlv impouant points or timely suggestion
wore made. On the tenth page of this morn

impoituut document.
Ill Miming IContlne AV orlt.
A lengthy discussion ensued on tbo ques
tlon of how man } copies of the bishop's ud
dress should be punted. It was llnall.
ordered printed in the Dail } Christian Ad
\ocato and ot her oftlcia ) pipers of the chuich
nnd M.OOU copies were ordered printed ii
pamphlet form , each dolcgato to nave fiv
for distribution among his friends
At this juncture the chairman called th
attention of the conference to the mattct o
D committee on deaconess work , which wa
not decided Tuesday The oiiglmi
motion was that the couuniltci
consist of n minister and ;
lavman from each conference dis
trict and ono moinber at largo A substitute
tuto provided that natters pertaining to th
deaconess work be loft to thu committee 01
state of tbo church. When the matte
was biought up Dr. Pearson move
us nn amendment that tbo commit
tee consist of ono member fini
each conference district and fivoatlatgc
On motion of Dr ljueal the latter was laido
the table nnd after coribideiabio ducussio
tbooiicitml motion prevailed
0r. Kdwards of Michigan offered n resoh
lion piovidlug for the appointment by tb
chair of a special committco on coufeti'nc
claimants to cousibt of six inlaistuis an
tin eo lav men.
Mr. Twindells thought that these matter
should ba referred to thu committee on teir
poral economy
Dr. Hammond of California vvns c
the opinion that tbo matter wti
of exceptional Importance aud shoul
bo considered by n comnilllr
on which all conferences wort' icprosontoc
Ho offered ns a substitute a motion that tb
special eo'umitte'o consist of two delegate
flora each coufereuco district aud onu c
large.
Hi re VVtis Mint for Argument *
The repoit of the board on confcronc
claimants , a length } punted document , we
road bv the secretary , aud the question c
what should uo done with it was again i
turned.
The miik of the cocoanut , so tar ns the
inattci is concerned. Is right hero Some e
the confercncii distucts are rich and have
largo fund on luuid with which to care fc
superannuated aud worn out pteacbers
On tha other band some of the conference
are poor nnd the oxhorte-rs who at o worn ot
in the cause tlnd It prettv rocK } kieddlng , r
thcro Is little money on band \\itn which 1
help them It Is the proposed plan to thro
till tlioconfoioni.es tozother in thU matter nu
make all chip in to a common fun
Thai's whoio Iho rub comes in The ric
conferences don't propose that tl
motior that thov have sured up fi
their own shall be peddled all over tbo fai
of tbo elol'c , not if they can help it Tl
poor follib thinli it would hi a snap and
course ) thov are after it. Th
is why tliero was so much di
tmsslon about it aud it isn't over } (
The f i lends ot the Cia-sus conferences vvai
it all ref cried to tbo committee on temp.ir
cconoim , but the other fellow s protest tb
In th t ca < > Q string with a s\"iio at tha sr.
would bo tied mound its netlc nnd itwou
ncv er onino to Iho surface ) They insist on
kpecinl eoimnlttco , without which they clal
the } will have no share.
'i'ho debate \vaxocl 'ing and loud , and tl

The afternoon session was held at f
MotuodUt church , with BUbop Nm
in the chair. The opening exercises were in
charge of Dr Sprague , president ot the
Wyoming conference seminary. The first
rccular business was the organization of the

favored organlzinp several committees nt
once , and n motion wa uiado to that effect
Others maintained that only ono committee
should be 01 panizod at n tune , slnco by the
former course delegates who vveie on several
committees would not ba nulo to take part In
the organization of mote than ono 1 ho lat
ter Idea prevailed and the committco on epis
copacy was appointed first
