WRANGLING OVER A COMMITTEE'S ' WORK flic Mull wllli nn Anti-Secret Soclrty Itco- lutlon Ulril Carly In the Mglit Sumo InterestingjiK'fttlniM to Ito Considered. The muscular arm of Bishop Wnlden wielded tha g < ivcl yostordny morning at the Methodist conference. Hov. Jotso Kllpatrlelc of the Detroit con ference led In the devotional exorcises. Ho rend the twelfth chapter of Itonuitu. The conference sang a hymn that U u special fuvorito with Bishop Foss. Tbo opening lines nro : "O Thou In whoso presence My scul tanci delight. " The tones of a piano were added to the chorus of male voices , nnd tno morning hymn sounded moro Illto music than any thing yet attempted by the conference. After the Journal had boon rend nnd cor rected Secretary Monroe requested nil dele gates to notify him of errors in the D.illy Advocate to that nil errors could bo col rcctcd In thn manual. Dr. Parker of Indiana moved that the readIng - Ing ot Bishop Thoburn's report bo llxoj for Friday at 10 o'clock. Carried.

A committee on conference boundaries was added to the list of committees to bo ap pointed. Dr. Earl Cranston requested authority to present the report of the XX'ostorn book con cern , lie wns authorized to present it to the proper commltlvo. ile also presented the re port of tno board of trustees. Dr. Necly moved thut the conference resume - sumo the formation of committees. It was carried. On Conference Claimants. Hev. W. L.

Ho talked about Iho work of the com mission on conference claimants , the report of which cntno before tbo conference to bo referred cither to a special or standing com mit'1" ' heosa oronco Ilnnllv decided to refer the rcuo.i , vu iho committee on temporal econ omy. Itrcepllon lor Dr. Monlton. Dr. L. H. Flsk of Michigan arose to n question of privilege. He stated that Dr. Monlton , fraternal delegate from England , would bo ouligcd to leave for homo on Mon day next. Ho wanted tin evening act aside for a rcecplion to be tendered the dlsttn- KUlshcd delegate from England. A long discussion nroso over the selection of u tlmo for holding this reception. Dr. Hunt , repriK-etiting thn book concern , pro- lionecl to civo up tha evening set niide for the Interests of that branch for the reception ol Dr. Moulton. The conference decided to dc this. Dr. Moulton will bu received by thu conference this evcninc. Work Tor Judiciary Committee. Then a discussion arose over the work to bo nsRlgned to the judiciary cotr.tmtteo. Dr. Nocly moved tb-it tbo bishops bo re quested to'uppolnt the Judiciary committee , consisting of fifteen , one from each of the general conference districts and one ut-liirgo. Dr. D. H. Moore , editor of the Western Chrlnlnn Advoc.ito. offered a substitute to have the judiciary committed appointed by the delogatcs from the general conference districts. After a rnther forcible speech upon the subject by Dr. Mooio , Bishop Foitor arosr and requested the delegates not to refo tc the bishops in the discussion. Dr. J. M. UtiPkloy of the Christian Advo cate , Now York , combated the position taken by Dr. Mo'oro. Dr. Buckley held that tlu judiciary committee would not bo called upon to pass upon any of the ucls of discretion on the part of the bishop * and it would , there fore , bo perfectly proper for the bishops u appoint the judiciary committee. Dr. Buckley culled into question some ol thu historic statements made by Dr. Moon with icgard to Iho appointment of judicial' } committee.1 ; . "I didn't co back that far. " spoke up Dr , Moore. "That wns two years before I was born. You could not expect mo to remembci - things that happened before 1 was born. " No Limit to Memory , "Not as a matter of personal conscious ness , sir , would wo expect you to remomboi things thftt occurred before you were born , " replied Dr. Buckley , "but ns n mutter of his torlc fact you should go bacit in memory evct : to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. " [ Laugh ter and npplause.J Dr. Buckley declared that ho did not can whether ho agreed with the bishops or not but he believes that the bishops should ap point the Judiciary committeo. The btsbon ! Btood In the broad light of day and were pul upon their honor with reference to appoint montof Ibis committee. Dr. Pullman , ot the Now York East con ference , favored tbo Idea of having the Judiciary committee appointed by the con feronca districts. Ho believed that tin church had been drifting too much toward i hierarchy. A part of the work of tin Judiciary committee would uo to pass upoi the decisions of the bishops upon question ! of law , and Dr. Pullman thought It was nol consistent to lliivo the bishops appoint this committee. Dr. A. B. Leonnrd of New York made i ringing speech in which ho took the grount that Iho bishops were the creatures of tin conference and thu conference wns tin supreme authority. Ho held tha it wns an Insult to UK delegates to assume that they were not competent potent to appoint a judiciary committee. "I hold , Mr. Chairman , " sail Dr Leonard , "that the delegates soutod boronrt the posts ol the honorable superintendent ! who sit upon the platform. The delegate ! should appoint this committee. " Dr. J. B. Maxllcld ol Omalm was honrtllj in fuvor of assigning the appointment of tin Judiciary committee to Iho bishops. Ho was not a worshiper of the bishops , but ho hut conlldonco In their integrity nnd thoii transcendent ability to select this importanl committee. Dr , Peek , secretary of tbo mlsslonarv so ctoty , favored tha appointment by"tht bishops. Dr , Hanlon of Now Jersey favored the ap polutmont by the bishops. Much Ado A hunt Nothing. Dr. Quoalof Central Now York thought tin conference wss becoming too much coneornet nbnut the question. The Judiciary commit tee , ho hold , was not a court of limit resort The committee would have to report to tin conference. Uo therefore moved a snbstl tuto authorizing the bishops to nominate tin committee and to nave conference contlrn the nominations or reject them. Ill : ubstllutu wns declared out of order until an other substitute offered by Dr. Mourooutlier Izlng tbo conference to appoint had ueen ills posed of. Dr. Mooru's substitute was tabled by a dc clblvii vote. Dr. Lauahan then cot the door and prc cooded to make a coed deal of fun despite tb ( act. that the chairman culled attention t rules prohibiting merriment and npplnuso "i call Dr. Lnnahnn to order , " shontoJ dolocute , ' 'ho Is bpetiking upon u quostloi that has been tabled , " " 1 am discussing the eloquent spoecboi wi have Juut hoard , " retorted Dr. j.anahnn creating a great laugh. Ho continued t nimtta the audience tor a few me UletiU.v while ho prodded the editor of the Advocate who had hoc oxhlbltincthfiroratoriralabilities , Hellnall , said that bo never made n practice of talkln ugulust tlmo und would retire. Vcrj-Important Oui-.tluu Imlcoil. Just here Dr. Leonard of Cincinnati pr.m & frlovuoco. ltjyated tbop.i < ii < rom flooding the confcronco room ntnlt lours with printed innitcr. Ho oTored ( n notion to prohibit the distribution of nil natter cxccpl'ng ' telegrams during the hours of conference business. Dr. Slowo of Cincinnati oppoied the motion. Ho wanted to know how the Dally \dvocato was golnp to bo distributed. Chnplatn Mi-Cube said ho could show the : onforonco a wrinkle or two noout dutrlb'it- ng documents. Ho would get the mission ary documents upon the seat of every dele- ; nlo In the morning before they arrived nt the mil. There was , In his opinion , no necessity 'or the distribution of documents during the transaction ot business. Dr. Leonard's motion to shut off the dls- Lrlbutton of nil sorts of documents , except ing tolograinv'urlng ' business hours wns car ried. ried.Tbo dobito upon the question of appointing the judiciary committee was continued. Dr. C. F. Urolghton of Nebraska hold that the bishops should not appoint. Dr , Mlloy of Drew theological seminary then caught the eye of tno chairman. Ho believed the mutter should bo consigned to the hands of the bishops. Dr. Neely of Philadelphia mndo n telling speech In which ho took the ground sug gested by Dr. Qtienl , that the bishops should noinlnntQ nnd tbo conference confirm the nominations. Uo therefore changed his orlolnal resolution to coincide with that idea. Dr. J , W. Hamilton of Boston saw no rea son why the conference should not appoint the Judiriary committee. Ho was willing that the Bishops should nominate , but ho wanted the real power of electing or appoint ing left with tbo conference. Dr. iNccly's motion ns amended , giving the bishops the power to nominate , but leaving the continuation In the hands ot thu confer ence , was then put and carried. On motion of Dr. liarl Cranston the ex penses of nil general conference fraternal delegates snut to other conferences were or dered paid by the church. Secretary Monroe appointed half a dozen assistant secretaries. Not SatUlicd with Ills Scat. Dr. B11U stated that the body had been greatly mortilled by the disorder caused by the awkward seating of ttio conference , and hoped that future conferences would nol bo thus nnnoyod. Ills motion was put and carried. A resolution was Introduced by Amos Shinklo ot Kentucky and several others pro viding for a committee of o'jc minister and ono layman from each general conference and three laymen at largo to consider the matter of nn equal representation of min isters nnd laymen in the general conference und the annual conference' * . Carried. The roll of conferences was then called for appeals , resolutions or miscellaneous busi ness. ness.The committee on episcopacy was in structed to confer with the bishops and re port to the general conference on or before the 10th of May whether or not any addi tional bishops should bo elected to advance the work 01 the church. Agitintt Secret Societies. A resolution sent up by some anti-secret society brother began It1 us : Whoru-is , The n.ith taken by all who join oathbotin i sov-leties Is n direct nnd flagrant violation of the commandment , "Thou shall not tii : c the name of the Lord thy ( Jed In vain ; " nn.l \ \ hercas But that was as far as the secretary was allowed to proceed. Dr. Buckley Jumped to his feet , nnd on being recognized by the chair snid : "Inasmuch ns no such state of affairs as set forth in thu opening lines of that resolution could bo known except to ono who had violated an oath , there is no occasion for the conference to consider the matter as It did not como properly before the body. " Ho moved thut it go to the committee with out further running. Ttio motion carried without a dUscntlng voice , and this ono resolution died u speedy and painless death. A committee of flvo was ordered appointed to make arranccmcnts for a centennial cele bration during the confuruncn , as this is the ono hundredth anniversary of the lirst quad rennial conference hold in 17'J'J in New York. Another resolution asked the bishops to confer regarding the Russian famine ques tion and report suggestions to the confer ence. ence.Dr. . Jnhn L. Smith , a member of the gen eral conference of Ib.VJ , and Dr. Benjamin F. Crury , the veteran editor of tbo California Christian Advocate , were granted the priv ilege of sitting on the stage at such times as they might desire. AK'ilnut tlio Chinese Inclusion Act. A resolution Instructing the committee on the state of Iho church to prepare and for ward n memorial to th'j president of the United Stutcs asking him not to approve of Iho bill passed by congress excluding tbo Chinese from the jurisdiction of this repub lic , was introduced by Dr. Swindells. It went to a committee of live , which will re port this moniitii. . Bishop Andrews announced the following committees : To prepare nn acknowledgment of the reception tendered by the city Arthur Edwurds , David Moore , Charles W. Smith. To prepare a memorial to forward to Presi dent Harrison regarding the Chinese bill- William Lawrence , Dr. Swindells , ex-GoV , nilllnghnip , Francis H. Reel , J. C. Postlo- in wane. The latter committee will notify the presi dent at once by wire that such a communica tion is coming. I'rccdmcn'n Aid AfTalrn. Arconc the suggestions that will be made to tbo general conference by the board ol directors of the Freedmcn's Aid society la iho following : "I * , is obvious that the term 'Frccdmen' 11 no longer applicable to any portion ot those for whoso benotlt the work of the society is prosecuted. During its carllcryears the society extoudo'l material aid to the needy and homeless frcod people In addition to Its school work ; but that form of boiioflconco has been discontinued and properly so. Its present mission is educa tions ) , and Us recognized Held comprises the southern ctatcs ; hence wo suggest thd question of dropping the term , Frocdmen's Aid,1 thereby leaving the name , 'the Southern Education Society o ! the Molhodlst Episcopul church , ' which cor rectly designates the work.

The nttnck In the house today upon the river nnd harbor bill by Mr. Holman was sharp nnd blttcrhut his remarks did not crcato a sensation as did .hcnoof Mr. Hrocltlnriugo of Kentuckywtion no appealed to a domucratlo house to deal frankly and fairly with the people and not to create thu Impression that the bill Involved an appropriation of but $21,000,000 when It really earned an expenditure of $47,000,000. Tnc house went Into commit'co ' of the whole on iho river and harbor bill , Mr. Holman attacked tbo bill as Doing an extravagant one. It not only appropriated more than $21OOJ.030 , but It authorized con tracts to bo made which would make tbo government liable for $ 0,000,000 more. Coat of H l'riip < iscil Improvement. In connection with the bill , ho sent to the clorn's desk nnd had read n loiter from W. H. Leonard of Port Huron , Mich. , to Hoprc- scntattvo Whiting , thanking him for his op position to the proposal to make a twenty- one-foot channel across Lake St. CUlro , a distance of thirty miles. This channel would have to bo made with piers of wood or stone on both sides. It would cost at least $7:3- : 000,000 ; and If the piers were of stone It would cost $300,000,000. Again at Door Point In La'.to Eric there would bo ten inllos of piers and live feet of dredging , and at tlu "Soo" river llfty miles of piers. At the foot of Lake Huron thcro would have to bj about three miles of piers. These ninety-three miles of wcodcn piers , with necessary dredg ing , woula cost J'-VVJO.OOO a mile , which amounted to me enormous sum of $ - 5r > yi- ) 000 ; nnd in live years the work would not bo worth iho button of a sailor's coat for the navigation ot twcnty-onc-foot vessels. Mr. Whiting of Michigan thouirht that the propo sition to sccuro a twouty-ono-foot channel from Duluth to Buffalo was premature and ill advised. sailing ; Under I'lUxo Cotnrfl. Mr. Brecltlnridco of Kentucky bad too short a lime accorded him to attack the bill In detail , but If a democratic house wished to puss the bill it should act frankly with the people and tell them that the measure In volved on appropriation of $47,000,000 and not of $ ! ! , uOO.K)0.

Mr. Lockwood made nn eloquent speech in favor of tno deep waterway channel.

Mr. Catchings ol Mississippi , in defending the bill , paid his respects to Mr. Holmaiu "The gentleman troui Indiana , " ho sui.l , "opposed the measure , ai ho did every other measure which was a step toward the ad vancement of the country.

The resolution offered by Mr. Jones of Ar kansas for the payment to the Choctaws und Chtekasnws for their interests In the Chey- ennn and Arapnhoo reservation , nearly 53,000,000 , was taken up and Mr. Plntt ad dressed tbo senate in opposition to It. Mr. Plait spoke for three hours , nrpulng that the Choctaws had no right to the lands for which they claimed payment ; nnd that oven if they had , the claim had been swelled beyond uny- thins which law or justice or even deeoncv allowed. Tbo law , ho said , punished bv line and imprisonment any lawyer who charged a pensioner moro than J2 for his services , hut hero was a proposi tion to nllow KiOO.OOO to bo paid to thrcn attorneys for presenting to congress the claim of these Indians. And there was little doubt that tbo scuato would concur with Itu Indian committee In favor of the claims , al though there had been occasions when tbo senate would have condemned such contracts with attorneys. Ho concluded with iho re mark that when , in tbo future , an additional claim of $0,000,000 would bo presented tbero would bo in Iho Congressional Record such a statement that another senate need not act In ignorauca. Without action on the resolution the senate went into executive session and soon ad journed. VKI.MlWSrtlNU J'AItIC APIMIIIS. Chlnriio Kiclilslun Hill Signed hy tint I'riHl- de.nl Wimlilnctnii Notm.

The nctlou of the committee on resolutions in recommending the repeal ot the com pulsory school law and a substitute therefor of groxtly rao.llfloa' legislation had created a spirit of discontent In certain quar ters and the action of the committee to select. dologntos-at-larpo had nlsa dlssatUllod the roung ropuollcan fricmU of President W. W. Tracoy of the republican leusuo as well as the colored gintloimn who nisumaJ to represent their race on thu ( bar of tha con vention , and It appoaredthat the era of good Feeling had passed.

Tha object of this WAS to m'jvont Cook county from starting a stampjda against Fifer. Nominations for governor were then de clared in order.

Ho made a brilliant snccch of acceutanco , in which ho promised , if ro-electoil , to civa his best thoughts and energy to tha interest of the people. Ho ( spoke of the cominc political campaign ; nnd said the prossnt school law wa the work of both republicans and demo crats , having passed both branches of the irencral assembly practically unanimously ; It was found that the ( law In practical opera tion does an injustice to some of the citizens of the stato. This was not intended by those who voted for tno measure , and none was morn willing to correct the evil than tboso who placed it on the statute books. Fifor declared hlmiolf the uncom promising friend of the free school system , but ho Dcllovecl parents should have the rluht to say in what schools they will educate - cato their children. Ho was opposed to in terference on the part of the state with private and parochial schools.

[ Special to Tun Bui : . ] There are probably a few politicians in tbij Fifth district who have not declared themselves as candidates for congressional nominations. Tlio number seems to be daily increasing. Among the republicans Prof. W. E. Andrews of Hastings college has the advantage- first having been announced us willing 10 arcopt the nomination. Ho is a young mar. , und his worst fault Is that ho corals from Hastincs. Colonel J. D. Gage of FrunKlia county , chairman of the congres sional central committee , lias developed much strength. His homo county tMcuatlon has been Instructed for him , nnd it is pro dieted that he will carry the whole western part of the district. Dan Ncttloton of Clay , who vies In point of homlincss with MclCsighan , has the support of that county. J. D. Mol'beulv of Alindcn has been quietly working for some llmo. J. L. Cllne. also of Minden , was supposed to oo a candidate , but It now seems that ho Is after the stiuo audltorship. In addition , General C. J. Diluorth , com- nnnder of the Nebraska Grand Army of the Hopublii } , and J. G.

A prominent democrat ot this city states emphatically that they will not on- dot o McKclghun , but that they have a man in view whom tnoy will put up. Whom ho may bo is to be conjectured , since us yet no ono has entered the lists. Of course McICuighan will bo renomi- natcd. John H. Powers and John M.
