weeks ago. It's well, sometimes,
to let people and localities See
what Others say and tmnk Of them,
and hence we publish il, with the
remark that Mr. Swiuptord is
thoroughly acquainted with his sub

about it:

Methodist Episcopal General Confer.

CINCINNATI, May 22.-To-day's session Of
the Methodist Episcopal General Confer
encc proved to be the most stormy held.
The regular order was the report OF the
Methodist Book Concern.
Or. Evans, OF Colorado, moved to substi-
tute for the majority report his minority re-
port, which recommends the consolidation
OF the two southern papers.
Upon this there was a long discussion, in
the course OF which DR.. Hitchcock made a
very favorable showing OF the Book Con-
Germ. The lay delegates generally were dis
posed to put the Concern on paying basis,
while the ministers as a rule favored the
continuance Of publications even at loss,
on the ground that they were the means OF
doing great deal OF good.
DR.. Kynett. of Iowa, moved to table the
motion OF DIR. Evans to substitute the nil
nority for the majority report.
Mr.. GilIet, layman from Illinois, moved
to have the vote by separate orders, and II
was sustained.
Under this action a concurrent vote OF
both orders-lay and ministerial-wa re-
qured to carry the motion. 1t was over
this vote that the exciting confusion arose.
Nearly an hour was spent IN raising and
settling points OF order; during which there
were many evidences OF warm feeling and
much confusion.
A vote was finally taken, resulting in the
ministerial voting 131 to 95 in favor OF
tabing DR.. Evans's report, and the lay del
egates voting 60 to 90 against tablipg.
The two orders not concurriDg, the mi
nority report was not tabled.
The Conference then adjourned.
