Continuation of the General Confer
ence Mt EE edmond. Va.

RICHMOND, Va, May 12.-In the NJ. E. gen.
eral conference to-day the manual of disci-
pline by Bishop Mcintyre was again discussed
under a motion that the college of bishops be
requested to publish their decisions. After
considerable discussion the matter went over
without action. 1t is manifest that greater
part of the delegates are unwilling that the
manual shall serve as a final arbiter. A large
number of amendments have been offered
looking to change of discipline, but
so far little disposition is manifest
to make changes. DR.. Edwards,
of Virginia, introduced resolution
proposing change in the order of divine SER
vice on the Sabbath day. An animated debate
followed. Drs. McFerrin, Kelly, Young and
others spoke earnestly against the resolution
which was finally rejected. The finance COM
mittee recommended that the matter in rea-
ton to the will of the late Lorenzo d. Braggs,
of Massachusetts, be referred to the book
agent to be elected by the conference for him
to do what he

that it claimed that the bill had reduced
the appropriation for the service, while in
reality it increased the appropriation $780,
