Minister Cox's Launch.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Tbe House to-
day again went into committee of the
whole on the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bills and spent the remainder
of the day disputiDg ever an item of 81 800
for steam launch for the use of the lega-

Mr.. ConnOr, Of Illinois, started the de-
bate by criticism of this item and Dem

against him and bis Democratic friends
were at the races, he would not raise the
point of no quorum. Pending further ac-

Bishop McTyeire's Manual Again Dis.
cusssd by the MethodIsts.
RICHMOND, May 12.--In the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference to-day the
manual Of discipline by Bishop McTyeire
again came up under a motion that the
College OF Bishops be requested TO pub
lish their decision. After considerable
discussion the matter went over without
action. 1t is manifest that the 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 a change Of the
discipline, but so far little disposition is
manifested to make changes.
DR.. Edwards, OF Virginia, introduced a
resolution proposing a change ia the order
of divine service on the Sabbath day. An
animated debate followed. Drs. Meier
rim, Kelly. Young and others spoke earn
estly against the resolution, which was
finally rejected.
Mr.. BRACES LEGACY.
The Finance Committee recommended
that the matter in relation TO the will OF
the late Lorenzo ID. Bragg, OF Massachu-
sets, be referred to the Book Agent to be
elected by the conference, for him to do
what he may deem best. Mr.. Bragg died
leaving an estate OF $50, 900 TO be divided
equally between the South and North
Methodist church, in the event of his two
children dying before they became OF age.
The Committee Of Episcopacy reported
in relation to the matter OF episcopal resi-
dence, that In their opinion there should
be Bishop from each OF the great sections
of the country.
THE REvIsAL.
Dr. Peterson, chairman OF the Commit
tee eOn the Revisal, presented a report In re-
latiOn TO the ratio OF representation. The
committee deem a change unnecessary.
AS to the paper looking to change in
the manner Of electing delegates to the
General Conference the committee recon-
mended non-concurrence. The commit
tee also recommended nOn-concurrence m
the matter of chasing local preachers
with laymen. A minority report will be
submitted.

ger from the Methodist Episcopal Church
North, was introduced 10 the conference
to-day. Gov. Foraker, the other fraternal

RICHMOND, VA, May 12.-Information
was received here to-day of a dastardly
attempt made last night by negro to
murder Rev. W. c. Hall, pastor Of the
Four Mile Greek Baptist church, in Hem
rico county, and bis wife. IL appears
that the Rev. Hall and his wife had just
retired, when some one knocked. Mr..
Hall arose, and, opening the door, found a
heavy-built negro on the front steps. He
asked the mau what he wanted. but
without replying he assaulted Mr..
Hall with a club, telling him. He then
entered the chamber and at
tackled Mrs. Hall with the club, striking
her several times. IL is thought the
negro's purpose was robbery, but he was
frightened of by hearing some one
moving on the upper floor. An alarm was
given by a little 0-year-old child, and
neighbOrs found the venerable couple in
sensible. Mr.. Hall is 70 years old. A
posse Of citizens are In pursuit OF the
negro, and if caught he may be summarlly
dealt with,
