 SUBSTITUTE LAY DELEGATES Admitted After a Sharp Debate Into The ueshOdist General Conference. NEW YORK, May 8.-Bishop Walden of Chattanooga presided at the opening of the Methodist Episcopal conference this morning. After the devotional exercises Dr. Buckley of New York offered resolution that inas- much as lady delegates who were elected to the conference had been ruled out yesterday their fares to and from their destinations should be paid by the general conference. The motion was carried. Dr. Kyneth off, fered an amendment that Mrs. Stones expenses as reserve delegate from from Bombay should also be paid. The amendment was tabled.
 The report of the second committee ap- pointed to enquire into the eligibility of cer- tain lay delegates who it is said were not 5;.kr; 0f k6a that elected them was read and recommended that they be given their seats provided each delegate should be member of the church in the conference. The minority report was next submitted. It simply recommended that the delegates should be seated. The lay delegates are John N. Phillips, delegate from Mexico, residing in New York; Robert E. Pattison, representing North India, resid- ing in Philadelphia; and John M. Carnell, representing North Italy, living in New York. Chairman Gallagher of the majority committee explained ned that refer to Cornell he was only reserve delegate and his case was not considered by the committee. The debate then began in in earnest. Rev. Dr. J. s. Smart, of De-
 troit, was in favor of the report of the minor ity. Dr. J. M. Buckley of Now York, who yesterday took such firm stand against the women, was to-day in favor of the disputed territorial delegates. Rev. Dr. Vernon, of Italy, argued that many countries could not always find an English speaking delegate, and in view of this fact he thought it would be only right to allow such countries to elect delegates from any place they chose to select Rev. J. B. Thoburn, of India, spoke strongly in favor of admitting the disputed delegates as also did Rev. G. W. Brush, of Dakota. Rev. Dr. John Lanahan, of Balti- more, spoke in favor of the minority report. Dr. Moore. of the Erie conference, was in favor of the admission of the territorial dele gates.

PARNELh ON THE RESCRIPT.
 Irish Catholics Will Not Heed Pelisi- cal Advice From Rome.
 LONDON, May S.-The Eighty club gave
 banquet to NIT. Parnen this evening. Her
 bert Gladstone, the Earl of Cavan and all the
 leading Parnellites were present. MT. Par
 nell on rising to speak was received with pro-
 longed cheers. He thanked the club for the honor done him and said the occasion would
 have great effect on Ireland, reminding
 Irishmen that they were not alone in the struggle, and what. was more important, that their responsibility was not the sole respon~ sibility in the matter. In speaking of the Pope's rescript he said he approached the subject with unwillingness and did not think it his business as Protestant to vim dicate the freedom of Catholics. He was con- vinced that Irish Catholics knew their politi- cal duty and how to vindicate themselves. They would not allow anybody, however high, to influence them jot in their political duty to their country-a thing that had been repeatedly tried from Rome, but had always failed. With regard to the plan of campaign,
 when that was instituted he was dangersusly ! ill and compelled to refrain from all work. He admitted that though the plan had been
 benefit he would then have advised against l it because it contained features inimical to the situation and would serve as pretext for the Tories to inf1ict far- ther coercion. When in 1887 he was able to speak it was too late. The government has struck at Dillon and O'Brien and he thought it better to let the matter rest, but he stipu- , lated that neither the league nor Parnellite party should be identified with the plan and that the sphere of the plan should be as re- l stricted as possible. While leaving to Dil- | lon, O'Brien and others to deal with the re- script, said Mir. Parnell, shall adhere to our l custom when the government strikes an Irish | man to fight for him, whether he be right or wrong. He concluded with long defense of political combination and drew comparison
 between law in England and law in Ireland. He predicted coming trouble over eyictions. | He counselled his eountrymen to keep with | in the law as understood in Ireland
 | In response to many calls Mir. John Morley spoke briefly, concluding by proposing a vote
