Proceedings of the Conference in
New York.

NEW YORK, May 30.-zBishop Fowler
called the Methodist conference to order to-
day. After the routine work was over,
Bishop Andrews asked the conference to in
terpret the recently enacted law touching
the pastoral term Of five years, so that it
might be made clear for administration dur
ing the next quadrennium. To this end the
following resolution was passed:
The new rule Of pastoral service shall be ap-
piled as follows:
At the session Of any annual conference next
be appointed to a charge which he has not served
for the three years proceeding and be continued
thereafter in said charge for five years, and a
pastor now serving charge which he had not
served for three years proceeding his present pa
torate, may be continued through a fun term Of
years in ten shall be strictly applied
A discussion was precipitated by a re-
port from the committee on temporal econo.
my providing for better care of superanuated
ministers. It was finally decided to have the
matter go over to the next general confer
ence.
The report of the committee on the state Of
the church was adopted without debate, pro-
yiding for the holding of an election during
October or November, 1890 at every place
of public worship in the United States, for
deciding as to the admission of women as
lay delegates to electoral or general confer
ences. Every member OF the church over q
is entitled to vote on the question. The re-
mainder of the session was taken up by a
discussion on the report offered to bring
about uniformity of public worship. The
report was attacked article by article, clause
by clause and word by word. All sorts Of
substitutes and amendments were suggested.
After much debate, one calling for the fol
lowing order of service was adopted: first.

congregation standing; second, PRAYER. the

TINKERINc THE TARIFF BILL.
Some Samples of the Changes De-
manded In the Caucus.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-"Boss" Scott, of
Erie in the Democratic caucus Monday night
just before its adjournment, undertook to
override the indivual sentiments of members
just as If they were in convention at Harris
burg instead of in the halls of Congress.
Raising his screechy voice to pitch which
made it plainly audible in the corridors, he
denounced members for giving away the Sc
crets Of the caucus action to the press. He
said he had seen at least twenty newspaper
men hanging around the caucus and getting
points about the proceedings. Not one of
them ought to have been admitted into the
building. Mr.. Scotts objection TO
publicity to Democratic caucus
action on the Dark Lantern" bill is, from
his point of view, well grounded The more
the tariff tinkering is examined, the more
crude and unjustifable it appears. 1t is
hardly necessary longer to refer to the Mills
bill. That has passed out of existence, so
far as caucus action can control the majority
(Which from present indications Is not very
far)
In point of fact there are three courses Of
action open to the House-t0 adopt the eau
Gus bill, to swallow the Mills bill unamended
or to maintain existing law. The Randall
BILL has been buried in committee and is
therefore left out of consideration. How
wide the points Of difference are between the
measures can be discerned by taking, almost
at random, a few of the items passed upon
In caucus and placing them in parallel col
umns, thus;

WATERvILLE, May 3O.-On Tuesday eve
ming occurred the prize reading of the Fresh
man class, the occasion which, for years at
Colby University, the Sophomores have
seized for lampooning the Freshmen. All
attempts to break up the custom have failed,
and every year, in spite of the vigilance of
the Freshmen and Faculty, the accustomed
false orders of exercises having appeared
in due season. This year. the date of the
reading was not made known until the morn
ing before 1t was to occur in the evening
when it was heralded abroad with faring
posters and omnipresent dodgers. But the
Sophomores were not caught mapping. A
slip of the tongue had made the secret theirs,
and little work by night flooded the city
with ''fase orders" This years order was
entitled the Devils Auction" But the
Sophomores did not end their efforts here.
As evening came on at the church where the
reading was to come off police and Fresh
men stood on guard within and without. AT
7.45 with a large audience in attendance the
exhibition began and was passing off finely
until half past 8 o'clock, when the bopho-
mores became noticeable by their absence.

AUGUSTA, May 30.-Mr. Blaine's letter to
Whitelaw Reid. reiterating his declination
OF the Republican candidacy, as expressed in
his first letter, was received here this morn
ing with feelings of regret and sorrow by
both his personal friends and the party in
general. They had hoped after the first let
ter was written that he would accept the
nomination if thrust upon him, and the in
dications of late have been that the Blaine
delegates would be very strong in the con-
yention. The letter published to-day has
put an end to all hopes of this kind and his
friends reluctantly yield to the inevitable.
Mr; Howard Owen, however, has not given
up all nope as will appear from the follow
ing Il think the letter is received with pro-
found sorrow, but 1t only reiterates what
MS friends knew he meant by his first letter,
wnlch was sincere in every respect But
stlll believe that If after there should be a
failure to concentrate upon any of the favor
lte sons the convention should turn as one
man to Mr.. Blaine it would be difficult for
him to decline such CALL"
Hon. Herbert Mr.. Heath said: s.Mr,
Blalne's letter is not unexpected. His most
sincere friends in this city have felt that his
reasons were such that nothing could induce
him to accept the nomination, 1t is a griey-
Gus disappointment to the Republicans of
Maine. | have no doubt Mr.. Blaine will
vigorously support the nominee"

member of the Republican National Com
mittee. Is a strong supporter of Mr. Depew.
