THE CONFERENCE.
The Admission of Women as Lay Del
egates is the Subject of Discus
sion by the Methodists.
An Amendment Passrs which Excludes
Them feom tho Present Ssss!on-To 60
Before The Annual Conferences.

NEW YORK, May bishop Ninde Pre-
sided at ,o-daY's session OF the Methodist
Episcopal general conference, and Rev. j
NJ Johnson of the Norway conference
conducted the opening religious services.
1t was resolved to suspend the rules and
continue the debate on the admission Of
women as lay delegates. Forty-one dele
gates st once sprsng to their feet and
clsimed the floor.
Rev. N. N. Moore of the Erie confer
ence was recognized. He spoke in favor
Of admitting women.
Rev. j. T. Edwards of the Detroit con-
ference and editor of the Northwestern
Advocate, opposed their admission at the
present time, and favored the submission
OF the question to vote of the church.
Judge S N. Taylor, lay delegate from
the St. Louis conference, got the fl DOT.
He walked down the aisle with number
of law books under his arm. He pro-
ceeded to argue the question on constitu-
tional grounds. II would do much harm,
he sai5, TO admit women at the present
time. Here were bishops to be elected
and other important matters to be voted
on snd II the women were admitted aud
allowed to vote and 1t shonld subse quent-
y be decided that women were not en-
titled to seats, the acts OF the present
general Conference would be illegal and
unconstitutional. he quoted law TO sus
tain his position and sad that rather than
have women admitted now urconstitu-
tionsliy he would pay all their ex-
penses and do all that he could
to save the body from error. He is
in favor of the admission Of women he
said, but he wanted the question sub.
mitted to q vote Of the church snd to
have their seats given to them on legal
grounds.
Raw. Dr. 81. Bailiss of the Cincinnati
conference argued that il the general con-
ference had the power to construe the
constitution in re gard to the admission OF
local preachers, 1t had the right to con-
strue law in regard to the eligibility Of
women.
The debate w.s closed about 1 O'Clock
snd q vote w,s taken or the adoption of
Rev David 81. Morris substitute for the
report Of the committee. l. proposed
that the women elected as lay delegates
70 the present general conference be seat
ed, and the question Of their eligibility
to future general conferences be deter
mined by vote of churches and annual
conferences. This substitute was lost.
Then q vote was taken upon the amend
ment to the report offered By Rev. DR..
Ne; ly OF Philadelphia. This amendment
excluded women from seats in the pres
ent conference, and submits the q1es ion
OF eligibility to future general conferences
to the annual conferences. This WAS
adopted by s vote of 249 yeas and 173
nays.
After the sdoption of DR.. Neely's
smenomeut the report of the committee
with the amendment was adoptee by the
following vote: Yeas, ministerial, 159 /;
lay, rs. Nays, ministerial, 1872; lay, &c.

THE ERIE EMPRESS RETIRES
Its business Swallowed Up by the Wells

| The Wells-Fargo Express Company has
purchased the entire property, including
the delivery service, buildings, real estate
anu personal property, and entered into a
hfteen years contract for the absolute
control of the express of the New York,
Lake Erie and Western railroad and all of
Its branches and leased lines. The consoli-
dation is one of great benefit to both of
the interested companies, and to all of the
other companies as well. The Wells-F Far
go company virtually controls all of the
busin IS west of the Mississippi river,
their lines extending as far north as Vic
toria, b, c., and as far south as the City of
Mexico and Vera Cruz, and including all
intermediate cities of Importance. Until
now they have never done business east of
| Chicago, except through other eXpres
comp ules. They have tried for years to
get through to the Atlantic sea

been divided between the American,

has been carried by all of the trunk lines

which this will bring to the Erie cannot
be closely estimated, but that it will be
large is evident when it is considered that
