NEW YORK, May 22.-For the first
time since the twentieth general con-
ference began, every seat in the vast
auditorium Of, Metropolitan Opera
House was filed. To-day when Bishop
Malallien opened the session, after
some preliminary routine business, the
election of bishops began. Before the
actual voting began, much time was
taken up in settling the question as to
whether ballots containing less than
the required number Of names should
be counted or thrown out. After much
discussion it was decided to count them,
and the voting began in esrnest.
The total number of votes cast on the
first ballot was 447. The number neces.
sary fer choice was 298. The votes
cast for the leading candidates were as
follows: DR.. ]. A. Vincent, 215; DR..
Jas. N. Fitzgerald, 1915; DR.. }. A. Good
sell, 1853; DR.. ]. P. Newman, 156; DIR. J.
W. Joice, 145; DR.. Payne. 100; Drs
James AZ. King and Earl Cransten. 1913
each; DIR. Kynett, 11S; II. A. Butts, u.s.
There were twenty candidates who re-
ceived less than 100 votes, and over
fifty who received but one vote each.
The time in which to elect bishops was
extended.
A second ballot was taken, and the
conference then took recess until this
evening, when the result OF the count
will be made known.

mittee on labor, and O'Neill, of Mis-
souri,, chairman of that committee,
called up the bill to confne the sale OF
the products of convict labor to the
State in which they are produced. The
majority and minority reports were
read at length and the hour was then
consumed. ONeill explained that the
measure originated in the visit to this
city Of the manufacturers from New
York, Brooklyn, Jersey City aud other
cities, who appeared before the com
mittee, pictured the ruin that stared
them in tho face from competition in

the rate of wages or go out OF business.

were off ered by Edmunds, and agreed
to. The bill was then passed, con-

sign and duties of which shall be to

Rost general and comprehensive sense
of that word, and especially upon its

A message from the President, re-
turning, without his approval. the SEN

bill directs an allowance q SIPS to Mr..
Warden, recently postmaster of Law

July /, 1882, to June 80, 1888. The
grounds of the veto are that the allow

fixed by the postal department;
that in this case $500 was
allowed: thst applications for

risk, and that the passage of special acts
in such cases would have dangerous
tendency to Encourage postmaster to
substitute their own judgment for that

ordered On the appropriation bill, and
Senators Allison, Dawes and German
were appointed.
