TIRED ENOUGH OF THE DISCUSSION.
COMMITTEE WORK WILL NOW BEGIN IL EARNEsT-

CONFERENCE scENPs.
The expectation that a vote on the question Of adj
hitting the delegates would be reached in Con-
ference yesterday, brought a larger attendance of
visitors than any day since the sessions began. All
the stings In the boxes taken early and all tho
available seats in the galleries were filed even before
the delegates had arrived Many Of the delegates who
had returned to their homes Sunday, had
preached In other cities, did not arrive until the discus
sion at its full height. The available seats wer
not enough to accommodate all who came and many
hundreds Of men and women, after standing for tms
In the alsos and galleries, left the building.
1t soon became evident that the Conference had
listened to enough OF the controversy. One attempt
made to get hearing for the women delegates. but
this met with feeble response that 1t was not
pushed further. BY III O'Clock score Of delegates
trying to get the chairmans eye whenever op
portunty offered for securing the floor and each Of
these anxious to stop further debate by moving the
previous question and bringing the Conference to
vote. II was an hour later when DR.. Lanahan, Of
Baltimore, finally recognized and after pleasant
humorous review OF the arguments put the previous
question, which seconded by hundred voices.
As yet there has been little work for any of the com.
mttees which have been appointed by Conference and
