SENSATION IN THE CONVENTION
Evidences That There Was Fraud
Practiced in the RalIotIng.

New York, May 2S.-Rev. j. W. Joyce.
of Ohio. was elected third bishop at the
Methodist conference this morning.
DIR. Joyce is pastor of st. Paups ehGfch.
Cincinnati. Three hundred votes were nee
essary to a choice, and DR.. d. A. Goodsell
fell14 short of the number. getting 2S6
votes. On the same ballot, DR.. John p.
Newman received 237, Charles FL. Payne 167,
and Earl Cranston, 116 The sixth ballot
was ordered and the vote was cast in less
than half an hour. While the tellers were
out counting the vote the committee ON re-
visals reported several proposed changes of
the discipline. One of the changes, that re-
lative to the relations of church chairs to the
government of the church, 0ccasi0ned con-
siderable debate. The present tendency to
introduce operate and other "highfalutin"
music in the church service was deprecated
and ON motion of Col. Ray, the item relating
to church music was amended so as to make
the music committees amenable to the gener-
al conference. The eighth ballot resulted in
no election but Earl Cranston gained 20, DR..
Newman gained and DR.. Go0dsell gained A.
while DR.. Paynes lost SO. Something OF
sensation was created when the tellers re-
turned with the result of the ballot. They
announced AL votes cast, necessary to
choice 294 Drs. Newman and Go0dsell re-
ceived 253 each, G. III. Payne, 135 and Earl
Cranston, 1856. AS none received the num-
ber required there was no election. The
sensation referred to was occasioned by one
of the tellers announcing that evidences OF
repeating two votes were found on the sew
enth ballot and that the votes were thrown
out. One consisted of a slip of paper nearly
torn through the centre into two strips. The
names of two candidates were written on
each slip in the same hand writing. The
other of the seemingly fraudulent ballots
consisted of two pieces of paper with the
corners turned down so that the two could
be cast as one and then become separated
in the hat. The two pieces of paper were
identical in size, had the same corner turned
down and contained the same candidates
name and were in the same hand writing.
The votes cast in the ninth ballot numbered
439, making 293 necessary to choice. Again
the result was the same almost as the three
previous ballots. Rev. Dr. Newman, of
Washington is gradually creeping up having
received in the last ballot 272 votes, while
Goodsell received 267. The balloting began
for the tenth time and after the tellers had
collected the ballots the conference adjourn
ed. The result of the ballot will be made
known tomorrow morning.

MccIynn as an Illustration.

. The Standard, in an editorial on the Pope's
rescript, today, says: The fate OF Father
McGlynn is not calculated to encourage the
fancy that a priest in politics can defy the
thunders of Rome. Archbishop Walsh has
set the lead in submission. He has person.
ally committed himself to the plan of cam
paign by declaration that under the circum-
Stances he could not censure those who in
vented and worked it. He has been active
in Rome III placing in the most favorable
light the procedure and aims of the agita-
tors. When an ecclesiastic SO deeply involy-
ed in the meshes of the League takes the
lead in accepting as decisive the fiat that has
gone forth from the Congregation of the
Propaganda, it would be an absurdity to
treat the action of the Irish clergy as an
open questi on"
