The Methodist Conference.

@NE% YORK, May bishop Ninde
presided at to-day's session of the
Methodict Episcopal conference, the
debate on the admission of women as
delegates was continued. FortY-one
delegates at once claimed the floor.
Rev. H. H. Moore, of Erie conference,
was'recognized. He spoke in favor of
admitting women. Rev. J. T. Edwards,
editor of the Northeastern Advocate, OPP
posed their admission at the present
time, and favored the submission of
the question to vote of the church.
Judge Taylor, from st. LOUIS confer
ence, argued the question on constitu-
tional grounds. there We're important
matters 10 be voted on, he said, and if
women were admitted and it should
subsequently, be decided that women
were not entitled to seats, the acts of
the present conference would be illegal
and unconstitutional. Rather than
have women admitted now uncopstitu-
tional he would pay all their expenses.
He favored the admission of women.
but wants the question submitted to
vote of the church and to have them
admitted on legal grounds. DIR. Bayliss,

if the general conference had power to
construe the constitution in regard to
the admission of local preachers it had
the fight to construe the law in
regard to the eligibility of women.
The debate closed about II o'clock, and
vote was taken on the adoption of
Moore's substitute for the report of the
committee. 1t proposes that women
elected as lay delegates to the present
conference be seated, and the question
of their eligibility to future general con-
ferences be determined by vote of the
churches at annual conferences. The
substitute was lost. Then a vote was
taken upon the amendment of the re-
port offered by DR.. NeeleY. This amend
ment excludes women from seats in the
present conferences, and submits the
question OF eligibility to future general
conferences and to annual conferences.
Adopted, by vote of 249 ayes to 173
nays. After the adoption of DR.. Nee

mittee, with the amendment, was

AMUSEMENTS.

Gus WILLIAMs.-Gus Williams, who
gained his fame originally as Tony
Pastors leading speciality artist, and
who has been seen on the front and
back of more song books than Brudder
Bones himself, drew an immense house
to the Theatre, last night, 10 witness
his latest characterizatlon-t of
Mr.. Albert Keppler, the butcher.
In Keppier's Fortunes, Mr.. Villa ms
has secured the best vehicle for bring
ing out his peculiar abilities which we
have yet seen him present. The piece
has enough OF plot to keep interest
alive in the story and the Dutch songs
and rotations for which he was always
famous are intermingled very natur-
ally and pleasantly. The best of last
nights efforts. "rhe Lock of Hair" and
when We Ran. With the Old Ma
chine" were applauded and en-
cored to the echo. MIR. Williams
himself has improved greatly since his
last visit, and is now a good actor in
that particular line of parts where he
was before only sketch artist. He is
well supported as whole. the best
acting being done by Frank Girard as
trae-to. the lIfe New York bruiser, by MIR.
Tingay as the villain, and by Miss Elma
as Keppler s daughter. This lady's vocal
selections. albeit she has considerable
of lisp. wer5 loudly encored. The
piece goes again tonight.

A Phenomenon.

CHICAGO, May IA special from
Wichita says: A strange atmospherical
phenomenon was witnessed at Maize
west of this city. A storm cloud burst
and extended over space of 500 yards
wide and one mile in length. For half
an hour rain came down in torrents.
The heavens were black and darkness
almost equal to that of night covered
the entire area. People ran frightened
from their homes, many CRY ing that the
end of the world had come. Maize is
situated OH the south bank of Arkansas
River, and the streets were turned into
rivers which fortunately found outlets
into the Arkansas. A number of houses
were washed away and many moved
from their foundations. A house oc-
cupied by a famil" named Rocky was
carried out into the stream, where it
sank, drowning the whole family. A
great many horses and cattle were
drowned and the loss will be very
heavy"
