greater safety. Many families were
obliged to move by means of boats or
rudely constructed RATS. The water in
the streets varies in depth from six inches
TO one foot. and many of the lower streets
are completely under water. The creek
that flows through the town overfiowed its
banks and added to the general alarm.

termination to renew their efforts for

THEMETHODlST CONFERENCE.

OMAHA, May Sat the morning session
of the Methodist conference, DR.. Moore OF
Cincinnati offered q resolution asking foI
committee of fifteen on judiciary, to
consider all appeals and laws. DR.. Moore
asked that the committee be appointed by
the conference, instead Of by the bishops.
He made the point that it is not good
law for a court OF appeals to be appointed
by the body whose acts are to be reviewed.
DR.. Moore's action caused a sensation,
and a sharply contested fight was the
result.
Dr. Buckley alleged that the position of
DIR. Moore was fallacious He defended
the present manner of appointing COM
mittees, and cited the case of the president
and the supreme court.
DR.. Pullman of New York emphasized
Dr. Moore's point. 1--WE are often accused, ~
he said, ''of being under the government
of hierarchy. oran aristocraJic govern
ment and we must do something to dis
abuse the public mind of such an accu-
saton."
DR.. Miley of New York said that there
was no reason for taking away the bishops
power to appoint, unless there was a sus-
picion that they would pack the com
mittee.
DIR. Moore controverted the statement,
and the there were cries of MOI" MOI
throughout the house.
DR.. Miley, seeing his mistake, withdrew
his assertion.
Dr. Neeley of Philadelphia, changed the
original resolution to read nominate, "
instead of appoint" His change was ac-
cepted aud the motion then prevailed with
ou. opposition.
\ motion by Mr.. Shinkel of Kentucky
for the appointment Of special commit
tee of one Clergyman and one layman from
each district and three layman at-large to
consider equality of representation in
the conference was adopted.
Another fight was narrowly escaped
when the following, from the Chicago Ger
man conference, was offered:
Whereas, The oaths of all who Join
oath bound organizations are contrary to
the commandment Thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord thy God in vain
Resolved, That member of the
Methodist church cannot belong 10 such
organizations without violating his faith +"
Debate was cut of by referring it 10 a
committee.
Various committee reports were then
read, aud the conference adjourned at l

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The house today
went into committee of the whole (Mr.
Hatch of Missouri in the chair on the
river and harbor appropriation bill. The
general debate was limited to two hours.
Mr.. Holman Of Indiana took the floor in
opposition to the measure. Mr.. Holman
attacked the bill as being an eXtravagant
one. 1t not only appropriated more than
S21 ,000 900, but it authorized contracts to
be made which would make the govern
ment liable for sec, 900, 600 more.
Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky had too
short time accorded to him to attack the
bill in detail, but said that if the Demo
cratic honse wished to pass the bill it
should act frankly with the people, and
tell them that the measure invo lved
an appropriation of $47, 10000 and not
S21,O00,00O If an appropriation Of SAT. .000-
600 was fair and just, let the Democratic
party go before the country and say So
and not declare that this was an econom-
ical congress, and that it had appropriated
only ST. 100000.
Mr.. Cutchings of Mississippi, in defend
ing the bill. paid his respects to Mr.. Hol-
man. The gentleman from Indiana, he
sad, opposed the measure, as he did every
other measure which was a step toward
the advancement of the country.
The general debate having been con-
cluded, the bill was considered under the
fve-minute rule.
Without disposing of the bill the COM
mittee rose and the house adjourned.
