A resolution unanimously passed ask
ing all the societies OF the Methodist
Church TO decline TO ask for or receive
any financial aid from the United States
Government for any educational or re-
ligious work-whether among the In
dams or othersI 1t was stated that the
Methodist Church. as church, had never
asked for or received any such aid,
though some quasi Methodist organiza-
ton had received few Thousand dol
lars. The Methodist Church goes on
record as being utterly opposed to the
government assisting any religious body
In a financial way. IL any denomina-
ton cannot live without government aid,
the feeling was that 1t would be better
for II to make an assignment and go out
of business. A complete separation OF
church and state Is an absolute neces-
sity, and by this action Of the General
Conference the Methodist Church has
joined hands with the great Baptist
Church, which, so 1t is claimed, has
never received any government aid for
UNCONVENTIONAL purposes.
The farewell remarks OF DR.. Moulton,
the Wesleyan delegate, were in good
taste. and were heartily applauded.

the conference was eloquent and COM

Most disorderly scenes were the rule
during the discussion of the rules of or
der, for the laymen are jealous of their
rights, and the clerical brethren are
equally DESTROYS not to lose any Of their
prerogatives. SO much time has been
wasted that it would seem Ii would be
well to adopt q set of rules that will not
have to be tinkered with every quad
rennium. There are too many parlia-
mentary martinets who can tell the diff
| ference betwixt the north and northwest
! side of hair. Those who are stick
lers for the niceties of parliamentary
law obstruct legislation, though they ex-
hibit their skill in debate.
The laymen were anxious 10 have a
rule passed that would give them the
advantage in putting the clerical dele
gates on record, but by a separate vote
OF orders they failed. The lay vote for
this change of rule was lib and clerical

In Debt.
According to a Washington dispatch,
the Worlds Columbian Commission
seems to be a bankrupt concern. 1t Is
out OF funds. The Treasury Department
hasn't enough money to pay the ex-
penses of the last session Of the Ma
tional Board, not to mention the
expenses of the offices ut Chicago. from
now until July l, when the next ap-
preparation, l. one Is made, be-
comes available. The plain truth Is
that the National Commission is already
head over heels in debt and that its ac-
count with the Treasury Department
is overdrawn at least 1000.
The fact has apparently been concealed
out of Difference to the national branch
of the Worlds Fair. At the Treasury
Department it was stated Chat only ten
vouchers, calling for the per diem and

Board, had yet been presented for the

meeting, aggregate l,587. At the last
meeting of the National Commission the
attendance was unusually large. The
expense OF that session could not have
been less than $4,000. Only ten

BY the above 1t will be seen that there
is a total OF 442 delegates instructed, or
within nine of the number required to
nominate. These figures do not include
the number of uninstructed delegates
who have voluntarily pledged themselves
by letter or otherwise to vote for re-
nomination upon the first ballot.
These number about one hun
dred. They exclude every delegate
who has not specific instructions
from a district or State to vote for
denomination from the very beginning
of proceedings in convention. For in
stance, the four delegates from districts
In Illinois which did not adopt resolu-
tions of instruction are left out OF the
calculation, although 1t Is held that the
instruction in the State convention
binds delegates from districts which did
not instruct. For the same reason four
delegates are dropped in Missouri, al
though ~ is reported that the delegation
as whole will act under State instruc-
tions. OF the instructed delegates $50
ARE from the South and 1876 from the
North and West. Private information
from uninstructed delegates leads the
friends of the President to claim that
two-t thirds of the 900 delegates will vote
for Harrison on the first ballot.

blShOf WALDEN Iltu everything n b
own way. Although about 80 years Of
age, he does more work than almost any
other preacher In the convention, and Is
held in the highest regard by the clergy
and the laity. He is one of the marked
characters among the bishops, though
age is telling on him. At the close of
the bishops address he presented to the
conference a native African girl about
4 years old, and only nine months out
OF heather Africa. The little girl was
placed upon the speakers table amid
great cheering. When Bishop Taylor
said that the child had been out OF hea-
thendom only nine months, Bishop Fow-
Ter added: And Is now in the general
conference" This sally brought down
the house. Bishop Bowman stepped to
the table and took the child by the
hand, at which a colored delegate shout
ed that now prophecy Is fulfilled In that
Ethiopia has stretched forth its hands
unto God" The bushes of Bishop Bow
man, as he was the one that took the
outstretched hand, created storm Of
applause. This was one OF the most
pleasant incidents of the conference SO

university and Christian education. all
the addresses were with reference to the

The nature Of the scheme was set forth
by Bishop Hurst while presiding. Rev.

called for by the audience, and re-
sponded briefly, expressing his approval
OF the magnificent scheme and faith in
its consummation. It was announced
that several subscriptions had already
been promised, Mrs. McCabe taking the
first share of $1,000. Another sum

some one to go after 1t. A resolution
