WAsuING7oN, May II The house to-
day, under d special order, adopted last
week, adapted the whole day to private
pension bills. They were disposed Of ~
The rate Of about one every five minutee,

bills granting pensions to the widow OF
Gen. O. NJ. Poe, 800; widow Of Gen.
Jameson, so: widow Of Can. John New
ton, SO; WIDOW of United States Sena-
tor George Il, Spencer, of Alabama, so;
aud X-Congreesman Smalle, or South
Carolina, so. While tho pension bills
were being considered, tine committee of
the whole rose informally and disagreed
to the senate amendments to the river
and harbor bill and sent it to the con-
ference. Later, Hepburn raised point
that the action Was irregular, and init
mated that it was piece OF shady praC-
tice to prevent the house from consider
ing the amendments in the committee Of
the whole. Hermann uisCIaimed any such
purpose, stating the object was to hasten
the bill in anticipation of presidential
veto, The speaker took the point of or
der under advisement and will decide it
tomorrow.

rs There Is in a Political
Convention.

CLEVELAND, May 14.-Today's session
Of tho Methodist Episcopal conference
was the most important that has been
held yet. The long expected report of
the committee on episcopacy wae pre-
sented and adopted, after an animated
debate, which was interspersed with in
Cidents OF dramatic and pathetic inter
est and many parliamentary tangles.
The report provided for the retirement
of the venerable Bishops Bowman and
Foster on the ground OF on-etfeCtive-
tune for the election of bishops Of Afr-
can descent, and also provided for the
election CT but two bishops to take the
place of those who were retired. The
propositions in the report were agreed to
by large majority This action relates
only to bishops in this country, and
takes no account Of the bishops in the
missionary field, who will be considered
later.
There was Il lively meeting Of the com
mittee on temperance this afternoon, and
as result, two reports defining the
policy of the church with respect to the
temperance question, will be submitted
to the conference tomorrow. The mat
ity report will be in line with the action
Of the conference Of four years ago at
Omaha, which was to the effect that no
political party has d right 70 expect sup
port from the Christians if that party
does not declare iii favor OF total pGOAi-
bitiOn Of the liquor traffic. This report
will have the support Of lG members OF
the Committee, aud will he adyoc 4tad by
Doctor Lo~lher, OF Wichita, Kansas.
Fifteen members Of the committee wiIl
sign d minority report opposing The
ma j}gity. It viii urge that The adoption
OF tho MAJORITY report will commit
tho church to the prohibition party, and
viii claim that moro effective, practical
temperance work can be accomplished
by the medium Of tas old parties.
The committees decided to cooperate
with the Antj-SaloOn league. The church
extension committee decided to recon
mend that hereafter no assistance be
given churches that cost more than
$4,000, except by special Legislation.
The two bishops who were retired will
be supported by the book concern. The
