SARATOGA, May 2S.-The Presbyterian

cisco have refused to reconsider tho action
taken last year, and ''the plan the COM
mittee has in view isan effective, practical
and constitutional method of Safeguarding
the teaching and property of the semi
naries."
There was a minority report. the pith of
which is that the compact Of 1870, the con-
current resolution No. 9 of the assembly
OF 1869 in reference to the synodical or as
sembly control of seminaries, and all acts
Of the assembly granting powers of self

PROCEEDINGS OF THE MsTHoDIsTs

CLEVELAND, May ga surprise was
sprung upon the Methodist Episcopal gen.
eral conference yesterday when motion
was made and carried to refer the report
OF the committee on constitution to COM
mission to report four years hence. This
report has been under discussion for three
days and has aroused much bitterness.
Tho reason for this action is believed to
be a desire for constitution which will
depart more from old lines than did the
report OF the committee. There is a feel
ing that the laymen should be given more
equal representation and it is hoped that
may be granted in the constitution which
the commission will prepare

ELECTS PERMANENT CHAIRMAN

0aehef1A9 Il Rather What May Be Called
DsosasRaAive, and the First Session De-
cidedly Iively-Gold Men, Not Yet Des-
Platform-Some Political Remarks from
the senate Record.
PrrrsBURo, May 2S.-Uproarious and
caustic In the extreme was the first days
session Of the seventh national Prohibition
convention. At least one-half the time
the delegates were in q bedlam Of confu-
sion, and on several occasions the presid-
ing officer had to call upon the band to
play in order to quiet the disorder. Itwas
o fight between the ''broad gauge" or free
silver faction and the single issue or gold
standard delegates from the east. The
fight was precipitated few moments
after the convention was called to order,
and at both the morning and afternoon
sessions things in general ran riot.
Free Silver Wins the First Fight.
The free silver faction carried the day,
however, and at o'clock last evening
elected C. w. Stewart, of Illinois, perma-
nent chairman over A. A. Stevens, Of
Pennsylvania, who was backed by the
gold standard delegates. And nov the
free silver faction is in an ecstacy Of de-
light over the victory. The convention
was held in Music hall at the exposition
building, and there were over 1000 specta-
tors In attendance. 1t was not as large a
crowd as the leaders had expected, but
there were enough people to I'LL the big
IN nd -hnf AI%nvx l., 1-<xls
they made up in enthusiasm.
Lurid End to q Welcome.
H. L. Castle welcomed the delegates at
the opening of the convention and he
wound up with this lurid compliment to
the liquor trafiic-"And may God Almighty
bless your coming, and may an Almighty
God through you curse and blight and
wither and destroy the legalized liquor
traffic, the greatest foe to God and human
ity ever invented in hell or patented on
Garth" A. A. Stevens was the temporary
chairman, but before he was seated there
was n lively time. c: NJ. Dunn, of Cali
fornia, wanted to run another man for
temporary chairman and was told to sit
down by Chairman Dickie He then ap-
pealcd from the chairs decision.
Why the Appeal Went Unnoticcd.
No notice was taken of the appeal and a
great uproar followed, during which
Stevens took the chair. Dunn was on his
feet and demanding action on his appeal
while there were loud cries of 'Sit down"
sim asking DR.. Dickie to rule upon my
appeal yelled Dunn. I'VE won't sub
init to this gag rule" Finally Dickie
came forward and amid a perfect bedlam
Of noise said there could be no appeal in
an unOrganized body. Dunn subsidized
pe.forcc, because his man withdrew his
name.
Another Fight Expected Today.
The fight today will be, to begin with,
over the platform. Elated with victory,
the free silver men are determined to
carry through a broad guage'' platform,
while the opposition is quite as deter
mined that it shall be a single issue plat
form, declaring for prohibition alone.
Each faction claims a majority, but from
yesterdays fight it would seem that the
factions are pretty evenly divided.
