The Statu3 Ct Women in the EpwOrth
League Brought Up
By a Resolution Extending Their
Sphere of Usefulness in That Or
ganlzation-A Suggestion for
Confederation Of the Northern
and Southern Branches of the
Church.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 6.-The four
women delegates will retain their seats
in the Methodist general conference.
This was practically decided at the
meeting of the committee on eligibility
held tonight All but two OF the 81
members of the committee were pres
ent at the meeting. Long discussion
was INDUCED in behind closed doors
and at its conclusion the result was an
nounced. Two reports will be submit
ted to the conference in the morning.
The majority report will recommend
that the women delegates be permitted
TO occupy their seats and participate in
the proceedings, and that the question
of admitting women TO future confer
ences be referred to the annual confer
ences for decision within the coming
year.
The minority report will insist that
the women are not eligible to seats. 1t
is believed that the majority report will
be adopted with little opposition and
taat the question will be disposed of
so far as the present conference is con-
cerned.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 6.-The woman
question in the NJ. E. general confer
ence seems to be irrepressible. No
sooner had the session opened to-day
than a resolution which provided
changes in the constitution of the Ep-
worth League so that women might be-
come trustees of the League was
launched upon the conference. This res
olution is interpreted to mean another
fight on the woman question. The res
olution will be made the order of busi-
ness a week from to-day.
Bishop Warren was at the helm this
morning. The conference began pro-
ceedingS in a bIsiness-like WY.
1t was decided to elect the bishops
and other officers on May Is. The Or
der of election was suggested in res
olution which was made a special order
for Thursday morning.
A resolution to increase the amount
of the fund for the relief of worn-out
ministers and widows and children Of
deceased ministers by having the church
appealed to, was adopted.
This was followed by a resolution
which had a great deal of meaning to
the church. In the preamble, it said
that Rev. DR.. Morris, fraternal delegate
Of the NJ. E. Church South, in his ad-
dress to the conference, recommended
that a commission consisting of three
bishops. three ministers and three lay
men, to act with similar commission
already appointed by the Methodist
Church South, looking toward a con-
federation Of the two churches, should
0e appointed.
A motion was made to refer it to the
committee, but it was demurred to-
Several delegates thought it would be a
good plan to act on the matter at once
and not refer it to a committee. They
were united in the opinion that the
resolution should be decided on the
matter and without great deal of dis
cussion. in the courtesy to the NJ. Z.
Church South.
Rev. Daniel Stevenson, of Kentucky,
presented a series Of resolutions as
substitute.
Both papers were referred to the COM
mittee on state of the church.
The hour had arrived for the special
order of business, and DR.. Leonard, of
Cincinnati, was recognized. He yield
ed the floor to Dr.. Kelley, who pre-
sented a series of resolutions deprecat-
ing the lack of courtesy extended to DR..
Moore, as fraternal delegate from tha
NJ. E. Church South. 1t appears that
through a misunderstanding scant
courtesy was extended to him, and he
was not welcomed as he should have
been. The resolutions conveyed tho
most humble regrets and apologies. DR..
Buckley amended by inviting him to
visit the conference again, and after a
brief applaudation the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
Rev. Dr. d. II. Moore, of Cincinnati,
opened the debate of the morning on the
woman question.
The speech of Rev. DR.. Moore was fol-
lowed in rapid succession by at least
twenty others. Two long hours were con-
sumed in the debate and just before the
hour for adjournment the reports Of the
majority and minority on the question Of
the admission of women were referred 10
the committee on eligibility with instruc-
;ions TO report back tomorrow morning as
the first order of business.

THE MARSHALL COUNTY FIELD.
All the reports from the Marshall
county Cow Run field are of the most
encouraging nature, and the indications
are that a good deal of money will be
made down there during the summer,
as the wells do not cost much TO put
down, and the returns appear to be GER
tain upon small investments.
Another new company, called the
Springer Oil Company, has been or
ganized by seventeen gentlemen, mostly
from this city, and they will put down
well at once, work having actually
been commenced. The company con-
trols three hundred acres near the Rog-
erson well of the North Penn Oil Com
pany. fifty-five acres of the territory be-
ing the Yancke farm. which touches
the Rogerson and Otto farms, and their
prospects are strictly first-class.
The owners of the Otto well COM
menced pumping yesterday, and the
first few hours work showed the well
10 be doing an average of 125 barrels
a day. which is somewhat better than
the Rogerson.
Work has been stopped on the Rog-
erson No. 3, on account of losing the
cable.
The we'll on the Griffith farm is
nearing the sand, and will be drilled
in about Friday of this week. A good
producer is expected.

% it, sole declaration on the money
question Mr.. Bryan would have bolted
the convention. What he meant by thin
plank in 1880 nobody knows. There
was certainly nothing in Mr.. Bryan
attitude on the silver question 10 1890 tc
induce the silver mine owners to make
him Q proposition to enter their employ.
Ia 1892 the financial plank on which
Mr.. Bryan ran for congress, and which
he wrote himself. was rs follows:
I'VE are in favor Of the double stand
ard Of gold and silver money; that we
are in favor OF the reversal OF the great
monetary resolution from TIE double
standard OF gold and sill or to the single
standard Of gold, % clandestinely &C.
complishsd by congress in 1873 that the
that the most astute statesman in the
most knowing OF all places for such
knowledge. James G. Blaine. speaker Of
the house OF representatives, did not
know when it was done. We affirm that
the manner OF its going and the fact
that 1t that time silver bullion was ut q
premium Of per cent above gold bull
lion. justify the prevalent suspicion
among the masses that that clandestine
monetary resolution was the first
move u an organized scheme
to permanently establish in Amer.
ica moneyed sristocrscy. and
throw such light on the purpose of
the continued and persistent opposition
to all efforts and movements to re-estab-
lish silver la it's rightful place of free
coinage occupied by it in the American
monetary system from the beginning Of
the government up to 1873; that we are
in favor OF only the honest dollar OF
equal value with any other dollar, and
to that end we demand the immediate
restoration Of silver to Is right OF free
coinage, when it then can be determined
whether the former ratio between gold
and silver is just, and il need be make
fair readjustment of the ratio
between them, not by clandestinely
demonetizing and thereby striking down
either one or the other. but in an honest
way, as the same thing was done under
the administration OF Andrew jackson
unoer the congressional leadership Of
Thomas H. Benton in 1884"
There vas nothing about the ratio OF
l6 to 10 this declaration, aud nothing
TO claim the interest or attention OF the
silver mine owners.
10 1894 Mr.. Bryan reached the point
where he declared in the platform for
the immediate restoration OF the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver at the
present ratio OF l6 to 1, without waiting
for the aid CT consent OF any other
nation on EARTH Then il was that the
silver mine owners turned to Mr.. Bryan.
Then it was that series of significant
circumstances gave rise to the suspicion

Elk Congressman Cornish has shown
his usual political scumen in Withdrawing
from the Congressional contest and accept
ing the nomination for Presidential Elector.
He will have the honor and dignity of
heading the Democratic ticket, and go
down in the general wreck without loss OF
personal prestige. His statement that
Mr. Cutler Is the logical Democratic
candidate for Congress in this District
is true, looking at it from a Democratic
standpoint. A party that turns itself
squarely around on the money question
in its State conventions within few
months, and is abandoned by its leaders
OF ability and Influence, is logically
Obliged to look for candidate who
either has no positive convictions on the
momentous questions OF the day that he
Is not willing TO change for the sake of
office, or one who has failed to keep
abreast with the spirit of the times MIR.
Cutters speech at the convention would
seem TO indicate that he belongs TO the
latter class, and imagines that the same
state OF affairs exists in this country at
present as existed from fifty to one
hundred years ago. The Fourth
District has no use for any Rip Van
Wrinkle politicians this year, and pro-
poses TO elect that wide awake up to
date young man, Mahlon Pitney, and
have a representative who will have some
weight aud influence In the councils OF
the -Morristoaon JerSeynadn.
