CLEVELAND, May 13-The delay
in the proceedings of the Methodist
general conference on account of the
failure of the committees to present
their reports is about at an end. With
the election of bishops and conference
officers, which begins tomorrow morn
ing, the conference will get down to
real solid work and the sessions from
now on are likely to be full of inter
est. Following the election will come
the settlement of the time limit ques-
ton and there will probably be a
spirited contest over that. The most
important business at today's session
was the adoption of a resolution
changing the time of the meeting of
the general conference from the first
of May to the first Wednesday in May.
There was much oratorieal sparring
among the delegates, but the best of

suance of bonds of the government in

ment should make the payment of bonds

UNPRECEDENTED.

Mr.. Smith Dem, N. J.) said he hoped
some amendment limiting expenditures
would prevail. The aggregate of the
bill, including contracts, reached about
900, an amount unprecedented
and double that in the best times of
the country Considering the business
conditions of the country and of the
treasury, part of the government
money being raised by bonds, congress
was not justified in appropriating "a
greater amount than ever before in
the history of the government. On
motion of Mr.. Frye the amendment of
Lindsay was tabled, yeas 81, nays IS.
The, detailed vote was substantially
the same as the previous.
Mr.. Allen Pop., Neb.) said he was as
tonislled that Democratic senators join
ed with Republicans in supporting this
bin. The vast amount involved would
be expended largely by Republican
secretary of war, according to the pres
ent political outlook, he said. It would
doubtless benefit Republican cam
paigns, and the senator said he could
understand why Republican senators
supported it, but not why Democrats
should. MI Allen pointed out in de-
tail the number of creeks, mill ponds
lagoons and bitches in the bill.

WANTED A SLICE.

Mr. Pate sought to secure an in
crease from $500 to $250,00j for Cum
berland river, Tennessee. The sena-
tor created a laugh by declaring that
while he approved economical appro-
priations yet il was hardly to be eX-
pected he would stand by and see peo-
pie getting a whole loaf and he not
getting a slice. The amendment was
tabled on motion of Mr.. Frye.
The bill was about to be put on its
final passage when Mr. Frye asked
fifteen minutes to answer criticisms
senator spoke with great animation
and was listened to with much atten-
ton. Never before, said Mr.. Frye, had
there been such unanimous demand for
river and harbor improvements as
there had been this year 1t had come
from all sections. 1t had been the de-
mand of the American people and in
response to that demand this bill was
passed. The bill was then put on its
passage.
Mr.. Smith (Den.) of New Jersey, de-
manded the yeas and nays.
On the roll call the bill was passed,
yeas 81; nays, 8. Those who voted in
the negative were: Bate, Tennessee;

FRYE RESENTS 1T.

Mr.. Frye vigorously resented Mr.. AL
lens remarks. The Nebraska senator
did rot know what he was talking
about, declared Mr.. Frye. Some of
these so-called creeks" were great ar
teries of commerce. This was an old
play" on the word creek. 1t was an
antiquated, WORKOUT play" heard
time and again.
1t was an antiquated worn out
"play" heard time and again. Mr..
Frye said he was sick of hearing sena-
tors rising here and talking economy,
when these same senators came before
the committee and demanded increased
appropriations.
Mr. Allen responded that it was al
ways possible for al artful mind to
conjure up a subterfuge OF defense for
any injustice.

ing the law as TO practice in the United
States courts in the Indian territory;

St. Louis.
Mr.. Allen sought to amend the bill
relating to practice in the courts of

question Of contempt in all United
States courts, except the supreme
court, and made a speech in support
of the amendment. He characterized
the abuse of the

This effort by Mr.. Allen brought out
a statement from him that he would
seek to get up the regular bill pro-
viding for contempt of court immedi-
ately after the disposal of the resolu-
ton for the election of senators by the
people.
Mr.. Mitchell said, in turn, he would
make an effort to secure consideration
of the latter resolution after the pas
sage of all the appropriation bills ex-
cept the general deficiency.
Mr.. Allen withdrew his amendment,
and the Indian territory bin was
passed.
A number of bills were passed grant
ing condemned cannon balls to the G.

literature taken and we find it bad pol icy not to sustain the church's own pub fishing house.
 Discussion ensued on the article pro- viding for disseminating of church doc Urine by tracts. It seemed to be the gen. eral sense of the assembly that the doc trines of the church compared with those of other churches should be generously circulated. Rev. Ira Landreth explain ed that the Cumberland Presbyterian had already planned to publish series of articles along this line in that paper and afterwards put them in pamphlet form.
 The report on publications and Sunday schools was adopted as read.
 J. NJ. Gaut explained the relations of the St. Louis book depository and the Nashville house.

 1. We find that s1 ,5oO 0OO, ,OO0 is thrown away yearly in the saloons. It has in trenched itself in the body polite and to a great extent controls legislatures. It f1ourishes in high society. It even intim- idates church members from speaking against it. It shakes itself in the face of the very pulpit Still we find the movement against the evil progresses and our own church is in the van Of this progressive reformatory crusade, all though we do not do all we should.
 ?. We recommend that as a church we more heartily cooperate with the Wom- ans Christian Temperance union, legiS- lative action to suppress the traffic, pub lie school instruction on the evil of the traffic, etc.

MIR. MORGAN's RESOLUTION. Probable Result of Conference by the Sub Committee With the President.

Washington, May 28.-Since the intro- duction of his joint resolution providing for the recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents Senator Morgan has been persistent in his efforts to have the committee on foreign relations make a favorable report to the senate. The testimony given before the committee by Dr. Alberto Diaz and Correspondent Lawrence has only added to his zeal for action on the subject. At the last meet ing of the committee a subcommittee consisting of Senators Sherman, Lodge and Gray was appointed to wait upon the president and have a conference with him on the subject. That committee visited the president this morning and were in conference with him about half an hour. No member of the committee will talk about the visit, but it Is under stood that the president expressed the wish that the matter be left just where it is, in the hands of the executive he be- lieving that through the diplomatic channels better and more effective re- suits can be secured than by the periodic introduction of resolutions in either house of congress. 1t Is understood that the committee will so report to special meeting of the full committee that has been called for to- morrow morning to consider the question, and if such a report is made 1t Is said that the full committee will not favor reporting MT.

woman. We thought diploma would be a step towards woman preachers and, therefore, did not want to give it.
 H. c. Yates--Would you give a diploma to a lay male graduate?
 Chancellor Green-I would give diplo- mas to candidates for the ministry and none other.
 E. l.. B. McClellan--Is the degree to be conferred to be considered one of the benefits of the assembly?
 Green-That Is for yea to answer your self. Gaughter).
 P. R. Danley-Could not lay male graduate prosecute his case in the courts and get his diploma?
 Green-He might prosecute his case; getting it would be another thing. Let the faculty and trustees have some few things left to them.
 Dr. Hubbert explained that when the seminary was opened to women to quali- fly themselves for missions, etc., giving degrees was not intended. But later a de- liverance was made at Meridian looking toward co-education of the sexes. This woman refuses anything but diploma. The faculty is evenly divided. and the board of trustees are indifferent. The woman does not want to be a preacher. Dr. Hubbert rather intimated that he was for the young woman.
 The vote was taken and the minority report was substituted for the majority report by vote of 97 to 27.
 Judge H. H. Norman offered an auend- ment that the minority report shall not
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-29

include the idea that women shall be ordained to the ministry.
 Pending argument on the Norman amendment the assembly took a recess until afternoon session.
 McMinnville Wants the Home.
 MeMinnville, Tenn, has shown up as a strong advocate for the location of the Orphans home. There is located at this place the fine buildings of the Cumber- land Female college, which, with the ground adjoining, are supposed to be worth $35, 600. McMinnviile offers these to the general assembly for the home. Probably the reason why McMinnville is willing to give these college grounds and buildings is because 1t is purposed, if practicable, when convenient, to operate a high school in conjunction with the Or phans' home In this way the place se- curing the Orphans home also acquires high school, and this accounts for the lively race for the home.

The Revised List.

St. Louis, May 2S.-The revised list of the dead foots up eighty identified in Stl Louis, three unknown dead at 1888 South Seventh street, two unknown children picked up in the streets and at the morgue, unidentified, the bodies of seven teen men and four women. The list of identified is being added to hourly It is expected that twenty-nine employees of the Liggett & Myers tobacco factory are in the ruins of the building. Twenty five employees of the St. Louis Wooden Gutter company are missing and are thought to have been killed when the building fell and buried them.
 In East St. Louis 113 dead have been identified. Besides these there remain unidentified bodies of thirty-nine men and sixteen women. Most of these are workmen around the different freight depots. Twenty men employed in the Vandalia freight depot are missing and are believed to have been killed when the building fell. A thorough investiga- tion of thedestruction is being made and 1t is expected that the death rate will exceed 200 Many injured on both sides of the river are beyond recovery. The list of injured reported numbers over 1900, and great many were located at home and no report made. The school houses in East St. Louis serve as tenn porary hospitals, while on this side the armory does the same service. Every private hospital is crowded.

 Mrs. Bixler Will Get Her Diploma.
 The committee on theological semina- ries reported on the Mary Hunter Bixler case. 1t was recommended that Mrs. Bixler's case be referred back to the trustees. A minority report on the ques- tion called for a deliverance from the assembly granting diploma to Mrs. Bixler. Mrs. Bixler, as stated before, is a member of the graduating class at Lebanon seminary and asks for diplo- ma and degree of bachelor of divinity, the same as granted to men, and this fac ulty has refused.
 F. M. McDavid spoke for the minority report. He thought Mrs. Bixler should get her degree. There should be no dis tinction between the laity and clergy or between men and women in conferrlng degrees, there being catalogue provisions for the same. He was not womans rights man. If this woman is not to get her degree the catalogue should not offer the same to men and women. Mrs. Blk Ter has done all that is required of her. She has even paid for her diploma.
 pr. F. J. Tyler-How does she stand in the class?
 pr. J. M Hubbert, dean of the semina ry-Better than some men. (Applause.)

The Scene Was Appalling.

At Chouteau and South Jefferson ave- nue and the streets to the southeast of them the scene of destruction was ap- palling. Many houses were reduced to piles of brick and lumber, the fronts of others torn off, resulting in debris and joined with poles, rendering it impossible to reach the injured with ambulances or to convey the killed to the morgue. The scene on Grand avenue. from the fair grounds to Carondolet, the center of the storm, resembled a thoroughfare of besieged city after a heavy bombardment by the enemy's guns.
 The street was strewn from end to end with trees, broken branches, telegraph, telephone and electric light poles that made traffic of every kind both tedious and dangerous in the darkness and amid fallen wires and 1t was with great diff culty that pedestrians made their way along the sidewalks, which were strewn with debris of every description.
