WOMEN MAY SIT.
"A Discussion of Interest to Delegates to
the Methodist Conference.

discussion of Interest to Delegates to
the Methodist Conference.
Cleveland. May 2.-Aside from the ad-
dress which was read by Bishop Warren
OF Denver. there was nothing of especial
interest in the second days proceedings
OF the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference. The four women delegates who
are likely to prove a bone OF contention
continued to occupy their seats and vote
the same as men delegates, but their
fate will probably be decided at a secret
committee meeting which is being held
this evening. Upon the report of this
committee, which will be submitted to-
morrow. the fight of the conference is TO
be made, and. IL is not likely that much
other business will be transacted until
that question is disposed of.
The committee on eligibility, which
was appointed at yesterdays session to
consider the question whether the wo-
men delegates shall be permitted to sit
In the conference, met this afternoon
at the First Methodist Episcopal
cnurch. The entire afternoon was de-
voted to a discussion in which the op-
ponents OF the women took the leading
part. Rev. j. r. NJ. Buckley, editor of
the New York Christian Advocate took
the lead in opposing the seating Of the
women. He said II would be in viola
tion of the constitution, doubly so be-
cause at the last general conference an
amendment had been proposed to the
constitution, that amendment having
been submitted to the annual conrcr-
ence in the meantime and defeated DR.
Buckley said he did. not oppose giving
women the right to vote on the suppo-
sition that the right to vote would
mean the right to be voted, for II often

go with the former.
After discussing the question until
O'Clock the committee adjourned to
meet at 1880 O'Clock in the evening. At
the committee tonight, II is learned
on reliable authority, a vote was taken
which resulted, 20 to IL, in favor of per-
mitting women delegates to retain
their seats in the conference. At a
meeting of laymen tonight IL was de-
cided to demand equal representation
in future conferences for layman and
minister

5'OOO ana 1000 spectators attended the
national circuit races which were given
In conjunction with the Floral festival
to-day. The races were devoid of SEN
sational features, the poor condition of
the new three-lap track and a heavy
wind hampering the riders to such an
extent that the mile made under three

Bozeman, May 2.-When district court
opened this morning. Judge Luce. for Pc
ter Scollick, the Timberline murderer,
held the attention of the jury for. three
quarters of an hour. in an argument for
the prisoner. He declared that the jury
could do but one thing, and that was TO
acquit the prisoner. the charge OF murder
in the first degree being simply prepos-
ferrous. He was followed by County At
torney Holloway, who made the closing
address for the state. He asked the jury
to deal out justice in its verdict to this
commonwealth, as well as to the prison.
er. He drew the tury's attention 10 the
fact that murder had been proved. That
no one denied; that Scollick was a mur-
derer. but that the case now centered on
circumstances under which the murder
was committed. Was II done through
malice aforethought and deliberately?
He thought 1t vas, and for 40 minutes he
dwelt on this phase of the evidence as
given in the trial.
Judge Armstrong then charged the
jury, and at 1l:30 o'clock they filed into
the jury room. w. T. Brandenburg was
foreman of the jury. the other members
being NJ. T. Lewis. John Kiefer, T. j.
Huntsman. A. F. Flagle. Charles Eaton,
Jacob Carolus, III. /. Border. Samuel Ow-
ems. c. A. Colburn. John Cowan and
George l.. GoTden.
At 4:S0 o'clock this afternoon the Jury
came TO an agreement, finding the pris-
oner guilty OF murder in the second de-
gree. This was as light as the general
public had thought possible. but Luce q
Luce, for Scollick, at once gave verbal
notice OF a new trial. stating to a repor-
ter afterwards that they did not feel the
evidence had shown malice or premedita-
ton, and this being the point OF differ
ence between murder in the second de-
gree and manslaughter. they felt that the
most the prisoner should suffer was a
verdict OF the latter. Judge Armstrong
has not set the time fop sentencing the
prisoner.

of trouble on account OF Cuba was not

the preservation of the peace we might
dictate the policy OF the two American
continents.
Mr. German. in reply. contended that
the naval bill furnished the first in

ernment. He declared that he had
taken the same position on this bill
that he would have taken under a re-
publican adminiStra ton. He said that

and denounced him (Gorman) person

count of the interest the administra-
tion was taking at that time In the

Mr.. Sherman said the country was
In no condition to undertake any un-
necessary expenses, and the house had
made sufficient provision for torpedo
boats. He thought there was no occa-
sion for any increase, as there was no
prospect for war with any power.

The committee amendment authoriz-

tract for the building of two submarine

not exceeding $i75.000. was agreed to.
After considerable discussion the SEN
ate refused to agree to the committee
amendment striking out the house pro-
vision for an increase of 500 men in the
marine corps.
Mr.. Bacon offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, providing that
bids for armor for vessels shall not be
received II they exceed s35 Ga ton. An
amendment was offered by Mr. Allen
providing that one of the torpedo boats
shall be built on the Missouri river.

London. May 2.-It is rumored In
this city that the assassination OF the
shah OF Persia was brought about by
the Vaccinations of his eldest son.
Massoud Mirizia. governor of Isphun.
The latter was born in 1850. while the
new shah, second son OF the deceased
monarch. was born in 1853: but the hat
ter Is an offspring OF a wife OF higher
rank, and thus was chosen TO succeed
his father in place OF Massoud his eld-
er brother. He has often rebuked
MiTizia for his unruliness. and in 1883
recalled him and only allowed him TO
return TO lpshun after disbanding some
OF the regiments and ordering him 70
pay more than the usual tribute.
Massoud Mirizia, who Is also known as
the Zilles sultan. or Shadow of the
Kingdom" resented this treatment.
and II was believed that he might make
an attempt TO usurp the throne. Mas

and Intolerance, and on the other hand
Muzafar Ad Din. the new shah Is
much loved by the people OF the prov
ince OF Azerboijan, where the Persian
army is chiefly recruited. The diScon-
tent of the papist sect. upon which
Massoud Mirizia is believed 10 have
worked. is due to the fact that the late
shah did not allow them TO establish
their religion. his refusal TO do so be-
ing based on representations made to
his majesty that II would conflict with
the existing faith in Persia and split
the people into religious factions.

ArchbI.hop Irernu as peciarnt,op.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The dec
laration made by Archbishop Ireland is not
open to the charge that 1t involves preaching
party politics. During the civil war that great
Roman Catholic prelate, Archbishop Hughes,
went to Europe with the Hon. Thurlow Weed
and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to aid in pre-
serving the territorial and political Integrity OF
the nation. No one charged Arch bishop Hughes
with preaching politics. but every body recog-
nized the great and patriotic service he rem
dered to our imperilled country.
AT the present time tho financial, commercial.
moral. and political integrity OF the republic has
been attacked by free silver POpalstc rebels.
They are justas much rebels against free in
stituttons as those who took M nrms against
the republic in 1861, and il Archbishop Ireland
has done wrong In denouncing them and de-
Tending the honor of the republic. Archbishop
Hughes did wrong when ho went TO Europe
for practically the same purpose.
The integrity, preservation, and parpetuatlon
of free institutions are involved in the great
struggle Which is to close upon the I'd day Of
November next II is contest with ballots.
and not bullets. but II ls still a contest for the
safety Of all that IL dear aud sacred In our free
Government. FRANCIS WAYLAND GLEN.
