Questions TO BE Discussed.

Cleveland, O., May MANY questions
of supreme Importance to the denomina-
ton. and action upon which will be
awaited with intense interest by Metho-
dists the world over, will be acted upon
during the months session of the gen.
eral conference. Chief among these is
the question of admitting ONE dele
gates. This issue has been voted upon
by all the annual conferences, but the
necessary three-fourths vote has not
been secured. the total vote being 1918
for admission and 2,529 against. The
women have, therefore, lost by eighteen
votes, and a change of ten votes would
give them seats In the conference. Four
women delegates are accredited to the
present gathering. but as the committee
on credentials must be governed by the
existing rules, they cannot be recog-
nized to take any part in the proceed
ings.
The proposition to change the basis
OF ministerial representation from one
delegate for every forty-fve ministers
to one for every sixty-five has also been
lost.
The question of abolishing the time
limit is also an important one. At pres
ent no minister of the church can re-
main pastor OF one church for more
than five consecutive years. This is
based on the old itinerant theory of the
denomination, and it is now proposed to
abolish the time limit. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the proposition will
carry. An effort will be made TO modify
the rules OF discipline adopted by the
conference Of 1872 against dancing, card
playing. theater going, attending cir
cuses and horse races or ~patronizing
dancing schools. II Is commended that
these rules have barred out from the de-
nomination tens of thousands Of young
people who otherwise would be glad to
Identify themselves with it. Several
new bishops will be elected, together
with numerous officials, including book
agents, society secretaries and editors,
