Question Without Settling It.
METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH.
The Lack of Courtesy to the FratArnal Del

tho Polish Catholics An As
Surad Fact.

CLEVELAND, O., May 6.-No sooner
had the Methodist Episcopal general
conference opened to-day with Bishop
Warren presiding than a resolution,
which provided for changes in the con-
stitution of the Epworth league so
that women might become trustees OF
the league, was presented. The con-
ference next decided to elect bishops,
book agents of New York, book agents
OF Cincinnati, secretary Of the mission
airy society, secretary Of the board OF
church extension, secretary OF the
Freedman's Aid and Southern Educa-
tional society, secretary of the Sunday
School union and tracts and editors of
the different UNCONVENTIONAL papers.
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
churches appealed to was adopted A
resolution was next presented that
commission consisting Of three bishops,
three ministers and three laymen to
act with a similar commission already
appointed by the Meth odist church,
south, looking toward confederation
of the two churches, should be APP
pointed. This and substitute by
Rev. Daniel Stevenson, of Kentucky,
for negotiations and report in 1900
were referred to the committee on
state of the church.
The hour had arrived for the special
order of business and DR.. Leonard, of
Cincinnati, was recognized, but he
yielded the floor to DR.. Kelley, who
presented series of resolutions depre-
eating the lack of courtesy extended
to DIR. Moore as fraternal delegate
from the Methodist Episcopal church,
south. 1t appears that through mis-
understanding scant courtesy was eX-
tended to him, and he was not well
coined as he should have been. The
resolutions conveyed the most humble
regrets and apologies. DIR. Buckley
amended by inviting him to visit the
| conference again, and after brief APP
plause the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Rev. Dr. D. II. Moore, of Cincinnati,
opened the debate of the morning on
the woman question. His speech was
followed in rapid succession by at least
20 others. Two hours were consumed
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 re-
ferred back to the committee ON eligi-
bility with instructions to report back
tomorrow morning as the first order
of business. The conference then adj
journed. A final vote on the woman
question is hoped for tomorrow.
The movement of Father Kolaszew-
ski, the pastor of the Independent Cath
Ole church, to transfer church and
congregation to the Methodist Episco-
pal fold, is said to now be an assured
fact 1t is stated that long consulta-
ton was held yesterday between
Father Kolaszewski and Chaplain c.
o. McCabe at which the former offered
to turn over all the church property
and bring the entire mem bership of
:. 200 people into the Methodist church.

afternoon because the company re-
fused their demand for 81 for eight
hours work in place of their present
wages, 81. % for II hours work. The
strike is likely to extend to other de-
partments of the great plant if the
company does not accede to the demand
of the fremen. The strikers have a
strong union and expect the other
union men in the house to support
them by laying down their tools. This
is the dull season in packing and there
are now only $500 men on the Armour
