An Unsuccessful Attempt to Postpone the

Bowman. the venerable senior bishop OF
the Methodist Church. presided over the
Genera' Conference. probably fOr tie last
time, this morning. THIS is tie sixteenth
gay - he conference. None o. tne great
questions 10 be settled by the conference
have yet been discussed on the floor. The
great question Of time limit. lay repre-
! sentatiOn, amusemcnts. temperance. rec
osnicOn OF Methodist Christian EndsAyCr

cation OF Episcopal residences ia United

questions are yet 70 come up.
Rev. Charles l.. StalrOr, Of Iowa, put
the conference 81 great uproar by NOV
ing that the election OF bishops be IndcH-
nitely postponed.
'I am satisfied he said. "that We do
not need these bishops and the vote OF
the last few days looks as though the
conference thought 40. too. Any ten
bishops In good health could attend 10 all
the work, and we have fourteen besides
two that have been declared non-eaec-
tive"
Rev. DR.. Buckley said. Are YOU sure
that the remedy offered Is good for
patient? What IS our situation? Three
men have already had 6 majority Of votes
cast. and one man caE a. within thirty or
forty votes OF being elected To post
pone this election would make this con-
ference and our great church ridiculous

dioceses Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church they have taken fifty and sixty
ballots and then adjourned for six months
20 think over It. without election. and yet
the election of n Methodist bishop carries
with IL more power than dozen pro-
testant diocesan bishops. The remedy Is
this: Let tho voting 60 on until we elect
bishop or until IL becomes plainly ape
parent that we canot elect anybody"
Rev. James 4. Mace Of New Jersey.
said:
II hope the motion 20 postpone VIII pre-
vail II is plainly apparent that we have
no Episcopal timber in the conference
