Claims Mckinley VIII Have 53S Votes on
the First Ballot.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Congress
Grosvenor says that inasmuch as every
body who has sense enough to under
stand knows that the contest is over
and that 40 earthly power can prevent
the nomination of Mckinley on the first
ballot, it is hardly worth while to issue
any more bulletins. At the same time
he issues table showing that McKin-
ley now has 548 delegates. He candidly
admits, however, that he includes con-
tested seats, to a total of co. that he re-
CARDS as sure for Mckinley. There are
y delegates yet to be selected, and of
these Mckinley will have 80 without
contest. Hence, excluding altogether
the contested seats, Mckinley will have
538 on the first ballot.
AS to the claims that some delegates
may go back on their instructions, Mr..
Grosvenor says he has no knowledge
that there are any scoundrels elected as
delegates, nor has long contact with
vicious men in politics polluted his
mind to such an extent as to make him
believe that other men are willing to
demonstrate themselves as wilfully dis
honest

BISHOP c. Il. FoW1E1..

They are to draw up the constitution,
and after it is completed, it is to be pub
lshed in all official papers of the church
within 80 days after its completion. The
commission is also authorized to devise
rules for election and not less than three
nor more than six months afterwards,
the church will vote on it's adoption.
Only those over 81 years of age will be
permitted to vote, and the result shall
be certified to the secretary of this gen
eral conference. If adopted by ma
jority of those voting, the constitution
so adopted shall be effective at once.
The resolution was referred without
argument to the committee on constitu-
ton.
The conference soon got into snarl,
in which the local morning papers were
attacked, and in which the meeting of
the committee on state of the church,
held Monday afternoon, came out prom
inently. In that meeting Dr. Quayle,
in the course of his remarks about the
Christian Endeavorers in their attempt
to secure a recognition of the Deity in
the Constitution, used the language
which appeared in the morning papers,
which is as follows:
''Not long ago that organization not
only made itself ridiculous, and all the
churches which it represents, but actu-
ally made the religion Of Christ ridicu-
lous by praying for the redemption of
Bob Ingersoll. Do you think that the

of such an act of absolute idiocy?"
Cries Of mo, no.
Dfsclei imed All Responsibility.
F. J. Cheney of Central New York
then arose and presented a resolution
which recite1 the fact that the local
morning papers had SO quoted a mem
Der of the conference, and disclaimed
any responsibility of such sentiment by
the general conference. He presented
the resolution for adoption. It not only
disclaimed responsibility, but also en-
dorsed the endeavorers. AS soon
as it was read, two motions were
made, one to refer to the commit
tee on EpwoGth League, and the
other to lap on the table. Bishop Fow-
Ter ordered the vote taken on the motion
to refer. A mistake was made in the
counting and a second vote was or
dered. DIR. Buckley desired to present
a substitute. but Bishop Fowler
refused to entertain it. The
vote on the motion to refer to
the committee on Epworth League, was
then lost by vote of 162 yeas to 245
nays. Mr.. Henry French of California
moved it's adoption, when Rev ". w.
Quayle Of Kansas City, who had made
the remark, arose He is youthful
looking delegate, and after stating what
he said concerning the Christian En-
deavorers, denied the nse of the Ian
guage attributed to him. Every attempt
by Mr.. Cheney to get at the facts of the
case was howled down. Every denial
of the article called out wild applause,
but Mr.. Quayle said he did say certain
