LAYMEN. REVOLT
Rebellion Said to Have Broken
Out in the Methodist
Church.
It Is of Sufficient Importance to
OvershadOw the Woman
Question.
Laymen Demand Equal Represen-
tation With Ministers in Gen.
eral Conference.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The Times Her.
aid says: Rebellion has broken out in
the Methodist Episcopal church. The
laymen demand equal representation
with the ministers in the great quad.
riennial legislature Of the church. Three
times have the ministers voted on the
question and defeated it., and the lay.
mep have lost patience.
The church will be brought face to
face next week with a revolt that will
probably overshadow the question Of
women delegates in the general con-
ference. Representatives of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey conferences is-
sued an address for the change. Lead.
ing laymen of Indiana called q state
convention to meet at Indianapolis next
Wednesday to consider the question. A
lay convention representing the Cincin-
natl conference, sent greetings last
week to the Indiana convention and
urged the calling of a national conven.
ton.
The laymen of the Central Illinois
conference have called a convention to
meet at Canton, Sept. II, and that
meeting will probably take action on
this question. Another big lay conven-
ton will be held in Baltimore next
month, and if not forestalled by the In.
dianapolis convention it is expected to
issue a call for a national conference of
Methodist laymen to make plans to
bring the ministers into line. 81.
Under the rules of the church, each
conference is entitled to one min

ference for every As clergymen.
Each conference is entitled to at least
one lay delegate, but in no case can il
have more than two.

THE WIN.

South Dakota Commission En- Joined From
Putting New Rates Int Effect.
Sioux FALLS, Sept. 10.-Judge Gar
land of the federal court has issued a
temporary injunction restraining the
South Dakota railroad commission
from putting into effect the new sched-
ule Of rates recently adopted. The
eight railroad companies were each
called upon to furnish bonds in the
sum of $40, 900 to cover the costs.
In rendering the decision the court
said that in case the rates were put
into effect the companies would have No
recourse and he held that the companies
were entitled to q chance that the rates
were unreasonable before they went
into effect. The hearing will take place
within 20 days.
Counsel for the roads intimate that
II the permanent injunction is denied
the cases will be carried to the supreme
court of the United States.

ready IN its grasp the contract for 5000
IONS OF armor plate, to be furnished in

The Carnegies nave done much work

fXed price. That the big Pittsburg
irm has already signed the contract, or
yill sign 1t at once, is borne out by the
GLOWING statement made by a Car

We had made all arrangements to

irnment AT that time expired, but the
Russian affair puts a different face on
the matter. You can safely say thai
the armor plate mill Will be running

There Ia much speculation over the
price to be paid by Russia, and it Is
scarcely thought here that the price

The Carnegies made their first armor
