The Methodist Episcopal church has
become agitated again over the subject
of equal lay and ministerial representa-
ton ID the general conference. The
laymen and bishops are said to be ali in
favor OF it. but the ministers who at
present hold a large majority of the votes
IN conference where the matter has to
be conceded are not in favor of grant
ing this fundamental principle of equal
rights in religion. Those preachers
should be thoroughly shaken up on the
subject. They are just go years behind

command Of the European station,
went upon the retired list of the navy

the highest grade in the navy.
The father, Thomas .. Selfridge, is
now living in Washington, having re.

Sensational Outbreak of Attorneys Re.
buked by the Court.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. S.-Hun-
dreds Of persons, anxious to hear what
action Judge Woodward would take III
reference to the sensational outbreak at
adjournment between Attorneys Car
man and Lennehap, opposing counsel
in the Lattimer shooting case, thronged
the courtroom.
Judge Woodward spoke Of the Incl
dent, saying that after he had left the
bench and'before court adjourned, an
alteration had arisen between two of
the LAWYERS engaged in the trial, which
the cos,t did not fully hear, nor realize
the words until they were seen in the
newspapers.
"Had we heard" said the judge,
"what was said, we should have dealt
with the lawyers Il a summary man
ner as the affair S deserved, and 1t
there is a repetition Of it, we shall pun.

He would, he said, moi mention any
names at present, but ''if the astound.
ing falsehoods and misrepresentation
continue, tie representatives Of the
papers will find the door of the court
closed to them
Testimony Of just &c Jones
The first witness was Silas Jones,
justice OF the peace Of West Hazleton.
He stated that he had seen the meeting
Of the deputies and strikers at West
Hazleton, and followed the deputies
to Lattimer. He saw Sheriff Martin
advance toward them with a paper in
his nand. Some of them surrounded
him and an alteration occurred, but
witness could not exactly tell how the
alteration commenced, or how it ter
minated. He heard a couple of shots and
then a volley, aud saw several men fall.
Two who fell near him were dead. He
was asked what the spectators said
after the shooting. The defense OBJ.
jected, and, after listening to all the
arguments the court sustained the OBJ.
lection, thus shutting out the evidence.
This is regarded as IN important point
gained for the defense.
Just before the noon adjournment
the court accepted bail for all the &C.
cused deputies and the sheriff in the
amout Of $1,000 in each case, making
S4O2. 900 in all. Bail was furnished by
the Philadelphia Surety company.

he first organized the greatest none

III neither Britain singly nor the

the slow returns OF trade, America
will seize the pass Of narien. Their
noIt move will be to hold the Sand

middle, on the east and on the west
sides OF the new world. English
Americans will form the most potent
and singular empire that has appear.
ed. because it will consist, not in the
dominion OF Il part Of the land Of the

At the time when these words were
