important business was transacted to-

the committee Of temperance and the
committee on the state OF the church In
regard to the ban on card playing, the

ments.
Politics Rung In the Debate.
A strong political color was given
the discussion on the temperance ques-
ton by the bitter arraignment Of Pres
ident Mckinley because Of his attitude
on the antl-canteen law, but after SONS
decidedly warm debate the conference
refused to criticlse the attitude of the
chief magistrate by striking out by an
Overwhelming vote all reference to any
action on his part or that of Attorney
General Grlggs. The minority report
on amusements, accepted Saturday,
was, to the surprise of many, laid on
the table, which action leaves the par

CHICAGO. May 2s.-The Methodist
General Conference took an unexpected
action in regard to the committee re-
ports on card playing, dancing and
other prohibited amusements. The
official vote by which the minority re-
port was accepted, recommending no
action. was announced as 1898 ayes and
2sO noes. Then, to the surprise of the
large audience, on motion of Or. Buck
ley. the minority report was laid on
the table by a vote OF $50 to 253
Bishop Fitzgerald then ruled, how
ever, that the question was no longer
before the house. 1t is extremely i'm
probable that the matter will again be
taken up for action, so the standing Of
