TIME LIMIT ABOLISHED.
Most Important Work of the M. e.
General Conferences.

General Conference.
CHICAGO, May 23.-By a vote of 433 to
23S, the Methodist general conference to-
day abolished the time limit of pastor
ates, thus finally disposing of one of the
most important questions before the great
Methodist body, and doing away with one
OF the fundamental features of the timer,
ant system of the denomination. Here
after according to the amendment to the
discipline, adopted by the conference to-
day, preachers will be appointed annually
by the bishops, with no limit on the num-
Der of years pastor may serve one con-
gregation, except the limit imposed by his
own ability and popularity with his con-
gregation. He will still be a pilgrim and
stranger, but now may tarry longer
than five years.

Episcopal committee recommending that
Episcopal residences be established at
Zurich, Switzerland, and Shanghai, China.
DR.. T. B. Neelly opposed the report on
legal grounds. He said the sending of

was toward ecumenical Methodism. No

said, could exist without despotism. He
offered a substitute leaving the matter of
providing general superintendent to the
discretion of the board of bishops.

Democrats wanted the7bill to apply spea

A motion to recommit, with instructions
to change the language, was defeated by
strict party vote.
The house also adopted the resolution to

had been a marked increase in the num-
Der of teachers and scholars in the Sab
bath schools, also in the contributions of
the congregations. For salaries of min
isters and general work of the church the
amount raised by the home mission sta
tions was SOB, 434, an amount which exe
ceeded the expenditures for the work by
$l5,79 The tendency and effort Of the
congregations was to become self-sup-
porting, a feature of home mission work,
1t was stated, that more and more need
ed to be urged.
The report Of the board Of church ex-
tension showed that the proportion of
entirely new work had been greater than
in some of the recent years, but it had
been found necessary to make grants
for some older congregations, because Of
conditions which seemed to threaten their
continued existence. The total receipts,
including balance May /, 1899, were $685.
929, and the expenditures $50, 1856, leaving

penditures $49,5 ,521.

baphsms greater and the contributions
nearly 100000 more than in any previous
year But the net increase is still ia
mentally small'-only IL per cent of the
membership reported. The net increase

TO KEEP CUBA.

Mr.. Hale-I have very grave suspicious.
l think there are very powerful influences
In this country, largely located in New
York city, largely speculative and con-
nected with money-making enterprises
that are determined that we shall never
give up Cuba. L think that the time will
never come unless something earnest and
drastic is done by congress that the last
soldier of the United States will be with
drawn from Cuban soil. 1 do not think
the president faVors holding Cuba / dis
covered very powerful influences, COM
mercial, mercantile, money and political
that arc opposed to our ever withdrawing
from Cuba. l take up the newspapers
that arc foremost in the large cities and
L ind every day intimation and hints that
we are never to withdraw from Cuba.
Mr.. Spoorer-1f 1 were inclined 10 doubt
for one moment the United States gov,
ernment will seasonably withdraw from
Cuba l should be ashamed of the gov
ernment and ashamed of its action
Mr.. Hale-That assurance from the SEN
ator more than repays me fer all l have
said. I shall count on him in the future
Mr.. Spooner-To say that the senator
will count on me in the future is little
less than an insult. This is a govern
ment of honor and it is a people of honor
When the senator expresses a fear that
the peoples desire to keep the pledge of
this government will be allowed to slunl-
ber at the voice of commercialism he de-
grades the people and un0erestimates
their integrity. What have we done for
Cuba? Since the morning stars first sang
together in the heavens and looked down
Upon people, what have we done for
Cuba? AS rapidly as may be done In
good faith, not being hurried by dema-
gogry in violation of national honor, by
insinuation and venal politics in a presi-
