Methodist Episcopal General Con-

tant Conclusion.
Question Has Been the Subject
Of Dispute for Upwards Of
a Hundred Years.
Chicago Gathering Attended by
Delegates From Every Sec

CHICAGO, May 3.-The goth general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
c~hurch-the 23d Of the delegated con-
gress-began here during the day. 1t
will last a month and is expected to be
the most important Of any conference
since the memorable one of 1874 when
the South branch Of the church severed
relations with the main body over the
slavery question. The pit Of the Audi
forum theater was filled with delegates
representing Methodism in all parts Of
the world. OF the $50 delegates ell.
titled to seats the greater number were
present.
BY a unanimous vote the delegates to
the conference decided t give equal
lay representation in all Methodist con.
%ferences. The announcement Of the
vote was greeted with cheers, as it was
q victory that had been fought for for
100 years.
A fight was expected owe the matter
but 1t did no materialize. The subject
was introduced by Rev. J. NJ. Buckley
Of the Central New York conference.

the last general conference with the ex.
ception Of Nos. / and IS. This was

ton made at the Rock River conference
was for equal lay representation in all

unanimous approval followed. The
book Of discipline. in reference to rep
resentation at conferences, was changed
to read thus:
The lay delegates shall consist of
one layman for each annual conference.
and such annual conferences as have
more than II ministerial delegate,
which conference shall each be entitled
TO as many lay delegates as ministerial
The provisional delegates, by a prac-
unanimous vote, were admitted
to a in the conference. There was
some doubts as to the outcome Of this
early, but the vote over the
equal representation proposition cleared
these away and the overwhelming vic.
tory was not a surprise.
