PAsToRATE TIME LIMIT.
Methodist Conference Does Away With
This Feature of Church,

Chicago, May 23.-By Associated
Press.)-The Methodist general con-
ference today resumed discussion Of
the passionate time limit. The dis
cussion this morning was mainly over
the minority report of the COMMITTEES,
which provided for five year extern
sion7o the pastorate only on three
fourths vote of the quarterly confer
ence. An amendment was offered
substituting the word three for
five" in section 3, paragraph 173, of
the book of discipline, thus returning
to the three year time limit, but with
the provision that the pastorate may
be extended Tor periods of three
years by majority report of the
quarterly conference.
Amid much confusion a motion vas
made to lay on the table the substitute
minority report and all amendments.
1t was adopted. The substitutes of
fered by the various delegates were
also voted down. The vote on the ma
Jority report of the committee on IT,
inerancy was then called for, result
ing: Ayes, 433; nays, 23s. This dis
poses of one of the most important
questions before the Methodist body
and does away with one of the funda-
mental features of the itinerant sys-
tenn of denomination. Hereafter the
preachers will be appointed annually
by the bishop, with no limit on the
number of years a pastor may serve
one congregation. Fraternal greetings
We're exchanged with the Presbyter-
ian assembly at St. Louis.

A COLD AND WET WEEK.
The Past Week Has Been Above Nor.
NAL In Amount of Rainfall,

Des Moines, May 23.-The regular
weekly climate and crop bulletin of
the department of agriculture, Iowa
section, was issued yesterday as fol-
lows:
The past week was cooler than usu-
al, with great excess of cloudiness in
all parts of the state. There was a
prevalence of cool northeast winds,
with more or less rainfall in the larg-
er part of the state every day of the
week except Sunday. The amount of
rainfall was light in the northwest
district and in the western counties of
the west central district. The balance
OF the state was copiously watered, the
amounts reported ranging from 0.7O to
800 inches. Except in few localities
the rain fell moderately, the bulk of
the moisture being absorbed by the
soil and very beneficial to grass, small
grain crops, potatoes and vegetation
generally.
In the larger part of the state field
work has been much retarded or en-
tirely suspended during the week; and
in nearly all districts there is a portion
OF the corn acreage yet to be planted.
Early planted corn has germinated
fairly well, making about an average
stand. About the usual amount of re-
planting will be done, as the result of
damage by cut worms, defective seed
and excessive moisture in undrained
fields.
On the whole the weather conditions
have been favorable for staple farm
crops, gardens and orchards.

lions for the Place.

Des Moines, May 23.-The Leader
this morning published a story to the
effect that friends of John +. Lacey
want him to try for the nomination
Tor vice president. The article fol-
lows:
Another Iowan's name, according to
well authenticated reports, is to be
presented to the photographers of the
country in connection with the vice
presidential nomination. This time it
IS none other than the Hon. John =.
Lacey, congressman from the Sixth
district. 1t is announced that the
movement, which originated in Iowa,
is to be launched on the sea of nation
al politics in the course of three or
four days, and that it has promise of
very ffattering backing. Congress
man Lacey is recognized at the ma
tional capital as one of the effective
members from the west. He is an ex-
ceptionally well informed man on pub
lie questions; indeed, many declare
that no member of the Iowa delega-
ton aside from Senator Allison, is so
readily at home in any discussion that
may come up. He is a student and /,
hard worker; a good speaker and "a
ready debater. He has had consider
able experience as presiding officer
in the house; is popular in Washing
ton and is poor enough to be desir-
able candidate, this having been con-
sidered qualification by many of the
participants in the discussion of can
didates heretofore presented. More
over, Major Lacey has the great advar-
tage OF being veteran of the civil war
in which he attained some distinction
as very young and capable officer.
Those Iowans who have been taken in
to the confidence of the Lacey boom
promoters are united in the opinion
that he would be on the whole a
highly acceptable candidate, and that
| if a western man is to be named it
would be difficult to do better from
the standpoint of politics.
