M'KlNLEY UNDER DISCUSSION
ANIMATED DEBATE AT METHO-
 DIST CONFERENCE EINDANBURY.
Brought About by the Temperance Conn mittHe's Report Denounclng the Ad- mintstratton's Action Regarding the Army Canteen Law-Rev. Dr. GiIbert's Attttude-Report Finally Amended.

Danbury, Conn, April 9.--The repor
 of the committee on temperance pre-
 sented at this mornings session of the
 New York East Methodist Episcopa conference evoked the hottest debate o1
 the session and developed a sensation
 al incident in which national politics
 was involved in the discussion.
 The chief interest in the report was
 centered in the paragragh referring tc
 the army canteen law which has been
 discussed by the various conferences ot
 the Methodist church all over the coun-
 try this year. The action taken by the
 administration was denounced and
 while the name of President Mckinley
 was not directly mentioned in the par- agraph which referred to the action of 1 the government as "a plain perverson of the law he was plainly referred to hours.
 1 In the discussion many pleasant things were said about President Me Kinley, who was characterized by one of the speakers "as one of the best men that ever ruled the nation" while Dr. A. w. Couch of New York provoked a storm of angry protests when he assert ed that if a democratic president had acted in the same way in regard to the anti-canteen law as President McKin- ley had done there would not be one supporter in the conference, and he was warmly called to account for his declaration.
 The discussion was opened by Rev. a1ri af "a he was unwilling to go on record as de- nouncing the chief officer oe the land. Rev. Dr. Williams of Brooklyn said he for one would not take part in belittling one of the best men that ever ruled the nation, and was of the opinion that the conference would be placed in a false light if the report was accepted. Rev. Dr. Folsom of Brooklyn said that the president was magnificent ruler in every respect with the exception of the anti-canteen law. Presiding Elder Van Alstyne said the president was plainly referred to by inference and there could be no mistake in the object of the report Rev pr. Reed of Dickinson university, who opposed the report maintained that MT. Mckinley had act ed rightly in taking the advice of At torney General Griggs in the matter.
 The conference amended the objec- tionable paragraph by voting that the conference regrets the action of the administration in regard to the an- ti-canteen law" and urges congress to pass new law on the subject. The report was then sent back to the com- mittee.
 Dr. Levi Gilbert of New Haven pre- sented resolution drawn up by com mittee of which he is member, urg- ing church members to take more active part in political caucuses and primaries in order to secure the election of man properly fitted for the posi- ton to be filled. This resolution was

Reports from British Governor-Hopes
 for Peaceful Settlement.

These efforts have been violently opposed by the Coomas- sic tribe with the result that two Brit ish constables have been dangerously wounded and one has been killed.

tion on THE manner in which the un-

wish to make a statement of my
connection with THE matter. l held
the inquest as the article stated, and
also in the line of my duty had an
autopsy performed. To do this the
body was of course stripped After
this the body, as usually the case, was
turned over to the undertaken for bur-

light for this purpose I personally do
mated $3.50 out of my pocket that the

Instead of box I knew the corpse
was placed in a coffin but as to wheth-
er it was clothed or not for interment
cannot say. I simply wish the pub
lie to know that if there was any lack
of respect to the dead, it was not from
any action of mine Respectfully
