DISCUSS THE BOER WAR
DELEGATES TO METHODIST CONFER
ENCE IN HOT DEBATE.
They Take Sides for and Against the
Policy of Great
Britain.

LONDON, September "a stormy meet
ing of the ecumenical Methodist conference
resulted today from the reading by the
Rev. c. W. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa, of a
paper on THE Influence of Methodism In
the Promotion of International Peace y
The five-minute rule was adopted, and the
pastors made fiery speeches for and against
the war in South Africa. The campaign
came in for lot of criticism, and finally
the chairman ruled reference to it out of
order. Many Americans took part in the
discussion, but none of the more prominent
bishops spoke. The speeches were pune
tuated by frequent noisy Interruptions and
cheers and counter cheers. There was a
scene of considerable disorder, and the dis
cussiOn terminated without any conclusion
being reached.
The Rev George Elliott of Detroit, say
ing he had often been called a little Amer
lean, bitterly denounced the war.
The Rev. r. j. Cooke of Chattanooga de-
Tended the necessity of hoStilitieS to vindi-
cate q principle.
The Rev. ]. NJ. King of Philadelphia said
the best solution of the question was in
President Mckinley's sentences uttered at
Buffalo. as follows:
The period of exclusiveness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce is
the pressing problem. Commercial wars
are Improbable. A policy of good will and
friendly trade relations Will prevent re-
prisals Reciprocity treaties are in har-
mony with the spirit of the times; meas
ures of retaliation are not.
The reading of President McKinleys re-
marks brought forth loud applause.
Robert w. Perks, a member of parlia-
ment. a prominent contractor and vice
president of the Liberal Imperial Council,
deprecated the usefulness of clerical mani
festos. He believed that some wars were
necessary, but the growing tendency to-
w
to the influence of corrupt, unlicensed jour-
nalism.
The Rev. E. E. Hoss of Nashville. Tenn.
said it would be impertinence for the con-
ference to tell Great Britain what to do in
South Africa.
