which were pr esented as a substitute
for the majority report.
THE COMPROMISE RESOLUTION.
The compromise resolution states
that the church distinctly repudiates
all acts of concealment, misstatements
or unfairness ON the part OF the
church's representative in prosecuting
the collection of the claim, whether
the same did or did not affect the vote
or opinion of any Senator or Repro
sentative.
This did not meet with the approval
of some of the so called conservatives,
they contending that the church could
not retain the money and adopt this
resolution.
Several amendments were proposed,
but voted down. Consideration of the
matter was still pending at O'Clock,
when Conference adjourned.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON WAR CLAIMS.
Majority Condemns Both Stahlman
and Barbee & Smith inority
Asks For Return OF Money.

Dallas. Texas, May l7.-This morn
ing the committee on publishing in
terests submitted a report to the Gnu
ference, in which Mr.. Stahlman was
squarely condemned for the decep.
tions used in securing the war
claim" money. Another item con-
dennis Messrs. Barbee ana Smith for de-
ceptlons which they have been
charged with using in the same matter.
By rule of the conference this report
of the committee on publishing in
terest went to the calender and cannot
be taken up from the calender for
twenty four hours without a motion
to suspend the rules governing all
such bills. A minority report from
this committee not only moves to con-
denim the methods of Stahlnan,
claiming that he in many points vio-
lated his contract with the book COM
mittee, Barbee and Smith, but does
what the report of the committee
does not DO, viz. recommends
the return of all the money, 1888, 600,
to the government.
The minority report of the commit
tee on publishing interests also con-
dennis the book committee in their
actions in securing the services of Mr..
Stahlman and in clearing themselves
of all blame in the premises. This
minority report was a very lengthy
paper, requiring about two hours for
the reading of it. This report urges
at great length that every dollar of the
money secured by our agents from the
government be returned to the govern
ment. The paper is regarded by many
as strong and able document. 1t pro
poses the following items or resolu
tions:
l. That all the money be returned.
2. That committee of nine be APP
pointed by this conference to report
some plan by which this money can
be returned,
g. That we commend the letter
written by our bishops to the United
States Senate.
The resolutions are signed by James
Cannon, Jr., of Virginia, chairman.
Both reports were ordered printed
after much discussion. The war
claim matter will come before the
conference next Tuesday at 10 o'clock
and be continued until the matter is
settled.
The discussion over the printing of
he minority report caused one of the
tormiest scenes ever witnessed in a
religious conference. Owing to lack
