Began This Morning.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 2.-The Balti-

this morning and transacted considerable
business. Presiding Elder Richardson OF
the Baltimore district, In his report, refer
red to the exclusion Of the pastor and
members Of the church at Lansdowne, and
requested Bishop Andrews to appoint
special committee to report on the matter.
A stirring debate over the plan OF dis
tributing the conference claimants 1und
took place. The point was: should tne

sity The conference decided In favor OF
necessity.
The anniversary Of the Epworth League,
in connection with the Baltimore confer,
ence. NJ. E. Church, which began its annual
meeting here today, was held last evening
at Grace Church. An address on The
Forward Movement of the Epworth
League was made by Rev. Dr.. Joseph +.
Berry, general secretary of the Epworth
League.
This session of the conference promises to
be a very interesting one, and some OF the
preachers have publicly state- that they
mean to expose certain anti-Methodist
practices on the floor Of the conference A
prominent minister of the conference re-
Gently made this statement to your cor
respondent:
..Connectionalism, it may be said. is fast
dying, and all the more rapidly because of
deals privately made and announced be
tween pastors and churches independently
of the presiding elders knowledge and often
to his disgust.
There is a widespread lament that Prov
idence no longer makes appointments, but
wirepulling and influential laymen and IA
voritism and standing in with the higher
powers That a radical departure is near
at hand, and that Methodism must knit up
it's raveled edges in these matters or suffer
the loss Of it's itinerancy for good and for
ever, is the milestone Of every ministerial
council in the land"
The conference will also be informed to-
day or tomorrow by Rev DR.. Henry Nice
that he has been born out of church at
Lansdowne, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, Of which he has been the supply.
DR.. Nice, who was ordered out of the
church by one of the trustees three weeks
ago, does not care to discuss the matter
before he makes his report to conference.
1.-The attack is not aimed at me personal
ly,' he said, but at the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, of which I am an ordained
minister DR.. Nice is well known in Wash
ington. having served charges in that city
years ago. He is one of the older men of
the conference.

ference is unworthy of any of you. If You
feel disappointed, don't tell any one. If it's
a question OF stipend, why, there's not
base ball pitcher in the country who could
not humble the Apostle Paul You have
submitted as well any body of men I
