FEELING HIGH ON ADJUSTMENTS
Delegates to General COnference Are
Much Aroused.

BALTIMORE, May A.-(special) 1.-The
proceedings OF the last few days OF bishops
OF the general conference were of rather
quiet aud routine character. As In all
large conventions. considerable time is lost
by the making of motions of a character
that does not forward the business of the
gathering. A great deal Of time has been
lost by motions to seat various people on
the platform. Nearly every morning a
dozen motions have been made to seat as
many delegates of former conferences on
the platform. Amid great applause DR..
Jesse W. Jennings Of the north Nebraska
conference made a motion last Saturday to
seat all delegates Of former conferences on
the platform and the motion was carried
with laughter and unanimity.
The regular routine work OF the confer
ence is as follows: Devotional exercises.
