The Discussion of the Question a Heated One--Many Committees Report and Much Business is Done--The Conference Votes to Adjourn Next Thursday. OMAHA, Neb., May 25.--Bishop WARREN presided over the Methodist general conference yesterday. No time was lost, business being energetically taken up. The committee on Episcopacy filed a report recommending that an Episcopal residence in Europe be added to the present list. The committee on revisals recommended that the many petitions to establish the six months' probationary term be denied. A minority report recommended that the time be reduced to three months. The committee on temporal economy, to whom was referred the matter of chaplains in the army, recommended that the conference demand that an adequate number of champlains be appointed in the army; that they be regularly commissioned officers and not mere contract men; that three bishops be selected to recommend suitable candidates for appointment in the army, and that the nearest Sunday to July 4 be known in the church as army and navy day, and that services on that day pertain to the welfare of those bodies. The committee on judiciary, to whom was intrusted the interpretation of the words "lay delegates," after a general comment on the matter reported that they had decided that no other interpretation than the present one can be made--namely, that "lay delegates" means male delegates and not female. These reports were laid aside for the present in order to take up pending business. Dr. SMITH of New York moved a suspension of the rules to take from the table his resolution to adjourn Thursday at 1 p.m. It was so ordered, and the resolution was carried by a vote of 200 to 167. Homer EATON was elected treasurer of the Sunday School Union society and the Episcopal board, with Lewis CURTS as assistant. Daniel DENHAM was appointed treasurer of the Tract society. The salaries of Dr. WARREN, editor of the Northwestern, and A. E. ALBERN of the Southwest Advocate, was continued for three months until they can secure appointments. Dr. JENNIFER, in referring to the southern outrage, said: "We have set apart May 31 as a day of prayer to God Almight that He, in His mercy, may forgive this great crime of the South, and bring the nation's attention to the horrible state of affairs. We rely on prayer. We do not go to dynamite, but our knees for redress." James E. BROGGS of Wisconsin offered a resolution denouncing capital punishment and recommending that solitary confinement be substituted, and asking the conference to demand that these laws be expunged from the statute books of the various States. This resolution was laid on the table with a rush. Dr. POTTS of Michigan offered a resolution empowering the bishops to submit to the annual conferences a proprosition to admit women as lay delegates, but it was quickly referred without debate being allowed, although Dr. POTTS was ready to do so. The chair recalled its ruling on the point of order sending Dr. POTTS' resolution to a committee and Dr. POTTS was given the floor for debate. This at once precipitated the woman's question. Dr. POTTS said he thought the conference would adjourn without acting on the subject, and as many delegates were elected on the issue of admitting women to the general conference he demanded that the conference act on the matter. Dr. MOORE of Ohio, offered as a substitute the following resolution: Resolved, That the General Conference holds that in all matters connected with the election of lay delegates, the word "laymen" ought to be understood, and must of right be understood to include all the members of the church who are not members or presidents of the Annual Conference. Dr. BUCKLEY, red in the face, was on his feet in an instant and secured first blood by raising the point of order that the matter was now before the Judiciary committee and should be referred to that committee. The chair so held, amid applause. Dr. KYNETT moved that this matter be taken up as the order immediately after the report of the committee on judiciary, and it was so ordered. -------- Copyright © 2006 Linda Humphrey Permission to Saline Co., NEGenWeb Project
