the Methodist Conference.
TO PAY THE WOMEN’S EXPENSES.
Two Extra Territorial Delegates Ea—
clndod-Rev. Mr. Shannon's‘seat ne-
clared to be Legally Ills—Bosolutlons
in Memory of the Deceased Delegates.
New You, May 0.-—The Methodistgen
eralconference has been in ae-ionatthe
Metropolitan Opera House eight days, and
the work of determining who are its members
isnot yet completed. Yesterday the report
ofthesecondcommitteeondisputedeeatawm
taken upaud considered awiatim. Some of
tarecommendations were disposed of, but
oneortworemaintobeactedontoday. The
cases referred to this committee were all,
save thoae of the women, can in which the
legality of the election was disputed.
The conference yesterday was under the
superintendence of Bishop J. M. Walden, of
Chattanooga. Dr. J. M. Buckley, who has
all along been an uncompromising foe to the
admision of women to the general confer-
ence, relented a little, and offered a resolu-
tion, which was adopted, providing that the
conference pay all the expenses of the rejected
women delegates. But when Dr. A. J. Kynett
oflered a similar resolution, of which Mrs. 11
Stone, a reserve delegate from South India,
was to have been the beneficiary, it was
tabled.
The report of the committee on contested
sum was taken up umiersuspeasion of the
rules. The most interesting cases considered
werethweofJohnM. Phllli ofthetlrmof
Phillips 8; Hunt, of this city, and erGovor-
nor Robert E. Pattison, of Pennsylvania
Mr. Phillipe was elected as a lay repremnta-
tive of the Mexico conference, and Mr Patti-
eon as a lay representative of the North India
conference. ThenameofJ. M. Cornell,a
reddent of New York and reserve delegate
of the Italy conference, was before the com-
mittee, but was omitted entirely from the
reports. Two reports were presented on the
has! of Phillips and Pattison.
Eleven members of the committee re-
ported that they could find nothing in the
rulesof the church requiring that lay dele-
gates should reside within the limit of the
conference they represented ln considera-
tion of thisfact, therefore and of thogood
faithcf the conferences that elected Messrs.
Phillips and Pattison, they recommended
that than gentlemen be seated, but thata
modificationof therulaebembmitmd tothe
annual conferences, making extra territorial
"presentation in the general conferences
hereafter unlawful. A precedent for the
majority report was found in the action of
theeonference of 1884, recognizing Stephen
Barker, of New Y orb, as a representative of
the Italy conference.
A minority of six submitted a teport op
posing the admision of Mean P illipe and
Pattison. The minority didn't be to that a
single unfortunate precedent should be made
the basis of a pernicious custom. Rather,a
newand more logical precedent shonldhe
net. lfthethecryof extraterritorialrepre»
sentatibn were adhered to it would make
Bishop Taylor’ I converts on the banks of the
Congocligible asrepresentatives of‘ any con-
forcnce.
Inthc debate which followed the confer-
encedividad pretty much as it did on the
woman question, and nearly all who had op
poaedthe adm'nnion of women favored the
conservative interpretation of the constituv
tiou that would have excluded life-rs. Phil-
lips and Pattisou, .
When the final vote was reached the minor-
ity report was adopted—4m to 116. This ex-
cludes Mr. Phillipeandex-Governor Pattison.
The only other case acted upon was that of
Rev. W. A. Shannon, of the Montana con~
ference, whose seat was contested by the
Rev. F. A. Biggie. The majority of the
committee recommended the sealing of
ltiggin because of the apparent illegality of
certainvotescastforfihannonatthe annual
conference. The minority heldthat the evi-
denceouthispoint was not conclusive. As
before, the minority report was adopted, and
Mr. Shannonwill retain his seat. But the
conference thought Mr. Riggin had such a
good prima facie one that hisexpeuses ought
tobepaid,anda motion to that effect was
adopted
Further consultation of the committee’s
repcrtwaa deferred while resolutions were
readand adopted iltly commemorating the
virtueaof the two daceaaed delegates, Dr. C.
J. Clarkand Layman Inavitt Bates. Then
themembersofthe conference sang in low
tunes, "1 Would Not Live Alway." The air
was that of “Bonn, Sweet Home." Theeifect

As early as March 1 Mr. Nash verbally
tendered his resignation to Postmaster Gen-y

of Mr. Dickinson be withheld it until certain
mail contracts then being negotiated with
western railroads were closed On April to
be formally wrote his resignation, which
again Mr. Dickinson asked him to withheld

said he could:not do, but would remain in the
service a rcasouablotime until Mr. Dickinson
could decide upon his successor. This the

Mr Dun Sin—Knowing as I do from repeated
interviews with. you since I came to office not
onlv your earnest wish to be relieved of the
duties of the place you honor. but also the
urgency of the private aflalrs which have long
needed your attention, it it but a tardy act of
justice to you that l formally comider the tender
of your resignation .
A longer acquaintance with and experience of
your rare ability, your industry, tact, patience
and strength in the difficult administration of
one of the most important branches of the service,
and the benefit 1 have derived from your stench
aid and helpful counsel in the solution of new
and grave questions which have arisen in the ad-
ministration cf the aflairs of this department,
have tended to delay and make more reluctant
this consideration. It is with the utmost. regret
that! now admit that to longer keep you in the
service would be to call for an added sacrifice on
your part which neither the country nor myself
can justly claim.
in accepting your resignation. to take effect on
the appointmeutof our succesoor, it is fitting
that I should bear estimony to your unselfish
devotion to the public interest. to your conserva-
tive and safe judgment in important business
affairs, and to your steadiness and bravery in
doing right always. Very respectfully yours,
