Bpectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Crxcrynatt, May 23.—The General Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Chuch this morning left its business, so far as action on, reports was concerned, just where jt found it. Immediately after the reading of the journal they took up the reports from the Committee on Book Concern relating to the publication of the Church papers at Atlanta, New Orleans, and Portland, Ore. The ma- jority favored the discontinuance of that in Qregon, and the continuance as here- tofore, which means with a subsidy of not more than $2,000 a year each, of those at the other places, The minority antagonized the subsidy, and favored the consolidation of the papers at Atlanta and New Orleans, and or- dered that all periodicals, etc., be put on a strictly paying basis. A motion to adopt the majority report being made, a substitute was offered to adopt that of the minority. Then caine a debate, lasting till 11 o’clock, that was among the most able and orderly of the session. The Rev. H. T. Davis, of Nebraska, was against the majority report, because it was opposed to sound business principles, and because it was in violation of the sixth restrictive rule, which cannot be changed by this Conference, as that rule-declares the proceeds of the Book Concern shall be used for the relief of superannuated preach- ers and the widows and orphans of deceased ministers. Dr. Fuller, of Atlanta, insisted that the Proposed action was not a violation of the law, for the Book Concern was not organ- ized merely to make morey, but to spread religious literature. After this, if any profits were left, they should be divided as had been said. He argued that there was a good pros- pect.of the paper at Atlanta becoming self- sustaining, but in any case it was vital to the success of the work of the Church in that region. Ex-Gov. Stannard, of St. Louis, was not against the papers as such, but only against the Book Concern contiuuing to publish them ata loss. If they were needed on be- half of the Missionary Church Extension, or Freedmen’s Aid work, let these Societies sustain them. He was utterly opposed to the Book Concern carrying such losses. Dr. Goodwin, of Llinojs, argued that they should be no better to the poor and needy in the North than they were to those in the South. Let it be well understood that the Centrat Advooate, published at St. Louis, has during the last four years sunk over $11,000 more than that at Atlanta, and $3,000 more than that at New Orleans. Will Gov. Stannard vote fer the suspension of the Oen- tral? Are the poor whites of Southern Ili- nois, Kansas, or Missouri to be treated better than the poor whites and colored people of the South? I receive the Western from Cjn- cinnati six hours before the Central, and I read the one from New York the same day. It is not time, but adaptation, that must decide this question. These papers are needed badly; needed to strengthen, and establish, and codperate with -all the other work of the Church, and should be continued at all events. Why keep St. Louis and blot out Atlanta ? Dr. Hitehcock, one of the agents of the Book Concern in this place, made a remark- ably able speech, full of facts and figures, to which nothing but a full report could do justige, showing such vigor of thought and delivery that it has made many remark that it should make his calling and election sure to a continuance in his presentoflice. There has been considerable opposition to Lim worked up on score of his age. He insisted that the report of the mi- nority was misleading, and_ calculated to damage the Book Concern. For instance, it makes a great ado about the indebtedness, but fails to state that it was for real estate which, in great part, is rented, thus bringing in nearly enough to pay all interest. The net profits of the two houses last year, after paying all losses and expenses ordered hy the General Conference, was nearly $100,000. If the principles of the minority should prevail, then we skould stop our Swedish and Nor- wegian publications, which are essential to the snecess of our work among those people, beside several other publications in yarious important quarters, This is not a violation of the sixth restrictive rule, for the rulesays after the Book Concern has retained suf- ficient capital to carry on its business then it shall make such and such disposition of its rofits, But it is for you to say whatisits Business. ‘Tis is in accord with sound busi- ness principles, when you consider the: purpose of the Concern and the work of the Church. Why not let this department of our Church, organized for this very purpose, bear its own burdens and dq its stipulated work ? At 11 o’¢lock a motion was made to lay the motion to substitute on_ the table. The yeas and nays were called for, but failed by two yotes. This started such a scene as probably has never before been witnessed on the floor of a General Conference. Prior to 1673 the General Confer- ence was composed wholly of, ministers. That year lay delegates were admitted. A part of the law under which they caine | in provid .s that doth Orders shall sit and detii erate as vac voy, byt that, whenever ordered by one-third of cither Order, the vote shall be taken separately, and in all such cases the concurrent votes of both (Orders. shall be nn eessary to complete an action. On sever ocensions, inthe Conferences of 1872 qnd.1576, efforts were made toward securing a_sep- arate vote, but it uniformly failed. When the mution ta Jay on the table was mace this morning, Philip G. Gillett, President of the Deaf and Dumb Insiitution at Jacksonville, Ill, and a lay delegate, called for a separate vote. The call caused instant and profound interest, that soon deepened into excitement, and, before the vote was completed, was the occasion of tumult and confusion. ~ Col. Ray appealed lo, Ae: Gillett to with- draw his cal] and save time. “Brother Gillett will not do it,” was the Tesponse. The yeas and nays of the laymen were called, and tha call for a separate vote was sustained, the vote standing 41 to 71. Gov. Evans asked for the eas and nays on the motion to lay on the table. Dr. Buokley. made the point of order that by the action of the laymen each Order for itself must determine its own method of voting. ‘ ‘Bishop Merrill, presiding. answered, “Yes, under the circumstances, you have reached a point outsida the written law, and must make rules in this case each for yourself. ‘The law says you shall vote separately, but does not fix the matter.” Dr. Curry appealed from this decision. but the Chair was overwhelmingly sustained. r. Hare moved that it take thirty to call for the yeas and nays on the ministerial side. Buckley wanted to debate this, but the Chair shut him off, as they were acting under an undebatable question, to which these were but subsidiary motions, and therefore. partook of ihe nature of their principal. Points of order rattled in thick a5_hail- stones in a storm, but, fortunately, the Chair- man wag not under obligation to recognize everybady all at ance, and ga nu mention was made of more aban, ons a a dozen, ue ; of “Question,” "Qrder,” ete, same fae, rose. to a perfect din. Amid it all the Bishop stood, kept in splendid b- |- of the Board. od humor, handled the matter quietl: Finais, bat steadily, repeatin; nearly a donee times the ruling that in the absence of writ- ikon anf Stns Ge nti wee ence 16 motion was al vight. This he held to amid a bewilderin deluge of motions, points. protests, an privileges, milngled with eries for question, etc. He carried himself through the storm with such remarkable coolness and ability that he has won a deservedly high place among presiding officers. Aft length an amendment by Dr. Walden prevailed, that during the separation for voting the rules of the whole body govern the ministerial order. This made fifty necessary to call the yeas and nays, The laymen fixed twenty-five as necessary to call for them on their side, The call for the yeas and nays on the motion to lay the minority report on the table was callod for by both orders, but the call failed to be sustained in each, only twelve minis- ters and but eleven Jaynen voting for it, The vote was then taken by count, and re- sulted: Ministers for laying on the table, 181; against, 95; laymen for, 39; against, 60. So‘the motion to lay on the table, not having been concurred in by both orders, was lost. It was now a few minutes past 13 o’clock, and the Conference had to adjourn at once. This was the historic occasion of the first de- cisive stop toward two houses of legislators. The unseemly confusion had to come under the present bungling plan for lay delegation, and if no worse comes ont of it hereafter some wise men will be mistaken, The records of this morning will be studied as among the most suggestive of the General Conference. Just after the main vote, and immediately before adjournment, Gen. Fisk rose in his seat, asking, “ What is the subject before us? We cannot hear back here. Some of us went to the Wagner concert and have not been in our right minds since.” «+ The Bishop, still standing and guiding affairs, dryly remarked: ‘I have been quite impressed that somebody was in that condi- tion,” and the tension gave way in immense applause and repeated laughter, which let things down in good condition. THE PRESBYTERIANS. Special Dispatch co The Chicago Tribune, Manpisox, Wis., May 22.—In the General Assembly this morning devotional exercises of half an hour were conducted by the Rev. F.C. Montford. A fervent prayer was of- fered for two members who had been sum- moned home to watch over the dead and dying.

Resutved, That in ordinary cases no appropria- tion should be made to the widow of a minister who bas children able to give hor support. Resolved, That incase a minister who volun- tarily in health leaves the work of the ministry for ome secular employment, and follows that employment fora serics of years, and then by failure in business has come to want, such & cxuge should be regurded as a voluntary re- Haquiahnent of all claims upon the funds of the jourd, The Rev. Dr. George Hale, Secretary of the Board of Relief, spoke at length, and made a strong appeal for aid to the Conven- tion. ‘The Rev. C. H. A. Bulkely, of Port Hen- ty, N. ¥., spoke in favor of the resolu- tions. 5 The Rev. Mr. Goodale, of Cedar Rapids, spoke at some length against the resolu- tions. The Rey. Dr. Sprague, Chairman of the Committee, explained the resolutions. Dr. Henry A. Niles, of York, Pa., offered an amendment recammmending to the churches the necessity for largelv-increased contribu- tions for the aid of this cause. Elder Baker, of New Jersey, spoke in favor and the Rev. Mr. Adams, of New York, against. Without action on the resolutions, the assembly adjourned for dinner.

Spread Abroad Literally Like the Leaves of the Ancients. A Reporter Astonished at What He Saw. ~ One of America’s Special Indus- tries by Which the Whole World Is Benefited. “A building five stories bigh and nearly 100 fect square, flanked by another nearly as large, where all is bustle and activity, the first equipped witn heavy and intricate machinery, driven by an hundred horse-power engine: tons of india- rubber and various medical ingredients, under- going manipulation; experts watching the dif- ferent processes of manufacture. Judge of our surprise when told that this immense laboratory (located in South Brooklyn) was devoted to the Preparation of Benson’s Capcine Porous Plaster. We had never thought of this branch of buei- neés at all, und, if we had, it would have been merely a passing idea-of n little room with a few plasters for a few people troubled witb back and other aches; bur here, looking at the many busy women engaged from morning to night in box- ing and lnbeling the plasters, to be made ready for the ‘market every day, one is amazed at the enormous consumption of thom thero must be. ‘Where oo earth can so many go?" we asked. ‘Everywhere; come into our shipping depart- ment and our statemgnt will be verified,’ and it was, for the books sfuwed orders from nearly every part of our globe. These plasters seem lke tho leaves the ancients wrote about, that were given for tho bealing of the nations, to be gent into every part where there was pain.” Brooklyn .) Eagle. ‘The great Success of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster is due to the fact that it is not only far superior to all similar articles, but an invention of absolute value. [tis prepared with the great- est care and skill, and contains the ingredients for rapid relief which is demanded by this pro- gressive and impatient age. It hasbeen awarded medals, National and International, forits merit. Eminent pbysicians have spoken and written in its favor, hence it is widely known and respect- ed. The fact is that there is a vast amount of pain that cannot he relieved so quickly, and a certain class of ailments which cannot be cured an promptly and permanently, ns by the use of this article. So' it comes that all clnsscs use it. ‘The mother procures it for the child who is af- flicted with Whooping-Cough or Weak Lungs. One complains of a Lame Back or Lumbago and is recommended to try Bengon’s Capcine Porous Plaster. A. suffers with Rheumatism and finds that nothing removes the twinges like this Plas- ter. They nre used for Sciatica, Kidney and Spinal Complaints, Weak Muscles. and Aches and Puins generally which are best treated ex- ternally through the pores. Wortbless imitations of Benson’s Capeine Plasters are sold, but imposition can ensily avoided and the genuine secured by seeing that the word Capeine is correctly spelled. MOTOPATHY. MOTOPATHY.
