For fifteen minutes it was much moro like bedlam broken loose. The session lasted for two hours and a half and the closing scenes were as disorderly as any that have marred any convention held in this city in years. The trouble was brought about by that pugnacious representative uf British politics, the Hon. J. W. Farmer Atkinsoz, M. P., who has distin- guirbed himself ou a number of occasions since the conference conveaed. In the course of an address that he mado he was called to order by & representative ¢ Methodiem and this staried him. Little pleasantries like “sta- : isa man” fell from him le hundreds were on their fect, some cailing for adjournment, some for the suspension of the offending member, while others shouted that they would withdraw from the conference untess the offensive words were Withdrawn or the Englishman himself sus- pended. When the seesion adjourned all sorts of ‘things were threateued and no one could tell what would heppen this morning. ‘The discussion on temperance proceeded quietly all the afternoon until the very last, when Mr. Lite happened to quote Wesley in support of one of his statements, THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Mr. Atkinson then got the floor and insisted that Mr. Lile had misquoted Wesley in that Le prohibited only dram drinking. As for himself he was as good a Bibie Christian as anybody, and he was a primitive Primitive Methodist, too. Mr. Atkinson went on to speak of the Prim- itive Methodists in connection with their name, to which he said they were no more entitled than any other imposters. ‘This naturally stirred ‘he indignation of the delegates from that church. One of them rose toa point of order the speaker had called the Primitive sts imposters and wanted those words Mr. Atkinson denied that be had the presiding Ge | nmg to rap thé i led to great con- hodists were ail on ding « retraction, and threat- ening to withdraw from the conference. WOULD Nor avoLoGizE. Dr. Stephenscn and otker Wesleyans were beseeching Mr. Atkinson to withdraw his re- mark and apologize, bu: he bluntly refused to do erting that he had nothing to apolo- gize for, and that if the delegates would not consume his time he would explain. As they persisted in their demand: for retraction he characterized their “stupidity” in forcible terms, and seeing no chance of restoring har- mony, the presiding officer, who had exhausted every effort to calm the troubled waters, de- clared the session adjourned, and the delegates sved out of the church’ after singing the Eoxologs. EVILS OF THE LIQroR TRAF¥IC. The evils of the liquor traffic occupied the attention of the ecumenical conference at its afternoon session yesterday at the Metropolitan Church. Half-past 2 was the time set for the beginning of the meeting, but at that time, ven the devotional exercises were conducted, there were not more than 100 of the del t, though the portions of the church ‘or the general audience were very well op Wayman of the A. M. E. church was presiding officer of the afternoon and the ‘on was opened with a hymn and devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. T. W. Hender- on of the A. M. E. church of Springfield, IIL, d Kev. A. M. Green of New Orieans, La. Prominent among those in the audience was pirs. George H. LaFetra, president of the Dis- trict W. C. T. U., and_ many other members of proceedings. “The Church and the Temperance Reform” was the subject of an earnest essay by Rev. P. H Mabon, D.D., of the Methodist church south, in which the speaker took the ground tuat the liquor trattic was the greatest and most prolitic source of evil in modern Uimes, and said that the church should be satistied with nothing less than a complete abolition of this iniquitous traitic, and especially of the sa- loon. ‘There was but little business to occupy the attention of the conference, the only matier of moment in this line being a report of the busi- ness committee making a number of changes the rules governing debate. These were adopted unanimously and the conference pro- ceeded at once to listen to the papers that bad been Presented. Dr. Mahon in his essay said that the annual cost of liquor to the people of the United States is £900,060,000. This exceeds all that is ex- pended in a single year for bread and meat to- gether by =90,000,000. The church must serve the cause of temper- ance. 1. By a total abstinence on the part of nd membership of the church i! participation in the liquor traffic and from the use of ardent spirits except in cases of necessity. The church should be satistied with nothing less than the eutire abolition of the liquor traific as it is carried on. Bat the church should assame no political ttitude with respect to prohibition. The church in its official or organic capacity has nothing to do with politics. 1t is to the interest of both religion and temperance reform that the churcia should hold herself aloof from all the political and partyalliances. Thechurch must seek to mold public sentiment by her m of imstruction, and give moral tone to society, so as to make prohibition both possible and prac- ticable. Nevertheless, Christian men, in their relations as citizens, should seek to obtain such practical legislation on the part oi the state as shall forever abolish the saloon. ‘There fs no consisteney in praying the Lord to s good fulers and good government and then cast one's ballot for a member of the saloon element because he happens to be the nominee of this or that political party. Such is the power and influence of Christianity in these lands that if ail church members would withdraw their entire patronage irom the liquor trac the question would well nigh be solved. RESULTS OF THE DRINK HABIT. Mr. Thomas Worthingtou, esq., of Wigan Independent Methodist and Free Gospel Church, followed Dr. Mahon. In character- ‘he drink habit as the cause of more evil vice than ail other causes together he said he was fortunate in never having tasted the aceursed liquor. Not having Timothy's stomach he had never tried Timothy's semeuy, but he had noticed that those that had ‘Timo- thy's stomueh did not find that his remedy cured, but that it was necessary to keep on ap- piying the remedy. xa id Mr. Worthington, those who believe in churchmen stending aloot from politics, for if these tok more interest in public matters we in England would hear less of co! s oa this side of the water and of shameful deings in your house of Congress, house of Seni cries of Ear, ‘Ear.] From this Mr. Worthington went on to make fervent attack upon — intemperance, the course of which he said that evance reform meant to him who had ver tasted intoxicating liquors reforming the liquor traffic entirely out of existence. One way to do this was by moral suasion, but legal reform was necessary to prevent temptation from beiug presented to men who had given over drinking. He wat net one of those who believed that Christians should keep out of politics. [Applause.} Were there more Chris- tian men in public life it would improve the character of American logisiative bodies. All men should unite in the effort to solve this question. LEGAL PROWIBITION OF THE SALOON. One of the most earnest and eloquent ad- dresses of the day was the one on “Ihe Legal Prohibition of the Saloon,” by Rev. C. H. Phil- lips, D.D., of this city, a well-known preacher of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Phillips held that no man had any right to buy or sell intoxicating liquors. Society had frequently asserted its right to prevent the taflic. | From necessity the right of ‘interfer- ence was ae Whether : Can be suppressed by law was no longer a qi n of propriety. Ixwas an evil that shoald be crushed. Nothing would from rinks probitition” tices ceasion and Cougress of states.” (Loud drinking but lege had failed. The government should no longer was in compact sanction @ traffic that traffic. The right of the was universally conceded, and it followed that italso had the right in'case of necessity to abolish it altogether. How long would of evils live if they did not fatten on intoxicants? The duty of the church was to creste healthy sersiment for that always into law. As Mr. Pickett fini ‘address a dozen or more would-be speakera were on their feet clamoring for recognition and Bishop We; recognized Bishop Gaines of AME. church. “Thank the Louh.” diacolated the reat Georgia bishop, as he ‘that his jurn had come to speak. BISHOP GAINES’ REMARKS. Z In his address he took the ground that if the southern colored people broke up the whisky traffic they would do as much good as the northern men who broke up slavery. Success must come through alliance with one or the other political parties. ‘That was the result of his experience in Atianta. Whisky must be conquered as was slavery. ‘The liquor traftic was doing more harm to the negroes than to the white men, becouse the latter got a better uality of whisky. But the best white mon of e south and thecolored men would join hands im the ght, and fight they would until they conquere: Rev. J.C. Simmons of the,M. E. church south, Santa Kose, Cal., was thé next speaker. He eaid he was a temperance itan by birth and blood. He inherited his strong convictions on this subject. Methodists everywhere, north, south, east and west, on this side of the Atlan- tic end on the other, are of one wind in re- gard to this subject. Why then has not the temperance, cause succesded better! It was because the friends of temperance had been led off on side issnes. ‘They haye been firing at shadows, making grent rents in their own houses while the wolf is destroying their children. RIGHTS MORK SACKED THAN THOSE OF PROPERTY. Rev. W. B. Kark of the Bible Christian church, Isle of Wight, England, saw evidences of a great public awakeniag to the evils of the liquor traffic, but as soon as the question was approached the rights of property wero trotted out. Were not there rights more sacred than the rights of property, oven if to protect them the government must tread on the rights of roperty? Even so radical a man as Mr. At- ingon would admit that. Kev. Dr. J. W. Haney, Methodist Episcopal church, Illinois, announced that be was a tem- Perance man and {hat tieense high or ltecuse low was vicious in principle, a failure in prac- tive and could never be legalized without sin. Mr. W. H. Lambie of Quebee held that the Christians of Canada bad a right to legal pro- hibition and they did have it in localities. Be- side the national law there were local option laws. It was the fault of the Christian people, therefore, if they did not have prohibition everywhere in Canada. ‘The trouble was that Christiaus preached and prayed temperance and then voted for party. There was no use to attack the saloon kecper, the only remedy lay in the ballot. Dr. Jos. Nettleton of London said that were turned off in all the Methodist pulpits they would be turned off in the saloons. Kev. E. V. Hoss, M. E. church south, Nash- lc, said that of the 4,000 itinerant preachers in his chureh there was not one who was not a total abstainer. He did not believe that the church should ally itself with any political party. PROHIDITION IX THE WEST. Rev. J. H. Lockwood of Kansas told how pro- hibition had been attained in Kansas by a majority of 7,000. The liquor men made their mistake when they agreed to submit the ques- tion to a popular vote. Key. Samuel N. Griffith of North Dakota told how prohibition had been secured in North Dakota. The Christians in 1888 had been de- feated by money brought into the state. In 1889, when the question again came up. $80,000 was sent into the state by the liquor men, but, of a colored infant | the union, who took the closest interest in the | owing to bickerings, it was not used to ad- vantage and the probibitionists triumphed. ‘The great danger the probibitionists had to face in all states was money sent into the states by the whisky trade. Rev. Philip A. Herbert, A.M.E. church, Den- ver, and Rev. Samuel McComas of Dublin, lre- land, spoke urgently of the necessity for tem- perance reform, the latter telling of the bless- ings attending the passage of the Sunday clos- ing He also denounced the limited lia- bility system of conducting the liquor busi- ness. Hon. J. J. Rogerson of Newfoundland wanted the church to go forth in the fight and close every liquor store in the world, WESLEY'S RULES COMPEL TOTAL ABSTINENCE. Mr. Jno. H. Lile of England held that Wes- ley's rules obliged ministers to be total absti- nence men and he insisted on that proposition, notwithstanding Mr. Atkinson's dissenting voice. ‘Mr. Atkinson was the last speaker and during the confusion that followed bis remarks the congregation managed to sing the doxology and the semsion adjourned amid the greatest order. ge ee New Carroll Institute Officers. The members of Carroll Institute last even- ing elected officers as follows: Ed J. Hannan, president; N. T. Taylor, first vice president; George Bogus, second vice president; Ed J.

A well-attended meeting of the District vol- unteers of April, 1861, was held at St. George's Hall, 1th and E streets, last evening. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: J. W. Bradbury, president; G. W. McElfresh, 8. F. Clements and M. P. Gorman, vice pres- idents; T. L. Lamb, secretary, und Jacob P. Smith, treasurer. The question of the appli- cation for recognition through a bounty was discussed. A suggestion was made as to the national eneampment of tho G.A.R. and whether the right of the line should not be given the District men, and it was discussed at some length. While all claimed that the Dis- triet troops were entitled to the honor, the sentiment was that as Joyal Grand Army ‘men they would go with their respective posts in any position to which they may be assigned.

He did Not Finish Before the Rock Creek Park Commission Yesterday. In the Rock Creek Park condemnation pro- coodings yesterday Mr. Maddox was followed by Mr. Frederic W. McKenney, ropreaguting Mr. A. K. Brown. Mr. McKenney first spoke of the inherent right of the humblest citizen to his home, and of the stross and particularity used by the Constitution and the law in cases of this nature as to just compensation for the land taken. Mr. McKenney, referring to the term of the most available use to which the lands in question could be put, quoted namerous au- thorities sustaining the position that, in passing upon the value of land, its most available use should be considered, even though the owner neither had the desire nor the means popes it to such most ayailable use. Mr. McKen- ney further contended that the clement of future value should receive due considera- tion, reading authorities to sustain the claim that proepective value might be the chief value of the desired land. Mr. McKenney also con- tended that the commission wascompelled to not only pay afull and fair market value for the land, but, in addition, was obliged to give just com- ensation for the damage done the remaining nd by such division. duty of the com- missioners was plainly to value each parcel of land as a distinct and separate picce, inde- Pendent in every way of every other parcel. if this were done and te bed regard for the Prices obtained for land adjacent to the park were had, he would state that, as far as he was concerned, the award of the commissioners would be accepted without @ murmur of dis- sent. ‘The hour for adjournment having arrived Mr. McKenney stated that he would require at least an hour longer to conclude his argument, whereupon Mr. Perry stated that he desired to withdraw his motion instructing the commis- sioners that they were at libert) to disregard any or all testimony shotld they so see St. This done an adjournment followed. Welsh Delegates at a Banquet. Wednesday evening at Evans’ restaurant on F Street the Welsh delegates to the ecumenical conference were agreeably and hospitably en- tertained at » banquet by the Cambrian Society of this city. The guests were Reva. E. Lloyd Jones, Rhye; David Young, Sheffield; Edward Reed, Machynlleth; J. Hugh Morgan,’ Bir- mingham; Kobert Jones, Bangor; John Grif- fiths, Aberdare, and Mr and Mrs. Richard Jones. All the ‘distinguished gentlemen made short speeches during the evening, and on be- half of the society the Revs. G. James Jones, Wm. Price and 8. F. Thomas made addresses of welcome. During the day the same gentle- men enjoyed a drive to Arlington. petite rman Several Cases of Larceny. In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, yes- terday Samuel Roane, a colored boy, charged with larceny from the person, taking » pocket book from Miss Emma Franklin on July 25, plead guilty, but begged a light sentence. Judge Bradley, however, gave him one year and a day iu the Albany penitentiary. . William Fox, colored, indicted for house- breaking (residence of William Mason) on June 26 last, plead guilty. Assistant District Attor- ney Clagett stated that the accused was a wit- uess for the defense in the case of Sam Moore, indicted for the murder of Henry Jandorf at the jail, aud it would be unfair to render him incompetent by sentence. He was seut back. Elia Braxton, alias y Jackson, plead guilty to the larceny of jewelry valued at €51 , 5.
