CHURCH EXTENSION Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., March 13.—Both the ministerial and lay bodies of the Baltimore annual conference of the M. E. Church met today at Broadway Church. Interest cen- tered in discussion of the ‘“acon™ resolu- tions and in the election of delegates to the general conference from both iocal hodics. Majority and minority reports on the Bacon” resolutions were set down for the special order at 9:30 o'clock. An effort was made to defer the election of delegates un- til Monday, but failed owing to the estad- lished custom of holding the election or Friday, which the older members of the conference would not break. The memorial of th> conference of 1: men held last June 2lso went <o the com- mittee having in hare the Bacon reso'u tions. The memorial inlorses the senti- ments of that paper, but leaves it with the ministers to decide. . The full text of the resolutions as finally amended in committee is as follows: “That we favor the admission of laymen to the annuai conference in such proportion us shall hereafter be determined. “That we tavor the election of presiding elders by the annual conference, “That we favor making the presiding el- ders the constitutional advisers of the bishop and that no appointment be made without the concurrence of at least one- third of his cabinet.” Owing to the lack of one member of con- ference, that body is entitled to only four delegates to the general conference. This Was another reason for the desire to posi Pone the clection until later in the session. Bishop Warren yesterday set at rest the minds of the anxious ones by stating if the transfer was not made in time a fifth delegate could be elected later. Opening the Discussion. ‘The church was crowded this morning when Rev. J. A. Price opened the discus- sicn on the Bacon resolutions by present- Ing the arguments for the majority report. He said: “The majority of the committee are not hostile to the economy of the church. They have pride tn its success, and do not wish to embarrass the work, but promote it. Laymen should be admitted to the annual conferences, because they al- ready have a place in the quarterly and district conferences and in the general con- ference. In other denominations the laity have a vote, and in other branches of the Methodist Church. The laity are interesi- ed in all great questions which come before tais body, and they pay the money raised for benevolences. As it now stands there is no way for the laity to express an opt ion on mooted questions unless they call a convention.” Mr. Price characterized the present law of reptesentation as “non-apostolic, non- Protestant, non-Methodist and non-Amer'- can “A change is needed in the selection of Presiding elders,” he said, “now the most unpopular office in the church. We eleci everything else, why not elect’ presiding elders? We are not under a monarchy. If Methodist ministers cannot be trusted with such an election, who can be? Let the pre siding elders be elected for a term of years and an annual expression of confidence taken. The conference has rights to be recognized, and it is not n ‘ssary to go outside of the Baltimore conference to find the need of a change. In times past no re- spect has been paid to the voice of confer- ence. We ought to have Breater powers than are given today. Rev. S. H. Cummings, the blind preacher, made the opening speech for the minority, although no one was appointed to represent their views In an allegorical composition he reviewed the opposition to the “Epis. copal machine,” as he characterized it. Rev. Hugh Johnston's Views. _ Rev. Hugh Johnston of Washington said he was not satisfied with either report, and would at the proper time offer a substitute, embracing approval of lay representation in the annual conferences. He claimed that the resolutions would take away in piece- meal the Episcopal powers which could not begremoved as a whole. “The chief executive,” he said, “is al- ways conceded the right to choose his own advisers. It seems you are on the wrong track, barking up the wrong tree. If a change is wanted why not have a quadren- ial election of bishops? Election of pre- siding elders would open the door for bar- gaining. It would not remedy the evils, but sive greater ones by raising discord.” “The third item {s unconstitutional. It would give a double episcopacy. You com- plain of the power of the bishops, yet you ,Would multiply these powers’ titty Rev. M. F. B. Rice of Washin said: “There is need of a modification in tre church law. A misconception exists in the minds of th2 bishops as to their power in the polity of the church. It must be un- ystem should exist for the sake nd not man exist for a sys- Rev. J. C. Nicholson denied that consti- tational power was given the bishops’ cabinet. He quoted Jonn Wesley as first assuming the whole power of appoint- ment for himself, but not to be followed by his successors at the head of the church. Rey. A. J. Gill said there never had been and never will be perfect peace in the church under the present government. It has a foreign spirit, he declared, con- flicting with American principles. Powers of bishops jar on the sense of American manhood and liberty. They are wrong in principle if not in exercise. Such powers éught not be in the hands of the best men under the sun. He paid Bishop Warren a compliment by saying the friends of the episcopacy had made a point by sending such a fascinating and charming man as Eresiding officer. Near the close of the morning session the discussion was suspended to allow the presentation of the report of the Preach- ers’ Society by Summerfield Bacon. An effort was made to postpone the reso- lutions to give way to the election of gen- eral conference delegates, but the motion failed. The Lay Conference. The laymen’s conference was a‘ long while getting to work. One hundred and fifteen delegates were present when J. S. Rawlings called the assembly to order. James E. Ingram was elected presideat. Alexander Ashley of Washington opened with reference to the needs in the church to bring its business methods up to date. ‘The morning session was taken vp with discussion of how the indorsement of the Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE MLAIIL POUCH TOBACCO.

R. Wheeler. All showed material and spiritual growth. The character of each elder and minister was passed upon in turn as they made their reports. This brought about several changes of relations in addition to those noted in The Star. Revs. James A. Me- Cauley, J. H. Dashiell and F. W. Shriner were changed from the supernumerary to superannuated list; Rev. C. T. House from effective to superannuat Revs. E. D. Huntley and B. Peyton Brown, from super- numerary to effective. - Rey. Mr. Brown's request for this change was made in an appeal to the bishop, in which he charged unfair action on the part of previous presidents of the conference. His remarks were closely at- tended by the conference members, and the applause he received showed the sentiment tend.ng toward a restriction of the powers of the episcopacy and the enlarging of the ecnference powers, which are aimed at in the Becon resolutions. Bshop Warren's response was earnest, and was in defense of the episcopate. He admitted, however, the fact that the laiety being more and more regarded. He When the laymen are represented in the conference in equal numbers, the clergy will find the term of service of many of them will be shortened. It is no more than right that the laity should be recognized in this. Our church now carries its - ters longer than any other denomination, for the reason that the power remelns to send them here and there.” . He said he hoped there would be no feel- ing of dissutisfaction at the close of this conference. The lay electoral conference met in the Sunday school room of the church. Inter- est in that body was chiefly in the selection of two general conference delegates. Local Lay Delegates. an The lay conference included the following delegates from the Washington district: Forestville, George F. Pyles; Gaithers- burg, Jesse L. Burns; Kensington, Dr. R. B.

Bishop Thomas Bowman, the senior member of the Episcopal board, made an address full of reminiscences of the value of the work of the society, especially in the west and south. Rev. Dr. George Edward Reed, president of Dickinson College, also made an address. Rev. J. F. Ookerman presided. 5 ee. He Was Cold. When the cold wave reached here Tues- day Henry Moten, colored, found himself short of fuel, and he was equally short of cash with which to buy some kindling and black diamonds. The poor man did not want to freeze to death or suffer from the cold, and so he helped himself to a piece of lum- ber in Norcross Bros.’ lumber yard, and a policeman arrested him for theft. This morning, instead of enjoying himself by the fire made with the piece of lumber, he was in a rocm heated by steam, where he had nothing but three white walls and iron bars in the way of scenery. He left this little room for a few minutes to appear before Judge Miller. To the judge he said he thought he had done no harm in taking a piece of board. ‘The court thought he had done no serious harm, but he had no business taking what did not belung to him, and imposed a fine of $5 or ten days. en Settled Their Difficulty.

B McKinley Forces, Seciring Extensive Accommodations at St. Louis, Within the past fouf days friends and sup- porters of Maj. McKinley of Ohio have se- cured accommodations for 1,500 people at St. Louis during the republican national conven- tion. The Pennsylvania delegation gave up its contract with the Lindell Hotel, to care for 300 people,and the'space was eagerly gob- bled up by the Ohioans. Then Iowa gaye up accommodations for 300 people and Mec- Kinleyites also secured them. The Marylanders were the third to throw up the sponge, and before the ink on the telegram was cold the buckeyes had the accommodations. Aside from this the Mc- Kinley forces have made contracts with the Southern for all the space that hotel would give them, and the same thing has been done by them at the Lindell, St. James, Laclede, Planters’ and at every hostelry Where any accommodations whatever could be secured.

LOUIS CRY Bimetallism to Be the Republican Shibboleth. NO 1EW DEFINITION ATTEMPTED The Financial Plank of the 1892 Platform to Be Used. THE PARTY’S RECORD The financial deliverances in Iowa and Ohio are accepted as indicating pretty clearly what*may be expected on the same subject at St. Louis. Bimetallism is to be the republican shibboleth. No new defi- nition of the word is attempted. As used now it seems to mean precisely what it did in 1892 when used at Minneapolis and dur- ing the campaign that followed. An inter- national agreement is still a condition, but there is still the pledge to try and bring about such agreement. A Free Silver Ontery. There is not the outery from the free coin- age republicans that in some quarters was expected. It had been predicted, indeed, that the reaffirmation by the Alltson and the McKinley people of the Minneapolis form would at once inaugurate open div:sion in the party and prefigure dis- astrous disruption at St. Louis. But the free coinage men are not going off at half- cock. They will reserve their fire until the national line is drawn, and deliver their voiley deliberately and with steady aim then. No Opportunity to Move. It is suggested in conservative republican quarters that no valid objection can Me to the reaflirmation this year of the financial plaak of the platform of 1892. There has been no opportunity to move upon that line. The defeat of the party, that year operated to suspend its policies of every kind. Had the party been successful that year, things, they assert, would have be 'y different. An carnest effort would have been made to redeem the promise as to silver, and while the result might not have been all that the silver men desired, §t would have put silver in a better position as a money metal than It occupies today. The Party's Record. In proof of this the conservative republi- cans point to the party’s record under the Harrison administration. The promise had been made at Chicago in 1888 to do some- is for silver, and an earnest effort foi- iowed to redeem that promise. The Sher- man law was passed, and an internationa! conference was held. Both were disap- pointing to the friends of silver, but both showed that the party had not been trifling with the friends of silver. The party had not exhausted its resources by any means, and at Minneapolis pledged itself to go on with the work. It is asserted that that pledge, too, would have been redeemed had Gen. Harrison been re-elected President and been reinforced by a republican Con- Bre But disaster overtook the party, the deraocracy with divided councils came in, and Mr. Cleveland forthwith inaugurat: a crus against silver, which he hus ever since kept ur The Proposition of Conservative Re- publicans, The proyosition of the conservative publicans, therefore, is thi party to mmeta m throuzh international agreement, and to a bona fide effort to bring about such an agreement. Let -he distinction be drawn between the Cleveland iey and the republican policy. Let it be n that Mr. Cleveland has never moved in the direct‘on of an international agree- m@pt; that he brought maiters to a siand- still as soon as he secured the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and thereby inflicted an injury upon silver. Le! it be asserted that such wouid not hav. been the policy of a republican administra- tion; that the repeal of.the purchasing use of the Sherman law would have been wed by some legis! ver, und that the ifort to bring at international agreement would have been renewed and pressed with all the prestige of this government. And then, to clinch all, let it be pointed out that every sub- stantial ining done for silver as a money metal in twenty, years has been the work of the republican party and over democratic cpposition. — HOLT WILL’ CASE, Opposing Sides Now Ready Innue. The issues to be submitted to a jury in the matter of the contest over the estate of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt will probably be filed in the Probate Court some time during the coming weck. It is understood that the issues have, with a single exception, been argued upon by Messrs. J. J. Darlington and Blair Lee, representing the executors and benefi- cicries under the alleged will of February, and Messrs. Jere M. Wilson and A. 8. Werthington, counsel for the heirs-at-law. But for the sickness of Mr. Wilson, it is said, an agreement would have been reach- ed in the matter teday. Mr. Wilson will be able to consider the matter in a day or, two, it is thought, and the issues will be ready for submission to the Probate Court not later than Friday of next week, it is believed. The contest grows out of the receipi by the register of wills of the mysteriously mailed will last August. Until then it was believed generally, of course, that Judge Holt had died intestate, and when the executor, Mr. Luke Devlin, offered it for probate the heirs-at-law promptly ob- jected, denying that it is the will of Judge Heit, and also declaring that if it ever was it was revoked. These are the questions which a jury will be called upon to answer, and counsel in the case hope to have the issues prepared in time for a trial thercon some time in April or May. —_—.__ NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT. to Join A Georgetown Politician Renounces His Allegiance to the Party. An interesiing sequcl to the democratic local campaign, which has just been ought to a close, is the statement of Mr. Charles C. Clark, 1207 31st street, George- tewn, that he has severed his connection with the democratic party for all time. Mr. Clark attended the primaries in the fourth district Tuesday evening, but was not al- lowed to vote by the district managers on the ground that he had cast a’ ballot at the recent republican primaries in this city and was therefere not a democrat in gcod standing. In conversation with a Star reporter to- day, Mr. Clark said: ‘1 wish to state that the reason that I was not allowed to vote was not because I had taken part in the republican primaries, but because I had asserted my rights as an American and connected myself with the American Pro- tective Associatiut I have been a demo- cre* all my ‘ife a for a number of years past have been ilentitied with the Young , the Jefferson and the Maryland Dem- ecratic Associations of the District, of which I am corresponding secretary, and have always taken an active part in all cam- paigns.

James Gleason, the blacksmith, and Charles King, the contractor, are no longer friends. There was a business disagree- ment between them, and Gleason was ar- rested becaus> he had a pistol. He paid $50 for this offense, and King, not satisfied that the punishment was severe enough, swore ou®a warrant for threats. He fear- ed that Gleason would make another at- tack on him and so he wanted him put under bonds to keep the peace. Gleason told Judge Miller this morning that he had no fdea of harming King, and the court tcok his personal bonds, FINANCIAL. FINANCIAL. STORAGE WORTH HAVING.

Veronica Court, No. 13, Daughters of Jer_salem, was well represented in the Pelice Court today, when Louisa Myers, the treasurer of the subordinate lodge, was placed on trial on a charge of having em- bezzled $20 of the funds of the lodge. Martha M. Jordan, who says she is worthy mother of the organization, m. the complaint. The high chancel! also a witness in the case. Lawyer Jones repregented who were prosecuting the treasurer, while the latter was defended by Lawyers Ricks ani Smith. . The court could hardly tell from the evi- Gence and the workings of the order in just what way the financial affairs were con- Gueted, and the proof failed to shew that the treasurer had ever had’ in her posses- sion the $20 charged. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny Goned the case, and Treasure: Myers was exonerated ———— For Sale and Partition. Walter J. O'Callaghan and others today filed a bill in equity against Patfick O'Cal- laghan and others, praying for the sale and partition of lots 12 and 13, square of the estate of the late William Hagerty.
