Jng arrived, 1t was decided fo extend the | ‘time long Anough to completo the vote upon the separate seating rosolution At12:15 the secretary bogan calling the roll upon the separato scating resolution, the laymen voting first Victory for the Laymon, The rosult of the vots was announced as follows: Total number of votes cast, | yens, 105; nays, 61 A delegate opposed to the saparate seating raised st objection to tho count, claiming that it was not correct. Ho heid that the orrect tally should read 95 yoas and 70 nays. 0 secretary said he would read both the 1ist of the ayos and noes as he had them te corded when the ministerial vote had been taken Then ministerial dele- the soparato the roll of the gates was called upon sentiug _ resolution. It resulted as follows: Yeas, 162; nays, 135 A largo num- ber of the delogates had left the bhall bofore the result was announced. It was now 1:40 and 1t was ovident that hunger wes domand- ing the attention of a large number of the dolognates, A long dispute then arose over the ques- 1100 of adjourning before taking a vote upon tue amended motion. Many of the delogates Dad left the house for lunch and it was held by some that it would be unfair to proceed with tho yote upon the main question s amended until the absontees had roturned. After debating the matter for fiftoon minutes it was decided to adjourn to meet at4 o'clock in Kxposition hall. Tho doxology was sung, Bishop Waldon pronouncad the benediction and tha first ses- #i0n of the conference was at an end. Bishop Bowman presided during the eatire 8085100, ECTING SEATS, eclegates Put In the Afterno h Their Individual Loeations, The afternoon session of tho zeneral con foronce convened in Iixposition ball at 4 o'clock for tho particulac purpuse of deciding tho seating question and to pormit the vari- ous conforence delegations to solect their #o0ats by lot, the usual custom, Exposition hall had been put in gala attire especially for the municipal reception, but it . will probably wear the floral and artistio cos- S e et R “ « 4 tume during the entiro month, Against the wide west wall, back of the rostrum, hung the crayon portraits of the sixteen bistiops of the churen, flanked on the right and leit with handsome ' landscapo and marine viows. Avove these s row of small Unitod States flags formed a border to the group of pic- turcs. Boneath this array of picturos hung two tine large United States flage, Oune of Mothodist church of Btreator, 1L, three years ago in_accordance with a rosolution passed by the Central Il nois conferenco to place n flug in every church in tho conforence. The custom has becomo very popular in illinois and the flag fustallation in many nstances has become the occasion of elaborate coremonies. This flag ‘was brought to the general conference by the Central llinois delegation upon the sugges- tion of Kev. M. A. Head, one of the dele gatos who preached at Streator when the flag was placed in the church, Around the edge of the stage were placod a variegated and gorgeous array of trovical plants and towers, These were reinforced by a bank of palms ana other plants on the floor skirting tho stage all the way around, The sides of the hull were also decorated ith pictures and flags, and altogether the suditorium presonted rather an inviting ap- pearaunce, dospito the bare and barn-like pect of the beams and rafters above. Tackled the Previous Question, Bishop Morrill presided at the afternoon session, and be requested Dr. A, B, Leonard of Ohio to conduct the opening services. After a hymn and a prayer Bishop Merelll announced that the conferenco was roady to proceed with business. Tho original motion as offered by Dr. Neligh and amended by the Field resolution &t thoe forenoon sessiou was then declared to be in order. Dr. Whitlock offored anothier amendment to leave itdiscretionary with the laymen as to whether they should take seats séparately or with the ministerial delegates. Some one called for the reading of Dr. Neligh's first resolution for the ussignment of seats. It s read and tho umendment offored by Mr. d und passed at the forenoon session was Mr. Eaton of the Troy conferenco wanted the wording changed 50 as 1o read : Rosolved. That the lay delegatos be per- mitted to sit separately upon the couference floor if they so desire. Dr. Lanahan of Baltimoro wanted the lay aen to have perfect frecaom in tho watter of # selecting tho place thoy aesired to occupy on the floor of the conferenco. Ur. Leonard thought that it was not very modest for the majority of the laymen to in- sist that the minority of the laymen should sit separately whon the mnority did not want to be soparated from the ministerial dolegates. Ho did not beliove in compelling any of tho delegates to sit separately if thoy did not 5o desire, They Made 1t Option Dr. McElroy of Iilinois callod for the ious question, r. Kuox, a colored brotuer, called Dr. Mcliiroy to order because he had been stana. ing while another brother was speaking. The chairman decided thut the point was net well taken, Tho wain question was then called, Tt arosé upon the substitute offered by Dr, Lanahan to simply acquiesce 1 the request of the laymen asking for the scparato seat- ing. Dr. Queal moved that Dr. Lanahan’s sub- stitute vo laid on the table. IL was tabled, ‘The amendment offered by Dr. Eaton of tho Now England confercnce to permit the lay delegates to sit separatoly 1f they so sived, was then put and carricd. Tho orig- inal motion offered by Lr. Neligh at the fore- noon session and amended by Mr. Field was then put and carried. "Tho next thing was to declde whero tho lay dciegatos, who wishod to sit separately, should bo located. Rignt here the wholo dis pute came up again, Somo wanted a special scction designated for tue laymen before : anything further was done. Dr. Maxfield movod toat the laymen who ¢ Qesired 10 sit apart be requested 0 stand so they could bo countod. . Dr. Buckley offered anothor motion to sot . msido 120 seats for the use of the laymen who “wishod to bo seated soparatoly. It was seconded, Seat Question Settled. Judgo Lawrence of Ohio offered an amend- ment to Dr. Buckloy’s motion to set aside a section inimeuiately north of the middle aisle for tho special use of the lay delegates. Dr. Clinffee thought it would bo absurd to inco 120 lay delegates in a block 1 the cerrter of the house with ministerial dele- gates on both sides. Judge Lawrence's amendment was tabled, Dr, Buckloy’s motion to set aside 120 seats for the laymen, but not specifyivg the lo- oation of those seats, was then put and carried Dr. Pullman then moved that the laymen bé allotted a space boginuing five seats south of the middle aisle and extending to the south side of the houso. The motion wa carried. The selection of seats by lot was then begun. An effort was made to take the resolution offered at the morning session by Dr. Whit- Yook of Wisconsin from the table, but it was permitted to remain on the table because the substance of the resolution had already been adopted, Then came the selections of seats by lot for the various conference delegations, ‘Tho seloction of seats occupied cousider- ablo Lima aud was not accomplished without a good deal of confusion. The sudieuce was Tequested Lo vacate tho seats in the front and middle of the ball, but enough remained to Keup the delegations generally mixed. Then thero was a continual protest against tho mauner in which the tickets were being drawn from the hat. Sowe claimed that the numbors wore not being read in the sequence in which they were drawn and Others even wtimated that the secretary was looking into tho Lat ofteuer Lhsu WAS BECOSSATY OF proper. Missourt Got First Oho ‘The first drawn bore the name of the Cen- tral Missouri couference, aud & couple of zolored delogates had the honor of the first oboice of seats in the conference. They chose scats immediately iu frout of the chal and two rows bag! I'ie Ceutral New York confersuce was callod next and took seven seats iwmediately behind the colored brethren. The St. Louis Germuu ccuforence located just moross the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MAY 3, 189z aisle and the Philadelphia and Northern New York eonferences fell into line benind them. The Central New York delogates sfterwards changed their seats across the aislo 80 that their lay delogates could sit with them and with the lay aclegation at the samo time. About this time the delegates begau to et hunerv and mattors wore pushed moro rapidly. The body of the house began to fill up and the opera chairs were entirely occu- pled. The wooden chairs bohind were not in demand out the remaining delogations were obliced 10 take Whom and act as though they liked it They Pashed on to the End, When haif-past 6 o'clock had arrived and & number of conferences romained o be seated, Dr, Leonard moved that the conferonce ad- journ until the next morning. But the rest thought aifferently and the motion was de- featod. Then some one wanted to sing two verses of “Tlest be tho tie that binds," but no one f ssinging. Several dologates asserted ' seats were being occu bied by iclegates who nad no right to them and so wiith many repetitions the session was prolonged until nearly ¥ o'clock, when another motion to adjourn was put and defeated. A motion to postpono the further selection of soats was laid on tho table. At 7 o'clock a third motion to adjourn Wis mado and carriod by 171 votes to 16M Toe remaining delogates who have not secured their soats will be assignod them tho first thiog this morning. THEIR RELIGION, LIKE Omanha's Reception Has the True Methodist Ring to It. To the strains of merry marching musio the city ofticials left the city hall shortly be foro § o'clock last ovoning, headed by tho Socond Infantry band, and marched to the Paxton hotel, where they were joinod by the Metnodist bisbova in a body, whom they es corted direct to Exposition hall. And there thoy found such a gathering as haa never gatherod there before. Tho con- ference delegates occupied the seats to which they had been assigned in tho conter of tho ball, while around them and in the spacious gallerios above were seated the wealth, beauty and culture of Omaha, Tho scene was an inspiving oe, and well calcu- lated indeod, to call forth the bost and brightest thoughts of thoso who wero callea upon to addrass that vast assomblago. The applavse broko forth at $:15 o'clock, whien Bishop Newman entered the hall in advance of the other dignitaries of tho church, followed by Governor Boyd, Mayor Bemis, President Davis of tho eity ‘council, Councilmen Bechel, Steel, Muuro, Chaffoo, Jacobson, Howell, Lowry, Conway, Prince, 1 Specht, Back, McLearie, City ) Rosewater, Building Iuspector Tilly, Chairman Birkbauser of the Board of Publio Works, Fire and Police Commis- sioners ilartman and Gilbert, City Clerk Groves aud City Treasurer Bolin, Music and Prayer, The gathering was called to order by Rov. 1. C, Ciendeuning, vresiding elder of this district, who invited the band to bogin. This it did without delay, and the familiar straius of “My Country, 'Iis of Thee" filled the building, played as only the Second iufantry band can play it. I"ollowing thi: came the good old hymn, “Coronatic “All Hal the Power of Jesus Name,” sung by the entire sudienco of 3,500 souls, led by Chaplai McKay Rov. Dr. P. S. Merrill led audience remaining stanawg. He thank ed God for all the benetits and vrivileges granted, and that this great gathering bad assembled in tho heart of this kreat continent from all parts of the world 1o testify their devotion; that the month that wus to come would be forever memor- able in the history of tho city. Bishop Nowman stated that the conferonce was entertained by the city of Omaha and that whilo the members of the church were only too glad to do all they could, citizons of all denominations wera doing their part, and tho city ofeials thought that nothing less than a public reception would be fitting. Tho conference marked an epoch in the world’s history, and Omaha was not willing for it to puss unnoticed. In introducing tho city’s chief executive the speaker said that the mayor was a Methodist by descentand ought to be by assent, Mayor Bemls' Address. Mayor Bomis was received with hearty applause. Ho spoke as follows: “Reverend Bishops, Ministerial and Lay Delogates of the General Conference of tho Metnodist Episcopal Chureh, Friends and Fellow Citizens: 1 can assuro you that [ ap- preciate the honor and realize the duty rest- ing upon meas the chief executive of our city, in largest ecclesiastical. body in America, not in the world, a cordial and beartielt we come to Omaha, the great central city, and the city that is dostined to soon becomo the great couvention and conference city of the nation. ““The people of Omaha, Nobraska ana neighboring states feel especially honored nna interested in this great quadrennial as- semblage of tho representative clergymea and laymen of tho Methodist Episcopal church for the reason that it is the first time in its history that it bas ever held a_confer- ence in this section of the country. We feel honored in knowing that we will have in our midst during this whole month of May the leading thinkers and pulpit orators of the great Mothodist body. *The general public, and in fact the whole world mustavd will be greatly interested in the proceedings of your meetings in this city, and the cables and teiegraph will flash your utterances and acts, daily and bourly, to the uttermost ends of the earth, “It is very gratifying 1o note the grand work that your organization has accom- plished and constantly has in hand i way of establishing colleges, hospitals, charitable institutions, ote. “Ono of the chief objects of tho church is, 1 beliovo (as it most certainly should bo), to reach and elevate the massos.

Covsidering our youth- fulness you will hardiy expect’ to find our people excelling thoso of the cast in culture sod refinement; but we are ambitious and are rapidly coming to the frontina metro- politan mauner. I have said nothing in regard to Omaha's frowth in a business way—have not told you that our city is the third largest packing center in the country, and that it was hard prossing IKansas City for second place, Wo also have the largest smelting and refining works in the world, the best equipped electric railway aystem and finest bauking houses 1n the United States. We have thirtoen steam railroads entering the city and a perfect sys- tem of water works. The pumping station of the water company, which is located at Florence. a suburb on our nortb, is uasur. passed by that of any other city iu the coun- ey We aiso have extensive gas works and a large new electric light plant.

Newman. He has proved himself our steadfast friond and 1 can assure you that his great work Is fully recognized and ap. preciated and wo earstly hopo that both tho 200d bishop and his estimablo wife will ¢ tinuo their residence in Omana for mauy vears to como, “We shall try to conrinca you during your visit with us that wo are hospitanle and well meaning by oxtending o you all & loyal wel e, and offering you the freedom of our during this tonnial anniversary of ur quaarennial sessions.

Prosidont of Bistop Newman Methodist to introduce, dent of the city council, can and eame frol the Council Davis, said ho bhad another E. P. Davis, presi: who was au Ameri- Wisconsin. He was a Mothoaist by memory and hoped to be by practico bofore the conference got through with bim Mr. Davis saia that it was a very rare event ln tho history of any city of the age aud population of Omaba, where 1t is hon- ored by the visitation of so large and ropre- sentative a body of guests. In order to have a wood city government - we should have officials who were honest and capabio and who carry into their oficial lifo those qualitios that hiayo made thom suocess- ful in their private business. ivery mon who is elected to ofico under any governmert, oity, state or national, has a right to be considered honest until by some overt act he has proven himself other- wise. Our city govornment is not as good as it might be, but it is not as bad as it as been painted. In 1882 a system of puvlic works was organized, and since then the hills have given way to lovel streets, Weo have graded 137 miles of stroets, put in 120 milos of curbing, ninty-three miles of paving and completed as porfect a sewer system as can_bo found any where. A vast amount of money has been expended in this way and the speaker chal- lenged any man to show where one dollar of this hud ever been embezzled by any city ofticial from tho mayor down. Mr. Davis quoted a number ot salos of eity bonds to suow how high the credit of the city stood in the money market, und con cluded by urging the visitors to judge Omaha by what thoy saw and not by what thoy had heard. In tho course of his remarlks ho touched on the saloon question aad entored into an cx- planatiou of why he was not a prohibitionist. He assumed tho defensive from tho start, and was thereov placed consid: erably at a disadva throurhout A gooa looking aud intelligent delogate sitting fo the front row becamo visibly agitatea during President Davis' wrostle ith the prohivition question.

That settled it, for they lnd to sing again, aud the crowd was better bleased than ever. Also an Orator, Honry D. Estavrook was introduced to re- spona tc “Our Guests and Oursclves.” The bishop ascortained that he was also “one of 'em’ by birth, his mother havicg been a Methodist. Ho was nlso a Nebraskan by choice and & Christian by profession—a law- yer. Mr. Estabrook said he would willingly aitribute whatover good qualities he might havo to his mother, und spoire as follow: Omaha has been callea a voung Heroules, and so it is. But it would take more thai Dwight's Mythology to tell all that Omaba is. Tonight sho is another Briareus, aud ex tends to you her thousand hands, every hand a right hand, and our hoarts iu cach of thom. Our city is yours, our homes are yours, wo arc yours. If you do not eujoy your Visit amongst us, it shall not be for lack of effort to mako oursclves agrecable.

Our One Ap: The ouly thing we have really to apol ogizo for 1s.our depot—or rather lack of depot. It 15 strange how everything else seems 10 grow and flourish 1n Nebraska soil except depots. Now we pianted that depot a long time ago, and watered 1t—not only it, but the stock of the company that was to build iv; and yet just look at it! Not a thing of beauty, nor a joy forever! But our embryotic depot is at least s monument to our good intentions, and it is those that I am first eadeavoring to im- press upon you. Fortunately our city is not paved with ‘good nteutions otherwise you might fancy you had come to the wroug piace Council Blufls, for instance. Noj we prob- ably bavo tho best paved city in the world. And then we havo miles, and miles, and miles of street railway, and our street cars are hitched onto a streak of lightning, and mako time nccordingly. We have the largest smelting and refining concorn in the world, and one of the largest linseod oil mills. aud one of the largest whitelead works, bosidos nearly 300 maoufactories of lesser cons quence.

We have twen s, with a total deposit of 27,000,000, Our job- bers and wholesalo merchants have u cash investmont in their business of over §23,000,- 000. Our real estato tvansfers lust year footed up wearly #16,000,000 and it was the very obb of the so-calied boom. We also built §5,000,000 worth of new buildiigs and put in £3,000,000 in public improvements last year. And vetour taxes, state, county aod nunicipal, are less than 1 per cent on actual value, and our municipal bonds sell the high- estof any in tho market. Our systom of water works is absoiutely unrivaled aud our water supply the purest in tho world, not withstanding 1t comes from the Missouri, ono of the murkiest of streams. Aud hero you see the virtue of settling down. If, by this process, liquid mud may be converted into sparkling crystal, who shall say there is no hope for fallen humauity if it will only settle downt Crairies Singing With the Harvests, Now I might go on quoting gigantic about Omaha that would bewilder m 1V6 YOu the vertigo. But, aftor all, wo haye 1ot so much achicved greatness us'we huve had greatness thrust upon us. You seo Omaha occupies a coigne of vantage. She is tho centor, the focus, of the most wonderful agricultural country ou tha glove. (iod bas only to pitch the key and our prairies sig with u harvest. And Omaba is tho cornu- copis iuto which all these gratuities of na ture are poured and emptied, Our sistor statos, of course, think they have some rather good soil, and a man from Dakota re cently had the effroutery to bras about it to @ Nebraska farmer. ~Psbaw ! said the lat- ter, **You can't raise pumpkins in Dakota.” ‘Well, that's 50, sad bis opponent, “und I will tell you why.
