No action looking toward the expulsion of Repre sentative George L. Lilley. of Connecti cut, In the House ia contemplated. This statement was authoritatively made to the Associated Press today. When the special committee appointed by Speaker Cannon to investigate the charges brought by Mr. Lilley against the Electric Boat Company submitted its re port to the House last Tuesday, 'and more so after the report had been read on the floor next day, there was much specula tion as to the probable outcome. The severity with which Mr. Ulley was handled In the committee's sessions gave rise to a report that these were to be made the basis of a resolution of expul sion. The statement Is aa follows: 1 "The House has nothing more to do with Mr. Lilley, so far as the investiga tion episode is concerned. The special committee investigated fully Mr. Lilley's charges and reported its findings to the ' House. The House, by a substantial ma jority, adopted that report. No further action on the matter is . contemplated. The case ia closed." Meat Bill Loses Its riace. WASHINGTON. May 22.

CALLS BROTHER A LIAR Continued from Pair 1- be heard, or if it could, no one paid any attention to it. "You lied." said Bishop Burt. "I did not," was the reply of Bishop Scott. Calls Bishop Scott Liar. "You lied about me, you know you did." "I tell you I did not lie about you; that is not so." again answered the colored Bishop. "You did He about me." reiterated Bishop Burt, "and if you do not cor rect It I am going to report you to this Conference and have the matter straightened out" Bishop Scott did not make any re ply to this statement, because at that moment the two Bishops were ap proached by one of the delegates of the Conference and two or three more persons, who desired to shake hands with them. After greeting those who liad Joined them. Bishop Burt and Bishop Scott went their separate wayi. Matter Not Yet Ended. The matter has not yet been brought before the general conference, but will doubtless be considered by this body. Just why a general superintendent should supervise the work of a missionary bishop does not clearly appear. Taking them man by man, the general superintendents do not seem to be more intelligent, more devoted or in any way more capable than the missionary bishops. Indeed, the most thoroughly devoted and extensively capable man among all the bishops, and the man who has the greatest vision and the largest outlook, seems to be the Rev. Bishop J. M. Thoburn, whose residence Is Portland, Or., and who, a few days ago, asked to be put on the retired list. The result of this very unpleasant In cident and very disgraceful episode will probably be the order on the part of the general conference for , the visits of the general superintendents to mission fields to cease. Bishop Burt is esteemed by his brethren who have met him in church work to be a very domineering and dic tatorial man, he is called by many of his brethren "the Johnny Bull-' of the col lege of bishops. He Is an Englishman, with all of the self-assertive qualities of his people. It is doubtful if he will have very extensive sympathy in his contro versy with Bishop Scott. The latter has been known throughout his ministry as a careful, unobtrusive, capable, de voted servant to the cause. He has never shown any disposition to quarrel or to contend for his own. At the present, the indications are that the sympathy of the general conference is in favor of Bishop Scott. Leak In Committee. The committee on Episcopacy Is sup posed to be absolutely close-mouthed as to Its proceedings, and nothing is sup posed ,to be known outside the doors where the sessions are held, but the secret Is out and the fact that Bishop Neely is on the carpet, charged with serious offenses in his work in South America, is now public property. The bishop confessed before the committee that he had appointed a man presiding elder of a district and at the same time editor of "a paper whom he knew to be a drinking man. The fact that such a man has recognition at all in the church is exceedingly offensive to many breth ren. In addition to this, the further fact that he should have such a prominent position assigned him by a bishop who was aware of his habits oreates a situation which is exceedingly distressing and greatly humiliating to the members of the general conference. 1 What will come of this does not just yet appear. Some members' of the com mittee say Bishop Neely's high hand in his dealings with the preachers and offi cial, members, hi disregard for the sentiment of the church in the matter of drinking intoxicating liquors, and his general dominating air, are so offensive that he should be retired. It is possible that this may be the end of this un pleasant situation. It is rather singular that the two bishops who-are giving the conference so much concern at present are both Englishmen, Bishop Neely aa well as Bishop Burt hating been born in the British Isles. Differ on Discipline. In the committee on the state of the church a heated controversy is going on over the proposition 'to take out of the discipline the paragraph forbidding Meth odists to attend theaters, go to circuses, etc. The controversy became so heated yesterday that Lev. C. J. Howes, of the Southwest Kansas conference, in his ef fort to defend the place which paragraph 248 now has in the discipline, and to re tain it there, said the reason why the bishops were in favor of taking it out was probably the fact that they had had whispered in their ears this suggestion by some wealthy, worldly Methodist, who had taken them riding in Central Park, New York, in a $5000 automob.le. When this assertion was made, it was met with hisses, whereupon Dr. ' Howe retorted: "Hiss on! snakes can hiss; you're snakes." Rev. R. A. Chase, of Pueblo. Colo., in replying to this state ment, said that these self-styled holy men were guilty of Phariseeism In charging others with being worldly and unworthy, while they themselves were willing to charge their brethren with motives which were unknown to them. Bedlam in Conference. In the conference yesterday a great commotion raged throughout the entire session. Bishop Bashford was presiding. He has not had extensive experience as a master of great assemblies, as hia field throughout his entire Episcopal career has been in China, where there are no very (Treat gatherings. A committee brought in a report on a memorial which had been presented, asking that the worda "district superintendent" take the place of "presid ing elder" wherever it occurred in the discipline. The report of the committee was that this memorial should not be adopted. In opposition to the report of the committee. Dr. Chase, of Colorado, spoke eloquently and effectively in favor of the term "district superintendent," but failed to make a motion that the worda should be substituted for "presiding el flei." His contention was indorsed by Dr. J. M. Buckley and Dr. Robert Ftwbes, but because of the lndeflnlteness of the ques tion before the house, there was a reign of confusion. It is doubtful If ever a more complete bedlam prevailed in any delib erative body than was witnessed for something like a half hour. The entire matter was left where it was in the be ginning. It is more than probable, how ever, from the apparent strength of the sentiment, that the question will be brought up again, and that in the future the designation of "presiding elder" will be changed to "district superintendent."

Church and organized itself into an inde pendent body between the years 1825 and 1830. The main contention between the leaders of this organization and that of the Methodist Episcopal Church was the rights of laymen to have a p. ace and a voice in the management and legislation of the church. So bitter did the conten tion become that some of the ablest men in the church, and some of the most de voted, too, found themselves in such dis favor among their brethren that they could not feel at home in the Methodist Bpi soo pal. Church, hence the independent organization. Strange to say, as the years have passed the stronger body has gradually, and by degrees, come around to the position of the seceding body, the only difference now remaining being that which relates to the position of bishops in the older church. But the disposition is going on so stead ily to curtail the domineering influence of th bishops and to have the exercise of their authority safeguarded that it is ap parent that a union of the two great or ganizations can be easily adjusted. Be cause of this situation a commission has been appointed by this General Confer ence to proceed to Pittsburg, whee the General Conference of the Protestant Methodist Church Is now in session, with overtures looking toward union. Not a Dl8sen.tli.ff Vote. This action was taken this morning with the greatest unanimity and by a rising vote, there being not a single dissenting voice. It will be remembered that there are now propositions for union being con sidered between the Protestant Method ists, United Brethren and Congregational Churches. It would be a singular thing, and one not t dreamed of hitherto, but which now seems possible, if these four churches should through this movement come into one organization. GOODEMi SAYS MTD IS SLUXG Divorce Sprung Against Ca-itudate. Worse Than Political Convention. v BALTIMORE, May 22. The results of two ballots for bishops today at the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church were unsuccessful. Dr. Goodell, in a statement to the Associated Press, attributed his loss of strength to the fact that it was re ported that he was divorced. Dr. Goodell's statement follows: I am assured by those men who hare led this movement against me that there im no reflection in It upon my moral character. The only thin charged sural net mi Is that I am a divorced man. That is t rue. but the divorce was granted oil the statutory around recognized by the Bible and I understood that at the time at my second marriage my wife was dead. For 22 years T have had the fullest confi dence of the Methodist Episcopal Church and have filled her greatest pulpits. My present church is the largest Methodist Gplscopal Church In the world. The bring ing of this charge at the moment when my election to the episcopacy seemed possible I regard as a political movement which is be low the dignity of the average political con vention. The fact that It was brought at so late a moment that I could not meet It, and that I am not a member of the general conference and so have no right to the floor, will carry its own lesson to all right-minded people and In the end it will prove a boom erang In the camp of those who have hurled It. Dr. Goodell dropped from fifth to tenth place. Dr. Go ode I jf who is regarded as one of the finest platform orators in the church and is noted for his pastoral evangelism, said he secured the divorce at Providence in 1886, while in charge of a church there. He asked for and obtained a church trial, the result of which, he said, was a vindication of his course in the matter.

Mason, the negro candidate, in withdrawing, told the delegates that when he was put forward it was with the distinct understanding that If elected his work was to be confined to his own race. He believed that a black jnan could better understand the prob lems of the colored people. TTe said the colored members, appreciating the situ ation In which the Germans had found themselves, supported the German can didate, and he was glad that they had been successful. The colored members did not charge that he was not given a squHre deal. He was sorryhis own brethren had not found a candidate equally acceptable to this body. Jackson Has 568 More Voters.

Constipation is Caused by Cathartics Any harsh physic any physic that gripes irritates the bowels. That is how salts and cathartics get their effect. They act as pepper acts in the nostrils causing the juices to flow. But the bowel lining like the skm grows calloused under constant irritation. The bowels then cease to supply their own laxative. You need physic all the time. Ai the bowels grow harder you need larger doses. That is chronic constipation. That is how constipation is caused by the efforts of Nature to resist a harsh physic.

It is a new book, just out, and one of the best yarns I have read in many a year. It rings true, and that is the best thing which can be said about any book. It gets right down to business at the start, and every chapter brisdes with exciting situations, intrigue, character study, love complications, fighting, treasure-hunting and all the other elements which go to make a readable story ; but they are alL brand new. Several of my friends read it, including Mrs. L. . They all like it. The only fellow who didn't like it was the porter on the train. He couldn't get me to turn in.
