of any orders beyond those contained in
a private message. If orders have been

the Army engineers, if Congress acts on
the .report sent in yesterday, to dredge

all kinds of weather in entire safety.

' DO NOTHING MORE TO LILLEY
House Satisfied With Calling His
Charges False.
WASHINGTON. May 22. 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."

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.

Dr. . 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

equally acceptable to this body.

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.
The way to cure it is to use a natural
laxatives-dainty and gentle. That's

If the bowels ar calloused, take one

" I picked up a copy of THE LAST EGYPTIAN
in Chicago and read it on the train coming East. 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,
