"war-claim" issue
Virtually settled.
.Methodist General Conference
Practically Adopts McMur
ray Compromise.
r.ErrnLic special
Dallas. Tex.. May 21. Unless the unex
pected happens on to-morrow, the "war
claim" issue of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, has been finally settled by
the General Conference as a disturbing mat
ter in the church.
That body to-day. after rejecting the ma
jority report of the Publishing Committee,
which advised in favor of keeping tho
money: nnd the minority report, which de
mended a return of oil of it to the Federal
Gcvernment, adopted in their stead the Mc
Munay compromise paper after it had been
o amended as scarcely to resemble lu,
orlilna! foim.
The gist of the measure adopted Is:
Thoe church agents who practiced "de
ceptions, misrepresentations, concealments."
etc., on Congress are mlidy censured; the
fornW action of the College of Bishops, in
offcrlns to the United States Senate to have
the church retuin the money if the Senate
should say so. is ratilled. affirmed and
made the legal action of the Genral Con
ference, and of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South; these proceedings, when
taken, to close the incident Anally.
The only chance for this rction of to-day
to be rciersed or materially chin;ed lies
in the fact that a spaelal committee of five,
created bv the General Confeience after th2
adoption "of the paper, was instructed to
revise it carefully, removing "grammatical
errors. Inconsistencies, contradictions, neg
ative features and other blemishes." and
to report the papei back to the Genral Con
ference to-morrow morning.
This committee is composed of J. E. God
bev of Arkansas, J. W. Jordan of Tennes
see. Paul Whitehead of Virginia. W. F.
McMurray of St Louis and G. B. Wlnton
of Monterey. Mexico. The committee la at
work to-nlgbt.
The chances ate that their work of re
vision will be adopted without serious oppo
sition. Then It will be up to the Lnited
States Senate to say whether the money
