Washington, March 7.—Frcje-coinage
Democrats demonstrated their mastery
of the House to-day, but at thjo expense
of party harmony. The distracting ef
feet of the silver question upon the
\... Democratic majority was made manifest
to-day when the resolution for considera
tion of the Bland bill on thb 223, 23d
and 24th of this month came up.
This resolution was reported from the
committee on rules and wasi therefore,
jK privileged, but under the ruling of tho
Speaker it enjoyed a much higher privi
lege than, the anti-silvorites had antici
pated.
.. Immediately atter the prayer of the
chaplain tho resolution wan called up
by Mr. Catchings. Mr. Tracey made
the point that tho report flould not be
called up until after the reaping of the
journal. The Speaker held that it
Mi might be called up before tide reading of
the journal, and Mr. Tracpy appealed
from the decision of the Speaker. Mr.
BV Catchings moved to lay tile appeal
the table. The yeas and! nays w
called ,and by a vote of 194 yVias to 73 nays
the House tabled the appeal from tho
decision of the Speaker. Mr. Tracey
then raised the question of «•> uskleratioh
on the report. The Speaker held that
the question of consideration could not
be raised. Mr. Tracey appealed from
the decision of the Speak Mr. Catch
ings moved to lay the appeal
.table. Tho appeal was tabled—yeas
176,,nays 81. Mr. Tracey then made a
motion to recommit the resolution, with
instructions to the committee
fc/ .to report back with un amendment

of tho Silver bill from March 22d to De
ftV «ember 12th. The motion

The previous
question was then ordered upon the
resolution without further objection
.being made. Tho yeas and nays were
then ordered, and resulted in the adop
>n of the resolution—yohs 190, nays 84.
^puring tho proceedings*, the freo-coin
members, with an assured majority
and them, protested against "any cx
•.ement," saying there was no causo
auy show of anger. An appeal from
Speaker's ruling wa* taken, but tho
. f er phalanx voted it down by
helming numbers. While most of the
vérités were appealing for a calm and
.derly consideration of the pending
piestion, their big chief, Bland, was
padding to the excitement and increasing
*v i indignation of the antis by vocifer
dy proclaiming them as t
3 falsifiers.
He charged that Cockran ol New
r'l %id Andrew of Massachusetts had
Junto a solemn compact with him
'mo the effect that if the résolu -

cap oned until to-day they would

" Bland, apparently by indulgence of
the Speaker, got the floor long enough
tv fairly rave in repeating his original
allegation. The opposing Democratic
factions had been excited to the point of
anger and denunciation. They aban
doned their seats and crowded together
in tho main aisle so as to be near enough
apparently to exchange charges of false
hood to party principles without the
risk of those pleasantries being drowned
the din of confusion. After several
hours had been consumed in making

remarks upon
the subject
i
outside {he House. Kor instance. Bland,
with all his ardor in demanding free
coinage, is not iu favor of putting a
free-silver plank in the National Demo
cratic platform. Ho says that the
tionnl convontio
should not go farther
than to declare in favor of remitting the
wholo silver question to tho Congres
sional districts; that it is not a party
question, but one that should bo decided
by a vote of the people in the Congres
sional districts in tho choice of members
of Congress. Mr. island holds that tho
fate of silver is not properly to be de
termined by tho executive, and that tho
national platform upon which the Pres
idential ticket is run need not commit
the party nor its candidates to either
side of this question.
Democratic members of Congress fit
the south arid west assert that they arc
bound to vote for free coinage in order
to properly represent the opinions of
their constituents. They say their con
stituents are almost unanimously in
favor of free coinage, believing it will
nilord them relief from the financial
stringency now felt. As to the political
effect that might follow tho passage of a
free-silver bill by the House, Democratic
members say :
"We are confident from the
assurance
given us that the Senate will pass a
free-silver bill if we send it to that body."
That would offset any political detrl
to the Democratic party caused by
the House passing such a bill. The Re
publican Senate, on tho estimation of
the east, would be equally culpablo
with a Democratic House. It is not
doubted that the Président would veto a
silver bill, but by such an act he would
lose support iu the west. Many De
who would as a matter of party
policy gladly postpone the silver ques
tion believe that the free coinage senti
in the House is too strong to be resisted
and that the wise policy is to get the
troublesome question out of the way as
possible.
Their theory is that the House should
dispose of ihe silver bill, and from that
keep the turiff to the front. By this
means they believe that all frictlc
caused by the passage of
would be forgotten in a general Demo
cratic onslaught upon the tariff, and
that, as a result, the Democracy would
not suffer in the Presidential campaigu.

results. Methodists
looking forward
to the General Conference with great
interest.
At least two questions are bound Jo
come up the, settlement of which may
cause thoblrth of new denominations. A
large number of other questions are
likely to cause undue excitement,
upon them may be reflected the influ
of tho greater questions, without
any reference whatever to the
demerit of the lesser. Many of the
annual conferences have instructed
their delegates to the General Confer
ence how to voto on the question of ad
mitting women to tho conferences, and,
unfavorably, to
cast their votes on every other question,
no matter how remote, accordingly.
Therefore, a delegate in favor of the ad
mission of women will not vote for any
man opposed to their admission, no
matter what office he
?rit or
whether favorably
y be put up for.
The General Conference will be a very
large body. It will be made, up of six
ministerial and two lay delegates from
euch of the 111 annual conféré
will be presided
resident bishops of the denomination.
The annual conferences are divided into
two classes, called the fall
;s. It

conferences, from the season of the year
in which their meetings are. held. The
majority of those conferences have
already elected their delegates. Those
of the east are now assembling, and
:h attention is being directed to them
in the hope of discovering indications
likely to pur
to what c
sc they
on the great questions of tho day.
The east and the
st were directly
arrayed against each other in the pre
liminary votes that the General Confer
of 1888, which met in this city,
directed should bo taken on the w
question in 1890 and 1891, the west vot
ing largely in favor of admittm

} known to bo almost
, while in many in
stances, to guard against any possibility

instruction has been given to vote for

Will the east adopt the same tactics?
is a question often asked in Methodist
circles. Hero in New York and Brook
lyn, where tho foes of women
most bitter and most numerous, the
prevailing sentiment is that tho dele
gates will not he ham
way. There is
upen d iu any such
likelihood that any
but anti-woman men, however, will get
a place on the delegation from either
the New York or tho New York Last
Conference.
Rumor is busy among the constituen
cies concerned witli the mention of the
likoly to be elected
whose names will be presented. In this
city Chaplain C. C. McCabe,correspond
y of tho Missionary .Society,
is prominently spoken of. He is
compromising anti-woman man. The
Rev. Dr. M. D'C. Crawford,correspond
ing secretary of the City Gliurch Exten
sion and Missionary Society, is also

woman man. Others by whom the New

t
A reprci
alive anti-won
voto in
the east was cast by the New York East
Conference. In the Brooklyn district of
this conference there are 78 churchos, 72
of which took tho vote. In the New
York east district there
70 churches,
57 of which took the vote. In the New
York district there
74 churchos, 08
of which took the vote. The New Haven
district has 81 churches, 71 of which
took tho vote. Tho churches which
failed to vote were in every case among
the smallest In the conference. The re
sult of tho voto was 1,893 lor admitting
women, and 3,919 against the proposal.
Sufficient interest was not taken in
tho question in all parts of tho country
to bring out a thoroughly representative
vote. A great many churches refrained
altogether from passing on it, while sev
eral conferences failed to report what
action, if any, they had taken. It is in
teresting, however, to note that tho re
turns from 337 presiding ciders' districts
show 182,000 votes in favor of the
women to 109,033 against, tho majority
being 73,248. The total voto cast w
only 291,314 out of 1,631,624 members
reported. On tho basis that tho member
ship of the entire church was 2,600,000,
it was estimated that at least 700,000
would be entitled to voto under the
dition of being 21 ye:

The leader of the advocates of the ad
mission of w<
Willard of tho Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union. The opposition is led
by the Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley of
tho Christian Advocate.
The other question referred to as likely
to cause another split in the church is
hieh the colored members of the
denomination have been agitating for
some time. They want representation
ot a kind different from that which the
women are demanding. They argue
that their numbers entitle them to secre
taryships and similar offices in the great
societies of tho church. They also de
clare that one of their number ought to
be honored with
Episcopacy. There is no likelihood that
their appeal will be favorably answered
by the conference and there is there
fore, danger that they will withdraw
from the church, and either go into
of the many Methodist denominations
for colored people, where they will not
he in such a subordinate position as
2W church for them
that the vote
is JVIiss Frances E.
elcction to the
foi
selves.
The next question of importance that
e General Conference will have to
take up is that concerning the Episco
pacy. In some quarte
conviction that the
there is a
should be an in
in tho number of bishops,
there may be an election of additional
bishops, as some of the aspirants are
likely to push tho matter very être
sly in the conviction that their
chances of election will not be as good
four y
Another mooted question concerning
the Episcopacy is that of the abolition
of the presiding elderships and the
establishment of diocesan bishops, as in
the Protestant Episcopal church. Then
there is talk also of making the presid
elderships elective, ana of limiting
the term of office of the bishops, who
• elected for life.
There is only one missionary society
in the Methodist Episcopal church. It
is possible that the General Conference
divide Ut into two—

Robinson, the young man killed by
Ilotherington, was a banker. He was
born in Yokohama and educated in
England, lie was very handsome,
moved in the best society, and being a
well-known man about town, w
tremely popular. Some time ago he
began paying attentions to Mrs. llether
ington and was so devoted that their
intimacy became the gossip of tho town.
Hotherington told Robinson that ho
must refrain from

went away. In two weeks he returned

also jumped out and seiz.ed Hcthering

He soon released the naval officer,
who walked away, followed by Robin
s native servant, who pointed the
shooter out to the police. Hethcrington
s arrested and placed in jail. Robin
son died soon after the shooting. On
account of the prominence of both men
and Robinson's great popularity the
affair created a great sensation in the
colony. Public sympathy ^is largely
with Hethcrington. Passengers from
Yokohama who arrived on the steamer
to-day state that it was common report
that Robinson had been very intimate
with Mrs. Hethcrington.
Mrs. J. 11. Hethcrington, whose hus

on the steamer China to join her hus
