Eloet, 111 Oct 13. The oonferenoe routine work was rushed along to-day, diversl-flea and colored by some pleasant exhibitions of fellowship and affeotion in favor of the elder H. J. Huston and J. W.

Lee, of the supernumerary list, were plaoed in ffeotlTa relation, and H. N. Stoddard, supernumerary. In superannuate relatloa There were admitted on trial from Chicago District, Wilbur T. Atchison.

William Frazell; from Jollet District, W. E. Wllkina. W. Good, It Dlx, Albert Ba undera, the last named being daced in the aeoond-year clasa.

The stewards announced that conference claimants would this year reoelre 87 per cent of the allowance, which would be an adranoe of 12 per cent over the dlsbnrso-menta of last year: The conference waa read abetter from Dr. James Baume, ad' dressed to the Bishop, from Nalnl Tat, India, where the good brother is aerring aa a rol an-teer and self-supporting missionary of the ehnroh. The conference directed that the brother reoelre an expression of its rood will and sympathy. The Bev. Dr.

D. P. Kidder, Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Education, addressed the conference in particular explanation of the.signlfloanoe and uses of the obeerranoe of Children's Day, a day when the children of the church co-operate in their contributions to Its general educational fund. In the last fire years the adraoce in the collections from the children has been very rapid. In 18S0 it was less than $2,500: in 1881 it was in 1882, 1883.

132.000; Of 1884, 56.000. The collections of 1883 are not yet com pleted. The Board of Education has dis bursed, in the form of loans, to needy and worthy Christian students, more than and expects to continue increasing this total of disbursements. Dr. Kidder characterises Children's Day as one of the peculiar movements of modern Christianity, and aees illimitable good in its observance, though he asks that other benevolences be not slighted on Its account The conference receives as its annual divi dend from the Book Conoern, to be turned into the fund for conference ipiaa Is was apportioned to raise 92,809 for the episcopal fund.

$4,800 for freedmen's aid, and $4,000 for church extension. The Ber. Dr. Gray, whose address in the Interest of the freedmen's Aid Society was noted in these columns yesterday. spoke to the oonferenoa proper to-day.

He wss gratified to be able to remind the con ference that it had raised for this cause $210 in advance of iti apportionment, and $1,670 in advance of the collections of last year. He sketches a picture that takes such out- lines aa this: Illiteracy in Georgia, SO per I cent of population; In Alabama, 51 per cent: in South Carolina, 53.4 per oent. Number of mothers in the Southern States who can not read and instruct their children, 1.600,-OOU Proportion of Methodist Church in the South, one-quarter, or about 425,000 mem-ban. The prospect is that in fifteen years the colored people will be in the majority in eight Southern States, and in seventy years will outnumber the entire white population of the United Statea Now, take this concise statement of the future of the negro problem with which Bishop Fowler supplemented the representation of Dr. Gray.

It is meat higher for religionist or politician: One ban-. ored years from to-day there will be 150.000.000 OOLOKKD PSOPLB under the flag. The destiny of black and white ia inseparable. To-day we can save them; then we can't. In 1860 there Were hardly enough colored people in the South that oould read worth counting.

In two were reported able to read and write: perhaps there were more, but the law didn't let them own am To-day 38 per oent of the colored people can read and write. History has no parallel. From 1870 to 1880 the population of the United States increased 40 per cent The number of Roman Catbolio communicants increased In that time 38 per cent, while the number of oommunloants of the evangelical Protestant churches increased 50 percent Between 1870 and 1880 the increase in the number of eommunicanta in evangelical orthodox colored churches war 137 per cent. The field is ripe and should be harvested. The conference passed a resolution of appreciation of the work of Dr.

Gray, and invited him to revisit its charges. The amenities of pastoral work aa relate to association with the presiding; elder generally get crystallised in some precious and treasured form at the annual conference. Yesterday Presiding Elder Spencer received a watoh from his ministers, and to-day the other three retiring presidio? elders received their proof that they withdrew from their respective districts well esteemed. On behalf of the ministers of Jollet District the Bishop presented Presiding Elder J. X.

Caldwell with the eighteen published volumes of the Encyclopedia Britaa- nlca and sufficient monev to purchase the remainder of the set Brother Caldwell gratefully responded. Presiding Elder F. P. Cleveland, in turn being made the object ot some clever banter by the Biahop, received through him, from the ministers ot his district, a beautiful silver tea-eet The esteemed elder was over come, and couud only find aimple words of thanks. The third testimonial was to none other than that old veteran and servant of the church, the venerable Luke Hitchcock, who- relinquishes the Chicago District at this conference.

Hla Junior but bv a month, the Bev. Dr. Boring-, made the speech of presentation. Dr. Boring felicitously paid a tribute to Dr.

Hitchcock for hla half-oentury of nsefs-lneea, honor, and integrity in various branches ot church work, and. with the assuranoe ot the love of the conference, presented him the roixowrno Txemoxiaii addbbsb. In aa elegant silk frame and engrossed in pea and ink in a variety ot fanciful and standard letters in black and script: Address to the Bev. Luke Hitchcock. D.

Mabsh. Dr. Hltohoock, in reply, aaid he had often been the object of surprises but. never before had been so thoroughly surprised aa on the present occasion. With modesty worthy of imitation he tried to make the conferenoe believe that Is had always overrated him and had never really probed the depth of Ms inahllitr.

Becogntzing the fact that the rum power and its adherents stand together as a unit, and that the friends ot sobriety and peace MUST STAXD AS A SOUP PHlLiXX 3 against this enemy, it was resolved: 1. Thattfre conference still adhere to the long-acoepssoT doctrine of Its ehuroh, that the oas permanent ears for the evil via eonstltntional prohibition, enforced by appropriate legislation, and that no legislation oaa oe valuable which does not involve and enforce the principle of prohibition: and that such laws are valuable only in proportion as they are uni versally applied to the tratfto la intoxicants, and aa the enforcement of such laws Is certain and speedv. 2. Great eare must be used lest we be found apologists, not defenders, of a great National Grime. a.

6l We eommend the organisation- of Bands of Hope, and Indorse the efforts made to- lntrortuoe text-books of physiology in the trablie schools, teaching the affects of alcohol upon the system, and we will persistently resist every attempt by makers and sellers of beer and whisky to throw such books out. 7. We are in sympathy wltn the late General Conferenoe in lta utterance that the proper attitude ot Christians toward this trafho is one oi rntcoirpsoKiarjro opfosittox and while we do not presume to dictate to our people as to their political affiliations, we do express the opinion that they shonld not allow themselves to De controlled by party organisation, that are managed la the Interest of the liquor traflio. 8. The spirit of intolerance belongs to the dark ages, and it Is too late to use this weapon In the Interest of reform.

We believe in the rights of tree thought and free speech, with a free ballot: and any attempt to suppress either, not in harmony with the teaching of the Bible, should receive onr oonaem nation. 9. As this rear Is the centennial of the tem perance reformation, we should make special ef forts to usher in a new era when the race will be uenvereu irom tne stray or the alcohol demon. The report, whioh 4a above given in condensed form, waa unanimously adopted, and the temperance Question passed the fortv- sixth conference without aensatoinal agita tion.

As predicted in last night's dispatches, there was a lively time at the morning session of the Methodist Conferenoe when the teraperanoa report waa submitted, probably not since ante-bellum tlmea, when tha slavery question was tap at every oonferenoa, has there bees so inuoh active interest manifested In any qosstlpn as waa awakened by tha temperance resolutions this morning. The report waa read bv Bev. Mr. Davis, of Lake Mills, Beeretary of. tha Committee on Temperance.

Ko sooner had he finished reading the report than the Bev. F. a Stein, Appleton. waa on his feet, protesting against what ha characterised aa an arbitrary interpretation of the general conferenoe report on temperanoe and against that implied accusation of being time-servers and oompromlhara made against those who had conscientiousjy voted fog high lloenaa. Ho moved to amend tha report, therefore, by striking oat tha clause reading: "High license, however reached, ia only the old principle of lioenae raised to a new power; therefore we regard It' as a compromise, not only antagonizing the general position of onr church oa tha subject of lioenae but also aa a aouroe ot in creased revenue, tending to weaken genuine prohibition sentiment" THB BXY.

At this point a motion to limit the speeches to three minntee but the speakers that followed, with few exceptions, paid no mote attention to this than a wild oolt does to reins. The Ber.

Following la the report in full as adopted: sr.v Wbebbas, This year is being celebrated as the centenary ot the temperanoe movement la this country, we, as a conferenoe, wish ta recognise the providence of Uod in all that has been accomplished from the time of Dr. Benjamin Bush until now.

The advance from a mere protest against drunkenness to a plea tor total abstinence, then to a demand for legal prohibition, has been very great and very significant. Yet as Methodists, we must not forget that the temperanoe sentiment in our own ehuroh began with the founder, John Wesley, who called liquor-sellers "poisoners General, and did all in his, power to destroy their terrible business. In spite, however, ot all their grand efforts of past years the liqnor trsfflo Is now the strongest toe which the Christian ohnrch has to flghL Advancement has been made, not only in temperanoe sentiment bet also la the art ot compounalag theee drinks, whioh enslave humanity and destroy every noble element of character. Aloohol. the Product of decay and the agent of death, is ooe ot the more harmless snbstanoss that enter Into the composition ot modern lntoxiostftti beverages.
