Mr. Chaffee wan fre quently Interrupted by eiitlnnlnHtlo sympathizer?. Opposed Re-adjustment. II. M. Crydi'invlhe spoke In opposition to the leuilJUHtmcut. tie ni'Kiiod tliat lnsteud of InercaHlnB the value'ot Meth od I l service it would diminish Its ef fectiveness In the i lira I districts. In many ycaiH no commission hu'i ever tigrced as to readjustment. W. U Thorpe uskeiV that It be re ferred to the bishop and his cabinet. This preclpltutcd an excited argument, the majority exprcssliiR' disapproval. Tho bishop sald amiably that tech nically, tlm decision belonged to the bishop. Ho did not thlnl: that any bishop had a desire to run counter to the conference. A readjustment would necessitate the appointment of one less presiding elder and would greatly In terfere with the programme at close of conferenrp. Under the llvu-dlstrlet plan a new district probably called the Scrnnttm district would bo, formed, tak ing in tho city of Scranton and tacking it to the present Honesdnle district. Chenango would be eliminated by div iding it between Oneonta and Bing hamton. E. A. Qutmby aroused the emphatic objections of Dr. A. Grlliln, by stating thnt one young man who had served live years in a certain district was told by his presiding older tliat notning more could bo done for him, and that he couldn't pry into the other districts with a crow-bar. J. B. Sumner said that twenty-eight years ago ho had presented a report on the same subject in the same house. Ho had wished to see tho districts changed, but was long ago discouraged with the project, for men who promised to support him had failed to stand by him. He did not care whether theie were five or six, but he believed a great Injustice is being done under the ex isting conditions. He believed it was a great mistake to bring up the matter at the end of the conference. In. Favor of Relief. J. D. Hartsook spoke in favor of re lief for tho Chenango district. Dr. Haul spoke on the subject, and in his own way ho roused the conference to roars of laughter. He then said that the Xew York east, the Philadelphia, the Newark, the Ualtimoie, the great est competences of Methodism, have four districts each. The trend is toward larger districts. "When the presiding eider of Wyoming distiict gets $2,100 salary, and the others In the conference $1,000 less, something needs leadjust inent. Dr. Hard gave some vety lintel lilts to the existing conditions. Dr. Fuller Mild It is evident that the piesent commission cannot agieo and that a new commission should be ap pointed to make tin early agreement and report to the presiding bishop of next year and lender a toport on the first day of tho conference. The com mission, which has served two years, consists of the following: The presid ing elders, II. C. MeDermott, H. M. Crydenwlse, K. B. Keeliey, O. A. Place, A. F. Chaffee. Dr. Griniii said that the fifty charges lit the "Wyoming valley will soon be reduced because of exhaustion of coal. These small appointments are assisted now by Scranton and AVllkes-Barie. This support, under proposed changes will divert. He offered an amendment that the matter be left to the people of the Wyoming conference. U B. Weeks said thnt it was futile to refer It again, and offered as a substitute to the amendment that a vote be taken as to whether there shall be Ave dls tiicts or six. Bishop Interposed. Tho bishop tiled to disentangle af falis, but before the vote was taken, A. F. Chaffee said that he had been wot king for live districts during fifteen years. If the bishop) wanted to send itlm to an obscure charge, he would go, but he begged for live districts. The question was put, and the vote was counted, as live districts against six. An overwhelming vote In favor of the Ave distticts resulted 103 to IU. Dr. Grlflln olfered a lesolution to re fer it to the district stewards, in con nection with a committee of cloigynien, six stewards anil six minlsteis to servo as that commission. This motion cre ated a great commotion. The majority wanted a change right now. Tho bishop was plulnly against such a step, and so was Dr. Orlflln and the lower end ' people. Great excitement prevailed for a time. It has been many a yeur since such a hot discussion has taken place on the floor of the conference. Dr., Chaffee and his constituents had laid their plans well, and as Dr. Haul suddenly arose ns a champion of their cause, the eon test came near going through with a rush, to re-dlstrlct the conference In olio day and compiess six distilets into five. Votes and leconslderatlons, amendments and substitutes, and sub stitutes for tho substitutes weie offered in a dizzy round, but tho bishop's clear head settled them and his gentle, quiet manner quieted the tumult. 'Iho dis trict will not bo divided this year. Tho afternoon session was presided over by Dr. Hard. He v. H. M. Cryden wlse offered prayer. Itev. C. H. Sackett tend the report of the stewards. The total receipts nro $7,3l9,b0, Disburse ments $7,318, distributed among fifty llvn claimants, Tho stewards then dis tributed tho envelopes. Many of tho beuellclniles were piesent to receive tho pitifully small sum with which a great church rewards Us Incapacitated preachers. Tho treasurer, C, M, Sur dain gnyo his report.

Tho Supreme court today leversed the decision of the court of common pleas, No. fi, in tho case of Napoleon Lajoie vs. the Phila delphia National League Base Hall club. This decision upholds the valid ity of the reserve clause in the Nation al Leugue contracts. Lajoie, who for merly played second base for the Na tional League club in this city, signed with the Philadelphia American League club for the season of 1801 and 190:1. The Philadelphia base ball club, through ts tieasurer, John D. Rogers, entered suit to jestialn Lajoie from playing with the American League. The lower court held that the reserve clause was illegal, and Colonel Rogers carried tho case to the Supreme court, where the decision was reversed. If this decision stands it will affect till players who were subject to thu re-s-erve rule and who aie now playing The case attracted widespread atten tion because of the question of the val idity jjf the "reserve clause" in Nation al League contracts. Tlio lower court decided that tho National League con tiucts were lacking In mutuality and theiefoie oppressive to playeis who de sired to sign other contracts. The lower court's decision bore especially on the "ten days' release notice clause," and today's decision Is, in effect, that this clause Is equitable. Pitchers Frnser and Uernhault were included In' tho Lajolo case, but their names were withdrawn by agieenient of counsel. They aie, however, affect ed by today'H decision, Manager Shet telino of tho Philadelphia National League dub, said today: "It Is likely that all National Leaguo players now playing with tho American League will be ordered to report at once at tho National Leaguo giounds, and in the' event of their falling to do so suits will bo brought in tho cities in which they are now playing asking for an injunction restraining them from taking part In nny American League games."
