The action of some memiiers In hissing
Dr. Tigerf, tiie fraternal delegate from the
Methodist Kpiscopal Church South, wasdi

by a remark by nr. ligert that "the south

(roans and hisses weredirected at the speak

insult offered Dr. Tigerf will delay the pro
posed consolidation of the two churches.
Considerable discission took place on the
report of the Committee ou Itinerary, but
no decision on the subject was readied.
The majority reiwiri favors the removal of
ilie time limit, believing Methodism could
better subserved by the permanent loca
tion of ministers. The minority oppose the
removal of the time limit.
It is a great surprise to those who have at
tended the Conference to be informed nf the
excitement created by certain reported ac
tion by this body mi the subject oY dancing.
The fact is no action has been taken. A
memorial was presented and referred to a
committee on tae general subject of amuse
ment. Tho reported remark of one of the
bishops In approval is without foundation.
It i to be runenibered that Ibis subject has
not been presented to the Conference, by the
