DAYS, Of which she was detained 81 days at Rio in
consequence of the prevalence of the Yellow Fe-

between the two ports. She is now coaling at Ia
bogs, and viii be ready for on the 18th or 18th

fast and dry, and has amply sustained the judg-

She reports the steamers West Point and Tabo-

Ian before her. They are expected here hourly.
The steamer IsthmEs has been heard Of at Reale

There has been quite strong speculation here
in tickets for the Columbus. The steerage tickets
are selling today at $3.50 to $500, and the cabin
tickets at 5000 to $3.50, and are in demand at these
figures.

Things In Philadelphia.

Correspondence OF The Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA, Friday, May ~
The Afternoon Session Of the Episcopal Conven-
tion after closed my yesterdays letter was occu-
pied on the question of admitting coored congrega-
tons. The majority of the Committee reported
that il was inexpedient to repeal the eth revised
regulation of the Church as adopted in 1795, two
wears after its organization. This regulation de-.
clare, that the African church Of st. Thomas Is not
entitled to seats in the Convention. The minority
of the Committee, however. reported in favor Of
resembling the 9Th regulation. The Convention
adopted the majority report and therefore the Afi
can church OF st. Thomas, congregation as old or
older, believe, than the organization of the Do
cese is out Of the pale Of lis protection and inu
ence. II was stated during the debate that 30 ear
ly as September, 1894, Bishop White laid before
the State Convention the Constitution Of the St.
Thomas Church, and il was then resolved that as
soon the act Of association be signed the Church
should be entitled TO all the privileges enjoyed by
the other churches in the Diocese.
The Convention succeeded, also, In eecting Rev.
Drs. BULL and BOWMAN as delegates 10 the Gene
raj Convention; and this morning the selection OF
George NJ Wharton completes the number, viz -

CHERoKEE EFFORTS FOR EDUcATTos-It is
known to the friends of the Indians that the Cher
okees continue to advance in civilization and have
made efforts to extend the privileges of Education
to their rising generation. Beside the Mission
Schools long sustained among them by the benevo-
lence Of citizens of the United States. they have
supported for several years trenty-Ons free Public
Schools out Of their own funds And, with the
view of raising higher the standard Of Education
among them, they have just completed, at heavy
expense, two commodious brick buildings to be
used as Male and Female High School Teachers
Of capability and moral worth will be employed to
take charge Of these schools, which, it Is trusted,
are to exercise an important influence in spreading
light and knowledge throughout their country To
make them as useful possible, It'll desirable that
there should be Libraries connected with them con-
tanning standard works of e miscellaneous charac-
ter. As means Of obtaining them, il has been
thought that there may be many persons In this
City who have duplicate and other copies OF works
which il would be agreeable for them 10 donate to
this object.
