iereyman." which appeared in your iss ne of |
uesday, denying that Bishop Nottingham
roposes TO make a new diocese Of the District |
Columbia, has caused considerable regret,
nd it Is believed cad hoped that the aforesaid |
lergy man Is net well informed. III new do
ese should be established here, and another |
nth the See at annapolis, which is also a fea-
ure OF the plan, We would then have four do !

What could be more f.tno? This arrange

'enehcially in various ways. Especially would
greatly augment the powers OF tee episcopate,

lnder WHICH the CHURCH in this ulocese has so
gDg grcaned-of lay interference with fhH "a
