CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Journal of tbi
evening says new and very interesting
development has recently come to light il
the matter of Bishop Whitehouse anC
Rector Cheney. Several bishoDs in tbf
Church, belonging to what is popularity
known as the high church, previously to the
sentence OF degradation against Cheney
visited and wrote letters to Bishop White
house, advising and recommending him not
to proceed to that extreme measure
They suggested that it was his province
under the canons OF the church to partially
modify the sentence given by the ecclesias-
teal court Two Of these bishops visited
Chicago tor this purpose and labored to
bring about such a result, but in vain A
prominent bishop has also written Mr.. Che
ney that he will still recognize him (Che-
ney) as a minister in good standing IN the
Episcopal Church.
