THE VOTING ON THE EPISCOPAL BIsH-
oPs.-1he question Of the confirmation of
Rev. DIR. Dekoven as Protestant Episcopal
bishop OF Illinois begins To grow interesting
Oi the standing committees that have passed
judgment within the past fortnight eleven
have given votes I'm the negative. a. follows.
those OF the diOceSeS OF Indiana, Kentucky.
Virginia, Central New York. Central Penn
sylNania. Pennsylvania, Delaware. Michi-
gan. Louisiana. and Texas: on the other side

that he expressed his sympathy with Dr
cheney, of Chicago, when dealt with by his
bishop for not conforming to the Office Of bap-
tismal regeneration ian the pra yer book. Dir
JaPgar has written a letter asserting his
fidelity 10 his church. although he NAV have
thought that Mr.. Cheney was treated with
too much haTshness.
