A Scheme for the Union of ali Anglican
Churches,

LONDON, July SIT Is understood that
some Of the prelates in attendance at the Pan
Anglican Synod have elaborated scheme for
a definite union Of all the Anglican churches
throughout the world. The basis Of this
scheme has been submitted to a number of
bishops, some of whom regard it with favor,
while others are warmly opposed to it. If q
sufficient number of adherents can be OBJ
tained the plan will be submitted to the
Synod. The outline of the scheme provides
that the Archbishop of Canterbury shall be
Primate of the whole church, and that he
shall be aided by one bishop from each ma
tional Church. chosen by the bishops of that
country. The members of this council are to
reside permanently in London, and are to re-
ceive salary raised by general contributions
OF the members of the Church throughout the
world.
The Primate and the council are to have
general supervision of the affairs of the
Church, and are to constitute an ecclesiastical
court for the decision of appeals from local
convention or assemblies of each county. A
eonvocation of all the bishops is to be held at
Lambeth every ten years, and the Primate,
by advice and consent Of the council, may
summon special convocation at any time
when the interests of the Church require it.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is said not
to approve altogethar of this scheme but it
is added that he has himself privately spoken
of another plan for the accomplishment of
the purpose, which had been drawn up by his
son, lately deceased and which he thinks is
practicable.

Mr. Bristow said the Greenbaek party was
