CHURCH SCANDAL.
Serious Charges against an EpiscO-
DhI RishOn.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Times this
morning had long account OF alleged
improper conduct and scsndslous pro.
ceedings of the Episcopal Bishop Allen
McCoskery, Of Michigan. The substance
OF the story is that for Ions time he hiss
cohabited with q young girl whom he
has educated and supported, and whom
he recently married to a young man Of
Detroit, named Bannister, who discovered
the guilt of McCoskery, and indirectly
through him the matter has reached the
public. The proof Of the story lies
in number of smOrous snd broadly
suggestive letters written by McCaskerY
to the girl Fannie Richards; in his res
ignatIon TO the Committee OF the Diocese;
in the confident denial which he made to
the committee; in his acknowledgment Of
unusual intimacy with the girl; IN his
Identification of some Of the letters; IN
his sudden departure for Europe, and in
the IetiCenCe of the dIgnltsries OF the
Episcopal Church, who, although they do
not affirm the story, refuse to deny it.
On the other hand, the stories are so
little authenticated they cannot be said
TO be more than TumOFs at present.
Bishop McCoskerey denies the whole
story. He declares that be resigned on
account of i'll health and old age, and
points to life of rectitude for seventy
four years as his vindication. 1t is init.
mated, though not urged, in explanation
of the letters, that be WAS becoming de-
ranged on some points, and that he wrote
them while out of his head The mat
ter has been kept profound secret, and
leaked out casually.

LONDON, April 1.-THE notices OF the
reduction of the wages of the cotton op-
eratives of Lancashire expire to morrow.
A refusal of the masters at Manchester

their resolution, that if strike occurs at
any OF the nilLs where notice has been
given of ten per cent. reduc-
tion, the remainder of the trade

ment, leaves little hope of averting
the struggle, which will involve the stop

with their masters, yesterday, resolved

The operatives at Accrington,
District Church, Harwood, Enfield

ability, will begin the most gigantic
strike and lockout that has ever occur

been issued to the operatives by the COM

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-.
AeIIOu Of Democratic Caucus on Sem
ate Resolution,

WAsHINGToN, April 1.-THE House,
by vote of l0l against l29, to-day &c
fused TO refer to the Committee on Ways
and Means the concurrent resolution OF
the Senate fixing the 10Th OF June as the
time for adjournment of Congress with
out day, the anti tariff Democrats voting
with the Republicans against the motion
to refer. They desired to pass the reso-
luton. Heretofore resolutions OF this
kind have always been referred TO the
Committee on Ways and Means, for the
reason that that Committee was best in
formed of the condition of public busl-
ness. DIlstory motions TO prevent d
vote on the passage OF the resolution
were made by Democrats, one Of whom IN
private conversation seemed 10 express
the views of the opponents of the resolu-
tion. He said an adjournment at so
early q day would be defeat to the
tariff bill, and, perhaps, OF the legisla-
tion on finance and other measures bene'
fetal to the country, and they could
not 60 home and face their constituents
without passing some measures OF relief.
With view OF reconcilng the differences
amoUg Democrats. A caucus was
held tonight at the Capitol
and about seventy members were
present. Representative Blackburn in
the Chair, and Clark, OF Missouri,
Secretary.
Represantatlv Wood, of New York,
offered resolution to postpone action
| IN the Senate resolution Tor adjournment
until the 18th of May, and spoke of the
Justice and p-opriety OF the House taking
the initiative of adjournment and what
he termed dictation in this particular.
Representative Wright briefly eI.
planned his views against the passage OF
I the tsriff bill and Whist he thought would
have a depressing effect on labor. He
felt satisfied that if the House would
closely apply itself to business Congress
could adjourn by the 10th OF June.
Representative Hsrdenberg also op-
posed the action on the tariff bill and was
/ iu favor of postponing action on the reso-
luton till the 10th OF May.
Representative Harris, of Virgins,
advocated prompt action on the tsrt

and Means Committee TO reduce

to some of the gentlemen who
preceded him in the discussion
ard who had censured the Democratic
Senators for permitting the resolution Of
adjournment to pass the Senate, he
said il was wise in them to permit the
resolution to pass, as it placed IN the
hands of the Democrats of the House
the power to csntrol the public business.
| Other gentlemen took part IN the discus
sion, ex pressing views similar to those
above mentioned, and 1t was generally
agreed that every Representative should
vote on the tariff bill according to the
interests of his own section, irrespective
of party politics. The resolution for the
postponement OF action on the Senate
resolution until the 10Th of May Swas
then adopted, Repres sentative Bridges
