Episcopal Convention.

New York, Oct, 27.-The last days ses-
sion of the Protestant Episcopal general
convention opened In the house of ofdeputies
with religious services. The committee on
canons reported resolution declining to
concur with the house of bishops in chang
ing the existing canon with regard to the re-
instatement of clergymen who have aban-
doned the church. The resolution was
adopted. Rev. d. Beers, of the Joint
committee on receiving missioHery bishops
for each territory in which there is not ut
present bishop, reported in favor of the
proposition. The report was adopted to-
gether with resolution appointing COM
mittee OF twenty-one to act as an auxiliary
10 the bonrd Of managers of missions, and
create missionary bishop fund. A resolu.
tion from thecommittee on amendments TO the
constitution, declaring it inexpedient at the
present time To amend the constitution SO as
to require further legislation by convention,
was adopted Hon. Mr. Burgwin, of Pitts
burg, from the committee Of confer
ence in disagreement Of the two
houses, as to resolution concerning
notification of the amendation Of the book of
common prayer, reported tnat they had
agreed to restore one portion of the clause
stricken out by the house of deputies at its
session on Tuesday. This was tie clause
forbidding the use of any prayers other than
those in the prayer-book. Rev. Dr. Philip
Brooks, of Massachusetts, pre'ented the
minority report of which he said he saw
no reason why the house Of deputies should
recede from its action of the previous day.
The right, he said, to use extompore prayers
was nalienablo, and any attempt TO restrict it
would be odious to great art ofthe church.
On the vote being put, the report Of the
minority was rejected by the following vote /:
Clergy-syes, 26; noes, II. Eight dioceses
divided Lay-ayes, IL; noes, 27. The
majority report was then adopted and the
sdbject will now be passed to the diocesan
convention for ratification.

Journalist Arrested I'm Connection
With the Garfield Chinese Letter.

New York, Oct. 27.--Kennard Phillips,
journalist was arrested in Brooklyn to-day
on charge of forgery in connection with
the Garfield Chinese letter. He will be
arra'gned in the supreme court this evening.
His counsel has already applied for his dis
charge on writ If habess corpus. Another
report states that the arrest was made on
the charge of counterfeiting postotlce dies
upon warrants granted in the federal courts
Phillips.was arrested in the lobby of the Park
theatre, Brooklyn, while in conversation
with ex-Sheritf Dsggett, several republican
leaders of Kings county and other gentlemen.
The arrest was made by Detective Stewart,
of New York, upon warrant issued by
Judge Noah Davis, the presiding Justice Of
the supreme court, which charges the prisoner
with malicious libel. Phillips and the off.
Ger, accompanied by William Veeder, came
over to police headquarters, in this city.
Aiter brief detention here he was taken to
the supreme courtroom. Judge Davis being
temporarily absent he was detained In the
district attorneys Office He will be ar
ragned before Judge Davis later in the day.
kennard Phillips was arraigned at 81
o'clock this evening before Chief Justice
Noah Davis, of the supreme court. His
counsel, General Roger A. Prayer, objected
to the prosecution reading tho affidavit
on which the arrest was obtained, but the
Judge overruled the objection. Assistant
District Attorney Bell read the affidavit by
Colonel George Bliss, who testified that
he examined the fac simile copy of
letter, with others in his possessions, from
General Garfield and pronounced it forgery;
that he compared the Photographic copy Of
the letter with the writings of the accused
and on information and belief thought he
was the author Of it. Afidavits sworn to by
Joseph e. Payne and Albert /. Southworth,
experts in handwriting, were read and were
of similar purport. Attached to affidavit
was the original copy of on article published
and written by the accused. A motion w''
then made to have the warrant dismissed on
the ground that the sffidsvits were not
strong enough to support it,
The motion was denied by
Judge Davis, who held that the publication
of an article after its authenticity has been
denied, which tended to bring odum on the
author, was criminal libel. The
examination was adjourned until II o'clock
tomorrow morning, the prisoners furnishing
30 900 bail to appear.
