The Episcopal Trienniai Convention.

NEW YORK, Oct lin the House of Depu-
ties of the P. E. General Convention this
morning, Rev. DIR. johnson offered resolu-
ton providing that committee composed of
three bishops, three clergymen and three lay
men be appointed to examine the new (Eng-
lish) revision of the Bible, and to report
whether such revised Bible shall be adopted as
the authorized version of the Church.
= The report of the committee on Christian
Education, made by Rev. DR.. Coppee, recon-
mends the maintenance of parochial schools of
various grades commensurate with the de-
mands of the age and the needs of the people
in science, literature and art. This includes
the idea of securing such endowmeuts as will
give permanence and enable the church schools
to compete successfully with others. The re-
port deprecates the practice on the part of
churchmen of sending their children to schools
specifically under the auspices and control of
other denominations, in which the religious
teaching is different from that of the church
In Roman Catholic schools both doctrine and
practice are, in our opinion, erroneous, and
besides, the people are taught that our Holy
Church is no part of the Church of Christ at
all, but schismatic body. The practice of
sending children to such schools has been pro-
life of perversions. The report says too much
care cannot be taken in providing proper edu-
cation, especially of high order, for girls.
The report and suggestion were adopted.

A Political Controuersx in Florida.

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 11.-Some excitement
in political circles has been caused over a con-
troversy between Democratic and Republican
committees on the question whether persons
convicted of larceny have right to register
and vote. The Attorney General takes the
ground that persons convicted of larceny by
any court of competent jurisdiction without
regard to the grade of the crime, forfeits the
right of franchise. The Republican state COM
mittee however takes the position that when
the conviction is for a less sum than $40 it
makes the grade misdemeanor and not felony
and does not work such disqualification. The
Republican committee in circular threatens
any registration officer or inspector of election
with prosecution in the United States Court if
they interfere in any way with citizens right
to vote on account of his conviction in JUS
tees court. The Democrats on the other
hand are determined that their view of the
matter shall control the registering officers.

No News from the Jeanette

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.-Lieut John Wy
koff of the revenue cutter Corwin, who has ar
rived here on the steam whaler Mary and
Helen, 81 days from the Arctic Sea, says the
Corwin made three trips to Herald island, but
was unable to land on account of ice. The
Corwin traversed the Arctic waters in every
direction between Point Barrow and Herald
island without gaining any intelligence of the
Jeanette. The whalers have been unable to
reach Wrangle Land, for which the missing
ship was headed when last seen. Another at
tempt will be made to reach Herald Island be-
fore the close of the season.

WEAK AND SELFISH.
Gen. Grants Opinion of Hancock

LEADvILLE, Col, Oct 11.-Dr. Fowler
here visiting his brother, has made with his
own hand some unimportant corrections in the
report of his interview with General Grant
and adds the following statement:
While the conversation was upon General
Hancock General Grant expressed himself
strongly in this wise and repeated the sentence
at least three times: HE is very weak and
very ambitious man. He is the most selfish
n an | ever knew. He never was satisfied
with the mention made of him by his superior
officers although he received all that he de-
served and more than many of his comrades
He was out of temper whenever any other
officer was commended. He could not bear to
have anybody else praised. He is the most
selfish man l ever knew" This, said the
doctor, is just what the General said and if
the report sent to the papers is as 1 wrote it,
Gen. Grant has not denied and will not deny it.

THE ALLAN STEAMERS

To Touc h at Boston Instead Of Baltimore.
Boston, Oct. ia Montpelier, Vt, special
to the Boston Journal says an important
change has been made in the route of the AL
Ian line of steamers, which have hitherto run
between Liverpool and Baltimore, so that now
the steamers will land at Boston. The change
was brought about by the Central Vermont
Railroad Company, and will be another source
OF much revenue to the State, as the large
amount of traffic which has before gone to
Portland and Baltimore will now pass through
that State to Boston. The house of Sir Hugh
Allan is at Montreal and the amount of traffic
to pass over the line will be large This
change is due to the efforts of the president,
