Conservation of Esis:Iop Potter. of New
York


New YORK, October 20.-The consecra-
ton OF the Rev. DR.. Henry c. Potter as
Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of New
York took place to-day at Grace church.
The ceremony was probably the most i'm
posing that has ever taken place at the
consecration of a bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in this country. Forty
bishops and over GOO clergymen took part
in the services. Admission to the church
was by ticket, and there was scarcely
standing room shortly after the doors were
thrown open. There was early service in
the morning for the parishioners, at which
communion was administered. The Bishop
of Iowa officiatcd, assisted by the Revs. A.
l.. Carter, DID,, q. +. Wilson, +. O. Flagg
and NJ. L. Woolsey The visiting and
resident ministers formed in procession in
building on Broadway shortly before II
o'clock, preceded by an usher robed in
white, and followed by the faculty and
students of the General Theological Semin-
ary. After these came the visiting clergy,
several hundred in number, in their
robes; next walked the resident clergy.
The bishops who took part in the process
sion were Whipple, of Minnesota Stevens,
of Pennsylvania; Veal, of Kansas; Quin-
tard, of Tennessee; Clarkson, of Nebraska /;
Tuttle, of Utah; Beckwith, of Georgia !;
Morris, of Oregon; Robertson, OF Mis-
souri,, and almost all the Eastern bishops.
The venerable Bishop Williams, of Con-
necticut, came last in the procession. The
venerable Bishop Smith, of Kentucky,
presiding bishop OF the Church and con
/ secrator, was too feeble to take part in the
| procession, and did not enter the church
| until the hour for the service to begin,
when he was assisted to his place by at
tendants. When the bishops had taken
| their places in the church the service be-
gan, Bishops Stevens, Whipple and Lay,
officiating. Bishop Williams, OF Connect
icut, preached the sermon. After the
promise of conformity to the litany was
said by Bishop Seymore, the benediction
was pronounced and the recessional sung.
At the conclusion OF the service the bish-
ops, ministers and prominent laymen par
took of a collation. in a restaurant near
! Grace church.

Rumorea Abdlcation of Queen Victori

Rumorea Abdication of Queen Victoria
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Specials have
been received saying that the Queen of En-
gland contemplates Indicating. The rea-
sous for this most unexpected course are:
Her Majesty's fast falling health and in
creasing unwillipgness and sometimes in
ability on her part to perform duties con-
sistent with the government. For some
years the Queen has been a mild believer
in spiritual,sm. She thought the spirit of
her dead husband used to assist her In
working out questions which perplexed her.
Since the death of her favorte servant,
John Brown, she has been very much de-
pressed, and finally 1t was necessary to re-
move her to Balmoral, where some of her
happiest days were spent with the husband
Of her youth. The correspondent adds:
81 am told that some very pathetic scenes
took place at her last visit there. She seem.
ed to feel the actual presence Of her dead
Prince, and talked as though he were by her
side. and other occurrences frightened
and alarmed her daughter Beatrice greatly,
and she insisted that some of the other mem
bers of the family should come down at once.
1t was telegraphed from London by an Am
bassador Of great power to his sovereign,
Wednesday last, that the abdication of the
Queen of England was impending and
would probably occur very soon. The break
down of her health has been followed by
melancholy Of most pronounced type.
II seems not to be generally known that
the trouble with the Queens knee comes
from large ulcer Of scrofulous and cancer
Gus nature that has formed under the knee
and in spite Of all that can be done is eat
Ing Its way to the bone, and her condition
Is very serious indeed"
