CHICAGO, May 3.-Tho departure of the Rev. Ar
thur Ritchie for Now-YOrk has caused revival Of
the discussion over his ritualistic tendencies and
his conflict with the higher digntarios Of tho Epis
cOpalian Church i'll this diocese. Tho Church of
| the Ascension. over which the Rev. Mr.. Richie
presided. was modest structure, but the forms OBJ
served in the service 80 extreme as to invite
curiosity-seekers even of the Episcopal faith from
other portions of the city. His congregation IN
creased and the parish is one of the largest IN
the city and is about to enter into the possession of
a fine church cdifce. His contest with Bishop
| McLarcn while apparently passive on the
| part of the Bishop. has been food for
a great deal of conjecture in EpiscOpalian circles.
| There has never been anything approaching open
charges or threats Of discipline, beyond tho fact
| that the Bishop has declined to take part i'll tho
celebration of the "mass at tho Church of the As
cension, and has performed the ceremony of con-
rinaton in the case of applicants from tho Church
| of the Ascension in some other church editce in
carrying out his decIson not TO enter the Rev. Mr.
Ritchios church so long he held 10 his extreme
forms Now il appears n new difficulty has arisen
in the announcement by Bishop Potter that he will
welcome the Rev. Mr.. Richie into his diocese on
his receiving letters of dismissal from Bishop
| McLareu While it has been intimatcd that these
would not be issued without some delay and
questioning it s believed that they will he granted
without any discussion. 1t Is acknowledged on all
sides apart from tho contest over Riualsm which
has sprung up from the forms observed by Mr.
Ritcbie, that he has pursued and carried out am
bilious and commendablo works of charity and that
his parish has sympathized with him in all his
ecclesiastical contests.
