Failure to Approve thG Resolution to the
Congregational Council.
CmcAuo, oct. l5.-The Protestant Epis-
cop.l Convention was opened this fore.
noon, by tho reading OF prayers by Rev.
IA. l.. Richards, Of Rhode Island. A
neasare from the House OF Bishops, while
expressing sympathy with all wise efforts
to Increase the knowledge OF the Bible in
heslhen lands, does not deem 1t expe-
dient to incur further expense. The
House Of Bishops also recommended the
appointment Of joint committee 10 whom
shall be referred Hll reports relating to the
aged and in6rm clergy fund. Another
message recommended that the two Com.
mitees on Christian Education under the
auspices Of the church report such ways
and means az seemed practical. The con-
seCration Of Rev. Or. Mahlon M. Gilbert.
To be Assistant Bishop Of Minnesots, was
approved by tho House Of Bishops.
The House Of Bishops also returned a
communication In reference to the pro-
posed resolution Of the House oil Deputies
to the Congregational Assembly, which
among other things declares: "The House
Of Bishops takes tho opportunity 10 assure
the House OF Deputic6 OF its profound
sympathy with the spirit Of their resolu'
tion. This House declares its hearty re-
speCt and affection for all who love the
Lord Jesus Christ In sincerity, and at this
time, especially, for their fsllow.C Christians
assembled In this city az the National
Council Of Congregational Churchfs 8
in the United States. This
House also avows Its solemn
purpose, under the guidance Of the Holy
SpiriLs,to promote, with tbe concurrence Of
the House Of Deputies, some practical
plan for bringing before our fellow Chris
tians In this land the duty to our common
LordandSayiour Of terminRtingths unhap:
pydlvisions which dlsbonor His name and
hinder tho triumph upon earth Of His
Glorious Kingdom"
The communication Rtates that the re-
solution is returned with the foregoing
Gtatemsnt as the reason for the failure TO
approve the resolution contained In the
message. The House Of Deputies agreed
to The change Of the House OF the Diocese
Of Wisconsin TO that Of Milwaukee.

A CHAT WITH PowDEnLY.

ne Says lie Is RoGdytO Step Down ut any
lime Constitutional Revision.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 15.-An Assocla'
ted Press reporter asked Mr.. Powderly
what no thought OF the action Of the AZ
sembly in extending the term Of general
master workman to two years. He repll.
ed: ~ am very well satisfied with 1t for
the reason that it will. give an opportuni.
ty Of having q constitutional convention
at which no personal claims for office
or consideration can be present.
ed; therefore representatives can
perform their duty Of leglSlatlng
without being called upon to work up the
chances Of themselves or friends for office.
Consequently, the whole time OF the con.
vention eau be given 10 law.maklnR.
Personally, did not stand In the way Of
the election OF another Grand Master
Workman, for II they were desirous
Of clsoting another man In my
place i would have been per.
lectly willing they should do It. Should
tho Executive Board at any time during
the year desire TO put any one else in my
place, l will gladly step aside and assist
him In performing his duty. Iexpect that
the Executive Board, elected to-day, will
be unit in sustaining my policy, which
Is the policy Of the Knights Of Labor"
In reply TO q question as to the pros
poets OF completing the revision OF the
constitution al this session Mr.. Powderly
said, ~ favor submitting the entire con.
atitution TO the local assemblies. I think
1t would be wise II the Convention takes
action on the most important parts OF the
proposed revision for II to oppoint com.
mittee from those who oppose different
sections to act with the general officers
and from tho balance prepare q Constitu.
ton, which they should submit to each OF
the local assemblies. By that means
the Convention would be relieved
oil that much work and the
order at large would have the
opportunity as well as the satisfaction Of
making lie own constitution. This plan
was never tried before. In former Year,
the assemblies voted on such amendments
TO the constitution aa were submitted
sixty days prior to the holding Of the ses.
sion Of the General Assembly. The rep.
resentativeB who assembled adopted
such amendments and laws as they
deemed necessary, and alter their appro.
val by the General Assembly they were
not submitted to the local assemblies un'
I'll they went before them In the shape oi
laws. This is, In my estimation, the mosl
democratic way Of legislattng, and cam ot
fail 10 give Eatibiaclion.h
