Episcopal Convention.

CHICAGO, Oct. II THE house of dep.
uties of the Protestant Episcopal church
began its sixth days session this fore.
noon. The committee on Conservation of
bishops reported in favor Of the consecra
ton OF Rev Mahlon Morris Gilbert as
assistant bishop Of Minnesota. The point
was ralsed that the question of the con
secration Of IA bishop should be held with
closed doors. The matter was accord
lngly referred back to the committee.
The committee on canons submitted a re-
port authorizing the diocese of New Jer-
sey to change its name to that of New
ark. The committee also asked the ques.
ton of the conservation of colored people
to the epi>copacy should be referred to
the committee on constitution. After
considerable discussion the report was
placed on the calendar.
a messenger from the house of bishops
reported that the bishops had decided,
the house Of deputies concurring, that
there is no constitutional obstacle TO the
consideration and adoption of the several
additions and alterations in the book of
common prayer proposed to the general
convention of 1888. A similar report
was presented on behalf Of tie joint com
mitiee on hturgical revision OF the house
of deputies. Referred To on
constitution and amendments.
Rev. Benjamin Franklin, Of New Jlr-
sey, read a unanimous report Of the joint
committee on marriage and divorce APP
pointed at the general convention of 1888.
The report was of unusual length, and
considered all the causes deemed sufficient
IN the various state laws for the granting
of a divorce. The report embodied a new
canon. which contained several stringent
notifications of the existing canon on
marriage and divorce. The proposed new
canon provides that no marriage of any
person under is years Of age shall be SOL
emniz d unless the parents or guardians
be present or have given written consent;
tina. at least two witnesses knowing the
contracting parties be present; that divorce
can only be recognized or granted on the
| round of infidelity, the guilty person
being forbidden again to marry during the
lifetime Of the person from whom he or
she was divorced. The proposed canon
forLi Is the remarriage of divorced persons
under certain circumstances, and provides
for penalties to be imposed upon the clergy
for any non observance of the strict letter
OF the canon The report was made the
special order for Oct. IA.

PARIS, Oct. I2-There is a rapid
growth Of war feeling in France. The
Boulanger party have begun the issue of
two new journals, La Rerance and Lc
Solhtt LaJoureur. to advocate an often
sive policy in vindication of the old mill
tary prestige of France. Gen. Boulanger,
however, dlsowns any connection with the
papers. NJ. Lavedon, the military critic,
writes to the Fg1ro that Gen. Boulanger
has prepared a well conceived plan in
conjunction with II staff officer OF hiph
raak, fer 2 continual campaign. MItaire
says that Gen. Boulanger desires war, no
for tho purpose of recovering Alsace. not
to crafty personal ambition. but as a step
leading to the solution of social questions.
The s%trictest taboo of everything German
is being observed. Lockenoh. the minis
ter of commerce, has ordered the police
to prosecute all persons selling boxes of
toys imported from Germany and contain

NEW YORK, Oct. I2.-The family of
Micallo Concord, who keeps a laborers'
boarding house in the vicinity of shaft
No. 6 of the new aqueduct, got into a
general fight to day. aud there was om
family blood spilled before it was ended.
During the scrimluare the head of the

to bore holes through his wife. Some of
the boarders thought it wa time to inter-
fere and took the gun away from the Iufu-
rated foreigner. One of Concero' s daugh-
tiers, Mrlina. then attacked her father
with a big carving knife, stabbing him in
the lett side of the back. The knife
struck a bone AMI glanced upward, %infict-
ing an urly wound. The girl then slashed
him in the face. Louisa, another daugh-
ter, amused herself with the gun while
