Storm Damage in Michigan.

DETROIT, October 15.-RepOrts are
slowly coming in of damage by the storm.
In most cases the damage is to fences,
tr ees, roofs, etc. The gale blew up the
river, and the water in Lake St. Clair was
raised to an unprecedented height, being
five feet seven inches higher than ever be-
fore known. Heavy losses are reported
all along the shores of the lake,
particularly on the American side
between Fair Haven and New BALTIC.
The water extended a mile and a half npon
the land and foated away much valuable
timber and numerous small houses. The
docks at Fair Haven and SchoOrs Mills
were damaged to the extent of $1,000.
Tug McRae had her upper works smashed
in and lost her anchor. The sloop yacht
Turk, of Detroit, was carried away by the
water and finally lodged in an orchard 12O
feet from shore. Fields were generally
inundated.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 16.-The switch
mems strike stands in StGtu quo. Super
intendent Egan, of the Manitoba road,
complains that a crowd of two hundred
strikers this afternoon %uncoupled cars,
killed engines of a train load Of wheat
that the company were trying TO move;
also hat the police refused to interfere
and Mayor Ames cannot be found. He
says: ave have not had any trouble IN
moving trains in st. Paul and don't eX-
pect any. Mayor Rice has ordered his
force to protect us and our property and
they are doing it,"
In st. Paul tlains are being moved and
the places Of strikers are being filled by
conductors and brakemen, and the trains
left by conductors are being taken care of
by ~baggagemen. Prominent men among the
Minneapolis strikers express a willingness
to adopt the suggestion of the Jobbers'
Association and submit the question to
arbitration.
The striking coopers are holding out for
the original demand of sixteen cents per
barrel.

trade districts, and an amendment in the
sections relating to them was adopted,
providing that no local assembly shall be
compelled to join q district assembly, thus
permitting trade local assemblies to retain
their independence.
Another amendment which was adopt
ed, provided for an interchange of working
cards, with trade unions agreeing to re
ciprocate by receiving Knights of Labor
cards. The General Assembly adjourned
until Monday, when such portions of the
revision Of the constitution as it is deter
mined to act on al the present session will be
dispose of. Business vas transacted with
such despatch in the afternoon that some
delegates entertain hopes of an adjourn
ment Monday evening. A number Of del
egates left here for their homes to-day but
the great majority of them will carry out
their determination to remain until the
work ofsthe convention is concluded.

ten hour system, published in the morning
papers, are q great surprise to the strikers,
and threats of closing Swift's and Morris
houses are heard OF all sides. Tho mem
bers of the Executive Board, which have
the matter in hand, refuse to commit
themselves on the subject, but
it is pretty generally conceded that
the two houses will be closed be-
fore long. A prominent commission man
thought this was part of the plans Of the
packers, who, when all union men stopped
work, would place a picket line of Pinker-
ton men around the yards and keep out
all outsiders. A few cattle were slaught-
cred in Armour's new house this forenoon
probably to drill the new butchers. The
impression prevails that Armour will
start up Monday with a full force of i'm
ported men. Another batch arrived on
the Lake Shore dummy this morning.
SOME VIOLENCE.
The usual crowds remained in the
vicinity of the packing houses to-day, and
besought all men who could be reached
not to 60 to work. Many applicants for
work, however. went out on the regular
and special passenger trains and
were landed at the doors of
the packing houses, which were
guarded by armed patrols. The strikers
stopped a wagon containing clothing and
bedding for the Pinkerton men just out
side the city limits to-day and handled
the driver roughly, throwing the clothing
into the street A wagon loaded with
bread for Pinkerton guards was stopped
outside the city limits and when the po-
lice arrived the wagon had disappeared.

THEMOHAwK CONFERENCE.
Proceedings of the Closing Session of The
Friends of Poor Lo.

Friends of Poor Lo.
LAKE MOHONK, n. y, October l6.-
The first topic at Yesterdays session of the
Lake MohOnk Conference was the Mission
Indians of California. Mrs. Hiles, of Mil
waukee, who has taken up the work inter-
rupted by the death OF Helen Hunt Jack
son, gave a thrilling narrative Of the pit
iful condition of affairs in Southern CAL
i~iornia, rs witnessed by her. She thought
the case almost hopeless, unless 4 first
clSSS and in%corruptible attorney is obtained
to conduct the fight to regain possession
of the lands from which the Indians have
been driven.
Senator Dawes thought the passage of
the bill in the House, in reference to their
case, would right their wrongs without
hiring an attorney. Several persons cX-
pressed the opinion that it was useless to
await Government action. The question
of hiring counsel was finally referred to a
special committee.
The remainder OF the session, which
closed the conference, wa devoted to the
discussing Of various phases of the ques-
ton of Indian citizenship and civilization,
and to reports of the work done by auNil-
liary societies. Judge Campbell, of Phila-
delphia, read q ~telegraphic correspondence
between Secretary Lamar and the Princi-
pal of Lincoln Institute, arranging for the
placing of a large number of Apache
children there. The conference adopted n
statement calling on Congress to pass the
land in severalty bill, the Sioux reserva-
ton bill, and the bill for extending law
over all Indians, and demanding that the
provisions OF the Civil Service be extended
to the Indian Department.

NAME OF The P. f. CHURCH.
Mr.. Judd's Proposition Rejected by the
Convention.

DIR. .Judd's Proposition Rejected by the
Convention.
CHICAGO, October l6.-The galleries
and lobby Ofthe Central Music Hail were
crowded to the utmost thiSmOrning, when
the Protestant Episcopal Convention
opened, rs it was known hat the great
debate on Mr.. Judd'S proposition to drop
the Protestant Episcopal in designa-
ting the church, would close. Morning
prayer was said by Rev. Hobart Chetwood,
of California, and the benedictiOn was
pronounced BY Bishop futile OF Missouri.
The discussion Vas opened by DR..
StringfellOw, OF Alabama, who argued for
a -pOStpOnement of the consideration of the
question on the ground that the time was
not ripe. Rev. Mr.. StOddard, of Northern
New jersey, held to the same view. Mr..
Mcconnell, of LOuisiana, bitterly opposed
the proposition to change the name of the
church. and DIR. Sheffield, OF Virginia. took
the same view. The debate was then
closed by Mr.. Judd, who contended that
the opposition did not represent the pro-
g~reSsive spirit which should actuate the
church. The church should take or its
broad and true name, and this was not TO
be confounded with Romanism. Mr.. Judd
spoke for twenty minutes considering the
question from all points, and when the
hour of IL o'clock had arrived the debate
declared closed and The balloting com.
menced amid absolute silence.
The names of the clerical delegates were
called first, and were quite evenly divid-
ed on the proposition, but the sentiment
Of the lay delegates was generally opposed
to the proposition. The vote By diOceses
as follows: F~orty-nine dioceses voting,
a majority of the clericals in II dioeeSes
voted Y e; amajOrity voted nc in % do
ceses, and 10 dioceses were evenly divided.
In iorty-four diOeeses the majority of lay
delegates in IL dioceSes voted aye and in
% diOceses voted no, aud in four were ev-
emily divided The total vote was: Ayes.
LIP; NAYS, is. The Southern delegates
generally voted in favor of the resolution,
and the Eastern diOceses against it. The
comparatively strong vote in favor Of the
proposition was a surprise 10 the eonven-
ton.
The report of the Joint Committee on
Lituryical Revision was submitted and
laid on the table to await the action OF the
House of Bishops. The report Is one OF I'M
usual length, embodying numerous me-
MORALS for a revision of the prayer book,
The convention thenadjourned until next
Monday.

Time At Romney. w. Va. Friday.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October, l6.-The
Presidential hunting and fishing party ne
turned to Washington from Romney, W.
Va, at an early hour this morning. They
had q thoroughly enjoyable trip, and tax
ing into consideration the unfavoable
state of the weather, were fortunate in
the catch of fish. The head, antlen and
skin of a fine white deer" said to be a
rare species, killed by one Of the party,
were brought in by Commissioner Miller
and lay on a window sill in his office
to-day. The animal was driven
into the water by the dogs
and made a gallant struggle
for his life, wounding severely two of the
hounds but was finally killed at rather
long range by a rifle shot of Mr.. Rivins.
Barring a brief ENHANCEMENT Of q promin-
ent member of the party in a barbed wire
fence, resulting in almost irreparable
damage to his clothing, no mishaps at
tended the chase.

Worse Than the London Plague.

COREA, October l6.-Cholera is still
raging fiercely in Corea. No idea can be
formed OF the extent OF the scourge. 1t
has more than decimatcd the capital,
where, out of population of 200, 900, the
death rate rules at the frightful average of
4 thousand per day. Nearly a million
people have been swept away already, and
it is hard to say where the plague will stop.
Cerea is described as IAN appalling pest
spot"
Never was there a more frightful record
Ofthe ravageS of disease on mankind. The
story of the. plague of London is beggared
by what is now going on in Seoul. They
are beginning to give over the task of
burying the dead, and the city is threat
ened with positive extinction.

Ing Parties Tied.
QUEBEC, Can, October 15.-The terri
BILE storm of Thursday so demoralized the
telegraph service of the Province that it
is only now that particulars of the cleo
ton are being received. The returns are
now sufficiently known to show that there
is a tie between the Liberals and COnserva-
tives, thirty-nine supporters of each party
being returned. The Independent Ma
tional party carried four members, leav-
ing it TO those members to decide which
party is in the majority. The Riel affair
was used by the Liberals and Nationals to
influence the French rural districts, and
was successful in carrying fourteen coun-
ties which previously returned supporters
of the local Government.
In each'of the three divisions in this
city a labor candidate was proposed by the
Knights of Labor and other organizations,
but none was elected. The Conservatives
are treating with the four Nationalist,
who were formerly staunch Conservatives,
and if they coalesce q majority will be Sc
cured and the present Cabinet, with some
slight modification, will continue in
