CHICAGO, October 12th.-The Protestant
Episcopal Convention began its sixth davis
session this forenoon. The Committee on
Conservation of Bishops reported in favor
of the consecration of Rev. Mahlon Morris
Gilbert as Assistant Bishop of Minnesota
The Committee on Canons asked that the
question of the conservation OF colored peo-
pie to the Episcopacy should be referred to
the Committee on Constitution.
A messenger from the House of Bishops
reported that the Bishops had decided, the
House OF Deputies copeurring, that there is
no constitutional obstacle to the considera-
ton 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 the joint Committee on Liturgical
Revision of the House of Deputies and
Constitutional Questions. Rev. DR.. Hoff-
man, of New York, presented the re-
port OF the joint Committee on
the Spiritual Care of Immigrants,
and after reviewing the question at length
the report recommends that joint com
mittee of both houses be appointed to con-
suit with the authorities of the churches of
England, Scotland and Ireland. and the
Church of England in Canada, for joint
action of all branches of the Church, for
the reception and spiritual care of immi-
grants. Adopted, The report of the Com
nittee on Marriage and Divorce was of un-
usual length. The proposed new canon
provides that no marriage of any person
under Is years OF age shall be solemniZed
unless the parents or guardians shall be
present or had given their written consent !;
that at least two witnesses knowing the
contracting parties be present; that divorce
can only be recognized or granted on the
ground of inideiiIy, the guilty person
being forbidden again to marry during the
life OF the other PERSON from whom he or
she was divorced. The proposed canon
forbids the remarriage of divorced persons
under certain circumstances, and provides
for penalties to be imposed 1pon the clergy
for any non-observance of the strict letter
Of the canon. The report was made the
special order for October 18th. At the after
uoon session various subjects were debated,
but there was no final action taken on any
question.
Liability of Stockholders.
WASHINGTON, October 12th-The Pacific
National Bank cases, which were under ar
gument in the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day, are of interest to large num-
ber of persons, especially in Massachusetts,
inasmuch as they involve the question of
the liability of stockholders of the inSolvent
Pacific National Bank of Boston for the
amounts of the stock subscribed to by
them when the capital stock of the bank
was increased from $500, 600 TO 81 ,000,00 in
September, 1882. The appealing stock
holders contend that the capital stock never
was validly increased to 100000; that
the attempt of the Directors and Comp
troller of the Currency in December, 1881,
to fix the capital stock at 1861 300 was con-
trary to law and void, and that conse-
quently the shares of the so-called new
stock on which they are sued, never had
any legal existence. The Court below de-
cided against them.
