more stringent legislation, does not tend
to make them more amiable. Under favor

BISHOP GILBERT CONsECRATED.
Impressive Ceremonies Attending the Conservation
OF Assistant Bishop Gilbert OF Minnesota.

Chicago Special 7th.--Int the ~episcopate
OF the Protestant Episcopal church OF the
United States OF America another bishop
was to-day consecrated. The priest thus
honored and sanctified by the bestowal OF
apostolic powers was the Rev. DR.. Mahlon
Norris Gilbert, late rector OF Christ
church, st. Paul. The ceremonies OF conse-
Grafton were celebrated at st. James
church, by the pastor, Rev. DIR. Vibbert,
before a congregation OF vast size. With
his elevation to the e~piscopate Bishop Gil
bert becomes assistant to Bishop Wlipple
OF Minnesota, it being provided by the can
ons that an assistant may be elected in any
diocese II the bishop thereof becomes una
BILE, by ainfrmity, or the extent of his do
cese, to discharge his Episcopal duties. In
this instance the cause OF the election OF an
assistant is the disability of the efficient,
indefatigabIe and much beloved Bishop
Whipple. BY the election and conservation
Of the Rev. DIR. Gilbert the church in the
United States adds a sixth to its roll ofas-
sistant bishops.
The services OF the morning, preceding
the ceremonies of conservation was preach
ed by Bishop futile. 1t was a broad,
manly, catholic appeal for Christian unity.
His text was this: s'But j Jerusalem, which
is above, is free, which is the mother OF
us all."-Gal. w., 26.
Turning in the pulpit Bishop Tuttle
faced the bishOp-elect, who arose, clad Ia
his Episcopal habit, and stood in the CEN
ter OF the chancil. The address then de-
liver ed to bishop-elect Gilbert was exhor-
tation and benediction all in one. It was
simply spoken, and with feeling almost
overcoming the speaker, a man Of devoted
energy.
The address over, the ceremony OF con
secration was proceeded with. Bishop
Lee, senior bishop Of the American episco-
pate presided. About him in the church
were the following:
Bishop Doane Of Albany, bishop Whipple
Of Minnesota, Bishop BcdeIl OF Ohio, Bish-
York. Bishop Roulison oI Central Pcnnsyl-
vnnia. Bishop Knickerbocktr ofdndiana,
Bishop nlnlap OF New Mexico, Bishop

The latest wonder of the 'far YES

The latest wonder of the 'far vest
where rolls the Oregon, is in an electri-
cal mountain peak. Two biologists
while at work thereon, received severe
shocks. The electric fluid entered
them in such quantity as to cause a
feeling like the pricking OF needles.
Their hair stood UP like bristles, their
muscles twitched, and, not having a
contract to serve as lightning rods for
that peak, they gathered up their in
struments hurriedly and beat a hasty
retreat down the mountain.

The strike OF the Chicago packing house
workmen is formally ended. The strikers
held q mass meeting on the 18th, atwhich
between IL, 600 and Ia, 900 men were pres
emit. A proposition to return to work on
the ten hour plan was carried almost unanl-
mously, and the strike wrs declared at an
end. Shortly afterwari Mr.. Barry, the
knight OF Labor delegate, waited on Mr.:
Armour and said the strike was at an end
and that the men would return to work
without making any conditions. The pack
~ing-house owners will keep all Of their new
men, and by running the houses up to their
full capacity expect to be able to retain in
their employ nearly all their old men.
Two members OF the executive board o.
District Assembly 81 said there would be
no trouble about the non-union men. AZ
they were put to work in the houses with
the union men it would not be long before
they would quit OF their own accord, as
things would be made pretty hot for them.
Some time after the strike had been de-
clarcd at IN end the announcement was
made that the packers had adopted .

I'm immediately. This is equivalent to q tenn
porary advance OF 10 per cent. The scale

iected the selection of some thirteen
thousand acres of land made by the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway Company within Dakota Ter

because of their having previously
been selected as indemnity land by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and the Secretary holds that the prior
ity of selection gave superiority of
right. The selections within the six
mile limits were rejected for the rea-
son that at the date of definite location
of route the lands were in the Indian
country, and that the Indians title
thereto was not eNtinguished until long
after the right of the company at
tached.
