"A German Military Bill - The Protest
ant Episcopal Church Convention.

BERLIN, Oct 1.-THE Gar arrived in
Berlin this morning accompanied by En-
peror William. They embraced repeatedly.
Afterward the Gar turned to Bismarck
and shook hands with him He also held a
brief conversation with the chancellor and
subsequently entering a carriage, drove to
the Russian embassy at fast trot the en-
tire distance.
Salutes were fired and the streets were
plentifully decorated with flags and bunt-
ing, but the people did not cheer as the
Gar passed along. Emperor William took
his departure from the Russian embassy
after remaining there a few minutes. Bis
marck remained and had a conversation
with the Gar alone lasting twenty min
utes.
Emperor William remained at the Rus
sian embassy to attend dejuner given by
the Russian ambassador. Count Schouva-
loft welcomed the Gar and called for three
cheers for hisimajesty. There was hearty
response. The Car, speaking in French,
toasted Emperor William. The two en-
perCrs conversed animatedly during the
repast. In the afternoon the Car drove
out in an open carriage surrounded by
cavalry. He visited eX- Expresses Augusta
bassy, the Car retired for
short time for rest and quiet
AT o'clock Prince Bismarck arrived and
remained in conference with the Car until
i o'clock The chancellor upon leaving,
was escorted to his carriage by Count
Schouvaloff the Russian ambassador. A
dinner in honor of the Gar was given this
evening in the whitehall of the schloss
The Gar sat between the Emperor and
empress, facing Prince Bismarck. The
Emperor, in toasting the Car, said: Il
drink to the welfare of my hoDored friend
and guest-the Emperor of Russia, and to
the continuance of that friendship which
has subsisted between our houses for over
hundred years, and which [ am resolved
to cherish as alegacy from my ancestors. u
The Car, replying in French, thanked
the Emperor for his friendly sentiments
and drank to his welfare. Turning then to
Prince Bismarck, the Gar raised his glass
and drank to the chancellor, who stood up,
emptied his glass and bowed deeply. There
was similar change of courtesies between
Emperor William and the Russian ambas-
sador.
Ex-Emperess Frederick will give din
ner in honor OF the Gar tomorrow.

New YORK, Oct. lin the Episcopal
general convention to-day Rev. Dr. Bene-
dict, chairman of the committee on consti-
tutional amendments, submitted report
that the committee deemedi it inexpedient
to make any change in the general conven-
ton or to make any change in the method
of voting. This committee also asked to
be discharged from further consideration
of the subject. The report was signed by
nine members of the committee, two were
absent and two dissented. The house as
sented to the discharge of the committee
but the report was submitted. Objection
to its report was made and under the rule
it was placed on the calendar The subject
of the report is proportionate representa-
ton and the one to which it was opposed is
enc of the most important to be acted upon
by the present committee. A message
from the house of bishops was received an
nouncing the conservation of Rev. Drs.
Morris and Spalding as bishops of Oregon
and Colorado respectively.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the report in favor of several
changes in the present hymnal's addition
Rev. DR. Nelson, secretary of the commit
tee, presented the report and spoke in favor
of its adoption. Mr.. Hill Bargiven moved
that the matter be referred to the COM
mittee of the whole, and to avoid general
discussion, that Il might occupy their time
until the end of the session. The motion
was carried and the house went into COM
mittee of the whole. 1t was decided that
the hymnals should be called by numbers,
one by one, and that each hymn TO which
no objection is made shall be considered ap-
proved.
After some consideration the announce
ment was mad that the committee was in
competent to revise the hymnal, and the
matter was referred back to the house of
bishops. A motion by DR.. Egar that the
matter of revision be referred to q commit
tee to report to the next general conven-
ton, and that the hymnal be authorized for
use until the next convention, was adopted,
as was also motion tentative or the use of
the prayer book until the next general con
veution.
The house of bishops sent a message in
forming the house of deputies they declined
to adopt the alterations suggested in toto.
They would, however, amend Title /, Sec
ton >, of the constitution, agreeing to the
election of bishop three months after a
general convention. They also said they
had not fully considered the matter of con
secrating the new bishops in the dioceses
of Missouri and California.

Three CrOnin Suspects Arrested.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Three suspects were
arrested by the police this afternoon for al
legged completely in the murder of Dr.
Cronin. The greatest mystery prevails
around the criminal court building where
the men are confined. The first intima
ton of the important proceedings were
given by the states attorney in Judge Nc
ConnelPs court room this afternoon when
Judge Longnecker asked that the court adj
iourn until tomorrow. He said he had i'm
portant business regarding more new de-
velopments in the case and would be busy.
Judge Mcconnell granted his request.
Chief of Police Hubbard, Captain Schuetler,
Judge Longnecker and Attorney Willis at
once won't to the states attorneys
office where they held long consultation
behind closed doors. The three prisoners
were shortly after taken to the States
attorneys office and other men brought in
during the afternoon and evening. The
utmost secrecy was observed by every one
in authority. At II 80 tonight, seven men
are lin the states attorneys Office, .pre-
sumably undergoing examination. At last
Attorney Willis came out, and..a score of re
porters elected the statement made by the
states attorney early in the evening that
absolutely 70 information would be given
out till tomorrow.

STANDARD DOLLARS.
A Statement by the Treasury
Department on them.
KNIGHTS GRAND ENCAMPMENT-
The Ceremonial is not Changed Catholic
Priests are Charged with the Murder
of Two Students.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA statement pre-
pared at the treasury department shows
the total amount of standard silver dollars
in tue treasury against which certificates
may be issued is S5,O76, III, of a total coin
age of S241, 1919, $50 silver dollars. There are
in circulation S277, 1888, 1862 Of certificates.
The amount of standard dollars in
circulation is SIS, 373, 317, and the amount
of silver certificates is So, So, $50. The
gradual decrease of the silver balance is
being urged upon the administration as an
argument in favor of an increase in the
coinage of silver dollars to a maximum
limit of S4,0O0000 per month. Under The
present maximum limit 100000 are only
coined.
1t is rumored that the cabinet meeting
today considered the proposition to in
crease the coinage of silver dollars, but
Secretary Window said this afternoon
there was no foundation for such rumor
as the silver question was not even
mentioned at the meeting 1t was explained
by another official of the department
that the decrease in the silver balance is
due to the recent demand for notes Of
small denominations for use in the regular
fall trade, but as the demand has been
fully met, there is now every reason to
expect reaction. which VIII naturally

international Maritime Conference.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE delegates to
the International Maritime conference are
beginning to arrive. The first to report
was Captain a. M. Bisbee, delegate from
China. He is an American who has been
for many years connected with the Chinese
imperial customs service. The Chevalier
Settebrim, Italy's delegate, has reached
this country and viii be in Washington
within a day CIR two, The conference will
meet next Wednesday. Arrangements for
the formal opening have not yet been an
nounced, but it is probable that Secretary
Blaine will receive the delegates in the
diplomatic parlors of the state department.
The conference expires by limitation Janu-
airy 81, and viii probably sit out its full
term. Lieutenant Coltman, who has been
on duty at the branch photographic Office
in New York, where he has come into in
innate contact with the merchant marine
of the country, has beer designated as the
secretary of the gathering. The American
delegates, headed by Admiral Franklin,
will meet in Washington Monday for pre-
liminarV consultation.
