EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
The Delegates in New York Discuss
Important Questions.

NEW YORK, Oct 19.--The Episcopal
convention considered routine matters
till noon and then took up liturgical re-
vision, Final adjournment is fixed for
next Thursday.
In afternoon session storm was
created by the introduction of a resolu-
ton by the bishop last night, changing
the communion service thus: "There
shall be no celebration of the Lords sup
per except there be some one to COM
mune with the priest" Dr. Huntington
at once moved that the house non
concur, saying that the proposed resolu-
ton was thoroughly pernicious. at is"
said he. precisely In line with the doc
trine of the church of Rome.n
The matter was discussed at length
and was defeated by clerical vote, the
lay delegates being clearly in favor of 1t.
The house of bishops decided not to
concur in the proposed division of Cali.
fornia, on the ground that such division
was opposed by majority of commu-
nicants in the diocese Itself, and because
there were not sufficient resources to
support such division in the new diocese.

THE WORKS AT THE LOCKS.
A Correspondent Says That Gross In
competency Prevails.

From the tenor of correspondence to
the Dallas Times. .Mountainoer regard
ing the government work in that vicin-
ity, things are run rather laxly in that
departm Says the correspondent:
1--WE took walk over the works, and
among other things we saw was a aisson,
so called, stone was cut. hole was dug,
a foundation of fine cut stone was used, ,
barrels of cement, at 50 per barrel was
used, and the whole was condemned.
Thirty.two thousand dollars sunk in the
arrangement, and now they are letting
the earth cave III upon II. As the boss
of the stone yard remarked to promi-
nent citizen the other day. They are
ashamed of the id thing and are let
ting 1t cave in to hide their work.
imagine he hit the truth about as near
that time as he ever did in his life before.
about three years ago, after they
had completed the plans for the gates,
they were confronted with the idea that
when the water rushed in IL would cause
the boat to tip up on one end, They
then endcavored to contrive a machine
which they thought would cause the
water to run the entire length of the
lock, thus raising the boat level as the
lock filed. Said machine is now back
of the canal in the woods, where il can
be seen any day. Ignorant of fact
known to any average school child
twelve years of age, viz: water will seek
its own level!
There is law stating that eight
hours shall be considered day on gov
ernment works. How well this law is
observed! Last winter the workmen
would go down into the canal cropping
their way In the dark and stumbling
over rocks and other debris In the en-
deavor to reach their destinations ,hhers
they would have to stay stamping then
feet to keep them from numbing with
the cold, or worrying around in the driz
cling rain until daylight came in. Al
night darkness came about o clock,
then would como another time OF wait
| ing, the workmen not even daring tc
take advantage of the light to put theii
tools away.
"All this time that embodiment of ig-
norance would be lowering near fearfu
lest they should cheat the government
OF q few minutes time wholly useles!

An Interesting Budget of News
Notes From Our Rockville
Correspondent.

ROCKFORD, Wash, Oct. 1s.--EDIToR
REVIEW: Our town since the compile.
tion of the railroad to Spokane seems to
be enjoying little boom in building, as
there are now under construction more
buildings than at any other time during
the year, the most notable being the
Rockford academy, costing about 5000,
and j. w. Smiths new brick block, cost
ing about $4,000 The people all seem
to have new life.
Sheldon Bros. have added to their new
mill a large addition, and when COM
pleted will place therein several roller
mills, giving, so am informed, grind.
ing capacity of $50 barrels per day.
Cocy Bros. have added to their already
large store, 40xS0 feet, two stories high,
which gives their store quite a citytied
look They have now in stock about
| $50, 900 in well selected stock of general
merchandise. their average sales are
between $500 and 1920 per day. This Is
a good showing when we have several
other large stores doing good business
in the town.
am informed the railroad company
will soon erect large elevator here and
make some alteration in their depot
grounds.
There Is quite stir over the opening
of the land to settlement purchased of
| the Cpur de Alene reservation, made by
! the Indian commission in September
Should the interior department ratify
the action of the commission, and this
land be offered for settlement, it will
make of Rockford city of ~, 200 people
/ because the large area of fine farm lands
embraced in the purchase is but short
distance from our town. OF late quite u
number have been in Rockford seeking
u location on the land, and they usually
go out and select a quarter section, and
then they will wait till the lightning
/ ticker says get there, Eli, and then
i they will get there sure enough. There
are thousands of acres to be settled,
| that at a low figure is worth $40 per
acre. In fact some of the finest farm
lands in Washington.
Hon. A. X. Clark Is preparing himself
for the coming session of the Legislature.
He Is ambitious and hard worker and
his admirers predict for him clean
record.
a man, unknown, about six miles
west of town, had the misfortune to
break his leg last Wednesday.
Mr. Post, who fell from the trestle
near town two months ago, and broke
both arms, is able to get around town
again. ,.,
Don't let 1t escape your memory that
Rockford is one OF the healthiest towns
in the territory.
Our city dads have about settled up
with J. G.. West & Co. for the street
grade and we have two beautiful streets.
The ten-foot sidewalk on each side is al
most complete and, with our new street
lamps, the town looms up at night inn
mensely.
A lady came to Rockford this week
from Kansas, looking for man to marry.
She found him and they did the proper
thing by going to Spokane Falls and hav-
ing the knot tied.
There was also pretty little woman
named Corbett here, looking for her hus-
band, who had got hurt some way. She
was unsuccessful, as no one knew OF
him.
The nimrods report deer plentiful in
the timber. J. B. L.

NEW YORK RESERVES.
lAmerican Bankcr.l

lAmefican bankcr'l
The bank statement OF last Saturday
(Oct. 81 showed that the total reserve Of
the New York city clearing house banks
was 81 ,66s,O5 below the 25 per cent re-
quiremcnt provided by the national bank
law. An analysis of the full statement
however, shows that the net deficiency
was attributed to the state banks In tho
association and these arc not subject
TO the above recruitment. About nine
teen of the national banks had permitted
their resources tossink below the legal
limit. This is the first time since May
"a, 1884, that the bank statement shows
deficiency. The demands for money
In the West and South appear to have
tried the resources of the banks with
great vigor. An erratic shipment of
gold, defensible on no commercial
grounds, aggravated the situation. But
The shipment of currency to the West,
for the purpose oflmoving the crops, Is q
natural and wholesome feature OF bank
operations aud:the Western requirements
were principally responsible for the do
pletion of tho reserves. The banks VIII
