as usual to-day with the reading or the
morning prayer, Rev. r. w. Blow. OF
Fond du Iac. officiating. The house of
deputies was called to order at 1910 a.
IN. Rev. Dr.. Hauckel. chairman of the
committee on new dIoceses, presented
report on the memorial from the mis-
siOnary diocese of Oregon asking that
it be admitted as a diocese, and that
Missionary Bishop Morris be made the
bishop of the diocese. The report
was accompanied with resolutions
that the request contained in the memo
rial be complied with, and that Oregon
be admitted as q regular diocese. Dr.
Goodwin objected that the election OF
Bishop Morris as bishop OF the diocese
was not in accordance with the c0IlStl-
tuition. Rev. DR.. Hauckel replied that
whether this were so or not, the main
question was that the diocese OF Oregon
should be admitted. If the house
pleased. the question might be divided.
but he thought this should not be done
without grave reasons. Mr. BurgWln,
lay deputy from Pittsburg, moved that
the question be divided. the vote to be
taken first on
THE ADMISSION OF OREGON
as A dioceSe. ana second on the validity
of the election of Bishop Morris. Dr.
Hauckei spoke in opposition TO this, say
ing that the adoption of the first portion
of the question would place them III the
position of having a diocese without
bishop. The objection to the conSehto1
the house to the election or bishop Nor
riS was that the memorial presented 10
the convention did not specifically state
= no hQQn C1frtn1
churches or parishes there for twelve
months preceding the election. The vote
was then taken upon the single queS-
ton whether Oregon should be adj
mitted as a diocese. and II was unan-
imOuSiy decided that 1t should be SO al
nlitted. The question then remained
whether the consent OF the convention
should be given to the election OF Bishop
Morris as bishop of Oregon. Hill Bur
win, of Pittsburg, and Rev. DR.. Good
win. of Pennsylvania, spoke in opposl-
ton to the resolution. but when IL was
voted upon it was unanimously adopted,
that Oregon is now regular diocese OF
the Protestant Episcopal churcn and

There was then presented by Rev. DIR.
Hauekel a report recommending the adj
