WASHINGTON Cry, Nov. 20-The contest be-
tween rival cities for securing the national Re-
publican convention was actively begun this
morning when the delegation from Omaha
opened Headquarters here. The Omaha delega-
ton is the first to reach the city as a BODY. al
though the vanguard OF workers for some other
cities were already in the field. The Minneap-
oils delegation arrived in the afternoon,
strengthened by the addition of FIVE members
from ST. Paul, and have begun hard work in
preparation for next weeks struggle.
The headquarters OF the Pacific coast delega-
tion were also opened today, and vigorous work
began. Cincinnati and New York city are also

IoSpoy, Nov. 0.-lAssociated Press,
Copyrighted. 1901 THE Libersl leaders
have decided 10 incorporate in the plat
form approved at the Newcastle confer
ence an English tenants rights bill. This
decision is one of the most important steps
the chiefs of the party have ever TAKEN
The question of ameliorating the position
Of the British farmers has long been recog-
nized as ripening toward Liberal legisla-
ton. This resolution has been hastened
by the movement of the Conseva-
tives in the same direction since the
great Liberal victory at South Motion.
The history of the Conservative party
presents no change more surprising than
that which has occurred on the English
land question under the dread OF what
would happen TO the landlords interests
through an uprising of laborers and farm
ers under the Liberal banners.
The tenor of opinion of leading Con-
servatives at the Carlton Club Wednesday
was that the laborer must have power to
acquire small plats of land cheap
ly and through simple method,
and the state must also assist farmers to
become owners after certain number OF
years without paying more than customary
rents. This has been communicated to
Lord Salisbury, and with an additional
appeal from the party agents TO the effect
that if English land legislation shall pre-
cede everything else nc the next session
and n measure be presented acceptable to
the agricultural interests, triumph instead
of disaster will be the result of the governs
ment's appeal to the country.

JUDGE ALLYN CALLED DOWN.
Sharp Criticism by supreme Court in
EeYersing Iudcneni of a Casa.

Reversing Judgment of Case.
OLYMPIA, Nov 20-(SpeeiaL THE supreme
court today reversed the judgment in the Pierce
county case of the state VS. C. S. Jones.
The defendant was convicted of the
crime OF grand larceny, sentenced there
for and imprisoned in the penitentiary.
He was returned to the Pierce county
Jail on a writ of habeas corpus, issued because
he had been incarcerated in the penitentiary
pending appeal. The Judgment is reversed be-
cause OF glaringly erroneous instruction given
to the jury by Judge Allyn. who presided at the
trial. A portion of the testimony for the prose-
cution was given by persons who were accom-
plices in the commission of the crime charged.
Counsel for the defense asked the court to in
struct the jury that the testimony OF accom-
plices would not warrant a conviction unless
corroborated by facts tending TO connect the de-
fendant with the crime charged The court re-
fused TO give the instruction without a modifi-
cation. The modified instruction given was to
the effect that under the laws of this state the
old distinction between principal offender and
an accessory after the fact had been done away
with. With reference to this instruction the
supreme court says:
In our opinion the giving of the modification
to said instruction was clearly erroneous In
fact, the law therein stated is so glaringly in
correct that we cannot understand how the
learned judge of the court below could have
fallen into SO grIevous an error. When we first
examined the instruction IL was so clearly in
consistent with our views of the law that we
felt assured that there must be some statuatory
provision, unknown to us, which the court had
in view when it gave the same. But when we
examined the brief on the part of the respond
ent We not only failed TO find any reference to a
statute which could possibly authorize the
giving of such instructions but instead therein
we found an admission that the modification to
such instruction was not good law.
The opinion then quotes the sections of the
code on the subject of accessories, which pro-
vides that an accessory after the fact shall 5e
imprisoned only in the county Jail for a term
not more than one year. The court says that
while the effect of the sections was TO do away
with the distinction between accessories before
the fact and principals, the separate oifense of
being accessory after the fact remains in full
force, and therefore the contrary instruction
was prejudieial TO the prisoner.

Episcopal Church Congress Adjourns.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 20.-The general sub
ject of discussion at this mornings session OF
the Episcopal church congress was: "The True
Policy of Diocesan Missions" Rev. DR.. Foley,
of Williamsport, Pa, said improvement was
needed in the methods of assignment OF men.
A serious fault is in continuance OF the stipends
for years in places where there is no
possibility of spiritual or churchly
growth. Rev DR.. Nichols, of New
Haven, urged his hearers never to give up
country parishes, for he characterized the
wickedness of the country as vastly worse than
the wickedness of the city. and If country par
ish work is abandoned, then the result will in
deed be sad. Rev. Whitaker. of Philadelphia,
in the afternoon read paper on Personal Re-
ligiou," and number OF brief addresses were
made Bishop Dudley. in closing the last day s
session, referred 70 the success OF the congress
and the good work 1t accomplished, after which
the body finally adjourned.
