Bishop Dudley, chairman Of the special
commission on colored work yesterday
is agitating the members Of the Protest
ant Episcopal church convention very
much. The commission comes out openly
and clearly against the appointment of
colored bishops.
Should the report be adopted, of which
there seemed to be little if any doubt it
viii effectu0ly dispose of the question
for at least three years more. The
report states that the commission
cannot see wherein any change could
be made in the canon law Of the church
that would make the church work eifec-
tive among the colored people
AS the appointment of colored bishops
cannot be made without a change i'm the
canon law, it seems unlikely that the
eolored Episcopalians can get bishop
possible to change this canon law, despite
the unfavorable report, but it is not be-
lieved that this will be done.
The report goes on to recite the gen
eral work of the commission among the
colored missions and concludes with a
resolution to the board of missions that
lillo NNAAlAAeoANAA bt Uub MtIt-
after to consist only of the southern
bishops of the church who best know the
needs and wants Of the negro. At pres
ent the commission is composed of
bishops, ministers and laymen ch h)sen
from every section of the country.
The special committee OF bishops on
the Columbian celebration will so on
holding a meeting and arrange pro-
gram of religious exercises for the cele-
bration on October 81 AS the conven-
tion will still be in session here, these ex-
ercises will be held in this city. They will
be elaborate and interesting.
The triennial sermon of the cOnven-
tion will be preached at Emmanuel
church tomorrow evening by Bishop Cox,
of Western New York. His subject will
be "The Growth of Christianity in this
Country Since its Discovery by Co

Van Horne, of the Canadian Pacific rail
road, has returned from England, after
arranging for fast trans Atlantic
steamship service.
1T will, said Mr.. Van Horne, "be a

preclude the carriage of pound Of
freight. The steamers will run in con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific rail-
road across the continent They will
cross from land to land in one hour less
than three days and land passengers at
Quebec in FIVE.
We will therefore be able TO take a
great deal of American travel away from
New York, in fact we must do so. They
will see the advantage of using our fast
line OF steamers and through line OF rail
way when we show them that we can
land Chicago ocean voyager at his own

Mr. President, If high prices are in.
iurious TO the community at large
and low prices are beneficial, as is now
admitted by the argument of the scna-
tor, then everything which interferes
with and arrests the natural tendency
towards a decline in prices of commodi-
ties and a rise in the wages Of labor,
everything which tends TO make 10
harder and more expensive for the masses
of the people TO live whether it be n war,
a pestilence, famine. or protective
tariff act, is a public calamity, to be de
plored by every friend of his kind.
MY purpose here today is TO show
that the tariff act of 1890 did in fact in
terfere with this natural tendency to-
wards a decline in the prices of commOdi-
ties and a rise in the rates Of wages ,
that it did in fact make il harder and
more expensive for the masses Of the
