The Episcopal Convention.

BALTIMORE, Oct. THE Protestant
Episcopal convention today resumed re-
vision Of the prayer book. After time
it laid the matter aside to listen to the
Central missionary board. Several mis-
sionary addresses were then read, the first
from Bishop Nichols, describing his mis-
sion on the Pacific coast. He said that
when he first went there he expected to
find nothing but people STEPPED in vice
and sin, but he was glad to find that the
young men of the West had not forgotten
their God.
BY unanimous consent of the house the
bishop of Kentucky offered resolution to
give the several missionaries supreme power
in their dioceses; carried. missionary
address by Bishop Garrett requested
young men to leave their homes and come
with him to preach the word of God in
Texas. Bishop Talbot, of Idaho and
Wyoming, also spoke.
At the afternoon session the missionary
addresses were resumed. Bishop Whip
pie, of Minnesota, spoke at length of his
work among the Indians. Bishop Whit
aker, Of Pennsylvania, gave his views on
work among the blacks and the import
ance of enlistIng more missionaries in the
conduct of work so we'll organized. He
concluded by reading a note from the
African chief to the Archbishop of
Canterbury. 1t was as follows: "Mr.
Archbishop, send US more gospel and less
rum"

The Board of Foreign Missions.

CHICAGO, Oct. THE American board OF
commissioners for foreign missions reconvened
this morning The tellers reported the election
OF the entire ticket for the officers voted on last
night Then the battle between the conserva-
tiyes and liberals began. Rev. DR.. Storre, wh0
had been elected president, arose and said he
was unwilling to accept Office until the board
had defined its position on the terms under
which missionaries will be sent abroad. Act
ing under the rules made at the meetings at
New York and Minneapolis, the board had felt
IL was not justified in sending ont young men
to teach the heathen the doctrine of probation
after death. He was willing to interpret the
rules literally and commission men who would
say that they knew nothing as to post-mortem
salvation, leaving that question 70 God, but he
could not accept the presidency If the board
was to allow mission aries to teach that kind OF
salvation.
An affirmative resolution was introduced re-
affirming ths New York and Minneapolis rules.
literally applied. In the debate on the resolu-
ton, Prof smythe. OF Andover, leader of the
liberals, declared that the rules had not been
literally interpreted. He said liberal men who
had been fitted for the ministry had
been excluded from missionary work.
The standard OF the work had been
steadily lowered for years. The mat
ter OF future work was discussed at length
by Joseph Cook and DR.. Webb, of the conserva-
tives, and DR.. Quint and Dr. Washington Glad
den, of the liberals, and Others. The resolution
was finally adopted, and DIR. Storrs accepted the
presidency After some further uniInpo,tant
business the board adjourned.

almost without exception approved of it. u

trouble in its execution. The ballot reform In

LONDON, Oct. I'm the iron and steel
trades in the north Of England there has
been fall of 2s I'D per ten in the price of

orders has compelled a reduction of wages
Of 121s per cent. The Scotch steelmakers

time and will challenge TIE masters to a
strike which involves 1860. 900 spindles.
Regarding the agricultural position, the
farm laborers in the midland counties we'll
illustrate the situation in all the counties.
The farmers there have reduced wages 6
pence per day, and men are now getting IL
shillings weekly. Many farmers have
yaid of their laborers tor she winter. The
low prices of wheat are reducing cultiva-
tors to beggary. and the agricultural de-
preston is likely to create greater public
ciamor, as the various Tnterests of the
landlords, farmers and lahsorers each have
power to sound the political trumpet. The
farmers project natioaal agricultural
conference, at which reduced rents and the
creation of land court for fixing rents
will be advocated.
The sensational reports current of the
prevalence of severe depression in COM
mercial circles and agricultural interests
OF Great Britain caused an Associated
Press representative to make special
inquiries. Officials of che labor bu-
reau stated that while. the prevail
ing depression was considerable it was
not unprecedented. Takfng the returns
of the whole of the trades unions report
ing during September. per cent. of the
number OF workmen are s.lown to be out
of employment. The report embraces
1,25O,0OO union workmen. The ship build
ing trade is worst affected, next come the
cotton, iron ana steel indrstries.
No signs of improvement in the ship
building trade are likely tG be seen for the
near future. 1t seems probable that not
less than 20 to 25 per cent. of the workmen
will soon be idle. On the Cyde the wages
of the engineers and iron founders and all
ship builders will be reduced 10 per cent.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS BOLT.
They Refuse TO Be Handed Over to the
Peoples Party.


TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. THE straight-out
Democrats who protest against fusion by
the Democratic party with the Populists at
tempted at the convention last July, when
1t was agreed to vote for the Peoples party
state ticket in return for the support of
the Peoples party for the Democratic
electoral ticket, assembled here TODAY in
small numbers. The convention was a
disappointment to the projectors. 1t was
called Tor 10 O'Clock, but the attendance
was so slim at that hour that il was de-
cided to wait till 1850, in the hope that
the morning trains would bring in more
delegates. When that time came it was
decided to attempt only preliminary or
ganization in the morning, and wait till
the afternoon trains arrived. NJ. Mitchell
called the meeting to order and intro
dueed A. A. Harris. of Fort Scott, az
chairman. At the afternoon session about
400 delegates were present.
The temporary organization was made
permanent, and then resolutions were
adopted eulogizing the Democratic ma
tionai platform and ticket, but denounc.
ing as an unparalleled political crime the
action OF the state convention of July q,
which attempted to bind the Democrats
to support the Peoples party platform, and
place the interests of the state on the
verge of material, political and moral
ruin; opposing the enactment of any
legislation tending to impair obligations
or credit, and declaring that every Demo
crat is free to exercise his individual judg-
ment in voting for state officers. A
lengthy address to the voters, of similar
character to the resolutions, was also
adopted.
C. II. Holiday, editor of the Topeka
Democrat, which paper few days ago de-
nounced fusion. made motion that
straight Democratic ticket be put in the
field. The motion was defeated however,
A central committee was elected and the
convention adjourned.
The call for this convention. after referring to
their general dissatisfaction with the Alliance
platform, said: "By the action of the fusion
convention you not only deprived of the
opportunity of directly expressing your appre-
citation of the wisdom, distinguished services
and exalted patriotism of the worthy successor
OF Jefferson and Tilden. Grover Cleveland, but
an attempt was also made to deliver you to
hostile political organic atom. which, Ii success
iul would destroy party in the state and
bring disaster and ruin to the material interests
OF our people"
