THE EPIsCoPALIANs.

at Minneapolis, MIMI, yesterday
evening the house OF deputies and the
house of bishops, which, together,
make up the general convention of the
Episcopal Church, effected an organiza-
ton. The house of bishops was called
to order by Bishop Whipple, of Mime
sofa, who presides in the absence of
Bishop Williams, Of Connecticut.
Bishop Doans, of Albany, was elected
chairman. He takes the place Of the
presiding bishop when he wishes TO be
relieved from any of the routine busi-
ness. DR.. Samuel Hart, OF Hartford,
Conn.,, the secretary of the house, was
re elected unanimously, and he ap-
pointed several assistants.
The archbishop. of Ruperts Land
and the Bishop of Appellee were pre-
sented as the representatives of the
Canadian church, and then the Ameri-
can bishops, appearing in convention
for the first time, were introduced.
There were FIVE altogether, including
Bishop McKim, of Japan, and Bishop
Graves, of China. There was brief
religious ceremony connected with the
announcement of the death of several
bishops since the last convention,
several committees were appointed,
and then the house of bishops took
recess until to-day.
The house of deputies had rather
interesting meeting, from the fact that
the commission on revision of the
constitution made report of the con.
stitution, and asked for further time to
consider the revision of the canons.
At the request of the commission, the
report was made a special order for
to-day, and will be considered to q
finish. Rev. Morgan Dig, of New
York, was unanimously reelected pres.
ident, and Cherries L. Hutchins, of Con-
cord, Mass, secretary.
MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, Oct. 3.-The
prospect of battle royal over the dis
position to be made of the re-
vision report brought the clerical
and lay delegates to the cen
yention out in force at Gethsemane
church this morning. The revisionists
seemed determined to press for full
consideration of the rep, RI thus early
in the convention; while the ants were
disposed, as temporary expedient to
refer it to special committee of house
Q deputies in the hope that this might
result in its being indefinitely hung up.
At the outset of the session DR.. Dig
announced the committees on the state
of the church, new dioceses, canons.
prayer-book and other subjects to be
brought before the convention, which
were sufficiently numerous to give
nearly every one of the delegates work
in the future.
The deputies to the convention from the d.
ocese of Virginia who wore present at the
opening Of the convention were Re 8. ]. K.
Mason, g: W. Nelson and a. Carmichael. All
the lay deputies, Messrs. r. T. Scott, J. NJ.
earnett AMI Jos. Bryan, answered to their
names.

No FIGHT IN TExAs.-Corbett and
Fitzsimmons must find another place
than Texas in which to pull off their
fight for the proposed championship of
the world. The legislature yesterday
by vote that was practically unani-
nous in the Senate and only little
less in the House, passed the bill pro-
hibiting prize fighting, and thus ac-
complished the purpose for which the
Governor assembled them in special
session.
The bill makes prize fighting a fell
ony and imposes punishment upon
the principals for every infraction of
the law by Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for term of not less than two
and not more than five years.
Charles Campbell, business man of
San Antonio, yesterday received a tele.
gram from President Dan Stuart, of the
Florida Athletic Club, stated that if the
railroads interested in having the Cor
ett-Fitzsimmons fight take place at
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, would stand
the expense OF enlarging the bull-fght
arena at that place, he would favora-
bly, consider pulling the fight off there
if it cannot come off at Dallas.
Corbett says he is willing to fight
anywhere they say, providing, of
course, the purse is all right.
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 3.-The Senate
has passed the anti prize-fghting bill as
amended by the house yesterday. It
will be signed to-day by the governor
and take effect immediately.

ARMENIAN Notwithstanding
Olney yesterday received cablegram
from United States Minister Terrell at
Constantinople saying that on Monday
several hundred Armenians marched
on the Porte, professedly to ask redress
of grievances. The patriarch tried to
prevent it. A conflict occurred between
Armenians and police, and probably
about sixty Turks and Armenians were
killed-among others a Turkish major
and many were wounded. The Ar
menians carried pistols. Tuesday sew
eral more were killed. Last night
eighty were killed. Several hundred
were imprisoned. The Porte had no.
tice of the demonstration, which, they
say, was organized by leaders of Hun
chagist revolutionists, whom they have
captured. Much terror exists. Mr..
Terrell thinks the Port will be able to
resist fauaticism. Five hundred arrests
have been made in connection with the
recent rioting of Armenians there. The
government is greatly alarmed aud the
garrison is kept under arms.
The rioting which prevailed on
Monday was renewed Tuesday evening,
when the Softas chased and attacked
with bludgeons every Armenian they
met in the streets of the Stamboul
quarter of the city, killing fifty of them
during the night. The Sofas also at
tackled cafe in which there were
twenty Armenians and killed cyerv one
of them. The fugitive Armenians are
taking refuge in the churches. The
conduct of the Armenians in going
armed to take part in the demonstra-
ton in front of the gates of the palace
on Monday is generally condemned,
and no doubt IS now entertained that
the rioting originated in an organized
movement on the part of the Armenian
revolutionary committee.

soUrH CAROLINA CONVENTION.

At the night session of the South Carolina
constitutional convention the discussion soon
cleared the gallery of ladies. Section "a of
the article on legislative department is as
follows.
"The marriage of a white person with q
negro or mulatto, OF person who shall have
any negro blood, shall be unlawful and void. ,
Robert Smalls, the colored Congressman,
moved to add these words: "And that any
white person who lives in cohabitation with a
negro or mulatto, or person who shall have
one eighth or more of negro blood, shall be
disqualified from holding any Office of emolu-
ment or trust in this Stste and the offspring
from such living in cohabitation shall bear
the name Of tho father and shall be entitled
to inherit the same as if they were legiti-
mate"
A substitute was offered by Mr.. Cooper SIM
plY eliminating the last part legitimatizing
t 10 offspring.
1t was at once evident that the measure
had great strength. On vote on a motion
to lay the amendment on the table it was
thought by many that the friends of the
amendment had carried the day, but Vice
President Talbert ruled that the motion had
carried.
soon afterward Senator IIllman arose and
said that he had been classed as bitter ene-
my of the negro, but he wanted now to put
himself on record as his friend. He renow.
the motion made by Smalls, and reported ia
bled, but which he did not think had been
tabled by that vote.
he was called out of order. The question
having been passed upon he moved to recon
slider the vote. This was done After hours
OF argument another motion to lay the Smal's
amendment On the table WAS lost by 1O3
Before the matter was acted On finally, the
convention got tied into lot motions.
An erort 70 to eliminate the anti-dwelling
oath rom the oath taken by State Officers
and Legislatures failed, after hard fight.
james Wigg, negro, offered an amendment
to tbs osth, providing that the officer must
affirm he bad taken NO part in a lynching.
This was killed.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 8, 1895.
THOSE WHO like to shoot folly as it

THOSE WHO like to shoot folly as it
flies have now an embarrassment of
riches. The proposed interference of
this country with the affairs of Spain in
favor of a few negro and mulatto in
surrectiorists in Cuba, the prevalent
desire to give the silver mine owners a
whole dollar for every half dollars
W nth of their product, the oppt :
sltion of democratic administration
to the democratic tickets in Maryland
and Kentucky, the State and federal
means adopted to prevent prize fight,
the opposition to the election law in
Virginia-the best since the war, the
persistent attempt in various parts OF a
"iree" country to prohibit man from
taking drink when he feels like doing
SD; these and many others as gro.
tesquely absurd and ridiculous, afford
the folly shooters all the sport they
want, and enable them to select the
particular game they like best.

SECRETARY CARLISLE can go to
Massachusetts, where the democrats do
not even pretend to hope for success,
to make democratic speeches, but he
positively refuses to go to Kentucky,
his own State, where the democrats. if
united, could elect their ticket without
any difficulty, to say word in favor of
the unity and harmony of the demo-
cratic party and of the fealty of the
members of that party to Its fairly NOM
mated ticket. Indeed the wholeof the
present administration seems to have
adopted the wild idea that the sure
way to conquer is to divide.

BOTH OF the anti-Alexander's Island
and pro-St. Asaph race track newspa-
pers of Washington, that are necessarily
talking about the alleged lawlessness in
Alexandria county, oppose the wise re-
commendation of the grand jury Of
that city for the establishment of the
whipping post in the District of Colum-
bia. And yet all the lawless people in
Alexandra county come from Wash
ipgton, and a whipping post In that
city would be vastly conducive to both
their morals end their manners.

The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. Sd. A. Stuart,
president of the Florida Athletic Club,
said after the passage of the prize fight
bill last night: II have been arrang,
ing for this emergency for some days
and have three places in view to bring
off the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight, each
within convenient distance to Dallas.
I will decide on the place within the
next twenty-four hours. The fight
will be pulled off on the date adver.
tised."
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-The execu-
tive board of the Olympic Club held q
meeting last night, but under the pres
emit construction of the law of this
State, it is not likely that any bid will
be made for the fight.

TELEGRApHIC BREYITIES.

This is one of the greatest days Read
ing, Pa, has ever seen. The parade
under the auspices of the State Fire
mans Association was a magnificent
and unqualified success. 1t was a SUI
peru turnout OF the flower of the fire
fighters from nearly $50 cities ind
towns.
John Czech, alias Fish John,n 62
years old. was hanged in the Hudson
county, New Jersey, Jail this morning,
for the murder of his wife Mary. he
expressed regret for his crime, aud said
he felt sorry for his daughter. Czech
was attended by the Rev. Fathers
Smith and Haas. Czech appeared to
be on the verge of prostration, and a
constable walked on either side of him
to the gallows.
William Leonard, mill worker, last
night shot Timothy Rowley, an assist
ant roller in divers mill in Pittsburg.
Rowley is not expected to live.
William Scott, the mill-wright, was also
shot in the knee, receiving painful
wound. The shooting was for revenge,
Leonard two years ago having been
discharged from position by Rowley.
Leonard was captured after long run.
A crowd of Rowley's friends followed
and when the would-be assassin was
captured, threatened to lynch him.
A great deal of damage has been caused by
the gale which has prevailed and is still blow
ing along the British coast. Several fishing
vessels have toundered and it is feared that
their crews have been lost.

AND now Mr.. Trenholm, president
of the American Security Company of
New York, joins those who are in favor
of third term for the President, and
says ''if Congress shall fail to give nee
essary financial relief. the people will
turn to Mr.. Cleveland and demand OF
him that he remain at the head of the
government" The third term idea is
spreading, and there are many who
believe that the moneyed men of the
country, irrespective of party, will
combine and buy the nomination and
reelection of the President.

WHEN THE people people OF Texas
find that their tax bills have been in
creased, in order to pay the expense ofthe
called session of their legislature, they
will be induced to believe that it would
have been better for them if the pro-
posed prize fight between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons on Texas ground had not
been prohibited, especially as the police
authorities of Dallas could have stopped
it if SO desired by the people ofthat city.

EucHARIsTIc CONGRESS.

The bye sessions of the Eucharistic
Congress began at the Catholic Univer
sity, in Washington, at 2:9O o'clock
yesterday evening, Cardinal Gibbons
presiding, and Monsignor Satolli max
ing the opening address. The sessions
continue for three days. There are
eight papers to be read, of interest
mainly to the clergy, as they are on
doctrinal subjects.
At the afternoon session Cardinal
Gibbons read the following letter from
tne Pope:
To Our Beloved Son, James, Cardinal
Gibbons, etc:
Health and apostolic benediction.
AS we are of opinion that all manner Of
Catholic congresses should be promot-
ed always by our approval, we are like
wise resolved to bestow our special
favor on those which for their ends have
the Qualification of the divine eucharist
and, indeed, with DO slight pleasure we
have witnessed the faithful in many of
the countries of Europe assembling for
the purpose under the guidance of their
bishops; but our consolation was SUI
preme when, two years ago, we saw
them gathering from afar in Jerusalem,
and we have felt our joy greatly in
creased by those most abundant fruits
of piety which have everywhere &C
crued to the immense advantage of re-
ligion. We have learned with exceed
ing great pleasure that a eu-
charist congress, with delegates
from all of the United States
of America, is to be held in Wash
ington during the month of October;
wherefore, beloved son, we commend
your determination, and we earnestly
pray God to lead your endeavors to the
success for which you long. But what
we wish most of all, however, is that
your congress and your united prayers
may effect the result which, as you
know, we have most at heart-that is,
that all who differ from US may be
brought back to the unity of faith and
charity. Meanwhile, as pledge of our
fatherly affection, and as the harbinger
of divine gift, receive the apostolic bene-
diction, which we lovingly grant to
yourself and to all who shall take part
in the Eucharist Congress. LEO XII.
During the afternoon papers were
read by Rev. E. r. Dyer, of st. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore, on "The Place OF
the Holy Eucharist in the Divine Plan
of Salvation; by Rev. d. Mcmahon, OF
st. Thomas's Church, New York city,

sonal Life of the Priest" and by Rev.

charist and the Ministry of the Priest"
