GEORGIA's EPIscOPALIANs.
Strong Opposition to the Cathedral
Plan.

PAHn.
Atlanta, Ca, May 1.-THE Episcopal
convention of the diocese of Georgia,
which adjourned to-day has not been al
together harmonious. The delegates,
both lay and clerical, are averse to dis
cussing the situation, but do not deny
that there has been serious friction be-
tween the elements-one opposed to Bish-
op Nelson's plan of administration and
the Other side standing with him. The
trouble is on account Of the bishops de-
sire to have the cathedral plan adopted
and observed throughout the diocese.
So far as Atlanta is concerned the ca
thedral plan is strictly adhered to, but the
bishop wanted the whole state TO observe
the cathedrals jurisdiction in matters
financial, as well as spiritual.
The matter came to a head when amend
ments to the canons were offered by
friends of the bishop, looking to the es-
the state, giving the mission funds into
the hands of the cathedral board, and
making other changes.
The delegates from parishes outside of
Atlanta raised strenuous opposition on the
ground that the tendency of this plan to

one OF the lay delegates, made a vigorous
fight against these proposed new methods
while Bishop Nelson's friends, Mr.. De-
Saussure and y. ID. Harrison, of Atlanta,
and others, espoused his side of the guess
ton.
AS a result of this opposition to the bish-
ops plans, the proposed amendments
were all referred to a committe to come
up again at the next meeting, which will
