his official duties cannot grapple with such

his official duties cannot grapple with such
a vast undertaking.
But you will ask, why is the case so
urgent? l answer, because there are GER
tain features of opportunity at this juno
ture of time (well understood by many of
us). which may be lost by the delay of
even a twelvemonth. 1 answer further,
because, unless we are ready next October
to make application to the general con-
vention, we must wait another three years.
l answer, finally, because the additional en-
dowment of the Washington diocese. which
has reached the sum of nearly $4,000, will
all be forfeited unless division shall be
consummated within the year.
IF the friends of division will stead
fastly adhere to the line of action delib-
erateiy and carefully planned, and adopted
with such remarkable unanimity a year
ago, unbeguiled by any specious PROPOSE
tions to change the settlement agreed
upon, they will attain their object. But
any attempt to take up different line,
and carve out a different diocese from
that then marked out, will inevitably lead
to defeat. Division in our ranks. confusion,
disaster will be the issue of the effort to
reconsider the territorial limits then agreed
upon. They were carefully and wisely fixed
to include with the District of Columbia
TOUR OF the counties of Maryland, which,
by the natural geographical features of the
country, by existing lines of travel, and
largely by Intercourse and affiliation, be-
long to Washington. The District alone is
too small in territory and in population,
and clergy to constitute diocese by itself
And this will be the case for many years
to come. But what is of greater import
ance, that will be a complete and a more
healthful diocese which combines both
country and city parishes. The city needs
the country, and the country needs the
city. They are mutually helpful to one. an
other. Moreover, a large part of the mis-
sionary work of our diocese lies in these
counties that have been designated as part
of the dioco Sc of Washington. We do not
want to have this mission field taken away
from us. 1t is dear to us. and 1t Is a source
of blessing to our parishes. diocese of
Washington relieved of responsibility for
this missionary field would be like what
the parish of the Epiphany would be If our
mission work in South Washington were
taken from us.
1T will be hard to sever the bonds that
bind us to Maryland. We shall reluctantly
surrender our heritage in the name and
fame of this great diocese. But the pro-
gress of the church and it's complete equip
ment for it's high and responsible task
must be the paramount and controlling
considerations. Sentiment, however tender;
pride, however justitabie, must give ray
before tho imperative call of the great
Head Of the Church. saying to us. as to
Moses of old, Speak unto the children of
Israel, that they go forward"

An Interesting Experiment In n News
paper Office.
An unique and successful experiment was
made at Louisville yesterday when the AS
sccated Press telegraph news was taken
from the wire directly by a typesetting
machine operator. The introduction of the
typewriter into the telegraph business has
been a means of greatly facilitating the
transmission of the press service Of the
Associated Press, and several newspaper
men of New York, connected with the
Evening Post and the Associated Press,
have been experimenting of late with the
view to doing away with the typewriter,
and substituting therefor the linotype ma
chine. thus setting the news for the paper
directly from the wire
Yesterday morning one of the Associated
Press loops was run into the Evening Post
composing room, and B. G.. Boyle, manag-
ing editor of the Post, and Richard Cogan,
chief operator of the Associated Press, who
are both telegraph and linotype operators.
succeeded in receiving dispatches of the
Associated Press and putting them in type
directly from the wire.
The experiment shows that the telegraph
can be worked successfully with the type
setting machine, and maximum rate Of
speed of fifty words a minute attained. In
an hours work an average speed of thirty
words minute was maintained.

JOHN A. MORRIS DEAD.
The Well-knOwn Turfmnn md Pro-
prietor of the Louisiana Lottery.

The WelI-knOwn Turfmnn md Pro-
prietor of the Louisiana Lottery.
John A. Morris died at his ranch in GIL
lespie county, Texas. last evening.
The fatal attack of apopleXy was not the
first that Mr.. Morris has suffered. Fifteen
years ago, while he was seated in the Bos-
ton Club in New Orleans, he was similarly
stricken. His life was saved then by
narrow margin, and he was warned that
he must thereafter avoid all excitement
and must never indulge in stimulants.
Since that day no intoxicating liquor passed
his lips and his relaxations We're of the
mildest kind.
Morris was best known to northern turf
men as the owner of Morris Park. His
fortune is estimated at between $25,OOO,OO
and $30,OO0,OO0, the most of which he is
credited with having made from the Louis
lana lottery. He lived like a prince. main
tanning no less than nine expensive and
luxuriant establishments in this country
and in Europe.
The victories of his black sprinter, Britain
mic, first brought prominence to the stable.
Since then he and his two sons whom he
associated with himself in the ownership
of the stable. achieved great turf successes.

JAPAN WOULDN'T HELP.
Even an Offer 10 Marry the Ex-Quee
tO'a Prince Was No Temptation.

Even an Offer 10 Marry the Ex-Queen
tOa Prince Was No Temptation.
From inside diplomatic sources. says a
Yokohama correspondent of the New York
Tribune, it is learned that the Hawaiian
royalists made a desperate effort just be-
fore the last unsuccessful revolution to OBJ
tain the aid of Japan. An urgent request
was made for warship, but this was re-
fused. Then an offer of marriage of ex-
Queen Lliuokalani was made to any Japa-
nese prince whom the mikado might Sc
lect. This offer was quietly ignored. 1t
will be remembered that Kalakaua, when
he began to dream of a great South sea
confederation. sought betrothal in Japan
for Princess Kaiulana, but failed, although
the mikado took pains to send a special
diplomatic agent with his regrets. This
time he did not even send a letter. 1t is
understood that this chilling reception of
all their overtures by the Japanese has
convinced the Hawaiian royalists that they
can expect no help from the leading power
