CONSIDERING CHURCH UNITY.
The Topic Before the Episcopal Hous
of Deputies.

The Topic Before the Episcopal House
of Deputies.
MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, October 1.-THE
subject Of church unity came to the front al
most at the opening of the session of the
Episcopal house of deputies today. A ie-
port was presented by majority Of the COM
mittee on amendments to the constitution
presenting an amendment empowering q
bishop to recognize congregations outside
the Episcopal church, and take them under
his special care, provided such congregation
subscribe to the Episcopal creed, in which:
case it need not necessarily be confirmed.
A minority report signed by six members
Of the committee was presented by Rev. J.
]. Faude of Minneapolis. The minority op-
posed the amendment because it touched the
book of common prayer, gave bishops the
right TO set aside the customs and canons
of the church, even gave a bishop power to
celebrate mass, if a congregation desired,
without confirmation. would ALLEVIATE many
from the church and had no compromising
advantages. In the mind of the minority.
the amendment, instead of being a step to-
ward church unity, was really in the direc-
ton of aggregation and not spiritual unity
The report called attention to the fact that
there had been absolutely no response to the
advances made by the church toward
laration. and that this move was
premature. Even il it passed the
minority believed that few congregations
would avail themselves of the privilege. The
whole matter was made a special order
The committee on unfinished business Of
fercd resolution for final adjournment ON
Tuesday, October 2, which was finally
adopted.
A message from the house of bishops an
nounced that that body had receded from
its opposition to the new diocese Of Mar
Quette and concurred in its erection.
The constitutional revision committee SUBJ
mitted its final report, with the exception
of the canon on marriage and divorce, which
was promised tomorrow. The report Ia
substantially the same as that already
printed. the changes being minor and ver-
bal ones. Cor orsideration of the report being
resumed, section of article l was taken
up.
Ibis precipitated the debate over tho
representation of missionary Jurisdictions
in the house.
Gov. Prince of New Mexico made a strong
speech in favor of giving the missionary
Jurisdiction representatives all the priv.
ileges of other delegates save that of
voting. He declared that the 346 clergy
men and 26,OOO communicates in the mis-
sionary jurisdictions had a right to be
heard.
An amendment was adopted giving juris-
dictions in Europe the same representations
that those in the United States have.
In the house of bishops Bishop Garsett
of northern Texas presented a memorial,
asking that the missionary jurisdiction Of
northern Texas be erected into a diocese.
The order of the day-the erection of the
missionary district Of Duluth in northern
Minnesota-was then taken up.
Gov. Prince finally won his poiEt by Q
substantially unanimous vote. The term
presiding officer of the house of bishops
was substituted for 'primate" in article l.

The line of islands lying between the Ber-

United States, and on them are probably
the only active volcanoes lying within
American territory. Much has been written

but it was supposed that all the other

eye can reach. from n point in Bering sea,
and even at distance from the famous
seal islands. the rising smoke and steam
can be seen in both directions. The erup-

the craters.
Nowhere else on the globe can such
sight be witnessed. In the daytime only
white smoke or steam is visible. AS dusk

the cold Alaskan night first, and as it gets

AS proof of the mighty power that is at

1t might DO well, therefore, to take play

Butler is not the only minor league play
er who went up hcra)ded as first magni-

Lange, Everett Decker, Stewart, Donahuc

The fact that the New Yorks had to fall
back upon an old timer, Tom Burns, to
fill the hole In the nine for which Butler
was chosen as % plug, is an evidence of the
scarcity of first class timber among the
minors. There is but one man among the
minor professional teams in the country
who is generally recognized as "surc

that is Lush of the Rochestcrs, who will

the quantity, but the quality is uncertain.
From this must be selected recruits for

GOOD PLAYERS SCARCE.
Unprecedented Condition in Base Ball World
FACTS Concerning Present Season.

The experience of Frank Butler In Ma
tional league company furnishes food for
thought. He was the star of the Southern
league. Down there his batting record was
phenomenal, being something more than
400 per cent and less than 800. 1t must
be confessed that his work for the New
York club was a disappointment, and he
lasted barely week, when an old timer
supplanted him on the nine. 1t may be
held that Butler was not fairly tried; that
he needed time to get acquainted with the
new class he joined. That may be true,
but in the five games in which he played
on the New York nine he gave no evidence
whatever of being 'up to the notch. "
Buffers physique is against him as a
batsman. He is not only short, but light
in weight. With few exceptions small men
are weak batsmen. Among the exceptions
are McGraw, Keeier SHd Duffy. But Duffy
makes up in weight what he lacks in stat
ure Take all the other leading batsmen of
