EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Business Transacted at Yesterday
Session In Minneapolis.

Business Transacted at Yesterdays
Session In Minneapolis.
MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 9.-When the Epis-
copal deputies adjourned tonight, after
listening to more oratory than has illu-
minated any previous day of the general
convention, nine-tenths or moro of the
number were cropping in the dark, and
wondering just where they were at"
For hour after hour the debate had been
progressing on the report from the Bish-
ops designating by the title of "Primate"
the one who some day in the dim and dis
tant future might by virtue of seniority
be the head OF the church. but amend
ment after amendment had been piled
upon each other, and then dove-talled
into each other, and then the whole mass
kneaded into a big ball, upon which was
planted q substitute that covered any
thing and everything that had gone be-
fore. that the parliamentarians them
selves were bewiidered, and confusion
became confounded.
Tomorrow morning vigorous effort
will be made to sgr rec with the respective
report of She Bishops and clear the mat
ter from the calendar.
The only other important development
of the day was the reatfirmaIiOn by the
House OF the title "Bishop Coadjutor" as
q substitute for Assistant Bishop and
the receipt of message from she House
of Bishops approving the section Of Arii-
Gle of the revision providIng Tor the cre-
alton of five "Provinoes" i'll this coUn-
try, each province 10 be presided over by
AN arch bishop" The provision of the
revision is: The Bishops of each prov
ince shall arrange one of their NUN Der to
be Primate OF the province" The mes
sage will come up Tor consideration later
1t is said tonight that the Bishops have
gone through seven articles OF the consti-
tuition, while the House is still O1(the
third section of the first.
The early proceedings of the day we're
frightened by breezy contest for the To-
cation of the next convention. Dr. w.
Lawrence and Edward l.. Davis made a
plea for Boston, DIR. f., b. Spalding elo-
Quently pictured the advantages Of San
francisco and Rev. DR.. John Percival
presented New Orleans, the metropolitan
city of the South. This latter nomination
was promptly voted down, and the prize
was apparently going to Boston, when
Rev. \. w. knight OF Atlanta electrified
his hearers with a brilliant presentation
of that city, enlarging upon incidents in
its history during the past thirty years,
and insisted that the influence of the
| church was more needed in Atlanta than
| in any other city that had been named.
| When a vote was taken it was apparent
! from the shout that Mr.. knight had
! snatched victory from the apparently sue
! ceSSiul Boston at the eleventh hour, and
when a division was challenged so few OF
| the delegates rose IN opposition that the
majority was not counted.

OLD LIBERTY BELL.

Formally Placed In Charge of the At
lanta Authorities.
ATLANTA (Ga.), Oct. 9.-With the most
impressive ceremonies that have yet
marked the progress OF the Cotton States
Exposition, the historic old liberty bell
was to-day formally placed in charge OF
the Atlanta authorities. The ceremonies
took place on the broad stairs leading up
to the stately Pennsylvania building, the
hundsomest in the beautiful park and on
the most attractive site.
The day was full of incidents. some OF
them of striking character, but the most
suggestive was the declaration of sympa-
thy with the cause of Cuba, made with
dramatic effect by both Governor Atkin-
son of Georgia and Mayor Warwick OF
Philadelphia, both of whom aroused wild
enthusiasm from the great crowd tnat
heard them. Again was there dramatic
scene when Mayor Warwick, in the
course Of his brilliant Grafton, turned to
Miss Eleanor Warren Marshall, who was
on the platform, and introduced her as
the great granddaughter OF the illustrous
Supreme Court Justice, at whose funeral
the venerable relic had tolled for the last
time.
Miss Marshall is strikingly beautiful
woman. She is a brunette, very slender
and graceful, and her eyes were filled
with tears and she trem bed with emotion
as the Mayor paid her the most graceful
compliment ever paid in public to a
young woman. He eloquently thanked
Miss Marshall for the privilege of greet
ing the descendent of so lllustrious a man.
Through solid line OF people The bell
was escorted TO its resting place i'll Pied
mont Park. The procession was digni-
fled. the people enthusiastic, and the
crowd within the grounds the largest
since the opening OF the exposition.
Fully 1000 people were on hand, more
than one-third of them being children,
the public schools having closed in honor
of the bell. The special military escort
was the famous Fifth Regiment, United
States Infantry, until recently the fight
ing command of General Nelson a.
Miles. Governor Atkinson aud his staff
came next. and then came the Fifth
Regiment, Georgia National Guard, 600
strong; the Atlanta Artillery and the
Crack Governors Horse Guards. Fol-
lowing the military pageant WAS long
strlng OF open carriages. containing the
Mayors of Philadelphia and Atlanta.
Mayor Porter King of Atlanta, in a
forcible speech, formally welcomed the
bell, and Mayor Warwick and Governor
Atkinson responded.

including ex-SheriH Love, who is game
frontiersman and q dead shot. Atthe first
fire Ed Jennings fell dead on the floor,
and never uttered word. When John
Jennings was raising his revolver his
arm was pierced through, and the pistol
fell on the floor. He was shot again
through the body, but had vitality
enough left to run out OF the saloon and
up the the street 100 feet where he fell.
He is not yet dead, but cannot live until

Ex-senator Houston and ex-Sheriff
Love went to the Sherih's house and
gave themselves up.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct Last night
a party of twenty young men of the most
prominent families OF this city left for
the field, well provided with rifles and
ammunition and large quantity of pro-
visions and medicines. These young
men, who have been working quietly for
the revolution here. decided to continue
their labors in the field, as they have
been informed against by Spaniard
who was working with them at first.
Now that the Spanish Government has
begun to imprison respectable men in all
parts of the islands, many sympatt1iZers
and many who are working in the cities
are leaving to join the ranks of the In
surgents in the field, preterring to be
there rather than to run the risk of im-
prisonment.
The financial and commercial situation
of Cuba is growing worse every day, and
the Spanish merchants are much discour-
aged. There is great enthusiasm among
the Cubans. They are very hopeful, ana
| they speak of their ultimate triumph as
q certainty, while the Spaniards consider
the situation very grave. They plainly
see the victories the rebels obtain over
claims of the official reports, and they
are well aware of the sympathy that the
American people have for the cause OF
Gu ban Independence. The Cubans hope
that this sympathy sooner or later will
result in strong help to the cause.
Those who argued that the Cubans
could not be recognized as belligerents
because they needed TO have egular
Government acting, were surprised to-
learn that Government had been organ
lied and the fundamental laws of the Re-
public of Cuba were formally proclaimed.
Official confirmation of this news has
been received here, and also that the in
dependence of the island of Cuba was
formally declared on september 23d, at
Anton de Puerto Principe province. The
headquarters of the new Government
have been established in Puerto Principe
province, and a systematic Government
IL to be maintained.
On September 18th Spanish column
400 strong met party OF insurgents 800
in number, within the Iona del Cato.
They fought for an hour, the Spanish
losing Lieutenant and twenty-four SOL
diers killed anu eighty-three soldiers
wounded. The insurgents had Sergeant
and five mon killed and eleven wounded.
The Spsniards had 10 abandon their posi-
tion on top OF Iona del Cato, leaving q
quantity OF provisions which the rebels
seized.
MADRID, Oct. 9.-The Cabinet has

remaining installments will be paid in
