THE EPISCOPALIANS
Primary Diocesan Convention to
Meet Tomorrow.
MEN TALKED OF FOR BISHOP
Parliamentary and Legal Questions
to Arise.
BISHOP
CONFERENC TONIC H T

Few religious bodies have ever met in
this city in which so much local interest
has been felt as there Is IN the gathering
of F,pis copal clergy and laymen which be-
gins its sessions tomorrow at st. Andrew 8
Church as the primary convention of the
new diocese of Washington.
The general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church which met at the New York Ave-
hue Presbyterian Church a couple of years
ago, it is true, had before it for considera-
ton the famous Briggs heresy case. which
attracted national attention, but there was
subject discussed on the floor that so
vitality affected large section of the COM
munity as the principal matter of business
that will come before the diocesan conven-
tion in the election of a bishop to preside
over the church here. Although the newest
diocese in the country, the general feeling
Is that it will not be many years before the
diocese of Washington comes to be recog-
nized one of the most important in the
United States. The establishment of the
Episcopal Cathedral in this city will lend
to its dignity, and the very fact of this city
being the capital of the nation has led
churchme generally to the feeling that
one of the ablest men in the church should
be secured to preside over the destinies Of
the new charge.
TOnfghts Conference.
The conference of the delegates to the con-
vention which will be held at Trinity Church
tonight is expected to have an important
effect upon the deliberations of the body
which meets in regular session tomorrow.
So far there has been no general interchange
of Views among the gentlemen who will
compose the convention upon the important
questions to be presented to it other than
in the way of casual conversation, brief
correspondence, or meetings of a few of the
delegates who have appeared to have made

AN INSANE MANS LETTER.


PHILADELPHIA, June 30.-The Press
will say tomorrow: Within the past few
days Philadelphia has been flooded with
copies OF a letter bearing a foreign post
mark and containing a most outrageous
attack upon Governor Hastings 1t is
learned that many copies OF this letter
have also been received in other parts Of
the State. 1t was written by Maj. William
III. Hastings, who left here last February
in peculiar manner, leaving more than
suspicion in the minds Of many of his
friends of an impaired mind To what
part of the world he had gone was for
some time unknown, but IL was finally
learned that he was in France, and subse-
quently reports confirmed the worst sus-
picions of his mental condition. The let
ter, ostensibly addressed to his brother
the Governor. but which he has appar-
emily mailed to every one whose name he
could procure, makes a demand for s23 800
claimed to be due him. The demand is ac-
companied by statements vile and inde-
cent that ii would be libelous to put them
in print, and are Of themselves sufficient
to show the diseased condition OF the mind
of the writer Among other things the
old Johnstown charges, against which the
Governor has recently secured COM
plete vindication in court, are gone over.

OUTLAWS BREAK JAIL
DESPERATE FIGHT AND ESCAPE OF
PRISONERS AT OKLAHOMA.
Vic Casey and Officer Jones Killed
and a Posse, with Bioodhounds,
Now After the Fugitiyes.

OKLAHOMA CITY. o. T, June 30.-As
a result of jail delivery at this point
at 8 o'clock this evening two people are
dead and several wounded, more or less
severely. When Jailer Carver entered the
corridor OF the Jail at the usual time to
lock the prisoners in their cells, Robert
Christian, Vic Casey and William Christian
made savage onslaught on him with
weapons which they had managed TO Sc
crete. He was struck a terrific blow over
the right eye and knocked insensible. The
prisoners dashed over his body and away
to freedom, scattering the people on the
crowded streets and keeping at bay their
pursuers with a rapid discharge of re-
voivers, which IN some manner they had
obtained.
hicle containing a man and a woman and
al the muzZle of pistol compelled them to
jump out: Almost before. they had time
TO obey his command, Chief of Police Jones
opened fire on the escaping prisoners, who
promptly returned the fire. A perfect
fusillade then took place between Christian
officer Jones were instantly killed and an
other man was shot through the leg and a
woman slightly wounded.
One of the Christians then mounted the
dead officers horse. while the. other COM
PEELED citizen toe get out of his buggy
and drove fpuously out into the country,

requisition and there is but little doubt
that the fugitiyss will be captured before

nineteen years old. He killed Deputy Mar
shall Sam Harris at Lukon. o. T.. last
summer. He would have been released on

Russia has been secretly but actively az
work, and in the event OF trouble with
Japan IS preparing 10 huri formidable

ritory which Japan has wrested from

massed at Vladivostock where the scene
is decidedly warlike. The entrance 90 the

''The massing OF these ships and troops
at Vladivostock has been secretly dAne ~by
Russia, unusual precautions having been
taken to prevent the spread OF any intelii-
gence regarding the actual force she has
quartered there. Russia's designs. of course,
cannot be told, and are purely conjectured.
but 1t is clear that if she builds railway
line south from vladivostock to the Yellow
sea her intention is tc obtain an open port
and hold it at all hazards. The whole coun-

siderably strained. but the peace element
is hoping that the tension may be relieved

PITY FOR MR.. BOLLN
EMBEzZLING TREASURER OF OMAHA
NOT TO BE PUNISHED.
The City Attorney Lrys Down a Queer
Set of Principles for Not Prose-
cutting the DefauIter.

OMAHA, Neb.,. June S0.-There is much
discussion in Omaha as TO whether or not
defaulting Treasurer Henry Bolln shall be
prosecuted. The record shows that at least
$4,000 of city funds were missing when
Bolln was deposed. AS this was made good
by bondsmen and the city lost nothing
some were for letting Belln escape further
prosecution. But most remarkable fea-
ture of the case was made public to-day,
when a letter from acting City Attorney
Cornish was printed. He boldly declared in
favor of letting Bolln off in the following
letter to Mayor George r. Bemis:
Dear Sir-In response to request for in
formation as to your legal duty I'm the mat
ter OF Henry Boiln, city treasurer, permit
me TO state that powers conferred on a
Mayor and penalties provided by law are
intended to subserve 4 useful purpose and
not as a means Of persecution. That Bolln
has violated the law is beyond question. Ii
should also be remembered that Bolln has
lived in this city for thirty years; that up to
two months ago no man had a better repu-
a better record in the performance of his
official duties than Bolln. IL a reputation is
to avail anything, Ii ought to be in cir
lost his reputation ard his record in office
during several terms past is sullied, his
property is all turned over to his bonds
men, his means of livelihood are suddenly
cut off. and his sufferings are such as but
few endure; TO attempt further punish
ment would look mlse like persecution
rfan the performance. ol duty. -
You should cndeavor to disregard the
harangue in the City Council and the para
graphs in the newspapers. all of which are
so evidently intended to work up senti-
ment favorable to various political move
ments this coming fall.
I'm the case of Henry Bolln there are a
number of extenuating circumstances.
There is no evidence thus far that any rec
ord has been mutilated or falsified in the
least The shortage of that Office appeared
in the first hour Of the investigation, the
same as after thorough and complete in
vestgation There was no attempt to cover
or hide a single act. Had Bolln intended to
steal there would have been attempts to
cover and conceal all of which are lacking
in this case. Had such been his intention
there is no reason why his shortage should
not have gone up into the hundreds of
thousands. 1t is evident that not only the
city will not lose dollar, but even Bolln's
bondsmen are not likely TO lose a dollar
in this matter. And do not think Bolln
should be further punished
No steps have yet been taken to arrest
Dolln. If one warrant is issued, many
others must be, for many politicians are
guilty of participating in the DEAL.

WICHITA, Kan, June 30.-Editor Isen-

caused the death Of Register Patterson, OF

which he says: II shall never cease to re-

senger who has been in Albany for two
days with copies OF the paper served on

verbal one that 1t would be all right TO

to Albany TO await written decision.
The warden does not expect an opinion
or an answer from his telegram until to-
morrow, and it therefore is reasonable to
believe that there will not be an execution
till Tuesday at the earliest.
