BISHOPS CHECKED.
Episcopal House OF Deputies Refuses to
Surrender Valued Prerogative.

Episcopal House or deputies heIuses W
Surrender Valued Prerogative.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. S.-The
house of deputies of the Episcopal
convention yesterday placed itself on
record as being unwilling to surrender
one of its most valuable prerogatives
and practically the only one that en-
ables it to hold the whip hand in pre-
venting the house of bishops from
making of itself, if it were so dis
posed, literal oligarchy.
But for the fact that it is now recog-
nized that the present debate is but an
interchange of opinions between rep
resentatives of the various dioceses and
that the old constitution is likely to re-
main the foundation of the church,
the refusal of the convention to re.
enact the clause putting into effect
within three days all legislation con-
cerning which the bishops had made
no sign might be fraught with grave
consequences to the church. This
clause, which was omitted from the
new revision, enables the house OF
bishops to indefinitely kill by failure
to act, all matters with which it may
not be in accord. The result would be
to make the lower, or representative
house, little more than spoke in the
wheel of the church.

packed the court room, he stood fire
of questions from District Attorney

break him down, with imperturbable
GOODNESS. His quickness Of wit and
adroitness were shown dozen times
He went over the ground OF his direct
testimony and entered into the details
of his movements in the church on the
day of the murder without deviating
any in plausibility. Tire croSs-eXam-
ination began with the time that Dur
rant first met Blanche Lamont. This

said he took her to ride on street car
twice and thrice he accompanied her
to other places. These were the only
times he had ever been out with her.
He emphatically reiterated his state
ment that after she left the car at her
school he never saw her again, dead or
alive.
The district attorney went back to
the statement of Janitor Sademan, OF
Emmanuel church, that he had seen
Durrant at the ferry on the afternoon
of the Minnie Williams murder and
that Dur1ant had then said he was
waiting to see if Miss Lamont would

The Arrival of an American Gunboat Pre-

II
vented u Massacre of Missionaries.
New YORK, Oct. S-Rev. Thomas L.
BOYLE returned to his home in Pater-
son few days ago after an absence OF
six months in China, whittier he went
as a missionary. At the very begin
ming his labors were interrupted by
sickness, followed by other dangers.
He left China in almost a dying con-
dition, but is recovering hishealth. In
relating the experience of the Chris
tians in China he said: We were in
Wuhu when orders came for the mas
sacre. According to these orders the
massacres were to have begun in Wuhu
and we were to have been the first
victims. The orders came on Tuesday
to the effect that all the foreigners
were to be put to death and the natives
at once proceeded to erect a theater.
Whenever any such work is to be
done a theater is first built and a per-
formance given. The performance is
of such a nature as to work the audi
tors up TO the highest pitch OF excite
ment, when they are ready to commit
all kinds of crimes. Fortunately for
us an American gunboat happened to
come up the river There were alto
gether twenty-seven missionaries in
Wuhu, there being nineteen in the
house where l was located. We each
received from the British consul rife
and $50 rounds of ammunition. The
women of the party were armed with
revolvers The presence of the gun
boat, however, prevented. When left
the governor of the place said that he
could not prevent the massacre. Rev
Boyle said he believed the orders fol
the massacre of the Christians came
from Picking.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9.--The repNb-

heaviest defeat in the history of the
city in the municipal election yester-
day. Thomas Taggart, democrat, is
elected mayor by alSout 1000 plurality
and the rest of the democratic ticket
by about 5000. Two years ago the re-
publicans carried the city by 3,1O0 and
last year the city went republican by
2.479 on the state ticket. The main
causes are that the present administra-
ton has aroused the enmity of the
voters by its rigid enforcement of the
liquor laws.
