lengthy. It said in part: "The proposed
amendment is one touching our book of
common prayer, which Is the Interpreter
and buiwark of our faith and doctrine.
This American branch of the church
catholic has wisely guarded this book by
providing that not only no one Bishop.
not even the whole House of Bishops
alone but the House OF Deputies acting
concurrently with the House of Bishops,
in two successive general conventions,
with an interval OF three years, and with
a full knowledge impaired TO the several
dioceses, shall act on all changes in this
book of common prayer. But in this
proposed amendment is provision
which annihilates time, brushes aside the
whole church in her Legislative capacity
and allows every Bishop to do at will
what it is now intended he shall do only
in certain specified emergencies. Each
Bishop would then be law unto himself.
The form of administration of the Holy
Communion, for example, would very
naturally reflect the interpretation
which each Bishop would put upon the
great sacrament. There Is nothing in
the proposed amendment which would
prevent the use. with some modifica-
tions, of the Roman MAS by Bishop
who inclined in that direction, to say
nothing OF other liturgies of forms. Such
great diversities of views incorporated
into forms or directions of worships
would not tend to the peace and har-
mony of the church, but, on the con-
trary, give rise to contentious for which
no gains of semi-converts from other re-
ligious bodies would compenate us:''
DR.. Huntington opened the debate with
a speech OF great fervor. DR.. Froude and
Alfred Mills of Newark, Nj, opposed the
proposed amendment on the grounds set
forth in tue report they had signed, and
the debate was unfinished when the
house adjourned.

violated that they might prosper to the
detriment of the rest of the State.
At o'clock Judge Duffie and Governor
Clarke emerged from the conference
room alone. and the door was immedi-
ately closed behind them. The two gen.
tlemen passed out OF the hotel and
walked down Central avenue to the Mil
waukee Hotel, where they made in-
quiries for Judge b. B. Hudgins of the
Fourteenth Judicial Circuit, who is here.
Judge Hudgins has made several speeches
against allowing the contest TO take place.
To-day it is stated that Judge Hudgins
has given his opinion that there was no
law upon the statute books to suppress it
A member of the conference states that
the Governor has agreed to leave the
whole matter with the local authorities;
that the latter have given him positive
assurance that there viii be no prize
hight, but glove contest, as indicated in
the revised articles of agreement as sent
out yesterday. The same gentleman
stated that the Governor gave him posi-
tive assurance that ii there were no laws
to prevent such contests, and II only
glove contest was contemplated, he
would not invade the city with an armed
force To prevent il.
The Governors views have undergone
somewhat OF q change, caused by more
thorough understanding of the intention
of the principals. and that not brutal
exhibition of the manly art was contem-
plated to be brought of here.
The programme is now to make a test
case by causing the arrest OF Maher and
ODonnell, who are both in near prox-
Unity TO the city. They will be placed
under bonds to keep the peace, which
they will refuse to give and go to Jail,
when a writ of habeas corpus will be
sworn out and taken before Chancellor
Leatherman for trial.

in whirlwind of speech making and
general manifestations of good feeling.
Complimentary resolutions were adopt

She Exceeds the Required Speed In a

BOsToN, Oct. 16.-The battleship In
diana was given preliminary run over
the official trial course to-day, and SO
successful was the trial that when the
boat reached the upper end of the course
Edwin S. Cramp declared that it was un-
necessary to speed her back again. The
course was from Cape Ann to Boone
Island, distance of thirty-one knots,
and was marked by six can buoys at an
equal distance apart OF 6.2 knots. The
average speed for the run was 1871.
Although the Cramps expected to do
fifteen knots easily with the boat, they
were more than pleased with the show
ing she made on the run. The tide was
running against her rather fast, and cut
off probably three-quarters of a knot.
The engines ran as smoothly as if they
had been working for months. and not
the slightest heating OF any of the cross
heads or journals was observed.
Foreign critics have declared that she
would be topheavy. Never was prophesy
more completely refuted. The Indiana,
with the heaviest weight of armor and
guns above water of any ship in the

To-Day charging Jerome X. Coulter, Dep
uty City Treasurer under Henry Bolin,
with the en- mbezzlement of 81, 900 belong

that Coulter, as Deputy Treasurer, in Oc-

receiving public funds for safe keeping,
appropriated to his own use $1,000. A
warrant was issued and placed in the
hands of the officers for service. Tele-

The actual shortage charged against
Coulter is S3l, 500. 1t ia believed That if
Coulter is brought back it can be shown
that he is responsible for almost all of
this amount, and that during most OF his
