THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
Closed With Joint Session of
the Two Houses.
1he Pastoral Letter Prepared by the
Bishops Read-It Contains Seven
Thousand Word,; Tells of the Heroic
Self Sacrifice of missionaries In China
ana Discusses ohulch Unity, Ritual
ism and Other Matters.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 22-Tbe
two houses OF the Episcopalian conven-
tion met in joint session this afternoon
IS the final act of a very busy three
weeks session. The pastoral letter
prepared by the bishops was read bv
Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island. The
documents addressed to the clergy and
iaity OF the church and contains some
seven Thousand words.
Inc bishops refer to the successful
deliberations of the convention, to the
progress in revising the constitution
ana the canons and to the need of more
syssemstlc and general contrib buttons for
the work Of the church.
A paragraph is devoted to the bero;c
seif-sacrifice of the missionaries in
China, and to a justification OF the
ch9rch's policy in keeping them there,
ana sending more to join them in the
work The fact that four new diocesea
ana Two new missionary jurisdictions
nave been created is pointed to as an
evidence OF the healthy growth of the
church at home.
In discussing church unity, the bish-
ops are not hopeful of immediate or
general results save In the spreading of
ene sentiment for unity throughout
Uhristendom. The bishops complain
tnat while the theological echools are
turning out many graduates, and candi-
dates for orders are about ga numerons
as ever, there is q lack of self-sacrific-
ing men willing to spread the faith in
foreign and heather lands.

cerned the heavyweight battle under
the original Coleman House agreement,
which was subsequently amended ct
Dallas, is thing of the past. In It's
stead has cropped up proposition to
sign new articles to fight for purse

tie here three weeks later than the date
originally agreed upon
Corbett, 1t Ia known, favors this plan,
and tits known that F1tzsimmons will
come about and agree to settlement
IL Is also thought that he will submit
TO reduction OF the purse originally
hung up by the club, and sign new ar
ticles.
Julian's proposition now is to bring
his man to Hot Springs on Ootober 80,
put his side bet OF $4,000 up in the
hands OF the referee chosen, ask Cor
pete TO do the same, and then let the
referee appoint an hour and place for
the men to meet in private.
IL this plan fails, es is likely, for

say that the men must make 1t SEQ, 900.
Ihey say that the men must meet and
that they will come together here.
just on what lines the conclusion Is
reached is not apparent, but the friends
OF the club aud fighters here are SAN
gulne OF favorable decision on the ap-
peal to the supreme court on Chancellor
Leatherman's finding in the habess
corpus case.
Equally sanguine are the members of
the citizens committee that Governor
Clarke will abide by the decision Of the
supreme court and retire grac sfully un-
der cover of q judicial ruling from that
tribunal. Then, 1t Is argued, the way is
clear.
One thing is settled, unless the mon
hight in private on October 81, the fight
will be postponed and a subseuuent
meeting arranged for the new offer of
the club OF S25, 1000.
A Bold Challenge.

can say for me that 1 now challenge the

for the $4,000 side bet and will let the
