AN UNFoUNDED RUAIoR.-The an
nouncement has been made that in the
event that Rev. DIR. McKim, rector OF
the Church of the Epiphany, in Wash.
ington, should be elected bishop, Rev.
DR.. Hartley Carmichael, of this city,
would be rendered a call by DR.. Nc
Kim's present congregation. Such a
statement, according to DR.. Carmichael,
is entirely without foundation.
Should the General Episcopal Con-
vention, which is to be held at Indian
apolis, Ind, in October, decide to d.
vide the present diocese of Mary
land, the present bishop would have
the right to take his choice between
the two dioceses, and he would most
likely decide in favor of the Few do
cese of Washington. This change,
however, could not take place for year
to come. 1t would then also be some
what doubtful whether DIR. McKim
would be the choice of either diocese,
and if, finally, such an offer should be
made to DR.. Carmichael, it would be
still more doubtful whether he would
decide to leave Richmond.-Richmond

constituted champions of the silver
cause, and commissiond to fight Tor II
until the last ditch was reached. There
vas another conference OF the free ell
yer men early this morning. Colonel
Isaac Trumbo, of Utah, presided and
presented resolution, which will go
into the convention and precipitate the
fight on the money question, declaring
that the republican party is unalterably
committed to the restoration of the bl-
metallic standard as it existed in this
country prior TO 1879 namely, the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at ra-
tic of l6 to 1. 3. f. McKisson, the
"hoy mayor" of Cleveland, made the
welcoming address. :,
The first delegation TO enter the hall
caused great applause. At its head was
a pretty brunette, Miss F'ronnie knowl.
ton, of Van Buren,, Ark, daughter OF
the head of the delegation. This dele
CATION was quickly followed by others
and when the convention wascafied to
order there were about four thousand
persons present, three.fourths of whom
were delegates. Every delegation wore
the badge of its State and few were so
conservative ns not to wear also badges
of either silver or gold as indicating
their choice on the currency question.
There were many colOred delegates.
Twelve delegates from Virginia were
present.
The coming fight on the silver ques
ton was foreshadowed by motion
made by II. G. Evans, of Tennessee, that
all resolutions be referred to the com
mittee on resolutions without debate.
This was adopted and the convention
adjourned until Friday morning.

AN APPEAL TO RoME.-Cardinal Gibbons
has taken to Rome the documents concerning
the Knights of Pythias societies of Fall River,
Mass, with a view to having the Pope make

largely, if not entirely, of Catholic members.
They have built up beneficial insurance sys.
tenn, the benefits Of which would be lost if
the members were compelled to obey the de.
cree to abandon the societies. IT would be
special hardship on several Catholics who
have paid large insurance premiums and are
now sick and dependent on the returns of
their investment A delegation from Fall
River laid the exceptional circumstances be-
fore Mgr. Satolli, but as the decree against
the Knights of Pythias made no exceptions,

should lay the case before the Pope.

DISPATCHES from Cleveland, Ohio,
say that the Southern delegates to the
national republican league convention,
now in session there, most OF whom
are negroes, are opposed to any e1-
preston by that convention in respect
of the silver question, and say that
question will divide the democrats Of
the South and thereby give the repub-
licans, who are the negroes, their long
desired opportunity for dominating
this section. They and their white
leaders were never more mistaken.
Silver, tariff, the Monroe doctrine, nor
any other question will divide the
white people of The South, as they well
know that such division will make them
subject to negro rule.
