The Episcopal Congress Considers Sew.
eral Amendments

The Episcopal Congress Considers Sew
eral Amendments
Minneapolis, Oct. 5.-The Episcopalian
house of deputies, in committee of the
whole today took up the constitutional
revision report. f. f. Wilder, of Mime
apolis, offered an amendment to the
amendment of James s. Biddle, Of Penn
sylvania, requiring the house of bishops
to report to the house of deputies within
three days their disapprobation of any
measure. and the reasons for it. Wilder
wanted to add the words 'as long as the
house of bishops shall sit with closed
doors" This occasioned a warm and de-
cisve debate.
The committee on new dioceses report
ed, recommending the division of the do
ceses of Maryland, Kentucky and Califor-
MIA The report was adopted without de-
bate.
The committee on the standard prayer
book reported the final revision and
printing of the book of common prayer
on fine paper, and the distribution of
copies among the dioceses and prominent
institutions. A handsome vellum volume.
bound in leather and fitted in a carved
oaken box was delivered formally to the
custodian of the standard book of COM
mon prayers.
This volume, a marvel of the book bind
er's art, was put in Secretary Hutchin-
sons hands. while the house rose to it's
feet.
The counter attraction of the great all
day missionary rally at the Lyceum the
alter today was too much for the house
of bishops of the Episcopal convention,
and after transacting a little routine
business the house adjourned until Mon
day morning.
The missionary rally was well attend
ed by large and enthusiastic assem-
blage. The principal event was the ad-
dress of ex-Secretary John w. Foster. on
| the condition of the missions and the ma
| tives from Palestine to Japan. He said
| in speaking of the recent Chinese out
RACES, that a man should be chary OF
condemning without consideration. They
| were no more cruel and no more dis
| creditable to the authorities than the Wy
| oming massacre of Chinese in 1892. More
! over. the Chinese government was even
now moving for the punishment of the
| guilty parties and for the payment OF
| damages, whereas in the United States
| the guilty parties were never punished
| and the payment of damages was long de-
| layed. His statements were loudly APP
| plauded.
Addresses on the work in their several
| dioceses were made by Bishop Leonard
| of Utah. Brewer, of Montana, and Fergu-
| son, of West Africa.

CASE OF CAPTAIN GEORGE A. ARMIES
Counsel Oppose an Amended Return by
the Prose cutiou.


Washington, Oct. 5.-The case of Cap
tain George A. Armes. retired. arrested
some days ago by order of Lieutenant
General Schoheld. acting secretary of
war came up today before Judge Bradley.
Counsel for General Schofield asked per-
mission to file return amendatory of
the original return. This proposition was
combatted by Armes' counsel, but the
court decided to allow the amended return
to be filed subject to whatever action he
might see fit to take later.
1t was contended on behalf Of Armes
that as retired officer of the army he
was not under the jurisdiction of General
Schofield. as acting secretary of war. He
was however, subject to such rules and
articles Of war as applied to his condition
as retired officer 1t was contended he
could not be arrested for disrespect to
superior officer for the reason that he had
no superior officer. Counsel also stated
that 1t was his opinion that General Scho-
field knew the arrest was irregular, ana
by his amended return made an attempt
to Justify 1t on the ground that the Of
Tense was military one. and had been
committed in his presence.
The original return, he said. disclosed
no cause for arrest and an attempt had
been made to remedy this defect by offer
ing an evasive and contradictory return
as an amendment.
had been furnished Captain Armes, it was
asserted, was a fatal defect, as the regu-
lations specifically state that charges
upon which the arrest Is made must be
furnished within "a hours after the ar
rest or the accused must be released.
Chief Clerk Morrison, of the office of the
acting advocate general of the army re-
piled in behalf of General Schofeld. He
maintained that Captain Armes was a
member of the military establishment of
the United States, and had been proceed
ed against strictly according to the ar
ticles of war. Retired officers were sub
ject to the same regulations in this regard
as those on the active list. AS to giving
information to Armes of the charges
against him, 1t was sufficient that he had
been informed of them within eight days,
the military differing from the civil prac-
tice in this matter
Armes had been insubordinate.
After further argument the court adj
journed without conclusion having
been reached.

NEGRO TORTURED INCH BY INCH
A Mob of $50 Men Nreak Their Venge
ance Upon the Prisoner

Chattanooga. Tenn, Oct. 5.-Neal
Smith, the negro who committed rape
and probably murder upon the person
of Maggie Henderson at Cole City, was
taken from Jail last night by 100 men and
riddled with bullets.
Smith confessed and was then killed
In a manner unparalleled in history. At
ter being mutilated in fearful manner
by the father, William Henderson, who
subsequently cut off the negro's ears, he
was seized and held while one of the
crowd pounded his fingers. one finger at
a time, joint by joint, until his hand was
a shapeless mass of bloody jelly. This
was because in the struggle to subdue
Miss Henderson he had bitten off one of
her fingers.
Each of the men then took a turn at
shooting at him, until when he died he
must have had four or five pounds of lead
in him. He was literally shot to pieces,
and the bloody pulp, which only an
hour before had been Neal Smith, was
thrown into a hastily prepared pit of
brushwood and burned until not a scrap
of bone remained.
