Will BE the NRtiona' Episcopal Convoea-
tiou at Minneapolis In October.
ST.. PAUL, April 8.-The Dispatch
says: An event Of more than local sig
niticance, and one to which all CHURCH
men" are looking forward to with great
interest is the general convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal church Of the
United States, which win open in Min
neapolis on tho first Wednesday in Oc.
tober, and continue for three weeks.
This convention is held once in three
years, and this is the first time it has
ever come as far west rs this. Only
twice before has it come west Of the
Alleghenies, the last meeting being held
in Baltimore in 1892.
A Remarkable Convention.
The convention, Bishop Gilbert says,
will be remarkable not only on account
Of it's numbers but on account Of the
representative character of those who
viii attend it. There will be about IS
bishops in attendance, representing the
entire episcopate of the Unl,ei States.
The presiding bishop Is the bishop OF
Connecticut, Bishop Williams, man
now II years OF age, OF commanding
talents and a worldwide reputation.
Other prominent bishops will be Bish-
ops Potter OF New York, Doane Of
Albany, Cleveland Cox of Buffalo,
!, Lawrence Of Massachusetts,, Whitaker
off n lst,aniia III Kentucky.
McLaren 81 Chicago, and Tuttle Of st.
Louis.
Divided Into Two bodies.
The general convention is divided
into two bodies-the house Of bishops
and the house Of clerical and lay dep
uties. Many of these delegates are men
of national reputation. There are DR..
Huntington and Morgan Dix Of New
York, McVickers of Philadelphia, DR..
Eccleston o. Baltimore, and many 9th
ers equally we'll known. Among the
lay delegates there will be Chief Justice
Fuller, Judge Bancroft Davis Of WASH
ington, and Pierpont Morgan, the New
York banker. There will be between
400 and 500 regular delegates but many
others will be in attendance. The ses-
sions will be held in the Gethsemane
church
A Revised Constitution.
Among the questions which will be
considered at this meeting is the revi-
sion Of the constitution Of the church.
At the last general meeting a commit
tee was appointed to draft revised
constitution, to be discussed ut this next
conference. One proposed change looks
to tho division of tn, church into
provinces, grouping of number of
dioceses under one provincial head.
Another provision is that hereafter the
presiding bishop shall be known as
primus, and shall be elected by the
house Of bishops, instead of being given
the position by virtue Of being senior
bishop.
New Missionary Bishops.
In addition to this revision Of the
constitution number of new mission
ary bishops are to be elected. Besidea
this general meeting there will be con-
ventions of several auxiliary societies,
such as the woman's auxiliary to the
board of bishops, which holds its ses-
sions in Christ church in this city.
There will also be a meeting Of the
Sunday school institute. These two
