EPISCOPALTANS.
n Joint Session Winds Up the Three
Weeks Meeting.

Minneapolis, Oct. 22.-The two houses
OF the Epicopalian convention met in Joint
session this afternoon as the final act
OF very busy three weeks session. The
PASTORAL letter prepared by the bishops
was read by Bishop Littlejohn of Long
Island, The bishops refer to the success,
tul deliberations of the convention. to the
progress of the work of revising the ac-
ton and canons and to the need of more
systematic and general contributions for
the work of the church. A paragraph is
devoted to the heroic self sacrifice of
the missionaries in China and to a iusti-
tication of the church's policy in keeping
them there and sending more to Join in
the work. The fact that four new do
ceses and two missionary jurisdictions
have been created is pointed to as an ev-
idence of the healthy growth of the
church at home.
In discussing church unity the bishops
are not hopeful of immediate or general
results except in spreading the sentiment
for unity throughout christendom.

, SENSATIONAL RUMOR.
1t is to the Effect That Olney Will Resign
From the Cabinet.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-A special dispatch to
the Interocean from Washington says;
Owing probably to the fact that Secre-
tary Olney did not go to Atlanta with the
president and party, but did leave for
Boston today, rumor is afoat tonight
and will be published tomorrow that Mr..
Olney is contemplating retirement from
the cabinet. The alleged excuse for this
is supposed disagreement between him
self and the president in regard to the for
eign policy, especially with reference to
the Venezuelan matter, in which rumor
says that Mr.. Olney favors a more vigor-
GUS course than does the president. The
rumor, however, is entirely unconfirmed,
and owing to the absence of Mr.. Olney
and President Cleveland, as well as all
members of the cabinet, it is impossible
to obtain any definite information which
will confirm or disprove it.

without jurisdiction, Mr.. Woodford pre-
sented afidavits secured by himself from
numerous persons in Antananarivo to
show that Waller had not been supplying
the Hovas with arms, as was charged
He also called the attention of the sec

Some Interesting Gossip on National

1t is most unfortunate for the United
States that purely international questions
are with us made the footballs for par
tisan contentious and, indeed, that they
are frequently made use of to divert the
attention of the electors away from Ma
tional or local questions of Importance.
The country is on the eve of general
election. Issues other than those claim
ing public attention are needed for va
rious party and personal reasons and re-
quirements. These are easily found in
some international contention, generally
a necessary stalking horse" for purely
always dragged into notice which in the

just at the present time two interna-
tional questions present themselves, and,
most handily, to the minds of our polit-
zeal partisans with imaginations as bar
rem as regards powers of invention. One
of these is Cuban intervention, COM
paratively innocuous political dodge. The
other is the necessity of the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine as respects the
present relations of Great Britain and
Venezuela. The latter country desires
Great Britain to submit boundary dis
pute, which has been a contention be-
tween them for years, to arbitration.
Great Britain is willing to arbitrate, so
far as portion of the territory is in
volved, but has repeatedly refused to
arbitrate as to the whole thereof. Thus
the case now stands.

Meanwhile, in order to directly interest
the United States in the contention, Ven
ezuela has astutely made concessions of
portion of this disputed territory to
certain United States Incorporated COM
panies. OF course if these companies
proceed to take possession of the conces-
sions the British authorities in possess
sion of the territory will forcibly inter-
fere; then the United States will be
called on to protect their rights and thus
will be involved in actual war with Great
Britain, as we were by somewhat sim
liar scheme involved in a war with Mex
leo. a.,
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24

Possibly Mr.. Fosters bluff game"
may win, if we were careful not to bluff
too boldly. But we cannot starve Great
Britain unless by blockading her ports
while, if we cannot blockade them, we
will be raising up agricultural COMPETE
tors against ourselves the world over:
at the same time that, unless we could
send our products to the British markets
the world over, we would cause much
financial and commercial distress in this
country as it never even heard of till
then.
The fact of this whole business then,
is that this Venezuelan contention can
stand over until after election, when it
can be settled without the aid of parti-
sans working wholly for personal con-
siderations; at the same time that if these
reckless partisans do not let it alone
there may inevitably result complica-
tons of the most appalling character
Chicago Record.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24

This whole Venezuelan question, then,
resolves itself into these conclusions:
Are we likely to win our contention in
this business by playing the bluff game"
on country which one secretary says
will fight where her honor, which means
her prestige, is involved, and in which
fight we expect to win, as another sec
rotary says, for the reason that Great
Britain will not fight because she knows
we can starve her into submission?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24

This being the present condition of this
Venezuelan contention, the partizan jour-
nails, for election purposes, have COM
menced a renewed agitation thereof, the
Republicans for the purposes of forcing
the hand of the administration by taunt-
ing it to take daring and perhaps dam
gerous position upon it, the Democrats
with the intention of proving themselves
ready to support the cabinet in any posi-
ton it may take which may make it
"a good enough bargain until after cleo
ton"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24

1t is possible this circumstance which
has induced or forced our cabinet to
revert to its original idea of carrying
on the contention strictly on the theory
that Great Britain is acting in violation
of the Monroe doctrine, the author of
which was really George Canning-as l
and who, in 1922, when secretary of state
for foreign affairs in the cabinet of the
British premier, Lord Liverpool, induced
President Monroe to embody it in one of
his messages.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-10-24

This mode of settling the question does
not at present, however, appear to COM
mend itself to our government, for the
very good reason that it would logically
expose us to the charge of having made
up our minds Oh the entire question in
dispute, at the same time that we expect
to be called on as one of the arbitrators
thereto. Probably the British have con-
veyed this view of the situation to our
government by the pertinent inquiries of,
first, has the United States protecto-
rate over Venezuela? second, can coun-
try holding such protectorate act as
disinterested arbitrator? 1t will be
remembered that some time since Great
Britain offered to arbitrate, but with Il
proviso which virtually excluded the
United States from acting ON the board
of arbitration.
