MATTER NOW BEING CONSIDERED
A Church Where Bishop SatterIee
Will Officiate.
NO DECISION ANNOUNCED

Ever since the organization of the Epe-
copal diocese of Washington a great deal of
interest has been taken among churchmen
| In the matter OF the selection of a bishops
church. When the proposed Episcopal
cathedral Is erected that will, of course be
the direct charge OF the bishop, but until
| such time 1t is expected that he will choose
some particular parish where he will Of
| ficiate.
Last spring there was some talk to the
effect that Bishop Satterlees choice would
fall upon St. Alban's Church, which is ad-
| jacent to the site of the proposed cathedral,
and at one time IT was thought that the
matter was practically settled. However
there were certain reasons which made the
cnolce OF st. Adams somewhat doubtful,
More recently the opinion has gained
ground that st. Marks Church on Capitol

mas been without a rector ever since the
resignation of Rev. A. j. Graham and ts
| the church that became involved in SO
many internal difficulties growing out of
the elections at Easter. 1895. Two factions
sprahB up ana two separate vestries were
chosen. The matter finally came into the
courts for settlement last year
Not until just before Bishop Satte-lee's
departure for Europe was harmony re-
stored in the parish ihis vas directly the
result of Bishop Satterlee's work as a
peacemaker.
1t is generally understood that the pres-
ent vestry of the church have sent an ur-
gent request to Bishop Satterlee to as
sumo the charge of that parish and he
now has the matter under consideration
AS Yet he has not make known his de-
cision, but well informed Episcopalians are
satisfied that he will accept. So many in
terests are involved that he has been in
10 hurry to commit himself
A Star reporter called at his house this
morning, but Bishop Satterlee declined TO
say whether or not he had reached a con-
clusion, on the ground that IL would not
be proper to say anything when the whole
situation might be changed at any time.
Should Pishop Satterlee decide to ac-
cept he would become the actual rector of
ST. Marks, which would also have an as
sistant rector, v no would have charge of
the parish during the bishops absence on
episcopal duties in other parts of the do
cese. The bishop would have the naming
of his assistant.

letter from State Senator Worley of Pres

j. NJ Crane Of kingwood, Preston coun-
ty, W. Va, writes that the state is going
for Mckinley. He says Col. Fitzgerald s
allusion to the Crane family voting for
Bryan is without foundation. He does not
know a single man of that name in Pres
ton county that is not republican to the
core.
A letter was received today from Con-
gre ssman Fenton of Ohio, in regard to
Col. McConville's claim that Bryan would
carry Ohio. He says Ohio Is safe for from

Democratic Managers Now Have
Money and Good Reports.
The reason for the renewed hopefulness
on the part of the democratic managers is
that they have succeeded in raising money
with which to wind up the campaign. The
sudden transition from bankruptcy to COM
parauvely easy circumstances has brought
their spirits up with a bound. The world
locks brighter to them when they feel a
little money in their pockets. Ten days
ago they wer- down in the dumps. At the

of some money, and the spirit of hope be-

1t IS privately stated that Mr.. Mclean
has come down quite handsomely, and that
the committee is no longer in danger of
not being able to meet their current obli-

Another thing which has given them

service have made glowing reports of the
success of their efforts among the laborins
classes. Late yesterday afternoon a CON

cial Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. October s. 1896.
With the state and national committees of
both parties claiming Indiana for public ef-
feet and admitting in private that the result
is very doubtful. it might be well to investi-
gate the situation in Indiana from a non
partisan standpoint.
Allen county, in the northern part of the
state, has given democratic majorities of
from 1.5o0 to 400 and is an important
part of congressional district that can be
depended on TO return democratic Con-
gresham nine times out of ten. The Ger
man vote i'm the county is about 1000. the
populiSt vote $40, and I'm the labor organZa-
tions there are about 1900 men enrolled.
The city of Fort Wayne polls about 80 per
cent of the entire vote of Allen county.
After interviewing the respective chair
men of the democratic and republican
county committees, L find. strange to say
very little conflict in the figures and opin-
ions given me. OF the 1000 German votes
which have heretofore been democratic, so
per cent will vote the republican ticket
Outside of this vote there are in the city
and county about 500 democrats who will
vote for Mckinley or Palmer. OF the 1000
labor votes the democrats fear they will
lose many because the corporations employ
ing the men tell them that if BRYAN is
elected they will have to go out of bus
iness. This labor element is usually di-
vided about equally between the two par
ties, but this year II will probably furnish
two republicans to one democrat. To offset
this democratic loss of about $500 the
managers can depend on 6I0 populist votes
I'm the county districts and about 100 silver
republicans in Fort Wayne. They claim
large accessions from the farmers in the
county, but do not give figures. The re-
publicanS have made one poll of the county
and say that the silver movement among
the farmers has been overestimated. The
fact is that nett her side knows DOsitiyely
