CANTERBURY'S ARCHBISHOP
A Confessed Believer in the Doctrine of
Evolution
Mr., Brownjohn Objects to Temples
Conservation, but the Royal Com
missioners Decline to Listen

LONDON, Dec. 22.-During the cere-
mony today of the consecraton of the
Rt. Rev. Frederick Temple, d. D.. as
archbishop of Canterbury, at Bow
church, the Rev. Mr.. Brownjohn. chap
lain of the late bishop of Bath, rose and
protested against the conservation on
the ground that DR.. Temple was a self
confessed believer in the full doctrine
of evolution and that this doctrine was
incompatible with the fidelity to the
book of common prayer and the articles
of religion
The royal commissioners declined to
hear the reverend gentleman.
The report circulated in the United
States by news agency that there was
a disorderly demonstration, hooting
and groaning, when Mr.. Brownjohn
made his protest is untrue.
After leaving the church Mr. Brown
john distributed leaflets to few persons
outside the building and the policemen
on duty made them move on, as read
ing the leaflets obstructed traffic. Other
wise there was no disturbance.

generation the detectives have been
looking up his record and have gathered
together evidence which conclusively
proves that Pope is one of the cleverest
thieves who has ever operated in this
city.

STOCKTON GAL, Sept, I.--Chairman

GomaitGee 9a~day 8eceiyed IL IastsT
from ". Pembroke OF San francisco,
in which Pembroke assured Grunsky that
great interest was being taken in the re-
gatta, and that the South End crew had
heightened its stroke and was pulling in
better form than ever. The Pioneers,
according to him, have decided to row the
race of their lives and even up old sore
with the South Ends.
The Ariel crew is in training, and Penn
broke advises the Giants of Stockton to
train faithfully if they expect to put the
nose OF their barge across the line first in
the senior barge event.
In the senior outrigger skiffs event there
will be six entries, and the veteran Penn
broke says it will be the last race he will
ever row In. William Coe of the Uni
versity of California will be one OF the
participants in the junior race for outrig
ger skiffs.
There has been some difficulty between
the committee here and that in San Fran
cisco over the placing in the programme
of the senior barge race. The committee
here want it to be the last event on the
programme, as otherwise it will draw
largely from the bicycle races at Goodwater
Grove.
The committee in Sau Francisco placed
it third ON the list of events, but it is be-
lieved that it will accede to the request of
the committee here when it learns 10 what
extent this arrangement would interfere
with the receipts at the bicycle meet.
