Ut. Horold, oae OF the deputies for

The scenes in the Unterhaus last night

beiabored the desks with heavy rulers and
slammed the desk lids. When a group of
Czechs advanced and endeavored to seize
the rulers ana to hold the desk lids there
was free fight for the possession of the
Ids, which were torn off and used as
weapons. The crisis IS regarded as most

UNfHERSELIS rs FAN TO RATiFY
BY Mere Technically an Important
Change in their Constitution
Is Defeated.

CHICAGO. Oct. 20.-The Universalist
convention failed to ratify the proposed
amend ment to its constitution to-day by
a mere technicaiity. The majority vote
cast was not two-thirds vote of all the
delegates in attendance. The proposition
upon which the vote was taken was reso-
luton formulated by the Boston Minis
ters' Association at its recent meeting
and presented by Rev. S. H. r bin, d D.,
of Boston. Though 1t did not contem-
plate the striking of the Winchester pro-
fession from the constitution, its adop-
tion by TWO successive biennial conven-
tlons wouli have rendered subscri ption n
10 that profession unnecessary for fe low
ship and would require assent to the fol-
lowing proposition only: "a belief in the
Fatherhood OF God spirituality ana leader
ship of his Son. Jesus Christ; trustworl hi
ness of the Bible as containing q progress
sive revelation from God, and final har.
mony Of a | souls with Coo"
The motion to ratity received 20 votes
in the affirmative and 81 votes in the
negative, but was declared lost on the
ground that the rules required not a two
thirds majority Of The voters but of the
reported delegates. AS ia delegates had
reported since the opening of the conven-
tion, a majority of 76 was required 10
adopt any measure Altering the consti-
