HE DEFIEs9 THE BISHOP.
A Vicar Gives the Bishop One Minute
TO Decide what He VIII DO.

From the New York Sun.
London. April S.-The whole Church OF
England has been Mortified this week by
the action OF vicar, who has dared to
defy his bishop before the congregation.
The Bishop of Norwich attended the an
nual confirmation service at Gorleston
church. When he emerged from the yes
try with the clergy and choir and entered
the chancel he observed lighted candles
on the altar and asked the vicar, the Rev.
Mr. Forbes Phillips, to remove them. The
vicar CURLY declined, and asserted his su-
preme authority IN his own church. The
following colloquy occurred:
BISHOP shall not proceed with the SER
vice unless the lights are removed.
sVicar-YOu may please yourself, but the
lights shall remain.
The bishop directed two church wardens
to extinguish the candles, but these Off
Gals ranged themselves on the side Of
the vicar, and one Of them declared that
I'VE are not the servants Of the bishop
and have no authority beyond the altar
rails"
Bishop-I have great objection 10 lighted
candles on the altar In the daytime. and
probably the congregation shares my
views.
Vicar-I invite any such to declare them
selves.
Bishop-I shall not conduct the service
Vicar Caking out his watch)--f shall
give you one minute 10 make up your
mind and n you then still refuse shall
conduct the service then myself, ascend
the pulpit, and declare the candidates
members Of the Church OF England,
throwing upon you the responsibility Of
rejecting them afterwards.
Before the minute had elapsed the
bishop elected, as he said, for the sake Of
peace and TO spare the feelings Of the
congregation. 70 proceed with the service.
Now the ecclesiastical world Is wondering
what viii happen 20 the vicar.

THE PORTER-COLLTS DISPUTE.

General Horace Porter and General c. II. T.
Coils are lighting the battle of Gunneys Station
over again On May q, 1864, when II originally
occurred they the SIDE but in the
present affair they are opponents. Their disagree
ment had its origin In General Porter's article In
THE Century" for February, "Campaigning with
Grant" In this he said: 1t promptly de-
cided TO order the regiment Of infantry commanded
bv Colonel c. H. T. Coils which served General
Meades headquarters guard. to make a dash
across the stream and endeavor to drive the enemy
from his position the opposite bank. This
was promptly and calamity done"
General Coils takes exception to statement in
the article that General Porter discovered the
enemy. and thus marshals his conclusions:
First-No member of the STATS Of Generals Grant
or Meade was present anywhere near me when
the enemy intercepted and engaged my command
Second-The enemy discovered by the troops
of my brigade and by them only Third ore
was present who had any authority 10 give me a
command and no one did give me any command
Fourth-No member OF the stats or Generals Grant
or Meade knew what the trouble in our 'front.' was
until II was all over Fifth-If am mistaken and
General Porter Is correct, then the thanks ! re.
ceiyed upon the field from both Generals Grant
and Meade were due to him and not 10 me, ana
they did him a great injustice.
General Coils furthermore quotes letter written
bv General Porter March 81 1891 and now in pos
session of the Loyal Legion In which the writer
savs. when we reached the station II was
learned that Colonel Coils had found the bridge

neither Mr. Bryan nor any other Democratic
leader ventured to make any sort OF fight on the
tariff issue. Throughout the campaign they Writ
ually confessed that on that question they had
no hope and their party could not unite Since
they were whipped. some, with Mr. Bryan him
self, have tried to get back into harmony with
the Free Trade element, but they find painful
lack of zeal on the subject among the great body
of Democratic voters. For on this issue also
great proportion of the Democratic voters have
merely stood by their party many not knowing
nor caring what its declarations meant. while
many more, especially in manufacturing States,
clearly understood that such declarations were
wrong and dangerous, but had faith that no real
mischief would ever be done. Considering that
a large share Of the men Of sincere Free Trade
convictions followed Mr. Cleveland, 1t Is plain
enough that this issue also fails to unite. So
to-day half the Democrats in Congress are anx-
ious to have the Republicans pass strong
Protective tariff, because they know their party
Ia doomed to defeat as long as that question Is
foremost, and hope that its settlement may
leave room for silver and other issues
