THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE.
Plan to Nuke Canterbury Primate of
the World Fell Through.

London, July l7.-(Specal Gable Letter,
The proposition to confer upon the arch
bishop of Canterbury an official status as
head OF all branches OF the Episcopal
church in all parts of the world which was
one of the most interesting questions be-
fore the Lambeth conference. will come to
nothing. EngIishmen were exceedingly
eager to see the archbishop established as
primate for the church throughout the
world, but the American bishops. OF whom
there were IA in the conference. arrayed
themselves solidly against the proposal
and they had as allies several colonial
bishops.
A distinguished American ecclesast said
TO the correspondent OF the Associated
Press today: The independent church in
America would never consent to surrender
a particle of independence.
The proceedings of tho conference have
been secret and only those resolutions
which may be adopted will be published.
Secrecy is to be maintained as to all
propositions which fall as well as all dis
cussions.
A prominent participant in the confer
ence said Its most significant phase was
the prominence given TO the consideration
OF the social duties Of the church. There
seemed to be an almost unanimous opinion
that tho work OF the church properly in
clilded the solution of problems Of labor
and capital Bishop Potter made a strong
speech advocating the propriety of bishops
as arbitratorT in labor disputes"
The American bishops have been taking
a leading part In the deliberations. The
present week has been devoted TO commit

bishops time for sight seeing. which they |

London. July 17.-tspecial Cable Letter. \
A somewhat pessimistic view of the
proposed Debs collectivist settlement in
the West is taken by the Spectator. which
says
Collectiwsm hitherto has been confined
to foreigners in the United States, partic-
ularly to Germans. But the new move
ment means native collectivst party.
Such party seems TO be In process of
formation and may portend great changes
In the character of American politics. 1t
Is likely to exercise considerable influence
throughout the world, sooner or later. AS
Stunning that the project was fairly success
full collision between the colonists and
trusts would be bound TO arise
The continued despotism OF the trusts
would easily occasion combination OF
disconnected farmers with the artisan pop
ulation of the cities and the year 1900 may
see Western populist In the White House,
congress angry and determined and State
legislators everywhere west of the Missis-
sippl in complete sympathy with the revo-
intionary demands OF colectivists, who
would differ only In details from the Ger
man social democrats.
Such a situation would be bound to lead
to the employment of the Federal forces,
which. with Mr.. Bryan as president and a
democratic congress, would take the form
OF suppression of the trusts and railway
corporations With Mr., Mckinley, the In
reference would be the other way His
eagerness for Il bimetallic conference with
the leading European states shows an at
tempt TO capture the silver vote OF the
West so as to break up the forces of dis
content.
The ugly temper which is growing on
the basis of the revelations OF the tariff bill
is adding fuel to the flames. In America
action is almost always t.lsen suddenly and
1T may be but few years before great
party will become dominant, determined to
carry out the collectivist scheme, perhaps
including the State ownership OF railroads.
