CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Oct. 1.-THE ans
nual conference of the American Woman's
Christian Missionary Society, the largest or
ganization of the Christian Church, began
here to-day. About two thousand delegates
are in attendance. The annual report of
the board showed extension of work
along all lines. In the larger cities highly
gratifying reports were reported The aues-
ton or the next place of meeting was de-
cided in short order. Everybody was for
CINCINNATI and that city was selected by a
standing vote. The selection was particu-
larly appropriate, inasmuch as the society
was organized in Cincinnati fifty years ago
President +. Il. Power, of Wasnipgtoll d
c., in his address on missions, said THE
scope OF missions involves the cultivation of
the whole field. Should we follow the lead
ings of the spirit we would take first the
cities. We shall begin to understand the
first principles of home missions when we
get down 10 solid work among the aggre-
cations of humanity. If Paul should come
10 America he would not begin to preach at
some Western or Southern crosS-road but
would move on New York or Chicago"

Bishops Opposed to Change-1wo Do

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Important ac-
ton was taken by the respective bodies of
the Episcopal Council here to-day on two
sion during the deliberations of those bodies
The house of bishops, in secret session, by
vote of 81 to "a, rejected propositions
bearing on the subject of the remarriage of
divorced persons designed to take the place
or those now in existence. The present
canonS on that subject therefore remain in
force In the house of deputies, after de-
bate which has continued for several DAYS
step in the direction of church unity was
taken. The discussion of this subject was
preciptated by the offering of an amend
ment to the constitution by the Rev Dr.
Huntington, of New York. While agreeing
with the principle of this, the deputies
finally decided to adopt a briefer amendment
onered by Mr.. Faude, of Minnesota, as fol-
lows: But provision may be made by
canon for the temporary use of other forms
and directories of worship by congregations
not already in union with this church who
are willing to accept the spiritual oversight
or the bishop of the diocese" The amend
ment, If adopted by the bishops, will go to
the dioceses for action and must be passed
Ipy the next general convention before it
becomes operative.
The bishops concurred in the action of the
house of deputies setting apart the north
ern third of Indiana as q new diocese, and
also proposed to the depuries the setting
apart of the lower third of the State as 8
missionary jurisdiction
Article of the proposed new constitu-
ton, as passed by the deputies was agreed
to, with an amendment providing for the
retroceSSiOn of territory ceded to the general
convention by diocese.

ENTIRE CREW LOST.
More Victims of the Terrible Storm
of Last Week.

New York, Dec. 4-The Nova
Scotian schooner Walleda arrived to-
day from Gonaives and reports that
during the height of the hurricane on
Nov e, in latitude 1922, longitude rs,
she sighted a dismantled schooner of
about 200 tons flying signals of dis
tress. 1t was nearly dark at the time
and her crew could be seen on the
decks, gesticulating frantically for as
sistance. The Walleda bore down on
the stranger and got close under her
lee and hailed her.
They shouted that the vessel was
sinking and asked to be taken off.
Captain Kemp told them that his
/ boats were stOye-in and useless. They
said they would come to the Walleda
in their own boats. During this time
the Walleda laid to, but found that
she was rapidly drifting to leeward
and went about on quarter tack and
after several tacks managed to cross
the bow of the wreck and again drifted
down to the leeWard position. The
! Walleda hailed again but got no
answer. In the meantime another
three-masted schooner came to her
assistance and assumed a position to
I windward of the wreck. Both of them
Z stood-by until daylight. When morn
I ing broke the wreck was seen to be
I deserted and the boats gone. 1t is sup
/ posed that the unfortunate men had
attempted to launch their boat during
| the night, which capsiZed and all
/ hands were lost.

is already recognized as a very valu-
able member OF the Democratic side Of

the Republican and Democratic eau
cuses. Just at present the Republicans
control the chairmanships OF all but
