Another View.

Bishop Potter declined to be interviewed.
western bishop who was on the Potter
side stated:
THE action of the house of bishops had
in it nothing unusual in legislative bodies
An amendment to a certain canon passed
the other day by a very narrow majority,
one vote, and was incorporated into the
canon, but when the canon came to be
voted on whole, the house rejected the
canon by a vote almost as narrow, partly
because of the absence of certain persons.
and partly because certain others preferred
the old law to the amended canon The
Motive for such preference was probably
that tHose who expressed it elected to
leave the canon law of the Episcopal church
as IT is rather than concur in alterations OF
it, which did not go as far as they desired.
The effect Of this action, of course is to
leave the canon without the safeguard of
requiring the decree of court as evidence
of the just ground of divorce.
"0f course. however, those who were op-
posed to divorce under any circumstances
could not concur in this amendment be-
which they believed under any circum-
stances, not permissible. AS result no
further action as to divorce is likely TO be
taken by the convention, and the difficulties
in the way of divorced persons seeking re-
marriage, instead of being increased, as de-
sired by the bishop of New York, are like
ly to remain no greater than at present"
The convention has appointed Rev. DR..
Samuel Hart, secretary of the house OF
bishops, historiographer to succeed Bishop
Perry of Iowa, deceased.

REBELS VICTORIOUS.
Fifteen Hundred Chinese Troops Slail
and Bodies Thrown In River.

Fifteen Hundred Chinese Troops Slain
and Bodies Thrown In River.
San Francisco. Aug. 23.-News has
just reached here from the Orient that
early in July there was battle between
the rebels at WI Chow and the imperial
Chinese troops, in which the former
were victorious. Over 1000 of the
troops were slain, and their bodies
thrown into the river. The Do Sing.
under Captain Tholeman, was engaged
to take about 1000 Chinese troops to
the scene of the rebellion.
From the time the Do Sing left Can
ton until she reached WI Chow, 200
miles up the river, Captain Tholeman
had trouble with his crew, the Chinese
sympathizing with the rebels. One, a
comprador, began melting them to mu-
tiny, and the captain alleges that in
self-defense he was compelled to shoot
the man. The compIador died from
his wound the next day.
Captain Tholeman was placed Under
arrest, and as soon as opportunity af-
forded was sent down the river to Can
ton. On his journey he was confined
in an iron cage, and on arrival was
placed in the British Jail.
On account of the claim of American
citizenship made by Tholeman, there
is bitter feeling against all Amerl-
cans in that district.
