CHURCH UNITY DISCUSSED.
Important Question Before the Epis-
cOpaI Church Council.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-San Francisco
was to-day definitely determined upon as
the place for holding the next triennial
council of the Episcopal Church. The
House of Bishops took action in this direc-
ton yesterday and the House of Deputies
ratified the selection to-day.
Consideration of the constitution was re-
sumed 10y the deputies and Article 10 of the
revision, providing strict limitations on al
terations of the prayer book, was adopted
unanimously.
The important question of church unity
next came up on the resolution of Rev. DIR.
Huntington, of New York, extending
Article 10 so as to permit any bishop to
take under his spiritual guidance any con-
gregation accepting certain essential tenets
OF the church. The debate on the PROPOSE
ton continued throughout the afternoon
session. There was a full attendance of
delegates and filled galleries and the clos
est attention was paid to the speakers, who
included boIh clerical and lay members.
Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Texas. said they had
now come to the parting of the roads and
the first, great duty of the church was to
extend herself as widely and broadly as
possible. Chairman Morgan Dix said he
could not conscientiously change his views
or three years ago, when he opposed the
amendment He had fears as to the result
and doubt as to the practical working of
the plan. Rev. DR.. McKim, of Washington.
said the proposition was not to touch a
the contrary to make it better known, bet
er learned and more influential over the
whole land. He favored the amendment be-
cause it was the incarnation of liberty, COM
responsiveness and true Catholicity.
Inc House of Bishops temporarily nut
aside the divorce question. It's chief work
today was to agree to Encouragement of
flve OF the missionary districts in the far
West.

TWINS WED TWINS.
Both Couples So Much Alike They
Cannot BE Distinguished Between.

WILMINGTON, O.. Oct 13.-In remark
able wedding which took place at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. o. Mckee, near this
city, this evening, will be found the ground
work of a first-class comedy. Twin sisters,
Misses AIDA and Alma Mckee, welded twin
brothers. William and Frank Brindle. VIII
liam paired with AIDA and Frank with
Alma. The wedding was solemnized by Rev.
Levi Mills, of this city, and Immediately
after the ceremony a large number of guests
sat down to a fine wedding supper. The
extraordinary likeness between the twins,
pair for pair, has been the occasion of much
confusion and fun The two brothers and
the two sisters are much alike inter Sc,
that everybody but their parents long since
gave up distinguishing between them. The
brothers might as we'll look in mirror as
at each other; so also the sisters. VIII ana
Frank dress precisely alike; so also AIDA
and Alma. The Brindle twins never made
friends until they met the Mckee twins,
and vice versa. But, although the brothers
are so much alike, AIDA never mistakes
Prank for Will, or Alma Will for Frank.
So, too it may be said Frank never mis-
takes AIDA for Alma. or VIII Alma for
AIDA. The brides are daughters OF the late
Mr. and Mrs. Eli Mckee, and the husbands
the sons of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Brindle, OF
this city. The two couples will live in
large double house on Prairie avenue.

ALASKA'S HIGHEST PEAK.
1t Was Discovered by Eldridge Party
I'm 1896 and Named "McKinIey."

SEATTLE. Wash, Oct. 1S-The big Alas
kan mountain which the Eldridge geological
survey party claimed to have discovered
on a recent trip into the Sushitna river
country is the mountain discovered in 1896
by w. A. Dickey, of Seattle, and a young
man from Boston named Monks. The Ed
ridge discovery simply confirms the reports
made by Dickey and Monks. who named
the mountain Mckinley
Both men had climbed Mount Rainier and
tried to do the same with the big mountain
UP north. They were hardly at the top OF
the foothills when their glass showed them
to be higher than Mount Rainier. They re-
ported that the mountain is over 90 600 feet
high and that 1t would never be climbed.
The Indians in the vicinity of the big
mountain had never seen white man be-
fore the Dickey party visited them. Mr..
Eldridge said to-day regarding the noun
tain:
mo one of the party knows the elevation
1t will not be known for at least month
or two TO come, since all of the parties that
doubtless have had views of ii are not yet
in from the fields
THE great mountain has been seen this
season by all who have visited the Sushitna
rivera great Snow-capped peak lying IN
the forks of the river. just to the west OF
that fork known as the Chulitno, about 10
miles from its mouth and almost due north.
THE Indians Of the country commonly
speak Of il as 'Bulshaia Gouri, the 'bul-
shaia' being a Russian adjective meaning
big, and the other word, the spelling or
which am uncertain, meaning men.

The riot and bloodshed at Virden, ILL.,
should be investigated. Governor Tanner
is denounced by coal operators and others
and it seems probable that he might
have prevented bloodshed but this is by nc
means certain. The miners are undoubtedly
in the wrong, but the coal-mine operators
are in the same box. They began by arm
ing men who are not officials and placing
them on trains. Some of the mon they are
now fighting were brought to the mines
to take the places of strikers. Thus they
are largely responsible for the character
Of the miners they employ. More than
half the killed, were striking miners and
the same is true of the wounded 1t is
stated that the operators of competing
mines are primarily responsible for the
strike. If this is true, they should be pun
ished with the others.

The Sentinel is publishing in serial form
voluminous work entitled 1.-THE Fallacy
and Fraud of the Overstreet BILL The ar
ticles are much too long to read, and it is
impossible to guess what they contain, but
as an advocate of sound money, Mr.. Over

The purposes of the currency reformers
include two principal objects which are
commonly expressed in their official litera-
ture as:
l. To give to the gold standard ''the vi
talty of public law"
2. To eliminate the money question from
political issues"

this a terrible arraignment, but if every
honest man in the district can be convinced
that it is Mr.. Overstreet's position, as ii
undoubtedly is, his majority will be i'm

THE ATTORNEYS WRANGLED
No Progress Made in the Standard Oil

NEW YORK, Oct 1S.-The session of the

of the Standard Oil Company was little
more to-day than a wrangle over the pro-
duction of records and witnesses. Attorney
General Monnett had heated discussion
with Mr.. Kline. one of the Rockefeller att,

certain witnesses as Mr.. Kline had agreed.
Kline retorted that he did not keep wit

defense also failed to produce the books or

BATTLE OF JULY THIRD
FAKE REPORT ON THE DEsTRUC-
TION OF CERvERA'S FLEET.
Nothing Yet Given Out Concerning
the Findings of the Wainwright
Board-The Latter's Duties.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1s-The publication
of what purported to be the report of the
Wainwright board on the parts taken by the
respective vessels of the United States fleet
in the destruction of Cervera's squadron
caused considerable commotion in the Navy
Department In view of the fact that the
report had not reached Washington at the
date of the publication an inquiry was set
on foot by the department to ascertain.
first, whether the publications were ac-
curate, and second who was responsible for
the discourtesy involved in the publication
of an official report before it had reached
the Navy Department. Commander VAIN
wright the head of the board, arrived In
Washington yesterday and very promptly
discaimed any knowledge of the publica-
ton, stating that he had left instructions
that the report was to be transmitted by
the recorder, Lieutenant Capehart. to the
commander of the North Atlantic station.
Commodore Philip. The commodore, in
answer to an inquiry of the department. re-
turned the following dispatch directed to
Captain Crowninshield, chief of the Naviga-
ton Bureau:
II saw report of Wainwright board first
time tonight. Articles in papers to-day
manufactured by reporter entire; no word
of resemblance between the two.
Commodore Philip has not yet transmitted
the report to the department, but something
is known of it's general character and this
knowledge tends to show a misconcepton
of the functions of this board Admiral
Sampson, who appointed the board, chose
the navigators of the vessels in the fleet
that were engaged in the battle OF July 8:
He made but one eXception-in the case OF
his own flagship. the New York, refusing
to nominate member. 1t was directed to
al mr. nOS1tiOnS
vessels engaged in this action. 1t did not
exceed this instruction in any point and
it's report, outside of the repetition of the
Instructions under which it was operating
comprises very little more than chart on
which the position of the vessels are de-
fined. This chart is the result of the COM
bination of all the data contained in the
separate charts made up by the various
navigating officers of the fleet. The report
Is said to be unanimous, being signed by
the navigating officer Of the Brooklyn along
with the others. 1t draws no conclusions;
makes no deductions; and neither takes
from nor gives credit to any officer of the
American fleet from the admiral down.

Porto Ricans Doubtful.

Letter IN Leslie weekly.
While the Porto Ricans display their share
of worldly wisdom, and the Spaniards are
little better there are instances where the
true man speaks. Thus. in talking with a
leading merchant Of Ponce. asked him if
the people were really so delighted with the
new regime. well, frankly. no." he re-
Piled 1.-The mass will welcome any change,
but ii is quite d question whether we shall
gain by annexation to the United States I
have lived in America Now the Spaniards
taxed us heavily. but when they got their
money they went off and let us alone. The
custom house officers stole nearly everything
from the government. But then we have
yet to see whether American custom house
officers are any more honest. I hear things
about them that lead me to have grave
doubts. Spain knew us and we knew Spain;
there were few complaints The soldiers paid
for what they got, and always maintained
perfect discipline. Then the money question
is going to be bad for many of us here
We shall suffer dreadfully if the American
government makes our dollar worth only so
cents. It may result in good, this annexa-
ton, but We have cause for many fears. :"
The man who uttered these words is a high
ly respected citizen and speaks English
well, and understands America as well as
Spain.

THE ANTI-wAR PARTY.

The issues of the approaching congress
sional election are sufficiently defined to
show that the Democratic party intends to
oppose not only the conduct and manage
ment of the war but the policies necessary
to harvest its fruits. This is rot the first
time the party has taken this position. 1t
did so in every election that occurred during
the civil war. The Democratic state con-
ventions of 1862 attacked the conduct of the
war and Abraham Lincoln by name. 1t
was the second year of his administration
and of the war, an loft year in politics,
and they hoped to succeed. They elected only
pubicans, the party, had a clear ma
jority of twenty-five. which was large for
that time. In 1864 the Democrats adopted
the same policy. declaring the war for the
preservation of the Union to be a failure
and arraigning Mr.. Lincoln's administration
for neglect of the soldiers. The national
platform contained the following:
Resolved, That the shameful disregard of
the administration Of its duty in re-
spect to our fellow-citizens who now are,
and long have been, prisoners of war, in a
suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobation, on the score alike of public
policy and common humanity.
This was the way in which the stay-at-
home Democrats of that day. the Hen
drickses, Voorheeses, Vallandighams and
others arraigned President Lincoln for his
shameful neglect of the soldiers. The Tur-
pies the Baileys and their kind are pursu-
ing the same course to-day toward Presi-
dent Mckinley. AS the result of the DEM
ocratic policy in 1864 Mr.. Lincoln was re-
elected by an overwhelming popular major.
ity and PIP electoral votes to q for his OPP
ponent and the Democrats elected only
th.rty-five out of 1S5 members of Congress.
What are the great questions now before
the country and people? Not to mention
domestic issues, including the tariff and
money questions, both important, there are
the questions growing out of the wharf.-the
questions of national expansion in territory
and commerce. of holding and governing our
new possessions, of constructing the Mica
ragua canal, of building up our merchant
marine and of starting the Nation on its
new career of progress. The Democratic
party ignores all these and other kindred
for popular support on the contemplate
platform Of opposition to the conduct of the
war and denunciation of President Nc
Kinley. If the American people have not
refrigerated in patriotism they will answer
them as they did in 1862 and 1864.

AS with sugar, the Importation Of tobacco
during the year which ended with June 1897,
was stimulated by the certainty OF the

If, through ignorance, Mr. Bailey made
