EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.
Two Important Matters Up for Debate at
Yesterdays Session-Attendance Dimin-

> H.
ishing.
Washington, D. c., October 19.-The
Episcopal convention attendance is be-
ginning to fall off and deputies are
leaving for home. The question Of
marriage and divorce has not yet been
considered in the House of Deputies,
and there are evidences that the House
of Bishops, after having postponed the
subject indefinitely, may reconsider
this action.
An interesting debate occurred in
the House of Deputies on a proposition
to insert a preamble in the constitu-
ton. The proposed preamble began
with a devout aspiration and affirmed
the faith of the church in the holy
Scriptures and its adherence in the
Apostles Greed and Nicene Greed.
The motion was strongly opposed on
the ground that it restricted and mini
mized the faith and doctrine of the
church. After lengthy debate, the
proposed preamble was tabled. Anoth-
er proposition for the words ''in the
name of God, Amen" as the preamble
to the constitution was adopted.
Concurrence was given to the minor
amendment made by the bishops in
the so-called Huntington amendment,
thus giving final approval to this i'm
portant step toward church unity.
A resolution was introduced and re-
ferred for final adjournment Of the
convention on the 25th inst.

God has HIS plans ana methods for hu-
man progre1S and not infrequently
they are shraSuded for the time being
in ,impenetlNble mystery. Looking
backward we tan see how the hand OF
destiny builded foreus and assigned US
tasks whose full meaning was not
apprehended even by the wisest states
men of their times. Our colonial an
cestors did not enter upon their war
origially for independence. Abraham
Lincoln did not start out to free the
slaves, but to save the Union. The
war with Spain was not OF our seeking,
and some of it's consequences may not
be to our liking Our vision is often
defective. Short sightedness is COM
mon malady, but the closer we get to
things, Or they get 20 us, the clearer
our view and the less obscure our duty.
Patriotism must be faithful as we'll as
fervent; craftsmanship must be wise as
we'll as fearleSS-nOt the craftsmanship
which will command the applause of
the hour, but the judgment of poster
ity.
'The progress of a nation can alone
be prevented by degeneration. There
must be new life and purpose or there
will be wakness and decay. There
must be broadening of thought as well
as broadening of trade. Territorial
expansion is not alone and always
necessary to national advancement.
There must be constant movement
toward a higher and nobler civiliza-
ton, a civilization that shall make its
conquests without resort to war, and
achieve its greatest victories pursuing
the arts of peace. In our present sit
uaticn, duty, and duty alone should
prescribe the boundary of our respon-
sibiIities and the scope of our under
takings.
'The final determination of our pur-
poses awaits the action of the eminent
men who are charged by the executive
with the making of the treaty of peace
and that of the Senate Of the United
States, which by our constitution, must
ratify and confirm it. We all hope and
pray that the confirmation of peace will
be as just and humane as the conduct
and consumSnation of the war. When
the work OF the treaty-makers is done,
the work of the lawmakers will begin.
The one will settle the extent of our
responsibilities; the other must provide
the legislation to meet them. The army
and navy have nobly and heroically
performed their part. May God give
the Executive and Congress wisdom to
perform theirs"

London, October 19.-Sir Michael

had opened negotiations with the pow
ers with a view of securing to the sub

of developing the respective spheres
in which each country is especially in
terested"
Regarding the Fashoda question, he
said he wished cordially to ocknowl-
edge the desire evidenced in the
speeches of Lord Rosebery and Her.
bert AsQuith, to help the government
in the matter, "a matter which might
develop to the utmost gravity"
at is impossible" he continued,
'for France to maintain that she had
political rights at Fashoda. She has
naturally and properly asked for time
to receive Major Marchand's report;
but until the contrary is proved, l de-
cline to believe that France will re-
fuse to withdraw. If she refused, the
matter would assume an aspect as
grave as is possible between two great
nations.
The government is animated by the
friendliest spirit toward France and
does not wish to infiict humiliation.
What we desire is fair treatment Our
work in Egypt is not completed. Africa
is big enough for us both-for France
in the west and ourselves in the east.
Surely we ought to be able to agree 10

ton is capable of a friendly solution,

ment They have been holding a
council all night and reports received
every hour by runners describe the
condition of affairs. Two of the old
chiefs want war, but there are others
who are trying desperately to stem
the tide of discomfort and to prevent
any conflict with the troops.
The Pillagers and other neighbor-
ing Indians of the White Earth res.
ervations claim to have many reasons
for their present outbreak, although
the direct trouble with the chief
Pillagers comes over attempts to
bring in some of the Indians to the

with liquor selling cases, Their
grievances 60 back through many
years, and there have been legislat.

one of the latest being the Nelson
law regarding the sale of the timber
on the Indian lands. However, the
Indians claimed that the method of
disposing of this was both cumber-
some and expensive and that they
were the sufferers. In regard to
serving as witnesses in an illegal
liquor selling case they claimed that
the deputy marshals left them to find
their own way home from Duluth,

mileage. This is denied By the dep

At the time of his arrest Col. Till
man was in his room at The Colum-

where he now is
He was arrested IN accordance
with the provisions of 65th article of
war, which is as follows:
"Oficers charged with crime shall
be arrested and confined in their
barracks, quarters or tents and de
pri7ed of their swords by the COM
manding officer Any officer who
leaves his confinement before he is
set at liberty by his commanding off.
Ger shall be dismissed from service. :"
Any breach of discipline is con.
sidered crime in military law, and
consequently the article covers the

man " Under each charge there are
several specifications.
The papers have been forwarded

quickly, and that in the course of a
few days the trial will be held
Col. Tillman is now at the camp,
and will not be permitted to leave
the grounds unless set at liberty by
his commanding officer In case he
does tine penalty for such is imme-
diate dismissal from service. The
article provides that the officer
charged with crime be deprived of

THIS COMES LATER.

Washington, Oct. 4-Yes esterday
the chances of Charleston seemed
"gone glimnering." Savannah was
selected as the point of embarkation
aud for the hospital site, and it was
decided that no camp would be
placed at SummervilIe. The inhu-
ences fighting for Savannah were
very strong. The Plaht system and
the Southern were for Savannah,
while Mr.. Duvall, the former busi-
ness partner of Secretary Alger. is
president OF one of the big lines CEN
tering there
It seems that after ali, however,
Charleston is not to be ignored.
Secretary Alger told Senator McLau
rin to-day thss be authorized him to
say that Charleston would be used as
we'll as Savannah He said that
Summerviile would be given bri-
gade ercampment This gladdened
the heart Of Senator McLau-in. for
he has certainly worked lndefatiga
bly, in the interest of the State, and
since Greenville. Columbia and Spar
,anburg had secured camps, be has
been peculiarly anxious that the low
er part of the State and our Chief
seaport should be recognized.
Senator McLaurin says that the ad
vantage of deep water at Charleston
is fully recognized at the department,
and that she is sure of fair share OF
the embarkation
He says that troops are almost
sure to be shipped from Port Royal.
The senator has been here for 10
days and has neglected no point that
could be turned to the advantage ol
South Carolina
Wish the advantages that Savan
nah offered, Senator McLaurin thinks
