that Brown had assaulted man, and upon
this complaint the officer attempted the

his nomination as unwise simply because he
was entirely unfamiliar with the field to
winch 1t was proposed to send him, and alb
solutely unacquainted with the language or
the customs of the japanese people. 1t was
felt that some one possessing these attri-
butes should be selected for work OF so inn
portant character, and there was a very
decided opinion that some one of the men
who have been devotng their best efforts to
missionary work in Japan should be chosen.
After being in executive session an hour
and a half the doors We're opened. and it
was soon known that the nomination of Mr.
Hall had been defeated. 1t was impossible
10 secure the exact vote. 1t was given out,
however, that the refusal to confirm him
was due to Mr.. Halls being too old to learn
the Japanese language.
Much Business Transacted.
Anticipatory of the final adjournment to-
day, the deputies completed as much of the
unfinished business as possible at the after
noon session yesterday. Considerable time
was taken up in secret session in disposing
of the case of Rev. Junius NJ. Horner, NOM
mated by the bishops as bishop for the
missionary district of Asheville, N. C.
A telegram from Rev. Mr.. Swcpe of Ashe-
Vile was read representing that Horner
had never presided over a mission or par
ish, which led the sender to question wheth-
er he was qualified for the proposed office
1t was explained. however, that DIR. Hor-
seminary, and Rev. Mr.. Hoffman OF New
York made statement of the nominees
eminent qualities for the position, which
satisfied the deputies and the nomination
was confirmed unanimously.
The committee of marginal readings of
the Bible was, on motion of Rev Reese f.
Aisop OF Long Island, instructed to give
the authority for proposed readings intro
duced by IT in the report to the next gen.
eral convention.
Al! pending resolutions on marriage and
divorce were sent to the special committee
or thirteen appointed to consider that SUBJ
ject.
The proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition affecting suffragan bishops was re-
rerred to special committee Of i've, TO re-
port to the next convention.
Another conference report was submitted
on Article l of the constitution, and it was
aGopted The committee reported that the
dinerences between the deputies and the
bishops had been adjusted in accordance
with the sentiments of the deputies indi-
Gated In the debate during the morning

revision OF the kymnal be authorized to
pursue their work during the period inter-
ven1ng before the next convention was lost

section, ii is stated, it Is necessary to con-
vict the child before the parent can be con-

Discussion in the Senate - the Ha-

rupted to-day by Mr.. Rawlings, Of Utah.
with a speech In which he criticised
vigorously the provision embodied in the
conference report on the Indian appro-
priation bill, which acknowledges the
right of Indians TO lease mineral lands
on their reservations.
MIR. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, re-
sumed his speech in opposition to Ha-
waiian annexation, addressing the Sem
ate for about two hours. In the course
Of his argument, which was foreeful and
interesting, because he had made per
sonal investigation OF the subject, he
maintained that the harbor Of Kiska, on
the Island Of Great Kiska, owned by the
United States, would make much bet
ter coaling station for our navy than
Honolulu, as 1t was in more direct line
from this country to the Philippines than
the Hawaiian Islands, and more than
thousand miles nearer.
Mr.. McEnery, of Louisiana, to whom
Mr. Pettigrew yielded the floor before he
had concluded his speech, spoke about

luton.

stocks, which has been a feature of the
trading for some time, was lacking to-
ton than for a long time, and consplcu-
Gus advances were registered in Burling-
ton and Rock Island.
The market at intervals during the day
displayed stagnation. but prices, never
theless, forged constantly upward. Ope-
rations for arbitrage account were in
fairly large volume, and included sales Of
most of the international fayorites. The
offerings from this source, however. were
well absorbed, and the steadiness OF the
local speculation induced some purchases
for foreign account. mainly in st. Paul.
a development which has been regarded
with considerable qualification by sub
stantial interests has been the growing
expansion in railway and miscellaneous
bond operations, which in a measure re-
fleets the general healthful tone of the
country's finances. Operations in this de-
partment embraced an extensive variety
OF mortgages, with the demand cor the
