BISHOP PERRY'S SUCCESSOR
Iowa Churches to Meet at Davenport to Cast
Their Votes,
WHAT THE LOCAL CHURCHES MAY CAST
st. PauI's Has Five and the other
Parish Two to Give TO an Iowa
Man Representing the
Diocese,

The members Of the Episcopal church In
this city are interested in the question Sf
the election of a bishop for Iowa to sue
coed the late Bishop William Stevens Perry.
The election will be held September at
Davenport, when the clergy and lay dele
gates from the different churches through
out the state will meet in convention at the
cathedral for the purpose. The method OF
electing Bishop Perry's successor will be by
ballot each clergyman and each lay dele
gate having one vote, but the votes of the
clergy and the laymen will be counted sep
arately and an election requires numer-
ical majority of both votes This manner
may make the election somewhat compli-
Gated as the laymen may pick on one candi-
date, while the clergy may have an entirely
different choice.
The ratio of representation of lay dele
gates to the convention from each church
will be proportioned according to the num-
Der of communicates, and Is as follows:

nothing loath. One drink followed another
until Weir ventured to suggest his thirst
was quenched and that they proceed to
visit the stock yards. At this point the
two strangers quietly went through Weir's
pockets and relieved him Of his roll, con-
tanning sac. He says he told the men their
game was too thin" but they paid no heed
to him and left the saloon through a back
door and he never saw them again. He
borrowed sufficient to pay his car fare to
Council Bluffs from the keeper Of the sa
loon, whom Weir described as a SANDY
haired Irishman," and is now awaiting a
remittance from friends to enable him to
reach home Weir said he did not inform
the police at South Omaha, as he did not
wish to get advertised"

MASSACHUSETTS OFFICERS RESIGN.
Result of Trouble with the brigade
Comm udcr.


BOSTON. Aug. A special cablegram to
the Journal from Ponce, Porto Rico, says;
a tremendous sensation has occurred in the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment, which is in
General Garretson's brigade. The friction
between the line officers and the officers OF
the brigade, which has been growing ever
since the command left Cuba, reached its
climax Monday, when Colonel Woodward
Lieutenant Colonel Chaffln, Major Taylor
Chaplain Dousseault and Captain Goodell OF
Company K resigned their commissions. The
exact reason which prompted them to take
this action is not at present known. The
cause must have been serious, indeed.
The designations leave Major Charles X
Darling in command of the regiment. The
matter has been fully reported to General
Miles, and a rigid investigation has been
ordered. BY military law to resign in the
face of the enemy means a court-martial.

GARNER, Ia, Aug. 4.-(Special.) 1.-THE
county seat of Hancock county will be prac-
tically moved without vote of the people.
1t has long been at Concord and the resi-
dents of Britt have tried to secure it. They
presented a petition to the board of super
visors asking for a vote on the change and
made an offer of $25, 900 cash and lot
worth $1,000. Then the town of Garner ex-
tended its limits to include the town of Con-
core and an offer of 100000 cash was made
for a new court house provided the board
locates it at more convenient point This
last offer has been accepted and SO the
county seat will come to this town without
a struggle

city which has between 270 and 2S0 COM
municants will be entitled to five delegates.
Grace church will be accorded under this
rating two delegates. There seems to be
diversity of opinions as to whether Bishop
Perry's successor should be selected from the
ranks of the clergy of this state or whether
it would not be more profitable for the diocese
to choose one from outside. There are many
in favor of eecting an Iowa man and the
names of Dean Cornell of Sioux City and
Rev. R. Green, d. D., of Cedar Rapids have
been prominently mentioned and both these
clergymen will undoubtedly have a large
following in the convention at Davenport
Among those who favor the election of some
prominent clergyman from outside the state
there are some who believe that the selec-
tion of an Iowa man would provoke more or
less jealousy among the clergy of the dio-
cese.
The names of clergymen outside the state
who are being mentioned as fitting candi-
dates for the high Office are Rev. j. c. Jones
of Brooklyn, N. Y; Rev. s. c. Edsall of
st. Peters church, Chicago, and Rev. j. S.
Stone, d. D., of the same city. Other names
will probably come up before the convention
meets. One thing is certain that at the
present time it is impossible to form an
opinion as 10 VINO VIII be elected as no one
man has been centered on. The majority of
the clergymen throughout the state it is
reported are opposed to electing the bishop
from among their number and will vote solid
for an outsider, although whom it is not
known or even suggested. On the other
hand a prominent member of st. Paul's
church stated yesterday that he and many
other lay members of the church were
strongly in favor of electng an Iowa man as
bishop of Iowa.
Some two years ago, during Bishop Perry s
lifetime, there was considerable talk of di-
vidng the diocese into two bishoprics, but
nothing was done for want of funds prin-
cipally This question will probably come
up for discussion again at the convention in
Davenport, but it is not thought likely that
any such action will be taken then.
1t is expected that the lay delegates from
st. Pauls church to the convention will be
selected Monday evening at the meeting of
the vestry.

Cash for City EmuIOyes.

City employees in general were feeling
pretty good yesterday as the prospects now
are that they will, commencing next month
receive cash in payment for their salaries
The understanding is that at the council
meeting next Monday the ordinance intro
duced by Councilman Christensen providing
FOR the payment of the salaries of officers
and city employees out of the police fund in
place OF the general fund will be passed
CITY Attorney Wadsworth has given his
opinion that the city has the right to pass
such measure and the councilmen who at
the last meeting objected because they were
doubtful as to the legality of the ordinance
have been brought into line and will now
vote for its passage.

BOSTON, Aug 4.--Most Rev. Sebastian
Martinelli, the papal delegate in the United
States, arrived in Boston last night, max
ing short stay with the Jesuit fathers of
St. Marys church., Endicott street. When
asked what, would be the effect of the an
neXation of Porto Rico to the United States
he answered: II am not a politician and
do not know enough about the place to tell
whether it will be benefit to this country
to own 1t or not. AS far as the interests of
the Porto Ricans is concerned, there Is no
doubt that they will profit by the change"
"Will your jurisdiction as apostolic dele
gate extend to that island when it is an
nexed?' he was asked.
THAT is a question for the holy see to
answer. My lines of jurisdiction are al
ready drawn and l cannot extend them
without positive order from Rome. What
will be done in that regard if anything is
DONE is question for the future and one
upon which | have had no communication
with the pope. Political changes do not in
f1uence Rome in the management of the
church We can safely say it will do what
is for the best
will the church suffer in any way from
the political changes that are likely to take
| place in the Philippines and other Spanish
| islands,
II do not think that any one who knows
| the American people would for moment
entertain thought that the church will be
| in any way interfered with, wherever the
| United States, by conquest or purchase, ac-
quires possession. The change of govern
| ment will take place, l suppose. but l eH-
