DIFFERENCES REcONcILED
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS EXTEND
ED PREsBYTERS.
First Protestant Episcopal Clergy
man to Spread the Gospel in
Porto Rico Will Soon Start
for the Island.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24-The bish-
ops and deputies gave most of their
time to-day to reconciling differences
between them on the revised constitu-
ton in anticipation of final adjourn
ment tomorrow. It disclosed much
tenacity on the part of the deputies to
direct the affairs of their own house
without the control of the bishops. The
question came on a conference report
on article /, which recommended that
the views of the disposal, on the man
ner of choosing members of the House
of Deputies, and giving missionary
deputies the right to vote, be ac-
cepted.
The report was warmly opposed. Mr..
Francis Linde Stetson of New York
argued that there was a proposition to
surrender to the bishops the constitu-
tional direction of the Horse of Depu-
ties. The Rev. DR.. McKim of Wash
ington also argued that the deputies
should control the organization of their
own house.
Final agreement was reached to-day
in both houses of the council on the
articles for the conservation of bishops
for foreign lands.
Roland E. Gruber of Ohio was desig-
mated to-day by the House of Bishops
as editor of the committee charged
with preparing for church use the
translation of the prayer book into Ger
man. Other members of the commit
tee are DR.. c. c. Tiffany, New York;
Johann S. E. Rockstich, Rev. J. P.
Peters, New York, and Benjamin w
Wells Of the University of the South.
Another conference report was sub
mitted to the deputies on article l Of
the constitution and it was adopted.
The committee reported that the diff
ferenceS between the deputies and
bishops had been adjusted in accord
ance with the sentiments of the depu-
ties indicated in the debate during the
morning.
An amendment was adopted to the
canons giving a presbyter an equal
right with the bishop of a diocese to
appeal to the presiding bishop for a
council of Cancellation to settle differ
ences, instead of the present canon,
which gives the bishops preference in
the matter of time.
The House of Bishops spent most of
the time of the afternoon In considering
the draft of the pastoral letter read in
the churches after the conclusion of the
work of the triennial council.
Rev. George Colinhill of Delaware
was elected bishop for the missionary
district of Kioto, Japan.
The announcement was made in the
House of Bishops to-day that the first
Protestant Episcopal clergyman to en-
ter Porto Rico to spread the gospel of
the American church will leave New
York next Wednesday. He is Rev. Mr..
Taft of st. Georges Church, and he is
sent by Bishop Potter Of New York.
His headquarters will be at Ponce.
where he will first care for the Amer
lean sick and wounded in the hospital
there and then administer to whoever
desires his services.

DUE TO THE BRIDES ILLNESS
MISS WILLIAMS COMPELLED TO
FoREGo CHURCH WEDDING.
The Couple to Go to Manila at the
Conclusion of the Peace Con-
ference Now Being Held
at Paris.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Oct 24.-General Merritt
and Miss Williams were married at
o'clock this evening In the brides
apartments at the Savoy Hotel.
It had been planned to have the cere-
mony take place in ST. Andrews
Church, Westminster, but an illness
which Miss Williams contracted dur
ing the voyage necessitated the SIM
plest possible ceremony, and the avoid
ance of exertion and excitement. Con-
sequently only a few relatives and init
mate friends were present. They were
Mrs. Norman Williams, the brides
mother; Norman Williams Jr., her
brother; Lord and Lady Arthur Butler,
Henry White, the United States Charge
d'Affaires and Marshal Dodge. A less
ostentatious wedding could not be i'm
agined. The general strolled from the
Metropole to the Savoy unattended,
wearing a beaver hat, frock coat and
a white tie. The party gathered In the
drawing which had been beauti-
fed by a few flowers. he Rev. John
Heathcote, rector of st. Andrews, OIL

of her brother, who gave her away
She was atttred in white satin and

SONS. Though looking i'll, the. bride
stood throughout the ceremony and
pronounced the responses in strong
voice.
After the ceremony Mr.. White pro-
posed the health of the bride, which
was drunk with enthusiasm, and the
members of General Merritt's staff en-
tered and congratulated the newly
married couple. The guests after
ward departed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Mer-
rift dined alone. The brides illness,
which for a time it was feared would
develop into typhoid fever, was the
cause Of the abandonment of the cere-
mony which was to have taken place
in st. Andrews Church. In fact, yes
terday it was thought the wedding
would have to be postponed indefinite
ly, but Miss Williams was so i'm
proved this morning that 1T was de-
cided at noon not to delay the wedding,
but abandon the proposed ceremony in
the church.
Then the red tape of English law
threatened to be another obstacle but,
thanks to the friendly Offices of Mr..
White, it was overcome. When Gen
eral Merritt's aid-de-camp applied for
a certificate to the registrar he was in
formed that four days notice was
necessary. Mr.. White was then ap-
piled to. He had just returned from
the Treasury, in Scotland, and he spent
the afternoon in impressing on the Of
ficials the Importance of waving for
malities. After much driving about
and many interviews, Mr.. White sue
ceeded in gaining the desired docu-
ment, though the expectant couple
waited an hour after the time fixed for
the ceremony
The illness of the bride has not
proved as serious as expected, and Gen.
eral and Mrs. Merritt will be able to
carry out their plan of going to Paris
at the end of the week. They will pro-
coed to the Philippine Islands after the
of the Peace Commission.

LOS ANGELES BURNS A LOT
ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE
GREAT BUNKo GAME.
Thousands Of Copies Of the Yellow
Journal Feed the Fires in the
Southern California
City.
Special Dispatch to The Gail.

LOS ANGELES, OCT 24-The San
divides It's time between blackmailing
corporations and running fake money
getting schemes, evidently has papers
to burn. In fact, 1t has so many pa
pers to turn that the San Francisco
crematory Is Of too limited capacity to
take care Of them all, and In order to
help out the circulation liar the people
of Los Angeles have been treated TO a
sample of how this monarch of takers
swells it's totals IN its sworn state
ments.
Three immense drayloads Of overripe
Examiners have been taken to the ere
matory in this city and the sur
rounding air polluted with the offensive
smoke from its reeking pages.
In order to make a. showing in It's
circulation statement thousands of Ex-
aminers have been sent to this city and
stored away in the big cellar under the
branch office, and on Saturday the ac-
emulation so overcrowded the space Of
25x100 feet that it became necessary
to get rid of them, and the circulation
department of the crematory was called
into requisition to dispose of the lot.
Hundreds of bundles of papers, which
had never been united since they
reached this city, were piled up on the
sidewalk in front of the Office until the
street presented the appearance of be-
ing barricaded, and the citizens Of Los
Angeles were treated to an object les
son In the way of a fake newspaper
fa KING otrO111af{On
In its reply to the charges that 1t had
sent thousands Of copies to the crema-
tory in San Francisco, the Examiner
admitted that the bundles were so dis
posed of, but claimed that there was
nothing but spoiled" sheets and waste
paper. This defense cannot lie in the
case of the papers burned in Los An
geies, for they have no press here to
spoil the sheets, nor do they have waste
paper other than the general wasteful-
ness of using white paper for printing
such papers. The papers burned in
the Los Angeles crematory were the
papers that were regularly printed and
sent out regardless of the demand for
them, and the accumulation simply
shows the extent of the bunko game
which the Examiner has been playing
On the people of this city.
Just how many thousand papers were
burned and just what part they played

that naper cannot be told in exact num-
hers. but when it is known that there
were three large drayloads Of the pa
pers and that 1t took six hours for the
crematory to dispose of them some idea
NAV be had of the bogus circulation of
Los Angeles.
Notwithstanding the fact that every
scheme known to a decadent newspaper
for increasing it's circulation has been
tried here, and that the newsboys have
given away large numbers of copies
to get rid of them, the people do not
take kindly to the Matchmaking hood
1er and the result is that the wind has
circulated the foul smoke over the city
and the people say that even this Is
preferable to the matter that is to be
found in the columns of the paper.
When the elevator began to disgorge
the accumulated bundles from the eel
lar crowd of curious citizens was at
tracted by the unusual spectacle, and
when it was learned that the crematory
was the destination Of the drays the
jeers and boots of the spectators told
plainly the position that the Examiner
holds in the popular mind in this city.
Many followed the drays to the crema-
tory and saw the bundles deposited In
the receptacle for garbage, and then
yellow smoke began pouring out of the
tall chimney, and new chapter was
written on fake newspaper circulation
in Southern California.
The question that is now aritatfng
the minds of the people here s how the
Examiner disposes of the vast amount
of extra papers which it sends to all
parts of the State where there are no
crematories. The people can now read
lily understand just how badly fooled
Examiner advertisers are when they
buy space in paper on it's sworn state
ments of circulation, when that cir
cUlatton is largely made by the wind
at the top of the crematory chimneys.

CONFLICT RACES
IN NORTH CAROLINA

WILMINGTON, n. c., Oct. 24-Ad-
vices from Ashpole this morning say
the town is closely guarded by whites
and that all Is quiet. The reference Is,
of course. to the tragedy of yesterday
morning, the following account OF
which appears in the Wilmington
Star: At o'clock yesterday morning
squad from the negroes who were dis
persed at Ashpole, Robson County,
crept up to town and shot three whites
stationed there as guards. They were
Albert Floyd, Robert Inman and VIII
liam Billiard. Billiard is seriously
wounded and the others are slightly
hurt. A hundred whites with blood
hounds are now in pursuit, and it is
said four of the negroes have been
caught The whites are telegTaphing
the principal towns in the State for
Winchester rifles to be sent there i'm
mediately.
The four negroes who shot the three
white guards were captured near Ash
pole They were brought to bay by the
whites and are now confined in box
cars at Ashpole and heavily guarded.
1t is feared that the negroes will at
tempt TO assassinate the guards, which
will so exasperate the whites as to
cause more serious trouble. The guard
was composed of eight or ten men who
were standing around the fire in the
open air, thus becoming easy targets
for the negroes, who fired under cover
of darkness and then fed.
The Ashpole incident has Increased
the excitement at Wilmington, which
IS near the riot line.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
President Mckinley and his advisers
are very uneasy over the situation in
North Carolina and the danger Of
race war in that State. Senator Pritch-
ard has written letter to a Republican
official giving gloomy picture of the
situation and saying that the Governor
may have to call on the President for
troops to Quell prospective riots The
North Carolina situation and Senator
Pritchard's letter were discussed by the
President and Cabinet to-day. In adj
vance Of a request for troops from
Governor Russell no decision will be
reached as to the action to be taken
by the administration. President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna are charged
by many Southern politicians with be-
ing in no little degree responsible for
the situation in North Carolina and
other Southern States. II is pointed out
that the Presidents appointment Of
negroes to office throughout the South
has been very distasteful to the whites.
According to some of the Southern poll
ticians the President had 1t in his
power to do more to solve the race
problem in the South than any man
since the war. He has deliberately
thrown this chance away, they say, and
1t may be another generation before
another such opportunity is presented.

launch was towed back to her starting
place. The engineer was discharged.
