Republicans held n caucus and de-

The first vote on senator will be
taken Tuesday. There has been talk
of Democratic caucus prior to that
date, but both sides are unwilling to
commit themselves.
Representative Hedges of Fergus
county shares with Lindsey of D8w-
son the honors of leader OF the minor

member Of the body.
In committee appointments Mr..
Hedges was favored, receiving a

EPISCOPAL CONGRESS.
To Be Convened at st. Paul Next
Week.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 5.-Everything
is now in readiness for the opening of
the Episcopal Church congress to be
held in St. Paul next week. The con
gress is a meeting of the members OF
the Episcopal church for the purpose
of discussing questions prominent in
the minds CT churchmen. 1t has no
legislative function, but is purely edu-
cative in character. The coming sea-
son will number among it's speakers
men very prominent in the church, and
the questions to be discussed are Of
vital Importance. The congress will
open Tuesday with celebration of the
holy communion in Christ church. to
be followed by an address by Bishop
White of northern Indiana. The ad-
dress of welcome will be given by
Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota, and will
be followed by a paper by Bishop Pot
ter of New York on the subject, Does
National Expansion Involve Imperial
ism?"
The bishop of New York expressed
last year some positive opinions on
this subject, and expectation regarding
what he will say this year is keen.
Wednesdays session will be occupied
largely with discussion of 1.-The Sun
day Question" with the Rev. w S.
Rainsford Of New York city as the
speaker. The Bearing of the
Newspaper on Intellectual and Moral
Life" will be considered the third day
and the participants in the discussion
will include Rev. DR.. Cameron Mann of
Kansas City, Rev. Dr. Alexander Mac
kay Smith of Washington, and the
Rev Dr. David H. Greer of New York
city. Other leading questions slated
for consideration are THE Value to
of the Comparative Study
of Religions rs Nature a Christian"
and The Prayer Book in the Life of
the People,
1t is considered possible that the
of the congress may be enliv-
ened by a clerical attack on modern
divorce laws. The ritual contest in the
church of England will also be one of
the live topics that will receive at
-ention.

THEY WANT PROTECTION.
British Subjects Claim They Are
Being Neglected.

Mafeking, Oct. 5.-Great uneasiness
exists here over the massing of the
Boers near the frontier. AT a largely
attended meeting today Mr. Kiosle, a
former major, and other speakers,
complained that the imperial authori-
ties were neglecting to afford proper
protection for the inhabitants, as this
border is much more exposed than the
Natal border. The Bosrs, backed
with artillery, could invade the town
in a few hours. Many women, child
rem and refugees, the speakers pointed
out, were thus placed in a position of
great danger.
