It's whole conclusion 10 drawn. The Bible
itself is wholly dogmatio In It's authority.
It's canon was fixed by the Church, 40 far as
It Is fixed. No other evidence as to it's di-
vinity appears.
II, then, Bishop POTTER lie justified in
saying that 1.-The time has come when the
Church and It's teachings must vindicate
themselves by something more than speech
hardened into dogmatic terms" the time
has come when the Church must abdicate It's
supernatural authority, for that is neces-
sarily dogmatic purely.

The North Allan tic Squadron.

After the present summers drill and
manPuvres there will be notable changes
In the squadron that has just celebrated
its great victory Mt Santiago. Admiral
SAMPSON will haul down his flag some
time in the autumn; in few months Capt.
TAYLOR Of the Indiana, Capt. CHADWICK OF
the New York and Capt. SIGsBEE OF the
Texas, whose name will chiefly, however,
be associated with the Maine, are expected
to go upon shore duty The Oregon and
Iowa were long ago separated from the
squadron and sent to Aslatio waters, while
the Brooklyn has another commander than
the one who fought her at Santiago.
II seems probable too, that most or all
OF the grent ships Of last year that remain
in the squadron will before many months
be laid up at League Island, under the re-
serve system which is to be put In opera
tion. Their places will be taken, in ac-
cordance with that system, by now armor-
clads, among which the Kearsarge and
Kentucky will soon be ready while the
Alabama. the first of the succeeding group,
will follow closely.
There Is talk, too. of an auxiliary fleet
largely composed Of the converted yachts,
to do station and cruising duty in the Gulf
and the Caribbean Sea, thus still further
removing the need of keeping more costly
vessels in commission.
Thus in one way or another the greater
part or all both of the vessels and the COM
handing officers that a year ago made the
North Atlantic Squadron 80 famous may,
In few months, cease to be a part Of It.

ENcAMPMENT ENDED.
n-Chief-Resolutions Adopted ON
the Pension Question.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. s.-The SD ma
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic came to an end Thurs
day night The election of a COM
mander-in-chief, which, it was sup
posed, would be settled only after a
warm con test, was conducted and car
ried out in the most peaceable manner
Imaginable. Col Albert d. Shaw, of
Watertcwn, n. Y, was unanimously
elected to the highest office of the or
ganization after Judge Leo Rassieur,
of st. Louis, had declined to be can
didate. Early in the campaign there
were three candidates. w. c. John
son, of Cincinnati, who was acting COM
mander-in-chief, was first mentioned
and the names of Col. Shaw and Judge
Rassieur later became prominent.
Johnson's boom was ended Wednesday
with his election to the Office for the
unexpired term of the late Commander
Sexton, lasting two days.
. This rendered him ineligible to can
didacy for another term, and with the
election of Col. Shaw he becomes as
past commandments The friends
of Col. Shaw and Judge Rassieur
claimed the victory until the Missouri
veterans at Thursdays session OF the
'encampment. withdrew from the con-
test in favor of his New York oppo-
nent. Aside from the selection of a
ccmmander-in-chief, the pension ques-
ton receives the major portion of at
tention. Resolutions were adopted
that rule 225. passed by congress in
1890, and now in practice, was hard
ship in that it required proof of iden-
tity and injuries which many old SOL
diers could not furnish and asking
that the president re-establish
rule 164, later passed by congress,
which is not so stringent in its re-
quirements. The resolutions also de-
plored the practice in the pension bu-
reau which bars widows who have an
income of 500 year, and asks that the
