Bishop Potter'S Visit.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The Herald says:
Bishop Potter has sent a cablegram from
Yokohama announcing his arrival in
Japan and a stay in Honolulu of a day
and a half. He is accompanied by the
Rev. Percy S. Grant of the church of the
Ascension. They are on their way to the
Philippines but may go to India before
they return. Bishop Potter's Honolulu
errand was to meet the Right Rev. DR..
Alfred Willis, the bishop there. The po-
litical relations of the island having
changed, it appears hat there was ex-
p~ectation that a transfer of the diocese
might have been made to the American
house of bishops before this but for the
inaction of the Honolulu bishop. His
diocese is an independent one but has a
| nominal connection with the church OF
| England from the fact that the nomina-
ton to the b%ishopric is vested in the
| archbishop of Canterbury.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. IA question
which is likely to have an important, if
not a deciding influence on the contest
for the governorship in Kentucky, was
brought up to-day by the c%anvassing
board Of Jefferson county, which includes
Louisville. Counsel for the democratic
candidates gave notice of a motion to
throw out the vote of the city because
of the presence of militia at the polling
places on Nov. Z. The notice served on
the commissioners, says:
For the democratic candidates we now
give notice that at the close of the count
and before any certificates be issued, we
Will move the board n all of it's author
tiles that may consider this election to
declare null and void the election held
in the city of Louisville on the 9TH day
of November, 1899"
Among the causes enumerated for this
proposed action are the following: Be
cause of the usurpation of William o.
Bradley in calling out and illegally using
the militia and overaWing and intimida-
ting the voters and officers of aid cleo
ton and interfering with the progress Of
said election and with the duties of the
officers of said election.
Because the said use Of the said mill
tia was unlawful in very respect n a
criminal u%surpatiOn Of power by the
said named persons, and thereby the
civil power was subordinated to the mill
tary power and ar overt act Of treason
able nature against the constitution Of
Kentucky was committed"
This action has been expected ever
since the official count began. It was
freely reported on election day that if
the militia was called out it would re-
suit in some such step. With Louis
VILE thrown out GOebel would I'VE a
safe plurality in the remainder of the
state. This dispute will prolong and
a~ggravate the fight.
