EPISCOPAL
House of Deputies at Work on Pro-
posed Amendments to Constitution

San Francisco, October 3.-In con
junction with the opening Of the trien-
NAL convention of the Episcopal
church OF America, today a thanksgiv-
ing service was held in Grace church
at which the missionary Offering Of the
women's auxiliary, amounting to $104,-
295 was presented and was received
with heartfelt expressions OF thanks
The sessions OF the convention were
devoted entirely to business. After the
announcement of the standing commit
tees a discussion or the proposed
amendments to the constitution was
begun and continued with much ear
nestness until evening. The result of
the days work was the adoption Of the
first seven articles, which were pro-
posed in the general convention OF 1898.
Several resolutions were introduced
in the house Of deputies and referred
to the committee on the Prayer Book.
They were in reference to a change in
the title page of the Prayer Book; by
the Rev. B. r. w. Taylor, suggesting
the insertion of the words:
Holy Catholic church according to
the use of" before the words "Protes-
ant Episcopal church in the United
States of America"
1t was resolved to draw up suitable
resolutions regarding the death Of the
late President Mckinley, which shall
be finally adopted by a rising vote.
In accordance with DR.. H~untington's
resolution, the amendments to the N
%stitution were then taken up. The first
four resolutions were adopted.
Article V, providing for the erection
of new diocese from missionary juris-
diction by the division of existing do
cese and by the junction OF two or
more diocese, was taken up. The prin-
cipal change from the old constitution
is in giving greater facility in the for
| nation Of diocese from missionary jur-
isdictions. The further consideration
of this article was postponed until next
Wednesday because its adoption now
might work a hardship on one or two
new dioceses. which are to ask for adj
mission to union with the general con-
vention at this session.
Article VI, providing for the est@h.
sinner of missionary districts, SIM
ply makes constitutional law what be-
fore had been only canon law. 1t was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
DR.. Egar then moved the adoption
of Article VII, which provides for the
organization of provinces. There was
no discussion Upon this proposed new
departure in the American church and
is was adopted by an overwhelming
majority.
A message from the house of bish-
ops was received announcing that the
report providing for marginal readings
in the Old and New Testaments be al
lowed to be used by ministers of this
church in reading lessons from holy
scripture in morning and evening
prayer.

houses would sit together tomorrow as

Lieutenant Doyle said that upon APP
preaching Santiago on the evening or
May 18th the squadron had lain to for
the night about seven miles Off Santa

quiries concerning the wig-wag signals

to find an entry of the signal in the
ships log Reading the log he found
a noA of several signals and then
a note saying that other unimportant
signals had been made"
Mr.. Hanna inquired whether the wit

writer had regarded the matter.
