In the town OF Zamboanga, in the is.
land of Mindanao," said Representative
Mercer. who has just returned from tn,
Philippines yesterday, all. Americans
are called John by the nstives-men
women. and children alike. You know
in the United States. the almost invari-
able custom is TO call Chinsslen John
and they do not relish it at all as they
have their names like any other nationali-
ty.
"A Chnaman who had some experience
with the custom referred to. lived In Zan-
boanga. and when he heard the Ameri-
cans were coming. he hustled around to
all the hshtants Of the village and in
formed them thatthere was nothing which
the Americans regarded as greater com
pliment than being called John
Consequently. wherever an American
goes in that village the natives bow. and
scrape and salute him as John Then
they look pleased. and their manner in
dicates that few copper coins would be
appreciatively received, and they cannot
understand why the Americans do not re
spond."

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Both par
ties to the asphalt controversy. the
New York and Bermudez company and
Che Warner -Quinlan syndicate. have
declined to enter into the arrangement
for an amicable settlement of their
troubles, the foundation of which was
laid by Minister Bowen at Caracas
last week.
! The New York and Bermudez compa-
ny points out that Il settlement of the
kind proposed would expose it to SINH
lar attacks by individuals and corpora
tions and that no arbitration save an
international one to which Venezuela is
Il party could protect Its rights. 1t al
ready has asked for such an arbitra-
ton.
The Warner-Quinlan syndicate is
willing to meet representatives of the
New York company in this country in
the effort to compromise. but 1t objects
strongly to Mr.. Bowen's proposition on
the ground that the same purpose can
he served by the legal trial now going
on in Venezuela. which already has
progressed at considerable expense to
the parties.

| Adopted Will Lead to . Large In

| school Workers In session.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s-This was
q day Of oratory in the house of depu
ties Of the triennial Episcopal conven
tion. The debute which began las
Saturday on the proposed addition tc
article 10 Of the constitution prescrib
ing the form of worship was continued
all day and resulted in Its adoption. As
adopted it is az follows:
But provision may be made by
canon for the temporary use of old
forms and directories of worship by
congregations not In union with this
church who are willing to accept the
spiritual oversight of the bishop of
the diocese or missionary district"
The debate was very animated. and
until the result was made known 1t
was the prevailing opinion that the
vote would be much more evenly divid.
ed than it was. 1t was strongly urged
by the advocates Of the proposed
change that its adoption would open
the way to great increase In the
membership Of the church, while its
opponents regarded 1t US too radical
an innovation.
The house Of bishops adopted the
amendment to article l, section. 1S, of
the constitution, already approved by
the deputies. which in effect makes the
presiding bishop Of the church elective
for term Of three years by majority
of bishops. 1t was voted, in view Of
the growing importance Of missionary
work in China, to divide the district
Of Shanghai into two departments to
be known as those Of Shanghai and
Hankow. The bishops considered a
number Of reports and transacted much
routine business.
The Daughters of the King elected
council and decided to hold meetings
triennially hereafter, preferably in the
convention city.
The American Sunday School insti-
tute elected Bishop Talbot of central
Pennsylvania president and retained
Rev. IL. L. Duhring Of Philadelphia as
secretary treasurer. Its sessions We're
