Special Dispatch to IN. CAN.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2e.-If the Senate
Committee on Commerce had voted Of
ficially to-day upon the nomination OF DR..
W. d. Crum to be Collector of the Port
OF Charleston. S. c.. an adverse report
would have been the result. Twelve of
the sixteen members were present.
It was understood that a vote on the
nomination was to be taken. The case
was freely discussed and It was shown
that seven members were opposed to ia
vorable acton and only five sustained the
appointmeu-. Three Repuhlicans-EIkins
of West Virginia. Jones of Nevada and
Perkins of CaHfornia-voted with the
Democrats against DIR. Crum
The Republicans who favored Dr. Crum
did so on political grounds and with a
view of maintaining friendly relations
with the Republican organization. At
least two of them privately admit that
the appointment Is unfortunate and they
would cheerfuny join in a movement to
have the nomination Withdrawn. Further
consideration OF the case was postponed
until next Thursday.
In the meantime the President will be
advised Of the situation and the hope is
freely expressed that he may see his way
clear TO withdraw the nomination Such
action is not altogether improbable. for
Mr.. Roosevelt admitted on several occa-
sions prior to sending DR.. Crums nominal
ton to the Senate that he was not en-
thusiastic over the prospect OF being
forced to make the appointment.
The Republican Senators have no inten-
ton Of discrediting the President. but
many of the most conservative freely as
sert the unwisdOm OF forcing DR.. Crum
on Charleston. simply because he is a
cclored politician who has figured con
sp:cuously in several Republican national
conventions. It was asserted in the Sen
ate to-day that thorough understanding
of social and commercial conditions in
Charleston renders it exceedingly doubtful
whether the nomination will be confirmed
if the President should refuse to with
draw it,

MERELY A NICKNAME.

Rev. r. c. Foute rector of 'Grace
Church, who represented the minority,
was the next speaker. He stated that a
change in the, name was coming whether
the diocese voted in favor of it or not. He
laid particular emphasis upon the fact
that the church was not a founding and
that the present action suggested it was
without paternity. He maintained that
the report upon which he was speaking
did not touch the subject of change and
merely attempted to correct a mistake
He informed the convention that the nick
name of Protestant Episcopal had been
given to the church after the Civil War
when several of the leaders had got to-
gether and hit upon that appelation. He
declared that he never acknowledged that
he was Protestant Episcopalian and that
there was nothing in the catechism which
mentioned that title. He told his auditors
that if they liked the euphonious sound
ing title they could keep it. I'VE never
were Protestant Episcopallans." declared
Mr.. Foute. land the name was tackled on
nickname, and if we so desire we can
come out under our true cognomen and
forsake the false colors under which we
have been sailing"
Rev. f. w. Clampett, rector of Trinity
Church, who introduced the amendment
stated that all agreed that the legal title
was inadequate and he believed that the
name Protestant should be eliminated.
He declared that the greatest minds in
the church agreed that the name should
be changed and he hoped that the conven-
ton would support his amendment

while there was some cheering in the
hall the Ankeny men listened in silence.
When the result of the ballot had been
announced a committee was Immediately
appointed to escort Senator Ankeny. Pres
ton and Wilson to the bar of the House.
Senator Ankeny in short speech
pledged himself to represent the whole
State and show Partially to no section.
Both Preston and wilson eulogized ex-
United States Senator John B. Allen, who
died last night in Seattle. and Mr.. Will
son made a plea for harmony in the Re-
publican party, pIedging his influence to
that end.
Levi Ankeny was born on a farm near
st. Joseph, Mo, in 1874. Six years later
he crossed the plains with his parents,
who took up a donation land claim near
the present town of North Yamhill, Or.
His father. Captain a. p. Ankeny, en-
barked in the steamboat business on the
upper and lower Columbia River. while
Levi and his brother. Henry E. Ankeny.
ran pack trains to the Fraser RIVER and
Orc Elmo lines, and conducted the Wells,
Fargo & Co. express route from Portland
to Lewiston, Idaho Twenty-Five years
ago Ankeny went to Walla Walla, Wash.
and established the First National Bank
of that place. At the present time he is
president of six national banks-three at
Walla walla, Wash; CoIfax, Wash; Day
ton, Wash; Waitsburg. Wash; Pendle-
ton, Or. and Baker City. Or. In addi-
ton to the banks, he operates a number
of large stock ranches and wheat farms.
His holdings in agricultural and grazing
lands in Washington and Oregon amount
to fully 100000 acres. and last year he
harvested about 1000 900 bushels of wheat.
He is rated as a millionaire.
In 1867 Ankeny was married to the ED
est daughter of the late Senator j. w.
Nesmith of Oregon.
Ankeny has never held public office, but
his splendid standing in the commercial
and financial world has made him con-
spicuous figure in the affairs OF Wash
ington State for many years.

DISCUSSION is LIMITED.

Upon motion of Rev. Brewer all discus
sion was limited to hve-minute talks
Rev. II. II. Powell spoke against the
change, and Rev. Herbert Parrish advo-
Gated the dropping of the name "Episco-
pal" maintaining that the term was a
negative one. He thought the change
should be made, but that consideration of
what it should be could be taken up at
some other time. Rev. w Liam Shaw was
in favor of changing the name and
thought the appellation Catholic" was
the best title. Rev. J. A. O'Meara and
Rev. n. B. w. Gallwey spoke against the
proposition and Rev. E. A. MCGOWAN in
favor of 1t.
w. A. NJ. Van Bokkelen thought that
change should not be made until a
better name had been secured. Rev. A
s. Clark, stated that 1t was his opinion
that the time had not arrived for a COM
plete decision and that as the church was
largely divided on the matter it was too
important to settle on a majority vote
He said that IL it was the intention IN
bury the name Protestant 1t should be
done decently and with reverence. w.

he had been belonging to a church that
he should be ashamed Of and that he was

LOOKS LIKE BELKNAP
Will Be the Rep ubI!can Nominee
For Governor.
CONVENTION IN SESSION TODAY.

The Republican convention to
nominate a State ticket convened
in Louisville at the hour we go to
press.
Morris h. Belknsp, of Louis
vile is the leading candidate and
will probably be the nominee for
Governor, though Attorney Gen.
eral Pratt has a strong following,
and thinks he will be the nominee.
Concerning his chances he said;
Reports received by me from
the county conventions over the
State assure me of at least one
half of the uninstructed vote. Ma
ny counties have not yet reported
which | am sure will give me first
instructions. | am well pleased
with the situation, and am in the
fight to the end"
Belknap's friends declare that he
will be nominated on the first bal
lot.
The convention is composed of
226S delegates. Belknap's friends
claim over 1000 instructed votes,
aud Judge Pratt says he will go
into the convention with between
700 and 500 delegates. Wilson is
the weakest man IN the race.
In Jefferson county contesting
delegations were named in all the
meetings Saturday, by the boiling
followers of Mr.. A. Z. Wilson.
Every mass convention was a scene
of disorder and serious clashes
between angry politicians were
narrowly averted in more than one
ward. The convention at Yer
sailles broke up in a fight. Con-
testing delegations were elected at
Frankfort.
