NOTHING GIVEN OUT REGARDING
THE DISCUSSION.
Bishop Dudley of Kentucky Unani-
mously Elected Presiding OFF,
Ger of Body.

. The secrecy maintained by the Pan
American conference of bishops in its de-
alterations is the subject of comment
among many of the clergy and laymen of
the Protestant Episcopal denomination.
When the question of admitting the public
and the press to some of the sessions at
least was brought up yesterday a debate
that became somewhat acrimonious is said
to have ensued.
1t is understood that the dissension. if
such 1t could be called. came from the atti-
tude of the low churchmen of the body, who
thought that the public was entitled to a
comprehensive knowledge of many of the
acts of the conference and the opinions Of
the several bishops as expressed by them
in the debates
The high churchmen among the bishops
insisted, it is understood that the sessions

PROTEST FROM FARMERS.


A protest has been made to some
members of the state commission, in
charge OF the work Of collecting the ex-
hibit from the state of Oregon for the
st. Louis fair. against possible dis
elimination in favor of the mining ex-
hibit, The agriculture; interests are
demanding that this part Of the states
display shall be given a satisfactory
showing. There is no disposition on the
part of the state commission to discrim
mate against any of the states inter-
ests or TO give to one industry any
more space or attention than its rel
ative Importance demands. The sus-
picions of some of the farmers and 9th.
ers interested in the development of
the agricultural resources of Oregon
were aroused by the insistence of some
mining men upon an elaborate mining
bureau and an exhaustive canvass Of
the state for displays.

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN
Explosives Break Up Meeting of ouak-
er Doctors.


The practice of small boys for the
past two evenings to throw fire crack
ers and other explosives in the midst of
the quaker doctors" while they were
expoundng the great curative proper
ties of their exclusive medicines has
had a discouraging effect upon the sue
cess of the meetings. This was bad
enough, but when 1t appeared to the
distracted doctors that the boys were
assisted in their good time by grown
men, their Indignation boiled over. In
consequence ''roasts" were handed out
ON both Friday and last night that
were considerably more spicy than any
thing they had hitherto dealt in II
developed, however, that the doctors
spoke with more vigor than wisdom,
for on both OCCASIONS the din increased
to such awful proportions that they
closed their meetings in despair.

The day was by no means altogether
bad. there were long stretches Of DIR,
spells. and the sun actually shone al-
most three times. The rain at no time
was violent or drenching and practic-
ally ceased altogether during the last
two or three hours OF the stay.
The most unfortunate thing OF the
day was the prevailing keen wind that
prevented any from continuing on the
beach for any length OF time with any
degree OF pleasure. so throngs were
scattered throughout, the groves and
about the town and during the latter
part OF the afternoon when the weather
moderated, crowded on the beach and
glorled In the Paeihc's grandeur.
While the day was not without its set
backs II was not devoid OF pleasure and
no one was heard to express a regret
for having been an excursionist.
