ENGLAND'S FISCAL QUESTION.
An ATTEMPT to Get an Expression of
Opinions from the King Fails.

London, October 20.-The Duke of
D~evonshire until recently Lord Presi-
dent of the council, in a published let
ter, while acknowledging that the fiscal
question may require a reconsideration
of the liberal ~unionist attitude towards
the government, advises the lib
eral u]niOnists at present to re-
main loyal to the government 'especial-
ly as precautions against home rule pro-
pOsals in parliament are still necessary.
An attempt TO draw an expression Of
opinion from King Edward on the fiscal
controversy, by a letter asking for the
truth of a statement published TO the
effect hat the king was q free trader
and had said that he would regard with
great dislike any proposal for taxing
food, has elected a curt reply from
Buckingham palace saying:
The private secretary is commanded
to say that the king never expresses
any opinion on political matters, except
on the advice of his responsible minis
tiers. and therefore, the statement must
be Inaccurate"

BISHOPS IN CONFERENCE
CHANGE OF NAME FAVORED BY
ISHO GAILOR.
The Church of America is Needed.
DIR. Randolph Read u Paper On the
Church Work Among the Negroes
in the United States.

Washington. October 22.-At he
conference Of bishops, Right Rev. Thos.
Frank GailOr, the bishop of Tennessee,
advocated the development of the Epis-
copal church in the United States along
national lines. with a view to the crea-
ton Of a distinctively American church
Bishop Gailor took the ground that the
of England, but the church of America.
He was opposed to the Episcopal church
being called a branch of the church of
England and also to the Introduction Of
English forms and customs into the
American church. Bishop GailOr is in
avOr of a change of name from the
Protestant Episcopal church to a more
appropriate title.
The bishop of Southern Virginia, the
Right Rev. DR.. Randolph, read a paper
upon the work of the church among ne
groes in the United States.
After resolutions of sympathy and
fraternal greeting to the Archbishop
Ruportland prevented by sickness from
being present, the conference adjourn
ed.
Bishop Randolph in his paper said
the need of the negro is a foundation
of character and civilization in family
life. He regarded the negroes contact
with politics as an obstacle to his re-
ligious and moral development, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the restriction
of the negroes right of suffrage in the
Southern States had removed the OBJ
stacle to such development. Indiscrim-
mate suffrage, the bishop said, had de-
PRAYED the negro conscience and the
political conscience of the whole coun-
try.

Washingto, October 22.-While Pres

demand consideration for the question
raised and, in the opinion Of Senators
who have been made aware OF Mr.. Nor
