Delegates from Five Continents
and Oceania Present
At Opening Of Episcopal Trien.
niaI Convention.
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
That Archbishop of Canterbury
Has Been Present.
Most Important Meeting Of the
Body Ever Held.

Boston, Oct. 5.-Prelates from i've
continents and from distant islands of
the sea, representatives of the Anglican
communion throughout the world, par
ttcipated in the opening ceremonies OF
the triennial general convention of the
Episcopal church in the United States
In this city today. For the first time in
ecclesiastical history the archbishop of
Canterbury, primate of England and
metropolitan was present at a formal
assembly of the American Episcopal
body. He was received with all the
nonor due his rank and as the guest on
the American church was accorded a
hearty welcome by four score bishops
of domestic dioceses,
The convention is regarded as the
most important ever held by the Epis-
copal denomination. The proposed leg
islation embraces questions of moral re-
form, alterations in the ecclesiastical
administration and even a change in the
name of the church itself. The house OF
bishops and the house of deputies, the
legislative bodies will devote three
weeks to the consideration of business
and on several topics such as the
movement to prevent the remarriage
by the clergy of a divorced person while
the former partner is living and the
demand from certain quarters to omit
the word protestant from the
churcn's legal title THE Protestant
Episcopal church in the United States
a protracted discussion is anticipated.
proposal to group the diocese into
provinces with a senior bishop or
primate at the head of each proposed
district and a plan to have a final code
of review established for the purpose of
hearing appeals from diocesan courts
will also be warmly debated. Missions
at home and abroad will form another
live subject for consideration both by
the convention itself and by several
specially arraigned missionary mass
meetings at some OF which the arch
bishop of Canterbury and prominent
Americans viii speak.
| The features of today were the pres
ence of the English primate, a process
| sion of dignitaries which formed the
most imposing spectacle ever seen in
ttne Episcopal church in this country
and a, sermon delivered at the opening
service in Trinity church by the Right
Rev William Croswen Doane, d. D., L.
L. D., bishop of Albany, N. Y.
Bishop Doane said that 1t seemed to
him that the seeking after and the in
sfsting upon starting points of agree
ment was wiser than the seeking after
and denouncing the parting points Of
difference. He said the church had out
grown the discussion of points of ritual
and that the air had been cleared of the
old contentious. He thought the time
would come when men would incline
rather to broaden than to narrow the
terms admitting persons to the holy
communion.

each of the claimants referring neces-
sarily to the "call of the regularly con-
stituted party authorities" as in the
case in hand.
Ninth-The present controversy
comes clearly within the second clause
of said section 35, answering as it does
every call thereof:
(a) Two conventions were held.
(b) Each of said conventions made
nominations.
(c) Such nominations were duly
certified.
CD Each of said conventions
claimed to be the regular convention
of the Republican party
Tenth-It was competent for the legiS-
lature in authorizing official ballot
and in granting to the party nominees
a right to have their names placed
thereon under the party designation, to
subject that right, in case of contro-
versy between two or more sets of
nominees, each claiming the same and
such designation, to the decision of the
party tribunal as in said section 35.
Eleventh-The creation of a tribunal
to determine such controversies, no pro-
visions being made for judicial review
of it's decisions, necessarily makes its
Jurisdiction exclusive and its decisions
unimpeachable, except for jurisdictional
defects.
Twelfth-The tribunal answering to
the call of said section is found to
exist in the Republican state central
committee elected at the state conven-
tion of 1902, and duly certified to the

Chicago. Oct. 5.-Mr. L. F. Loree
has resigned as chairman of the exec

the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific

& San Francisco railroad company. At

Mr.. Mather was born on July 1,
1853, and attended the public school at
Galesburg, Ill, until 1872 He learned
the trade of brass finiSher for the
manufacture of telegraph instruments
and from 1876 to 1882 was at different
periods clerk in the master mechanics
office and the ticket office of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy He grad
uated from Knox college at Galesburg,
Ill. in 1882 and moved to Chicago in
October of that year, where he secured
a position as clerk in the treaSurers S
office of the, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy He remained with that road
until 1885. and the following year was
admitted to the bar in Chicago. He
was appointed local attorney of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific at Chi
cago in 1889 and held that position
until 1891 from which date to 1894
he was assistant general attorney of
the same road He was then made
general attorney and held that title
until he was made general counsel in
1902. He was elected to the first vice
presidency of the Rock Island in 1903
and to the third vice presidency of the
st. Louis & San Francisco in 1903.
President WinchelI Won.
The statement made by President
b l. Winchel of the Rock Island
railroad when he passed through here
a little over a week ago on a special
train with Chairman Loree, takes on
a new significance in the light of the
late developments
The fact that Mr.. Winchell won in
the stand which he took against Mr.
Loree, who in the railroad world
greatly outranked him, is an indica-
ton that he has no little influence in
the management of the road. Mr.
Winchen is a comparatively new man
with the Rock Island, but he is
western railroad man, is considered
one of the best in the west, and he
is said to thoroughly understand west
ern methods.

Princeton.s Work Is Ragged.

Princeton, N. 7. Oct Sat practice
Tuesday. as usually happens after a
game, the work of the Tiger team SEEM
ed to have taken a temporary slump.
The play was lacking in it's customary
spirit, and the varsity failed to show up
well, even on points where it is gem
orally strongest. The scrub tore their
line as though it was paper, and the
record of their offensive work improves
in proportion as it is let carefully alone.
The scrubs work was much the finer
of the two. but a dreary monotony of
fumbles on both sides showed how
ragged the work really was.

New York, September 13.-Africander, last years suburban handicap winner, today won the cup preliminary, one and q half miles at Brighton Beach. He was quoted at the good price of 20 to 1, but he had to be hard ridden at the end to win by head from McChesney. Eu- genie Burch was third. half a length away. The time, 234, was slow.
 The cup preliminary is a weight for age racers exclusively, for horses three years old and upwards, nominated for the Brighton cup, two and a quarter miles, which is to be run Saturday, the last day of the meeting Hermis won this race last year. The Picket was play next at 3 to ?.
 The start was prompt and Eugenie Burch went ot the front, followed by The Picket and McChesney with Africander fourth. Passing the stand the first time, Eugenie Burch was still leading with The Picket second and McChesney third. This order remained unchanged at the end of the mile. Rounding the head of the stretch McChesney began to make his move and ran out trihe, which probably cost him the race. O'Neil on Africander made his move about the same time The tow came to the finish in a hot drive.

 Pylant showed he was made of the right stuff yesterday when he stuck 1t out notwithstanding the fact that he was being pounded hard. Fast fielding saved him. This youngster certainly has all kinds of nerve.
 Rickert who is leading the league in stolen bases pilferol his ninety-second bag yesterday. Someone will perhaps remark that that is running some.
 Aside from his brilliant work at short and on the bases 1amsett got in with three clouts and to his work is due the victory over the leaders.
