an ideal Senate chaplain. The cleo
ton of the Rev. Edward Everett Hale
to succeed DR.. Milburn was due TO
the suggestion OF the venerable Sena-
tor HOar.
The salary of a Congressional chap
lain is $500 a year. His duties are
simple He must be in his place be-
fore the desk when the gavel falls at
noon. The members stand with bowed
heads and he makes his prayer. That
is all. He Is then at liberty TO go
home until the next day. During the
summer recesses and at other times
when Congress is not in session, he has
nothing TO do bur sign his salary war
rant. He is expected to keep up with
the current events. and to refer TO
such as may be proper in his prayers,
and also to pray for a dead Repre-
sentative or Senator DR.. Millburn
prayed once every session for the re-
porters and once for the Capitol en-
ployes.

EPISCOPALIANS ADJOURN
After Listening to Reading Of Pastoral
Letter by Bishop Potter.

Letter by Bishop Potter.
Boston, Oct. 26.-The triennial gen.
eral convention of the Episcopal
church, which has been in session
here since October 5. was ended late
Tuesday with public service in Trim
i;y church. From the pulpit Bishop
Henry G. Potter, of New York, read
a pastoral letter addressed to the
church at large.
The communication, which consist
ed Of more than 5000 words, con-
sidered the problems now before the
country Regarding divorce, the past
oral said that the faculty. with which

of American civilization, to the posi-.
BILE perlls Of which Christian people
are as yet very imperfectly aroused.
The letter made plea for the per-
manence and security of the family.
1t also discussed the negro problem,
stating that the church was taking
steps to correct the situation so far
az possible. Other pressing questions
were dealt with.
Among the many negative actions
taken was the decision not to change
the name of the church at this time
nor to act on the proposition group.

NO EXPLANATION YET
Reason Why Russian Fleet Fired on
Fishermen Still a Mystery.
GAR SENDS ENGLAND REGRETS
say Families Of Victims Should Re-
ceiVe Fullest Observation-Disclosures
Diplomats Confident Matter VIII Be
Amlcably Settled.

st. Petersburg, Oct 26.-Vice Adj
lniral Roiestvensky's reasons for fir
ing into the British fishing fleet re-
main as great a mystery as ever.
Again at midnight the admiralty an
nounced that the admirals report Of
the affair had not been received.
Moderation Shown.
Meantime, without waiting the Rus
sian version of the affair. Emperor
Nicholas, through Ambassador Har-
dinge, has sent to King Edward and
the British government a. message
conveying an expression Of the pro.
foundest regret for the unfortunate af
fair, coupled with assurances that the
families Of the victims should receive
the fullest reparation. The British
government also shows moderation in
a note which Sir Charles Hardinge
has presented to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. While it awaits an expla-
nation for the act which it character
ICES in strong language as unjustifi-
able, deliberate and lnhuman, it makes
no threats, fixes no time limit for re-
spouse and contains no demands, the
note specifically stating that Great
Britain's demands are reserved pend
ing receipt of an explanation.
The willingness of Great Britain to
await the Russian explanation before
formulating demands shows considera-
ton for the position in which Russia
had been placed Ly deplorable
blunder. At the same time this con.
sideration has an ominous ring about
it, only serving to emphasize the gray
ity of the situation, the language of
the note admitting Of no doubt that
when the demands are ultimately pre-
scented Great Britain intends to insist
upon full compliance with them.
Who Is Responsible?
From the diplomatic standpoint, the
fact that Great Britain has not shown
her hand strengthens her position.
What the nature Of the demands will
be must necessarily be a matter of
speculation until Admiral Roiestven-
sky's report arrives but if the impor-
tant allegation in the note is estab-
lished, namely, that the squadron &C.
tually changed formation before open
ing fire, it would seem to fix the re-
sponsibility upon Rojestvensky; and
whoever the author of the ofrense may
be, it is regarded as certain that Great
Britain will demand, among other
things, his punishment. 1t is also con-
sidered certain that failure TO prompt.
ly comply with the demands will be
followed by Ambassador
recall.
Although some nervousness is per-
ceptible in diplomatic circles, general
ly speaking there is the greatest con-
fidence both among diplomats and
high officials of the government that
the affair will be amicably adjusted.
