presentment against Bishop Talbot, left for
the east at noon today.
He looked care-worn and haggard. Dur

due to his failure to influence the vestry
men who have repudiated their signatures
on the presentment to permit their names
to remain.
1t is understood that an effort was made
by DR.. Irvine to communicate with John
Langdon, one of the men who repudiated
the presentment, but without success

That Bishop Talbot has in his possession
letters and papers bof q sensational char

tense, was stated at South Bethlehem, Pa,
recently by Mrs. Talbot in an interview
with a reporter.
Though the bishop has thus far refrained
from making these documents public, 1t is
her own statement.
1.-THE bishop" said Mrs. Talbot, has
been silent awaiting what he regards as
the proper time to speak. In this we by no
means agree, as I have repeatedly urged
