AT YESTERDAYS session in Philsdel-
phia of the Protestant Episcopal Con-
vention OF the Diocese of Philadelphia q
resolution to instruct the delegates to the
next general convention of the church
at Richmond in October to favor a re-
vision of King Jsmes's version of the
Bible was defeated after long debate.
The vote was 100 10 1OS. The action
of the Pennsylvania Episcopalians is to
be commended. If the Bible is to be
revised at the whim of every dissatisfied
churchman there will soon be nothing
of it left. Old time religion is good
enough to stand for many years yet.

Wrecked steamer Peoitou.

Montevido, May 9.-TwO score or
more passengers and sailors still on the
wrecked steamer Peoitou, which went
aground yesterday on the rocks of San
Jose Ignacio, are reported to be in ex.
IRENE danger today, owing to the sudden
increase 10 violence of the storm which
drove the vessel ashore. Several steamers
have gone to the rescue and workers on
land are doing everything possible to
take ch the menaced passengers, but it
is fearC1 the steamer may 90 to pieces
at any moment and all be lost. 1t is
now said the death list will not number
more than 100, even if none of the pass
epgers now on the steamer is saved. The
panic which followed the grounding Of
the steamer was responsible for most of
the deaths caused 80 far. Many of the
passengers rushed on deck and plunged
into the sea. Some of them we're able
to swim to shore, but scores are said to
have persisted.
