renewal Of thezattempt. Wellman,
Vaniman and the other members, des-
pite their narrow escape, are eager for
another try whereby they may take
advantage Of the mistakes of the initial
expedition. They will have all the
money they need to construct a new
lirgible. bigger and more powerful

ed early Yesterday off Cape Hatteras.
The warmest booster" OF the prop
osition are the very men who derided
Wellman during the days he kept the

have overwhelmed Joseph Salus, head
OF the party, that originally financed
Wellman, with offers of financial as
sistance. The result is that today Salus
has a representative in New York to
meet the party on its arrival with the
offer Of all the money needed and a
request that they come to Atlantic City
as soon as possible for conference.

SUCCESS MAGAZINE has issued pre-
lminary forecast of the approaching
congressional election in the 39l dis
tricts and gives the following as a sum
mary: Republicans, 100; democrats,
16S; close, probably republican, %;
close, probably democratic, 81; total,
probably republican, 1879; total, prob
ably democratic, 1879; doubtful, IS.
The extraordinary closeneSs of this
coming contest is shown by the predics
ton that 16S districts will certainly be
represented by democrats, and q more
will probably be democratic, giving
total reasonably sure democratic mem
bership OF 1879; while the republican
party will certainly elect 100 members
and will probably elect 20 more, giving
a reasonably sure total Of 1S9-exactly
the same number There are thirteen
districts in the country in which there
is so even a balance Of probabilities
that we can not possibly predict the re-
suit, without resorting to mere guess
work" OF these thirteen doubtful dis
tricts four are now represented by
democrats and nine by republicans. 1t
will be seen by this forecast that the
successful party will have to win seven
OF the thirteen in order TO control the
House. In the tabulated statement
Virginia is given s democrats, repub-
lican and l doubtful. The figures
given out by the democratic campaign
committee, however, give a safe demo-
cratic majority and these latter figures
are much more likely to be correct.

BRYAN INDIANA.

Bryan's speaking tour OF southern
Indiana has greatly surprised the
party leaders, who find him drawing
the largest crowds that have come out
to meetings in that section. While
the party managers are not making
any special efforts to get crowds for
the great cOmmoner, people are COM
ing 20 and 80 miles to hear him and
are applauding him to a degree that
puts other democratic speakers in the
shade. At Evansville, 0wensviIe,
Petersburg and Bloomfield have as
sembled the most enthusiastic crowds
OF the campaign, and Bryan has re-
ceived attentions not given to any
speaker.
People at Bakersfield, Rosebud,
Someryille and other small mining
towns demanded that the train stop
long enough for them to greet Bryan.
Most of the places are flag stations,
and at all Of them the train was duly
tagged. 1t developed that the local
agents had agreed to stop the train,
though there were no passengers TO
get on, because the people were so
insistent that they were afraid not to
put out the flags

am going across the Atlantic in diri-
gible balloon. Far from disheartening
me. this failure has only spurred me to
higher ambitions. II was our equllI-
orator that disabled the America. "
That was the one fatal error, despite
the fact that the plan had worked out
we'll, in theory and at the time j made
my first attempt at the North Pole. 1t

America was drifting helpless and
nearly total wreck above the waters

we're talking over what was needed
We know and intend getting busy as
soon as possible.
Walter Wellman, first captain OF An
airship to be wrecked at sea, awakened
today on the steamer Trent more deter
mined than ever to be the pioneer IN
plotting balloon across the ocean.
The America cat, mascot OF
the expedition seems the only
sufferer. Ever since it was brought on
board the Trent, the women passengers
have insisted on petting it. A number
of them became indignant when Jack"
Irwin, the wireless operator OF the i'll
fated dirigible, insisted on having the
animal placed in a cage and demanded
that the passengers quit trying to stuff
it with de,icacies. Irwin claims the
cat, and has already been offered a
small fortune for it. He says, how
ever, that it is not for sale but will be
kept in order that it may become the
mascot OF America II" when that
airship is constructed and starts on its
journey to Europe.
The dirigible, utterly disabled, had
been drifting for hours and could have
kept in the air not more than twenty
hours longer. That time, however,
would have brought them into the
zone Of the cyclone which has been
creating such havoc off the caribbean,
and it would have been a difficult to
task to have kept the heavy life boat
ahoat in storm.
The Mallory line steamship Concho
arrived today from Key West, having
passed south Of the gulfstorm. A part
Of the deckrailing on the Concho, how
ever, was carried overheard by the high
sea.
The Trent weighed anchor at 80
and was expected to reach her pier by
about four O'Clock this afternoon.

schooner blowing foghorn, and when

THE EPISCOPALlANs.

An amendment to the constitution
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church,
calling for the establishment OF mis-
sionary districts along racial lines, was
yesterday voted down decisively by the
house OF deputies at the trienlial con-
vention OF that body now in session in
Cincinnati.
Ihe negroes have long wanted a
bishop OF their own, but the vote yes
terday was Of such character as to
quiet any suggestions along this line
that might be made in the near future.
Rev. Joseph Dunn, of the Diocese
of Southern Virginia, in speaking
against the adoption Of the amendment
said:
''The emancipation OF the negroes
was a dire disaster, as the negro at
that very time was in need of all the
teaching and help that could be given
TO him by his white brother. They
lost all of this, and the church has As
years misguidance to undo.
The negroes cannot grasp the idea
OF the church as yet. Their religion at
the present time is mostly emotional,
and / believe that the passage of this
amendment would be fatal in regard TO
the negroes. "
The House OF Deputies named its
members Of the joint commission on
social services Clifford Pinchot, Jacob
Reiss, Samuel Mather Roland S.
Morris and w Fallows Morgan con
sttute the laity division, while Rev.
George Hodges, Rev. Howard MeIish,
Rev. Frank Nelson, Rev. +. K. Parson
and Rev. Walter N. Sumner are the
members from the clerical division.
The House of Deputies also passed
the canon regarding missionary work
with the provision that the president
Of the board Of missions be elected t.
six-year term instead OF three as al
first proposed.
In the House o. Bishops yesterday
the provision that gives a clergyman
latitude in marrying the innocent
party to any divorce was repealed. The
canon now holds that divorced mem
bers of the church cannot marry.
Tomorrow the House OF Bishops
will elect bishops to the new mission
airy districts and dioceses. These will
include bishops OF Wuhu. China;
Kearney, Ariz.; North Texas, East
Oklahoma and San Joaquin.
A commission was appointed in the
House Of Bishops yesterday to bring up
at the next meeting, three years hence,
in New York, report on Christian
education, not provided in the public

clared that current school histories will
fully malign the south.
He also criticized Theodore ROose-
welt for euIogizing John Brown. declar-
ing at the same time that the raider OF
Harper's Ferry was murderer. He
said most histories, studied even in
southern schools give wrong reasons
for the war, and even say that the
south fought to keep negroes in slav-
cry. This, he said, is untrue.

SYNOD OF VIRGINIA.

The Synod OF Virginia adjourned at
1856 O'Clock yesterday morning in
Charlottesville to meet next year at
Winchester on the fourth Tuesday in
October, at 8 p. IN. An effort TO make
the time for the next meeting the third
Tuesday in November was lost by a
close vote. A paper was adopted in
dorsing the Synod's orphan home in
Lynchburg, and commencing it to the
liberality OF the people. The commit
toe appointed to consider the communi-
cation from a voluntary conference Of
ministers and officers OF evangelical
churches, recommended the following
reply:
1.-The Synod OF Virginia views with
qualification every movement which
looks toward the closer union and
practical cooperation Of all who hold
in common the great and precious
truths Of the gospel. While it is un-
doubtedly impossible, under present
conditions, to attain to the organic
uulOn Vi Ill WIZ lOfO Iho bluIh, nO
should all seek to present united tes-
timony for it, looking with joyful hope
to the day when we shall all come in
the unity OF the faith and OF the know
ledge OF the Son OF God unto perfect
man, unto the measure OF the stature
OF the fullness OF Christ. We recon-
mend that Rev. Russell Cecil, d. d.,
Rev. q. B. Stricken, ID. d., and Rev.
George i. Petrie, d. D., with Ruling
Elders G. l.. Christian, Thomas b.
Gresham and George Randolph Cannon
he appointed, 10 accordance with the
request in the communication, to at
tend the conference proposed, and that
DIR. Cecil be appointed member of
the committee OF arrangements. In
appointing these delegates TO the pro-
posed conferences on unity, the Synod
OF Virginia deems it proper to make
the following statement: We believe
that our Saviour's prayer for his SER
wants, that they may he one, does not
refer to an external unity Of organiza-
ton among Christians regardless OF
conviction, but rather spiritual unity
OF love and sympathy, and of effort TO
win the world TO Christ. "

Alleged Dynamiters.

San Francisco, October, 19.-That

1t was announced today i'll Los An
geles that that inquest had been in

that she has communicated with the
two men within the last week.
