eral tone OF the coloring, however, match
ing that OF the surrounding spruce foii-
age. The interior, 1t the bottom, was
lined with delicate strips OF inner bark
and rootlets. Near the top were feathers OF
the rufYied grouse, hermit thrush and
ovenbird, arranged with the points Of the
quilts down, the tips rising slightly above
the rim and curving inward, so as to
form screen for the eggs. The second
nest was closely canopied bv the spruce

1.-THE ground color Of the eggs varies
from cream white to Q deep. muddy
cream-color. Over this are varied mark
ings OF pale wood brown, these, in turn,
being the background for sharper mark
ings OF lavender. In both nests the eggs
were too numerous to find room on the
bottom OF the nest, and were piled in too
layers" Incidentally, it would be inter-
esting to know how the little birds man
age to turn these nine or ten eggs so as to
secure equable heat.]
'These nests were found by watching
the birds while building; task OF no
little difficulty in these dense spruce
woods where the light was dim, even at
MONDAY. Moreover, the movements OF
this little architect were cratic and
puzzling to the last degree. We
finally found that her almost invariable
custom was to approach the nest by short
flights and devious courses, ana, upon
reaching it, to dash In, deposit and
arrange her load in from two to four sec

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 s p. m. An effort to make
the time for the next meeting the third
Tuesday in November was lost by 4
close vote. A paper was adopted in
dorsing the Synod's orphan home in
Lynchburg, and commenting it to the
liberaity OF the people. The commit
tee appointed to consider the communi-
cation from voluntary conference OF
ministers and officers OF evangelical
churches, recommended the following
reply:
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 I'M
doubtedly impossible, under present
conditions, to attain to the organic
union OF all who love the truth, we
should all seek to present a 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 fullncss OF Christ. We recon-
mend that Rev. Russell Cecil, D. D.,
Rev. G. B. Stricken, d. d., and Rev.
George /. Petrie, D. D., with Ruling
Elders G. T.. Christian, Thomas B.
Gresham and George Randolph Cannon
he appointed, in accordance with the
request in the communication, to at
tend the conference proposed, and that
DR.. Cecil be appointed a member OF
the committee OF arrangements. In
appointing these delegates 70 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 lie 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"

geles that that inquest had been in
definitely postposed 'on account OF

SUCCESS MAGAZINE has issued 4 pre-
liminary forecast of the approaching
congressional election in. the S9l dis
tricts and gives the following rs sum
mary: Republicans, 100; democrats,
1853; close, probably republican, 80;
close, probably democratic, p; total,
probably republican, 1879; total, prob
ably democratic, 1879; doubtful, IS.
The extraordinary closencss of this
coming contest is shown by the prcdicSS
ton that 16S districts will certainly be
represented by democrats, and q more
will probably be democratic, giving Il
total reasonably sure democratic mem
bership Of lS9; while the republican
party will certainly elect 16O members
and will probably elect 30 more, giving
a reasonably sure total OF 1S9-eyactly
the same number There are thirteen
districts in the country liz which there
is so even 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 tabulatcd statement
Virginia is given S democrats, l repub-
lican and l doubtful. The figures
given out by the democratic campaign
committee, however, give safe demo-
cratic majority and these latter figures
are much more likely to be correct.

Wellman Says He Is Determined to be

On Board Royal Mail Steamer Trent,

am going across the Atlantic in diri-
gible balloon. Far from disheartening
me, this failure has only spurred me to
higher ambitions. 1t 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 / made
my first attempt at the North Pole. 1t
will have to be new type of dirigible
that will be used, but even while the
America was drifting helpless and
nearly total wreck above the waters
of the Atlantic, Vaniman and myself
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 deiicacies. 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
alrship 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 difficult to
task to have kept the heavy life boat
afioat 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 l:3O
and was expected to reach her pier by
about four O'Clock this afternoon.

!, renewal of theaattempt. WeIlman,

a renewal OF tbeHattempt. Wellmah,
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
dirigible, bigger and more powerful
than the iIl-fated one that was abandon
ed early yesterday off Cape Hatteras.
The warmcst boosters of the prop
osition are the very men who derided
Wellman during the days he kept the
big America" in its hangar. They
have overwhelmed Joseph Salus, head
OF the party; that originally financed
WelIman, with offers of financial as
sistance. The result is that today Salus
has 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
rs soon as possible for conference.

BRYAN IN INDIANA.

Bryan's speaking tour Of southern
Indiana hes 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 degree that
puts other democratic speakers in the
shade. At Evansville, Owensvilie,
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,
Somerville 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.

Holland Nominated.
Especial Dispatch to the Gazette.


Suffolk, Oct. 19.-E. E. Holland was
nominated for Congress by the Second
district democratic convention on the
5O4th ballot. At 1905 O'Clock James
Trehy. leader OF the Young forces, an
nounced that enough Young votes had
been switched from Deal to Holland to
secure his election. This announce
ment came as great surprise to the
convention which had never contem-
plated any such action on the part OF
Young, looking rather to Deal or even
Maynard for their necessary votes. AS
matter of fact the wise ones never ex-
pected to see Holland secure vote
from any of the others, expecting to see
Deal or a dark horse chosen. The
dark horse was made almost impossible
yesterday by the action Of the commit
tee in ruling that no votes could be
cast for outsiders, and Deal was ex-
pected to pull in the plum in the course
of time. The excitement when Trehy
made his announcement was intense.

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 dccisivcly by the
house of deputies at the trieulial con-
vrnton OF that body now in session in
Cincinnati.
Ihc negroes have long wanted a
bishop of their own. but the vote yes
tcrduy was of such a character rs 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 n dire disaster, rs 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 AZ
years misguidance to undo.
The negroes cannot grasp the idea
OF the church rs yet Their religion a,
the present tune is mostly emotional
and | believe that the passage of thi.
amendment would be fatal in regard tc
the negroes.
The House Of Deputies named it
members OF the joint commission or
social services. Clifford Pinchot, jacob
Reiss, Samuel Mather, Roland S
Morris and w. Fallows Morgan con
stitutc the laity division, while Rev
George Hodges, Rev. Howard MeIish
Rev. Frank Nelson, Rev L. E. Parsor
and Rev Walter n. Sumner are TIT
members from the clerical division.
The House Of Deputies also passet
the canon regarding missionary worl
with the provision that tie presidcn
of the board Of missions be elected t.
a six-year term instead OF three as a
first proposed.
In the House o. Bishops yesterda!
the provision that gives clergyman
latitude in marrying the innocen
party to any divorce was repealed. The
canon now holds that divorced mem
bcrS Of the church cannot marry.
