In an editorial on the subject the Times says: “The whole conspiracy, Whether carried on by mealy-mouthed gentlemed who sit at London dinner-tables or by tlends who organize arson and murder, 1s one and indivisible. It is paid out of the samé purse, worked by the same men, directed to the same ends, and inspired by one universal hatred of England ‘and a deter- mination to bring about, if possible, a complete separation between England and Ireland, Whether the money goes to support the Gladstonians in paritament of to equip desperadoes tor the com- mittal of outrages in Engilsh towns, tsa mei matter of tactics. Whenever we flud the constitu. tonal agitators with the mask laid aside, as in the case of Mr. Davitt at Bodyke, we tind that their language, sentiments, and alms are identical with those of the ruftians by whose support they live and whom they in parliament pretend to be ignorant of.” —_.—__ OBRIEN’S COURSE.

In this way the physician avolded a dis- cussion Of the question whether Mr. Corcoran had paralysis or not. ‘The physicians have placed Mr, Corcoran on an abstemlous diet. He had toast and tea for breakfast, and has been allowed to re- fresh himself during the day on broth. ‘THIS AFTERNOON callers continued to ascend the front steps of the ‘fine old mansion on Lafayette Square, and to leave Messages of sympathy. Admiral Porter, George Bancroft, the venerable historian, and other dis- Unguishéd friends of the invaltd Were among the callers. Mr. “Anthony Hyde, who visited the house several times during the day, said to @ Stan re- porter this afternoon that’ it there was any change at all it Was for the better. Mr. Corcoran, he said, was cheerful and his mind was perfect clear. "The only thing against the ioral Be in his sou was iils extreme age. year. ‘THE NUMBNESS MAY CONTINUE. Dr. Hagner sald toa Sram reporter this afver- noon that this was the first attack’ of the kind that Mr. Corcoran had ever had. His health and vigor had been wonderful. “This is, perhaps, the beginning,” he sald, “of the breaking down of Mis nervous system. ‘There is no change, no increase and no diminution in the numbness, but that may continue for several days, If it should go continue Wwe would not consider it necessarily a bad sign. It will be likely to continue until the Upon the prain ts relleved by absorption, His con- ition is not considered crivcal. In fact, this attack would be considered slight tf the subject were a younger man, We cannot say much about it now.

Churchmen in Session at Trinity Church To-day. ‘The Convocation of Washington convened this ‘morning at Trinity P.B. church, The territory of ‘the convocation embraces the District of Colum Dia, and Prince George, Montgomery, Charies, and St. Mary's Counties, Md., and the representation to the convocation consists of clerical and lay Gelegates from each parish. The business session Was preceded by the celebration of the Holy Com- munion, the dean of the convocation, Rev. Dr. Ad- ison, officiating, assisted by Rev. Wm. H. Butler, of Prince County, and Rev. T. M. Ambier, ot Teonardtows, Ata, sf ELECTION OF OFFICERS. ‘The convocation was called toorder. The nomi- Ration of officers was then announced tobe in order, and Rev. Dr. Addison was nominated for residing officer. ‘There being no other nomina- fons, by order of the convocation the secretary Was directed to cast the ballot. Dr. Addison ex- ressed is thanks for the honor conferred upon im. Jie said that he had found that 1t Tequired considerable time to become acquainted with the duties of the office, and he hoped that during the Coming year he would improve in ficiency. “Rev. Henry Thomas, of Poolesville, Md. was the only nominee for secretary, and was élected. Rev. F. A. Steele, of this city, Wwas elected treasurer. THE DEAN'S REPORT. ‘The dean safd that he supposed the next thing in order Was his report. He added that he was elected dean in June last, and then gave a detatled statement of the parishes visited by him and the services held. AU the request of the bishop he Made @ statement of the amounts paid to the diocesan imissions, and the assessments of the Farlous parishes. He said that he had a Ust showing the payments made, but he did not think that it would be necessary to read the list of the deficient parishes, although he thought the bishop wished him to do so, The ammount of the assessment in this convocation was $3,410, and the amount paid up to May Ist was $3,178.75, making a deficiency of $231.25. This was a Very stuall deficiency compared with that of other convocations, and he thought that 1t was a Yery gratifying shcwing. Some of the parishes had not paid their assessment, because they had eo one to pay it to. For instatice the Silver Spri Parish had io rector, and the assessment of $40, had not been paid for this reason. At Rockville the affairs of that parish were in rather an unsettled condition and its assessment of $50 was still due, He thought that both of these amounts would be paid, that the reports ordered to be The dean said printed at the last meeting upon the relations of the convocation to the diocese in several particu lars had not been printed, because this matter had been relerred by the bishop to a committee of the diocese, and, as that was the higher body, their action would be inal, Under these ciroum: stances be had thought that 1t was not worth ‘While to have the reports printed. REY. MR. STERLR’S PROPOSITION. Rev. Mr. Steele sald that the meeting of the con- Vocation had not been satisfactory, and the work tobedonehad not been accomplished. He was not prepared to go asfar as the Dishop, and confine the business of the convocation only to mission Work, but still he thought some change ought to be made. He would therefore move that a com- mittee consisting of three clergymen and two lay- men be appointed to consider the whole subject of the work und organization of the convocation, and Teport at the next seml-annual meeting whether Chunges proposed at, the last diocesan convention, or any other changes, be desirable, in order that changes desired by this convocation may be sub- mitted to the committee of the convention huving the subject in their charge, ‘Mr. Meloy, of the committee to which this mat. ter had been! referred at a previous meeting, sald that an effort in the direction of a change in the organization of the convocation had been begun three years His committee had made a re- Port, which the last convocation had not taken action upon, and he thought that this resolution was simply to continue what had been continued for such a long time. Rev. Mr. Stecle said he was in favor of speedy action, but the committee referred to had made a majority and minority report; but he did not Suppose that the convocation wanted to act upon these reports. If they did so, he was to withdraw his regolution in favor of the report. Several delegates thought that the adoption of ‘Mr. Steele's resolution was not necessary, as the former reports could be printed and action taken at the next meeting. The entire matter havin been very fully discussed, Rev. Mr. Steele sal that in view of what had been sald he would with- draw his resolution. After the resolution was withdrawn, upon motion of Rev. Mr. Harrold, the secretary Was instructed to have the two reports Printed, and the subject would be considered at the next meeting. ‘THE PARISH OF BT. LUKE'S. Rev. Dr. Elliott, from the committee appointed for that purpose, reported that they had not trans- ferred to the parish of St. Luke's their church build- ing, for the reason that the lawsof the District and the'chureh fn regurd to incorporation had not been. complied with, ‘The rector ‘of St. Luke's, Rev. Dr. Crummell, stated that owing to variots circumstances this matter had not been attended to, but that it would be at an early day. FINANCIAL. Rev. J. B. Williams called attention to the fact that the dean had paid over to the bishop the funds of the convocation instead of the treasurer paying over such moneys,as the rules required. He Stated that hedid not iutend to reflect upon the dean, but he simply wished to call attention to the thatter. ‘The dean said that the bishop directed one thing and the convocation directed another thing. Under the present circumstances the regulations of the convocation were in a rather hazy condition, and, Owing Co the fact that they had been referred toa committee, 1t was dimcuit to know exactly ‘What the relations of the convocation to the dio- cesan convention was, It was also a question whether the convocation had any rights or was a mere creature of the bishop. He hoped that all these questions would soon be adjusted. ‘A resolution of regret at the withdrawal of Rev. Mr, Andrews from the convocation was adopted, Hev. Alexander McCabe, the editor of the Mary- land Churchmen, addressed the convocation in the Interests ofthe paper. AU 1:30 o'clock the eGnvocation adjourned for lunch, “which was served by the ladies of the church inthe Sunday school room, ‘The session ‘was resumed again at 2:30, DELEGATES PRESENT. ‘The following delegates were present: Clerical—Revs. Mr. Avirett, Brayshaw, Butler, Buck, Clark, Crummell, Davenport, Elliott, Falls, Gray, Grimth, Harrold’ Hutton, Hundly, Hyland, indsa: ual rhom: lownsent vi Am- bier, ahd Claiborne, Ly Delegates—G.
