John London: laymen, Chas. N. Stanley, Dr. W. W. Duvall, John Marbury. Bishop's Addre: The bishop then read his annual address. At the outset the bishop expressed his ap- prectation of the forbearance that has been shown him by the clergy and laity during this first year of his episcopate, and the kiitd co-operation which has come from all sides in his efforts to build up the work of this new diocese. He stated that during the past year his time has been iargely and chiefly occupied in studying and in- vestigating the religious, social and finan- cial condition of the diocese, the real re- lations between the city and county par- ishes, the heads of missionary work and the comparative value of the different op- portunities that are before the diocese. He added that perhaps it was too early to form a judgment on this subject, and he had concluded to wait until he knew more bape the real facts and their correla- ion. The bishop stated that there are now on the clergy list one bishop, seventy-four priests and nine deacons. © He paid a tribute to Rev. W. H. Laird of Montgom- ery county, Md., and Rev. Geo. W. Wil- liams, assistant minister in Rock Creek Parish, who died during the year. The bishop confirmed during the year 925 persons. Reference was made to the open- ing of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, and the newly formed diocesan organization of the Daughters of the King and the Giris’ Friendly Society were com- mended. Reference was also made to the helpful work done during the past year by the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,the Churen- men’s League, the Woman's Auxillary, the St. Monica League for work among tne colored people and the St. Mark’s League. The bishop laid emphasis upon the im- portance of keepizg parish registers and all records and papers of the vestry in safety, and added that a church safe {s almost as great a necessity as a church bell. He also spoke of the importance to a parish of an ideal treasurer. Such an officer, he said, added to the efficiency of the work of the rector. He expressed the hope that at this or come succeeding convention a commit- tee will be appointed to consider and re- port upon the subject of safeguarding church endowment funds, so that encour- agement will be given to persons to leave bequests in their wills to the parish church. He said that many were restrained from doing this by the insecurity of parochial endowment funds. Church of Rome.

Anglican orders are invalid, and stated that it was at first supposed that this ac- tion was taken in response to a formulated request, but it now appears, he added, that no such request has ever been made, either authoritatively or. by any prominent mem- ber of the Anglican communion. The bishop said that the bull of Leo XIII was instinctively felt by the sober-minded clergy and laity cf the church to be noth- ing less than an uncalled for act of intru- sion upon the home life of the national churches of England and America. The historic reasons set forth In the order, the bishop added, are insufficient to justify this course, and it is perhaps not too much to say, he concludes, that the Bishop of Rome by this last act has isolated the papacy and cut it off from all participation in the coming reunion of Christendom. Also his letter will serve to create a more general recognition and better understanding of the historic character of the Anglican com- munion. The Eastern Question. Reference was made to the sufferings of “our brethren in Christ in the far east,” &nd the recommendation was made that esrrest and continuous intercession be made to Ged in their behalf “until this ty- renny be over past.” The bishop discussed the question how the clergy are to meet and satisfy the ideal of the house of God as a spiritual home, and reached the con- clusion that however beautiful and useful the Hturgical features may be they are all subordinate to the central idea of a hcuse of prayer and a service of prayer. He said that it should be the supreme effort of the clergy to cultivate a prayerful spirit amcng the members of the congregation. Business Transacted. Mr. 8. W. Tulloch and Rev. H. Fields Saumenig were appointed assistant sec- retaries. Fifty-six clergymen answered to their names and forty-three laity. Petitions to organize were received from the parishes of St. Margaret, Potomac and Rock Creek and referred to the appropriate committee. An invitation was read by the secretary from the bishop to all the clerical and lay members of the convention, their wives and families, to a reception at his home be- tween 6 and 7 this afternoon. The hours to be observed by the con- vention were adopted as follows: Morn- session, at 10 a.m.; reces3, from 1 to 2 o'clock, afternoon session, from 2 to 5, and evening session, at 8 o'clock. Episcopal Fund. The report of the trustees of the Epis- copal fund was made and contained the following figures: So far collected, $34,- 610.: unpaid subscriptions, churches, $7,653.64; individuals, $11,302; old endo-v- ment fund recsived for the diocese of Maryland, $12,112.90; Mrs. C. S. Keer! leg- acy, $33,148.01. Total collected, $79,871.23. In addition to the abcve there has. been received as the proportion of the accumu- lating Episcopal fund belonging to this diocese received May 6, but not incorporat- ed in above account, $2,446.97. The in- come from the above described endow- ment funds from May 1, 1806, to May 1, 1897, was $5,295.10. Amount paid S. W. Tulloch, treasurer, was $4,937.54, leaving a balance May 1, 1897, of $357.65. The report states that the estimated in- come of the variovs funds for the next year, including that from the proportion received from Maryland of the accumulat- ing Episcopal fund, is $5,440, and the en- gagement for salary and house rent cf bishop is $7,000, besides other necessary expenditures for salary of the secretary and expenses of the convention, leaving the balance to be made up from ass2ss- mentza in the different parishes. In relation to the resolution. referred at the last convention to the trustees, provid- ing that the Keerl legacies be divided among several funds, and in view of the deficiency as pointed out in their statement of the Episcopal endowment fund, the trustees report that it would be decidedly inexpedient to pass the resolution referred to. Theseport further adds that after cor- respondence with the committee appointed by the convention of the Maryland diocese to take charge of the Keerl estate, the trustees are able to approximate the amount of the funds and the value of the property in the hands of said committee for division and partition between the dio- cese of Maryland and the diocese of Wash- ington: Cash, $55,304.28; ground rents, $22,- 020.84; lands in Tennessee in course of sale, $6,000; lands in. trus- tees, the value of which ‘cannot. bea ited.

Arrested as a Suspect After ai citing Chane. “My name is Mike John,” said a colored man who was held last night behind -the bars at the ninth precinct station on a charge of “suspicion,” but what he was suspected of the record did not show. “I spell my name M—i—k—e, Mike; J—o—h—n, John, but write it M. K. John,” the owner of the name ex-Jained. Mike is a tall man, not yet thirty years old, and he figured in an affair yesterday the excitement attending which was cal- culated to turn his hair white. Early last evening, a little before 7 o'clock, the colored man, whose mind seems somewhat deranged, was seen in the neighborhood of Langdon, and this in it- self was calculated to get him in trouble, for the people of that village have had enough of tra.p7. But, in addition to be- ing there, he was seen by Policeman Phil Brown. Mike also saw Brown, and he did not wait to speak with him, but made haste to get beyond the District line imo Maryland. The officer went in pursuit and fired his pistol in the air, the shot having the effect of making the fugitive run all the faster. He took to the woods near the reform school, and might have escaped but for his contact with a citizen who carried a gun. The citizen stopped him by a blow on bis head with the gun, and he threw up his hands. unable to realize why he had been so roughly handled. He had not done anything, he said, but he went with the officer to the station. It was believed by the police that he was possibly John, alias Bud, Scott, or Owen Bowiew beth: of whom are wanted in Maryland for saurder. ‘The blow inflicted with the:gunchad made a slight cut in the prisoner's head, and this was dressed after he E Police station.

A NEW BUILDING President McKinley Opposed to En- larging the White House. WANTS ANOTHER STROCTORE RAISED Favors an Executive Mansion Near- er the Treasury. SOME CURRENI OPINIONS SSeS President McKinley has some fairly well- matured ideas uf his own on the subject of @ new building as an addition to the White House. Further than that he hopes to see something done during his administration. The President is understood to be op- posed to the plan of enlarging the White House, as outlined !n yesterfay’s Star. He dces not want to see the White House touched. He does believe that more room is needed, but he does not see the neces- sity of really extensive improvements, cost- ing a large sum of money. What the President wants to see is a new building between the White House and the treasury building, this to be used as an executive mansion, the White House to be left exclusively for the official headquar- ters of the chief executives. Among the many Congressmen who visit the White House there is almost an una- nimity of sentiment that something ought a new building. The idea is gaining ground every day, and is frequently discussed ty the legislatcrs. A Star reporter has talked with some of tke White House callers. There is a wide divergence of views as to exactly what ought to be done, but no dif- ference that something should be done. Of course, it is not believed that the pres- ent session of Congress will take up the matter, but several Congressmen intimate that when the regular session begins in De- cember they will bring the subject bezore that body in the shape of a bill. The President may have something to say in some message to Congress. Col. Bingham, superintendent of public build- ings and grounds, stands realy to ect on any request of Congress. Senator Thurston said to a Star reporter: “Something ought to be done. I have been impressed with the plan said to have been drawn for Mrs. Harrison when she was in the White House. That plan provided for a beautiful quadrangular building.” He was not in favor of any change, Lowever, which would in any way mar the present building. = Senator Hawley expressed himself as favoring a new building between the White House and State, War and Navy building. The green houses could be moved to the south The new building would do, he said, for the executive offices, while the Present buliding would be the Executive Marsion. Senator Wilson: “I want to see improve- ments of some kind, but have not had any particular plan in view. I think an eleva- tor is also needed in the White House.” Senator Burrows: “I think the best plan would be to build a new Executive Man- sion in the rear of the White House, using the present building for executive offices, etc. A beautiful court could be made in the center.” Senator Hanna said he thought the build- ing of a new residence for the President’s family would be the best plan, jeaving ‘ne White House as the official nome of th= President. Senator Elkins: “I believe in an out and out new building. I am now considering some plans which have been spoken of.” Senator Spooner also favors something being done. He is well posted on the sub- ject, having investigated it when the ques- tion was ulmper consideration some yeurs ago. CONDENSED LOCALS In front of the power house cf the Met- tropolitan electric road in East Washing- ton there is a large pond of stagnant water. While this water is much clearer than what is called Potomac fluid, the residents of that section do not use it, and they are anxious to get rid of it before the hot weather sets in. Moonlight rides in the Soldiers’ Home grounds are enjoyed by wheelmen, but the rules require that the gates be closed at 9 o'clock p.m. This is to prevent those outside at that hour from entering, but it does not mean that those who are in the grounds cannot get out. Last night three enthusiastic young wheelmen got lost while riding through the grounds snd it was nearly 10 o'clock when they reached the gate. Much to their surprise, the xateman permitted them to pass out, and they did not have to jump the fence. Yesterday afternoon abot 3 o'clock Lo- renzo Ball, twenty years old, was taken sick near Pennsylvania ave. and 14th street southeast. He was taken by the police to Providence Hospital for treatment.
