It will probably re- ceive the undivided support of the high cburch ministers and many advocates among the low church following. The sen. timent of the clergy In the church seems to be against divorce, and a petition to the convention, asking that {t adopt some stringent rule against remarriage under such conditions, has already received the signatures of about 2,000 of the ministers. The canor applying to this point fs as fol- lows: “Canon 13, under title 2, section 2-No ister, knowingly, after due inquiry, shall solemnize the marriage of any per- son who has a divorced husband or wife still living, if such husband or wife has been put away for any cause arising after marwage: but this canon shall not be held to apply to the innocent party in a divorce for the cause of adultery, or to parties once divorced seeking to, be United again, The joint commission on revision which censidered this subject during the past thre rs is composed of Bishop Doane of Albany, Bishop Dudley of Kentucky, Bishop McLaren of Chicago, Bishop Pot- r of New York, Bishop Paret of Maqy- land and Hishop’ Burgess of Quincy, the Rev. Eugene A. Hoffman, the Rev. James S. St the Rey. Hall Harrison, the Rev Babee uport, the Rev.J. Houston Ecc! ston and the Rev. Wiliam R. Huntington and Messrg. W. H. Ligh BE. G. Brad- ford, F. D.

Porto Rico, Manila and po: Philippines e United States @ new jurisdiction for tne Epi u Leaders of the churen are the opinion that the name “The Protes tart Episcopal Church of the United States of America” would stand seriously in t way of t anization of dioceses or mi ary jurisdictions in those territories und in the Cathelie countries of South America. The copal Church here tefore taken the bread ground that, as the Romen Churzh is but another branch of the true church, it was not proper to es- ablish missionary jurisdictions in South erica because of the ecumenical cinon that no bishop should invade the jurisdic- tion of another biskop. It is now argued however, that during the 300 years which the Catholic Church has been established in these cointries it has failed in {ts mis- Sion, and that the time has come for the Episcopal Church to enter the field. It ts therefore desirable that the name be 1 so that bishops in these countries will not be bishops of the “Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America," but bishops of “the church in e matter will be brought before the ntion as a part of the discussion upon the admission of Hawaii as a diocese of the Episcopal Church. At present the Church of England has a missionary juris | Giction there, with Bishop Alfred Woilis In charge, but it is proposed to transfer the diocese from the Anglican to the American urch. All that is needed is the sonsent of Bishop Willis and the Honolulu missio and the creation of a misstonary jurisdi ton. Precedents are furnished by the ca of the preseat bishop of Vermont, who w: t of the diocese of Oxford, Englan elected to the episcopate; and the of the present bishon of New Hamp- shive, who fs a British subject. A petition for the erection of a diocese and the consecration of a bishop in Brazil has been submitted by the Episcopalians of the South American republic. The missionary biskops of North Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho, together with those for other jurisdictions, will be elected. It is not belfeved the proposition to make an archbishop will come before the gather- ing. Practically all the duties of a primate are now performed by the bishop who pre- sides over the convention and who is al- ways the senior fn point of consecration. It Is the intention of the coming conven- tion to agitate the subject of missions and to prepare for a grand missionary move- ment all along the line. The general secre- tary of the board of missions, Dr. Lang- ford, died a year ago, and a proposition will be made to change the character of the work by selecting a number of secre- n taries and dividing and systematizing the entire work of missions. The convention selects certain days on which to sit as a beard of missions Those who will take part in the conyoca- tion are named below. In several jurisdic- tions, which appear in blank in the list given, the elections were not held until a few days ago, and the names have not yet been forwarded to this city. House of Bishops.

General Boynton has made a report to the adjutant general at Camp Thoma: Chickamauga, giving certain observations in answer to the published report of the Sanger board criticising the fitness of Chickamauga Park as a camp site. He expresses regret that various favorable opinions cf regimental officers | testifying to. the healthfulness of the park and the wholesomeness of its water supply were not referred to in the report of the beard, which did not, also, allude to the only analysis, one pronouncing it to be pure, made by the chemist of the Philadelphia board of-health. On the other hand, Gen- eral Boynton says, by authority of the Secretery of War, the Park board had ‘every spring used by the troops analyzed, and all were shown to be pure. General Boynton does not agree with the board's report as to the garbage being “generally burned,” but shows that, there was great laxity in this matter, ‘which continued up to the time the troops guilty of this neglect left the camp. The Park force of laborers is still gathering and burning garbage left by the troops. General Boynton says further that in the camps of the 9th Pennsylvania, 12th New York, 5th Pennsylvania and 12th Minne- sota, regiments of General Sanger’s divis- ion, the sinks were very bad, and so near the’ tents in some cases that swarms of files went back and forth from the tents to the kitchens, and in one case to the officers’ mess. The distance from the kitchens of the 8th New York to the sinks of the men was thirty steps cn one plank and fifty ut the center of the camp, and the sinks were in disgusting condition. ‘The insanitary conditions are quite sufficient to account for disease without condemning the water supply. —_—___+0+—___ Delay in Distributing Prize Money. In answer to many inquiries as to when the Navy Department may be expected to finally dispose of the prize moneys earned by the United States sailors during the war Judge Advocate General Lemly says that the department is waiting only for the certification of the facts from the prize courts, and until they are at hand the department is powerless to proceed with the distribution. g LATE ARMY ORDERS.
