The chair named on behalf of the depu- ties Mr. Morgan, Rev. Edward B. Spalding of California, Rev. Cameron Mann, D. D. of West Missourf®, Rev. John L. Lind D. D., of Massachusetts, and Rev. H. H. Waters, D. D., of Louisiana. The consideration of the calendar was then proceeded with. The petition from American Episcopal churches in Europe asking for a change in the system of Epis- copal eversight now in operation was, on motion of Dr. McKim, referred to a joint committee of five deputies and five bishops. The consideration of the resolution offered by Rev. Mr. Short of Missouri, expressing appreciation of the Czar of Russia's recent overture for a better understanding among nations, was postponed until the end of the calendar. Publicity Demanded. The next question raised a breeze. It had been decided to postpone the consider- ation of the divorce resolution of the Rev. Dr. Taylor of Springfield until other bust- ness on the calendar had been transacted, when Rev. Dr. Davenport of Tennessee moved that when the divorce question did come up it be considered behind closed doors. Several delegat such a cours “If {t means that the press must leav: said Rev. B. W. R. Taylor of Los Angel “I most seriously object.” Hall Harrison of Baltimore was articularly emphatic in opposition to the closed dcors suggestion. He declared that all proceedings should be public. Purity . and he created something sation by inquiring if lad ever requested to leave church after the sixth commandment had been read, in or- der that they should not hear the seventh. Rev. Dr. Hodges of Boston took is with this remark, and the entire qu vas, by a viva voce vote, postponed until ediately before the consideration of the question of marriage and divorce was to be taken up later on. Changes in Constitution, The special order, which was the con- sideration of the sion of the constitu- tion, was then taker up, Mr. Joseph Park- ard, jr. of Maryland taking the chair, while President Dix moved the adoption of proposed new article 4, which rec: mended as follows: “In every dioces? a standing committee shall be appointed by the convention there- 's spoke vigorously against of. When there is a bishop in charge of the diocese the committee shall be his council of advice and when there is no such bishop it shall be the ecclesiastical authority of the diocese for all purposes declared by the general convention and the rights and duties of the standing commit- tees except as provided in the canons of the general convention may be prescribed by the canons of the respective dioccge.” A motion was made to amend the article by providing that the standing committe should be equally composed of clergymen and laymen. Mr. Arthur S. Browne vigorously oppos- ed the amendment, which he i would revolutionize the present sy the majority of dioces ried on a division by a vote of 181 ayes to amendments seeking to improve, in the opinion of their make : ology of the proposed article lost. Dr. Dix having n that the article as p expressed the ed by the | committee meet all the requirements and was perfectly plain. In the discussion of one of these amend- ments Dr. Greer w York suggested | that such grening 2 technicalittes which es of language and not proposed changes in the unnecessary and the real sense of constitution was aluable time. The Article Adopted. There was a demand for a vote and it was taken. The article as printed above, with the exception that the words “constl- tution and’ were inserted before the word non on motion of Mr. McConnell of Louisiana was adopted on a vote by dio- ceses and orders, no ballot being recorded in the negative Article 5 Discussed. Dr. Dix then offered, on behalf of the committee on revising the constitution, a motion to add an article thereto, to be num- numbered 5 and providing for the manner in which new dioc Ss may be formed. Dr. Dix asked Chancellor J. M. Woolworth of Nebraska to conduct the discussion upon this article. It was pointed out by Mr. Henry of Iowa that there were in ambiguities in se tion 1 of the proposed article, and upon mo- tion of Rev. Mr. Tayler of Los Angeles that part of the section containing the ambigu- ities in question was referred back to the committee for correction. The conside jon of the remainder of section 1 was proceeded with and Mr. Louis Hasbrouck of Albany moved to strike out the final provision that no city shall form more than one diocese except that when the civil authority shall consolidate into one city portions of territory belonging to differens dioceses, each portion of said ter- ritory shall remain attached to the diocese to which it previously belonged until a change be made with the consent of the general convention. Interesting Points. Dr. John H. Egar of central New York, member of the constitutional com- mittee, explained that the provision was inserted to meet the conditions in Greater New York, which comprises the two cities New York and Brooklyn, the first being in the diocese of New York and the other in the diocese of Long Island, and there was row much vexatious misunderstanding, the people in Brooklyn not reNiy knowing whether they were under Bishop Potter ot Bishop Littlejohn. The proviso merely intended to permit things to remain as they have been, to al- iow Brooklyn to continue as part of Long Island dfocese until such time, if it ever ar- rived, that Brooklyn might ask to become a part of New York diocese. After further discusssicn, participated in by Rev. Dr. Reese F. Alsop of Brooklyn, Rev. Chancellor Woolworth and others, Mr. Woolworth made a particularly strong argument in favor of having but one bishop in a single city. He called at- tention to London, where he said one bishop governed a diocese more populous than we would ever know in this country. In a city, he said, there was special mu- nicipal government, special laws, special traditions under one directing head, and as the church and state had always gone along on congenial lines tt was Prpper that one head should direct religious hftairs in such a Community. The debate was then suspended until after reces4/ the hour for which was at hand, and ilessdges from the house of bishops wereyreg¢ived an- ncuncing legislation that had been adopted by that body. ; Notes of Interest. | Upon adjournment the deputies were pho- tograpked in a body outside the church. Several announcements were made by Secretary Hutchins, including the follow- ing: The committee on the prayer book will meet at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. The committee cn dioceses will meet at 9 a.m. The alumni of Trinity College resident in Washington have invited visiting alumni to meet them Wednesday, October 12, at 8 o'clock p.m. at Rauscher's. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY, Adjourned Mceting of Officers Trinity Parish Hall. An adjourned meeting of the officers of the diocesan branches of the woman's aux- iliary was held this morning in Trinity Parish Hall, cerner of 3d and C streets northwest. Mrs. Am2s of Rhode Island presided, assisted by Mrs. A. T. Twing, the honorary secretary, and Miss Julia Emery, the general secretary. There was a very large representation of offic=rs pres- ent, fully three hundred ladies occupying seats in the hall and regularly participating in the proceedings. The most important business before th2 meeting today was the question as to the purpose of the next united offering to be collected during the coming three yzars prior and to the next general convention. No determination was reached at the morn- ing session, but the voting upon the matter Was set to oceur during th2 afternoon. Rexolutions Presented. A nuntber of resolutions were introduced bearing upon the disposition of the fund. One was that it should be devoted to mis- sionary work among the colored peopie of the United States; another that it should be divided among the missionary bishop a third that it be added to the enrollment fund to provide a memorial to the late Rev. Dr. Langford, the general secretary of the board of missions, and a fourth that the money be applied to the relief of the aged clergy. That the question Is of considerable im- portance is apparent, in vi2w of the fact that in 1895 the united offering was $53,000, and at this convention it was about $80,000. The last offering was for foreign and do- mestic missions. At the meeting today the discussion of the object to which the united offerings shculd be given occupied the larger por- at Right. Rev.

Woman's Department. The Woman's Auxiliary is the department of the board of mission: was created by the board during the session of general convention, in the city of Baltt- more, in October, 1871, and declared organ- ized by the rev ries of board to whom its committed, at a regular meéting of the board, October, 1872: It aids the board by means of parochial, city, county and dio- cesan associations of ladies, formed for the purpose of raising money, forwarding box- es and otherwise helping on the missions of the church. It meets triennially at the time and place of the meeting of the board of missions. The Woman's Auxili has diocesan branches in every diocese and missionary jurisdiction throvghout the country and in foreign lands, organized under the dire tion or with the approval of the several bishops, and with the advice and assistance of the general officers of the Auxiliar: Any parish society of women in the church working for missions in connection with the Woman’ with the ap- of its re dered a paro- nch of the auxiliary church woman, by virtue of her baptism only, is considered a possible mem- ber of the Woman's Auxiliary, and no oth- er teems of membership are imposed, should she desire to become an actual mem- ber, by aiding the missions of the church, in connection with the auxiliary, by her her prayers, her work and her ‘The general rule does not, how- ever, 1 ude the various diocesan «nd parochial brenches from requiring annual dues from those who wish to connect them- selves with one or more of such local branches.

At the suggestion of the secretary of the auxillary, the Loard of missions, during the session of geaeral convention in Palt!more in 1892, requesicd the board of managers to appoint four committees, made up from the diocesan officers of the auxiliary, one on systematic giving, one on missionary pub- lications, one on missionary workers and one on the junior department of the aux- iliary, to confer with the general officers of the auxiliary with regard to devising and carrying out such plans as may com- mend themselves to the board of missions and to the auxilary generally, “it being understood that the functions of these com- mittecs shall he advisory.!” The nomin.i- tions were made Ly the general and dio- cesan officers at tneir conferenee, October, 1892, and the ncminees were duly appointed by the board of managers. In October, 1895, during the session of general conven. tion in Minneapous, new nominations were made at the olficers’ conference, which were approved py the board of missions, and the nominecs were duly appointed by the board of managers. Its Annual Offerings. The Woman's Auxiliary now reports an annual contribution to the missions of the church of over $350,000 in money and the value of boxes; or over a million «f dollars, in money and the value of boxes, trien- nially. In seeking to approach the aims set before it in 1871, it claims that it has had some share in increasing the funds of the board by its constant effort to pay the sti- pends of all women serving under appoint- ment as missioraries at home and abroad, by its payment of numerous scholarships in South Dakota, China, Africa and Japan, by its frequent gifts to help meet appro- priations of the board for specific objects, as well as by its continual undesignated contributions to the general work. By means of its scholarships, and by help rd of given to theological students from time ta time, it has had a part in the training of missionaries, and this aim nas been i further developed in the establishment of training houses in New York and Philade!- phia, in which it has not been without in- fluence. It has yearly sent to the families of mis- gionaries and to mission schools and sta- tions missionary boxes. Its branches have atded materially in the education of the children of missionaries. Besides these things, it pays insurance dues on the lives of missionaries, and helps in the relief of the aged clergy and of widows and orphans of the clergy; it builds churches, rectories, hospitals and schools, and in its different branches is guided, by the cxpress wish ef the ‘bishop of the diocese and the Gecision of the hranch itself, made wher meeting together for consideration of its work. An important feature of the trienntal meetings of the Woman's Auxiliary is the united service of praise and thanksgiving, and the celebration of the holy communion with which it opens. At this time is m: a united offering from all the dioce: branches, including a gift from all the pa- rochiat branches, and, as far as possible, from every individual member, to be used for some needed object in connection with the work of the board of missions. Mi boxes for this united offering are distrib- uted widely throughout the auxiliary dur- ing the three years preceding the triennial meeting, but with the understanding that their collections are to be over and above the regular contributions of members of the auxiliary to the board of missions, and also over and above the additiona! work undertaken by the auxiliary itself in the course of the three years. General Secretary Emery nominated, and the meeting approved the four committees which act in an advisory capacity toward the general secretary. Each committee has nine members, but Miss Emery only nomina six new ones upon each today, leaving three of the old members in office,.in order to impart their knowledge and experience to the others.

Church Yesterda The ordination of a Japanese candidate for orders, the anniversary meeting of the American Church Missionary Society and the sermon of the bishop of California be- fore the board of missions were the princi- pal events which interested the members of the Episcopal convention in the city terday. There were also in all the churches of that denomination special services by a bishop or prominent divine, as previously announced in The Star. The ordination of John Kochinnera Ochiai, a Japanese, as a deacon occurred in the morning at St. Paul’s Church, 23d street. The ceremony was performed by Right Rev. W. E. McLaren, D. D., bishop of Chicago, in which city Mr. Ochiai has been living during the past five years, and Rev. W. D. Gold, D. D., dean of the West- ern Theological Seminary at Chicago, pre- sented the candidate. Among those present besides the officiat- ing bishop and priests were Bishop McKim of Tokio, a Japanese naval attache, Mr. Osuga, who is studying educational prob- lems in this country, and Mme. Watanabe and Miss Tsuda. These two Japanese la- dies are professors in the Peeress School in Japan, and, on recommendation of the empress, came first to Denver, where they attended tne meetings of the Federation of Women’s Clubs, and then were delegated to attend the Woman's Auxiliary meeting in_this a Mr. Ochiai is thirty years old.

The American Church Missionary Soci ORDAINED. Paul's P. anniversary meeting was held in Epip! Church at 4 p.m. yesterday. The speakers were Bishop Dudley of Kentucky, Rev. J. G, Meem, missionary to Brazil, and Gen. Wager Swayne, president of the society. The society's work was explained by Bishop Dudley, who said: “The American Missionary Society exists in the church today, not in any sense as an opponent of the board of missions, but as an au. ry to that body. It could not go out of existence even were it desirable for it to do so, because it holds large sums in trust, and these trust funds could not be turned over to y one else. But it is far from desirable for the society to cease to It is the exponent of the voluntary le of giving, for which there is abun- dant authority in the Bible. The interest in issions is in proportion to the knowledge which people have of the work that is be- ing done, and of those who are doing it. They desire to give to a concrete object, not to something that is to them an abstrac- tion. They desire to know just what is done with the money that they contribute and they wish to indicate how that money is to be expended.” Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim announced that the offering would be for the benefit of the missions in Brazil. CHURCH UNITY SOCIETY. Meeting Wednesday Evening Next at St. John’s Church. Among the important services of the Protestant Episcopal convention during this week will be that to be held Wednes- day night at S o'clock of the Church Unity Society at St. John’s Church, 16th and H streets.

The Evening Star Accounts Will Pre- sent a Complete History. The Evening Star has made arrange- ments to completely cover the proceedings of the Episcopal convocation which began its sessions in this city Wednesday, and as has always been the case with large gath- erings here, the best way for residents and visitors to retain a full and complete his- tory of the important church meeting is to secure copies of The Star covering the period during which the convocation is in session. These papers will be mailed di- rectly frera the office to home addresses for subscribers, and in this way delegates can keep friends and family at home informed day by day of what is going on in the big meeting. The questions coming up before the convention are of tremendous impor- tance to the Episcopal Church, and mem- bers of the church everywhere are watch- ing the pro®tedings with interest. The Star accounts will keep them as well informed as if they were here taking part. The Star will be mailed to any address for the three weeks covering the convention from Octo- ber 4, for thirty-five cents, postage prepaid.

The new eight-room building fer this div sion should be located at some point within the following boundaries: M and O and North Capitol streets northwest, prefer- ably near North Capitol and M streets, The location of this building could afford relief to the overcrowded buildings and accessible accommodation to many of the school population that have not as yet been en- rolled on the schools. “In the Randall building, Ist and 2 streets southwest, eleventh division, there are ten school rooms, of which two are basement room: d both of them very poorly ventilated. The number of schools located in these ten rooms fs sixteen. To accommodate them six rooms are used by twelve schools, among which are those of fourth and third grades. The remaining three school buildings in South Washing- ton have each more schools than schocl reoms, and all schools in them below the third grade, and even the third grade in the Bell building, have half-day occupancy of the school room.

Washington is not the only city where the members of the fire department have been annoyed by the turning in of false alarms. In Baltimore the annoyance has been so bad that the fire commissioners took up the matter and offered a reward of $100 for the apprehension of the offend- ers. The result of the investigation of a recent case was the arrest of several small colored boys. When taken into custody the boys admitted their guilt, and Saturday the magistrate before whom they were tried held them for trial. Irving D. Coldenbach, Edward Warden and Mary A. McElroy were participants in a street fight Saturday night and were ar- rested by Policeman Witt. The man for feited their collaterals in court this morn- ing and the woman appeared for trial. Disorderly conduct and affray were the charges against the woman. She went down, as she was unabls to pay a fine of $8. Four violators of the bicycle regulations forfeited collateral in the Police Court to- day. They were Henry Jackson, John Al- corn, Horace Burrow and William Sailor. Two of them paid $5 each and the others paid $3 each. Fast riding was the charg> against them. a Anticipating November Interest. The Treasury Department today began to anticipate the November interest on 3, 4 and 5 per cent coupon bonds. The interest on the regiztered bonds of the same class will be anticipated by the 20th of this month. The object of these early pay- ments is to put in circulation more money and keep the money situation easy. The total interest payments on the bonds men- tioned will be $3,500,000. sere See Souvenirs for Bond Force. Assistant Secretary Vanderlip of the Treasury Department recently conceived the idea of presenting each one of the em- ployes engaged under his direction on the war bond issue with a memorial letter of thanks, containing a handsomely engraved representation of the new city post office building, where the force has been at work.
