It was the open- ing session of the sixth annual convention of the National Spiritualistic Associtaion. President Harrison D. Barrett of Boston, Mass., presided. The session opered with the singing of the association hyma, “Death's Stream Bridged,” to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne,” and at its conclusion Mrs. Cora L. V. Richmond, vice president of the association, pronounced the invoca- tion. She was followed by President Bar- rett, who briefly welcomed the delegates and outlined the work that had been ac- complished during the past year. Another hymn, and Mrs. Richmond delivered the formal address of welcome. Mr. Moses Hull of Buffalo, a venerable member of the association, replied at length, rehearsing the great benefi of spiritualism and in- voking the delegates to go forth from the convention to work. H» spoke of Wash- ington as a typical meeting place for the a ation. reference was flected the feeling applauded, and re- the delegates on the proposed amendment to the constitution which chang the meeting place from Washington to such city as shall ke desix- nated by the convention. Appointments Deferred. The president announced the next busi- ness to be the appcintment of committees, but said he would defer that until the ecmmittee on credentials had reported, be- cause he was not familiar with the names ot the delegates and did not wish to slight any section. He tlen named the commit- tee on credentials, which consists of J. B. Halch, jr., of Maryland, D. P. Dewey of Michigan and H. C. Dorn of New Jersey. The committee retired and promptly set about examining the credentials of the clegates. ‘The committee cn rules was also an- neunced, to consist of Thos. M. Locke of Pennsylvania, C. D. Pruden of Minnesota c. and B. M. Broadbury of Maine. Later in the day {t was announced that the committee on credentials would not be able to report until 2:30 o'clock, and the convention thereupon took a recess until that time. It Is understood there will be some warm debates when the committee on credentials makes its report. There is to be a lively fight for the position of president and s retary. These positions pay, respectivel $1,500 and $1,200 per annum, and there is said to be a clique anxious to turn out the old officers and elect their favored friends. The Program.

Merritt. third assistant postmaster general, has been made public. The postal revenus for the year was $89,012,61) Of this sum $85,029,076.96 was from the sale of postage stamps, envelopes, newspaper wrappers and postal cards. The expenditures for the year aggregated $08,033,523.61, making an excess of expenditures over receipts of $9,020,905.08. Among the important recommendations of Gen. Merritt is on2 relating to the spe- cial delivery system. In this, connection he say “There are two defects at present in the special delivery system to which I desir to call your attention, with a view to their remedy. The first is the prohibition of the law against payment of special delivery to any salaried employe of first and s3 post offices. Tt occasionally 1 that letters could be more prompt ly delivered than now if janitors or pc ters or even clerks off duty at offic: these grades could be utilizea to delivery where there {s no regular spec delivery messenger employed; &nd in such cases there is no good r2ason for the pro- hibition. Quite a number of ‘cases have come before me in which the serv would have been improved ff postmasters ad been allowed to employ and pay for deliv- ery effected by some salaried employe. “Tha other defect is the want of author- ity to allow car fare in large cities and in extreme cases. When a ‘special delivery letter gets to a large post office for deliv- ery though one of its stations it has to be h2ld unul the next departure of the mail messenger wagon; fer it would be a great hardship and in many cases would accom- plish rothing ta require a special delivery messenger boy to take the letter at onve and walk anywher: from, say, five to ten miles to deliver it. If the wagon service be not frequent, then long delay results; if the last letter for the day has left the lettzr is held until the next morning. A great many cases of this kind have actual- ly arisen and are constantly occurring, causing embarrassment and loss and just complaint. Most of this could be avoided if messengers in unusual could be allowed car fare. It is to be rememb:red, too, that the special delivery system now pays the government over $100,000 a year; that if car fare allowances were made in the cases referred to they would not prob- ably cmount in any one year for the whole country to over $10,000, leaving the service sull handsomely remunerative.” The weight of second-class matter sent through the mails during the year (not in- cluding matter circulated free) was 336,- 126,335 pounds. This is an increase of 25,- 5 pounds and in postage collected, ommendation for a two-cent Ivtter rate postage on letters (o foreign countries, printed in full in The Star of yesterday, is also made part of th2 report. ARREST OF JAMES FLOOD. State Department Surprised at Action at San Francisco. The officials of the State Department ex- pressed a great deal of surprise today at the reports of the arrest in San Frasicisco of James Flood. Flood appears to hav2 gotten into difficulty at Kobe, Japan, the charge oeiag embezzlement of bank funds, so far as the Gepartment here knows. He started for the United States, and while he was on the way United States Consul Lyon, at Kobe, notified the State Department that he had directed the United States marshal at San Fr:ncigco to arrest Flood upon his arrival at that port. This was a very un- usual proceeding, in view of the fact that the alleged offense was committed In Japan and the Japenese government had not teken aay steps to prosecute Flood. The cecnsul based his action on the allegation that Flood wes a fugitive from the con- suiar court at Kobe. This does not, ho ever, alter the legal aspect of the case, nd it is net plain that Flood can be detained by the California judicial authorities. Commutation of Rations. The Secretary of War has issued an order to the army prohibiting disbursing officers of the subsistence department from paying con:mutatioa of rations at,p cents per lay in the case of troops furloughed for thirty or sixty days prior to orders for muster out. The con:mutations of rations due on such furloughs will be paid by, paymasters vpen final discharge or mustér out upon presentation of the furloughs‘by those to whom granted. ov f ‘W. 8.

Gen. Guy V. Henry, who is a brigadier general of volunteers and colonel of the 10th Regular Cavalry, has been designated for appointment as brigadier general in the regular army, to fill the vacancy caused by the recent retirement of Gen. J. J. Coppin- ger, major general of volunteers and briga- dier general of regulars. Gen. Henry's commiss:on has been made out at the War Department and forwarded to the Presi- dent for his signature. Inasmuch as the President directed the commission to be prepared, there is no doubt as to his sign- ing it. Gen. Henry is now in Porto Rico, commanding a division of Gen. Brooke’ army of occupation. He undoubtedly fig- ured prominently in today’s ceremonies at San Juan in connection with the formal transfer of the government of the island to the United Stat prevails at the War Department tha will shortly succeed Maj. Gen. Brooke as military governor of Porto Rico, pending the establishment of a regular territorial government. Gen. Brooke has indicated a desire to return to the United States as scon as he can be spared, and the War Department is poscd to accommodate him in this mat- ter. The question of the government of Porto Rico will be taken up by the Presi- dent immediately after his return from the jubilee celebration in Chicags Gen. Henry has an_ exceptionally fine record as a soldier, and is universally re- garded as one of the ablest officers in the army. He served with distinction in the il war, and subsequently in campaigne against the Indiars, and was an active participant in the following engagements: Bull Run, Pocotaligo, Morris Island, siege of Fort Wagner, Olustee, Bermuda Hun- dred, Drewry’s Bluff, Cold Harbor, siege of Petersburg, in the battles of Rosebud Creek, Pine Ridge agency and numerous minor engagements with hostile Indians. He was six time: brevetted for gallant and treritorious services; once in the action against the Indians on Rosebud Creek, where he was severely wounded. He later 1eceived a medal of honor for noteworthy ard conspicuous gallantry while colonel cf the 40th Massachusetts Volunteers, leading the assaults of his brigade upon the works at Cold Harbor, in June, 1864, where he had two horses shot under him, one while in the act of leaping over the breastworks of the enemy. Gen. Henry is No. 62 in a list of seventy- one colonels, according to the last army register. His promotion therefore jumps him over a number of colonels, but his services in the civil war as well as since are deemed sufficient to justify the promo- tion he has secured. He is said to b2 the last active colonel of the line who com- manded a brigade during the civil war. Gen. Jacob F. Kent, who was promoted from colonel of the 24th Infantry to be a brigadier general in th> regular army will soon retire, it is sald, which will make an- other vacancy in the regular service. Gen. Hawkins, it will be remembered, was made a brigadier general and retired, making a vacancy for Gen. Kent. It is interesting to note that Cols. Kent and Henry, who have been mad> brigadier generals in the regular service, both com- manded colored regiments, the former the 24th Infantry and the latter th> 10th Cav- alry. Both of these regiments served with distinction at Santiago. + e+ ______ WITHOUT CITIZENSHIP. Porto Ricans Cease to Be Spaniards, but Have Not Become Americans. With the acquisition of the Island of Por- to Rico by the United States today about 800,000 inhabitants of that island lost their Spanish citizenship. The question as to what shall become of these people political- ly becomes of importance. Madrid advices report that leading citizens in Porto Rico have already taken steps to become natu- ralized as United States citizens. This is an error, for existing law provides no way in which this change of citizenship can be effected by the residents of the island. There is no United States court there before which a declaration of intention can be filed, and, in fact, no machinery at all = can be worked to change citizen- ship. Inquiry into this subject at the State De- partment discloses the fact that it has been usual to provide for a bodily transfer of the citizenship of people, conditioned as those in Porto Rico, in the treaty of peace which terminates a war. But it may be prudent for the commission at Paris to avoid any reference to Porto Rico again, in which case Congress will Be called upon by the President to confer citizenship upon the Porto Ricans in the’same act as that which must be passed to provide a stable form of government for the island. Should either of these courses be found impracticable, however, it is said at the department that international law in its operation would confer American citizen- ship upon these Porto Ricans, the general principles being that where a treaty of ces- sion {s silent upon the subject the citizen- ship changes with the soil. In the case of the acquisition of New Mextco, the resi- dents of the territory were given American citizenship by specific provision of the treaty. ———_____+ e+ _____ To Recruit at Chattanooga.

There is so much collusion in divorce ca and the civil divorce laws are so bad that we, in the majority yester¢ preferred not to rest our consciences even upon court rec- o Besides, as there is so much uncertainty in the minds of churchmen as to whether or not adultery is a sufficient cause in God's sight for a man to put away his wife, we were opposed to the Potter amend large question and we time to legalize a new canon recognizing adultery. Another View. Bishop Putter declined to be interviewed. A western bishop who was on the Potter side stated: ‘The action of the house of bishops had in it nothing unusual in legislative bodies An amendment to a certain canon pa the other day by a very narrow majority, one vote, and was incorporated into the canon, but when the canon came to be voted on as a whole, the house rejected the canon by a vote almost as narrow, partly because of the absence of certain persons, and partly because certain others preferred the old law to the amended canon. The nctive for such preference was probably that those who expressed it elected to leave the canon law of the Episcopal church as it is rather than concur in alterations of it, which did not go as far as they desired. The effect of this action, of course, is to leave the canon without the safeguard of requiring the decree of a court as evidence of the just ground of divorce. “Of course, however, those who were op- posed to divorce under any circumstances could not concur in this amendment, be- © it approved the canonicity of ‘that h they believed, under any circum- stances, not permissible. As a result no further action as to divorce is likel taken by the convention, and the difficulties in the way of divorced persons marriage, instead of being increas sired by the bishop of New York, are like- ly to remain no greater than at present.” The convention has appointed Rev. Dr. Samuel § secretary of the house of bishops, historiographer to succeed Bishop Perry of lowa, deceased. HOUSE OF DEPUTIES. Interesting Proceedings at the Ses- jon This Morning. There was a@ noticeable diminution in the attendance of deputies when the house was called to order by President Dix this morn- ing for the eleventh day of its delibera- tions. The vacant seats filled up partially, however, while the routine business of the morning hour was being transacted. On the call of committees Rev. Dr. Perkins of Kentucky, chairman of the committee on Prayer Book, reported back two resolu- tions introduced by Rev. Mr. Brand of Maryland and asked to be relieved from further consideration of them, for the res- son that any revision of the Prayer Book at present would be untimely. The request was granted. The Standard Bible. The committee also reported upon four questions propounded, chief of which was whether the church had a standard Bible. Dr. Perkins read from the report, which was voluminous, that the church did have a standard Bible, which was the edition of 1811, and publish in 1812 by Ire & Strong, and reported in 1859 by Dr. Mason as hav- ing been printed by Woodfall. That was the legal standard, said the report, and its use, in the opinion of the committee, was obligatory cn the church. In reply to the (Continued on Ninth Page.) ee Mrs. Sherman's Condition.

Colonel Cecil Clay, at the head of the beys’ reform school, has arranged an en- tertainment for the boys Thursday night. An interesting program will be rendered.
