THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1895. CLASH OVER REVISION First Gun Fired in the - Episcopal House of Deputies. DR.:HOFFMAN’S DEFIANCE Call to Arms for the Battle on Changes in Canons and Constitution. CONVENTION OF THE BISHOPS. Imposing. Celebration of the Holy Communlion Opens the Sesslon. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixx.,, Oct. 2.—The celebation of holy communion, with which the triennial convention cf the Episcopal church was ushered in this merning, was the most imposing ever wit- nessed in a church of that denomination on this continent. Sixty Bishops, attired in vestments of snowy white, over thess the black chemire, and over this again their hoods of scarlet, purple and blue, oc- cupied the chancel of St. Gethsemane, which-was brilliantly illuminated by can- dles and fragrant with fioral offerings, Eight hundred clerical and lay delegates and local churchmen occupied the pews in the body of the church, while the tempo- rary. galleries were filled with the wives and daughters of the visitors, and who in toilets rich, although subdued in color, furnished an appropriate background to the picture. Admission to the church was by ticket, and a crowd of several thousand gatuered on the outside to witness the arrival oi the distinguished participar At the open- ing notes of the processional hymn, “For- ward Be Our Watchword,” the head of the sesion moved from Knickerbocker Hall, and crossing the lawn reached the | edifice through the main aisle. The | Bishops of Kansas and Indiana, as the | juniors of the Episcopal lords, led the column, and the senior Bishops brought up the rear, the delegates from Canada be- ing given a position of honor between Bishops Whipple and Coxe, the two sen- iors in attendance. The regular service of common prayer and the iitany had been said at the 7 @'clock service, and when the Bishops had was begun by the reading of the epistle by Bishop Neely of Maine. The gospel was read by the Archbishop of Rupertsland, and the alms were received by Assistant Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota in a golden bowl, valued at several thousand dollars, and which was brought from England many years ago. Bishop Whipple was celebrant of holy communion, and every Bishop and dele- gate approached the Lord’s table. The service was fully choral, the chants and hymus being rendered by a surpliced male choir of fifty voices. After the reading of the gospel, the annual sermon was deliv- ered by Right. Rev. Bishop Coxe of the diocese of Central New York. The service comimenced at 11 o’clock, and it was after 1 when Bishop Tuttle of Missouri pro- nounced the benediction. Within fifteen minutes after the formal organization of the House of Deputies had been. effected this aiternoon. the call to arms-for the prospective great battle over the fevision of the constitution and canons of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States was sounded. Rising from beside J. Pierpont Morgan, the New York financier and head of the recent bond syndicate, Dr. Eugene A. Hoff- man of the same city made the announce- ment that the commission appointed by the general convention of 1892 had com- pleted its task, and that a certified copy of its report had been laid upon the secreta- ry'stable. There was a note of aefiance, if yiot challenge, in his voico as he pro- céeded to move a formal resolution that the report be made a special order lor Thyreday morning, and that it continue in the same status, day by day, until final disposition had been made of it. - Apparently taken off its guard the oppo- sition was about to let the resolution go through without comment, when a dele- gate in the rearof the church made in- quiry as to whether any substantial change bad been made in the report as printed and-circalated. To this.Dr. Hoffman gave a positive negative. What alterations had been made, he said, were purely verbal. Then Dr. Fulton of Philadelphia, editor of the Church Standard, desired ‘to kpow expiicitly whether, in adopting the resolu- ~ tion, the convention bound or committed itself to a full and detailed discussion of thereport, or whether to-morrow or any “other day it could do with the document s 1t saw fit. ; . -Upon this the ruling was made by Chair- man Morgan Dix that only the report - was made a special order for a fixed time; the convention could either proceed to its consideration or dispose of it by any par- liamentary method. This was satisfactory to the opposition, and the resolution was unanimously approved. . To-morrow, according to the present programme, a determined effort will be made t6 pigeonhole the report by referr- ing it to the general convention of 1898, and some fervid oratory pro and con may be expected. < Qutside of this episode the proceedings of ‘the session were of a purely routine nature. When the roll was called by Becretary Hutchins of Hartford, Conn., be- tween five and six hundred clerical and lay delegates answered to their names, and there was a craning of necks on the part .. ef both delegates and- visitors as Mr. Mor- -gan, ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont, Charles Treat Paine of Boston, Cortland - Parker of. New Jersey, W. Bayard Cutting of New York, C. Stuart Patterson and-Dr. ~MeVicar of Philadelphia, Columbus De- Jano of Ohio, ex-Governor Bradford L. . Prince of Mexico and others of National reputation gave assent of their presence. By unanimous vote Rev. Dr. Morgan | " Dix:of New York was elected chairman of the board, and as the eminent divine, who has presided over -every general conven- tion, commencing with that of 1886, w: escorted to the platform by Dr. Leffing- well of Quincy and John A. King of Long Island the deputies arose to their feet. In tones broken by emotion Dr. Dix thanked his associates for the honor once again conferred upon him. Matters of great importance, he said, were to be con~ * sidered and some of their work bristled with difficulties and would occasion great divisions of opinion. Besides the revision issue the question of mission work and the cause of the Christian unity would re- ° quire careful consideration. “them in their deliberations to the end God guide |- that this convention might rank among the most impcrtant of the history of the chureh. Rev. Dr. Hutchins of New York having once again been designated as general sec- retary, with Rev. Messrs. Antisce of West~ ern New York, Worthington of Ohio, Car- roll M. Davis of Missouri and Proutt of Albany, N. Y., as assistants, ex-Senator Edmunds, with Rev. Dr. Froude of Minne- apolis, were appointed te wait upon the House of Bishops and convey the informa- tion that the deputies had fully organized and were in session. The convention authorized the sending of a telegram to Bishop Williams of Con- neticut, the senior Bishop of the church, denloring his illness and expressing hopes for his speedy recovery. When the the revision question had been temporarily disposed of, as previously narrated, a resolution was submitted By Dr. Davenport of Tennessee expressing gratitude to the Bishops for the pastoral of October 18, 1894, and declaring that the house adopted it as a true and catholic definition of the doctrine of the incarna- tion and the inspiration of holy Seriptures, and further asking that the pastoral be re- issued. There were indications of a breeze over this provosition, balf a dozen delegates seeking the recognition of the chair, but on an objection by Rev. Dr. Greer of New York tne matter was piaced on the calen- dar without delay. Bimilar action was taken with a resolution from the same source calling for the printing of all of the communications issned and replies re- ceived by the commission on Christian unity, especially in regatd to the Chicago declaration. An adjournment was then taken until Thursday morning. While the deputies were in session the House of Bishops organized in Knicker- bocker Hall, adjoining Gethsemene Church and which has been fitted up with individual desks loaned from the Senate chamber at St. Paul. In the absence of the Bishop of Connecticut and Rhode Island Bishop Whipple, the senior Bishop in attendance, presided and Bishop Doane | was elected as chairman or vice-president. For the two preceding conventions this honor has been conferred upon Bishop Neely of Maine, but the rules of the house stood in the way of his re-election. Rev. Dr. Hart of Hartford was chosen as secre- tary. Adfter the announcement of the deaths since the last meeting of the House of Bichops, 8. C. Knickerbocker of Indiana, Thomas of Kansas and Howe of Pennsyi- vania, the Archbishop of Van Rupertsiand and the Bishop of Qu’Appelle were intro- duced to present the greetings of the Chuch of England in Canada. The session then adjourned. The delegates from the Pacific Coast were made unhappy when they reached the convention church by the development that the drawing of lots by the church | officers for the location of various delega- taken their places, the communion service | tions had resulted in their being relegated to the pews in the extreme rear of a dis tant aisle, and the temporary gallery over which destroyed all acoustic properties. After the on was well under way a protest against this treatment was voiced by Rev. Dr. Edw. D. Spalding of San Francisco, who declared that his asso- ciates could not heara word spoken from the platform orfrom the adjacent section Later on Dr. Fulton of Philadelphia re- newed the protest in behalf of the Cali- fornia, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Fiorida delegations, and declared that unless the church committee speedily improved the existing conditions, which amounted to a virtual disfranchise- ment of the delegates out of hearing, he would move to change the location to another church. The management com- mittee is trying to-night to find room for the Califormans among the Southern con- tingents in the front pews. OPENED WITH HIGH MASS First Eucharistic Congress of the Catholic Church In Amerlca. An Eloquent Sermon on “Friend- ship” Delivered by Blshop Keane. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2.—The first eucharistic congress of the Catholic church held in America began this morning with the celebration of a solemn pontifical high mass at St. Patrick’s Church. It was a most impressive occasion, and drew an audience that crowded the handsome edi- fice to the doors. The services brought together nearly every member of the epis- copacy of the church. The pontificial representative and cele- brant of the mass was Mgr. Satolli, the apostolic delegate, assisted by the Very Rev. Murray, president of Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio. The deacons to the throne; were Very Rev. D. M. McKenny, V., G., Jacksonville, Fla., and Very Rev. B. Fox, V. G., Green Bay, Wis.; deacon of mass, Rev. J. D. Mc- Mahon, rector of St. Thomas Church, New York City, with Rev. Professor Astell of St. Paul’s Seminary, 8t. Paul, Minn,, as sub-deacon. The masters of ceremonies were Rey. F. McGee of Bt. Patrick’s Church, Washington, and Rev. Dougherty of 8t. Angustine Church, Washington. The mass was conciuded with an elo- quent sermon by Bishop Keane. His sub- ject was *Friendship,”’ and he likened the members of the Eucharist League to the Apostles, whom Christ called his friends. The first session of the congress began at 2:30 p. M. at the Catholic I?niven( y and to-night there was a solemen adoration of the most blessed sacrament at St. Patrick’s Church. —_—— -TO BE SETTLED IN COURT. Secretary Carlisle Will Not Decide the Sugar Bounty Cases, ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2.—Secre- tary Carlisle has decided to refer the sugar bounty cases to the Court of Claims, re- serving his decision as to the validity of Comptroller Bowler's ruling that the bounty was uneonstitutional. Ex-Senator Manderson and his clients, the sugar-growers, had asked for a hearing on the case with a view to having Secre- tary Carlisle overrule the Bowier decision. Becretary Carlisle said to-day that he was willing to grant a hearing if it was insisted on, but that the point involved was a ques- tion of Iaw, nnmhn Secretary had deter- mined to have it settled by the courts.

The New Head of the Depart- ment of the East Named. OTHER ARMY CHANGES MADE. Promotion of the Several Officers to Go Into Effect at Once. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2—“By the direction of the President, Major-General Nelson A. Miles is assigned to the com- mand of the army of the United States, and Major-General Thomas H. Ruger is ussigned to the command of the Depart- friends of General Miles are highly indig- nant over the expression from Secretary Lamont calling the general “‘a newspaper soldier.” They insist that the force of the remark is broken by the fact that Lamont isnota soldier and is an acknowledged ‘‘newspaper politician.” But to have an official jokelet like Lamont, who is tempo- tarily at the head of the Department of War, refer in such a way to a man who Was engaged in battle when Lamont was engaged in hide and seek is distressing, and the main comfort is embraced in the fact that Lamont will leave the Depart- ment of War in abouta yearand a half, never to return. In the meantime it isobserved that many Senators in handling administration mat- ters may remember the pipings of the Sec- retary of War and occasionally give a slap that will be felt. BARDSLEY MAX GO FREE. 4An Effort to Secure the Release of an Embozrzling Treasurer. PHILADELPHIA, PaA., Oct. 2.—Efforts are being made in this city to secure the release of ex-City Treasurer John Bards- ley, who six years ago was sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment for embezzle- ment of over $500,000 of city funds. When Bardsley was sentenced it was generally understood that he would serve but little of his sentence on aecount of his keeping silent during the trial and soreen- ing other prominent officlals supposed to be implicated in the steal. It isdenied that any political influences are being brougbt to bear, as the effort is being made by a large number of prominent business men irrespective of political affiliations.

The travel enjoined by this order is necessary for the public service. “DANIEL 8. LaMonT, Secretary of War.”” This is the official order issued by the War Department to-day. An effort has been made to ascribe the delay in the issuance of ghe order to the desire on the pvart of the administration to punish General Miles for announecing that he had been selected for the detail in advance of the promulgation of the official order. As stated yesterday it was caused solely by the changes in the staff of General Miles incident to his transfer to Washington. The adjutant-general's office in Wash- ingten has been completely upset by the changes ordered this morning a few hours before the official announcement of the order to General Miles was made. Colonel T. M. Vincent, who acted as adjutant-gen- eral en the staff of General Scholield, has been relieved of that duty and assigned to duty in the adjutant-general’s office. Colonel Samuel Beck, who is now adju- tant-general of the Department of the East, has been assigned as adjutant. general on General Miles’ staff. Colonel Henry C. Corbin, principal assistant to the adjutant-general, has been assigned to duty as Colonel Beck’s successor.

PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 2.—Lieutenant Peary is now resting in his old home in this city, preparatory to superintending the placing of the Arctic collection brought back by the expedition in the National Museum. When seen to-day he denied the rumor that he was to superintend the forming of another expedition right away. “No, not at the present; at least, in the first place, it has not been mentioned, and secondly, it will be necessary for me to re- cruit my health before making any more attemots,”” said he, *In fact, I am not quite sure whether I shall ever make an- other attempt. 1 am a great deai older than when I started my first expedition; and although personally I shoula like to continue the work, it would better -glnced in the handsof ayounger man.

Nominated by Acclamation in the State Convention at Lincoin. A PLATFORM FOR AMERICANS. Cleveland Denounced for Hls Aban- donment of the Monroe Doctrine. 9 LINCOLN, Nkpe., Oct. 2—The Repub- lican State convention for the nomination of a candidate for Justice of the Bupreme Court and two regentsof tbe State Uni- versity met at the Opera-house shortly after 2 o'clock. There was nearly a full representation of the 1057 dele-ates, and with no contests and a pretty well defined idea in advance of what wasto be done everything was smooth sailing. Chairman Morrill of the State Central Committee called the convention to order and announced that the convention had selected as temporary chairman General John L, Webster of Omaha. H. C. Har- rison of Grand Island was made secretary, and later the temporary organization was, made permanent. Chairman Webster made an extended address, congratulating the party in Nebraska on its bright prospects and pre- dicting entire success at the polls in No- vember. He was glad that the spirit of harmony once miore dwelt within the ranks, and warned the delezates to put aside differences and fight the common enemy. The committes appointments followed, and pending the report of the committee on resolutions nominations for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court were declared in order. Chief Justice T. L. Norval of Seward was the only person presented and he was nominated by acclamation, ‘as was also C. H. Morrill of Lincoln for regent of the university. Justice Norval made a brief address of acceptance, thank- ing the convention for the honor. For second regent of the university the names of H. L. Gould of Ogalalla and J. B. Wes- ton of Beatrice were presented. Mr. Gould was nominated on the first ballot. Pending the report on the committee on platform John M. Thurston, Church Howe and others were called for and responded. Senator Thurston received an ovation. He spoke at length, glorifying Republican achievements and bespeaking for the party success in the State and Nation. The report of the platform committee was extended. The platiorm opens with a reiteration of that adopted at the Minne- apolis convention, and continues: By the fallacies of so-called Populism, hev- ing temporarily demoralized the ranks of Re- publicanism in its strongholds, the last Na- tional election restored the Democratic party to power in-the -executive and legisiative de- partments of the Government, and the results of the “‘change’” immediately appeared. The industries of the Nation were paralyzed, finan- cial panic followed, unprecedented for its du- ration and widespread disaster to our commer- cial and mapufacturing interests, its impair- ment of values of all proverty and product and its reduction to & pauper level of the wpges of the laborer. The fearsof the people were finally justified by the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, a measure so obnoxious and indefensible that a Democratic President pledged to free- trade measures denounced it as an act of per- fidy and dishonor, but suffered it to become a law without his signature. This 1aw, based upen: no recognized principle, fathered by no party platform, that neither protects American industries nor T s a sufficient revenue to supply the ordinary necessities of the Govern- ment; that has forced the horrowing of im- mense sums of money oh the bonds of the Gov- ernment in a time of profound peace, and the farming out of the functions of the Treasury Department to a syndicate controlled by for- eign capitalists, has once more proven the ut- ter incapacity of the Democratic party for ad- ministering the affairs of the Government. The election of a Congress last November with unparalieled Republican majority immediately strengthened the Nationsl credit, restored, in a great measure, the confidence and courage of the people and revived our languishing industries, and has signally vindi- cated the Republican policy of protection to home industries and a sound currency. We, therefore, call upon all petriotic people, irrespective of former political affiliations, to join in assisting to bring back prosperity to the Btate and Nation by re-enacting protection to American industries, on the basisof that splendid law known ss the ‘“McKinley act,” thereby securing an adequate revenue while guarding the American market for American products and furnishing steady and perma- nent employment of American labor at Ameri- can wages and returning to the beneficial sys- tem of commercial reciprocity with our sister American republics. : Favoring the use of both gold and silver as standard money, we oppose all monetary legisiation that would result in either gold or silver monometallism, and demand the main- tenance of a National currency, every dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or paper, shall be of equal value and of equal debt-paying or purchasing power. We denounce the Democratic National ad- ministration for lts supine negleet of Ameri- can interests in its foreign policy and its cow- ardly abandonment of the doctrine of the fathers of the Republio that guarantees the ‘friendly offices of this Government in favor of independent States of the American conti- nent threatened with spoliation or conquest by any European power. We most heartily sympathize with the people of Cuba in their desire to attain independence and self-govern- ment, and demand, in case of Spain attempt- ing to make good its threat to wage a war of extermination against them, the prompt recog- nition of the belligerent rights of the Cuban republic by the United States. The Repubilcen party, always foremost in the march of progress, recognizes the im- portance of irrigation to the people of the western part 6f the State, and we pledgs the party to the same friendly spirit in the consld- eration of future legislation as it exhibited toward them in the enactment of the first gen- eral irrigation law in 1889, and again in 1895. To further aid in the development of irriga- tion, we would respectfully request our Can- gressional delegation to urge the passage of a law granting to the State for this purpose the remaining public lands undisposed of within our borders. The platform concludes by congratulat- ing the people on the restoration of the sugar bounty. It was adopted without amendment, with cheers, and at 5 o'clock, after being in session less than two hours, the convention adjourned sine die. To-night a rally was held, with speeches by leading Republicans. —_————— WILLIAYS FOE GOVERNOR. Massachusetts Democrats Applaud the Cleveland Regime.

Josizh Quincy was given a hearty welcome on being presented as permanent chairman, He made a rousing speech eulogistic of President Cleveland’s administration and dwelling on the return- ing signs of National prosperity asan out- come of the Democratic tariff revision.

C., Oct. 2.—Illinois and Iowa Republicans are just now having a lively correspondence with Thomas B. Reed, the prospective Speaker of the next House of Representatives, over the chair- manship of the Committtee of Appropri- ations. A bitter fight is being waged between the two rival aspirants for the honors, Henderson of Iowa and Cannon of Illinois. Both men are working hard to secure the prize and the echoes of the con- test which reach Washington show that there will be bad blood. Henderson claims the honor because he is the ranking member of the committee. He has served on it almost continuously since he came to Congress, and 1s very familiar with the financial budget. Cannon, on the otlier hand, enjoys the prestige of haying once been chairman of the com- mittee when Reed was speaker, but he was defeated in his candidacy for the Fifty- second Congress, and when he returned to the House had to take his place at the foot of the committee. Now he wants to jump back to the foremost niche. It is interesting to note that Henderson is and always has been a stanch advocate. of Reed for the Presidency. This may have something to do with settling the dispute. SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY, General Hampton’s Reporton the Bond-Aided Pacific Railroads. Recommends Leglsiation to Se- cure a Just Settiement With the Government. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2.—General Wade Hampton, United States Commis- sioner of Railroads, to-day submitted to the Secretary of the Interior a report upon tke physical and financial condition of the property and affairs of the several railroad companies nnder the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Railroads. Speaking of the Union Pacific system he says that as now constituted, it comprises the lines of fifteen distinct companies, united by stock ownership or lease, aggre- gating 4084 miles. The capital stock of the company is $60,868,500, and its indebtedness to the Gov- ernment amounts to $53,050,053. Other obligatio ns, consisting of floating bonds in the hands of the public to the amount of $74,000,000, bring liabilities up to about $187,873,500. The conditions of the properties of the Union and Central Pacific railroads were personaily inspected by the Commissoner in June and July of the current year, and found to be excellent. The Commissioner renews his recommen~ dations for legisiation which wlli secure the Government an_ultimate payment of the moneys originally advanced by itas a loan to the Pacific’ railroad companies. Should this not meet with favor, the Come missioner renews his old recommendation for the appointing by the President of a commission to settle the indebtedness of the bond-aided Pacific railroads to the Government on terms which shall be hon- orable to the companies and just vo the United States. MOREL'S CAPTORS ANGRY. Sheriff Hicks of Santa Barbara County Wants to Know of Him. Theory That There Was Some De-~ ception Practiced Now Belleved. SANTA BARBARA, CaArn, Oct. 2.—In- vestigations made in Los Angeles tend to confirm the theory first published in Tar CaLy that there is some deception in the release by a Los Angeles detective of the prisoner Morel, arrested three weeks ago in this place for burglary committed in Los Angeles and who is supposed to have been one of the Mafia engaged in the con- spiracy resulting in the murder of Chief of Police Hennessy of New Orleans. Los Angeles newspaper men have been interviewing Detective Goodman, who will neither affirm nor deny the charge that he gave out a false statement when he de- clared h::;rhoner to _be a farmer, whom he released and permitted to go to his home in. New Jerusalem. The leading daily g: per of Los Angeles to-day declares its i MJE;J“ Morel is hidden away in their ’?his is probably an error. The stronger likelihood is that Morel is on his way to New Orleans to avoid habeas corpus pro- ceedings here. Meantime the Santa Bar- bara_constable, who found the man for Goodman, and Sheriff Hicks of this county, who g0 quickly and faithfully planned his capture, are wrathy, for there is a big re- ward out for the apprehension of Hen- nessy’s murderers and they do not propose to haul Goodman’s chestnuts out of the fire without being palid for it. A e THE HUMBOLDT WRECK, One Passing Steamer Belicved Her to Be Burning Yesterday. EUREKA, Cav., Oct, 2.—The steamers Pomona and Alice Blanchard passed the spot this morning where the Humboldt was wrecked. The Blanchard reported the steamer burning, but it 1s thought to bea fire on the beach built by a party camning there, The fog was thick also in the vicinity. The steamer Pomona passing later also saw nothing of the ill-fated hoat.

MILLION DOLLAROUTLAY Has Paid Out Five ,Hundred Thousand Dollars in the Past Year. IT COVERS OVER FIVE ACRES. The Great Factory -Never Stops From the Beginning to the Close. of the Season. CHINO, Cav., Oct. 2—The Ching * beet- sugar factory will soon ‘close the' most prosperous season it has enjoyed. Th_a factory opened on’ Jily; 9:. Since then it has been using between 800 and 1000 tons of roots per day, which yielded close upon 250,000 pounds of -granulated: sngar every twenty-four hours.. The beets are taken t from the 300 farmers on the great planta- tion, topped and hauled to the factory, and are then dumped . into. mammoth re- ceiving trays. From- these “they are con- veyed to a flume, where they are. partially cleaned as they are hoisted by & screw elevator. Taken to the second floor, they are thoroughly washed and thrown into slicing machines, where - they. ‘are cut into strips from two to four inchés in length. They then pass through a ‘steeping pro- cess, by which every particle of sweetness is extracted and the water drawnoff. A thick eyrup is all that.isléft and thisis treated with pulverized lime and other chemicals. On the lime ‘being extracted the granulated sugar remains. The Chino beet sugar .industry is the largest of its kind in-the United States. The factory and equipment represent an outlay of $1,100,000. For this yenr’s beets and labor it will pay out in thé néighbor- hood of $500,000. It is estimated that the season’s output will be 280,000 sacks of fine sugar, a total of 28,000,000 pounds,. or 700 carloads of twenty tons each. The crop is one of the finest ever har- vested, some of the roots showing en anal- yeis 25 per cent of sugar..
