As the | mistakes of the secretary were rare, the chairman said, this one would be excused &nd the subject was passed for the time being. Reports of committees were next in or- Ger. The Rev. Dr. ler of Los Angeles took the floor and said he was going to | present a resolution, but would wait until the hou: a little fuller. The chalrman of the committee on elec- tions reported that Griffith Williams, a | lay delegate from the diocese of Mar- quette, had been seated. COMMITTEE ON RULES MAKES ITS REPORT The Rev.

B - i) l‘hfll as this house had no jurisdiction he asked that the committee be discharged and that the committee be allowed to re- turn the papers to the secretary. His de- sire was granted. The chairman of the committee on ex- penses reported that the various dioceses were slow in paying their tridnnial assess- ments. He asked that the delegates visit the treasurer more quickly, as the latter desired to return to his duties in New York before the close of the convention. He said he had the triennial report of the treasurer and moved its reference to the cemmittee on expenses.

The first report read was not concurred in by the entire com- mittee. There belng a minority, two re- | ports were read. They are as follows: The_committee on the Prayer Book, to which was referred the memorial of the diocese of Milwaukee and the resolutions of the diocese of Colorado asking that certaim changes be made in the Prayer Book, respectfully reports that it does not deem it proper to recommend any change in the Praver Book as to the name of the church until the General Convention itself, by formal action on its part, shall have made a Those Dealers Who tell you they never heard of the Wiley B.

The minority report of the committee on the prayer book is as follows; The committee on the Prayer Book, to which was referred the memorial of the diocese of Milwaukee and the resolutions of the diocese of Colorado, in effect petitioning for a change in the name of the church from ‘‘Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America” to ‘‘American Catholic Church in the United States,” and in asking the General Convention to take such action at this session as will insure the Initlal passage and notifica- tion to the several dioceses of the legislation necessary to effect such changes, respectfully reports as follows: our committee finds that such action in- volves changes in the constitution as well as in the Book of Common Prayer, and therefore recommends the adoption of the following reso- lution | Resolved, That the memorial of the dfocese of Milwaukee and the resolutions of the diocese of Colorado be referred to a special committee of three presbyters and three laymen, to be appointed by the chair; such committee to put in proper form and report to this conventior for” gonsideration the legislation necessary te effect the changes desired by the said dioceses. T. B. S. HODGES, H. H. OBERLY, EDGAR A. ENOS, VINCENT NEALE, GEORGE E. COPELAND. The Rev. Dr. Oberly explained that there was no discussion in the committee on the prayer book in regard to the mat- ter. There was, he said, an evident de- sire on the part of a considerable number, both of clerical and lay deputies, to ex- press their opinions in debate and pos- sibly by vote on the question of a change of the name of the church. There should be the largest liberty of debate, and with that in view the minority had adopted this. method of bringing the matter be- fore the house. He moved that the mi- | nority report be substituted for the ma- jority report. On motion the matter was placed on the calendar to come up in its regular order. VOTE ON AMENDMENT IMPROPERLY TAKEN The secretary then read the minutes of the previous session, and when he con- cluded the Rev. Dr. Williams of Nebraska created a sensation by declaring that the vote of Nebraska upon the amendment to the constitution recognizing forms of wor- ship of congregations not in accord with the Episcopal church had been improperly recorded. He asked that a correction be made so the vote would show that Ne- braska voted in the negative. This aroused a furor in the convention. If Ne- braska was permitted to correct its vote the amendment introduced by Dr. Hunt- ington would be lost and the victory of the day before would be turned info a | defeat, as there was a difference of one vote. Arthur S. Browne of Washington made a motion to have the minutes corrected. Lay Delegate Stetson of New York se- cu;—;d the attention of the convention and said: This motion presents a question of the very highest constitutional importance. A vital change In the constitution of this chufch should be made only in accordance with the consti- tution. It fs of the greatest importance that a vote of this kind should be announced at a subsequent session. I am not prepared to announce, nor have I formed in my own mind how this order should be decided. I therefore move that the vote on this subject be taken to-morrow morning. Robert E. Withers of South Virginia re- spectfully submitted that Mn. Stetson was not in order; that the only proposition before the house was to correct that por- tion of the minutes which states that Ne- braska voted for.the amendment. Mr. Stetson said: It is not impracticable to change it at a sub- sequent meeting. - The object of reading the minutes is to correct that report until it is con- firmed by the body and until then it is no re- port. Every delegation has a right to demand the right to have its vote recorded as given. Mr. Stetson interrupted to say he did not ask to have the vote changed, but to have the vote to change the minutes post- potied until to-morrow morning. REV. DR. FULTON ASKS FOR A RECONSIDERATION Rev. Dr. Fulton sald: I sincerely hoped that after “the fullest discussion of yesterday no cloud would be permitted to remain upon the record of thfs house. I was struck with the fine temper which prevailed during the de. bate. I am perfectly clear on the point stated by the deputy from Virginia that any delega- tion has an undoubted right to demand that the record be corrected, so that it should corre- spond with the votes as given. I would de- precate that a_change in the disposal of these amendments should be conseqtient upon that correction. It should follow the unquestiona- ble action of the house. You are aware I was opposed to the amendment and when these minutes are recorded, I shall be on the side of the majority and fot on the minority, as I was vesterday. By “consent "of my colleagues of Pennsyl- vania, clerical and lay, I shall move the re- consideration of this vote, The Rev. Dr. Parks of New York, speaking to a question of privilege on be- half of Dr. Huntington, who was absent, said he was satisfied the latter would not want the vote to stand so long as its cor- rectness was in question. He was certain Dr. Huntington would desire absolute cer- tairty and honesty, and that every dep- @itk @ Stops the Cough And works off the cold. Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day. No Cure,” No Pay. Price % cents. s o uty ought to have his vote recorded as he desired. The Rev. Dr. Lyman of Chicago stated it was simply a proposition of properly recording a man's vote and believed the record should be corrected. At this juncture Rev. Dr. ertered the house and was aporised of the new developments. He said: I have just this moment come into the house and I may be in error in regard to f: understand that one of the Siaden) Meietaiit] Huntington The chairman—That is true, Dr. Huntington—Does the secretary bear out the statement that it was error? The secretary—The deputation from Nebras- ka claim that’their vote Is recorded In error, and I have no reason to doubt what they say. Dr. Huntington—No one, sir. can have any reason to doubt what they say. There can be only one decision of this question. The Yote of Nebraska should be recorded as the deputation says it was their intention to have it recorded, The secrétary—The secretary would say that he {8 always experiencing the difficulty which | the deputles sometimes experience; the difficul. | ty of not hearing in this house distinctly. deputation from Nebraska requested that the names of the deputation should be called. The secretary understood, but it seems misunder- stood, the response to be as follows (reading the vote as recorded In the minutes): The roll of the Nebraska deputation was then, on motion, recalled with a view to ascertaining wherein the secretary had erred In recording the vote. It appeared that Rev. Dr. Marsh and Rev. Dr. Moore, who were recorded as voting aye, really voted no. This changed the result of the Wwhole vote, and on motion of Rev. Dr. Brown the minutes were corrected to con- form to the real vate of the deputation, showing that the resolution, which had been debated at great length for two days angd announced on vesterday by the chair- man as having been adopted, was lost. VOTE ON AMENDMENT IS RECONSIDERED ! The secretary then read the corrected | vote in detail as follows: Ayes—Clerfcal, 20; lay, 35. Noes—Clerical, | 17; lay, 4. Divided—Cierical, 13; lay, 5. | On motlon of Lay Deputy Browne the minutes as corrected and amended were approved. . e Rev. Dr. Fulton of Pennsylvania asked if it was in order to move the re- consideration of the vote. A deputy objected, and under the rule the chair decided that the house should proceed with the regular order of busi- ness. A message was received from the House of Bishops that it had adopted a resolu- tion providing for the appointment of a commission, consisting of two Bishops, two presbyters and two laymen, to pre- are a version of the prayer book in the Ewedllh language and to report at the next General Convention, and that it had | worship by congregations not in union with this ELECE THE 'DAUGHTERS OF THE KING IR' OFFICERS FOR THE COMING YEAR " Interesting Session at St. Luke’s Comes to a Close and Delegates Will Be Shown About the City. HE Daughters of the King elected their officers yesterday at a further session in St. Luke's Church. Mrs. E. A. Bradley of New York-was re- elected president, Mrs. J. W. S.

The executive committee will be composed of the officers named, Mrs. Adam Denmead of Balti- more, Md., and Mrs. W. G. Davenport, | Anacostia, D. C. The forenoon session was devoted to a discussion on the junlor branch work of the order of the Daughters of the King | and the subject of chapter resignations. | In the afternoon chapter work was gen- | erally discussed and an address delivered | by the Rev. Burr M. Weeden, rector of | St. Luke's Church. He spoke of prayer and individual responsibility, declaring that any advance in the work of the or- | der must depend upon the individual effort of members. The closing address of the session was delivered by the Right Rev. uel C. Edsall, D.D., Bishop of North Dakota, He sald that the spirit, principles and method of work of the Daughters of the King appealed to his heart, and that the peculiar characteristic of the order was that its one underlying idea was self-sac- | rifice. To-day the yisiting Daughters of the King will be ghests of the San Francisco members and will visit the beach and other points of interest. , The Junior Chapter of the Daughters of the King met yesterday morning at St. Luke’s Church, the director, Mrs. Charles T. Patriarche, presiding and being assist- ed by Mrs. Grace Boyd and Miss Mollie Brown. Miss Irene- Walker, the secre- tary, read a report reviewing the work of the last year and showing that It was the aim of the junior branch to fit chil. dren to become useful members of the Daughters of the King and faithful com- municants of the church. The report showed that it was the intention to. or- sanize junior chapters In every parish in the country. At present the local chapter is confined to fifteen girls of Trinity Church. appointed as members of the commission on its part the Bishop of Marquette and the Bishop of Minnesota. A message from the House of Bishops announced that it had reconsidered the resolution contained in its message No. 4 and adopted it with an amendment pro- viding that the hour for closing the serv- ices of the convention be 5 o'clock on the 17th inst. The House of Bishops notified the Dep- uties that it had adopted the following resolution: That title 1, canon 19, section 6, sub-section 5 'be amended to read as follows: On the for- mation of a missionary district the Bishop consecrated or assigned thereto shall for the ad- ministration of his jurisdiction select the con- stitution and canons of this church, which shall remain in force so far as applicable to the eir- cumstances of sald misslonary district, except so far as altered from time to time with the consent of the House of Deputies. A missionary Bishop may, however, at any time submit to the House of Bishops a draft of a proposed con- stitution and canons, which, on being approved by the House of Bishops, shall go into effect and remain In force, exceépt so far as changes therein may be afterward approved by the House of Bishops. The matter was on motion referred to the committee on canons. A deputy proposed as an amendment the following: In cases where the prayer book has not been translated Into the language of the congrega- tion provision may be made by canon for the temporary use of other forms and directories of church, who are willing to accept the spiritual oversight of the Bishop of a misslonary district. The chair ruled this out of order. The Rev. Dr. Hodges, chairman of the committee on vrayer book, also reported on the message of the House of Bishops, allowing the refding of lessons of Holy Scripture in mcrning and evening prayer from the Revised Version, recommending concurrence by the House of Deputies. The matter was made a special order to come up with the question in regard to marginal readings. In regard to the resolution offered by the Rev. Dr. Ashton of Western New York for change of the second rubric be- fore the Order of Daily Morning Prayer the committee recommended its passage and asked to be discharged from further consideration of the subject. The request was granted. The committee reported ad- versely on the memorial of the dlocese of Massachusetts in regard to ghe use of the Revised Version, granting the same liber- ty enjoved in that respect in England, anq asked to be discharged. This request was also granted. ANNOUNCES DEATH OF BISHOP OF ST. ALBANS The Rev. 8. G.
