The first intimation of the trouble comes in the shape of an editorial in the Church Standard, the oldest organ of the church in this country. In the issue of the Standard which appears today Rev. Dr. John Fulton, the editor, says in reference to the Irvine-Talbot case that the presiding bishop has constituted the board of Inquiry under a canon which was superseded by a new canon of the late general convention. The new canon will come into operation on Jan. 1, 3905. The board of inquiry is called to meet on Jan.'10, and when It does meet on thut date it will not be constituted as the new canon requires.
