D., of Medford, Mass., who is the secretary of the convention. The scene presented was an imposing one. All the bishops were attired in their robes of black and white, and many of them wore their bright colored university hoods. These marks of distinction are conferred by various universities, and var§ in color according to the university from which they came. Some of them worn by the bishops this morning were purple, some were cardinal, some were green and all were bright colored. Most of the wearers were elderly men, and the entire body of bishops presented a venerable and distinguished appearance. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 3.—The Democratic state couvention met in Mechanics' hall at noon and unanimously placed the following ticket in nomination: CLEVELAND'S Virginia—Right Rev. Alfred Magill Randolph, D. D. PI0HEER (San Francisco) Gentlemen—Speaking for the government of the United States, I bid you welcome to this capital. Speaking for the people of the United States, I bid you welcome to every section and to every state of the Union. You come in response to an invitation extended by the president on the special authorization of congress. No conference of nations has ever assembled to consider the welfare of territorial possessions so vast aud to contemplate the possibilities of a future so great and so inspiring. Those now sitting within these walls are empowered to speak for nations whose borders are on the great oceans, whose northern limits are touched by the arctic waters for a thousand miles beyond the straits of Behring, whose southern extension furnishes human habitations further below the equator than is elsewhere possible on the globe.

This evidence will in all probability dismiss the habeas corpus proceedings and formally commit Leconey to await the action of the grand jury.

Love, Ph.D." The aggregate territorial extent of the nations here represented falls but little short of twelve millions of square mites—more than three tiuies the area of all Europe auJ but little less than onefourth part of the globe—while in respect to the power of producing tha articles which are essential to human life and those which minister to life s luxury they constitute even a larger proportion of the entire world. These great pos sessions today have an aggregate population approaching one hundred and twenty millions, but if peopled as densely as the average of Europe the total number would exceed ore thousand millions.Pittsburg, Oct. 3.—At the session of the national board of stcain navigation many questions closely concerning commerce and river traffic were discussed.

" Wm. McMurtrie, Ph. D. ' While consideratious c' this character must inspire Americans with the liveliest anticipations of a future grandeur and power, they must also impress them with a sense of the gravest responsibility touching the character and development of their respective nationalities. The delegates whom 1 am addressing can do much to establish permanent relations of confidence, respect and friendship between the nations which they represent.A Conference fur All. The election of officers resulted in the selection of President Cheney to succeed himself. This, however, Mr. Cheney declined, and J. VV.

Churchman, Philadelphia; treasurer, Addison Lysle, Pittsburg; secretary, J. W. Bryant, New Orleans; assistant secretary, C. Ii. Bower, New York. The shop of a jeweler named Schaller, in Munich, was entered by burglars and robbed of precious stones and gold ware valued at 70,000 marks. •All Alum baking powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous. Phosphate powders liberate their gas too freely, or under climatic changes suffer deterioration.Scottish Stuents Strike. London, Oct. 3.—A novel strike has just been inaugurated by the scholars in attendance at the universities of Aberdeen, Glasgow and one or two other Scottish tiwns. It has been the policy of the faculties in these schools to lay out for each scholar certain lessons to be studied away from the colleges them Helves. The students call these "home lessons," and demand that they be reduced. The faculties refusing, a strike is the result. Five thousand cartridges exploded in the Russian barracks at Kootoschin, killing several soldiers and injuring a large number. The assistant secretaries were then an* nouncedas follows: Rev.

Judge Pavid C Beattie, ten years county judge of Schenectady county, N. Y., is dead. Buffalo, Oct. 3.—The schoonor George C, Finney, from Toledo, encountered a waterspout while off Port Colliss, and when it left her she was barely afloat. Tho crew of the Finney said they had already avoided four waterspouts when the filth one struck them. This one came up just under the stern of the schooner and tossed her about like an egg shell. The schooner, at first on her bow, ip a moment was stern down, while her spars were crashing on every side. One of her yards was driven down through the decl{ deep into the grain. The deliberations and doings of so august a body as the general convention are always important and interesting. The present convention, which marks the centenary of the existence of the unified church, bids fair to be more important than any of its prede* cessors. Questions of the gravest import are to be discussed, and there is a possibility of most radical action being taken in several directions. The question of the basis of representation in the general convention has long been a mooted question in church circles, and a determined attempt will be made this year by the opponents of the present system to secure a revision of the geperal constitution in the direction of a proportionate representation. As it now is, tho smallest diocese in ttfc couutry can send as many delegates to the convention as the largest diocese, and can hence exercise an equal voice in the councils of the convention. A man wearing a G. A. R. badge fell from a window of the Friendly inn, Travers street, Boston, and was killed. He carried a discharge paper from a Maine regiment to Alva Davis, Auburn, Mo. THE WHAM ROBBERY CASE. Cinoinnatti, Oct. 3.—The Ohio campaign is getting lively.

The charge created a big sensation. Hall stead Alter Campbell's Scalp. Judge Barnes' Action Fully Indorsed hy Tucson, A. T,, Oct. 3.—The United States grand jury was brought into court and asked by District Judge W. H. Barnes if a telegram reflecting upon the court had not been sent to the department of justice in connection with the Wham robbery case. The jury stated that they had sent a telegram to the efr feet that the judge from the bench had in the presence of the government witnesses made remarks evincing a strong feeling between the court officers and witnesses calculated tq demoralize the government's witnesses and suppress testimony, and requesting the substitution of another judge to try the case. Judge Barnes replied that such was not within the jurisdiction of the grand jury and was a menace to the independence of the judiciary, and orderod the jury discharged. The grand jury had not completed their labors. At a meeting of the bar Judge Barnes' action was fully indorsed. the Arizona liar.

Aijd yet we cauuot be expected to forget that our common fate has made us the inhabitants of the two continents which, at the close of four centuries, are still regarded beyond the seas as the New World. Like situations beget like sympathies and impress like duties. We meet in the flrm belief that the nations of America ought to be anfi can be more helpful, each to the other, than they uow are, and that each will find advan tage and profit from an enlarged intercourse with the others. We totriieve that we should be drawn together more closely by the highways of the sea, and that at no distant day the railways pf the north and south will meet upon the isthmus and connect by land routes the political and commercial capitals of all America. We believe that hearty co-operation, based on hearty confidence, ijriU save all American states from the burdens ftud evils which have long and cruelly affected the older nations of the world. We believe that a spirit of justice, of common and equal interest between the American states will leave no room for an artificial balance of power like that which has led to wars abroad and drenched Europe with blood. Drawn Closer Together. Faulkner Guilty. Protection to consumers of food compounds lies in their ability to choose those made from healthful substances.

Alter the situation haC} been explained by a member of the boycotted firm, resolutions were adopted denouncing the action of tho trades unions as un-American and therefore not to be encouraged, and pledging that the influence of the exchange be exerted to defeat the boycott. CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER. The proposed revision of the "Book of Common Prayer" is sure to arouse a noteworthy debate. Through the efforts of the Rev. Dr. W. Huntington, a liturgical committee of fiftoen was appointed by the last general convention, which met in Chicago, and the elaborate report of that committee will be taken up and acted upon. It is improbable, however, that any radical revision of the prayer book will be made at the present session of the general convention. Proposed Revision of the Prayer Hook. Destructive Hurricane in Michigan. This powder is made only of strictly pure grape cream of tartar, and strictly pure bicarbonate of soda, with a little wheat flour to preserve it. This is attested by the official analyses of Government and State chemists, and physicians, and chemists of Boards of Health throughout the country. Clbvblabd Brothkks, Albany, N.

The Mayor is out with an appea 1 to the public for aid. New York, Oct. 3.—The committee of experts appointed by the Grant Monument association havo reported upon a plan. The mouument, the design of which has secured first prize, will be a grand mausoleum, 215 feet high and 125 feet square at its base. The entire device is surmounted by an immense funeral urn. It will be built of granite, and the estimated cost is $47t»,000, which brings it within the $500,000 limit prescribed by the committee. The Grunt Monument. New Yokk, Oct. 3.—The annual meeting of the National Association of Wool manufacturers was held in the Fifth Avenue hotel with closed doors. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: President, William Whitman, of Boston; vice presidents, John L. Huston, of Hartford, Conn.; A. C. Miller, of Utica, N. Y., and Thomas Dolan, of Philadelphia; treasurer, Benjamin Phipps, of Boston, and secretary, S. N. D. North, of Boston. The members of the various committees were also chosen. The resolutions urge upon congress the necessity of a revision of the tariff, and especially the tariff on raw material and manufactured woolen goods, in such a manner that both industries will be properly protected. Wool Manufacturers Meet. Strikers Use Dynamite Naw York, Oct. 3,—The strike of brick layers is still on. A number of strikers this moroing placed a dynamite cartridge in the offioe of Scan las'h slaughter house, and by its explosion the office was badly wrecked. No one was hurt. MUSIC HALL, Desire to Change the Church's Name. The High church element in the convention will urge the changing of the name of the church from the ''Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America" to "the Catholic church," and an earnest discussion of this radical proposition is sure tc ensue. Various other matters of importance are outlined for discussion, and, with the consideration of those above mentioned and such new questions as may arise, the three or four weeks usually taken by the genera' convention will probably be required by the present convention. Mysterious Disappearance. Tlie Advantages of a Friendly Alliance Nhw Haven, Oct. 8.—The mysterious dWappearance about three weeks ago of William Powe, of Ansonia, is causing much comment in that neighborhood. Powe was at one time treasurer of the Ansonia Brass company, and at the time of his disappearance was secretary of the Bridgeport Bronae company. His accounts with both conoerns are correct, but it is understood that he was personally greatly embarrassed financially, and it is generally believed that this fact caused him to leave his home. Another theory is that he has fallen into the hands of sharpers; and still another, that he is temporarily deranged owing to his difficulties i nd the re cent death of fcis daughter. ONE NIGHT ONLY We believe that friendship, avowed with can dor and maintained with good faith, will remove from American states the necessity of guarding boundary lines between themselves with fortifications and military force. We believe that standing armies, beyond those which are needful for publio order and the safety of internal administration, should be unknown on both American continents. We believe that friendship and not force, the Spirit of just law and not the violence of the mob, should be the recognised rule of administration between American nations and in American nations.

It will be a greater gain when we shall be able to draw the people of all American nation:) into closer acquaintance with each other—an end to tye facilitated by more frequent and more rapid intercommunication. It will be the greatest gain when the personal and commercial returns of the American states, south anil north, he so developed and so regulated that each snail acquire the highest possible advantage from the eulight ened and enlarged intercourse of all. Before the conference shall formally enter upon the discussion of the subjects to be submitted to it, I am instructed by the president to invite all the delegates to bo {.he guests of the government during a proposed visit to various sections of the Country, with the double view of showing to our friends from abroad the condition of the United States and of giving to our own people, in their own homes, the privilege and pleasure of extending £he warm tfylconieof Americans to Americans.
