Tho society cares for sixty-three missionary workers in foreign lands, besides somewhere between five and six thousand others, ineluding Sunday-school scholars. The exact figures cannot be ascertained, it being impossible to tabulate tho results of tbo work done by missionaries so far away: $19,123.68 was collected this year on "Children day," so-called over $5,000 more than last'year. The bequests fall several thousand dollars short of tho previous year. Seven new missionaries have been added to the number heretofore employed. Isaac Errett, W. II. Woolery. A. E. Myoxs, Jacob Barnet, J. B. Inman, and Mesdames John Shackleford, W. J. Loos and II. B. Goo are named as among those who have passed away since the last yearly meeting.

New York. Oct. 23. When the Episcopal convention opened, to-day, the president of the house of deputies, Dr. Dix. presented the Rt. Rev. Dr. Churton, Lord Bishop of Nassau, to the convention, and tho members arose in respect to the distinguished guest. The first business at the morning session was the report of the committee on canons in relation to tho organization of missionary dioceses, deciding that consideration of the subject was impracticable at this late stage of the proceedings. The colored question was reopened by tho committee on conference appointed by tho house of bishops, who recommended that the deputies accede to the desire of tho upper house, and pass the resolntion defining the attitude of the episcopate toward tho negro raco. The deputies declined to reconsider their action. The discussion of the subject of increasing the membership of the committee on the state of tbe church by providing for two delegates from each missionary jurisdiction and one from the church on foreign lands, followed. Dr. Nevin's motion was to amend by electing two delegates from all missionary jurisdictions and one from abroad. After some debate tho resolution and amendment were adopted. At this point the secretary notified the house that the bishops had again failed to concur in the adoption of I)r. Huntington's short oftice of prayer, as recommended by the conference committee. Another burning question was disnosed of by tho house the resolution of S. Corning Judd. of Chicago, to substitute for the words "Protestant Episcopal" the words "American Church," amounting toa change .in the title of ther church. This was, on 'motion of Mr. Judd, referred to tho next convention. Two resolutions reported back by the joint litnrgical committee were next in order. The most important was that the rubric following the prayer for the President of the United States be transposed so as to follow the col ect for grace in tbe morning prayer. This implies tho omission of the prayer, and it excited a number of speeches protecting ascainst such omission. Dr. Newton, of Virginia, called attention to the fact that there was no man in the land who was so burdened with reeponaibility or needed the prayers of the people more. The resolution was lost by a vote of ayes 7, nays 73. A recess was then taken. It was resolved that during the afternoon session, when the question of the marriage-nud-dl-vorce resolution will be discussed, the house shall sit with closed doors. The hour 3 cf bifihcfs have acceded to the re-

quest of tho lower house for a committee of conference in regard to therejected division of the diocese of Michigan. At the afternoon session the house of deputies sat with closed doors to consider one of the most momentous sections of the canonical law, that of marriage and divorce. Dr. Beuj. Franklin, of New Jersey, chairman of the committee, opened the proceeding by readiug the appended canon, comprising the groundwork of the existing canon, with the proposed amendments: Fection 1. If anyperson be -Joined together otherwise than as (iod'sword do them allow, their marriage is not lawful. - bee. 2. Marriage U prohibited by the word of God and by Ilia church within the degrees of consandnity and aillnity specified In Leviticus xvill, Vec 3. It shall be the duty of ministers to admonish the people from time to time that the church forbids clandestine marriage, and that its public solemnization ought nut to be dispensed with except for good canse and under special circumstances. No minister ball solemnize the marriage of any person under the acre of eighteen years, except the parent having legal chargo of such person or the guardian be present or have given written comment to tbe marriage. No minister shall solemnize a marriage except in the presence of at least two witnesses, himself or the witnesses being personally acquainted with both parties. Every minister of the church should keep an oitidal register of marriage, in which he shall reconrthe name, birthplace, age, residence and condition of each party, and the said record, duly transcribed in the same register, shaU be signed by both parties to the marriage, by at hast two witnesses and by the minister who performs the ceremony. Sec. 4. The law of the church concerning divorce is contained In St. Matthew, v, 32, xix. 0, etc. Marriage, when duly solemnized; may not be dissolved except for adultery and fornication. The guilty party in a divorce for adultery is prohibited from marrying again during the lifetime of the other partr. Persons divorced may not be married n train to each other, if the woman meanwhile shall have married acain. ec. 5. If any minister of this church shall perform a ceremony of marriage in violation of this canon, be shall be subject to trial and liable to admonition for the first oflense and to suspension or deposition fcr a repetition of tin same. Sec. 0. Tersons who eh all many in violation of the provisions of this canon shall not be permitted to receive tbe communion, except upon penitence and avowed nj?l separation, provided, however, that no minister shall in any case refuse tbe ncrament to a penitent person in Imminent dancer of death. 6ec. 7. Questions touching the facts In any case ariainK under the provisions of this canon may be decidcM by the ordinary, alter such Inquiry as he may deem neccsnary. tec. a. This canon, o far as It fixes penalties, baa no retrospective effect. Sec. 0. All previous canons on the subject afe hereby annulled. In presenting the foregoing Dr. Franklin stated that the principle of canonical law is

peculiar, an compared with civic and criminal law. Tho spirit of the devil cometh liko a Hood, and the question is whether the church should meet and grapplo with that spirit and take her position against tho Hood. Mr. Burgwin. of Pittsburg, answered the arguments of Mr. Packard, of Maryland, that it was out of order to vote upon the first section on the ground that it was already in tbeTconstitution, and by ottering an amendment by adding to the words, "and such marriage is hereby prohibited," and following Section 2. This brought tho House into a long debate on the propriety of a man marrying his deceased wife's sistor. Dr. Burgwin's amendment was carried by a vote of 134 to CO. Another debate occurred on Sub-section 1 of Section 3, stating thatlthe church forbade clnndestino marriages. On the motion of Dr. C Brown, of Massachusetts, it was stricken out and a recess until b o'clock was taken. Tho houso of bishops, at their afternoon session, completed the work of liturgical revision and adopted the canon relating to tho creation of an order of deaconesses. The upper houso declined to recede from its. position regarding the diviison of the diocese ot Michigan as recommended by the conference committee. It gave its consent to making the lines of boundary between North and South Dakota the lines of the missionary jurisdiction. The bishops have elected, with the concurrence of tho house of deputies, the Rev. Edward Abbott, rector of the St. James Church, Cambridge, Mass., as Bishop of the Jurisdiction of Japan, vice the late Bishop Williams, and the Kev. Anson J. Graves, recyr Of the Gethsemaho Church. Minneapolis, as missionary bishop of the new diocese of Platte, or West Nebraska. The night session of the house of depu ties was unproductive of results. The question of marriage and divorce again came up for consideration, and after a debate of an hour was referred to the convention of IStKJ for action. The question of admission of the foreign churches was also brought up and action postponed until tomorrow. The convention then adjourned. Woman's Foreign Missionary Society.

Parker, of New Hampshire, in the chair. An application from the California Universalist convention for the fellowship of this general convention was referred to the monitors. Assistant secretaries and committees on elections and religious service were then appointed.

Greeting was received from tho Unitarian convention in session at Chicago. lleliercs Job to Tie a Poetical Myth. Rockfokd, III, Oct, 2a Prof. E. L. Curtis, of the McCormick Theological Seminary, startled the orthodox congregation of tho Westminster Presbyterian Church hero, yesterday, by declaring in a sermon his bolief that the book of Job is only a poem, written by some pious Jew during tho period of exile. Ho asserted that the book was only a parable, and that Job and the other persons mentioned were but creatures of poetical fancy. He gave as one of tho reasons for this belief that it was not reasonable to suppose that any man who had become so reduced by lasting and bodily suffering could utter such lofty poetical sentiments as are ascribed to Job.

Umpires Gaffney and Lynch. The Brotherhood Convention. CniCAGO. Oct, 23. The Brotherhood of Base-ball Players has issued a call for a convention, which will meet in New York soon after the 1st of next month. Fred Pfeffer, who is reported to be at the head of the Brotherhood movement in Chicago, admitted this to a reporter to-day. "Each chapter will send one man," he said, "'and then all our grievances will be talked over. Of course I cannot say What. will be brought up before the meeting, but all grievances we have will be thoroughly discussed. Yes; the classification of players and the salary question will be an important consideration. I think wo can settle everything in a day; anyhow, we will not be in session over two days. "Will your grievances be presented before the League meeting, which occurs November 18?" "We agreed that it would be best to hold a meeting before the meeting of tho League directors, because we might decide to present our claims before them. But it is too earlv yet to anticipate what we will do. We have really not yet decided upon anything definite, and, until the meeting occurs, all talk about what action we will take is merely surmise that is, beyond what I Lave already told you." "Do -you think that the Brotherhood and League wiii get together and settle all possible disputes!' . "They may and may not. Wo are preparing for a battle, and have been looking around for grounds in differ?nt cities, ana we may decide to go into the base-ball business ourselves. It wo think we can make more money by acting independent of the League, why ww aro going to do it, but we aro not going to make auy kicks against the League doing just what it wants to, as regarding hiring - players, management, etc." Mr. Spalding is about disgusted with the mere mention of the word brotherhood, "If the newspapers would drop all this talk about a big combination of players and what they are going to do," he said, "I think the Brotherhood would quietly go to pieces. I don't know anything more about the Brotherhood than 1 see in the papers, and I don't believe the players who nave joined it havo any more knowledge of it than I have. Isn't that so, Dwyer!" Tins was addressed to the young pitcher of the club. l guess you are right, Mr. Spalding." replied Dwycr. "I don't know much about the scheme. I belong to it, and that is about all I can say."

i , i j tory - - ll f-1 THE ATTACK ON TOE VETERANS. Some Timely Suggestions from a Vermont Clergyman. To the Editor ot the New York Tribune: In view of President Eliot's opinion that "tho pension system, instituted for tbo benefit of the soldiers and sailors of th United States, has been prostituted and degraded by the whole series of Republican administrations;" and in visw of Senator Manderson's pathetic and manly position, as given in your own columns: 'I have kept silent under grossest abuso and most undeserved attacks that I uid not suppose could come to a man who had tried to do his duty to hiscountryinherneed. and had been grievously injured in that endeavor, because I coula not by precipitation of action reflect upon a gallant comrade who certainly supposed that within tho requirements of the law he was doina a kindly and proper act,"will you kindly republish the following letter addressed to and printed in "The Congregation alist," of Oct. 3. It is from the Rev. E. J. Ranslow, of Swanton, Vt. The attack upon the lighters by the non-fighters, a quarter of a century after the war is over, is as disgraceful a warfare as was ever waged. Gail Hamilton. Washington, Oct. 21,1889. Perhaps you will allow a word of explanation and defense from one who is an officer in this organization, and who has certainly a fair opportunity to know its inner history. It is not so much of apolitical machine as is the ordinary church. The members of this organization strenuously oppose any use of it for political purposes. Tho rules in this respect are very strict, and are strictly enforced. In all our posts there are many Democrats, as well as members of other political bodies. If my assertion were not true, then there would be trouble all along tho line. The attempt to make capital ont of tiis has been an ignominious failure, whenever attempted, because ' it had do basis in fact. The mere rumor that General Alger wished the position of Commander-in-chief becansn it might "be an aid to him in future political preferment, will work to his disadvantage when he comes to ask that preferment. This is not my opinion, but the opinion of a very large Bart of our Dody, as I nave reason to know. n this point we are cxtremelv sensitive. No man shall use our organization as a stepping-stone to political oilice. But it is just as certain that we will work and vote together for those ends which we bdieve to be for the best interests of the loyal soldiers of this Republic. In regard to the creat gathering at Milwaukee, while 1 admit that that city is the headquarters of the beer interest in the United States, and, beyond all doubt, vast quantities of that fluid were consumed; while also there were many things done which a large part.of our members did not approve still, there are facts which lie on the surface, and which may be known to all men. that approach the miraculous. It is estimated that the attendance aggregated 1SO.O0O; it could not have been less. A large part of these were soldiers. They were the very men who, European writers said, would endanger our Republic when disbanded. Now, with the best of opportunity for observation, I cant report that I did not see one man intoxicated. I did not see the police have any work to do except to try and clear the streets. I verily believe that neither before nor since would a girl be so safe from insult in any part of that great city. It was simply amazing. Here in prohibition Vermont I never attend a conntry fair but I rind some one who gets pugilistic, and wishes to emulate tho exploits of John L. For four days I closely observed these men as I passed back and forth through the struggling mass of humanity, and I came away moro than ever before proud to call myself their countryman. Strictures have also been passed in your columns upon tbe Grand Army of the Republic and the matter of pensions. As ono who has never asked for a pension, and at the same time knows something of the horrors of that great war, 1 believe I have a right to Rpeak. The reference to the hardships7' of those who remained at home mnst 6ound like rank irony to any ono who passed through one such battle as the Wilderness. The awful strain of one such day must take years from tho life of any man. On the other hand, never in the history of the country was there such opportunity to make money as that given to those who remained at "home, and never was an opportunity better employed. Looking back upon the horrors of thoso days, even as they came under my limited observation, it is ont natural that I should be restive at tho criticisms of any one who. by experience, knew nothing of them. Then. too. even in the matter of deserters, there is danger oi doing rank injustice. For the professional deserter no 6oldier has anv mercy. But let me state the case of thousands. A hoy, accustomed to all the comforts of home, enlisted in an old regiment April. 18T4.- In May he is pushed through the slaughter f the campaign that began at the Wilderness aud continued to the great surrender. Now, patriotism and courage will endure a great deal, but not everything. While there seems to be a chance for life, men will stand up and be shot at. But when one battlo

Otherwise, the time may come when we shall cry out, as Augustus in the agony of his spirit, "Varusl Varus! Where are our legions!" EXPLORER ROCKXnXI The Young Fhlladelphlan Who Recently Traveled through -Thibet. New York Sen. . William W. Rockhill. who has iust returned from an exploration of Thibet, tho northeastern and eastern parts of which he traversed for 1,400 miles, entering it from the sido of Turkestan, on the route from Koko Nor and Kumbum, and coming out of it on the southeastern border, by the valley of one of the main atiinents of the Yang-tse-Kiang. is a Philadolphian, about thirty-tive years old, 6ix feet four inches high, strong, athletic, and exceedingly good-natured. He is a graduate of the French military school of St. Cyr. to which he was appointed through the influence of E. B. Washburne, lata minister to France. After graduating, young Rockhill served four years as a lieutenant of the French army in Algiers, lie then resigned, and, returuing to America, settled upon a ranch in Colorado, whero he lived for several years. He was subsequently appointed assistant eecretary of legation at Peking by President Arthur, and became shortlv alter secretary of legation under Colonel Den by, during which Seriod he was for 6ix months chargo 'affaires in Cores. After residing In China for live years, during which time lie perfected hs knowledge of the Chinese and Thibetan languages and made many friends among tho Lammas visiting Peking, he Hpplied lor leave of absence, but not getting it, he resigned his appointment, brought his family to Washington, and then went upon the perilous explorations from which ha has just returned. He was gone within a few days of a year. and during his entire journey of over seven thousand miles he wore the costume, spoko tho language, and lived on tho food of tho 5eople through whose country he traveled, 'aking with aim but few servants, and fewer impedimenta, and moving rapidly through the more thinly settled regions, especially of Mongolia, Turkestan, and Thibet, ho escaped the attention of the ouicials to an unusal degree, and was thns enabled to accomplish what even Prejivalsky, the great Russian traveller, so signally failed to do. Abbe Hue, it will be remembered, entered the country by the direct route from Peking to Lbassa, and was expelled by the same route almost as soon as his presence became known. Rockhill avoided Lhassa intentionally, and penetrated deeply into the country before the Lammas saw through his disguise or discovered that ho was a foreigner. As soon as they satisfied themselves in regard to this they undertook to capture and imprison him, but, thanks to his celerity of movement, he succeeded in eluding them, and in making his way- safely, although throash many perils, across and ont of the country into Kechuen. the westernmost province of China. nerer as everywhere else in China, he was kindly received. After resting for a fortnight he continued his journey down the Yang-tso-Kianj to Shanghai, and thence home via San Francisco. Being an experienced traveler, be made a careful survey of his ront and kept full notes of all he 6aw and learned, from which ho will doubtless make a report to the English or Rnssian Geographical Society, or write a book, either of which must prove valuable, inasmuch as tbe route pursued by him has never been traversed by an American or European. Rockhill is a learned Orientalist, and is the author of several works on Oriental subjects, notably a life of Buddha, issued in Kngland. and printed by a leading punishing house in Boston. m t Prophetic Journalism.
