ADJOURN SINE DIE. . % The Episcopalian Convention Comes to aT End-—-The Pastoral Letter. Minneapolis, Minn,, Oct. 23.—Th convention, on its last day Tuesday, showed an apparent minority of delegates remaining, evidently only enough te constitute a quorum for the winding up of necessary business details. The Pennsylvania delegates offered a resolution recognizing the u’niforxii dignity, courtesy and kindness of the presiding officer of the house, Dr. Moxgan Dix, off New York. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote and Dr. Dix responded in a graceful and touching manner. : : Following is an abstract of the bishops’ pastoral address issued at noon Tuesday by the secretary of the house of bishops: o In discussing church unity the bish’{’ ops are not hopeful of immediate o general results save in the spreading of the sentiment for unity throughout Christendom. They complain thzjt while the theological schools are turning out many graduates, and candidates for orders are about as numerous as ever, there is a lack of self—sacrificing men willing to spread the faith in foxeign and heathen lands. ' Speaking of the recent assault upon Christian missionaries in China, the address says: :

‘“Missions in China have recently suffered a great disaster. When least expecting it, the church has been shocked by an outbreak of hostility and violence, which in the world’s estimation has revived tlie question of the church’s right to be there at all. Devoted missionaries have sealed with their blood the faith they were sex?t forth to teach. ‘““Such a crisis in missionary work will not be without its use and purpose if, as like ones have done in the past, it brings 10 the front and sets in battle array a largeér measure of the heroism always latent in the militant host of Christ. For the present, then, the moral of this calamity is, more, not less men in the field, and largér offerings by the church to sustain them."}‘ Speaking of Sunday observance, the address says: - ‘“‘Recent events in some parts of our country compel us to call your earnest attention to a widely spread and determined attack upon the use and purpose of the weekly day of rest known from the béginning of the Christian era as the Lord's ay. i “yW'e exhort you, dear brethrenm, to meet this menace with unfaltering courage and resolute determination, and in no opportunity that may be presented to decline battle with the insatiate ' greed of the liquor traffic, and the growing desire for popular pieasures and amusements, whic¢h with -increasing boldness claim all davs alike for their uses. In this connectign the house of bishops, in view of recent opcurrences in several of our states, desires to express its hearty approval of the prompt and courageous application of,the powers of civil government for the- - of barbarous, brutal and indecent exhibitions and recreations of whatever sort.” - i In regard to Turkish atrocities #n Armenia there is the following: “By the tender mercies of our God, afid the infinite compassion of our commoen Saviour, we beseech you, brethren, to remember in your prayers and with yo'thr prompt and liberal help, .that long suffering and down-trodden people of the ancient and faithful church of Armenia. To wasiting oppression and presecution extendiq\g far back: into the past, has now been added. by the fanatical violence and hatred of Moslem power, the unspeakable atro}ities of to-day. Such a cry for sympathy and aid has seldom been heard in all the ages of christendom.” e i

The spirit of unrest in the land fis commented on and the remedy for it .1s declared to be accessible in the church. Fully a third of the letter is devoted }0 a discussion of certain tendencies in the chureh toward ritualism, and, j;n the other hand, toward too great liberality. Unauthorized methods of celebrating communion and other officgs of the church are' severely rebuked and the letter makes this significant statement: : |

“We are indeed between two perilous teh‘dencies. On the one hand thereis a dematd for concessions which will make it easy fopr members of Christian bodies not in communion with the church to enter her \miniftry, to transfer themselves bodily as congregations, with fdint and feeble guards of soundeess in their forms of wirship. On the other ‘there is a plea put forth by somse to enter into negotiations with the bishop of Rome with a view to reunion, whith is now known to be possible only by absolute submission to his unscriptural and unlu.w‘tllul demands. The wise thing for us to do is|to hold fust to our position. " 1 Gethsemane church was crowded at the joint meeting of the two houses Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The pastoral letter was read and the Episcopal general convention for 1895 closed sine die with the usual services. ? RUSSIA AND COREA. '» T | England Jealously Watches Developmeunits in the East. f London, Oct. 26.—The dispatch from Shanghai Thursday afternoon, announcing the departure of afleet of ninetecn Russian warships from Vladivostock for Chemulpo and Fusan, Cor ’g,. and the Times dispatch from Hojxg Kong, announcing that Russia has optained the right to anchor her fleet ft Port Arthur, and construct railroads on the Liao-Tung peninsula, have causé'ad intense excitement in official circles here as well as in those having commercial relations with the far east. These most important statements are looked upon generally as being a suidden reopening in an unexpected quard‘er of the far eastern question in its xvideFt sense. - | The Shanghaidispatchadded that the Japanese fleet in Formosa waters had been recalled, that several British warships had been ordered to Corea and that preparations for a struggle were visible on all sides. The Hong Kong cable message to the Times caused that paper to remark, editorially, Friday: | ‘“Russia cannot possibly imagine that the great powers will view with indifference such a destruction of the balance of power, which is almost unparalleled in its audacity. China’s option to purchasé the railways is a jest almost too cynical to find a place in any serious diplomatic trunsfigtion. Under the indicated conditions Manchuria would practicaly become a Russian province, while Peking would be within Russia’s grip.”” - : o

SENATOR HILL SPEAKS,

Declares for “Persgnal Liberty” at a New York Mass Meeting.

New York, Oct. 26.—Senator Hill was the central figure in the great democratic mass meeting under the auspices of the state cominittee which was held at Cooper union Wednesday night. Ered R. Coudert acted as chairman and with a few complimentary remarks introduced Senator Hill. The senator declared that the principles of the democratic party are so plain and explicit that they do not need to be avoided. “We have dodged nothing in the campaign and we are attempting to deceive no one. Ifweareright we wantto win; if we are wrong, we deserve to be defeated.” Speaking of the tariff bill enacted in 1894 by the democrats,Senator Hill said: ‘‘Sufficient time has not elapsed to determine accurately whethelktts.reductio_ns were all wise or justifial¥e, but it is believed that in the end it will be proved that they were not unreasonable. It is possible that in the anxiety to relieve the people from the enormous tariff taxation, largely prohibitory in its character, imposed inder the McKinley bill, the reductions were pressed too far, but that fact has not yet been established.””” As to the Sherman silver law the speaker said: ; , ‘““The democratic party may not always Kave acted with entire wisdom in regard to silver, but this much can. be said, that it was not responsible for th@Sherman silver law. That law was republican in its inception, in its enactment and in its enforcement. The law had ceased, but its mischief remalns, because there had been issued under its provisions $150,£00,000 of legal tender paper mceney, with substantially no available assets with which to redeem it, and which to-day is disturbing the treasury and embarrassing its operations.” The senator devoted a considerable portion of his remarks to what he regarded as one of the principal issues involved in the campaign—viz:\ *“‘Personal liberty.” Personalliberty meant liberty Tregulated by law-—reasonable law. Continuing, he said in part:

‘“The democratic party has always been the consistent champion of personal liberty. It will not change its aititude by reason of misrepresentations or the threats or the boasts of puritanism. The persistent misccnstruction of the Sunday provisions of the existing law and the difficulties of securing the same without long and expeasive litigation render some additional legislation desirable. It may be thatif the ex< cise law was enforced alike in all the municipalities of this state—enforced liberally, charitably ahd reasonably—there would bie no necessity for new legisaltion. The people. demand it and popular sentiment shduld be respected in that regard. Upon this question the two parties have declared themselves. We have not said we favor the opcning of salocns upon Sunday throughout the state, neither have we said we are opposed to it. We have simply declarcd that the people of each municipality should be permitted to determine that question for. themselves. This is a safe and just and a satisfactory disposition of the question.” g ALL RECORDS BROKEN. A Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Trdain Makes Fast Time. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 25.—Railway records of the world were smashed Thursday by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway. It ran a train from Chicago to Buffalo in 7 hours 50 minutes and 20 seconds actual running time at the rate of 64 8-10ths miles an hour. The récord was as follows: Chicago to Elkhart, 8§7.4 miles, in 85 minutes 26 seconds. : . Elkhart to Toledo, 133.4 miles, in 14 minutes 35 seconds. .

The run from Chicago to Buffalo was made for a practical object. It was neither to beat the rgcord of the English roads nor to show what speed could be attained on the roadbed, but to ascertain at what rate a commerciallypaying train could be made to go safely. New York, Oct. 25.—The New York Central Empire state express brought into Grand Central . station at 10:15 Thursday night several of the party that left Chicago on the Lake Shore fast train early Thursday morning.

No sooner said than Reed stepped into the street and both opened fire, Reed’s second shot with his Winchester taking effect in Dick’s side near the heart. Sinking to the ground, he died in a few minutes. Reed, after due deliberation, left for parts unknown. The Crittenden brothers. have shown themselves good officers when sober and have assisted in capturing several of the noted outlaws of 'the territory, and are well known throughout the territory as brave men, never known to flinch under fire: -
