EPISCOPAL (OWEXTIOy.
Parliamentarians Are Confused by the
Flood of Amendments on primate
Question.
Minneapolis. Minn., Oct. 9. 'When the
Episcopal deputies adjourned tonight
after listening to more oratory than has
Illuminated any previous day of the
general convention, nine-tenths or more
of the number were groping In the dark
and wondering Just "where they were
at." For hour after hour debate had
been progressing on the report from the
bishop's designating by the title of
"primate" the one who some day In the
dim and distant future might by virtue
of seniority be the head of the church,
but amendment after amendment had
been piled upon each other and then
dove-talled into each other, and then
the whole mass kneaded into a big ball
upon which was planted a substitute
that covered anything and everything
that had gone before, so that the parlia
mentarians themselves were 'bewild
ered and confusion became confounded.
The only other Important develop
ment of the day was the re-afflrmatlons
of the house of the title bishop coadju
tor" as a substitute for "assistant
bishop," and the receipt of a message
from the house of bishops approving
the section of article 4 of the revision
providing for the creation of five
"provinces" In this country, each
province to he presided over by an
"archbishop." The provision of the re
vision Is "the blshoos of each province
shall elect one of their number to be
primate of the province."

Neither Miss FMcler Jior her frlnd

strong Impression nmong the habitues
of the court house that an Indictment
will not follow.
DIKAXT ON THE STAND.
The Cullfornln Fiend, Accused of the
.Murder of Two tilrls. Recites His Own
Alibi.
San FranclsM. Oct. 9. Theodore
Durant unexpectedly took the stand
tP'Is mornlnng. When General Dicker
son called his name the defendant arose
from his seat. and. with a elastic step,
walked to the stand. He answered the
questions put I him In a steady voice.
He testified that he was 24 years of
acre. He knew Blanche I.amont, nnd
had bi-en Introduced to her bv her
aunt, Mrs. Noble. He associated with
her every week when she visited the
church. He ncted ns usher at the
morning services, nnd nlso assisted In
the choir. Whenever there was any
thing wrong with sun burners he al
ways repaired them. T'e met Miss Ln
mont on the mornljifT of April !?. nt the
corner of Twentv-flrst and Mirsion
streets, while on his way to the resi
dence of George R. King, to cet him
to h1n him repair the sun burners.
She told him r.he was glng to school
and he Invited her to walk along the
block with him. "I snld I would then
accompany her to school," continued
the witness. "She said she had no
time. It was already late, but would
be pleased to have me aceomnany her."
"T acceded to her request. We took a
car and transferred at Larkin street,
and atraln at Sutter street. She got
off at Oough street to go to school, and
I continued on to Webster street nnd
went to Cooper colleee."
"Did you see Blanche Lamont
age In?"
"I never did," replied Durant firmly.
He had attended college for three and
a half years. About norm he lft the
college and went north on Webster
street. bmieht a few nuts at a fruit
store on Clav street, near Webster, nnd
ate them. He was sway from college
about an hour. On 'his return he saw
on a blackboard the wnrrls. "D' P'l'l
mnn will not l"ctnre to-lay." He then
took a walk to Broadway, on which
street he met Student Carter. We re
turned tn cVtege -about 1 o'clock and
went to the tl'brarv to look nn authority
connected with his grarlnatinrr crr
clses. He had there a talk with Stu
dent TVgglns about catarrh, and id
vis. d DIgelns to ret nn atnmlzer. Dur
nnt was st'l' irlvlnfr his evidence when
the court adjourned tnr the nonn re

tnrnoon and probably tomorrow morn
ing. THEY STAYED OUTSIDE.
G. A. R. Veternns Would Not Remove
Their Hndf! nt the rhnrch.
Port Huron, Ilch.. Oct. 9 Fred
Smith, a veteran, was burled this
morning under the nnsnlces of Wlll'im
'San'horn Post. Grand Army of thp Re
public. The services were h'-ld at St.
Joseph's Catholic church, and conduct
ed by Father Spaeth. When the nnll
bearers arrived at the church door thoy
were requeste-d bv the priest to re
move their Grand Army of the Re
public badges. This they refused to
do a.nd remained on the outside until
the services were over.
The veterans are angry over the mat
ter. Father Spaeth said that, In re
questing the soldiers to remove their
badges, he was only following the rule
of the diocese, which states that no so
ciety, not approved by the church. Is
permitted to wear regalia in the church.
It Is not because the church l oppoed
to the Grand Army, but because It Is
not a Catholic organization.
ASSAULTED BY A WOMAN.

Pottstown, iPa., Oct. 9 While Laura
Royer. a daughter of .lehn D. Royer.
was wnlklng down Hich street she was
pounced upon 'by a strange woan. who
accused her of stealing her husbnnd,
and otherwise abused her. Miss Royer
was frightened Into hysterics nt the wo
man's threat to do her bodily harm,
and screamed for help: but when as
sistance came she was too much scared
to tell a coherent story and she was
removed to her home, where she Is now
In a hysterical condition.
In the excitement her assailant es
caped. There Is absolutely no ground
for the charges and It Is believed that
the woman was an escaped lunatic.

TURKEY BECOMES DEFIANT
Sublime Forte Shows a Disposition

Demonstration Armenians Still
. Korouln lnVhurcho.
Constantinople, Oct. 8. via Sofia, Bul
garia, Oct. 9. The streets of Constanti
nople and Its suburbs are still patroled
by police, ruin forced by troops, and It
is understood ithat the torpedoes sent
to the Dardanelles have been or are be
ing placed In position In tlhe Straits.
Ammunition has also been sent to the
forts, and from other military move
ments which are polng on It would
seem that Bhe Turks are preparing to
defend the passage of the Dardanelles
should Great Britain attempt a naval
demonstration In these waters.
There does not seem to be any ma
terial change 'In the diplomatic situa
tion. The TurkMh ministers have held
anotherconference. -and additional ciwn
municatUms have been exohsnged with
the representatives of the ptiwers; but
those monotonous! proceedings no
longer attract much aittetvUon, and few
people believe tbat any decided change
In the condition of the Armenians is
Mkely to occur unless the Porte Is forci
bly compelled to enter upon the work
of bringing about reforms In Armenia.
There no longer seems to be any
doubt that the Armenians anticipated a
serious disturbance when the attempt
was made Monday a week ago to pre
sent a petition to the Sultan through
the grand vlf.ler. and they claim that
those of their race who fell In the
streets of Constantinople upon that oc
coslon, were martyrs, who gave their
lives for Armenia In the hope of forcing
the powers to put extra pressure upon
the porte In the efforts being made to
bring about, reform In the administra
tion of Armenia.
The blockade of the Armenian
churches continues. All the efforts of
the authorities and the Armenian Pa
triarch have fa Hod to persuade the
Armenians, who have sought refuge
within the walls of the churches, to
return to their homes. They put no
faith In the assurance of protection
given them. The Turks, however, will
only allow Armenian ecclesiastics to
enter the churches, and when they
leave the buildings they are carefully
searched.
Releasing Armenians.
Tn awordanee wit?! the demand of the
representatives of the powers the po
lice authorities have begun releasing
the Armenians who were Imprisoned
as a result of the recent rlotiing. Two
of these unfortunates who were allowed
to leave the 55artleh pr'son were found
to bo In a pitiable condition, both suf
fering from seven or eight terrible
worlnds. They have made a statement
which has been communicated, to the
representatives of the powers, that the
prisoners had not received , ..Jood or
medical treatment for the -three days
previous to their release. They also
claim that the prison Is horribly over
crowded and In a shocking state of
ftlthiness.
TreWzond, Armenia. Oct. 9. Serious
conflicts between the Turks nnd Ar
menians occurred' here yesterday.
Many Armonlans were killed.
Constantinople, direct. Oct. 9. The
representatives of the six powers nre
still waiting for a definite retdv to the
communication recently handed to the
Turkish covernment on behalf of their
respective governments., and In which
they specify the reforms for Armenia,
which. In their opinion, should be ac
cepted by the government of Turkey
and promulgated In an Imperial de
cree. .Sucgestions, soml-ofllolal notes
and visits of government officials to the
envoys of the powers followed the re
ceipt of this oommunoatl'm, hut the dis
tinct categorical rt-ply of the Turkish
government seems to he delayed by first
one nuHible and then another: so much
so, that It Is nrderrrood that the pa
tience of the different Kuropean gov
ernments Interes'ed in the pronesd re
forms Is rapidly becoming exhausted,
and definite action nnnn their pari may
shortly be expected if a satisfactory re
ply from the porte Is not forthcoming.
The powers nt Inst seem to be In
complete nccord on this strMeot, and It
is not unlikely that Oront Rrl'taln may
take the Initiative in a display of force
in this vicinity. -

LORD SUKVILIE'S YARN.
J. C. Ilaneroft Davis Gives a Statement of
His Version of the Romance-Mr.
Rayard Declines to Talk.
Washington, Oct. 9. J. C. Bancroft
Davis, reporter for "the Supreme court,
who was first assistant secretary of
snate under Frcllnghuysen, and whose
conversations Lord Sackvllle repeated
In the pamphlet published in London,
made the following statement today:
"I appear In the account twice, once
In connection with an alleged request
made by Secretary Frellnghuysen for
the release of imprisoned Irish sus
pects, and once as receiving Informa
tion from Lord Granville of an alleged
Irish conspiracy to take Lord Sack
vllle's life.
"In regard to the first, what took
plaee between the two governments
was this: Mr. Frellnghuysen. by di
rection of the president, Instructed Mr.
Lowell to ask Loi-d Granville to have
the lord lieutenant of Ireland Instruct
ed to exerolse the discretion reposed In
him by low and ord-r an Immediate
trial for the prisoners, who had been
Imprisoned without trial many months.
This request, when pressed, brought
about the relonse of nil the prisoners.
I cannot recall that I had any conver
sation with the British minister on that
subject: but as his account appears to
have been a contemporaneous one It Is
probably substantially correct.
"In regard to the conspiracy against
Sir Lionel's life, this is the first that I
have heard of It. The 'telegram which
the account says was sent to the as
sistant secretary (perhaps an error for
the secretary) never reached me."
'Mr. Davis added that ho never knew
that any representation had been made
that Lord Lionel's life was endangered
and had never heard before that he had
been taken on a ten days' cruise by
General Sherman to avoid possible
violence to his persons.
London, Oct. 9. The representative
cf the Cnlted Press called today upon
Ambassador Rayard. who Is the guest
of the Marquis of Rath, at Longleat,
Warminster, Wiltshire. In reference to
the attack made upon him. bv. Lord
Sackvllle. Mr. llayard said that the,
matter was entirely out of his hands,
and was contained In the official diplo
matic correspondence exchanged be
tween Great Iirltaln and the United
States In 1SS1.
Mr. Bayard added that he would snv
nothing more, the foregoing being all
that was necessary.
