NO YOK E FOR REVISION.
The Prevailing. Sentiment Is a Desire to
Shelve the Matter So as to Avoid Giving
Offence.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 14. After se
curing the adoption of a resolution pro
viding for Html adjournment on Tues
day of next week, the opposition to re
vision, In the house of deputies of the
Episcopal convention made another
strenuous effort today to lay over the
new constitution and canons for three
years or until the triennial convention
at Washington.
Debate upon this proposal, which oc
cupied the entire afternoon session and
was unfinished at adjournment, was
precipitated by two propositions, one
referring back the revision to the Joint
committee that brought it Into exis
tence for further consideration and for
amendment and the other referring the
bishop's revision of the commission's
revisions to a special committee with
Instructions to report at the next con
ference. Of the score of more of speakers not
a voice was raised in favor of proceed
ing farther with the revision at this
convention, the one prevailing senti
ment being the desire to so shelve the
matter as to avoid giving offense to
the bishops who have been Industrious
ly laboring upon their own revision for
nearly two weeks, and have looked for
prompt action on the part of the house
below as a section was sent down. The
deputies may find u way out of the
dilemma tomorrow by adopting both
resolutions, which will moan two re
ports for the conference of ISPS and will
put off a final vote to the triennial of
1901. The only important feature of the
morning session was the effort to re
Introduce the titles of "Primate" or
"presiding bishop" Into the constitu
tion. The house was as llrm on this
point .however, as It wws a week ago,
and reaffirmed the designation "presid
ing officer of the house ot bishops."
Another effort to give the delegates
from missionary jurisdictions the right
to vote was also defeated, although the
clause as finally passed confers upon
them all ether rights and privileges en
joyed by regular delegates.
Just before adjourning this afternoon
the bishops agreed to erect a new mis
sionary jurisdiction In Northern Min
nesota to be presided over by a bishop
of Duluth.

DURANT TALKS.
Says That lie Still Has Much Good
Testimony in Reserve.
San Francisco. Oct. 14. IDurant was
seen today; he said he was ready for
this week's ordeal. He did not think

for rebuttal. He said two of the wit
nesses the prosecution had for rebuttal
had tried to get money out of the de
fense for Information they saild they
had which would be useful. Who these
witnesses were he would not say.

witness who said he saw him at the
ferry with a girl he thinks was Minnie
Williams, had a grudge against him.

Informed on Mm for an offense and that
in retaliation he "whipped Hohe."

the purpose of District Attorney Barnes
in regard to the alleged' statement In
an envelope addressed to his attorneys
not to be opened except In event of his
conviction. He said there was nothing
to the story and he could not see the
purpose of it. It was suggested that
prohsbly District Attorney Barnes
would try to show that he had pre
pared a final antemortem statement
for the benefit of his counsel. This led
Durant to remark that he believed a
man who would commilt suicide to be a
coward. He said there was no danger
that he would seek such an escape from
Ms troubles, even should they come to
the worst.

THAT GREAT "PKIZE FIGHT.
The Governor of Arkansas Will Kcslgn if
He Cannot Prevent tho Mlll-Corbctt Is
Downcast.
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 14. The United
Press correspondent found the governor
this morning 'thoroughly determined to
prevent the prize fight 'at all huzards.
He says that the action .of the circuit
Judge and the sheriff of Garland county
now makes it a matter of state concern
and renders him primarily responsible
for Its suppression. 'He is still hope
ful that those in charge of the prize
fighting enterprise will abandon all
further attempt to bring It about here.
If, however, this does not prove the
case, their efforts can only be inter
preted to mean that they intend to re
sist with force the efforts of the olllcers
to prevent It. In this aspect of affairs
the prize fight will drop out of view and
the contest will be one between the
power of the state and that of the in
vading forces of the prize fighting con
tingent. The governor has no doubt of
the result of a conflict between these.
That the authority and the dignity of
the state will be maintained goes with
out saying. If this should not prove to
be the case and the prize fight takes
place, in spite of the efforts of the offi
cers and the people, the governor says
he will resign his office and In future
leave the enforcement of the laws and
their resistance to invasion to more
competent hands.
