Barry's Aecoaats Balance
The accounts of forme- Adjutan: General
Barry with the state of Nebraska are bal
anced and the veterter: soldier comes out
with a, clean bill. Such Is the substance
of a supplementary report filed with tha
governor today bV Special Examiner Hor
ace Wiggins. With'-the aid of former
Governor Holcomb this morning Mr. Wig
gins found an obscure Item on the books
of the auditor that explained away tha
apparent shortage of $75.04 which befora
could not be located. The Item was entered
on the books as "premiums on stste warrants."-
The treasurers receipt, however,
showed that the money - was paid out of
the government funds that had been placed
In the treasury to pay the National Guard
soldiers. '
The practice of the adjutant general In
drawing out the appropriations from tha
treasury and placing It in a bank to his
own credit, against which he checks, has
long sine been discontinued by Adjutant
General Culver. This was done as soon
as Me. .Wiggins called his attention. to the
evils f the practice and will .not be re
sumed. Ce-operatlon on Statistics.

DEPUTIES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO RECEDE
tinea Approved la Practically the
Sssae as the One Rejected by
the Other Hesse Last
Week.
BOSTON, Oct. 17.-The house of bishops.
one of the legislative bodies of the Episco
pal general convention, today adopted an
amendment to the canon on marriage and
divorce forbidding the remarriage of apy
divorced persona. The amendment waa
substantially the same asthat which wn
rejected by the house of deputies on Friday
last The action of the bishops was not
unexpected, aa the sentiment of that body
was well known. In fact a similar amend
ment was passed at the San Francisco con
vention three years ago, but failed, as was
the case this year, to secure the support of
the other house. A conference of commit
tees representing the bishops and the depu
ties will be held to consider the disagree
ment, but leading clergymen do not antici
pate that the deputies will recede from
their vote of last week.'
In the .house of deputies today a proposed
csnon providing a court tof review to which
appeal may be taken from the decisions of
diocesan courts was reported and Its es
sential features adopted; though several
minor provisions went over until tomorrow.
Among these waa one grouping the dio
ceses and missionary districts into seven
provinces, each province to have a court
of its own. A proposal to establish a court
of appeals, a sort of supreme court, to be
composed of the bishops of the church, was
referred to the next convention.
' Special Prayer for Peace.
The house of deputies of the Episcopalian
convention today adopted a resolution pre
sented by Rev. Dr., James R. Winchester of
St Louts requesting the house ef bishops
to draw up a special prayer for the sick,
wounded and dying ot the Japanese and
Russian armlea and fof the restoration of
peace between Russia and Japan.
The house of bishops today voted to
place Guam and other islands near the
Philippines within the Jurisdiction of fhe
bishop of that district and several islands
nearer Hawaii were given over to the
bishop of Honolulu. The nouee ot bishops
also decided to make Mexico a foreign
missionary district of the American church.
It is understood a bishop will be elected
to administer chiefly to ths KogUsh speak,
inftt people in that republic Arrangements
also will be made for the care of churches
on the Isthmus of Panama.
In the house of deputies, ths special
committee sppoinUd to consider resolu
tions condemning lynching presented by
J. H. Stotsenburg of Indianapolis, reported
that as ths church stood for law and order
at all times, action on the resolutions was
not necessary. Mr. Stotsenburg offered a
Vfeubresolutlon, which condemned "the
brutal murder of colored persons and
atrocious assassination by hanging, burn
ing and fiendish mutilation." The whole
matter was placed on the calendar. '
Amends Mnrrlnae Canon.
Ths bishops at their late afternoon ses
sion sdnpted sn amendment to the canon
on marriage and divorce, prohibiting cler
gymen of the church marrying a person
who haa been divorced for any cause.
The amendment is ss follows:
No minister shall solemnise a marriage
between sny two persons unless by inquiry
he shall have satisfied himae f that neither
person has been or Is the husband or ths
wife of any other prrsoa then living, from

DES MOINES. Oct 17. (Special.) At
the national council of. Congregational
churches today received and considered at
great length the report of the committee
on comity, federation and unity, which
was appointed at the last triennial meet
ing held in Portland. There Is no doubt
that the committee report will be adopted
substantially without change and that as
a result there will be closed the most com
prehensive merger movement among
churches yet seriously considered.
The committee report related to two
separate matters. The one of most direct
Interest is the ffnion between three .de
nominationsthe Congregationallsts, the
United Brethren and the Protestant Meth
odists. The initiative for this merger was
taken originally by the Congregatlonalists
and other denominations were included,
but they all dropped out save the three.
The other denominations have finally
acted favorably on the proposals. When
this council sets it will close the dea'.
The members are all in favor of it and
there is no doubt of the final t union of
the churches.
The other question, that of federation be
tween a number of denominations, is re
lated to the union, but does not go so
far. The plan Is to hold a general coun
cil some time next year, where there will
be considered the formation of a p'atform
on which all ran work In a federation and
engage In mutual work. About a dosen
d iff went conferences and synods have al
ready accepted the plan and the Congrega
tlonallsts will do the same.
After an interesting discussion of the
fundamental principles ' of Congregational
ism, the National Congregational council
tonight adopted resolutions broadening the
scope of the duties of Its moderator. Prior
to the term of the retiring moderator. Rev.
Amory H. Bradford, the duties terminated
with the close ef .each triennial session.
Rev. Bradford, however, continued active
after the national council of three years
ago, visiting churches snd performing other
slnvlar duties. This course was criticised
os a violation of the precedent and ss hav
ing tendencies toward the building up of
an episcopacy. Tonight the national coun
cil endorsed the action of Rev. Bradford,
the retiring moderator, and adopted reso
lutions Instructing the new moderator to
"interpret his position generously as hav
ing in addition to presiding duties a rep
resentative function."
However, the reservation waa made that
his acts and utterances should be devoid of
all suthorlty.

tional Congregational council. Presi
dent Cyrus Northrop, D. D., of Minneapo

the great interest shown by out-of-town
people.
The advance in prices continued until

Pacifies,, grangers snd some of the spe
cialties were showing the effect of profit
taking: Then selling of Union Pacific in
considerable volume caused liquidation
throughout the list and msny of the ad

by heavy purchases of United States Steel

last nour. The lowest prices or the day
came near the close, when the movement
to take profits was general. The market
