NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-The next throe
weeks will witness the making f ecclcsb
OBtlcal history hero by the triennial gen
eral convention of the Episcopal church
n.irlnnlnc- Wednesday. October 8, 116
bishops. 305 clerical and 305 lay delegates
will meet at the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine to hold dally sessions until
October 24.
The house of bishops and the house of
deputies will discuss amendments to tho
church constitution.
No provision has been made for pre
sentlng to tho convention the question of
changing the corporate name of the ae-
nomination. Churchmen and laymen of
high church tendencies have suggested
that the present name, "The Protestant
Episcopal Church In tho United States
of America and Its Tributaries Beyond
the Beas," be replaced by "American
Catholic Church." Delegates, already
here expressed the opinion, however, that
the low church party would be In tho
majority at the convention and that those
who favored another name did not wish
to risk defeat at this convention.
Remnrrlnge of Divorced.
The question of the remarriage of dl
vorced persons may be forced upon the
convention by Individual delegates, but
no provision has been made for Its for
mal presentation. A sentiment hau ex
isted in favor of changing the constitu
tion so that Episcopal clergymen may be
permitted to perform the marriage cere
mony for the Innocent party to a dl
vorco. At present the church does not
sanction the remarriage of divorced
persons.
Relative strength of the high and low
church sentiment may be tested on tho
opening day when the house of deputies
elects-its presiding officer. Tho two lead
tng candidates are Rev. William F. Man
, nlnCM.5ii.P -of Trinity church, New York,
and Revi Alexander Mann, 13. D.ypf Trin
ity church, Boston. Dr. Manning Is one
of the high church leaders. Dr. Mann Is
well known for his low church tendencies,
Question of Representation.
The convention will receive a report
favoring tho method of representation In
' the house of deputies. At present each
diocese. Irrespective of Us numerical
strength, is represented by four clerical
delegates and four lay delegates. It is
proposed to leave the total number of
delegates unchanged, but to reapportion
the voting strength so that instead of
each delegate having one vote, voting
power shall be based on a fractional sys
tsm depending upon tho number of com
inunlcanU In each diocese.
A committee appointed at the last Ben
apaI In ninnlnnnll ...lit
Via. bviiTctiuuii .it vjnitiitiiuil niu HI
ommend that a special diocese bo con
stltuted, embracing the regular army
posts and the naval reservations and tho
vessels of the navy. Indications are that
this change will be sanctioned.
As to Pensions.
A committee that has investigated
pension system will recommend at the
age of 65 clergymen may retire and re
celvo thereafter one-half their average
salary since they entered the church
service. The report provides that widows
of clergymen shall receive yearly pen
slons of one-halt the average salary their
hiisbands received during the years, of
their marriage. It will be proposed that
the children of deceased clergymen shall
receive for educational purposes 1100
year, between tho ages of 4 and 7, Z0O
a year between the ages of 7 and 14, and
$300 a year between the ages of 14 and
II, during dependency.

tstant commissioner of Indian affairs.

office, not only as assistant commls-
loner. but as acting commissioner, that
the Board of Indian Commissioners de
cided to Becuro his services, It possible.
By a unanimous vote of the commission
Mr. Abbott was asked to assume
charge of the office maintained In
this city, the difference In salary be
tween 'assistant commissioner and secre
tary of the board to be made up by vol
untary contributions. Tho offer, comlngj
as it did, wholly unsolicited, was Inviting,
as It would permit Mr. Abbott to work
out certain reforms In tho administration
of Indian affairs which he inaugurated
while acting commissioner in charge of
the Indian bureau. Believing that he
could be of practical benefit to the In
dian tribes by associating himself with
the Board of Indian Commissioners, the
offer of tho board was accepted today
and he took formal possession of his new
office.
History of Uie Board.
Tho Board of Indian Commissioners
was established by an executive order
signed by President Grant on June 3,
1869, In pursuance of on act of congress
of April 10, 1869, to enable the president
to carry out the then new "peace policy"
of dealing with the Indians. Its original
duties were to "determine upon the roa
ommendatlons to be made as to the plans
of civilizing or dealing with the Indians'
and to "advise as to changes in modes
of purchasing goods or conducting the
affairs of the Indian bureau."
Tho board, consisting of ten members.
serves without salary, ana is '"ap
polntcd "by tho president solely from
men eminent for their Intelligence and
philanthropy." Hon. George Vaux, Jr.,
lawyer In Philadelphia, prominently
Identified with charitable and public In
stitutions and a man widely informed
on Indian matters, Is chairman. The
functions of the board are those of an
advisory body, having the sanction of tho
government and their expenses paid by
congress, and yet reasonably free from
government restraint or Influence, with
duty of forming and expressing Im
partial opinions on Indian affairs and
assisting tho administration to safeguard
against danger of error, fraud, and lt-
justlc to-which, Infllanadmlnlstmtlori Is
peculiarly expose, xne aunes oi ino
board as an advisory body in connection
with Indian Affairs are as broad as the
law can make them and compare with
those of a board of trustees of a large
university.
What Abbott Alma At.
The secretary is the executive officer
of the board and has offices in tho
building occupied by tho Burea of Mines,
where he can keep in close touch with
Indian legislation and administration.
Among tho objects which Mr. Abbott will
try to accomplish during his term are:
Encouragement of agriculture among
Indians through investments of Individ
ual and tribal funds in the purchasing
of farm equipment and live stock, es
tablishment of Inldan fairs and farm
associations.
The working out of a policy of reim
bursable appropriations from congress, as
a substitute for commercial banking
facilities among Indians, for making
loans to them to be used In the pur
chase of agricultural equipment necessary
to make themselves self-supporting.
Regulations providing for the payment
of Interest on individual Indian moneys
deposited to the official credit of super
intendents, formerly deposited without In
terest, aggregating approximately IX,-
000 annually.
Removal of red tape In the method of
handling individual Indian money and a
wide extension of the leasing privilege
to competent Indians.
Will Ilenrranse Service.
Complete revision of regulations for the
Indian service, including a complete re-
organization of methods of field inspec
tion is needed to make that service effi
cient and to properly safeguard Indian
property rights.
The inauguration during the year of a
policy of competitive bidding for oil and
gas leases, and increasing the rate of
royalty for the Indians from one-eighth
to one-sixth, which will result In a profit
of many millions of dollars.
A modification In the method of pay
ing claims for supplies for the Indian
service so that contractors may receive
payment on an average of within thirty
days aftor receipt of Invoice, where for
merly much more time was required for
settlement.
Preliminary steps looking towards re
lieving tho government of the expense
of maintaining charges for Indian Irriga
tion projects and having the same made
a charge against the landB benefited.

that he would buy him "a nice now
wheel" and directed Dr. .Grayson to at
tend him constantly. The" boy was taken

Sulzer last night was said to have per

escaping cross-examination on a targe
part "f it
It was generally repbrtcd that t his
attorneys continued to Insist on his cur
tailing his sworn testimony as they are
said to be doing he will abide by their
demands, but will Issue a statement tq
tho newspapers containing that part of
his narrative barrod by tits lcgat ad

Should he do this he would get his
whole story to tho people, which he al
ways has Insisted he would accomplish
in some manner. One thing that he has
told many callers and maintained In
talking with his counsel is that the peo
ple are entitled to know everything that
he does about the inner workings of
political organisations In the state. But
ills attorneys have pointed out repeatedly
that if ho lets his anxiety for divulging
Information carry him too. far he will
open tho way for tho severest cross-examination
for counsel for the board of

will be much less sensational than the

FIGURATIVELY TEARS UP SPEECH
datmtUutrs Three-Minute Tallc on
"Progressive Republicanism" to
IlepnhlU-nn Convention at
llnston.
BOSTON, Miss., Oct; G.-Congressman
Augilst. P. Gardner, who had repudiated
the state committee, declared at the end
ot a sharp fight In the republican Btote
convention yesterday that he would run
on a platform of hla own.
Ho would fulfill, he sala, his promise
to the 40,000 people who chose hint at
the primaries, despite his obligation to
the party as represented by the majority
ot delegates present.
This new turn In the political situation
followed the defeat of the committee In
four successive attempts to amend tho
resolutions so as tn make the platform
square with his assertions on the stump.
Set Speech Useless.
When the tight was ended. Mr. Gardner
figuratively tore up his prepared speech
of acceptance and substituted a three
minute talk on "progressive republican
Ism." He explained that as the four
cardinal points in his address had been
rejected, his set speech was useless.
In his speech lie said: "I am not un
mindful of the duty which J owe to the
father candidates, or the duty I owe to
this convention, but there are omitted
from this platform four of the principal
issues upon which I have been waging
my campaign. Now, I know that my
duty to the other candidates conflicts
with my duty to the 40,000, or whatever
the number was, who nominated me. I
went throughout the length and breadth
of this commonwealth and 1 advocated
the real restriction of immigration.
For Women's MlnniMini Wane.
'I advocated a minimum wage for
women. I advocated tho use or the state
credit to assist suburban home seeker)
and relieve the congestion In the clities.
I advocated the compulsory publicity ot
tho facts In Important labor disputes nnd
to all these things I am committed,
gentlemen, and I cannot consent to go
before the people of this commonwealth
and take ono position before I am nomi
nated und another after I am nominated.
"J was asked what I would do It this
commttto on resolutions did not put
those planks In the platform. I said I
could make my own platform and I
would run on that because I can't do
anything else. These 46,010 people voted
for me on the supposition that 1 meant
whit 1 said and I am not going to ms.ke
any change.
Platform Adopted.
BOSTON, Oct. 6. With ' a discordant
note on any topic, the democratic state
convention In Faneull hall yesterday
unanimously adopted a ylatform prepared
by tho resolutions committee and en
dorsed the state ticket headed by Lieu
tenant Qovurnor David I, Walsh, which
was nominated in the recent primaries.

the differential should not bo construed

twoen tho United States and a foreign

Literally Interpreted. It Is declared the

urease to goods In American bottoms and
automatically grant the samo privilege to
tho samo ehlpo of the many nations
whose treaties with the United States1
guarantee no discrimination between their
vessels and thoso ot America.
Involves Millions.
This construction, which would be a
horltontal reduction of R per cent in th
tariff for Importation from most of tho
countries of tho world. Involves millions
In revenue for tho government, creating
a deficit Instead ot a surplus In the
treasury, an has been estimated by tho
tariff framcrs. Tho question will un

and ultimately will reach the United'

Sheriff's Auto Bill
Large, Board Thinksi
Because blils' for automobile hire Iri
curred by Sheriff Mcflhane and his
deputies In trips to resorts and places
where gambling is permitted and liquor
Is sold after hours n considered ex
orbitant, the Board of County Commis
sioners Is holding up a claim for J103 for
two months' expenses of this kind. !
Board members who oppose payment ofj
to large an amount say they are willing
to pay legitimate expenses incurred In,
this manner, but that S0 a month la too
much because the sheriff has occom
pllshed almost nothing in the wuy oq
raids.
Part ot the bills whph McKhane is
asking tho county to pay were incurred
in "investigations" of resorts and In
other trips for which, the board mcmberx
understand, the sheriff's office Is. paid
in mileage, such as trips by deputies to
investigate reports ot robberies, escapes
