: THE EPMIOPAL C9TJITIOII. !
.The Epiaoopil general convention at
ffliioago hM now got its work well in
jband and ia proceeding rapidly to dU
poae of it. Thursday the committee o&
miBsiona reported that it had received a
request from California boards of the
women! auxiliary board, asking that a
school of missions be established with a
view to working the Chinese! quarter of
San Franoisoo. Referred to the9 board
of domestic and foreign missions.
: The report on the proposed canon af
fecting marriage and divoroe was re
committed to the committee, owing to
the fact that Judge Bennett, of Massa
chusetts, one of the members of the com
mittee, had signed the report under a
miaapprehension. He found . himself
anable to eonenr in so much of the re
port as forbids the holy communion to a
woman compelled by years of suflfering
from a dranken husband to obtain a
divoroe, and who had regularly married
Some suitable person, according to the
established laws of the land; and also so
much of the canon as may seem, to for
bid marriage with a deceased wife's
sister. .
The resolution changing the name of
the diocese of northern New Jersey to

J The resolution of Mr. Judd, of Chioa-
So, to expunge the words 'Protestant

book, was called up for debate. :
'S The discussion was onenedbv Rev
Dr. Philip Brooks, of Boston, who de
clared that the pending Question over
shadowed in importance all others be
fore the present convention.' Be said
to style the Protestant Episcopal church
the American Cattalio church doomed
it to be the refuge of a contracted elef
ment in no sense renresentisp brotd
Americanism. It would confine it to
those who depended upon the apostolic I
Succession as a certainty of 1 salvation
He hoped God would forefend the day
When any such fantastic sten should be
taken.;; , ;
Rev. Dr. Gibson, of New York, de
olared that if ever a historical blunder
was made it was when the name "Episco-
pal" was applied to this church. He de
fended the abolishment of what he
deemed a meaningless title. ;
jj Rev. Dr. Harwood, of New Haven,:
opposed the change, and said it, would
-eause a convulsion In the church. , H
would drive from the church and would
keep from it that great body of Protest-
ants and northern races which hated the
word "Catholic." eonfoundinir it with
Romanism.

its hearty respect and affection for ill

jBaAUMON-r, Tex., 0t. 15. The first
reports of the' great disaster at Sabine
Pass wero not exaggerated, in fact the
death roll reaches 90 souls. The relief
parties that; went down as near Sabine
is possible on the Sabine & East Texas
railroad, are yet there, succoring the
destitute and the siok. The train oould
not get within twelve miles of the town,
but over a dozen tow boats have been
sent there and are at work saving life
and property. There is considerable
backwater yet at Sabine, hemmed in
and held there by the railroad embank
ment. The most intense exoitement has
prevailed here since the first news of
the fearful catastrophe. People have
neither eaten nor slept and crowds have
surrounded the wharves and depot,
waiting for the return of a train or
boat from the devastated town. The
steamer left Orange Wednesday night at
10 o'clork with a relief commission on
board. When she would return
no one knew, but a constant
watch was ; k3pt up at Orange and
here. At midnight she arrived here.
People hurried to hear the news and re
ceive the siok and, destitute. The re
lief committee aboard the Lamar consis
ted of twenty citizens from Beaumont
and forty from Orange. They traveled
up the Nuccb.es riverbetween 4 p. m.
and midnight, which waa an extraordi
nary trip, fraught with fearful danger.
Twenty-five of the committee were left
-at Sabine Pass, to make attempts to re
cover some: of the bodies, manv of
whioh are reported have been washed
dozens of miles, over into Lousiana
The members of the relief committee
who : returned were eo worn out and
overcome by the horrible devastation
they witnessed that it was next to im
possible to get a coherent story from
thim and as each, of the refuges were
surrounded by about 100 people it was
tquaily impossible to get a detailed ac
count from any one of them. The ex
act extent of the Btorm-swept district is
yet unknown. From reports brought
by the committee , it u certain that the
flooded district embraces an expanse
of country many times larger than at
first supposed. The gulf of Mexico
seems to have moved over the land for
miles,' in one high, unbroken wall of
water. The committee reported 101
persons missing, ninety, of whom are
kiiown to have been drowned.

A STORM'S WILD WOBK AT BUFFALO, K. Y.
Bumto, N. Y., Oot. 15.--a gale
which visited Buffalo last night did
great damage. The wind reaehed a ver
locity of seventy miles tan, hour. On
the like front, in the vicinity of what is
known as the sea wall, forty small
houses were totally destroyed by
the wind and water and several
persons perished; among them a sailor
named Chalres Mitchell and an old man
named John Edmunds. The bodies of
two children were recovered this morn
ing and also two' bodies which are' un
known. Twenty or thirty families are
rendered : destitute and an appeal
for aid has been issued. Many buildings
are damaged in the citj. The most
serious damage was sustained by the
splendid music hall, in course of con
struction. A large section of the rear
wall, which was nearly ready for the
roof, was blown down with a
terrifio crash, shaking houses in
the vicinity like an earthquake.
Tb CSUmco Strike.
Chicago, Illinois, Oot. 15-. The
situation at the stock yards was further
complicated this morning by the refusal
of twelve hundred beef butchers em-
ployed by Armour to go to work. This
long threatened strike of the beef butch
ers was decided on at the meeting last
night.
Knight of Labor Barry, sent, here
from Richmond, to try and t ffect a set
tlement, says he is satisfied he can do
no good here, as the packers will not
treat with him as an association, and be
will leave for Richmond immediately.
to lay the case before the Knights eon
vention. Packing town, the scene of the
great strike was filled this morning with
crowds of men, who stood idly by, dis
cussing the situation.
Chicago, Ootober 15. A morning
paper prints an interview with delegate
Barry, of the Knights of Libor, regard
ing the ordering-out of Armour's beef

formally declared war on this big pork
speculator, and it will be a war

the convention adjourns, and you may
depend upon it Armour's meats through

men are ooncerned we shall take care of

The order for the beef and sheep
killers strike this morning wasoocnaed
to Armour's establishment. This is
taken as an indication that the fight by
the Knights is being directed solely
against Armour. That firm is not at

PLUMIS TAKSN.
Richmond, Oot 15. -When the gen
eral assembly of Knights of Labor went
into session this morning tbo first busi
ness to be completed was the election of
the remaining general officers and two
members of the general oo-opcration
board. It was expected that thii would
take but a short time and that the con
sideration of the report on the revision
of the constitution, presented by the
committee on law, would be re
sumed. This, in turn, was to be fol
lowed by reports from other committees,
nearly all of which are ready tq report.
Among the first to be presented is the
report of the committee on the state of
the order, of which Ralph Beaumont is
chairman. This report endorses the
report of the committee on legislation,
of which Beaumont is also chairman,
and recommends that thelunnlementarv
report of the same committee, in which
a plan for a congress, composed of rep-
rcsciitatives cf the Knights of Labor,
to be established at Washington, be sent
out to all local assemblies for their ap
proval Beaumont is daily in receipt
of letters both from Knights of Labor
and others, commending bis idea. The
oommutee on the state of the order also
endorses the general master workman's
address to the general assembly, and
recommends the endorsement of the re
port of Charles H Litohman, special
agent appointed by the general
master workman to represent the
order before the congressional oommittee
appointed to investigate the cause and
effect of the Southwestern railroad
strikes. In his report Htchman recites
that the hearings were held at various
phces in Texas snd Arkansas, and says:
' l oe testimony in nenair pi trie raiiroaa
was mainly to snow what great damage
had - been caused by the strike to the
railroad property and commerce, that it
had been begun on a frivolous pretext
without any real cauce, ana tnat tne or
der of the Knighs tof Labor was directly
responsible for all the damage done and
ant an tne acts oi violence oomminca.
With unlimited resources at their oom-
mand it was comparatively ecsy for
the railroad officials, to carefully drill
their witnesses in lines ; of statement
which should fit each other, and this
preliminary drilling was painfully appa
rent in the testimony given. Like a
lot of parrots, they all echoed
statements that the only cause they
uu vver ujmM efT1 -
was the discharge of a man named Hal)
at Marshall, Tfxas. The ludicrous
sameness of this reply finally upset the
digtity of the committee and after being
reseated seme sixtv times never failed
the testimony presented on behalf of the

or n tract of 1885 had been persistently
broken and that a long line of grievances
had been suffered, complained of and
considered by the districts involved,
and that while the district assembly was
in session at Marshall matters cal-
minated in the discharge of brother C
A. Hall upon a flimsy pretext. As an
exposition of the case from: the stand
point of the men who struck,' the testi

by Elwari B. Hollia,oae of the striker?.

Litohman says:

lis and showed conclusively the exis-1
tenoe of valid reasons of complaint and
a sytem oi peny ayTauny vm mo par
of the railroad under-bpsses, which was
beyond the power of human forbearance
to patiently endure. All through the
investigation one fact was plainly shown

lovaltv of the members in obedience to
the orders of their superiors when the
word to strike eame. In many instances
the question was asked: "Would you
strike again under similar circum
stances?" "Most assuredly yes," was
the unfaltering reply, I can
not bnt think as a result oi
mv investigation that the railroad com
nanv had its spies iaour assemblies and
was fully informed ot every move maae
and action contemplated. . Knowing
- - ' , . - 3
that the discontent existing would soon
orovoke a oonfliot, the company quietly
massed a large surplus oi neip in toei
section and held them in readiness
for emergency. The company was bet
ter prepared than the: men. I have no
doubt the olaim of brother Hollie was
correct, that the Knights had good
reason to believe thai the engineers
would join them, for ; a prominent rail
road offioial told me personally that the
road fully expected tliat the engineers
would join the Knights and had
quietly arranged to, bring engineers
from a distance to tike their places.
Fortunatelv." he said, "we were able
to make arrangements by which the en
gineers remained loyal a;d the men from
a distance were not needed." Perhaps
the opportune visit of P. M. Arthur,
Chief of the Urothernooo. ot itoeomo
tire Engineers, to the southwest just at
that time may have been referred to
It is easv enough now to say that the
strike was ill timed, ill advised and
badly managed. It is easy enough now
to make Martin Irons the scapegoat and
sav he ordered the strike without an
thoritv, but the truth' is that every looal
assenbly voted to : give the distriot
board power to demand an adjustment
of the grievances oomnlained of and
the reinstalmeot of brother Hall.
, L. C. T. Sohlieber, of Massachusetts,
and J. M. Broughton, of Raleigh, were

oorps of general rfnofraaud their instal

pressed full eopfilenoe in the men elect
