Washington, Oct. 7—A significant spe cial session of the Episcopal triennial council was held today when the house bishops joined the house deputies in a joint meeting to receive and do honor to the deputation from the English church in Canada. The Canadian church has no affiliation with that in the United States, but it is from common stock the church of Eng land. and this blending of the church forces from both sides cf the border is re regarded as in line with the recent Anglo- American trend of events. At teh last council a committee was ap pointed to convey the greetings to the church in Canada and this committee gave a report in agreeable form presenting to the gathering today a deputation repre senting the first churchmen of the domin ion. It is headed by his grace, the Right Rev. Archbishop Lewis, 'Archbishop and Judge Herbert McDonald, the latter being a lay representative.' Archbishop Lewis is head of the church in Canada. Bishop Doane, of the presiding officer of the house of bishops, extended an eloquent welcome to them. He said: “The name of the common church is one in England, in America, in Canada. As it is impossible, he proceeded for the waters of the St. Lawrence to create distinctions between things ecclesiastical in the United States and Canada, so too, it is impossible for the waters of the Atlantic to create dis tinctions between these of the two great nations.” Bright, hustling boys can make from $lO to $25 next week selling Carnival Editions cf The News.

Washington. Oct. 7.—When the council convened at 11 o’clock the government had received no further dispatches bearing on the Indian uprising in Minnesota. At the interior department at that hour nothing had come from the scene of the conflict since last night when Inspector Tinker announced the arrival of 215 sol diers at Walker. The officials naturally showed disap point as the time passed without the re ceipt of a telegram from the front. The department is puzzled to under stand why Indian agent 'Sutherland has not communicated, as both he and Inspec tor Tinker have, been instructed to report fully and frequently to The department. The report that the Mile-Lac Indians have started on the war path to join the Pillagers is given little credence and the interior department authorities insist in the belief that the uprising is confined to a small band on Bear Island. Commissioner Jones said today that there need be no alarm over the fate of Gen. Bacon's command, as there are ample facilities 03 the island in lumber, etc., for the protection of the troops. The authorities believe tne troops avail able in the vicinity are sufficient to quell die uprising, ss the fighting force on the little island can scarcely number over 150 I or tOO and they believe that there is little ! danger of reinforcements from the neigh- ' boring Indian bands.

I “The tug Flora left at 2 o'clock this I morning to bring out General Bacon and I his men and pending the return there will probably be nothing done. The indications are that toth sides will rest today with a fair prospect of the re sumption cf hostilities again tomorrow unless the Indians surrender in the mean time or make overtures for peace.

JO PRICE THREE f iNTS COMM'SSIOI/ ARE SPAHRIHG Spaniards Claim Their Rights and Equities in the Phil- ' ippines. DM SIGNIFICANT CABLE Negotiations Are On the Ve-ge of Stopping—Are in Session this Afternoon. Paris, Oct. 7. —The American and Span ish peace commissioners again confronted each other this afternoon. The American commissioners held a ses sion this morning and were occupied with recess they sought to perfect the United States’ position in relation to the alterna tive or contingent attitudes or proposi tions of the Spaniards this afternoon. Thus far the subject of the American pre sentment was not disclosed. It was its presentation at Monday's joint session -which caused the Spaniards to ask for or demand a recess from Monday till Friday. Whatever was new or stronger will possibly develop from the American side, having resulted from the secret con ferences with Merritt since Monday’s joint session. It is possible the Spaniards will enter the session today fully appreciating the position as vanquished, although they strenously urge the existence of rights and equities remaining to vanquished. On this subject the Gaulois says that, during the last 24 hours sensational and alarming news is afloat regarding the ne gotiations. It cites the English papens’alle gations that Judge Day has cabled to Washington saying that negotiations are on the verge of stopping owing to Madrid refusing to accent the United States’ atti tude regarding the Philippine islands. The Gaulois also makes the statement that Day is authorized to suspend negotiations if the Spaniards do not conform to the American views and declares, however, that w-hereas the Spaniards at the outset were obdurate they are- now disposed to modify their intentions owing to the firm ness of the attitude of the United States people, which it is claimed are now ex cited to the point of insisting upon holding the Philippines.
