Bishop Cheney of Chicago, who has lately attracted considerable attention by resigning from tbo general council of the Reformed Episcopal church because that body voted against tho wearing of while surplices in tbo pul? pit, is ono of the most distinguished di UISIIOI" CUES'ET. vines in tho west. He has been tbo pas? tor of a prominent Chicago church for 87 years and lias a wide reputation as an eloquent pulpit orator. As Bishop Cheney has a number of followers who uro bound to wear tho white surplice or nouo at all, this incident indicates a split in tho chinch. The bishop is quite equal to leading such a movement, for ho was ono of those who wero the lead? ers in tbo revolt of 1873, when tbo Re? formed Episcopal church was founded. Bishop Cheney was born iu Cunandai gua, N. Y., in 1830 and has boon in tho ministry for 40 years. An Explanation.

Washington, July 8.?Congressman Ermentrout presented in the Hoc so to? day a batch of petitions und memorials, tho most remarkable one being that of A. M. Campbell, "g?neral manager of the American Anti-Usury Association," with headquarters at Catasauqtta, Pa.,in favor of the issuance by .the Secretary of the Treasury of $2,000,000,000 of Treasury notes, to be loaned without interest to States, counties, municipalities und indi? vidual citizens of the United States on proper security. CORONATION SERVICES. Tenure of Land on Condition of Personal Duty to tho Sovereign, Florence Hayward desoribes Queen Victoria's coronation roll in Tho Cen? tury. Tho writer says: After tolling how tho privy council was formed into a commission "to hear tho petitions of tbo lords, great men, nobles, knights and other with regard to services, duties, attendances, offices, feos mid rights connected with tho cerc inouy of coronation," tho roll states what these petitions were, or at least such of them us wcro grunted. Ono was that tho Duke of Norfolk, who claimed "tho right to find for tbo queen on her day of coronation a glovo for her majesty's right hand and to sup? port tbo queen's right arm on tbo smuo day as long as her majesty shall hold in her hand tho royul scepter, tho peti? tioner holding tbo niauor of Worksop by tbo aforesaid serviooa." In other words, if tho Duke of Norfolk had failed to provido tho glovo or to support her majesty's arm at that particular timo his owuorship of Worksop manor would havo been invalidated and the property havo rovcrted to tho orown. Another petition was Klint of Barbara, Baroness Grey do Ruthyn, who, as the head of her family, claimed tho right to carry the great spurs before her mujesty on tho day of her corouution and asked that Goorgc, Lord Byron, be appointed her dopnty for tho performance of that duty. Yet another was that of Francis, twelfth earl of Huntingdon. Tho earl? dom of Huntingdon had remained sus? pended for many years owing to the tenth earl dying without issue. When, howover, this twolfth in tho lino of suc? cession succeeded iu establishing, ns 11 descendant of tho second earl, his right to tho peerage, he also claimed tho right to carry ono of tho four swords of state in tho coronation procession, this, as well as other duties and services con? nected with the ceremony, being the condition of his tenure of lauds. Small wonder, then, that in announcing the omission of the procession it was im? portant to set forth also that tho uon perforuiunco of duties connected with it nhoiild entail no forfeitures.
