Cm«'A«iO, October 1»».—The tuileries and lobby of the Central Music Hall were crowded to the utmost, this morning, when the Protestant Episcopal Convention qwaed, asitww known that the great dehate on Mr. Jodd's proposition to drop the "Protectant Episcopal," in designa ting the church, would clos«.*. Morning prayer was said by Rev. Hohart Cbetwood, of California, ami the benediction was pronounced by Bishop Tuttle of Missouri. The discussion was opened by J)r, -Stringtellow, of Alabama, who argued for a postponement of the consideration of the question on the ground that the time was not ripe. Rev. Mr. Stoddard, of Northern New Jersey, held to the same view. Mr. McConnell, of Louisiana, bitterly oppose«! the proposition to change the name of the church, and l>r. Sheffield, of Virginia, took the same view. The debate was then cloned by Mr. Jodd. who contended that the opposition did not represent the pro gressive spirit which should actuate the church. The church .should take on its broad and true name, and this was not to be confounded with Romanism. Mr. Judd spoke for twenty minutes considering the question from all points, and when the hour of 11 o'clock lud arrived the debate was declared closed and .ho balloting com menced amid absolute silence. The names of the clerical delegates were called tirst, and were quite evenly divid ed on the proposition, but the sentimeut of the lay delegates was generally opposed to the proposition. The vote by dioceses was as follows: Forty-nine dioceses voting, » majority of the clericals in 17 dioceses voted aye; »majority voted no in 22 dio ctfles, and 10 dioceses were erenlv divided. In forty-four dioceses the majority of lay delegates in 11 dioceses voted aye and in 29 dioceses voted no, and in four were ev enly divided- The total vote was: Ayes. 112; nays, 1S». The Southern delegates generally voted in favor of the resolution, and the Eastern dioceses against it. The comparatively strong vote in favor of the proposition was a surprise to the conven tion. The report of the Joiut Committee on Liturgical Revision was submitted and laid on the table to await the action of the House of Bishop«. The report is one of nn usaal length, embodying numerous me morials for a revision of the prayer book. The convention theiyodjonrned until next Monday. m Urform in the Ntry.

I ; Eighty-Five More Lives Added to the Enor mous List I DISASTER AT JOHXSOX'S BAYOU Two Whole Towns Swept Away and Onlj Forties Bodies Recovered. Nkiv Orleans, October 16.—A dis patch to the Times-Demoeràt, dated John sod's Bayou, October 15, aays: ' The vil lage of Johnson's Bayon is a high ridge on the sea coast, and the bayou from which il takes its name runs through the inhabita ble partâof that section of the settlement, in which is alio situated the postofhce station known as Kadtord. They art» in Cameron parish on the Louisiana' shore, six miles east of Sabine Pass. The Bay ou is nineteen miles in length and varies from one to four miles in width. Ridges face the gulf twelve feet above the sea level, and in the rear is a dense and im penetrable marsh. The population ou last Tuesday morning numbered twelve hundred souls. To-day eighty-five of that number are counted with the dead. For ty bodies have been found and consigned to graves in the shell reefs, while the de composing corpses of the remaining forty five lie festering in the marshes. Radford was very thickly settle«! and populous. It boasts of its cotton gin and cotton and cane plantations. It was tht head of navigation and the stores wert many. Principal among these were those rnn by J. Paverto, who also operated a gin and turned out annually 8l>0 bales ol cotton praduced in that section. The other stores were owned by A. B. Smith & Co. and J. Griffith, general mercliandise, and other small merchants constituted tht commercial community. The handling ol cotton and sugar cine produced in thai district was the principal industry. Thest ridges compose«! some of the richest and mo«t fertile grazing land in the conntry, *,(MK) head of cattle and horses beiny owned by the thriving community. Com munication with the outer world was had through two steam vessels, l>oth owned iu in.Johnson's Bayou and Radford, while a fleet of trading vessels plied the waters ol the bayou. Such was picturesque Johnson's Bayox, or rather a series of ridges over which 1,*200 population were SCATTKREO j on the worniug of Tuesday last. Happi [ ness ami contentment was the lot of Un people until four o'clock that evening. When the storm descended upon them everyIkxIv took to their homes and waited with hated hreuth the late which they foresaw. The waters began risipg, the wind swept through the lower stories of buildings, driving the atVrighted people in to attics and upon roofs. By 10 o'clock the tirst ridge, which was twelve feet above the sea level, was ten feet under water. House alter house fell in, cr was swept away, either burying the doomed people in the debris or hurling them into the hissing waters. Cotton warehoused and stores next succumbed, aud Radford and Johnson's Bayou were destroyed as completely as if an invading army had done the work. It was a night of terror. descril>ed by survivor? as appall iug. People elunu to each o'her and prayed for mercy and for the sou's of those whose despairing shrieks rang on their ears. For twelve hours the sto:>n raged over the devoted settlements :»ud then there came a lull, when the wateii receded and the storm passed away. Ti>" survi vors gathered on the most elevaU[1 points, viewiug the scene of desolatioi* around them. The houses tliat hail stoor the ac tion of the storm were completely^ gutted. There was no food nor drink; suit water having evaded everything. Tfien the search for the dead began. Those whose bodies lay pinioned by the ruins of houses were speedily recovered. From out of the marshes more corpses were taken aud likewise buried. THE DEATH ROLI. was then made up as follows: Mrs. Frank Tirner and two chil dren. Locke, wife and seven children. M us. W.

The following is a list of the colored people whose bodies h»Te been recovered and identified : Elever Johnsox and wife. Jack Lewis, wife and brotlie-. Richard Hambrick, wife aud five children. THE REFVOEES. Yesterday morning the regular packet stern wheel steamer called the Emily P., arrived at Johnson's Bayou and brought to Orange as many as she could carry— about sixty-people. Not one of them had anything but what they stood in, and many of them were minus hats, shoes, coats aud dresses. Their wants were promptly supplied by the pcopleof Orauge, and the refugees were made comfortable for the night. This (Saturday l morning the Kmily P. and the steamer I.ark will return, and from thence make regular trips until all are brought to a place of safety. AU the people, save a few who have large stock interests, say they have abandoned the place forever. They are descendants of a race of people who in the past made Johnson's Bayou a vast orange grove. Frost came and ruined them, and then they turned to cotton and sugar aud stock raising, ouly to meet the fate of their forefathers. Of tho 8,000 head ot stock which once the bayou boasted, 0,006 are drowned, while the remainder will die ot thirst, as all the water is salt J. Spencer, one of the inhabitants of the place, says this is his third storm he has experienced, having been through the storm at Morganthaw iu June last, and at lndian ola in August. He was making a hand some living supplying Northern and West ern markets with bird skins and featheig He loses over in potteries. Mr. Spen cer was formerly editor of the Bloonnng tou (111.) Awllynij^. There is no esti mating the loss, as there is no way of as certaining the valuations, hence sufiice it is to say that th» towns are destroyed and abandoned. _____ MORE BODIES RECOVERED At Sabin« P»** -Fifteen Cory««* Found Appeal* for Help. HorsroK, Tex., October 16.—The fol lowing dispatch was received from Beau mont late last night: 'The train which went to wan! Sabine to-day as far as the track allowed, returned here at 8 p. m. Fifteen bodies were recovered on the high land called Back Bridge, west of Sabine, and were buried. Six bodies of women were recovered on the west shore of th« lake, two colored and four white, one be ing that of Mrs. W. A. Junker, of Carlisle. Mr. Junker is still n.issing. A telegram from merchants of Galveston taihe Keliet Committee here says: ''Gal veston subscribes $1,000. Draw on Ball, Hubchings & Company for that amount.' The Mexican schooner Hercules is h igt and dry at a point called the Oil Ponds. Her captain, Joe. Guibelondo, reporta thai be was bound for New Orleans with 15C mahogany logs, all of which are supposed ! to be lost. The captain and crew wert furnished by the railroad company with passes to New Orleans, and left to-night. A cfreular will be address«! by the Fi nance Committee to the principal business houses in the leading trade centre« of the i country. While subscriptions from local ' and neighboring points have been free and ] liberal, they are sufficient only to supply ! the requirements of a few days. It is de ! sired to urgently impress upon the people ! of Texas and elsewhere the immediate : necessity of responding at once to the de I manda of this calamity. Conservative es timates place the loss at such ligures that it will require from $75,000 to $100,000 to meet the emergencies of the case. > m A Schooner Adrift in a Gale. Rochester, N. Y., October 16.—The severe gale of the last two days, which did so much damage at some of the lake ports, did little injury in Rochester or vicinity. Although a heavy see was running ou the lake at Charlotte yesterday it did little harm. A large -ihrce-masted schooner running for shelter failed to make the har bor at Charlotte and drifted rapidly to the leeward of the piers. She got out an an chor, but it did not hold when the wind shitted to the northwest and the vessel was evidently dragging her anchor. Her name was not learned. A tug offered as sistance, but it was declined. Another schooner, supposed to be to be the Queen of the Lake, anchored to the windward of the piers, being unable to make the harbor. Storm Dtmage in Michigan. Detroit, October 15.—Reports are slowly coming in of damage by the storm. In most cases the damage is to fences, trees, roofs, etc. The gale blew up the river, and the water in Lake St. Clair was raised to an unprecedented height, being five feet seven iuches higher than ever be fore known. Heavy losses are reported all along the shores of the lake, particularly ou the American side between Fair Haven and New Halto. The water extended a mile and a half npon the land and floated awav much valuable timber and numerous small houses. The docks at Fair Haven and Sehoors Mills were damaged to the extent of $5.000. Tug McRae had her upper works smashed in and lost her anchor. The sloop yacht Tnrk, of Detroit, was carried away by the water and finally lodged in an orchard 120 feet from shore. Fields were generally inundated. "WU.D CAT" MKN IN NV. VA. Purchaae Lr»«eit on Ten Thousand Acres For 50c. IVr Acre.

V., October 1<».— The first topic at yesterday's session of the Lake Molionk Conference was the Mission Indians of California. Mrs. Hi les, of Mil waukee, who has taken up the work inter rupted by the death ot Helen Hunt Jack son, «ave a thrilling narrative of the pit iful condition of affairs in Southern Cal ifornia, as witnessed by her. She thought the case almost hopeless, unless a first class anil incorruptible attorney is obtained to conduct the fight to regain possession of the lands from which the Indians have been driven. Senator Dawes thought the passage of the hill in the House, in reference to their case, would right their wrongs without hiring an attorney. Several persons ex presse«! the opinion that it was useless to await Government action. The question of hiring counsel was finally referred to a special committee. The remainder of the session, which closed the conference, was devoted to the discussing of various phases of the <|ues tion of Indian citizenship and civilization, and to reports of the work done by auxil liary societies. Judge Campbell, of Phila delphia, read a telegraphic correspondence between Secretary Lamar and the Princi pal of Lincoln Institute, arranging for the placing of a large number of Apache children there. The conference adopted a statement calling on Congress to p;iss the land in severalty bill, the Sioux reserva tion bill, and the bill for extending law over all Indians, and demanding that the provisions ot the Civil Service be extended to the Indian Department. QUEBEC'S ELECTION'. Four Independents Get "There -The Lead ing Parties Tied. gi'KBCC, Can., Octol»er 15.—The terri ble storm of Thursday so demoralized the telegraph service of the Province that it is only now that particulars of the elec tion are being received. The returns arc now sufficiently known to show that there is a tie between the Liberals and Conserva tives, thirty-nine supporters of each party being returned. The Independent Na tional party carried four members, leav ing it to those members to decide which party is in the majority. The Kiel affair was used by the Liberals and Nationals to influence the French rural districts, and was successful in carrying fourteen coun ties which previously returned supporters of the local Government. In eachof the three divisions in this city a labor candidate was proposed by the Knights of I^bor and other organizations, but none was elected. The Conservatives are treating with the four Nationalists, who were formerly staunch Conservatives, and if they coalesce a majority will be se cured and the present Cabinet, with some slight modification, will continue in power. The Government unesieu. Moîcteeai., Ont., October 16.—It is now conceeded that the Quebec elections have resulted in the defeat of the Govern ment. Carrying Ont The Proclamation. WASHINGTON, D.

Paris," October 16.—The Temp* refutes the statements that France is seeking war. It says that the army represents the De mocracy, which errs rather toward peace than toward war. It regret«« that the I lations existing between Kngland and i France are not of the best, and counsels ' the press of both conn trie« to endeavor to ; fraternize instead of embarrassing their re lations, both being condemned to Isolation from Europe unless they go band to hand. The Journal de» Débat4 lectures the Lon don press on seeking pretexts to embitter ' relations between France and Germany. ! and ridicules the assertions that France is i desirous of provoking war with Germany. The principal German papers also deride the views of the English preai, denying that there is any fear of war, and charg ing England with wishing to profit by sounding a revanche alarm.

London, October 16.—lu order to gain some information .in reference to the Ger man repeating rifle which is the subject of so rnncb comment in army circles at pres ent, your correspondent paid a visit to Col. Arbuthnot. the chief of the Government's small arms factory at Entield, Middlesex, to-day. The Colonel said he believed that the rule of self-preservation would J eventually compel all the great nations to j adopt a magazine ritle for their armies. He had recently made a tour of Germany, I enquiring into the merits of the German ' gun. and Iiis observations led him to this . beliei. The German* are sauguine that j their new weapon will prove to l>e the most startling and effective manual im j plement of modern warfare, and will form ' the basis for future experimenting in the j science of close range gunnery. Col. Ar ! buthnot said he doubted the statement j that the German Government had already ! completed 100,000 of the rifles. He thought that was an exaggeration, but he ! knew that they were now making from 2, II »00 to :t,000 per week. j The new rifle, the Colonel said was nec I essarilv heavy and would prove a severe strain on a soldier. In lighting in close quarters it would probably equal the Mar tini-Heflry rifle in effectiveness. He did not think the repeater would induce men ! to lire recklessly during au engagement, 1 but, on the contrary, it was much more I likely to inspire confidence. Men disliked j rapid tiring anyhow, as the excessive use I of the muscles brought into play produced I lameness in the shoulder. The new re-1 pcating rifle would not allow accurate aim I ! beyond a distance of ">00 yards. "The great poiut we are striving at here ! ) in Enfield," said Colonel Arbuthnot in j I conclusion,' and the one which has en I g.iged most of our time, is to modify the I trajectory so tliat it will enable aiming j : without, or almost without, sights. I be- j I lieve our new weapon will be the liest | .single-shooting rifle producabie, but it has not yet reached beyond the experimenting j stage. Our committee of experts sits daily, and improvements are constantly lieing made.'' Worse Than the I.onilou 1'lanue. CuREA, October lli.—Cholera is still raging fiercely in C'orea. No idea can be formed of the extent of the scourge. It has more than decimatcd the capital, where, out of a population of 200,000, the death rate rules at the frightful average of a thousand per day. Nearly a million people have been swept away already, and it is hard to say where the plague will stop. Cerea is described as '"an appalling pest spot." Never was there a more frightful record of the ravages of disease on mankind. The story of the plague of London is beggared by what is now going on in Seoul. They are beginning to give over the task of burying the dead, and the city is threat ened with positive extinction. fiipsiw ' Remarks a Stockman—Packingtown I Dead'. Chicago, October lti.—"It is war now : lor sure." said a stockman, as he stood on tbe Transit House stops at fi o'clock this this morning, after breakfast. At this hour, luuallyso marked by the crowds of meu on their way to work, there was little sign of life on the streets. Where a week ago thousands of men trowed through the big gate leading to the yards, scarcely a dosen at a time could be seen. Over in the exchange building, usually teeming with cattle buyers and seilen», at this early hour, eager and noisy as so may lloard of Trade speculators, tbe great hall was al most deserted. A passenger train came in on the Michigan Southern tracks, but instead of pulling up on the usual side track at the depot, the engine kept on on around '"the horn," and took the three coaches up Forty-seventh street and stop at the alley which leads down to Armour it Co.'s houses. Nearly JOU men alighted and wal er } barrel. A I'oHHlble Coal .Strike. Mt. C.VRMKI, l'A., Octol>er 10. —Miners representing the l'enna. Hickory Kidge, Hickory Swamp, Enterprise, Fxcelsior, Luke. Fidlcr and Cameron collieries oper ated My the I'nion Coal and Mineral Min ing Company met at Fxcelsior to-day to to take action to secure the restoration of the ten per cent reduction made at those miues in January of last year. On the question of ordering a general strike in case the operators refused advance, there was almost a unanimous l>ollot in favor of it. A committee ol "seven one from each ; colliery was appointed to notify the mine ! official* of the action. In case a strike; should he ordered three thousand hands will be effected by it. KicIIMOXI), Va., October 16.—Fire was j discovered shortly before 10 o'clock last night on the main floor of Armory Hall, where the Geueral Assembly, Knights of I Labor, sits. It had already made its way between the beams below the flooring, and the firemen had difficulty in getting at it. The damage will be al>ont When the General Assembly adjourned last even ing, it was not expected that final adjourn ment could be taken until next week, and arrangements had been made to continue in possession of the Armory until Thurs day next. The occurrence of the fire will probably interfere with this, as it will be necessary to have the damage it caused re paired Ix-fore Friday, when the State Fair ! will take possession, and the Oeneral As sembly can not sit while repairs are in pro-1 gress. It has been determined that the many propositions made and not acted upon in | the revision of the constitution shall be ; referred hack to the local assemblies for | ratification. There will be |i NO KAPIt'Al. CHAXOfiS made in the by-laws or constitution here. The salaries of officers; the lwycott: the! place for locating the general officers, aud some other matters will l»e acted ujK»n be- J fore adjournment. Since the excitement incident to the election of officers has worn away, and many of the most positive char- 1 acters in debate have left the city, - U tter feeling prevails—in fact, almost perfect harmony—aud work will progress rapidly. The way matters stand now the conven tion may run in the middle of next week, and may finally adjourn upon a few mo ments' notice at any moment. The va rious pla us for basing representation in general conventions are to come up next. There is jierfect unanimity in the demand i for a much smaller representation in the < next convention. This convention has a < delegate for every 1,000 or fraction of a < 1,000. The most popular suggestion is the one giving delegates to ever}' 2,.VW mem- I bers. I DKWEI !* w nr..Mr, r.i.< nr.w. . Delegate I>ewey's scheme to establish a | grand central labor organ was laid on the ! table this morning. The mont serious oh- . iertion to it was that it would create a monopoly, since it« support would be com- i pnlsorr. and there are already in existence i a numlier of labor newspapers which de- < pend upon their merits for support. i The section of the report of the Commit tee on Laws, relating U» the duties of the ' General Officers was adopted. Mr. Powderly was ill this forenoon and did not attend the convention. Grand Worthy Foreman Griffiths presided. Grand Secretary Litchman says the convention will likely adjonrn sine die on Tuenday evening. General Treasurer Turner left here thin morning for Philadelphia, where more than i $•20.000 worth of money orders arc await ing his signature. He will return on Mon- ; day. At this afternoon's session considera tion of the report on BEVISION' OF THE COSHTITtTIOS as it came from the hands of the Commit tee on Law, was continued. Section 1, relating to name, jurisdiction j and membership, passed without action. ! Sec. 2, treating of meetings of the general assembly and representation was amended so as to change the basis of representation from one delegate for each thousand mem- ' l*rs to one for every 3,000 and to make an allowance for mileage, payable by the j ' general assembly. It was then adopted, j Section 3, treating of General Assembly was adopted after two clauses had been amended so as to read: "Any generali officer, whether a representative o» not is eligible to a re-election," and "Any rep resentative to this General Assembly or past general officer is eligible to re-election for any office in the General Assemby ex cept that of General Master Workman." In the clause of Section 4, relating to dnties of officers, an amendment made by which in case of death, resignation or re moval of the General Master Workman, the General Worthy Foreman shall suc ceed to and perform all dptiea and become General Master .Workman until the next meeting of Aie General Assembly, when there shall be an election to fill the position. In 8ec. 9, relating to State As semblies, amendments were adopted by which the formation of State Assemblies is made optional instead of compulsory. Further amendments were adopted by which the jurisdiction of existing District Assemblies remains unchanged unless they themselves consent to change. The General Assembly also resolved not to interfere with national trade districts, and an amendment in the sections relating to them was adopted, providing thai no local assembly shall b« compelled to join a district assembly, thus permitting trade local assemblies to retain their independence. Another amendment which was adopt ed, provided for an interchange of working cards, with trade unions agreeing to re ciprocate by receiving Knights of Labor cards. The General Assembly adjourned until Monday, when such portions of the revision of the Constitution as it is deter mined to act on at the present session will be disposer of. Business was transacted with such despatch in the afternoon that some delegates entertain hopes of an adjourn ment Monday evening. A number of del egates left here for their homes to-day but the great majority of them will carry out their determination to remain until the work of^he convention is concluded. PRESIDENTIAL. HUNTS IX W. VA. The President Knjo)« t Thoroughly UomI Tluie it Koinney, IV. Va.. Friday. Washington*, D. C., October, 16.—The Presidential hunting and fishing party re turned to Washington from Komney, W. Va, at an early hour this morning. Thej had a thoroughly enjoyable trip, and tak ing into consideration the unfavorable state of the weather, were fortunate in the catch of fish. The head, antlers and skin of a tine ''white deer," (said to be a rare species, ; killed by oue of the party, were brought in by Commissioner Miller and lay on a window sill iu his office to-day. The animal was driven into the water by the dogs and made a gallant struggle for his life, wounding severely two of the hounds but was dually killed at rather long range by a rifle shot of Mr. Rivina Harring a brief entanglement of a promin ent member of the party in a barbed wire fence, resulting in almost irreparable damage to his clothing, no mishaps at tended the chase.
