(y TT Question Before the Episcopal Convention BROTHER IN BLACK What to Do With Him a Matter on Which Opinion Differs Widely Reduction of tlio Ratio of Representation Has Earnest Supporters. (By the Associated Press.) Richmond, Oct. 7. Five matters of Interest were discussed during the fourth day's sesalon of the General Convention of the Episcopal church today. Four of these took; place In the House of Deputies and one In the He use of Bishops.

Besides the discussions a matter of special I Importance was in the air, that the general convention of the church in 1910 would be held in New York city. In the House of Deputies tha matter of Hrst Importance was the discussion relative to the reduction In the number of representative from each diocese of the church. At the present time there are sixty-one dioceses which send four lay and four clerical delegates, making a total of 4SS and to this number mult be added about 100 from missionary dUtrlcta, which brings the total up to 600. An earnest effort has been made by th delerataa from New Hampshire and Massachusetts to reduce this to three clerical and three lay delegates from each diocese In order that the body shall be placed oft a better working basis. New York made an effort to have the aeputies appointed according to the number of clergy and laity In the diocese, but this was defeated In the committee.

The western dioceses are all opposed to the reduction of representation, and after warm speeches were maae, tne resolution was defeated. Changr of Name Considered The second matter of interest oc- urrea wnen a resolution was made by Dr. Huntington, of New York, to change the name of 'the church to read "American Chudch." Mr. Old. of ooumern Virginia, led the fight P'eaain tot a delay which Dr.

Huntington granted with the understanding that the matter should be brought up for consideration tomor- The third, matter of Interest was the passage of a Joint resolution which recognized the Diocese of Du-luth. and the fourth resolutlol which grants permission to the Diocese of Georgia to fo'-m a new Diocese, which It i said will be called the Diocese of Atlanta. Debate Negro Question. In the House of Bishops the day was, spent for the most part In the which robahly the most Important matter which Is attracting thJaAM tlpn of this Convention. Whether or not negroes are to have their own bishops and practically a church, or whether they shall be retained as part of the rh nrh an A un der the control of white bishops Is the question now consuming the time of the blshoDS and wMrh unit i fought out on the floor of the House of Deputies.

The strange part of the whole matter Is that the blshoDS of iuuesw inrouznoui tne Month arm anxious that the negroes shall have their own church and their nn bishops, while the Western bishops for the most part favor the present plan of white bishops over the negroes. It is said that P'shop Ferguson, of Cans Pulmm ih. only negro bishop and the Onlv nrrn delegate attending the convention. Is nui in lavor ot a separate church and negro bishops. It Is openly said that the Rlshops of the South would ha glad to be relieved of the burden of me negro in tneir dioceses, and for this reason they desire a separate church.

However, the Northern and Western Bishops contend for the most part that their responsibility ends w-hen they furnish the money for work ar.mong the negroes, and that they should not be burdened with a class, of people who are not In their dioceses.

The special election held here today for a brmd issue of $50,000 for street improvements was carried by an overwhelming majority.

The majority was 3 3S votes. The campaign was very quiet, many citizens not realizing the importance of this nrst step to wards a substantial municipal improvement.
