NEW HAVEN, June il.—The Epis-
copal diocesan convention upon ro-
suming its session at St. Thomas"
Church today, received notice of a
proposed change in constitution which
would change the time of the conven-
tion to May instead of June. The
amendment will come up for consider-
ation next year. in view of this
notice the report of the committee on
constitution and canons, read by 'Rev.
Dr. Hart, which would require that
financial and statistical items in par
ochial reports should be completed so
far at possible by April 30 instead of
May 31, was laid upon the table. Dr.
Hart said that the proposed change
would make the parish year end about
five weeks before the diocesan con-
vention. Pending a change in the
date of the convention it was felt best
not to act upon the matter. The same
committee asked to be discharged,
and this was done, on a resolution of

: ST. LOI'IS, .\io.. June li.-~At n
Ibanquet tendered the Connecticut del-
Iegatlon last night at the Hotel Jef-
l terson by Hunter 'S. Cummings. nation-
al committeeman from Connecticut.
there were present all the delegates
and alternates and guests. and as
guests of honor. Josephus Daniels,
secretary of the navy, and Charles R.
Crane of Chicago.
Secretary Daniels in addressing the
delegates and guests expressed his
pleasure at being present. and in an
interesting way recalled the raci that
the real father of the American navy
was a Connecticut democrat, Gideon
Welles, who temporarily became a
republican on the issue of slave y and
served with great distinction in tire
cabinet of President Lincoln.
it was another democratic secretary
of the navy. Bancroft, who was re.
sponsiblc for establishing the naval
academy at Annapolis, and it is con-
ceded by naval authorities that if it
were not for the ships built under the
Cleveland administration the United
States could never have successfully
prosecuted the war with Spain upon
the seas.
He compared the record of the
present administration in the matter
of upbuildlng the. navy in men and
in ships. and said that the record when
completed would show vastly in favor
of the democrats and infview also
of what is being provided in the navy
bill now before congress the people
of the country will be convinced that
if the navy is to be put upon the
highest plane of efficiency the demo
cratlc party is the only one to do [no
work.
He complimented the democrats of
Connecticut upon the steadfastnes‘s to
the faith. it is an easy thing to be
a democrat in North-Carolina. where
practically all are‘ democrats and
where democrats nearly ntv'vays win.
it is a much more difficult task to
be a democrat in Connecticut. where
victories are only won after hand to
build political battles. When the
time comes and all Connecticut demo
crate are called to their reward above
revelations can be truly applied to
them. "For here are they who have
come up through tribulations.“
Other speakers were Charles 9..
Crane. Homer S. Cummings and for-
mer Congressmen Reilly and Ken-
nedy.
