Jordan Withdraws After Tliat Ilody Reclined to Spread on the Minutes a Memorial, Churning Citadel Ofllcers with Dlscrim inn ting Against Episcopalians. The Council of the Episcopal I)ioces sat down on Rev. C. H. Jordan last Thursday at Spartanburg, claiming that he had not been shown the proper consideration of respect b? the Council, because the Council refused to adopt a resolution of fered by him and refused to t pprove a memorial that he he presented, the Rev. C. H. Jordan, rector of the Nativity Church at Union, asked to be excused from further attendance upon the sessions of the Council. The following account of the matter we take from The News and Courier: The trouble was precipitated when Mr. Jordan presented a memorial from the Greenville convention, the subject of which was religious conditions et the Citadel. The memorial was that there was religious discrimination at the institution against cadets of Episcopal parents; that they were not allowed to attend services at the Episcopal churches as freely as they might; that they are required to march in squads to other rhurchs, while the cadets of Roman Cathtilic faith are permitted to atted to attend the church of their faith. The discussion that followed the reading of the memorial was lively, objections being made to the adoption or consideration of the memorial. Judge Haskell said that U the Council Interfered it would be mixing religion with politics and advised the Council to ste? r clear of the matter; that the Citadel was a State Institution ami not under the control of the dioceses. The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Darlington, said that he was a graduate of the Citadel and ho knew of his own knowledge that the Episcopal students are not being discriminated against. He said that there are five Eoisconat chlindlea in fVl -1 rlnutnn nn.l that the cadets attend these churches more frequently than the other churches. During the discussion it was brought out that the students who are Roman Catholic were not required to attend the Protestant churches and Mr. Jordan made the point that no exception should be made. Finally, it was decided to receive the memorial as information and not spread it on the minutes of the Council. Mr. Jordan presented then n resolution providing for the appointment of a committee to make an investigation of the alleged religious discrimination at tthe Citadel and report the result of its findings at the next meeting of the Dioceses Council. The resolution provided for the Bishop to serve on the committee, Bishop fiuerry promptly stated that lie would not serve. A ntrt tlon wns made and carried, almost unanimously, that the resolution l> laid on the table. Mr. Jordan then "nddtlessed the Councial stating that lie had been shut off from debate by the Council, that he had not been treated with proper respect and courtesy and ask ed to he excused. The Incident was regretted bv members of the Council. The proposal was almost unanimously regarded as ill-advised and as likely to place the church in an undesirable light, and to provoke an unpleasant religious controversy. The handling of the subject from a I parliamentary standpoint was porL haps a little irregular and this gave & Mr. Jordan ground for thinking that i|L he had i n treated in an unfair manner, although Bishop Gtierry assnred him that such had not been his intention.

Jordan, of Union, a member or the Diocesan Council of the Episcopal church, to bring about an investigation of religious conditions at thy Citadel, alleging that the cadets of the Episcopal faith were discriminated against and prevented from attending Episcopal churches, were read with astonishment in Charleston, where curiosity was generally expressed as to how an impression so erroneous as that indicated could have been formed by any one. Col. O. J. Bond, the superintendent of the South Carolina Militay Academy. | had leard nothing of the matter when a representative of The News and Courier visited him at the Citadel a few evenings ago, and he read the dispatch with thy greatest surprise. "1 can't understand the matter at all," lie said with a smile. "We are using today the same system as to church attendance that we hn\e used for the last twenty years, and this is the first complaint I have ever heard in regard to the matter." Col. ltond did not think that the situation was such as to render nee ssary any statement by him, but he did not object to explaining the system of church attendance as followed at the Citadel. 'I he cadets ev? rv Sunday morning are s nt out ItV comiljlllles tie unl.l ^ ni.iii.m.,.. ii church. There are eleven church- i es on ihe list, which are attended in rotation. Five of these are episcopal churches St. Michael's, St. Philips, St. Paul's, St. Luke's and i Grace Church: three are Presbyterian, the First Presbyterian, Second Presbyterian and Westminster Presbyterian churches; two are Methodist Bethel and Trinity; one Baptist huroh is included, the Citadel | Square Baptist church.

The students ' if the Jewish faith, are not required to attend services at Christian churches against their will.

Bond also added that relig- j ions services are held in the chapel j at the Citadel each morning, that , lhere is a Bible class every Sunday morning and that the* Citadel Y. M. C. A. holds services every Wedaes- j day > veiling and every Sunday even ing. "There Is absolutely no discrimination at the Citadel against students of the Episcopal faith or of any other faith," continued Col. Bond "It is not one of the entrance qualifications that a student he an Episcopalian, but as a malt r of fac;t It happens that more students are members of the Episcopal church than of any other, more Episcopal churches are attended ihan the churches of any olh r one faith because of this fact and luvvn use the Episcopal churches are most numerous of the Protestant churches in Charleston and at least, four members of the , faculty are Episcopalians, while a , fifth attends the Episcopal church i regularly."

One thousand pounds of dynamite ?xploded and the bodies of the victims were hurled hundreds of feet by the concussion and so badly muti lated as to be almost beyond recognition. As darkness came a wagon drew up to the engine house load ed with bodi s that had been picked up back on the quarry hill. A crowd of grief stricken relatives gathered around eager to identify the dead, only to turn away tne sickening sight. Italians with shovels found here and there portions of bodies, and brought their gruesome loads in boxes to the engine house, which served as a temporary morgue. The workmen had placed heavy i-harg's in six holes and were working on the seventh, when a percussion was prematurely discharged. A terrific explosion followed, which hurled tons of rock into the air and scattered the bodies of the victims in all directions. The officers were standing nearby at the time lirectlng the work.

Dispatches from Marash, Asiatic Turkey, say that most distressing account continue to he received there from the countryside of the Armenian villages assailed by hands of Mohamedans, who, acting on the supposition that tlie Armenians were rising against government, were quick to strike the first blow. Men were killed whenever found within reach of knife or bullet. (Jirls were often maltreated, and some of them were carried off to become the wives or slaves of rich men. Houses were ransacked and th n burned. Farm animals were driven off and small parties of horsemen rode through the country "cleaning up the Armenians." The whole country is ruined by the destruction of the farms and the homes of the people, thousands of whom were killed by the blood-thirsty Turks. Everything portable has been stolen and carried off by the thieving and murderous Turks. Families are completely broken up, and it is estimated that at least one hundred thousand people have been murdered or carried off into captivity, which is worse than deal h. No one was spared.

LUMBER LOBBY HAI> BICJ BUM OF MONEY TO SPEND TO CAKKY Til FIB Scheme of Protecting I.umltcr in the Tariff Hill Through Congress in Washington. Zach McGee, tho wide awake Washington correspondent of the Columbia State, says it develops now that the lumber lobby which has been operating with considerable energy during the present tariff-making session of congress, has been srtpported most lavishly by the lumber manufacturers. An assessment was made on each sawmill in the various associations of $1 for each $1,000 feet of dally cut. The lumber manufacturers of tile State of Oregon and Washington belonging to one particular association were assessed $28,000, but so far they have paid only $12,000, and they are being vigorously pressed to pay the rest. Some of the advocates of tree lumber here are declaring that the fail urv iu pay in?? assessment is evidence that the real pressure for protection on lumber is not so much from the sawmill people as from the timh-'r'syndicates, who own most of the stunipuge. There is plenty of money, however, for the lobby. It Is estimated 1 that $ 100,000 was raised to main- 1 tain the special lobby here to try to keep the present rates of $2 a thou- ( sand on rough lumber and the cor- , responding high rates on other grades. ' This does not include the expens- ' es of special delegations sent here by lumber organizations in various , States and the expenses of individual lumbermen who have come here ( for the purpose of intluenclng congressmen from their own State. A number of lobbyists have been in and about the capital ever since last ( Tall Some weeks ago. while the bill was befor the house, the lobbyists ( gave ? series of expensive dinners ( at tlie Wlliard hotel, to which they ( invited members of cone-ess and others whom they thought would be ( influential.
