And the favorite singers as they came upon the stage were ciapped and bravoed, while they bowed and smiled acknowl- edgments till they got cricks in the neck. Collamarini, always popular, then the great Salassa, then Russo, Barbareschi, Repetto, Dado, Ferrari, Nicolini, Monta- nari, Agostin!, Polletini and Castellano were encored again and again.

Dr. Fulton interrupted to say that the speaker was absolutely misrepresenting what he said on the floor, and the Rev. Dr. Mann interrupted demanding to what point the gentleman was speaking, and | saying that there was nothing in this | section of the canon about remarriage. The speaker resumed: I clalm that the advocates of this measure must_bring forth grounds clearer than those yet offered. 1 will make this contention, that the Christian church must found her legisla- | tion etther on revelation or on right reason | and conscience. I say to the laymen here, | **Don’t you take your interpretation of revela- | tion from lawyers, but listen to us clergy,” end I say to the clergy here, “Don't you take your i retation of natural law from us lergy, but listen to the distinguished judge who | sits upon questions of ethics.”” I would like to k some high churchman or broad churchman, who claims he is the supreme representative of Atanasian theology, to explain how It is that they ound on the side of and standing by the words of they who are trying to represent the highest conception of his personality and wish to retire him in the background upon expediency—the tyrant’s plea. I ask them that | question VIEWS OF LONG ISLAND DEPUTY Deputy Minders of Long Island opposed prohibition of remarriage of divorced per- sons, saying: This canon is an absolute prohibition of the remarriage of a divorced person by this church and under the doctrine and discipline of this church. If passed, it will disfranchise every | such remarried person, whether such party { was involved in the orizinal divorce or not. { 7t will disfranchise them from the rights of | | | | | baptism, confirmation and holy communion. (Cries of No, No). It will under the canons as ther stand. Nome of those services can | be administered by a presbyter of this church if the fact exists that the purty who is apply- ing for those services is a party to a remar- riage, or a divorced person. An appeal will lie to the godly judgment of the Bishop, but that judgment must be rendered upon the facts, and the only fact for considcration will be | whether or not there has been a divorce for any cause whatsoever. There are other meas- ures prt forward here before us for the dis- cipline of the laity, so called; measures that have been put forward in contemplation of the situation which will exist under the pres- ent canon. One comes to us from the House of Bishops in which power is given in a meas- ure to the Bishop to grant dispensation: an- | other s that of discipline of the laity. These | measures will never be adopted by this con- vention in the short time that remains to us, | and we shall adjourn, leaving the new canon to stand with the present canon of discipline. | 1 am heartily in accord with the spirit of Dr. | Huntington's amendment. There are greater | reasons for supporting his amendment than | those which T have adduced. There is the ragular standing policy of the church, which | Pas stood “for years. and under which the | church has zained converts and adherents, A | { | church, of all bodles in the world, should be conservative, and a change of prineivle, pro- cedure or doctrine should not be undertaken unless the necessity »lainly exists. Does it exist here? Have we heard any reason? No; no reason that is a reason. If we adopt this | these peonle will be married eclsewhere. We | are in advance of any other sect, denomina- | tion or religious body. We are in advance of the civilization of the world. A canon in the terms proposed is not the way to address the world on this great subject of divorce. EXPLAINS CHANGE OF MIND. Deputy Henry of Iowa favored the Hunul:agtcn amendment in the: following speech: - 1 speak because I belong to two classes Bave been mentioned here. In the frat p:%f | I belong to the class of those men who have changed their minds upon this subjéct since they came to this convention and since they bave listened so far to this debate. I came here in favor of some such principle as is ex- pressed in this message from the House of Bishops. I have been changed by the consid- erations that have been given to the subject by myself, and I am here to defend the amendment’ propozed to that last clause. Then again I belong to the class that has been mentioned as baving teen generally in favor of the messaze of the House of Bishops un- amended, namely, the class of lawyers. I think it is a mistake to say that the lawyers of this house are in favor of this article as it comes from the House of Blshops. 1 want to con- sider some objections that have been urged to the amendment. 1 want to refer to.the objec- tion based on the prayer book. It is almost wrong to scek to influence our actions by an appeal to a source as high as that, if the ap- peal be not well founded. And I say it ap- proaches a wrfong to seek to influence our ac- tion by the suggestion that the church in this formuiary has ®ought to bind peopie to holy matrimony until death do them part, regard- less of any or &ll circumstances. The gentle- men who are opposed to this amendment say they do not expect thc woman to love the adulterous husband until death do them part? Do they stand here saying that they want the woman to obey the adulterous husband until death do them part? There Is an element of mu- tuality in this contract and this obligation which is taken under the sanction of the holy church. The man says, though he does not say it in words, ““In consideration of the promise of the woman to me I do thus promise’” and the woman says, “In _consideration of what the man hath said 1 do thus promise.” In legal principle, 1s that not the meaning of 1t? They take each other_in consideration of thelr mu- tual promises. Brethren of the law, don’t put the church as opposed to the principle of this amendment. DEPUTY LEWIS CLOSES DEBATE. Deputy Lewis of Pennsylvania, in clos- ing the debate, said in part: Those who expect a display of oratorical py- rotechnice from me will be disappointed. I feel that I have a totally different duty to perform to this house. It'is my duty to help the house so far as lles in my power to reach a right conclusion upon an exceedingly impor- tant subject. 1 may not succeed, but I shall try. 1 am more anxious to get a right con- clusion than I am to come to any. particular conclusion. I deprecate two things which have in a meas- ure crept into this debate. I deprecate any suggestion that the persons who have taken the side that I represent in this discussion are arrogating to themselves in any way any par- tieular desire to pose as the defenders of the family life of the United States. Such is not the case, Every man on the floor of this con- vention is equaily interested in preserving the family life of the United States, and it is a mere question of methods as to how we can best do it. I deprecate, on the other hand, the suggestions that have been thrown out from time to time that any particular set of men is trying to set at naught he teachings of our Lord. That may be the effect of things in the minds of some of the gentlemen, but it cer- tainly is not the intention of any ome wWho appears on either side of this debate. Again, T have been asked to state a precedent for any action which wopld countenance legis- lation based on expedienéy in any church body, bgcause it hae been sald that this i3 & meas- ure of expediency. I recall having réad in the Holy Scriptures that our Lord stated a law of marriage as having been given in the be- ginning, and he said to Moses “‘From the hard- ness of their hearts, suffer them to put away their wives.”” I venture to think that ‘the hardness of their hearts” in the English language probably means as a measure of ex- pediency at that time. And if our Lord did not condemn Moses for that—and he most as- suredly did not—it seems to me this church to-day is justified In debating a measure of expediency upen this same subject. Before 1 plunge into what I consider the im- portant points of this debate I want to get rid of @ few things which in my humble judg- | ment have nothing on earth to do with it. In the first place, we are told that we are adopt- ing the Roman system. If by that it meané to say -that the Roman Catholic church does not solemnize the marriage of divorced per- sons, that it is true; it is also true that this canon does mot propose to allow the ministers of our church to solemnize it. But {if it is meant to say that we are, by passing this canon, adopting all that the Roman Catholic church teaches on the subject of the indis- solubllity of marriage, God forbid. In refer- ence to that clause at the end, ‘‘Unless the former were annulled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction for cause existing be- fore such marriage”’—that is one thing that the Roman church does and I think is the very weak point of its system. It does not grant diverces, but it annuls marriages for causes existing before marriage. And upon the part of some of our right reverend fathers in God, the Bishops, there has been in the last cight or ten years a little evidence that they were trying to do the same thing, and when- ever they have tried to do it they have reached this result, and as the result the committee which had’charge of this_subject took care to see that nothing of that Roman theary should cver get into the canons of this church. (Crles glrm;'xood.“) That Is the explanation of that se. I agree that the innocent party in a divorce for the cause of adultery has a right to re- marry, and 1 beg to. say to this house that at least three-fourths of your own committee would have been, any time in the last three years, and are willing to-day to endeavor to secure that right to the Innocent party, pro- vided anybody can show us any possible way of doing it in which we will not do much fur- ther harm than good. Somebody said some- thing about the old canon. I am willing to talk about the old canon as much as anybody wants, but if the old canon does not give a roving commission to anybody to do precisely what he pleases I am very much mistaken. I recall having a case brought to me a_while ago under the old canon for divorce and I sald: T wiil advise you any way you please, because I wil] undertake to acquit you in the ecclesias- tical court on any earthly thing you may do under the old canon.” (Laughter.) We would be very willing to bring In a canon here to allow the innccent party to be remarried by the clergy of the church if we knew how to draw that canon. The people who ask it don’t know how to draw that canon, and I dom't think they will ever find out, and that is ex- actly the difficulty and the necessity of the constitution. CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. We are told that the number of divorces for adultery in this country is very small. That is the strongest argument possible in our favor. A gentleman, a delegate on this floor, told me that he had rendered more divorces in the last thirty days than any other Judge that ever sat on the bench in the United States. I asked him how many were based on the cherge of aduitery. He safd 4 per cent. ~Are there no innocent parties in this country? God for- bid. T know them and you know them. But I beg you to notice that they do not bring ac- tlon for divorce for the cause of adultery. And it is to the credit of the women of Amer- ica that they do not. In forty-three out of the forty-five States of this Unfon a man or woman has a choice of perhaps a haif a dozen causes for divorce; a Wwoman has a moral right to select any one of those causes. There is many a woman in this country whom you pity and I pity and God pities, who has been treated by her hus- band in the most outrageous manner by the breach of the marriage vow, with little chil- dren dependent upon them, and it is necessary for various reasons, property reasons and oth- er perfectly good reasons, that that unfortunate woman should go and get a divorce from her husband; she sits down in her room, overcome with grief and horror, and she says to her- self, “I had rather dle than put upon the pubiie records the charge of adultery against my husband and bring that stigma upon my own name and that of those little children whom I have borne to him. She does not do it, and she ought to be admired for it, Those are the Innocemt partles, and you propose to give them this canon and say to them that they must do that very thing or they cannot be remarried in the Protestant Kpiscopal | Church, That is nonsense. Who are the 4 | per cent? 1 venture to suggest that as a rule they are not composed of the people that this church wants to aid in the least; in other words, as 1 heard it once sald, applications for divorce for that cause are very apt to be | applications for divorce in order to get some- body else. Then there are a great many cases which come up where there has been what I call con- tributory negligence. If a man walks on the rallroad track and gets run over by a railroad train it s a very unfortvnate thing, but he can't get a verdict for damages because he has been gullty of contributory negligence. There is something like coptributory negligence in cases of divorce in this country, as where a woman allows her husband to do pretty much as he pleases, or a man allows his wife to do pretty much as she pleases and to be surround- ed with this man and that man, and she falis into trouble. 1y becaute he has not been guilty of the act of adultery, but he is guilty of contributory negligence; It gets to be a question of his going his way and she going her way, and a Toof is_the only thing that covers them. A friend df mine met another friend in the street a short time ago and said to him: “‘Well, I suppose you and your good wife are still living happily together?’ and his reply was, Hap- pily, but not together.” (Laughter) When you'eliminate all those people who do not re- sort to divorce for the cause of adultery be- cause they have other causes, and when you eliminate from the 4 per cent that you have in the general proportion of causes the num- ber who do not care much but get a divorce from one party in order that they may mar- ry another, and when you add to those the contributory negligence people there is a very small residuum left of that 4 per cent, and it is not worth the while of the Protestant Episcopal church to legislate for them. The objection to using the record as evi- dence has been called an_attack upon the courts of the country. I make no such at- tack; it would be impossible for me or any member of the bar to make it. I am perfect- 1y willing to admit that the courts do the best they can. The difficulty about this record bus- incss is that the church is endeavoring to use the record of a court for a purpose for which the record is never intended., The ob- Ject of the record in a divorce for The cause of adultery is to prove the adultery. and it is conclusive on that point. \But in this matter you are proposing to use the record which has established the guilt of A in order to prove the innocence of B, and the two things are not similar, and one does not necessarily prove the other. You are using a record established for one purpose in order to prove another fact. \The difficulty with this amendment is thot in the first place it seems to apply only to the State of New York, and T am opposed to spe- clal legislation. I do not think that in any other State you could get those things into the decree of a courtt Secondly, because, if you are trying to helo out the innocent party vou are not helping him by that amendment. It is a kind of a gold brick amendment: it does not do what it is Intended to do. You might just as well pass a resolution of sym- pathy with all the innocent parties throuch- out the country excent in the State of New York. If you pass that amendment, vou won't be able to marry anybody at all. Therefore, excent for the remson that I don't want to legislate for the State of New York alone, and that T don’t want to put the church in a false position before the country with reference to an amendment which can’t be carried out. T for one, would be perfectly willing to vote for it, because it is absolutely innocuous except in one State, Previous to the debate on the divorce canon Chairman Lindsay announced the following aprointments of deputies to serve on the joint committee to nominate a board of managers for the Board of Missions: The Rev.

Accidents Aboard the Kear- sarge, Kentucky and Ala- | bama Cause Inquiry. Soecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Rear Ad- miral Charles O’'Neil, chief of naval ord- nance, has taken measures to prevent further explosions of steel armor piercing shells in the 13-inch guns of battleships. One gun, that of the Kearsarge, was so seriously damaged by the explosion of a shell that it was necessary to remove It |and substitute another gun. The Ken- | tucky reported that a she! exploded in one of her 13-inch guns, but fortunately the damage was slight. Rear Admiral O’'Neil has recelved a re- port from Captain Willard Bronson, com- manding the Alabama, regarding an acci- dent to her 13-inch gun, and he has stated that the gun, while slightly gouged, will still be serviceable. Immiediately after the accident on the Kearsarge was reported to the Navy De- partment Rear Admiral O'Nefl began an investigation. This determined that the | shell was manufactured by the Midvale Steel Company A letter was addressed | to the company, calling attention to the premature explosion, but the company was unable to furnish any explanation, pointing out that the lot from which the shell had been selected was accepted aft- | er_the usual tests In order to prevent further accidents Rear Admiral O'Neil has directed that ail semi-armor piercing shells under manu- | facture shall be made with thicker walls | and with a gas check. Rather than hav | another premature explosion he will prob- ably request the department to order that these piercing shells be used without pow- der charges in target practic Admiral Remey Leaves for Korea.

The Bishops are not prepared at once to grant the request to give the Episcopal order to the three Bishops-elect and feel that cer- tain conditions must be complied with before any Bishop can be consecrated for Mexico. First—There must be definite assurances of the edoption of the form for the ordination and consecration of Bishops and for the ordina of deacons and priests, confirmed in all t essential features of the ordinal of this church, and that the ordinal of this church shall be 'd until the form of ordination is adopted by Mexican church. Second—There must be such evidences as this church always requires before the consecration of a Bishop in the United States of the qual fication in character and learning of the g sons proposed to be consecrated. Third—There must be on ths part of those to be consecrated, and those who ask their consecration, an acceptance of a 4 the covenant, which is in the m: promise of conformity required of every per- son before ordination and consecration in thi | church. Fourth—There must be some arrangement of jurisdiction by which the Bishop, when cos secrated, shall have definite charge of separate dioceses or missionary districts in the Mexican | chureh: th Fifth—That a covenant be entered into be- tween the Bishops of this church and the church of Mexico in the same or similar terms | and_essentially in form as that made before the Bishop was conscerated for Brazil. that the person consecrated shaill before his consecration bind himself to the presiding Bishop, to be amenable to the constitution | canons of the Protestant Episcopal church | the United States, both as to its personal conduct and to the Episcopal government of the territory under his charge until there shall be three Bishops consecrated by this House of | Bishops resident and exercising their jurisdic- tion in Mexico and by their joint action a na- tional church shall have organized. The _following resolution adopted Resolved, That a commission of shree Bishops be appointed, who, having satisfled themselves that the above conditions are complied with, may request the presiding Bishop to call a meeting of the House of Bishops to consider and decide the question of consecrating not more than two Bishops for the Mexican church The Eishops of Maryland, California and Los Angeles were appointed.
