Gore as Bishop of Westmin- ster to-day was attended by an extraor- dinary scene of tumult. Numerous objectors to the confirmation among whom was John Kensit, the noto. rious anti-ritualist crusader, protested so | vehemently that what was intended to be | 2 semi-religious ceremony assumed the character of a disorderly political gath- | ering. | Bishop Gore's editorship of Lux Mundi | {and the fact that he is the founder of a | monastic celibate society figured large among_the arguments of the protestors. | The Vicar General ruled out most of the protests, whereupon Kensit in vigor- ous terms defied the Vicar General to stifie him, declaring he would continue to protest until ejected by force. A general uproar followed, and it was only when the Vicar General prepared to | carry out his threat to clear the hall that | Kensit consented to sit down. Shouts of “Farce!” and “Conspiracy!” accompanied | Bishop Gore's declaration and the ad- ministration of the oath. Falls Dead in Court.

Is Held Up Early in the Point Raised in an Appeal Evening While on His ‘Way Home. Three footpads held up Charles Ober- deener, salesman for W. Oberdeener, sta- tionery and paper merchant, 18 First strect, on Webster street, between Oak and Page, shortly after 7 o’clock Monday night and robbed him of $5, all the money he had in his possession. Oberdeener lives on Haight street, near Fillmore, and was on his way home. He was walking along the west side of Web- ster street, between Oak and Page, where there are no houses, when he passed three men. He had his umbrella up and did not see them till he was close upon them. Just as he was passing them one said: “Say, young fellow, we want to speak to you.” He stopped and was told to throw. up his hands and make no noise. The tall- est of the three men had something like a revolver in his hand and kept it in view of Oberdeener, while another of the foot- pads went through his pockets. After securing Oberdeener’s money they told him to ‘‘get,” and not make any out- cry or he would repent it. As soon as he got away he started to run and did not stop until he reached the barber shop on Haight street, near Fillmore. Oberdeener notified the police Tuesday, and from the description he gave of the three men it is supposed they might have been those who killed Policeman Robin- Bon.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 22.—Stephen A. Dole, aged 59 years, a brother of Governor Dole of Hawaii, died at Tucker, Utah, yesterday after a long illness. Dole was for many years a resident of Washington, D. C., and at one time was Indlan agent at the White Rock Agency in Colorado, Mrs, E. L. Campbell, Dr. Dqlelhtn{ Taken From Decision of Judge Troutt. The appeal of Mrs. Abbie Rose Wood in the suit brought by her to recover a por- tion of her late husband’s estate, and also the appeal from Judge ‘[routt’s refusal to grant her a family allowance, were ar- gued yesterday in the Supreme Court. ‘In the original action she failed to secure judgmenut on tne ground that she was a divorced woman and could not legally marry within a year after the decree had been granted, the court hoiding that her marrfage to Joseph M. Wood at Reno, Nev., was an evasion of the laws of Cal- ifornia_and theretore invalid. The Chief Justice and Justices McFar- land and Garoutte appeared to take the View yesterday that as the California law stands the prohibition against divorced parties marrying within one year after aivorce could only apply to the case of a marriage in California; in other words, that the divorced party may go beyond the State and marry where he or she Dleases. Attorney Timothy J. Lyons, who argued in favor of the validity of the Reno mar- riage, claimed that the laws of the State as 1o marriages only refer to unions con- tracted in the State, and that no State has. any right to make a law as to the effect of any act done in another State; also. that the right of marriage is one of pecullar sanction in that marriage is the foundation of human soclety, and that the right of marriage is therefore a nat- ural one, which may be exercised and en- tered into wherever the parties may choose. Lyons also contended that it is unreasonable to ask a court to undo an act which partles have done under the highest obligation to society. Kormer Judge Oliver P. Evans, counsel for the heirs disputing the marriage, ar- gued that a divorce decree in this State did not go into effect until one year after the judgment of .divorce was rendered. He further argued that the divorced parties remained in law married during that one year of suspension. It was this contention on the part of Evans that called forth the questioning remarks of the Chief Justice and of Jus- tices Garoutte and McFarland. Evans was apparently angered at the questions put to him at Intervals by At- torney W. S. Wood, who appeared as as- sociate counsel with Lyons. Evans also complained of the criticisms of him con- tained in the reply brief of Wood and Lyons and took especial objection to that part of. the criticism which, he said, was an attempt to teach him how to write a brief. Turning to opposing counsel Evans said bitterly, “I take it whence it comes, and so let it rest on that.” The court took the case under advise- ment. FALLS BACKWARD DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS John W.

WRECKAGE MAY BE OF GONDOR Cutter Grant Picks Up Oars and Pieces of Boats. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Jan. 22— The British Admiralty has about given up hope for the safety of the warship Condor, according to a dispatch received here to-day by Collector of Customs Heustis from the Treasury Department in ‘Washington. The dispatch is as follows: At the suggestion of the Secretary of State, by request of the British-Government, you are directed to report whether there has beefi any signs on your coast of a British warship in distress, or any wreckage therefrom. This in- quiry is made because of fear that an acci- dent may have befallen the British warship Condor, which left Esquimalt for Honolulu on December 2, and has not been heard from. . A report of the wreckage found by the revenue cutter Grant off the Vancouver coast, consisting of oars, pieces of boats and a portion of a cabin and also the finding of a clinker built ship’s boat by Indians at the entrance of Barclay Sound, was sent to the department. The boat answers the description of, those carried by the Condor, and it is the opinion of shipping men that it belonged to the miss- ing warship. The wreckage reported by the Grant is fresh and was not there several months ago, when the Grant made a cruise around that island. Captain Tozier says that, judging from the amount of wreck- age strewn on the beach, the recent storms played havoc with many vessels of which no report has been made. The Grant will remain here for a day or two, in anticipation of orders to make an ex- tended cruise to search for the missing warship.
