CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The house of delegates of

sion to-day. The committee on canons sub
| mitted a report authorizing the diocese of
northern New Jersey to change it's name to
that of Newark. The report also recon-
mended that no church edifce should be con-
secrated while any debt or money lien rested
upon it. The report after considerable dis
cussion was placed on the calendar. 1t was
reported from the house of bishops, the
house of deputies concur1ing, that there is
no constitutional obstacle to the considera-
ton and adoption of the several additions
and alterations in the book of common pray
er proposed to the general convention of
1888. A similar report was presented on
behalf of the committee ON Gturgical revision
of the house of deputies. The reports were
referred to the committee on constitutional
amendments. report of the joint commit
tee on the spiritual care of immigrants was
adopted It recommends that joint COM
mittee of both houses be appointed to con-
suit with the authorities of the churches of
England, Scotland and. Ireland and the
Church of England in Canada for just
action for the reception and spiritual care
of immigrants. A unanimous report of the
joint committee marriage and divorce
was read. The report proposed new canon
providing that marriage of any person
under eighteen years shall be solemnized
unless the parents or guardian be present or
have given written consent; that at least
two witnesses knowing the contracting par
ties be present; that divorce can only be en-
conraged or granted on the ground of infidel-
ity, the guilty person being forbidden to
again marry during the lifetime of the per-
son from whom he or she was divorced. The
proposed canon forbids the remarriage of
divorced persons under certain circumstan-
ces. The report was made special order
