Again the Interesting question is raised 81
10 he exact relation of Canadian and nit,
States livorce laws One of The strongest
reasons ahy Canadians are opposed to
annexation is that the divorce laws of the
nited States are 40 lax, but if an American
divorce annulling Canadian marriage will
hold good in Canada of what use are wise
Canadian marriage and divorce ltws2 If a
Canadian who cannot secure divorce in
Canada can get oae by 'sking trip to
Chicago marry again, and live in
Canada with the new wife or hus-
band of what value are our elaborate at
tempts to restrict divorce? The high stand
ng OF Hon. Mr. Foster snd Mrs Chisholm
should rot blind us TO the fact that their
marriage is Il severe blow to the observance
of Canadian law. Indeed the very eminence
of the contracting parties constitutes the dan
ger of the example. We are under the i'm
precision that our courts have already decided
that an American tribunal cannot annu a
Canadian marriage, but if thi. is not so, and
if Canadian laws are not so framed as to
make such marriage Illegal. i: seems neces-
sary they Should be amended in that direc
ton, if we in this country are to have any
defense against one of the greatest social
evils in the United States. namely the lasity
of divorce.

NOT DOWN TO BUSINESS YET.
The International Conference In Session
but Not Fairly Settled to Work.

There was almost absolute calm at the head
quarters of the international American confer
ence today. A few delegates wandered in,
stayed around for awhile and then wandered
out again. OF business there was little or none
and the three or four little groups OF mingled
North and South Americans passed away an
hour or two chatting about what the confer
ence may do when it settles down TO business.
Nearly all the delegates and attaches viii go to
Roach's ship yard at Chester, Pa, on Saturday
to witness the launching of the Orizeba Of the
Ward line of steamers.
Tomorrow at o'clock the conference will
assemble to discuss the report of the commit
tee on rules and to organize for the months of
labor which are ahead OF it, A few of the
thoughtless ones connected with the gathering
have stated that the whole thing would be
over and forgotten before the snow goes next
spring, but some of the older and moro exper-
fenced minds have come to the conclusion that
the conference will be holding regular sessions
in the Wallach house when the daisies
peep through the sod and it may
be that the delegates will not have
departed when haying time comes around
and when the song of the scythe-sharpener
is heard in the land. 1t was very evident to
those who looked over the assemblage Of dele
gates yesterday that a vast amount of almost
understandable eloquence was present and that
it will take each man quite awhile to relieve
himself of his oratorical burden. Some of the
South Americans are gifted with good deal OF
high-grade ability TO talk, and rumor has 1t that
some of the United States delegates will not
suffer by comparison. Besides there are lots OF
work to do. No one who has studied the men
in the conference looks for a speedy adjourn
ment

From Wall Street Today.

New YORK, Nov. 10, II a.m.-There was con-
siderable pressure to sell in the stock market
this morning and the opening was decidedly
weak, first prices generally showing declines
from last nights figures of from Is to q. Lack
awanna and Northwestern leading among the
active stocks These declines were followed by
further concessions in the early dealings and,
although the selling movement was over before
the expiration Of the first half hour, Lacka-
wanna at its lowest point had scored q net loss
of per cent, sugar retneries / Is, Louisville
and Nashville Missouri Pacific and cotton oil
"a each Denver, Texas and Fort Worth "a
and others smaller amounts. At the same time
decided strength was shown by Hooking coal
and it rose II to 20, and among the active
stocks Richmond and West Point advanced
fractionally. Colorado coal, however wac one
of the leading weak stocks and declined u.
The market then became quiet and slow up
ward movement took place, while the market
displayed no further feature of interest.
Union Pacific, cotton oil and St. Paul were the
most active stocks and there was fair bust
ness in Lackawanna, Reading, Louisville and
Nashville, Missouri Pacific, Atchison and few
others, but the remainder of the list was dull
throughout. At IL o'clock the market was
quiet and firm at close to the opening figures.
