Inasmuch as the bill has not been dis

ments that substitute will be reported in
stead of the House bill, with amendments
according to the ordinary course of proceed
ings, are at least premature. The idea of
those members of the committee who ex-
pressed the opinion that a substitute would
be reported was that such course would
facilitate the proceedings between the two
houses. A leading member of the commit
tee said to-day that the policy of the COM

and number of amendments or changes it
was found desirable to make to the bill as

Another Death-The Divorce Question
Before the Conference.
ST. Louis, May 24-Another death was
announced in the general conference of the
Methodist church, south, this morning.
Rev. J. e. Mann of Newberne, N. c., was
taken sick Thursday and was sent to st.
Luke's hospital, whore he died last night.
Bishop Fitzgerald made the announcement
of the sad event in few affecting words,
bringing tears to the eyes Of nearly every
one present. The North Carolina delegation
will take charge of the funeral services,
which will be held in the Centenary church
tomorrow afternoon, and the remains will
be forwarded to Newberne Monday morn
ing.
THE DIVORCE QUESTION.
The conference received a communion
ton from the National Reference Reform
Association addressed to the bishops and
delegates, calling their attention to the
question of divorce, and asking some
action, such as would aid in the elevation
of public opinion on the subject. Rev. s.
Rodgers of Baltimore prepared and pre-
sented a response in the form of reso-
luton, which contained the information
that in the past twenty years 326, ZIG
divorces had been granted in the country.
In that period the population OF tho country
had increased GO per cent, while divorces
had increased 107 per cent. There are
forty-six sets of laws in the
states and territories, no two
being alike. Thirty causes for divorce are
recognized in these laws. The resolution
was that the Methodist Episcopal church
recognized but one the spirituaD cause of
divorce, and 1t will rejoice in the day when
the laws OF all the states accord with the
law Of the church In the matter.
