The vote was S6 to 49 Sen ator Tillman did his best to have the divorces of other states recognized in this state, but for once his appeals were heard with a deaf ear and was voted down. The Bible was quoted from very freely during the debate. The parliamentary clincher was put on after the matter was adopted. There was a fight to-day to have the conven- tion take a recess until January IA. This was killed. Then an effort was made to have recess of ten days. This, too, failed, the vote being S6 to 53

HARvARD,s BAooDY MONDAY.
Lively Freshman-Sophomore Rush-Cla
 of '99 May be Suspended from Athletics

Lively Freshman-Sophomore Rush-Class of '99 May be Suspended from Athletics,
 Boston, Oct. 1.-"Bloody Monday night" was celebrated by an exciting rush at Harvard last night Despite the efforts that have been made during the past two weeks to do away with this ancient custom, there was rush in front of Matthew's last night.
 There was a time when sporting men came out from Boston to see a Harvard rush as they now come over to see a football game. Then it was full of ex- citing incidents The rushers were or ganized, regularly lined up, and with locked arms went at each other But gradually it became a free fight, and grab for hats and caps. There were broken heads and bloody noses in the old days.
 In comparison with the rushes of the past two years that of last night was a fairly good fight.
 | The sophs mustered in force just ! after the reception in Sanders the ater, and were soon marching around | the yard, cheering and bowling at the | top of their lungs. The usual quiet of l the college yard was made hideous. | Soon the freshmen, who had just met | President Eliot at Memorial hall, be. gan to assemble in groups of four an6 l five. Some wore caps and others had | bare heads. The class of '99 was in. l clined to hold back. They had to be urged on, and then '97 turned out ir l full force to do the tantalizing ant ! coaxing of the freshies. l At first '98 began marching around l the yard and cheering. The freshmen were still backward. Then the sopho mores line up three deep in front O. Weld hall and waited. There was only a small group of freshmen in the yart | when the juniors withdrew behind tn, wire fences.
 The upper classmen lined the steps O Matthews and laughed at the fresh men and then cheered them on Tht freshmen, led by one little fellow wht sprang to the front and rallied his hesi | ating classmates charged on the sopho | mores. They went at the sophs witt 1 a rush. and for three minutes there wa
 
 a fine struggle.
 The object of every man seemed to b. to collect as many hats as possible Then they struggled apart and botl sides rested preparatory for anothe encounter.
 Again '99 did the charging, and scrimmage even more exciting than tn first ensued.
 After the second rush good orde was soon restored and gradually tn yard was cleared.
 There was one unnatural thin about the rush in the yard. No at tempt was made by the faculty to put stop to the fight, as has been done fo a number of years.
 The freshmen will probably be sus pended by the faculty from athleti privileges for this year as a punish ment for the rush. The faculty are op posed to it.

PEARY SAYS HE IS THROUGH.
He Says He Never Expects to See the NortI, Pole Unless it is Brought Here.

Pole Unless it is Brought Here.
 Portland, Me, Oct 1.--Lieut and Mrs. Peary reached this city at an early hour this morning by way of the Canadian Pacific road They crossed over to their home near Cape Elizabeth this morn ing. Upon arriving home the explorer found that his aged mother, impatient to see him, had left for this city to meet her son. He at once turned back and met her returning.
 The meeting between mother and son was most affecting. Mrs. Peary was hardly willing that her son should leave her side for a minute. He was seen. however,by an Evening Sun reporter, to whom he said that it was too early for him to review his experience dur ing the long months he spent searching for the North Pole.
 In reply to a question as to whether he expected to make another and more successful expedition, he said:
 "No. I shall never see the North Pole unless someone brings it here. , Then looking out of the window, he continued: Tt seems good to be back here where I can see such strange things as houses, trees and people,"
 q am done with it." he said Tn my judgment such work requires a far younger man than I. The leader of such party should be able not only to do as much as anyone else, but more than any other man. He should be under thirty, rather than over forty am too old to snowshoe twenty-five or thirty miles a day for weeks, and to carry heavy load during most of the time For that work one should be a trained man, a thorough athlete, and that I am not"
 Lieut.. Peary said that he is rapidly recovering his health.
 q believe the pole will be reached. ' continued MT. Peary, and I think the work will be accomplished in a com paratively short time. I am, however no believer in the existence of the open polar sea"
 Mrs. Peary said that she hoped and believed that her husband had got enough of the Artic region. She spoke brightly and bravely of her own exper- fence while in the land of ice, but said that she thought that her husband had done quite enough in that line.

Judge Dow continued the case until to-day for a decision. The other boys who were arrested, James Moran, thirteen; John Harrington, fifteen, and Louis Beyers, twenty years, were held until to-day when they will be tried on reform school complaints.
