Adultery must be proven 1t was the
husbands duty to act eXpeditiously SO
his wife should not remain longer than
necessity required if guilty, uncon-
victed, and if innocent, under the
shadow of such scandalous and dis
graceful a charge"
The chancellor finds there was no col
fusion to secure divorce In the decree
reference to testimony is made, but the
chancellor does not mention Hallet AL
sop Borrawe by name. Zone B., a
neighbor, is mentioned as having been
named as a correspondent in suit
brought by Drayton against his wife
Borrowe was correspondent to that suit
In reviewing the testimony, the
chancellor says it appeared that Dray-
ton questioned his wifes fidelity while
they were living at Bernardsville, in
! this state, and that she then went to
her fathers home. This was in Octo-
Der. 1891. In November, a partial re-
Cancellation was effected between Mr..
and Mrs. Drayton. They then went to
England While there, the estrange-
ment widened and Mrs. Drayton, ac-
cording to her own testimony, became
UNHAPPY AND MISERABLE,
and determined that separation was
necessary. Having no one in whom
to confide, she telegraphed to America
for 3D. and he met her at a London
hotel, where arrangements had been
! made for her to meet an American
! lawyer. The lawyer was late in ar
irving, and Mrs. Drayton and "B''
went into another room, where they
had lunch: a waiter being in the room
with them. While they were in this
| room, Drayton and two men, pre-
sumably detectives. entered and identi-
fed her, afterwards departing. After
this, in accordance with an arrange
ment between her lawyer and her hus-
bands lawyer, Mrs Drayton went to
! Wimbledon to bid her children good
| bye. She then went to Paris to meet
| her father, who persuaded her to seek
a reconciliation for the sake of the
children.
The chancellor says he is satisfied
that this
EFFORT AT RECONCILIATION
was made in good faith by Mrs. Dray-
ton, but was rejected by her husband,
! because of his continued belief in her
unfaithfulness. He points out that the
legal time for bringing suit for deser-
ton had elapsed, and that the deser-
ton was wilful continued and obsti-
nate. The only point, he says. was
whether the desertion was justifiable.
! He refers to the fact that the hus-
bands suit for divorce on the ground
of adultery was not brought until June,
| 1891, and that since that time no
charge of adultery has been adduced
and in the present suit the husband
made no charge of adultery, but con-
tented himself with denial of the
desertion.

FoREIaN-BRED CATTLE.
Lively Discussion in 1he House
of Commons.

of Commons.
LONDON, March 23.-During the dis
cussion of the second reading of the
bill introduced by Mr.. Walter Long,
the president of the board of agricul-
ture, providing for the permanent eX-
clusion of foreign bred cattle, Mr.. j.
Martin White liberal member for For
farshire and merchant of New York
City; Mr.. r. j. Brice, liberal member
for eastern Norfolk, the Rt. Hon. Sir
George Trevelyan, liberal member for
the Bridgeton divisions of Glasgow,
and others opposed the measure. urg-
ing that there was no danger in the
importation of Canadian cattle and
claiming that the passage of the bill
would seriously injure British stock
raisers.
Mr.. Long, in reply said the bill was
only intended to give the security nee
essary to the farmers, Diseases, he
explained, remained latent for long
time. Only recently there was an out
break of pleuro-pneumonia in England
and whole herd had to be killed.
Rt. Hon. A. j. Mundella, radical
member for Sheffield, and president of
the board of trade in the former lib
eral ministry, thought it would become
necessary to exclude Canada from the
operation of the bill.
Mr.. Balfour, government leader,
spoke in favor of the bill, repeating
the points in the argument made by
Mr.. Long, its author. The bill was then
read second time, receiving pa votes.
Following the discussion, papers were
discussed by the government relating
to the importation of cattle. The board
of husbandry, writing to Mr.. Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies
on March 16, repeat their opinion that
the proposals contained in Mr.. Longs
Dill are not more likely to prejudice the
development of the Canadian cattle
trade that they have the trade in cat
tie from the United States.

THE AMNESTY DECREE.
Important Question Comes Before
the Reichstag.


BERLIN, March 23-In the refchstag
today a question was asked regarding
the publication, without authority, in
January last, by the Vorwaerts. of the
amnesty decree The minister of war,
General Bronsart Won SchelIendorff,
replied that socialist workmen had
beisn induced to steal it by their So
oialistic tenets. and therefore socialism
connived at theft.
The general proceeded to deliver an
Indictment against the principles of
the socialists, and cited a number of
cases in support of mis- assertions. He
declared, for instance, that Herr Rebel,
the socialist leader, had frequently al
lowed men TO tell him lies and then
come to the reichstag as the mouth
piece of gross untruths. His (BebeIs
assertion of arbitrary conduct and in
justice in the army. said the general.
were unfounded. The army, he insist
ed. was above these charges and at
tacks. Cheers from the Conserve
tives)
Herr Liebieneck replied that the alb
straction of the amnesty decree was
harmless act. The minister for war
pointed out that the publication in the
middle class press of drafts of bills
which could only be obtained by
breach of confidence was in ev1sry way
reprehensible. During the course of
a stormy debate on the subject which
followed. the president Of the reichstag.
Baron Won ol-Berenberg. frequently
called Herr Bebel to order for violent
language The latter asserted that the
court which sentenced the publishers
of the amnesty decree was biased, and
he accused the Conservatives of sup
pressing rascaltty. Baron Won Ham
merstein and several Conservatives fol-
Cowed They charged Herr Bebel with
mixing truth with lies, and than e&-
aggerating the result. The debate was

DRAYTON'S DIVORCE.
ABSOLUTE SEPARATION GRANTED
THE WIFE.
A Man May Not Desert His Wife
Merely Because He Believes Her
TO Be Guilty of Infidelfty.

TRENTON, n. J., March 23.-Chan-
cellor McGiI filed a decree today grant
ing absolute divorce to Mrs. Charlotte
Coleman Drayton from j. Coleman
Drayton, IN the ground of desertion.
Mrs Drayton is the daughter of the
late William Aston. The decree says:
1T is impossible to escape the con-
viction that the defendants suspicious
of his wife's infidelity were not desti-
TUE of foundation, in questionable cir
cumstances at least. but L fail to find
any judicial precedent which holds that
under the statute similar to that of this
state, a husband may with impunity
be guilty of deSertion of his wife, mere
ly because he believes her. even under
gravely suspicious circumstances, to
have been guilty of adultery
''Desertion," the chancellor holds. sis
justified only when it is shown by clear
and satisfactory proof that the desert
ing party has been SO offended against
as to authorize at his instance a decree
of divorce or judicial separation.
If the defendant would rely upon his
charge of adultery as a defense against
her charge Of desertion. he must prove
il. There is no evidence that it was
the lileuliOH vi lie ueIeHudHl at Inc
time he left petitioner TO institute a
suit for divorce on the ground of adul-
terry. He did in fact commence such
suit in June. 1898, a time so remote
from the commencement of the separa-
ton that more than the period pre-
scribed by law in which the desertion
must continue to constitute cause for
divorce had interviewed and thereby the
cause for divorce had become available
TO her; and even after a lapse of that
time his suit was res prosecuted with
diligence. A mere institution of a suit
for divorce on the ground Of adultery
will not avail as a defense to a suit
for divorce on the ground Of desertion

THE CANADIAN COMMONS.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 23.-Today's
debate in the house of commons was
occupied with a resolution from Nc
Neil from the effect it would be to
the advantage of Canada and the en-
pire as whole that a small duty, ir-
respective of any existing tariff, be
levied by each member of the empire
against foreign product imported by
them, and that the proceeds from
such duties be devoted to purposes of
imperial defense. Mr.. Mcneil pointed
out that the money thus collected in
Canada would be devoted to a fast At
lantic steamship line, the Pacific cable,
and Atlantic coast defenses.
Messrs. DAWN and Weldon, COnserv-
altives, supported the resolution, while
Mr.. Charlton, Liberal, characterized
the proposition of England departing
from it's free trade policy IS utterly
absurd.
