The question, who may marry? is playing
very important part In the proceedings
Of the General Convention Of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, now In session in
Washington. As stated in our dispatches
the other day the Upper House of the
convention has reached a decision on this
important question.
The issue may be briefly stated as fol-
flows: The high church party, led by Bish-
op Doane of Albany, New York, takes the
position that no minister of the Episcopal
church should soemnlze the marriage of
either party to a divorce during the life
time of the other party The position of the
broad church party, led by Bishop
Potter, of New York. is contained in the
following amendment TO the church can
non on marriage:
No minister Of this church shall
soiemnize the marriage of any per
son who has a divorced husbs nd
or wife living If such husband or wife has
been put away for any cause arising after
merSJage. This shah not apply to the in
nocent party in a divorce suit on his % her
fling with the minister as evidence Of
such innocence a legally certified trans
script of the record showing final judg-
ment or decree of a court OF record having
jurisdiction on the subject-mattes award
ing him or her a divorce "a vinculo matri-
monh' on the ground of adultery
The foregoing was adopted by the House
of Bishops a few days ago by a majority
Of one vote-the vote standing 80 to 81. 1t
is the opinion in Washington that this
amendment Will be adopted by the conven-
ton. and will become the Jaw of the Epis-
copal church. 1t is by no means satisfac-
tory TO a very large section of the church,
and il is predicted that II it should be-
come a part of the marriage canon there
would be a division of the church on ac-
count of 1t in less than a generation.

THF PRoToCoL nor sATIsFACTORY

1t seems from our dispatches that the
protocol is not satisfactory TO Spain. It is
pretty late in the day to begin finding
| fault with the protocol. Those Spanish pa
pers which are supposed TO speak for Sa-
gasta are saying that the protocol is so
! indefinite thai the Spanish commissioners
are justified in interpreting it one way
while the American commissioners inter
pref it another, and that therefore Sagasta
should ask for arbitration on certain points
on which there are grounds for doubt.
As a matter of fact there is no ground
for The Spaniards TO have a doubt about
any question that has yet come before the
commission. If what the dispatches con-
tain is true the only questions
which have come before the com
mission yet relate wholly to
Cuba and Porto Rico. There is no room
for misunderstanding what the protocol
says about those islands. 1t says that the
Spaniards shah evacuate them immediate
ly. The Spaniards have an idea that it
ought to have said something about the
debts of those islands-that is, the debts
which Spain contracted for her own ben
eht, but for which she pledged the reve-
nues of the islands. The protocol makes no
mention of any debts. but the Spanish
commissioners have been trying to get the
debt question before the commission. They
seem to have The idea that in some way
the United States viii see to it that what
Spain calls the Cuban and Porto Ricau
debts viii be paid. The understanding IS
that thus far the American commissioners
have declined to discuss the debt question,
taking the ground that the United States
have nothing to do with 1t. There is no
doubt that they are right in taking that
position The President, when he framed
the protocol had no intention that either
the United States or Cuba or Porto Rico
should pay any debt that Spain had con-
tracted and charged against the Islands.
And it is safe to say that he will never
consent that the United States shan pay or
guarantee, or that either Cuba or Porto
Rico shall pay, any debt which Spain has
made a charge upon the revenues Of the
islands.
The reported threat that Spain win re-
call her commissioners on the ground that
there is nothing for them to do, except to
agree to the term of the United States,
will not cause any alarm in this coun-
try. 1t is time that Sagasta openly adj
mitted that the Spanish government has
no ground for the preposterous demands
it is making. 1t ought to be thankful that
a money consideration, amounting to many
millions of dollars, was not eXacted when
it asked for our terms of peace. The mis-
take the President made was in referring
any thing to a commission. If he had been
as positive about the Philippines as he was
about Cuba and Porto Rico there would
have been a great saving in expense and
irouhle.

NOT A POPULAR SUGGESTION.

The purpose of the war department to
recommend to Congress that railroads be
built in Cuba in order to facilitate the
movement of troops on the island does not
seem to be very favorably received, if
what is appearing in the newspapers is
an indication of the sentiment of the peo-
pie in regard to the matter. 1t is under
stood, of course, that there is great need
of railroads in Cuba and that with them
the improvement of the island would be
much more rapid than without them, but
the position is taken that private capital
viii soon build all the railroads that the
island can support. Already charters for
roads in various parts of the island have
been applied for.
If the government should put money
in railroads in Cuba it is doubtful if it
wcud get much of it again within gen.
Grafton. The governments experience
with the Pacific roads was such as to de-
ter it from going into railroad building In
Cuba. Ii was expected that the govern
ment would soon get it's money out of the
Pacific roads. 1t has not got all of it yet.
and it will never get 1t all.
1t is doubtful if Congress will look with
favor on any proposition to spend the pub
lie money in Cuba. The Cuban leaders
are regarding with a Jealous eye every
thing that We do on the island If they
could have their way they would put our
army off the island the very moment that
the last OF the Spanish troops departed.
They have no use for us. and if the gov
eminent were 10 put millions in railroads
in Cuba 1t would never get the money out
of them, except by force. 1t is better
therefore. to let private capital do the
railroad building in Cuba.

ROOSEVELT5S FRIENDS DISAP-
POINTED.

In no other state contest this year
is there so much interest as in that
of New York. The reason is that
in that state the result of the
election win show, to a very great ex-
tent, the value In politics Of a military
reputation gained in the war with Spain.
Col Roosevelt was nominated not because
he was prominent in the counsels of his
party, but because he is a sort of war
hero having made quite reputation as a
soldier in Cuba.
Thus far it must be admitted the enthus-
iasm with which col. Roosevelt has been
received in the parts of the state, outside
of New York city, which he has visited,
has not been such as to justify the action
of the party leaders in nominating
him. For instance, his visit to the county
fair at Troy had a dampening effect on
his campaign. The reception which he
received was SO cool as to justify the OPP
position papers in referring to 1t as frosty.
Even his friends admit that 1t was a dis
NAL failure They are trying TO make II
appear that there was a mistake made by
the local managers. 1t is alleged that they
did not make an effort to get out a crowd.
The fact, however, that Col. Roosevelt
would be present seems to have been
known, and if he is the popular war can
didate he is supposed TO be there ought
to have been thousands of people at the
fair to greet him. He was also advertised
to be at the Lenox Lyceum, but there
was not crowd there TO welcome him
Ii is not surprising that under the cir
cumstances, among betting men, the feel
ing Is growing that Judge Van Wyck the
Democratic candidate, has the better
chance of being elected When Col. Roose-
welt was nominated the betting was
strongly in his favor. 1t is not now. The
belief is that Col Roosevelt is steadily
loosing ground.
Col. Roosevelt has a suspicion that his
campaign is not being well managed, and
ne is taking a hand in the matter him
self When he was nominated the Repub-
licans thought that there would not be
much need of making thorough and ac-
tive campaign of the state-that the en-
thusiasm for Col. Roosevelt would be so
great that he would be elected by an over
wheming majority, even if no speeches
were made for him and no effort were
made to get the Republicans to the polls.
The situation has undergone a radical
change. The Republicans are now putting
forth every effort in Col. RooseveIts be-
half, and, that too, with a feeling that the
chances are rather against his election

uate course in the law department.
Mr.. Wilder is immensely popular here,
where he was, up to the time of leav-

division of the most coveted trophies.
Mr.. Wilder received his Master of
Laws "cum laude." The young gentle
man is now LIB, and will get a
rousing reception when he returns to
Honolulu.
