NEW CASES OF DIPHTHERIA,
Reports of the Disease Received To-
day at Health Office.

Up TO o'clock this Afternoon seven new
cases of dIphtheria were reported at the
health office. Eight new cases of scarlet
fever were also reported up to the same
hour. Three of the latter cases were re-
ported from enc house and two from an
other. This shows, the health officials de-
clare, that the contagion centers are not
so widespread might be imagined from
the number of cases reported.
Yesterday thirteen new cases of diph-
theria were reported, as against five re-
CoVeFleS and two Deaths leaving q total
of l26 cases in the city al that time in
uinety-one houses. 1t is said that under
the present regulations regarding con-
t2gious diseases no radical steps can be
taken for stamping out d:phtheria. and the
extent of its prevalence will be a matter
of luck more than ANYTHING else.

Divided on Territorial Expansion.

On the question of territorial expansion
all the factions of the silver combination
are divided. Within the little cotaile of
silver republicans are found the most earn
est advocates on one hand and the most
determined opponents to it on the other.
Within the democratic party the same con-
diton exists. 1t is believed that when
these factions are confronted with the
necessity OF doing something ;he whole
combir alton will go to pieces. With the
faint prospect of having control of the
next House, they are already fighting bit
terly over the speakership. Even with a
majority Of their own party the democrats
will have difficulty in adjusting their dit-
ferences SO to elect a Speaker, and if
there should be a composite majority of
all that stands opposed to the republican
party, it will be almost impossible for the
democrats to elect the Speaker.

doctrine, the history of the church. its
ideals and aspirations. and responds To the
need of mankind in this regard Many de-
clare they will not obey the Doane canon
if enacted. and that they will not be dis
ciphned by their bishops for doing so, but
if they are they will suffer the penalty and
continue to commit the offense, even if

eighteenth chapter of the Book OF Levitt
Gus.
Bishop Seymour of Springfield moved
that it be amended by stating the degrees
as defined in the prayer book, but ii
rejected.
Sharp debate followed and the original
paragraph was tabled.
Then paragraph ii. section l. was present
ed for adoption. follows:
1T shall be the Guty of ministers to ad-
onish the people from time to time that
the church discountenances c.andesJne
marriage
This was strongly attacked, tine oppS-
rents holding tina; il was obviously un-
necessary and therefore useless The bisn-
cps finally voted TO reject the paragraph.
Nothing else Of Importance transpired be-
fore adjournment at $50.
An eminent bishop speaking to The Star
said:
IF anybody tells you that Bishop Potter
has not majority of the bishops with
him in this controversy you can deny It
safely
An Important Question.
The question of marriage and divorce in
issue, is one of the most important and
most ancient in the church. In England
for centuries the canon prohibited remar-
riage of party to a divorce during the
lifetime of the other party. At the convG-
Gallon of Canterbury the sentime mt was n
favor of permitting remarriage to the inao-
cent party to a divorce obtained on the
81 ound of adultery. The opposite and an
cient view was held at the convocation OF
York, and the Church of England has re-
j n aimed divided on the subject.
In America the increase of divorces has
alarmed the Episcopal clergy, and at the
last general convention the joint commits
sio't on revision undertook to prepare 4
new canon in place of the one in existence
as follows:
NC minister. knowingly, after due in
qulry. shall solemnize the marriage of any
person who has a divorced husband or wife
still living. if such husband or wife has
been put away for any cause arising after
marriage; but this canon shall not lie hell
to apply to the innocent party in divorce
Tor the cause of adultery, or to parties
once divorced seeking to be united again"
After consideration and inquiry the ma
1ority of the joint commission presented
new canon. as above quoted, anG lhe
minority one of their own, also as described
above. The bishops and clergy are nosy
divided on the lines laid down by the con
flicting substitutes.
Tkcse in favor Of the majority camoa ar
que that marriage * a sacrament iii,il:-
soluble and typifieS the union of Christ anJ
His church. They are led by Bishop Doaue
OF Albany, ana the bishops of Vermont

geies are minor leaders.
