over the preceding year. In 1886 cases
the wife was the complainant and in
472 cases the husband was the ag-

1.46S of the marriages were solemnized

of other states came to Michigan to Sc
cure divorces. In $50 cases there were
no children born to the contracting

one child in the family. Four hundred

an uprising in the autumn and a de-

stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal

In considering the coast referred to

The British commissioners regretted
that they were absolutely unable to ac-
cept the suggested modification to their
proposition. because as suggested the
American tribunal did, notJprovide a trt-
bunal which would necessarily and. in
the possible event of differences of opin-
Ion. finally dispose Of the question. and
because the amendment to rule mark
ell an important departure from the rules

termined by the tribunal, and because
the words added by the, United States
claim that an effect should be given to
their occupation of land in British ter
ritory, which justice, reason and the
equities of the case do not require. The
British commissioners also objected that
the language used with reference to the
coast was open to miscounstruction, and
they were of the opinion that 1t was
useless to further press the negotiations
at present, and that they must refer
the matter to their government for an
exchange of views in respect to the con-
stitution of the tribunal.

British commissioners had considered the
question of selecting an umpire from the
American continent. The British mem

that they thought It most Objectionable

The Americans then proposed to pro-

they thought 1t would be unwise to de-
fer adjustments so nearly concluded. Sew
eral subjects were so far advanced as
to assure the probability of a settlement
II. then, all the differences except one
could now be adjusted. would it not
be most commendable to advance neigh

spective governments be trusted to set

direct negotiation?
The British commissioners replied that
all questions should be- deferred until
the boundary was disposed Of. either by
agreement or by reference to arbitration,
because the manner In which they were
prepared to adjust some other import
