DIVORCE LAW REFORMS.
4 Manifesto Adopted by the PAN
Presbyterian Council.

The question OF marriage and divorce il
the United States was the principa! topic
discussed this morning at the Pan-PreS-
byterian Council. The matter was
brought before the council in the form OF
a manifesto, reported from a committee
TO which the subject was referred yester-
day The manifesto recited that the Alli-
ance visTed with alarm the great number
of divorces granted by civil courts of the
United States.
After reciting the scriptural grounds
upon which the Presbyterian Church is
committed, the paper recommended that
all Christian nations take action against
present divorce systems, which strike at
the very foundations of marriages. After
rejection of amendments the manifesto
was adopted.
Considerable debate took place over res
olutions in regard TO the spirituous liquor
traffic which resulted in the council COM
mitting itself as being unalterably opposed
TO the continuance of this traffic between
American traders and the natives OF the
South Sea Islanders.
Addresses were made upon this subject
in which it was stated that England had
checked the sale of firearms and alcohol to
savages by her subjects, who endanger the
lives OF missionaries when intoxicated, and
in the possession OF firearms.
The following speakers were announced
for the night session. which closes the de-
iibeIations of the council The Revs ]. NJ

BRAzllIAAs our FRIENDS.
LEADING MEN IN SYMPATHY
WITH UNITED STATES.
Policy Of the New Administration
in the Southern Republic Sure
to be Beneficial.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Charles Page
Bryan of Chicago, United States Min
lister to Brazil, who has just arrived
from Pernambuco, said last night:
The sympathies of the leading men
in Brazil and the larger portion Of the
serious and thoughtful population are
with our nation, on whose Consultation
they have modelled theirs. During our
war with Spain that feeling showed
itself in a marked manner. i saw tre-
mendous enthusiasm when the an
nouncements of our victories were
made, and the names of our heroes
William Mckinley, Dewey, Roosevelt
and the others-are mentioned.
The new Administration of Brazil
has as it's aim financial economies
and progressive policy which is sure
to result in great benefit to the COM
mercial interests of the country that
admits Brazil products free.
''All factions of Republicans in Bra
zil scott at the efforts of our CONNER
cial rivals to arouse suspicion OF our
disinterested friendship for our. sister
republics of the Western Hemisphere.
The public expressions of Governors,
political leaders and newspaper editors
have been so emphatically favorable
to our country as to leave no doubt
Of the genuineness of the sentiment
which made itself manifest even be-
fore Dewey struck the magic blow at
Cavite. No American who was pres
ent will ever forget the patriotic emo
ton aroused by the thousands of
American flags waving side by side
with the Brazilian emblem, and the
demonstration that occurred at mid
night of the last 3D. Of July in re-
mote corner of the old State of Bahia
to greet with showers of flowers.
speeches and fireworks the incoming
of our national anniversary.
But there is something more than
sentiment in it, said Colonel Bryan
in closing. Something more than we
are seeking. Here, too, hope exists
for North American commerce in Acts
of Congress permitting differential inn
port tolls to be established favorable
to Brazilian products, and admitting
them free With returning prosperity.
under an Administration which emu
lates the reciprocity of our own Nc
Kinley, there is little doubt of the
most satisfactory increase of our COM
merce with Brazil"

every resource for stamping out the
Philippine insurrection at the earliest

every resource for stamping out the
Philippine insurrection at the earliest
possible time.
At Admiral Dewey's extended in
terview with the President to-day the
former went into the Philippine situ-
alton at great length, explaining care
fully the existing condition of affairs
and his views from the outlook, con-
cluding with an earnest recommends
tion that the Brooklyn and some other
vessels be sent at once to the Philip
pines. This reinforcement of the
present squadron he urged as neces-
sary, and said their dispatch should be
directed as early as possible.
The President Immediately commu-
nicated with the Navy Department
and instructed the Secretary of the
Navy to issue an order carrying out
the Admirals recommendation, and to
see that they be got in readiness at
once.
The Marietta and Machias, besides
the Brooklyn, will be designated by
the Navy Department, along with sew
eral other vessels which have not been
selected. The Brooklyn is now with
the other vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron off Tompkinsville, Staten ISL
and, and the Machias and the Marietta
are at present lying at the wharves in
this city on waiting orders, having been
brought here to participate in this
weeks celebration in honor of Admiral
Dewey.
These reinforcementS will add con-
siderable strength to the Asiatic squad
ron, and the Administration believes
their presence will have a material eff
feet in expediting the end of hostilities.
The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser
of the first rating, carrying twenty
main battery guns, and having total
displacement of 9,215 tons, and is 50
well thought of by Rear Admiral
Schley that he desired that she be as
signed as his flagship in the new
South Atlantic squadron.
The Marietta is a composite gunboat
of 1,00O tons displacement, and with a
main battery equipment of six guns.
The Machias, with displacement of
1,115 tons, carries battery of eight
guns.
Their commanders are all veterans of
long experience in the service. The
Theodore F. Jewell, who has seen four
teen years of sea service, and much
more than that on shore stations; the
Machias by Lieutenant Commander
Leavitt G. Logan, with fifteen years
service at sea, and the Marietta by
Lieutenant Commander Edward H.
Green, who shows seventeen years of
sea service.
The Brooklyn's formidable equipment
Will make her of invaluable general
service, while the Marietta and Machias
are expected to be of much usefulness
in the numerous shallow waters about
the archipelago, where larger craft
cannot go.
1t is not known how soon these YES
sells can be made ready, but their
orders are to get away as early as pos
sible, and no delay is anticipated.
Their commanders will report to the
department when they are ready to
proceed, and on arriving at Manila will
report without delay to the Rear Ad-
miral commanding the Asiatic station
