ONE PROHIBITS MARRIAGE OF DIVORCES
A Committee of Twelve Prepared the

subject of marriage and divorce VIII be
placed before the body tor Its consid

laws of the Episcopal church, the Episco-
pal church will have pronounced its ana
thema against divorce and MORE partc-
ularly against the remarriage of divorced
persons while another party to the d.
vorce Is still In life. The subject OF mar
of attention at the hands of the general
Episcopal conference of 1885, so much SO
In fact that committee of twelve Was
appointed to consider the matter and
make such recommendations the next
conference as would pave the way for
changes in the present tenets OF the
church on these subjects. This commit
tee. after having met year ago, when
they failed 10 reach an agreement, again
went into session today. The committee
spent the greater portion of the day
wrestling with the problem before them.
AT the close of this afternoons session
1t was announced that the conference Of

THE TROUBLES OF THE CHINESE
to Ruin the Russian Empire. Says
a Russian Paper.

st. Petersburg, November a. The
Rossya has made the original discovery
that the Chinese troubles threaten to
ruin the Russian empire
II the powers. II is added, continue
their present policy China will be unable
to pay money indemnity and conse-
quently, the powers will demand and Sc
cure railway and commercial concessions
which would result in division of China
into spheres OF influence and ultimately
into the partition OF China In spite OF
the assurances of the powers to the con-
trsry. the Chinese, II Is further asserted,
indignant, will emigrate to Siberia and
the yellow horde" will again 'preclpl-
tate itself toward European Russia,
which Will sink to the point to a second
rank power. The other powers probably
will be satisfied with this eventually
their interests being solely commercial"
The Novoe Vremya finds the situation
worse and says the powers must act In
dependently Henceforth, II asserts, each
power must bear the responsibility of Its
own army. The paper adds: while the
minister's were in danger there was some
excuse for confidence, but II Russia freed
Tien Tsln and planted the hrst flag on
the walls of Pekin, she wisely withdrew
majority of her troops from Count Won
Waldersee's functions
Continuing the Japanese Russian dis
cussion. the Novoe vremya says: 1.-The
English journals in the Japanese ports
are convinced the Japanese can easily
vanquish the Russians. However, the
English back-down in the case of Port
Arthur has opened Japanese eyes. The
present campaign gave the armies OF .he
two powers an opportunity to learn and
esteem each other"
Several OF the papers take their cue
from the Novoe Vremya and follow UP its
argument in the same strain. The Boerse
Gazette observes that all the nations are
seeking Japanese alliance, but Russia's
alone Is valuable
The paper adds Russia and Japan
will dictate the future of East Asia"

PROGRESS GRATIFYING.
Proportions VIII he Ready Earlier
Than Was Expected.

Pekin. November 12.-(Via Shanghai,
November 14.)--A protracted conference
of the foreign ministers was held today,
at the conclusion OF which there was a
general expression OF qualification at the
