UANABA's MARRIAGE LAWS.
An EROr5 to Restrict the Union o
Divorced Persons.


VICTORIA B. C.. Jan. S.-As a result Of
several months consideration Of the sub
feet the Ministerial Association OF British
Columbia has challenged the legitimacy Of
the marriage in Canada OF American di-
vorced persons where decrees of separation
have been granted on other grounds than
adultery. which alone is recognized under
the Dominion statutes.
Heretofore issuers Of marriage licenses
have maintained that they cannot go beyond
the decree itself The association Is now
asking the government 10 legislate in the
marriage act so that licenses may only be
issued on establishment Of the cause Of
divorce being sufficient under Canadian
laws
II is also sought TO prohibit the marriage
Of blood relatives Bishop Perrin and Rev.
w. Leslie Clayu the dspokesmen for the
clerical organization hold that. while
25 per cent Of the marriages solemnized
here are those OF divorced persons, those
whose separations are based on grounds
other than adultery are now bigamously
married and liable TO prosecution.

one Of its advocates In the French cham
Der OF deputies.
A prominent New ENGLAND Senator who
had carefully studied the provisions OF the
convention remarked that ii proposed tic
give France nearly everything and reserve
nothing FOR the United States. and anOth-
er Senator commenting on the statements
referred to, said:
Il thinL we would better go slow and see
first what France viii do with the treaty.
I am in favor of fair and equitable COM
mercial reciprocity. and in the case OF
South American countries / would be will
ing TO vote for very liberal arrangements.

The Sena tOr added. in substance: "As 20
the pending conventions with several Of the
British West Indian colonies. / have not
formed an opinion which may not be
changed. We have duties TO perform in
regard to Porto Rice and its people which
We cannot and must not neglect. The in
terests involved are as much our interests
as are those OF Connecticut and Alaska or
any ether State or Territory. and we must
do naught TO injme or endanger. but ey-
erything possible 20 p, note and ensure,

II The reciprocity treaties with the British
West indies would interfere with that pol
icy and purpose I should oppose their rati-
ficatiOn."
The negotiations. which resulted In the
preparation Of the convention with France.
were especially tedious and presented many
serious difficulties, which. il is asserted,
could only be overcome by mutual conces-
CessIOns which were not wholly satisfactory
10 either party. 10 is further asserted that
after the convention was signed the French
representative felt so many and such Sc
rious misgiyings respecting the reception it
would meet with i'm France that they in
sisted on and eNaCted a pledge that its
scope and terms should not be made public
I'm the United States until they could pave
the way for favorable action In France.
Whether. II that be correct. the French
uegotiat0rs by their Paris disclosures have
done anything TO promote the ratification

which there can be two opinions il the tone
of comment In Washington is regarded as
OF much consequence.

Company. in this city. has been abandoned.
The American Thread Company, OF which
the Kerr Company is now a part mas de-
cided to increase the plant at WiIlamantic.
Conn, by $1,000 spindles. The reasons as
signed for the abandonment Of the prof.
ect are that the inducements offered here
are practically nothing so far as the city
is concerned, and the cost of labor is very
high and trades unions dominate the situa-
tiOn as to wages.
The city is not disposed to build roads

tance from the main roads.

A OFFER.

The Northwestern newspaper which
is conceded the largest circulation is
the Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all
round purveyor of information and
entertaining reading it's popularity is
the best proof Of its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the
city people the Twice-a-Week edition
Of the anne publication, the Farmers
Tribune, is to that great majority of
the people of the state who are too
busy to read a daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Trib-
une, is, to all intents and purposes, the
farmers daily. 1t is a condensation
Of the news for the three days preced-
ing the date of publication and it con-
tains the very latest news up to the
hour of going to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not pre-
sumo to take the place Of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place just
outside Of the sphere of the home paper
and in this capacity it is Of the high
est value to a large majority Of the
