THE PAGE DIVORCE SUIT.
AiimOny Reduced and Custody of
Children Given 10 the Husband.

Justice Barnard yesterday made an i'm
portant ruling in the case of Ella Lillian
Page against her husband, William Henry
Page, for a limited divorce. Soon after
Mrs. Page filed her petition she was al
lowed s45 per month. Yesterday the mat
ter came up before Justice Barnard on
the motion of Edward G. Niles, counsel
for the defendant, asking for the reduc-
tion Of the amount of a1imony allowed
and also the custody of the children.
After hearing testimony and argument
on the questions the court granted both
the requests made on behalf of Mr. Page.
The amount of alimony was reduced from
ss5 TO s25 per month. In awarding the
custody of the children 10 the father JUS
tice Barnard said:
The father is the natural custodian of
the children to any marriage, without il
is shown that he lives life which makes
him unfit TO take care of, raise and edu-
cate the children. As he is responsible in
law for their support and maintenance he
should have the care OF them"
The court allowed Mrs. Page TO have
The care and custody of the children dur
ing certain hours of each week during the
pendency of the suit. Under this order
the children will be turned over to the
defendant al once.

in the case Of imports, more than double the
figures for 1880. In view OF the fact that
railways are now opening up districts pre-
viously cut off from communication with
ports. it is fairly safe to predict that in less
than another ten years the trade will have
again doubled. Exports are at present
former due to cost ofrcarriage and heavy
taxation the latter to adulteration or faulty
methods of preparation for foreign markets.
Prices will come down when railways bring
the goods more cheaply to the ports and in

severally July 13, IA, II and IS, and
forwarded from Chefoo July IS to 20,

foreign affairs, NJ. Delcasse. The dis
patch dated July Is says a courier
from Pekin relates that since June 90
the foreign ministers had been be-
sieged in the British legation and that
the marines were making a vigorous
defense. The supply of ammunition
was low and the peril Of those in the

marines had been sixteen killed and
seventeen wounded.
