CANON IS REJECTED.
Episcopalians Settle Question of Mar
riHEe and DivOrce-No Change
~ in Present Policy.

San Francisco. Oct. 16.-The trouble
some question of marriage and divorce
was set at rest for another three years
Tuesday by the action of the house of
deputies of the triennial Episcopal
convention in rejecting both of the
proposed canons on the subject, which
were passed by the house of bishops.
The greatest fight of the convention
has been over section 4 of canon SO, vir-
tually forbidding the remarriage of a
divorced person by priest of the
church. This had passed the house of
bishops and been adopted by yea
and nay vote in committee of the
whole of the house of deputies. When
the committee rose and reported it's
work to the house decisive vote was
taken not only on the troublesome
fourth section, but on the entire
canon, which was rejected as whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the dis
clpllnlng of persons marrying again
after being divorced, met with SINH
lar fate.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment to article 10 of the con-
stitution permitting modified forms of
worship which in spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment
recently defeated. The amendment,
though credited to Dr. McKim, of
Washington, was in reality presented
to the convention of three years ago
by DIR. Huntington. The bishops have
yet to act before the amendment can
become part of the constitution.
Both houses appointed members of a
standing committee on capital and
labor which is to investigate the sub
| lect with view to the peaceful SETTLE
ment of disagreements between en-
Ployes and workingmen and report to
each general convention,

RETURNS TO WASHINGTON.
Secretary Hay Soon to Begin Active
Work ON Final Draft of Treaty
with Britain

Washington, Oct. IL Secretary
Hay returned to Washington Wednes-
day from his summer home in New
Hampshire and resumed his duties
in the state department. Having re-
ceived full detailed reports each day
of his absence from the acting Sec
retaries, he was prepared to take up
at once the direction of the current
business of the department. Ambas-
sador Choate is expected to arrive in
Washington early next week, and
Lord Pauncefote is due the following
week, SO that the final stages of
treaty preparation will soon begin.
At present this convention exists only
in the form of protocols, representing
the various stages of the preceding
negotiations, and while these proto-
coils include substantially all of the
points to be treated, still they must
yet be reduced to the form of a
treaty, and this work will engage Sec
rotary Hays attention at once.

ment of the men this witness replied tina

Bull!es' All these witnesses testified that
the conduct of the commodore when under
lire was cool and courageous.

PRAISES HIS CHIEF.
Capt. Cook. of the Brooklyn, Says
SchIey Was Braye md Patriotic.


Schley Was Brave and Patriotic.
Washington, Oct. 15.-Monday in the
Schley court of inquiry Judge Advocate
Lemly concluded presentation of testimony
for the government and the first of Admiral
Schleys witnesses was introduced. Capt.
Francis A. Cook who commanded Admiral
then COMMODORE Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, during the Santiago campaign,
and who acted, though unoftictally, in the
capacity of chief of staff for the commo-
dore, was on the witness stand the greater
part of the day.
Capt. Cooks testimony was a review of
the entire campaign after Cervera's feet,
beginning with the departure Of TIE flying
squadron from Key West on May 10 and
concluding with the battle off Santiago July
g. He said that at first it had been be-
lieved by both Sampson and Schley that the
Spanish fleet was in the harbor at Cienfue-
gos and that no information to the con-
trary had been conveyed to Commodore
Schley until the arrival Of Capt, McCalla
on May "a: that it was Commodore Schley's
expectation to meet the Spaniards in the
open sea, and his constant care was to
have coal enough for such emergency.
Just before the schley court Of inquiry
took a recess for lunch Mr. Hanna asked
Capt. Cook: what was the conduct and
bearing of Commodore Schley under fire
on such occasion as YOU had the opportu-
nifty of observing?" .,r.. ,.<.~E~ -.-

of Admirnl's Conduct

oA AAaSA ~ AHt@ o1ACeE Ol JTOOklyn TELLS
of Admirn1's Conduct.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Only one new wit
ness was heard in detail by the schley
court of inquiry Tuesday. This was Lieut..
Commander James H. Sears, who was ADJ
miral Schleys flag lieutenant during the
Spanish war. He gave a detailed account
OF the entire Cuban campaign, including
the brief siege of Cienfuegos, the retro
grade movement of the flying Nsquadron
In search of coal, the blockade Of Santiago.
the reconnaissance of the Santiago shore
batteries and the bombardment of the
Cristobal Colon May 81, and the battle off
Santiago July 3, when Cervera's fleet was
destroyed. He placed the distance out of
the blockading line at Cienfuegos at from
one to four miles, and at Santiago at from
three to six miles. He expressed the opin-
ion that in the battle Of July it had been
the Viscaya's intention to ram the Brook
Ign.
said he had been with Commodore Schley
IN five engagements, all told. He was then
asked as to the bearing Of that officer ua-
der fire, and replied:
His bearing to me was a model for any
body. worthy of emulation at all times I'm
der fire his faculties, If it was possible,
seemed to be clearer and more in possess
sion Of them than at any other time He
was not excited in the slightest degree, and
was absolutely cool and calm. He was
always putting himself in exposed posi-
tons. I requested him many times not
to expose himself, as it was useless to
do 500
Capt. Cook was recalled during the dav
and in response to a question by Capt.
Lemly made an additional statement con-
corning the retrograde movement of the
flying squadron May &c to May 2S He also
said in answer to a question by the court
that Commodore Schley during the battle
of July was "cool, brave and enthusia st ic
cannot imagine any conduct in battle
more admirable
Mr.. Rayner sought to secure the intro
duction of a brief report of the battle of
July 8, which Commodore Schley prepared
for transmission to the secretary Of the
navy. 1t was stated that Commander
Sears had taken this dispatch ashore to be
cabled to the secretary, but that it never
had reached that official The dispatch was
ruled out on the ground that as it was not
received it was not an official communica-
ton.
Admiral Schley thinks it quite probable
that the presentation Of the testimony in
his behalf can be completed this week and
next. He will be the last Of the witnesses
to be heard, and when he goes on will make
review of the entire campaign, covering
the points in controversy.
