TELLS OF PROHIBITED DEGREES

The Rev. DR.. Davenport Of Tennessee ex-
plained for the enlightenment of the Rev DR..
Spalding of Alabama to the omission in
the report of table of prohibited degrees, say
ing that the subcommittee in their report to
the Joint committee left out that question en-
tirely, while the report which DR.. Spalding
had in his hand and which contained the table
of prohibited degrees originally reported by
a committee of this house.
That subcommittee report was presented on
Monday evening at o'clock to the joint ses-
sion of the two committees that of the Bishops
and the deputies. That being done, the Bishops

the marriage, and, If practicable. by the mar
ried parties and at least two witnesses Of the
marriage.
80 No minister shall solemnize marriage
between any two persons unless until by
inquiry, he shall have satisfied himself that
neither person is the husband or the wife Of
any other person then living or has been the
husband the wife of any other person then
living, unless the former marriage was an
nulled by decree of some civil court of COM
petent jurisdiction for cause existing before
such former marriage"
Deputy Lewis of Pennsylvania then moved
the adoption of section l of the proposed canon.
Deputy Bassett Of Rhode Island thought that
sections l and were unnecessary. They simply
defined what marriage was under the laws of
the church, and that explanation could be
found in the prayer book.

Business Affairs.

Dun In his review of last week notes
that railway stocks fell sharply, vet full
returns for November show that earnings
were ll.5 per cent greater than in the
same month last year, and 1871 per cent
over those of 1899 Industrial and trac-
ton shares were even more violently
disturbed, yet the manufacturing plants
OF the nation were never more fully oc-
cupied. Numerous labor controversies
have been settled, and the rate of wages
Is at the highest point ever attained.
Retail distribution was of massive pro.
portions, with dealings in holiday goods
the conspicuous feature. Records of
clearngs, express the situation with
exactness. The volume of trading in
securities is practically the same as a
year ago, bnt exchanges through the
banks at New York for the week were
203 per cent larger than year ago,
and $50 per cent greater than in 1899,
while at other leading cities the incl eases
were l7.3 per cent over 1900 ana 1873
per cent over 1899.
The iron manufacturing business is In
very healthy condition. Most steel
mills will have their product engaged well
into next year. Scarcity of cars has had
the { fleet to retard receipts of ore and
coke and the moving of pig iron from the
yards. A material decrease in the out
put of furnaces was expected but the

On account of hard travelling, country

The demand is fully up to the average

A Somerset Case.

Clerk of Courts Seekins has received
the following decision in case in thi
county from the law court:
Eastman Hathorn VS.. John Robinson
and Sylvester j. Walton, trustee. Re
script by Wiswell. c. j.
The statute OF 1897, e. 800, paragraph
IA, relating to fraternal beneficiary
organizations, provides that: "Tht
money or other benefit, charity, relief OF
aid to be paid, provided or rendered by
any corporation, association or society
authorized to do business under this act
and as herein provided, shall not bt
liable to attachment by trustee, or othel
process, and shall not be seized, taken OF
appropriated or applied by any legal Oh
equitable process, nor operation by law
to pay any debt or liability Of a certifi
cate holder, or any beneficiary thereof
Held =
l That under this statute money re
eeived by beneficiary from such organ
izatiOn does not continue TO be eXemp
any longer from attachment, or seizur,
upon execution, after it has come int,
his possession.
The statute gives protection anC
exemption only to money to be paid
and hot to money paid and in a debtor,
possession.
3 The trainers of the statute may wei
be presumed to have had good reason t.
know the probable construction of tht
statute, since they followed the language
OF another statute similar in effect tina
had been long before passed upon by tn
court, and in which it denied debtor
claim OF exemption of pension money
after the money had actually gone int
the possession of the pensioner.

further about the alleged development.
In the Terrio case.
He had AN interview with Henrq
Forsythe, the man named In the Nc.
lntosh letters touching upon the Terrio
case.
Forsythe denies that he ever told Nc.

ter OF fact he knew nothing whatever Of
the murder Of Pare until he returned to

but did not tell him anything about be-
ing on the Misery. He never was at

Forsythe says he was in Berlin about
the last of March. He told of his where

One phase of the new subsidy bill which
is of great interest to Massachusetts but
the subject of unjust criticism in other
quarters is the bounty provision for deep.
sea fishermen. The Philadelphia legisla.
ture, for example, asks why the cod
fishermen of Gloucester, Mass, should
receive favors not extended to the shad
fishermen of Gloucester, n. j. There
are many reasons; from the early DAYS
of the republic, deep sea fishermen have
been regarded as a nursery OF the mer
chant marine, while no pretence has beer
made that pulling shad into small boat
of the South Atlantic was even kinder
garten for the ocean service. Othel
nations pay bountes on deep sea fishing
and on that account it is necessary fol
US to pay them, so the friends OF the bill
maintain, in order to equalze the oppor
tunity of our own people.

The Findings,

AS we view the report Of the Naval
Court on the Schley Inquiry the court as
q whole say: First that Schley should
have proceeded with the utmost dispatch
to Cienfuegos and should have maintain
ed close blockade of that port. In his
individual opinion Dewey says that the
passage from Key West to Cienfuegos
was made with all possible dispatch hav-
ing in view the importance Of arriving
there with as much coal as possible Ia
the ships bunkers, and the blockade at
Cienfuegos was effective.
Second, Schley should have proceeded
from Cienfuegos to Santiago with all
possible dispatch, disposed OF his vessels
with view of intercepting the enemy
and should not have waited for the Eagle.
Dewey says that Schley's passage to a
point % miles south of Santiago WAS
made with as much dispatch as was pos
sble, keeping the squadron q unit. aud
the blockade at Santiago was effective.
Third, the report states that Schley
should not have made the retrograde
movement, he should have promptly
obeyed the Navy Department order of
May %, he should have endeavored to
have captured or destroyed the Colon on
May 30 and 30, he did not do his utmost
to capture the Colon and other Spanish
vessels which he attacked, May 81. Ad-
mira Dewey makes no individual dis
claimer as to these charges and thus they
must inferentially have his sanction.
The report also mildly criticizes the
"Loop", states that Admiral Sehley did
injustice to Commander Hodsdon, that
his conduct in connection with the events
of the Santiago campaign prior to June
l, 1898, was characterized by vacilla-
ton, dilatoriness, and lack of enterprise
and that his official report regarding the
coal supply and the coaling facilities OF
the squadron were inaccurate and mis-
leading. In his individual report Admra
Dewey makes no mention of these
charges.
The three members of the court con.
eur in the closing statement: His con-
duct during the battle of July was
self-possessed and he encouraged in his
own person his subordinate officers anC
men to fight courageously", and Admiral
Dewey volunteers the statement that
Commodore Schley was the senior officer
in command when the Spanish fleet at
tempted to escape and is entitled to the
credit due to such commanding officer
for the glorious victory. The question
of who was in command at that time was
not submitted to the court and the othel
members have nothing to say about it
The gain to Sehley the Navy or the
Navy Department by this investigation
has not been at all commensurate with th,
outlay or the agitation that it has caused
In the country. The crack Drained his
torian McClay precipitated it and he hal

strong sentiment that Lambert should
not have another trial and that The

No expense was spared during thu

possible bit Of evidence in his favor WAS
secured While this trial is estimated t.

ors fee that anything had been left IN

In THE COURTS. In the U. S. district
court at Portland $500 was awarded the
their suit for demurrage against the Maine
Central railroad. In the same court Ed
ward Pattangall, formerly master of the
schooner Star of the Sea of this, and other
minority owners, brought action against
Crowell & Thurlow of this city, managing
owners of the vessel, to restrain them from
allowing the vessel to proceed on what they
alleged was hazardous voyage to Martini
que, without giving bonds for her safe re-
turn. The court ordered that bond for
$1,000 be given and also that the minority
owners should not participate in the profits
of the trip. The bond calls for the
safe return of the schooner within six
months. A satisfactory bond was given
and the sch. cleared Nov. for Martinique.
Capt. Pattangall has been superseded in
command of the vessel by Capt. Qunlan,
formerly in the schooner Robert Graham
Dun... The owners of the schooner Au-
gustus Hunt have brought suit against the
Maine Central R. R. at Portland to recover
the sum of $500, which they claim they are
entitled to for demurrage The schooner
carried cargo Of 1850 tons of coal from
Philadelphia to the railway company, and
the compliments allege that the charter
was not lived up to and other schooners
were permitted to discharge ahead of the
