DEPUTIES ARE CRITICAL
CHANGING LANGUAGE OF III CANON
ON M~ATRIMONY.
Little Made Yesterday by the
Episcopal COnventiOn-Mission
Board officers

SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 10.-The Triennial
Convention of the. Episcopal Church of
America accomplished much routine work
to-day. but made little progress toward
disposing of the canon on marriage and di-
vorce. which came up in committee of
the whole in the House of Deputies. The
popular interest in the subject was evil
denced by the crowded galleries, a large
majority of the spectators being women,
nearly all of whom remained until the hour
of adjournment. The discussion. however,
was of a purely technical character. There
seemed to be a determination to secure
technical correctness in the text. 1t was
also noticed that many lawyers in the lay
delegation were taking a keen interest in
the subject.
The fourth and most important section
of the canon which was adopted by the
bishops practically forbidding the marriage
Of divorced persons was not reached. The
first two sections and all but the last para
graph of Section 3 were adopted with but
one slight change, the conjunction moe
being stricken out, thus dividing the para
graph into two complete sentences. An at
tempt was made to have the matter dis
cussed behind closed doors, but the at
tempt failed.
That the spirit of the Huntington amend
ment to the constitution permitting modi-
fed forms of worship still lives despite de-
feat was shown by the presentation in the
House of Deputies this morning of a con-
stitutional amendment cOuched in almost
its exact LANGUAGE. The principal change
is the adoption of a resolution that no
form OF worship allowed shall be i'm con-
fict with the canons of the church. 1t
was referred to a committee. Rev. T..
Winchester Donald, of Massachusetts, who
presented the proposed amendment, created
quite a sensation by declaring that he did
not consider ordination necessary for a cele-
brant of holy communion.
The House of Bishops devoted most of the
day to consideration of the qualifications
OF the various persons who are DESTROYS of
hlling the vacant missionary bishopricS
OF the philippines, Porto Rico, Hankow,
North Dakota and Olympia. No names were
given out and the only action taken was
a decision to vote for the candidates to-
morrow. There was a missionary confer
ence tonight at Trinity Church. the ses-
sion being devoted especially to the work
In China and Japan. Addresses were de-
llvered by the bishops of Shanghai, Kyoto
and Toxic and Rev. DR.. Turnbull Hunt
ington, of Hankow
The church association for the advance-
ment of the interests of labor held a large
ly attended meeting tonight at the Alham-
bra Theater. The principal speaker was
Bishop Potter, of New York, who spoke
eloquently on the relations of capital and
labor and of the citizen TO the state.
Inc WOman'S auxiliary to the board of
missions listened to addresses to-day from
Bishops Horner, of AsheVille, Hart. of
South Dakota, and General Secretary
Lloyd, OF the missionary board.

Evangelical Church Council.

LIMA, o., Oct. 1o.-The Grand Council of
the Evangelical Church of North America
met here to-day IN biennial session. Several
hundred prominent dignitaries Of the
church are present from all parts of the
country. The biennial report of President
Ranseen was read this afternoon.
The election of officers resulted in the
unanimous reelection of President Ran
seen. and w. II. Stalk, of Philadelphia. was
elected treasurer for the twentieth success
sive time. The discussions were then taken
up, the chief in point of interest being i'm
the theme of Marriage in Its Relation to
Divorce" The position was taken that il
makes marriage indissOluble for life, di-
vOrce by divine authority being legitimate
only when the marriage covenant has been
broken either by husband or wife. The
decree of divorce only gives the right to
remarriage to the innocent party, who has
been released on scriptural grounds. Mar
riage by a Christian minister gives the ap-
prevail of the church TO the union, and,
therefore. cannot be performed by him in
a case where there is the least doubt.

partment has made public the annual re-
port OF Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
handing the Department of Cuba, for the
last fiscal year. A preceding report treated
of the civil administration of the island.
This report deals with military affairs en-
tirely. General Wood says the general con-
duct of the American troops in Cubs con-
tinues to be excellent. and, as heretofore,
complaints against them from civil author
tiles and individuals are extremely rare.
The total number of deaths of officers and
enlisted men during the year was sixty
seven, a percentage of less than 1.25. yell
low fever has now been almost driven from
the island, owing to the energetic war upon
the mosquitoes n the sanitary precau-

summer five officers of General Woods
staff were taken i'll with yellow fever and
three OF them died. Among the headquar-
tiers employees there were forty-eight VIC

pared TO say whether the situation war

lican party will undoubtedly make such
revision of the tariff as is needed when
the necessity and the duty becomes plain"

THE PRESIDENTS HORSES.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt Will Ride
Occasionally Together.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. President
Roosevelt has purchased three horses, a
landau, a brougham and a victoria. The
carriages and horses are expected to arrive
here early next week. They were obtained
in New York through the Presidents
brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson. The
President already has in the White House
stables a fine Kentucky thoroughbred sad
die horse. which he purchased at Fort
Plain, KY, since he became President, and
Mrs. Roosevelt's saddle mare, Yaeganka, is
also here. The Presidents saddle horse is
called Bleistein, and he is said to be a fine
animal, gated and a jumper. 1t is the in
tention Of the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt TO ride occasionally together. Con-
trary TO the popular impression, the horses
owned by the government which are in the
White House stables are seldom used by
the President. The chief magistrate has
his own horses and carriages and the gov
eminent horses are used by the secretary
to the President and other White House
officials. All the horses and carriages be-
longing to the late President have been
sent back TO canton.
