Newfoundland Feels Hurt at
British Inattention.
OFFICIALS IGNORED BY CHAMBERLAIN
No Answer From Imperial GOvern-
0ent to Dispatches Sent Many
Months AEO-A Crisis Now
Seems Imminent

LONDON, Oct. 1G.-AccOr,ling to dis
patches published today by The Daily
Mall. = crisis Is imminent in New
fouudland unless the British govern"
ment pays more attention TO the de-
Mands Of the colony than has hitherto
been the case.
long special from st. Johns says:
"Since Mr.. Bond, the Newfoundland
premier, left England last April he has
not received single word from the I'M
perial government regarding Il settle
ment of the French shore question, nor
las Mr.. Chamberlain ever answered
the dispatch from the Newfoundland
government sent five months ago tirg-
ing the imperial authorities to persuade
Sir Wilfrid Lauricr the Dominion pre-
mier. to agree to a ratification Of the
fond Blaine convention"
The dispatch gives details of tho re-
T. ut Bond-Laurrr conference and as
SertS that the Dominion premier based
his refusal to agree to ratification on
I q ground that the joint high com
mission had discussed the matter and
|. it. all being well, the commission
a,lld discuss 1t again.
IN an editorial taking the govern
Mcilt severely TO task The Daily Mail
Eay.;:
"Assurcdly this Is not the way In
Which to treat II loyal colony. 1t is
not business. and 1t is not courtesy.
Tan 1t be that the abscntmin;!rd meth
DDS of our war office have affected the
great department Of state which Mr..
Chamberlain has hitherto controlled so
well?
'1he colony has been cxnspcrnt"d in
the past by the diSdninful careless
ness with which its interests have been
treated by the predecessors Of Mr..
Chamberlain, and its temper Is likely
to be strained if ii should believe that.
after so many sacrifices, it is being
neglected. In such Il frame OF mind Il
conflict with the French on the New
fOundland treaty shore could be only
too probable. with consequences that
Gun scarcely be forcseen."

MARRIAGE QUESTION SETTLED.
Episcopal Church Rejects Proposed
CAnons With Regard to Divorces.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-The
troublesome question of marriage and
divorce has been set at rest for another
three years by the action Of the house
Of deputies of the hennial Episcopal
convention In rejecting both of the pro-
posed canons on the subject which
were passed by the house Of bishops.
The greatest fight Of the convention
has been over section Of canon 3G,
virtually forbi,lding 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 by
the house of deputies.
When the committee rose and report
ed its work to the house, a decisive
vote was taken, not only on the tron-
bleSome fourth section. but on the en-
tire canon, which was rejected as
whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the dis
ciplinng of persons marrying again
after being divorced, met with Il SINH
lar fate.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment TO article 10 of the consti-
tuition permitting modified forms of
worship which in spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment re-
Gently defeated. The amendment.
though credited TO DR.. McKim Of
Washington. was in reality presented
to the convention Of three years ago
by DR.. 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 la
Dor which Is to investigate the subject
with view to the peaceful settlement
of disngreemenis between employers
and worklngmen and report to each
general convention.

the finest residences, the banks and
churches. 1t is urgent that the debris
be cleared away, and Jacksonville her
self has raised $50, 600, out of which,
however, $4,000 is for yellow fever

three weeks is ready, but more money
is needed to pay the Workmcn, who are

are holding back operations principally
because all records of ownership were
destroyed. Thus far Jacksonville has

not borrow money because her bonded
