AS TO DIVORCES,
Only Urgent Cases Well Supported by
EVIDENCE to He COnsidered

Only Urgent Cases Well Supported by
Evidence to He Considered.
Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, who since the 4th
instant has been presiding in Equity Court
No. ., has announced that he will decline
to sign DEGREES granting divorces unless
each case presented for his consideration
is an urgent one, and the allegations set
forth are fully sustained by the evidence
submitted. Justice Bradley hopes to check
the filing in large numbers of petitions for
divorce, and in explanation of the stand he
has taken says:
1.-The family is the social unit. The NOR
ais of the community, the strength of the
nation, depend upon the unity and preser-
walton of the family. There is no doubt that
there has been an unusual run of divorce
suits before District courts. 1 firmly and
conscientiously believe the facts in every
instance should be thoroughly examined,
and regard 1t public duty to decline to
grant divorce unless circumstances war
rant the decree. l do not recall the exact
number of cases pending in Equity Court
No. 2 during the month, but only two in
stances were presented in which there ap-
peared to be sufficient ground for DEGREES in
favor of the petitioners. These l still have

For some time past he has been anxious to
get back to Iowa, but the opportunity has

that the foreign ministers have satisfac-

of the offending Chinese officials and a new

pass the negotiations into Mr.. Rockhill's
