BISHOPS TAKE ACTION
On Divorce That Would Make Re-
marriage Very Uncommon
IL Generally Adopted.
DRAWS A LINE SHARP AND CLEAR
Any Mistake to Last a Lifetime
Change of Name Of the
Church..

san Francisco Oct. 10.-The action
OF greatest Importance taken yesterday
by the Episcopal general convention
was the adoption by the house of bish-
ops, by vote Of 81 to 21. of canon
So which relates 10 the solemnization
of marriage. All of its provisions had
previously been argued except those
contained in section 4. which forbade
the marriage of persons divorced for
any cause not existing before marriage.
For any cause not existing before
r'arriage'' is understood to refer to
such causes as insanity. inability to
execute contract. the existence of Il
living wife or husband or like reasons
which practically render the marriage
null and void
Question by no Means Settled.
This section has been bone of con
tention. a strong element in the church
holding that the re-marriage of the in
nocent party to divorce granted on
the ground of infidelity should not be
forbidden. The bishops have refused
to accept this view Of the matter. The
question is by no means settled. as the
whole subject is now to come up in
the house of deputies. where 1t is eX-
pected TO cause Il protracted debate.
Change OF Name OF the Church.
Another important feature of the
work of the house of bishops yesterday
WAS the appointment of a committee or
five to act with similar committees o.
priests and laymen, constituting a joint
committee of fifteen, in considering the
proposed change in the name of the
church. The committee has no power
to act. hut is TO osreporf its findings at
the next general convention, to be held
in Boston in 1904.
Regarding the Marginal Readings.
The house of deputies adopted the
report of the joint committee on mar
ginal readings. after agreeing to an
amendment eliminating those readings
which are original with the committee.
The vote on the main proposition as
amended was as follows: Clerical
Aye, %; nay, 6; divided. 1. Lay
Aye. ~; nay. 6: divided, .. The re-
port as amended will now go back to
the house of bishops for action On the
amendment. The house of deputies
will today take up the canon on mar
riage and divorce. Both houses unani-
mously selected Boston as the place
for holding the next triennial conveu
ton.
Reception to the Convention.
general reception TO the conven-
tion was given last night at the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art. 1t was
largely attended, and was one of the
most brilliant social functions ever
held In this city. The headquarters of
the women's auxiliary was thronged all

LOOKING FOR A CRASH
British Financier Who Thinks
Germany Will Experience
Money Panic.
MANY THINGS TROUBLING TRADE
And Contracting the Area of For-
eign commerce-cause of
Trouble Suggested.

London, Oct. 1O.-The- worst appre
tensions as to the state of industrial
affairs in Germany are felt among
English bankers and merchants. They
express the belief that the approach
ing Christmas season is likely to wit
ness the greatest financial crash in the
history of the fatherland. KenriC
Murray, secretary of the London
Chamber of Commerce, said yesterday:
Greatest Anxiety at Berlin.
Reports from Berlin indicate that
there is the greatest anxiety as to the
outcome of the present commercial de-
preston. The banks throughout the
empire are restricting their loans TO
the strictest limits. and some are even
contemplating the step of refusing to
lend money at all. Conservative Ger
man financiers are doubtful whether
any policy that they can adopt will en-
able the banks to meet the inevitable
run on them at the end of the year. If
they shall fail to do so industries III
every line are threatened with certain
collapse. and the extent of the disas-
ter it is impossible to foretell.
Outlook Very Unsatisfactory.
THE outlook of foreign trade in 9TH
er directions is exceedingly unsatisfac-
tory. Russia is suffering from a bad
harvest and Overproduction in its lines
OF manufactures. The emigration OF
aGriculturists TO Siberia gives strong
evidence of the poverty in the Euro
pean portion of the empire. Austria
Hungary is handicapped by the strife
among its various natiOnalities. Tur-
key is fast reaching the end of its teth-
er. apart from its troubles with France
and in the Persian gulf. The situation
in France is unpromising where the
crisis In the cotton and wooden trades
is not yet over. Scandinavia is all
right. but it is comparatively insig-
nificant.
Tariff Beginning to Have Eject.
''China and southwest Africa are suf-
fering from disturbances and wars.
AS n result of these conditions the
United States. Canada and Australia
alone afford thoroughly sound markets
for England's foreign trade at the
present time. The whole truth is. in
my opinion. that the world is begin
ming to feel the effects Of the tariff sys-
tens. which really mean that the .na-
tioDs have each been trying to liFe-off,

not possibly last"
