DECISION ON DIVORCE.
Supreme Court Passes on the Validity
in One state of DEGREES Grant
ed i'm Other States.

Washington, April 16.-The United
States supreme court Monday decid-
ed number of cases involving the
validity in one state of divorce de-
crees granted in other states. The
court held practically that in cases
in which the decree is granted in
states where the husband and wife
have made their legal residence it is
valid in any part of the United States,
but that in other cases in which
there is no legal residence in the
state in which the decree is granted
they are invalid. The opinions were
handed down by Justice Gray and in
volved the cases of Atherton VS.. Ath-
erton, Bell VS.. Bell and Streilwolf VS..
Streilwolf. In the Atherton case the
husband obtained a decree of divorce
in the state of Kentucky where they
had resided as hus band and wife.
after the wife had left the husband
and gone to the home of her parents
in Clinton, N. Y. In his opinion JUS
tice Gray called attention to and laid
stress upon the fact that Kentucky
was the place of their marital resi-
dence and he also brought out the
fact that notice of the husbands pc
titiOn for divorce had been forwarded
to New York and that she had made
no response. The Kentucky court
thereupon had granted the decree.
The question involved, was, he said,
whether the decree was valid in New
York, the question having been raised
by counter proceeding of the wife
for divorce in New York. He con-
cluded that, owing to the fact of her
former residence in Kentucky, and
the fact that due notice had been
given her, Mrs. Anterior was as
much bound by the Kentucky decree
as if she had been present in the
court when it was granted. Hence
the decision of the New York SUI
preme court in favor of the wife and
against the validity of the Kentucky
decree was reversed.
The other two cases also came
from New York. In the Bell case the
question of the validity of decree
granted to the husband in Pennsyl-
vania was raised and in the Streilwolf
case the same question was raised
concerning a decree granted to the
husband in North Dakota. In both
these cases the DEGREES were held to
he invalid because neither the hus-
band nor the wife had domiciled in
the state in which the divorce was
granted.
therefore" said Justice Gray,
1.-THE DEGREES are not entitled to cred
it," In those cases the findings of
the New York courts were affirmed.
In the Atherton case Justice Peck
ham dissented upon the ground that
the husband had himself been re-
sponsible for the wife's change of
residence.

THE CANAL TREATY.
Proposal to Reopen Negotiations Not
FayorabIy Regarded by
Many Senators.

Washington, April 16.-Long inter-
views were had Monday between Sec
rotary Hay and Senator's Foraker and
Lodge, supposedly with reference to
the proposed isthmian canal treaty,
which is to replace the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty, If Secretary Hay succeeds
in his task of reconciling the views
of the senate and the administration.
The talks that the secretary of state
thus far has had with senator's on the
subject of canal treaty have revealed
a considerable opposition to any
treaty at all, some senators insisting
that nothing more Is requisite to the
construction of the canal than the abb
rogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty,
and it is still far from certain that a
treaty can be drafted that will COM
mand the support of two-thirds of the
senate and still be reasonably accepta-
BILE to Great Britain.

like my brother-in-law Joe to say that
farm burning is all right, but how can he
know about farms or farming? Who was
his father? He was little screw maker,
very respectable profession, but it does
not teach much about farms. 1t is no good
sending out screw-makers or anything Of
that sort. The war was not made for Eng
land, but for Johannesburg capitalists, who
could not speak English"
Mrs. Richard Chamberlain went to

which was waged at the outset of the

never experienced before, and it was

ury, even with the aid of Mr.. Glad
stones financial courage, was able to
obliterate the effects of the crisis.

Loss VIII BE Heavy-Zero
Weather Prevails.

Denver, Col, April 17.-Reports from
northern Colorado are to the effect
that another storm has prevailed on
the prairies for the past "a hours and
still continues. 1t began with misty
rain and developedintoa veritable bliz-
card. The loss of stock will be great,
as they have become greatly weak
ened by exposure to the storms of the
past two weeks and lack of sufficient
food. The snow is drifting badly and
railroad traffic Is being delayed. In
the vicinity of Denver and on the
plains the storm IL described as the
worst for years.
Cheyenne, Wyo.. April 17.-One Of
the worst storms in recent years has
been in progress here for the past 10
hours. Snow began to fall early Nom
day morning and several inches were
added to the large amount already on
the ground. The snow is light and a
high wind has drifted 1t badly. The
railroads are using their snow buck
ing machinery.
Three locomotives were demolished
in freight wreck at Borie, 20 miles
west of here, caused by two trains be-
ing unable to see each other on account
of the binding storm. Traffic was de-
layed five hours.
The live stock losses from this and
former storms are enormous. Re-
ports which have been lacking up to
this time show that thousands of cat
tie and sheep have been lost. One
ranch alone lost $500 head of cattle,
and another lost 5000 sheep. All the
small ranchmen in western Nebraska
and South Dakota and eastern Wyom-
ing have lost heavily. The temper
allure is now near zero.
