THE MARRIAGE CANON.
Its Consideration Is stiII Occupying
the Time of the Episcopal
Convention.

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The ques-
ton of marriage and divorce was be-
fore both houses of the triennial con-
vention of the Episcopal Church of
America Friday. The bishops adopt
ed a substitute for the proposed
canon 81, providing for the discipline
of persons marrying again after be-
ing divorced. The principal change
made by the substitutes the provi-
sion that such person may receive
the sacrament on the written con-
sent of bishop. The house of depu-
ties began the eagerly awaited de-
bate on section four of the proposed
canon Sc, which virtually prohibits
the remarriage in the church of di-
vorced persons. The discussion will
be continued on Monday. The only
vote reached during the day was on
a proposed modification of DR.. Hunt
ingtOn's amendment providing for de-
termining the cause of divorce in
the case of divorced person apply
ing to be married. This was de-
feated.

lombian liberals il relatively about as i'm
portant as the taking of Western village
by party OF cowboys. Colon is a town Of
about 5000 inhabitants. The invading
army numbered about 160 men, who, but
for their determination to go through the
forms OF an assault, might apparently have
alighted unopposed at the central railroad
station and demanded the surrender of the
defenceless town. TIE capture of the city
under these circumstances is an incident OF
little importance even iu the Colombian
civil war. AS for wider international CON-
plications, or such obstruction OF traffic on
the Isthmus as would justify our forcible
Intervention, there is no likelihood Of any
such contingency arising. The landing of
few marines from the Machias was an
obvious measure Of precautioD, and that ouly.

cannot believe that the revoutioniSts will
appear as Instructors of traffic. The whole
affair, had it occurred elsewhere than on
the Isthmus, would hardly have received
greater attention than it would deserve as
minor move in the continuous game Of
Revolution at which the Colombian parties
have for some months been playing.

President Roosevelt has taken out what

that in making civil appointments in the in !.

The belief that the insular possessions
Were to be chiefly used as breeding grounds
for party spolls and political scandal, or as
dumping grounds for superannuated party
heelers who could not be employed in the
home civil service, WAS one of the favorable
bobgoblins of the anti imperialists. Much
of their literature was devoted to picturng
the diretul possibilities of transplanting our

creating in them places for the despoilment
of the natives by politicians.
