ANTE-NUPTlAL REASONS.
Episcopalians Forbid Divorce Except
for Cause Existing Before
Marriage.

San Francisco, Oct. 9-The action
Of the greatest importance taken to-
day by the triennial Episcopal con
vcntion was the adoption by the
house of bishops, by a vote of 81 to
q, of canon Sc, which relates to the
SuiemniZation of marriage. All OF
it's provisions had previously been
argued except those contained in sec
ton A, which forbade the marriage
OF persons divorced for any cause
not existing before marriage.
For any cause not existing before
marriage" is understood to refer to
such causes as insanity, inability to
execute a contract, the existence of a
living husband or wife, or like rea-
sons which practically render the
the marriage void and null.
This section has been a bone of
contention; strong element in the
church holding that the re-marriage
of the innocent party to a divorce
granted upon the ground of infidelity
should not be forbidden. The bishops
have refused to accept this view of
the matter.
bsossa kyianoSguu sh rlrd rdluuu
tied, as the whole subject is to come
up in the house of deputies where
it is expected to cause protracted
debate. The canon as finally passed
by the house of bishops, reads:
Canon 36.-Of the Solemnization
of Matrimony.-The solemnization of
matrimony in this church. in which
the mutual consent of each party en-
tering into this state of life is given
in the presence of minister, who
having pronounced. in the name OF
the Holy Trinity, to be man and wife
invokes the divine blessing upon
their uunion.
"lI.-The requirements of the laws
of the state regarding the condition
for all the civil contract of marriage
shall in all cases De carefully observ
ed before he marriage is solemnized
'IIT.-No minister shall solemnize
the marriage of any person who is 6
minor under the law of the place o.
marriage, unless the parent or guar
dian of such minor is present an(
consenting, or shall have given writ
ten consent to the marriage or is per
manently resident in a foreign coun
try. No minister shall solemnize {
marriage except in the presence of a
least two witnesses, the minister Of

the witnesses being personally ac-
quainted with the parties. Every
minister shall. without delay, formal
ly record in the proper register the
name, age and residence of each
party. Such record shall be used by
the minister who performs the cer-
emony and. if practicable by The mar
ried parties, and by at least two wit
nesses of the marriage.
'IV.-NO minister shall sOlemniZe
marriage between any two persons
unless he knows or until by inquiry
he shall have satisfied himself that
neither person has been or is the
husband or the wife of any other per-
son then living, unless the former
marriage was annulled by a decree of
some civil court of competent juris-
marriage"
The bishops have yet to consider
canon 81, providing for the discipline
of persons marrying after having
been divorced. This will also cause
lively discussion.
Another important feature of the
work of the house Of bishops today
was the appointment of committee
of five to act with similar committees
to the priests and laymen. constitut-
ing a joint committee of Is, in con-
sidering the proposed change in the
name of the church. The committee
has no power to act, but is to re-
port it's findings at the next general
convention to be held in Boston in
1904.
1ne house of deputies adopted the
report of The joint committee on mar
ginal readings, after agreeing to an
amendment eliminating those read

Minister had not returned this morning
from his trip to Montclair, n. j., and the
officials of the Chimes. Legation had re-
ceived no information concerning the re-
norted selection of a new emperor or OF
the reply said to have been made by the
Chinese ENJOYS on the demands OF the
MOVERS The State Department is also
uninformed on the reported change OF
emDerors and in view of the silence or
the ministers the report is received win
considerable skepticism. The Chinese OIL
ficial5 are unacquainted with the lineage
Of the youth said to have been CHOSEN
by the Empress DOwager for the throne.
Ii IS recognized by the officials here as
a perfectly natural course on the part OF
the Chinese Government to ask for eX-
plantations Of the important points IN the
aoreement reached by the Ministers at
Pekin So they are not surprised to hear
now that before blindly accepting the
agreement binding upon it, the Chiense
court wishes for some definite statement
as to what Chinese cities are to be occu-
pied how long the occupation is to con-
tinue whether it is an absolute condition
that the Princes are to be beheaded and
whether the Taku torts are to be RACED
or whether dismantlement Will not sui
fee. Our Government does not desire
the absolute demolition Of the Taku forts ;,
it will suffice for our purposes, having
in mind a temporary stay in China, that
they should be rendered harmless by dis
rantlement to prevent the ready access
to the Chinese capital Of any force which
it might be necessary to send from Eu-
rope and America in the improbable event
that the Chinese Government fails to live
