ADOPTS MARRIAGE CANON.
Committee of Whole Defeats Hunt
inEton Amendment Excepting
Innocent Party to Divorce.

San Francisco, Oct. 15.-The house of
deputies of the Episcopal Church of
America, sitting as a committee of the
whole, on Monday adopted the pro-
posed canon prohibiting the remar-
riage of divorced persons for causes
not arising previous to their former
marriage. The canon was adopted just
a it came from the house of bishops.
The vote stood 1S2 for, 15S against.
The amendment of DR.. Huntington, of
New York, making an exception in the
case of the innocent party of divorce
granted on the ground of adultery,
was rejected by vote of 15S to 173.
The result of the vote in the commit
tee of the whole was reported to the
house of deputies, who will vote ON
the matter. The result, however, may
not be the same, for in the house the
vote of 80 delegations is required to
carry measure, the divided delega-
tions virtually counting among the
nays. No time was set for final vote
by the house, but it will presumably
be taken to-day.
Previous TO this action in committee
of the whole the house of deputies
adopted the resolutions presented by
DIR. McKim, of Washington, providing
for standing joint commission of
both houses to consider the relations
of labor and capital. 1t is to consist of
three bishops, the presbyters and three
laymen and shall report it's proceed
ings to each general convention.

AWFUL DEVASTATION.
Further Details of the Recent Flood
I'm Chinn-Villnges Swept Away
Thousands Drowned.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The navy de-
partment has received report from
the United States steamship Helena
regarding the devastation by flood of
the Yangtse valley above Marking,
China. The water reached the high
est in so years. The devastation was
widespread, the flood wiping out vii
lages and sweeping away the lightly
constructed farmhouses. The extern
sive crops of rice, corn and beans
have been too long covered by the
water to survive, scarcely any live
stock remains and famine stares the
people in the face. The loss of life
was very great, thousands being
drowned in the region just below
kiukiang and also on the north side
of the river. Kiukiang and Wuhu,
being treaty ports, information was
obtainable from the Europeans there,
but from many other Chinese cities
not open to foreign trade there has
been no estimate of the loss of life
nor to what extent the natives are
dependent on charity. Shanghai
newspapers say that the distress is
the worst that has occurred in half
a century. To add to the suffering
storm, the center of which passed
near Kiukiang on August 2, destroyed
great part of what remained of
the farmhouses and the rudely con-
structed platforms built above the
water and in the trees, by the peo-
pie. Riots and robberies prevail as
result of suffering from hunger.
The interests of the United States in
the region affected are centered in
the missions. and property belonging
to United States subjects is situated
mainly near the treaty ports.

When Count de Ia VaulX landed here

The passengers in the balloon even

ASSASSIN'S DAY OF DOOM.
Time for Eletrocution of CzoIsosx
Rapidly APPROACHING - He
Expresses No Fear.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. disappointment
ent Cornelius V. Collins will send
request to Secretary of State Hay to
designate an official representative Of
the government to be present at the
electrocution of Leon L. Czolgosz, the
murderer of President Mckinley.
Only 26 witnesses will be present in
the chamber of death when the SEN
tence is executed. Warden Mead, of
Auburn prison, has sent to Superin-
tendent Collins the requests he has
received for permission to attend the
electrocution, over 1000 in all. The
law will limit the number of wit
nesses and the superintendent will
decide who the witnesses shall be.
1t was stated at the state depart
ment of prisons that statements to
the effect that Czolgosz is in con-
tinuous state of collapse and that he
breaks down and weeps every time
anything is said to him concerning
the electrocution are false. Superin-
tendent Collins had talk with the
condemned man some days ago and
at that time he said he knew he had
to die. He expressed no fear as to
the electrocution, but said that he
would not care to go outside of the
prison, for he believed that the peo-
pie would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison
as well as large number of express
packages containing flowers and
fruit. The letters, flowers or fruit
have never reached the condemned
man. The flowers and fruit, it is
learned have been sent by Christian
societies, as have a number of let
ters consoling him in his last mo-
ments. Other letters have come from
cranks, who have written about the
species of torture to which they
would have put him if they had the
execution of justice in his case. 1t
is stated, however, that it would be
matter of surprise if the names of
| senders of fruit and flowers were
made public. The state prison de-
partment has pursued uniform pol
icy in regard to Czolgosz. An effort
has been made to prevent the muir
derer from gaining any notoriety
while awaiting death and to surround
him by as perfect an isolation from
the world as possible.

NO LACK OF HARMONY.
The Case was Remarkable in
that One Respect.
X RAYS WERE NOT USED.
There was Nothing TO Show that tho
Bullet was Doing Harm and the Ex-
element of the Operation Would
Have Injured the Patient.

New York, Oct. 16.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended President
Mckinley through the closing days of
his life have presented to The State
Medical society gathered here in
semi-annual session report covering
the medical and surgical history of
the case of the martyred statesman.
1t was signed by Drs. NJ. d. Mann,
Herman Mynter, Eugene Wasdin,
Charles G. Stockton, p. NJ. Rixey,
Roswell Park and Charles McBurney,
and was read by DIR. Mann, who dis
cussed the features as he proceeded.
DIR. Mann did not mention the oper-
alton, emitting that altogether. He
described the presidents symptoms
and treatment from day to day, go-
ing into the fullest details. In speak
ing of the bulletins issued DR.. Mann
said every one of them was absolute
ly true. None had been misleading
in any manner. He told of the pro-
gress of the patient from day to day
until the unfavorable turn, a very
sudden one, on the seventh day, and
he said he mentioned that to show
that the bulletins issued were true
and not misleading.

replied that there was nothing in the
condition of the patient to show that
the bullet was doing any harm and

isfy the curiosity of the physicians,
and the excitement attending the
operation would have been harmful
to the patient, so the doctors re-

DR.. Mann went on to say that at
no time whatever had there been the
slightest disagreement among the
physicians. He said that complete
harmony marked every bit of the
time they were in attendance on the
president. lHe said he had never
known of such complete harmony
among physicians in attendan on n

thing of the autopsy, but he described
the technical treatment of the presi-

DR.. Herman Mynter, colleague of
DIR. Mann in the presidents case, cor

spoke of the fine traits of the presi-
dent and of the remarkable exhibi-
tion of patience Mr.. Mckinley has dis
played. DR.. Mynter spoke very feel
ingly of the Christian charity of
President Mckinley toward the assas-
sin, and said the presidents manner
of bearing his trials was so impressive
