CANON on. MARRIAGE.
Important Action Taken At Episcopal
Convention RegardinE Divorces
g.. --HuntingtonA Amendment Lost.

San Francisco, Oct. 10.-The action
of greatest Importance taken Wednes-
day by the triennial Episcopal con-
vention was the adoption by. the
house of bishops, by a vote Of 81 to
21, OF canon. 3e, which relates to the
solemnizqtion of marriage. All of it's
provisions had previously been ar
gued except those contained in Sec
ton four, which forbade the mar
riage 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 contract, the existence of
a living wife or husband, or like rea-
sons, which practically render the
marriage null and void. This section
has been a bone of contention, a
strong element in the church holding
that the remarriage of the innocent
party TO a divorce granted on the
ground of infdelity should not be for
bldden. The bishops have refused to
accept this view of the matter.
The question is by no means set
tied, as the. whole subject is now to
come up in the house of deputies,
where it is expected to cause pro-
tracted debate. 1M Il.
Another important feature of the
work of the house of bishops Wednes-
day was the appointment of a COM
mittee of FIVE to act with similar
committees of priests and 1aymen,
constituting a joint committee of Is,
in considering the proposed change
in the name of the church. The COM
mittee has no power to act, but it is
to report its findings at the next
general convention, to be held in Bos-
ton in 1904.
Both houses unanimously selected
Boston as the place for holding the
next triennial convention.
San Francisco, Oct. 9.-The feature
of Tuesdays sessions of the triennial
Episcopal convention was the recon-
sidera ton and defeat of what is known
as the Huntington amendment to the
constitution, which was adopted by the
house of deputies Monday, providing
for the use of modified forms of wor-
ship by congregations willing to accept
the spiritual oversight of a bishop. An
error was discovered in recording the
vote of the Nebraska delegation. which
had been entered in favor of the amend
ment, whereas a poll of the members
showed that they were opposed to the
measure. This led to demand for a
reconsideration of Mondays vote. The
vote on reconsideration resulted as
follows: Aye-clerical, rs; lay, 1s. No
33; lay, ~. Divided-cler-
ical, 10; lay, 8. The united vote of 80
delegations of each order being re-
quired. the amendment was defeated.

Bids for the mechanical construction.
roofing and skylight work at the state
capitol were considered by the capitol
commission. On complete mechanical
construction the lowest bidders are w.

are also the only bidders who will fur
nish any articles of Minnesota manu-

terested in seeing the contract 20 to
them. The bid of Allan Black e. Co.
which on its face is about the same,
does not include Corliss engines, which
are specified. They add SO, 600 to their
figures for Corliss engines, which bring

The constantly growing Importance
of commerce on the Pacific is indicated
by the charting of ''lanes" for steam
ers crossing that ocean. Such lanes
have been established for great many
years between Europe and America
and have greatly diminished the risks
OF collision. There is still danger. how
ever, of collision of steamers with sail
ing ships, especially in the foggy re-
gion off the Newfoundland coast, but
such vessels generally kno " when they
are in one of the steamship lanes and
therefore take extra precautions to

NEW CANAL TREATY.
Great Britain Reported to Have
Agreed to It-ClaytOn-Bulwer
Pact Abrogated.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent of the
Record-Herald, telegraphs that paper
as follows, under date of October 6:
"The United States and Great Britain
have reached an agreement concern
ing the isthmian canal question, and
the new treaty will be presented to
the senate for it's ratification early in
the coming session. I am now able
to give the substance of this treaty.
It provides:
II. For abrogation of the old Clayton
Bulwer treaty in toto.
'2. For neutral isthmian canal. in case
one be constructed by the United States,
open in time of peace to the ships of all
nations upon equal terms.
g. This neutrality is guaranteed by the
United States alone, and other maritime
powers are not invited to participate in
such guarantee. Great Britain is inferen-
TALLY one of the guarantors, because she is
party to this treaty.
"A. In case of war the United States re-
serves the right to take such steps for it's
own protection as it may deem proper.
1T will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention and which led to it's
rejection by the senate. While the
principle of neutrality is asserted, the
United States alone guarantees that
neutrality, and no European powers
are invited to give their assent to it..
1t was this feature more than any
other which led to the defeat of the
former treaty. Many senators were
willing to join with Great Britain in
a guarantee of the neutrality of the
proposed new waterway, because
England already enjoyed certain
treaty rights upon the isthmus. But
they were decidedly unwilling to in
vite other European nations to give
their assent. Those nations had no
standing in the case, and it was
deemed most unwise to invite them
to participate in a purely American
affair with which they had no direct
concern.
'By the terms of the new treaty
the United States may, in time of
war, deal with the canal as it deems
best for it's own interests. It may
close the canal to the ships of its
enemies, and could, if it were thought
advisable (Which no one believes it
ever will beg, fortify the channel or
it's termini. In the broad sense the
isthmian waterway is to be 'all-
American The United States is to
build it and to have complete con-
troll of it, unhampered by onerous
restrictions"
