IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN
BY EPISCOPAL CONVENTION

The house Of bishops created the mis-
| SiOnary district of Honolulu, to take
effect April 1, 1902.
Consent was given the hGese of dep
uties concurring, for the election of a
missionary bishop for the district dur
ing the interval between this session
and the next general convention.
Resolutions were passed recognizing
the difficulties under which Bishop
Willis has labored and the good work
he has done for many years, and giving
him an honorary seat in the house Of
bishops.
The house of bishops toolaSup the re-
port of the joint committee ON revising
the canons. 1t was decided to limit the
time for the election of a bishop to
three months. If the dioceses voting.
are not heard from in that time the re-
suit is to be announced.
The next decision reached &as that
if a missionary bishop becomes perma-
nently disabled, his position may be
declared vacant.
1t was agreed that before n bishop
for foreign country is chosen the
bishops must have evidence that he
has been duly elected and will follow a
form of worship in accordance with es
tablished usage.
In case of disagreement between
bishop and parish it was voted that
in the future Il council of Cancellation
may be called by the bishop.
1t was provided that when n bishop
resigns between sessions of the gener-
al convention the house of bishops shall
meet as a house, to consider the resig-
nation.
The bishops adopted n canon proyid-
ing that no woman can be formally set
apart as a deaconess until she has at
tained the age of twenty years, and de-
claring that marriage rendered her pO-
sition vacant.
The house of bishops agreed to con-
ference report on marginal readings,
already accepted by the house of depu-
ties, and also to the Mckinley memorial
resolutions.
The following amendment to article
10 of the constitution was adopted by
the house of bishops:
Provided that nothing in this arti-
Gle shall be construed as restricting
the authority of the bishops of the
church to take such action as may be
provided by the rubrics of the Book of
Common Prayer and by the canons of
the general convention for the use of
special forms of Worship
This is intended to apply especially
in cases of Swedish congregations in
the Northwest.
The bishops having declined to di-
vide the diOceses of Springfield and
Kansas, it was agreed to appeal for
the application of more funds from gen.
eral appropriation for missionary work
in these places, and also to ask for spe-
Cal concessions.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The house
of deputies of the Episcopal Church OF
America, sitting as committee of the
whole, on Monday adopted the propos-
ed canon prohibiting the remarriage of
divorced persons fOf causes not arising
previous to their former marriage.
The canon was adopted just as it came
from the house Of bishops. The vote
stood 1872 for, 15S against.
The amendment of DIR. Huntington
of New York making an exception in
the case of the innocent party to q di-
vOrce granted on the ground of adult
cry, was rejected by vote of 15S to
173.
When the committee rose and report
ed its work to the house and decisive
vote was taken not only on the trou-
blesOme fourth section, but on the en-
tire canon which was reported as a
whole, canon thirty-seven, which pro-
vides for the disciplining of persons
marrying again after being divorced,
met with a similar fate.
A vote on the adoption of the first
three sections of canon thirty-six on
the solemniZation of matrimony were
carried by a large majority.
A vote by orders and dioceses was
then taken on section four of the pro-
posed canon which forbids the remar-
riage of persons divorced for any
cause not existing before their former
marriage. This action was defeated
by a small majority.
A motion was then made to reconsid-
er the vote by which the first three
sections of the proposed canon had
been adopted. This led to a parlia-
mentary tangle, causing considerable
discussion.
The result was the defeat of the
whole canon.
The substitute for canon thirty-seven
presented by the house of bishops. re-
ferring to the remarriage of persons
marrying again after being divorced,
was taken up and defeated by viva
voce vote.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment to article 10 of the consti-
tuition permitting modified forms of
worship which in spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment re-
Gently defeated. The amendment
adopted, though credited to DIR. McKim
of Washington, was in reality present
ed to the convention of three years ago
by Dr. Huntington.
The election resulted in the choice of
the following:
Rev. James Addison Ingle, district
of Hankow; Rev. Charles II. Brent,
district of the Philippines; Rev. Fred
erick William Keator, district of Olym-
pja; Rev. William Cabell Brown, dis
trict Of Porto Rico.
The only nomination rejected was
that Of Rev. Charles Campbell Pierce,
to be missionary bishop of North Da-
kota.

LEADING ANARCHIST
SENTENCED TO PRISON

New York, Oct. 16.-Johann Most.

year in the penitentiary Monday in the
Court of Special Sessions. for publish
ing in his paper, the Freiheit. an al
legged seditiOus article on the day fol-
lowing the shooting of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley.
The article in question was entitled
Murder Against Murder" In his de-
fense Herr Most claimed that the pa
per containing the article was printed
and ready for distribution before the
President was shot. Also that 1t was
n quotation from an article published
After imposing the sentence Justice
Hinsdale read the opinion of the court,
in which he said:
1T Is no answer to the criminal ma
ture Of this article to claim that 1t was
written for the purpose OF destroying
crowned heads. 1t inculcates and en-
forces the idea that murder is the prop
er remedy to be applied against rulers.
The fact that 1t was published fifty
years ago and again republished about
fifteen years ago only emphasizes and
gives added point to the crlminality OF
the republishlng of 1t at any time. 1t
shows deliberate intent to inculcate
and promulgate the doctrines of the ar-
ticle. This We hold to be a criminal
act. 1t Is not necessary to trace any
connection In this article with the as
sassination OF the late President. The
ofrense here. In the eyes OF the law, Is
precisely the same as II the bloody
event had never occurred. The murder
OF the President only serves to illus
trate and illuminate the enormity Of
the crime OF the defendant In teaching
his diabollcal doctrine"

never reached the condemned man.

veteran journalists and competent

others in similar ventures, possessed
the sound sense to recognize their de-

be because the one SO defeated possesses
