The State Legislature in making
the appropriation for the Farm
ington asylum, expressed its dis
satisfaction with the extravagances
of the old board and specified that
the appropriation should he spent
by new board. Very apparently
the same influence that named the
old board has named the new one,

The new Board of Commission
ers for the Pennington Asylum
are iunkcting over the east, osten-
sibly to examine eastern asylums
and get some ideas, but in reality
just to have Il time at the expense
of the peoples money. The asy-

and receiving patients ere this.

Just why the entire building

QUESTION OF DIVORCE

Will Be Debated at Length by Trien.
nial Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The attitude
of the Protestant Episcopal church in
America toward divorce and the remar-
riage OF divorced persons is sure TO give
rise TO much debate during the present
general convention. 4 majority report,
prepared by some of the most learned
bishops, clerical and lay deputies, will
come up Tor action, recommending that
the church adopt canon IA, preventing
a minister of the church from solemniz
ing a marriage between any two per,
sons unless, or until by inquiry, he shall
have satisfied himself that neither per-
son has been or is the husband or the
wife OF any other person then living.
ThIsis a sweeping law, not recogniz-
ing even infdelity as a cause for di-
vorce, and not permitting Episcopal
clergymen to solnemnize the marriage
OF an Innocent party in a divorce. The
action taken by the 'rigorisUs," as
those taking this extreme stand are
called, is based on the ground that the
church is called upon to register it's pro
test against the laxity on the subject Of
divorce that prevails in the United
States

Rumors That Edward Has Cancer Has

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The coincidence Of
the announcement Of King Edwards
indisposition with the publication of re-
viVed rumors regarding cancer in the
newspapers Of Copenhagen, from which
city his majesty has just returned, and
where secrets of the British court are
more likely to leak out than elsewhere,
is causing some cOmmotion here, and
the fact that the customary court circu-

papers adds to the uneasy feeling,
which is not allayed by the explanation
of the kings indisposiUion given by Sir
Francis Laking, his majesty's physi-
clan. Sir Francis is in no way spe~
cialist, and is paying merely social
visit at BalmoraL
A story is in circulation among the
clubs, purportiDg TO come from titled
member of the late Queen Victoria's

story and saying that court circles are
discussing the possibility of no corona"
tion taking place next year. It is i'm

corroborative evidence of this report

He had, however, not been informed of
any secret code for communication with
the Cuban insurgents near Oienfuegos.
He had, he said, taken dispatches for
Commodore Schley, and while not GER.
tain whether there was more than one
package, he was under the impression
there was more than that number. One
of the dispatches carried ut this time
was, the witness thought, that signed
by Secretary Long and dated Washing
ton, 1890 o'clock, May 30, and begin
ming:
1.-The report Of the Spanish feet being
at Santiago de Cuba might very well be
correct, so the department strongly ad-
vises that you send word Immediately
by the Iowa to Schley to proceed off
Santiago with his whole command,
leaving one vessel off Cienfuegos."
Concerning Coaling.
Captain Rodgers was examined at
length concerning the coaling Of the
flying squadron
could you have coaled the Iowa on
the afternoon of May 26?' Mr.. Hanna
asked.
I'm the late afternoon, the time /
speak OF, the weather being fine and the
sea smooth, there would have been no
trouble at all, - replied the witness.
"When the collier can deliver coal
can battleship like the Iowa take it?"
"With ship like the Iowa with no
broad side guns the danger in coaling
at sea is entirely to the collier"
''ls there any more danger to a col
ller with baUtleship on either side?"
0Wn xETnJr n 1o ~
to collier in coaling batUleships with
battleship on either side"
Captain Rodgers related two or three
instances in which the ships Of the fly
ing squadron were cleared for action on
signal from the flagship Brooklyn be.
fore May 81, when vessels were dis
cerned in the distance. In each case
the vessel proved 60 be American ships.
Each time the signal was to clear
for action and make speed Of 10 knots
an hour.
Tells of Bombardment.
He also told of the bombardment of
the Cristobal Colon. on May 81, in
which the Iowa participated. He said
the vessels were all in line and follow
ing the flagship, which in that instance
was the Massachusetts. The range was
at first given ar 1000 yards for this
shooting, but the shots fell so far short
that the range was increased to 1000
yards. These latter shots fell into the
channel in which the Colon lay. Some
of them must have fallen within 1850
yards of the Spanish ship.
Describing Commodore Schley's
blockade of the harbor at Santiago
Captain Rodgers said that the feet
maintained a position of Z or miles

the Marblshead was on the inside, from
the fact that some of the vessels in the

QUALITY TELLS THE STORY.
The Product of the Brookinss Roller
Mills Constantly Growing
in Favor.

When Geo. p. Sexauer, the present
popular proprietor, took charge of the
Brookings Roller Mills, the business
was at low ebb. The mill ran but
nine months in the year and its pro-
duct was unknown outside Of very
small circle. Mr.. Sexauer began over
hauling and exchanging the machin-
cry until he had secured the very best
equipment to be had anywhere. The
increase in business and favor has
been steadily growing each succeeding
year until at present two crews are
employed running the mill night and
day and the output is still growing.
Wherever the goods from the Brook
ings Roller Mills have been intro
duced they have gwen the best Of sat
isfaction. We need only mention one
instance of many which have come
under our observation. A gentleman
ordered two carloads Of flour from this
popular mill and was so highly pleased
with the satisfactory compliments
paid the flour by his patrons that
