 ernl Committee to Consider Whole
 Question and Report at Next Gem
 eraI Convention.
 Boston, Oct. 1.-The divorce issue again came before the Episcopal gen eraI convention to-day, but no final ac- ton was taken on several resolutions referring to the subjects which were presented.

DTS. J. Lewis Parks and w. R. Huntington, both of New York, immediately set the parliamen- tary machinery in motion to defeat or at least sidetrack the bishops resolu- lions. After a brief but spirited skir- mish. the matter was referred to the committee on canons. from which it can be called at any time.
 During the forenoon several resolu- tions a stricter canon marriage and divorce were referred to committee.
 The divorce matter again came to the fore through a resolution of George Foster Peabody of Brooklyn, calling for the appointment; of twelve mem bers for both houses to consider the entire question and report to the next ] general convention. The committee is to confer with other religious bodies as l to some uniform standard of legisla- tion bearing on marriage and divorce. ! It was referred to the committee on 1 canors.
 l A joint commission, appointed three l years ago, presented an extended re- port recommending that all dioceses and missionary districts be grouped into seven provinces, each province to have authority to legislate on matters l which do not conflict with the general 3 convention. Each province is to elect < a primate to preside over it. The re- l port will be acted upon later.

FALLING OFF AT HARVARD.
Total Decrease in Enrollment from Last
 Year 20S.

% 5 5
 Cambridge, Mass Oct. 1S.A general falling off from the attendance of last year is shown by the official enrolment figures for Harvard university which were made public to-day. With the ex- ception of the law school and the Bus sey institution, a loss appears in every department. The authorities are un- able to account fully for the uniform decrease in numbers but suppose that it is due to some extent to the increasing rivalry of western institutions. The to- tai decrease from last year is 205.
 Business conditions, the raising of re- quirements in some departments and the application of new standards in others may, it is believed, also partially explain the decrease.
