MOST SIGNIFICANT AND PRACTI
CAL HELD BY EPIsCoPALIANS.
Enthusiastic Appeal in Support OF
Sanctity and Indissolubiity OF
the Marriage Tie.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BOSTON, Mass, October 1O.-The order
of the day for Monday was postponed 10
Tuesday. The subject Is marriage ana Oh
vorce and the committee on canons WISH
time to have their report printed. Iooay
the bishops Of Hereford and OF Ripon'
English prelates, were introduced. Inc
president, Rev. DR.. McKim. welcomed
them in his usual happy way. The bishops
responded In a modest way in talks full Oh
a Christian faith and love.
At o'clock Sunday the most significant
and practical meeting yet seen was held
The subject before the mass meeting was
the "Sanctity and Indissolubility OF the
Marriage Tie" BY 3 o'clock the large
Church of the Advent was full, about nifty
clergymen having seats in the chancel.
It was a most enthusiastic appeal In De-
half of the church refusing to solemnze
the marriage of divorced person, even
when denominated the innocent party.
The venerable Bishop Doane presided
and made the opening address. Blshop
Greer followed, and then Professor Webb
of Nashota Last was Chief Justice Stl-
ness of Rhode Island.
Bishop Doane plead for liberation and
patience in time of differing views. urg-
ing however that the church must speak
for the public good Bishop Greer's main
point was that as God had given himself to
His bride. the church. in an indlssoiubie
union. so were persons to regard mar
riage.
Professor Webb pointed how incompar-
ably superior Canada and England are in
their view and practice of the marriage re-
lation. Judge Stiness said he spoke only
as a citizen. While separation is often
necessary, the trouble comes when sepa-
rated party seeks remarriage. The evil as
at present prevailing is working untold
damage to children of divorced parents.
Much concern is felt to the action of the
church through this convention.

RESULT OF RECENT SEIZURE OF
THE STEAMER CALCHAS.
Owners Declare That They Will Garry
No More Mail to Japan Dur
ing the War.

Omcial notice was received by the Post
Omce Department today In telegram from
Dodwell & Company of Tacoma, Washing
ton, that they decline to carry the United
states mails during the remainder OF the
Husso-Japanese war. on account OF the
seizure of the mails on the steamer Cal
chas. which sailed from Tacoma early in
July. The Geographic notification protested
against the seizure as an outrage against
this country and asked what action prob
ably would be taken by the government.
Acting Postmaster General Wynne con-
suited the President regarding the matter.
The State Department probably will enter
into correspondence with the Russian gov
eminent to ascertain the facts in the lat
ter's possession.
The withdrawal Of the steamers operated
by the company win not cause any ma
terial difference In the dispatch of the mails
to the orient. Mails were dispatched by
them once month, and such mail as would
have been forwarded by them will be di-
verified to other lines. There will be six dis
patches of mails to the orient during Octo-
Der by other trans-Pacific lines. None OF
these companies is under contract
Following Is the telegram to the depart
ment:
Following cable just received from AL
fred Holt & Co. of Liverpool, owners of the
British steamer CalchaS, which vessel was
seized by the Russian Vladivostok squad
ron off the Japanese coast about July ~:
'Calchas release appealed against by Rus-
sian crown advocate because among mali
matter was financial information addressed
Japanese officials containing informat ton
of value to the enemy. We give dehnlt9
instructions to notify Post Office Depart
ment that we refuse to carry any mail Tor
Japan during the duration of the war Ihe
Calchas is one of the regular liners operat-
ing between Puget sound, London and LlV-

She was on her regular voyage and her
cargo contained no contraband. Understand
the Russian crown advocate bases his APP
peal against release on the fact that Unted
States mail carried by Calchas contained
informa ton for Japanese officials. Hope
United States will take immediate action
against confiscation or detention of Cal
chas on account of carrying the United
States mails. This is certainly an outrage
against the United States that should not
be allowed to pass. Please be notified that
during the duration of the war we must de-
cline to carry United States mails for
Japan. Kindly advise what action probably
be taken by department..
