Divorce CANON
IS VOTED VI D down "
va 49, t,-.r tffsgsf--
IMPORTANT ACTION Is TAKEN
BY THE EPISCOPAL CoNvEN-
F TON IN BOSTON.
Proposed Amendment Prohibiting Re.
marriage Of Divorced Persons Re.
ceives Severe Blow in the House
Of Deputies. @ 59gE !:

Boston. Oct. 15.-The house Of depu-
ties Of the Episcopal general conven-
ton, at the close Of four days de-
bate, on Friday rejected an amend
ment to the divorce canon. which
sought to prevent the remarriage Of
divorced persons by clergymen of the
denomination. While the house Of
bishops may yet act on the matter, It
is certain that no change will be made
by the present convention.
The present law of the church,
which has been in operation since 1859,
allows the remarriage Of the innocent
party to a divorce granted for infidel-
ity. At several conventions attempts
have been made to repeal this law,
and when a vote was taken Friday by
the house Of deputies sitting as a
committee Of the whole. on the ques-
ton Of reporting the proposed amend
ment to the house itself, the reformers
were successful by vote Of 214 to 191,
and this vote was regarded as repre-
senting the actual strength Of the con
tending forces. zlFfti
The final vote. however, was taken
by dioceses and orders, and where q
diocese was evenly divided In sentt-
ment its strength was counted in the
negative. The vote by dioceses was:
Clerical-For the amendment, 80;
against, 81; divided. 10. Lay vote
For. Is; against, "a; divided; 6. 1871.
i Practically the entire strength Of
the middle western states, the strong
hold OF the high church party, de-
clared for the. proposed reform. but
the Pacific states and a number of the
southern states voted against change
Of the present canon. The diocese Of
New. York opposed the amendment.
while. that of Pennsylvania favored 1t.
In New England, Vermont, New
Hampshire and western Massachusetts,
voted. for 9: change, as did the lay
deputies from Rhode Island. The cler-
ical deputies from Maine favored the
amendment. but the votes Of Connecti-
cut and. Massachusetts, were. cast. in
the negative. The issue was not a
party one, although the whole strength
of the high church forces was given to
the reform movement. ,,..-.,-.,-... j
