A New Physiological Theory.

A New Physiological Theory.
Professor Startling, lecturing for the
London (England) College Of Physi-
clans on June %, expressed the belief,
as a result of recent discoveries, that
each organ Of the body produces
chemical substance which excites the
next organ into action. He calls these
substances hormones, of which an ex-
ample is adrenaltn, which is already
isolated The fact that when disease
affects one organ general incapacity
results is thought to confirm Starling's
theory He regards it as the task Of
physiological chemistry to discover
the hormone of each organ, how it Is
produced and how it acts. He thinks
this would rationalize the treatment
Of disease.

uyyORcEESCAN,T WE'D IN CANADA
General Synod Adopts That Rule After \
Long Debate.

QuEBEc, Sept. lO.-No clergyman owing
obedience to the Church Of England in
Canada can hereafter solemnize marriage
between divorced person and another
no long as the other party to the divorce is
living. This was the decision reached at
midnight on Saturday by the General Synod
of the Dominion OF Canada representing
every diocese and part of the country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
American boundary to the Arcti, Ocean.
The Bishops were unanimous on the
subject. nineteen of them being present
Only eight Of the clergy opposed it. But
the laity almost defeated it, the majority
OF law votes for the canon being only nine.
The Canadian branch of the Anglican Church
ia the first in the world to take this action.
Astrong fight was waged In the synod all
day yesterday for permission, az now, for
the marriage OF the innocent party to u
divorce, on the ground Of the injustice OF
furnishing the innocent for the guilty.
The convincing argument the other way
was the facility with which Canadians OBJ
tain divorces and then remarry here, and
also the number Of divorced Americans
who come to Canada to be married.
bishops Doane of Albany, Tuttle OF Mis-
souri, and Morrison OF Duluth spoke strongly
on the evils OF divorce in the United States,
and a statement which had great weight
in producing the adoption OF the canon
was that made by George G. Thomas Of
Philadelphia, who said that an American
judge told him he dissolved ten times as
MANY marriages as any clergyman soiem-

that the Baron was not to he considered
seriously Ill, but that it was absolutely

several days"
Acting on the physician's advice, Mr..
Sato said the Baron had word sent to Gen
Stewart L. Woodford that he would be
unable to attend dinner which the Gem
eral was to have given In his honor at his
home in Brooklyn. A similar notice was
sent to Gen. Frederick D. Grant, who had
planned to receive the Baron on Govern
ORB Island to-day. All other dinners and
receptions, Mr.. Sato said, had been called
of. The Baron. he concluded. will remain
in the hotel until Thursday, the day set
for his departure for Seattle and will ap-
pear at no more affairs In his honor in this
country.
DR.. Pritchard said last night that the
Baron's illness was due to cold oontract cted

GEAR MAKES PEACE WITH Us.
CALLS OFF THE TARIFF WAR on
AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

Witte Conveyed tho Message to Roosevelt
Trouble started when Countervailing
Duties Were Imposed On Russian Sugar
Russia Put Extra Duties On Our Steel.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y; Sept. lo.-President
Roosevelt to-day made public communi-
cation from the Gear, laid before him by
Mr.. Witte last night, which is Of great polu-
cal as we'll as economic significance to both
Russia and America.
The communication, which explains it.
self, is as follows:
@Some years ago, in consequence OF a
misunderstanding in the Interpretation
Of the most favored nation clause, there
were established in Russia on several arti-
cles OF American production custom duties
on higher scale than those levied on the
same articles when imported from other
countries.
"His Majesty. the Emperor Of Russia.
has commanded me to inform the President
Of the United States that he has been pleased
to order the discontinuance OF the levying
Of such higher duties on American products
in order that henceforth the American
manufacturers should pay the same duties
as importers from other countries"
The presentation OF this communication
by Mr.. Witte just before leaving the Presi-
dents home is a masterstroke Of true Witte
diplomacy 1t Is considered certain that
he suggested this act on the part Of the
Czar. He was Minister OF Finance when
the tarin war started and was responsible
for the extra duties levied on American
goods.
The Cars aim in now removing those
duties il believed to be twofold:
First-The act is in the nature of thanks
TO the President and to America for this
country's share in the peace negotiations.
Second-It il strong bid for new lease
Of life to the friendship between the United
States and Russia.
On board the MayHower on Aug. Mr.
Witte told THE Sun representative that he
hoped the United States and Russia would
become better friends than they have been
In recent years.
Az first step Mr.. Wltte undid last night
what he himself did on Feb. Is, 1897. when
he was still Minister Of Finance. On that
day he increased by 30 per cent. the i'm
port duties on American steel and iron
products, exclusive Of agricultural i'm
plements, of which Russia stood in great
need. According to our Treasury Depart
ment only about 5000. 900 Of imports were
affected by this, but manufacturers at that
time were much alarmed.
The action OF Witte was retaIiato ry
measure. Our Secretary of the Treasury,
in obedience to the provisions of the Dingley
tariff la W of 1897, had imposed dcountervailng
duties on Russian sugar because of the
bountes paid to exporters.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lO.-Just as he was
leaving Washington this evening Mr.. Witte
confirmed the statement that the Car had
ordered the abo ition of retalatory duties
on certain American products. Through
one OF the members OF his suite Mr.. Witte
said that the reduction pplied to machinery
with the exception OF agricultural machin-
cry. He had himself arranged the matter
with the Car before coming to tho United
States, Mr.. Witte explained.
