CONGO QUESTION RAISED
British People Regardless of Politics
Confer with Foreign secre-
tary on Subject.

LONDON. Nov. sO.-An important deputa-
tion representative Of the various political
parties OF Great Britain called on Foreign
Secretary Grey this afternoon to make rep
on the subject Of alleged atroci-
ties in the Congo Independent state, de-
scribed as the african Chamber of Hor-
rors," as the speakers pointed out the agi-
tation for reform from the methods of the
administration of the Congo Independent
state has become practically unanimous in
this country.
The fact that Secretary Grey consented
to receive the deputation on the eve Of the
Congo debate in the Belgium Parliament Is
considered as significant. The secretary, in
his reply practically promised that unless
the Belgian government takes steps to Inn
prove the prevailing conditions Great Brit
ain will propose International action. Sec
retary Grey said the government would ac-
cept cooperation from any powers without
the slightest desire TO secure political ad-
vantage for Great Britain.

Yesterday with Few Serious
Collisions.

PARIS, Nov. 2O.-The net results Of the
inventory operations conducted throughout

instances the people are still holding out

BISHOP DOANE ON, DIVORCE
Head Of Diocese of Albany Says POSI-
tIOn of Church shOuld He
Palmer.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. 2O.-The thirty
eighth annual convention of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese Of Albany convened in
All Saints cathedral in this city today.
The feature Of principal public interest was
the address of Right Rev. William Cros-
well Doane, who from the foundation of
the diocese has been it's bishop. His widely
known interest on the subject of marTiage
and divorce was again displayed in his
earnest references to that subject in the
course of which. after alluding with ap-
proval to the meeting at Philadelphia of
the congress on uniform divorce laws, at
which he was present, he said in part:
whatever result is to be attained in deal
ing with this most important question de-
pends upon three things In the first place
what legislative action can be secured to
next place, what pressure can be brought
to bear by people who really control and
govern what Is called society; and in the
next place, by the positive and definite out
spokenness Of the churches. And ! am in
cTeasingly hopeful and anxious that this
church shall take the lead in a strong and
definite position as 10 our relation. at any
rate to the question of the Tcmarriage of
any divorced persons.
Until six years ago our canons treated
quietly as possible the remarriage of the
so-called innocent party to divorce, with
much combustion In the details Of its Ian
guage Three years ago the church made
it dificult. But this is really not dealing,
3 it seems 90 me, either frankly or fairly
with the demand foT relief
Weary OF the discussion and content 10
feel that the new canon makes remarriagC
more difficult, there rs a tendency and
/ temptation TO let the sleeping dog lie, but
! the trouble Is that this dog is not asleep
/ / cannot believe that tho church ought Ia
I be content with canon that really cX-
presses nobody's honest convictions. II
! casts a sllr and a shadow upon marriage
which some people think distinctly per
ulitted by our Lord. and IL forces the hand
10 a degree, of those OF us who think other
I wise If Il Is right, u ought not to h
hedRed in with the difficulties. If Il il
. wrong it ought 10 be impossible. Let us
wash our hands Of the business, Let tht
state which separates, unite. And without
eIabora lions of detail or definitions Of dis
cpline, let us simply forbid the clergy e
give the church's benediction TO any such
marriage.
Upon the reading OF the Bible and The
teachings Of the church Bishop Doane SAID
I'm part:
The Bible Is largely an unread and un
known book TO children and To peonle O
middle age The misuse ana the mis-
understanding of criticism Is responsible
for this i'm no slight degree.
The bishop dwelt al length upon IN,
essentially of the historic fact of th,
virgin birth of Jesus. one of the ca rdina
faiths of the Episcopal church with IN
denial OF which DIT. Crapsey was charged.

would soar from S1L9l to approximately

operate the railways as economically and

whether freight and passenger rates

Conniston and Bernard Gore were as
much as possible in one another's COM
pany during the stay Of the former IN
town. Thinking he would go out to the
Cape sooner than he did, Bernard had i'm
pulsively got rid of his civilian clothes,
and therefore had to keep constantly to
his Uniform. But in those days every one
was In khaki, as the war fever was in
the air, 50 amongst the throng he pass
ed comparatively unnouced. At all events
he managed to keep away from the fash
ionable world. and therefore saw neither
Sir Simon nor Lucy Beyond the feet
that his grandfather was IN town. Ber-
nard knew nothing and was ignorant
that the old man had taken up his abode
in Crimea Square. SO he told Durham
when the lawyer questioned him.
The three old schOolfellows came to-
gether at Durham's house, which was
situated on Camden Hill Faithful to his
intention to see Gore. the lawyer had
sent note asking Commission where Eer-
nard was to be found. Already Commission
had told Durham Of his chance meeting
IN the Park. so when he received Dur
hams letter he insisted on taking Gore
to dinner at the lawyers house. Bernard
was only too glad, and the three had a long
talk over old times. The dinner was ex-
cellent, the wine was good and although
the young mans housekeeper was rather
surprised that her precise master should
dine with a couple OF soldiers, she
did her best 20 make them comfortable
When the meal ended Durham carried off
his guests 70 the library, where they sat
around a sea-wood fire slipping coffee and
smoking the excellent cigars Of their host
