ONE STEP GAINED
In the Uniform Divorce Laws Congress
at Washington.

WaShir gton. Feb. o0.-Animated discus
sion was indulged in today by the con-
gress on uniform divorce laws on the
mia delegation outlining important re-
forms for uniform laws on this subject
by the various states. and which had
been endorsed practically in their entire
ty by the resolutions committee. Argu-
ments We're exhausted and parliamentary
tactics invoked by the minority of the
congress to defeat the adoption of the
following portion of the report of the
committee on resolutions, striking the
death blow at the migratory divorce:
''When the courts are given cognizanco
of suits whore the plaintiff was domicile(l
in a foreign jurisdiction at the time the
cause of complaint arose. it should bn
insisted that relief will not be given I'M
less the cause of divorce was included
among those recognized in such foreign
domicilC."
The section was finally adopted by IN
overwhelming vote.
Regarding the adoption Of the first res
olution submitted by the committee that
it was the sense of the congress that 4
federal divorce law was not feasible, Gov.
Pcnnypacker said:
THE resolution has been adopted. and
the FIRST step in the path of progress has
been takon.'
The section declaring that each state
should adopt legislation restricting the
remedies afforded by it's statutes of di-
vorce to its own citizens was adopted
with some modifica tionS.

charges that the effect of the passage of
the bill would be to give control of much
of the food products of the country to
one man, the chief of the bureau of
chemistry of the department of agricul-
ture. He said that the only authorit"
granted to that official is to act as agent
for the courts in gathering testimony and
that under the proposed law he would
not be permitted to place any brand Of
disapproval on any articles Of food.
A long discussion Of amendments Of
fered bv various senators ensued. Ifemen-
way spoke at considerable length in sup
port Of an amendment offered by him
self for the regulation of the purity of
drugs.
Spconcr expressed the opinion that if
the bill should become a law as it stands
the addition Of q thousand chemists 10

would be necessary, but McCmnbcr re-
plied that no additions whatever would
be necessary.

ANTl-FOREIGN FEELING
Seems to Be Growing, Despite Reports
OF the Missionaries.

Victoria, B. C., Feb. 20.-The steamer
Athenian from the Orient brings ad-
vices of the increase OF anti-foreiSn
feeling i'll China to which some officials
are giving encouragement. Shanghai
papers call attention to the anti-forei2n
action OF Nlccroy Chou Flu, following
the recent riots regarding the mixed
courts OF shanghai, he having decided
to build a Jail tor the custody of pris-
oners held at the mixed court at cost
Of $1o0,0uo. Tho North China Daily
News says there is absolutely no need
for such an establishment the new mu-
nicipal Iail serving the purposes anu
classes the action as simply due to i'll
feeling ana i'll temper tranSlatirg into
action the anti-foreign feeling.
In South China the anti-foreign feel
ing l.; even more marked. Arrivals
from Hong Kong and Canton say visits
to the native cities now involving risk
ing the travellers life. The situation in
Canton and vicinity is intensified be-
cause of popular discomfort anent the
new Chinese taxation law which has
resulted in the assassination Jan. y Of
the governor Of Kwantung province.
That the anti-foroign feeling is wide
spread is evidenced by rising against
the French priest in Yunann far to the
west ana i'll SZechuan. The Kolao-Au
Society is planning anti-fOreisn ris-
ings. The vicerOy of Yunann reports
several Chinese shot and killed.
