LORD HUGH CECIL IS RAvING
Special CabieSram TO The Star.


LONDON, August 3l.-The Church Of
England, as represented by its bishops. Is
taking the passage OF the deceased wife's
sister bill in spirit of open rebellion. The
Bishop OF London, who sailed today on the
steamer Victorian, issued instructions to his
clergy forbidding them to ofilciate at any
marriage which the new law authorizes. and
other church authorities are taking the
same attitude. A result which is already
apparent is that the position Of the state
church is considerably weakened, and tho
campaign fo- dtsestablishment will receive
a strong impetus.
The discussion of the subject in the house
of lords was conducted with dignity and
moderation on both sides. Not so. however,
the discussion in the press. which has been
raging since the bill became q law OF the
land. Lord Hugh Cecil raves in the Times
in medical terms. and some OF his SYM
pathizers use language scarcely more tit
for publication
The situation created by the bishops 10
practically this: There Is one law for the
clergy and another for the laity. The ec-
SiCSidSllSdA law OI lie STATE CuuECn -

the clergy are instructed to ignore.

OLDEST IRISH BOROUGH
FREEDOM OF WEXFORD UNANI-
MoUSLY GRANTED REDMOND.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN. August 31.-Wexford borough,
the freedom Of which has been unanimously
granted to John E. Redmond. NJ p, can
justly claim to be the oldest In Ireland. as
there Is a reference to the Twelve bur-
gesses of Wexford" in the pipe rolls OF
Henry H. In iii. Further. in 1172, the
sheriff of Hants. by kings writ was given
credit for various payments to Murtagh
MacMurrough and the buigesses Of Wex-
ford. including sum Of $53.75 for robes.
while in 1173 Geonfrey Fitzrobert was
mayor. As late as 1888 the Danes Of Wex-
ford kept apart from the native Irish and
preserved their ancient manners and GUS
toms. These Ostmen. as appears from an
inquisition in 1888. had to pay to the mayor
and corporation Of Wexford eightpence each
annually for every cow they possessed, and
fourpence for permission not to be pressed
into the army, with other customs. Wex-
ford got its charter on July %, 1917, which
was enlarged in 1868, and by Henry VIII
and Elizabeth. A new charter was granted
by King James II December "a. 1887, but
after the debacle at the Boyne the cor
poration resumed the use of the charter OF
1908. The present charter dates from 1S43.
under the provisions OF the Irish municipal
corporation act.
Discussion Over Resolution.
After an animated discussion the follow
ing resolution was carried at a meeting Of
the Wexford council: THAT this council
regards As impolitic, unwise and illogical
any proposal to withdraw the Irish parlia-
mentary representatives from Westminster
before and until q measure OF legislative
independence has been obtained at least
equal In its merits to Gladstone's pro-
posals" Mr.. Kingsella. who seconded the
resolution, declared that to his mind the
policy of Sim Fein was a policy OF fools
Sinn Fein would never become q living
force, and would get no sympathy in Wex-
ford.
Sir Thomas Esmonde who presided, ad-
mitted that the Irish parliamentary party
had done a great amount of really good
work but he was convinced that 1t was on
the wrong track. The party has failed as
far as home rule was concerned. and 1t was
now for the country to exert in another way
its distinct nationality, for 1t could be easily
seen that neither Of the English parties
would bring In another home rule bill.

NEW YORK, August 31.-If the striking

President Roosevelt In their strike the hope
was dissipated today by an authoritative
statement from Oyster Bay that he will
not interfere or take any part looking to a
settlement of the strike. This was supple
mented by statement from Secretary
Loeb In which he said that none OF the
appeals to the President for Intervention
which newspapers said were being pre-
pared were received at Oytser Bay and
further that the President has not any time
since the strike began seen any reason or
necessity for his interference.
Most of the statements that petitions
were being prepared to be sent to oyster
Bay came from the strike leaders and

Mr.. Russell was not placing so much

with the President with the labor
leaders. 1t would spoil everything to
divulge the plan prematurely, but the re-
porter might look out for a surprise
about the middle of this week.

lapsed Thursday, causing great loss OF life,
to the effect that her had sent a telegram
TO the man in charge of the work warning
him to get off the bridge at once, and that
the telegram might not have been received
in time. Russell said 1t proved that the
telegraph companies were in bad shape and
that 1t was terrible thing that it was not
received in time.
