LONDON, Aug. 15.-Tn the House of Com
mons to-day Harold Cox. Liberal member
for Preston. asked the Right Hon. d. Lloyd
George, president of the Board of Trade,
whether his attention had been called to q
speech made by Earl Grey at Halifax in
which the Earl had declared that the nat
ural geographical advantages of the Domin-
ion had been destroyed by the colossal
imperial blunder Of substituting mail steam
ships to New York, and whether the Cow
eminent would intimate to the Cunard
Steamship Company that they were willing
to permit that company TO substitute a
Canadian port for New York in the existing
contract. t.t ...
Mr.. Lloyd-George replied that he had
seen a telegraphic summary of Earl Grey's
speech. He would submit Mr.. Cox's pro-
posal to the committee that was examining
into the project for an Al-Brtish route to
the Orient by way Of the American con-
tinent.

LONDON, Aug. I6.-Numerous dispatches
from Morocco suggest the probability that
the Moors will succeed In clearing the coun-
try Of the hated foreigners temporarily
by inspiring fear of massacre, a fear which,
indeed, unless the warnings be d~isregarded,
seems likely enough to be realized wherever
the guns of the warships do not carry. The
Consuls recognize this and act accordingly.

there will cave.
The powerful Kaid Anioos is reported

French oruiser Amiral Aube is Fastening.
It is reported that the Sultan's position
is threatened by Mulai Hafd, who is said
to be about to proclaim himself Sultan.
Among the dispatches from Casablanca
the most noteworthy feature is the lack
ofharmony between the French and Spanish
forces there. About five hundred fresh
Spanish troops landed there on Wednes-
day TO share in the policing. Their oom-
mander did not communicate with Gen.
Drude, who accordingly ignores the Spanish
force. Through bungling the Spaniards
were not provided for. and on Wednesday
they we're wandering the streets hunting

TRENTON. N. j.. Aug. 15.-Some surprise
was manifested in political circles to-day
when il was learned that Senator Joseph
S. F~relinghuysen had formally withdrawn
ae a candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor. His letter OF with
drawal was addressed 70 the executive
committee OF his county. In IL he expressed
confidence that the party would be sue
cessful next fall and said he had no sym
patty with those pessimists who feared
defeat. Admitting that party harmony
does not prevail everywhere in the State,
Senator Frelinghuysen declared that the
lack of it is purely local and all differences
could be cured by a raightforward. honest
and open campaign.
The action Of the Mckinley and Roose-
welt Club of Orange in indorsing almost
unanimously the candidacy of Chandler w.
Riker as against Sheriff Frank II. Sommer
of Essex county is regarded here as fore
casting the ultimate withdrawal of Mr..
Sommer. 1t is known that Senator Colby
was never enthusiastic over having his
followers attempt TO name a candidate Of
their own. believing that to do so would
weaken their cause. IL would therefore

DEAD WIFE'S SISTER BILL.
House Of Commons Again Passes Marriage
Measure and Sends nc 20 Lords.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-After an all-n' Rht
sitting the House Of Commons this morning
passed to third reading the Deceased Wife's
Sister bin and sent it to the House Of Lords,
where il has so frequently been rejected.
Shortly before midnight a little band
Of twenty-seven Church ~stalwarts entered
the Opposition benches, prepared to fight
every point of progress. Their efforts were
defeated. There were several divisions,
the vote Of which averaged 205 to 20, the
result being received with ministerial laugh
ter and cheers. Some passages of arms in
the course OF the debate kept the House
lively.
Lord Robert Cecil. the leader Of the
supporters Of the canon law. wanted men,
bers of the Church Of England exempted
from the operations Of the bill.
would YOU asked Jesse Ceilings. -set
up rivalry between a mans love for his
Church and his love for a woman? II you
do the woman will prevail"
Unfortunately. there are men who love
a woman without thinking OF marriage"
retorted Lord Robert Cecil. your argu-
ment would lead to the abolition Of the
moral law
mo. no. cried Ceilings. jumping toward
the table, they would leave the Church
in order to get married"
Then the third reading was closured
and carried.
In l847 a royal commission was appointed
to examine the marriage laws of Great
Britain, and from l849 up to the present
day attempts ave been mad repeatedly,
both in the Lords and in the Commons,
to carry a bill making marriage with n
deceased wife's sister legal. They ave
always failed. As a rule. the House of
Commons has passed The bill by a large
majority, but Il has been thrown out BY
the House of Lords.
In 1895, however, the bill was passed by
the Lords. But il went no further. The
Colonial bill, to make marriages OF this kind
lawfully contracted in the British colonies
valid in England. became law last year. A
Scotch bill having a similar object has
never been carried. The fight for and
against the proposed law passed by the
Commons to-day is carried on by two or
ganizations, namely the Marriage Reform
Association and the Marriage a Defence
Union.
