but to be their "brother's brother" was
loudly applauded, and 1t sums up the
general trend OF the debate. nearly all
the speakers emphasizing the necessity
OF the church's cooperation in remov-
ing the expressions leading to the pre-
sent-day socialism.
The delegates to the Pan Anglican
congress filled Albert Hall last night
to hear ex-Premler Balfour In dis

Mr.. Balfour said that he could not
conceive Of human society being per-
manently deprived of the religious ele-
ment, but he looked to science more
than to anything else as the great
ameliorator of the human lot in the
future. II he had to believe that the
two great powers-religion and
science-were in antagonism it would
be impossible for him to avoid the
hopeless despair which deprives labor
of all Its fruits and makes efforts for
the betternent of mankind impossible.

SHERMAN VERY I'LL
Possible That He VIII Have to With

!. IFrom Our Regular Correspondent.l

From Our Regular Correspondent u
WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 23.-lt
IL believed here that the illness OF
Representative Sherman, Republican
vice presidential candidate. is seri-
Gus. Mr.. Sherman has been In Ill
health for several years. He was abb
sent from the House nearly two months
during the last session, owing to a
very severe attack. 1t was stated at
the time that he was suffering from
stomach trouble, and up to yesterday
it was not admitted in Cleveland.
where he is now i'll, that his indispo-
sition was due to anything more serl-
Gus than an attack of biliousness.
Dispatches to-day. however. are TO
the effect that he is afflicted with gall
{ stones, and that an operation may be
necessary. Such operations are always
serious. and those who have informa-
t.bn regarding the state OF Mr.. Sher
mans health would not be surprised
If he We're TO find it necessary for him

can ticket to which he was nominated
by the recent Chicago convention.
May Establish Precedent.
II is impossibie to say what course
would be pursued by tile Republicans
I In case Mr.. Sherman should withdraw
from the ticket. 1t might be felt
necessary TO reconvene the party In
national convention and nominate a
man to take his place 1t is more
probable, however, that the Republi-
I can National Committee would simply
designate the vice presidential nom-
nee.
There is no precedent to guide the
committee, as.no nominee for the presi-
dency or ,Sics-pr esidency has ever de-
- ii,a o,-;,, tod
1T in the first place. The nearest APP
proach to a case of this kind is that OF
Silas Wright. of New York. who was
nominated for the vice-presidency on
the ticket with James X. Polk by the
Democratic convention al Baltimore in
1914. Martin Van Buren had a ma
! jority OF the delegates, but did not have
Z two-thirds and after considerable bal
loting and jockeying, Polk was nomi-
mated. The news was brought tc
Washington by the electric telegraph
the first instance OF the telegraphie
transmission of news of an occurrence
Senator Wright was In Washington
at the time, and was indignant tina,
Mr.. Van Buren,. the choice of the ma,
icrity Of the delegates. had not re.
reived the nomination. When tht
telegraph later brought the informa
lion that Mr. Wright had been nomi
mated on the ticket with Mr.. Polk
the former sent telegram positively
declining TO accept the honor. Incl
dentally. this was the first paid pri
vate telegram ever transmitted,
The convention had not adjourned
when Senator Wrights telegram o.
declination was received, and George
n. Dallas, of Pennsylvania. was made
the nominee for the pice-presidency.
It Is very probable that the Republi

set q precedent In this matter. as i
seems likely that Mr.. Sherman vii

tour Of the registry offices in an en-
deavor to discover means by which
his marriage with Madame Anna Gould
could be carried out without that de-
lay which. under. the law OF England,
usually accompanies such ceremonies.
AT al the registry offices visited he
got the same response, namely, that
the only means recognized by the law
to avoid fortnight's residence here
before marriage Is the special license
that can be issued only by the Arch.
bishop OF Canterbury. As Madame
Gould is divorced. 1t Is not believed
that this license can be obtained.
The couple were hopeful that the
wedding could take place the end OF
this week. but the authorities declare
that this Is impossible without a special
license. Prince Helie Is reported to
have renounced Catholicism in order to
marry Madame Gould. It is declared
that after the wedding the couple viii
