ENGLISH CHURCH BREACH
Bishop of London Attacks Chan
cellor on Marriage Question.
(Bv Cable to The Tribune. !

London Jan. 19--No little stir has
been occasioned in Church circles by
remarkable letter from the Bishop of
London expressing strong disapproval OF
the action Of the chancellor Of the diocese
in issuing licenses for the marriage of
divorced persons or OF a man with his
deceased wife's sister. The issue Of such
licenses, though in accordance with civil
law, has never received the sanction Of
the Church. and the Bishop maintains
custom of the diocese. So strongly does
he feel on the subject that he forbids all
licenses in his name without a previous
consent in writing.
The difference between the Bishop and
the chancellor is one of old standing, but
the present action is due TO an objection
taken in certain quarters to the remar-
rage Of woman petitioner in a recent
divorce suit.
The diocesan chancellor has been in
the habit lately of issuing licenses under
his own hand and seal without the
Bishop taking any part in the proceed
ings. His view is that the applicant has
a right t. a license as a matter OF law
and that it remains for him or her af-
terward to find clergyman willing to
solemnize the marriage. Common COM
ment on the attitude Of the Bishop is
that It is a long step on the road to the
disestablishment Of the Church.

NEW SINGERS IN LA BOHEME'
Smirnoff and Miss Nielsen in Principal
Parts at Metropolitan Opera House.

Puccinfs la Boheme" was the opera
last night at the Metropolitan, with a Ro-
dOlfo from ST. Petersburg and Mimi from
Boston. The Rodolfo was Dimitri Smirnoff
who made a better impression than he had
previously, either in "Rigoletto' or Romeo
ct Juliette." There was some feeling in
his singing, and he gave the "Raconto"
with effect. Yet his voice seemed still un-
duly white. and at times he forced It out
of AL proportion. No doubt the loud play
ing Of the orchestra under Mr.. Podesti's
leadership had much TO do with this last
defect
Miss Nielsen was a moderately effective
Mimi. though there was little fieXibllity or
serious beauty in her singing. The other
chief parts were in the capable hands Of
Nine. Scott, Didur, De Segurola and Pini-
Corsi and Miss Bella Alien.
There was much ill-aIyised applause
from behind the orchestra rail and from
the topmost gallery. This certainly did not
help things on the stage.

acting for the present season. Inc famous
actress gave an exclamation OF adInrlns
surprise when she stepped forward to Inc

audience. whose enthusiasm and numbers
seemed 10 inspire her for the evening
task. II must have been a hard task. be-

courageously, and over which she con-
quered before the conclusion OF the enter

and II applauded with appreciation OF the

throat, she said in her merry way: 1T :

that's another story. For what Miss
Terry did give, the audience responded
gratefully, and by the magic or her art
and personality 1t forgot the veXations OF
the throat Indeed, the more she spoke the
clearer became Miss Terrys voice, and II
is doubtful If ever IN her enchanted career
she gave the Quality OF Mercy speech and
Ophelia's mad scene better than she gave
them Wednesday night. When the end OF
the evening came. the audience remained
and called Miss Terry several times, as II
the delighted thousands could not tire
with appauding. When the lights were

by the tribute which the plaudits ana
