Matter U Debates at Length In the
London Diocesan Coancll, Which
Decides Against Snch
Marriages.
LONDON. June 0. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The decision of the London
diocesan conference that no divorced per
son, whether guilty or innocent, shall be
remarried in an Anglican church during the
lifetime of the other party in the suit,
threatens to bring the Church of England
Into direct conflict with the state. It also
threatens to be fruitful of dissension within
the church Itself and to be a powerful
weapon In the hands of the party of dis
establishment. Rev. Prebendary Villlers In an Inter
view upon the subject said:
"The one question for churchmen is:
What Is the law of the Church of En
eland? "On this subject Sir W. Phllllmore once
gave expression to an Important opinion
to the English Church union In the follow
ing words: The law of the Church of
England must be the law of the Church of
the West.' When did the Church of Eng
lanl part with the canon law of the Church
of the West?
"And there is no reason to doubt what
that law Is, namely, that marriage Is In
dissoluble.
"This opinion Is amply confirmed by some
Important resolutions which were passed
on January 28, 18W, by the lower house of
convocation.
"They further state that there is no evi
dence to show that from the time of the
Roman conquest there has ever been any
serious contention In England that the law
of the English church embodied any rec
ognition of divorce 'a vinculo,' properly
so-called, or of remarriage after such dl
vorce.
"As things are now a second marriage Is
purchasable by divorce, and divorce Is pur
chasable by misconduct, and thus a man
Is able to profit by his own wrong.
"On several occasions I have refused the
use of this church for such a marriage.
So long as I am vicar of .St. Paul'
Knlghtsbridge, this church will never be
used for the remarriage of either the guilty
or the Innocent party In a divorce suit.
Suggested by Bishop of London.
The bishop of London- having brought
this matter of the remarriage of divorced
persons up at the opening of the London
diocesan conference it figured to a greater
or less extent throughout the entire con
ference.
Chancellor P. N. Smith offered resolutions
to the effect that the English marriage law
ought to be so amended as to preclude the
remarriage in the church of any party to
a divorce during the lifetime of the other
party, except only remarriage with the
consent of the bishop of the diocese and
the incumbent of the parish where the
other party has been divorced on account
of his or her misconduct.
Rev. C. R. Thornton, speaking against a
prospective amendment to preclude the re
marriage of any party to a divorce cited
the case of an Innocent young bride of 18.
"She was forced," he said, "into marriage
at this early age with a wealthy suitor. He
had good birth to recommend him more
shame to him and money, but was a man
of the lowest moral perception.
"After his marriage he proved himself a
monster of iniquity and the law mercifully
liberated the young woman from this man.
Is it conceivable that this woman, still
young and as Innocent as regards moral
guilt as on the bridal morn. Is to be urged
to remain single, waiting for the repentance
of her husband T Against this man let the
church doors be barred, but la this young
woman to be told that any fresh marriage
must be entered Into at a registry of
fice T"
Rev. Canon Pennefather. D. D., of St.
Mary's, Abbots. Kensington, urged that
the church ought to refuse to remarry
either party to a divorce and proposed an
amendment to that effect.
"A young wife," he said, "might be led
astray. Is the husband to shut the door
against the repentance of that wife? How
often has the door been left open, repent
ance been shown, forgiveness granted and
reconciliation effected?"
The amendment was carried by 169 votes
to 71 and was subsequently adopted by
the conference as a substantive motion.
CALCUTTA. June 10. tSp .egram
to The Bee.) Maharajah R ihe young
prince of Dholpur. has been formally In
vested with full ruling powers In his state,
which during three years of his minority
have been managed by a European superin
tendent under the orders of the government
of India.
During the three years which have
elapsed since the death of the late mahara-
Jah the administration of the state has been
reorganixed, though no attempt has been
made to assimilate It to that of a British
district, the smallest of which is scarcely
equal In sise.
In 1901 Dholpur was heavily In debt; In
March, 1j5, the debt had been cleared off.

In his treasury a substantial cash balance.
equivalent to his total revenue for four
months. The administration of Justice has
been set on a sound footing and the arrears
of cases cleared off; the army, which three
years ago was a useless if picturesque rab
ble, has by the tactful exertions of a mem
ber of the ruling family been reduced to a
smaller and more efficient force. The de
partments of administrations and accounts
have been reduced to order and their staff,
purged of useless hangers-on of the offices,
has been Improved, while at the same time
a smaller, better adjusted expenditure on
salaries offers to the employes a proper
scale of pay, with reasonable prospects of
advancement. Education, sanitation and
police have received attention: yet money
has been found available for an expendi
ture on public works fifteen times as great
as the paltry tlO.OdO a year, which was all
that was spent In 1901. This satisfactory
record of reform has been attained through
native agency, under the supervision of the
European superintendent. It now remains
to be seen whether the efforts which have
been made to train the newly Installed
ruler In his new duties have been equally
successful or whether the state Is destined
once more to lapse Into confusion. It Is
satisfactory to be assured that the maha
rajah enters on his new duties with every
promise of success.
The Maharajah Rana of Pholpur has only
to look from his capital across the deep
ravines of the Chambal to see what can be
done by a prince who Is certainly one of
the most creditable products of a wise sys
tem of training working on favorable ma
terial. Endowed with the energy and the
shrewd commonsense of his father, Maha
rajah Slndhia has profited by the sympa
thetic advice and associations of a series
of particularly capable residents and tutors,
who generally during his minority super
vised his education and his training In
statecraft. Unlike his neighbor at Dholpur
he succeeded as a boy of 10 to an extremely
wealthy state, with a revenue far in excess
of the expenditures of his predecessor, a
man of generally simple, personal habits,
having only one extravagance his army.
Millions, hoarded from the savings of
twenty-five years, were unprofitably buried
in the vaults of Gwallor. Their release and
Investment still further increased the ample
revenue, enabling the council of regency,
which, under the advice of the British resi
dent, administered affairs during the mi
nority, to spend large sums on neglected
publio works.

JOHANNESBURG, June 10 (Special Ca
blegram to The Bee.) There is considerable
excitement throughout the Colony over the
spread of leprosy at Bloemfontein and
vicinity. The subject matter has been
brought before the public eye by letters
signed by about twenty Boers residing at
Bloemfontein, protesting against the re
moval of their relatives to Robben island.
off Cape Town. The Boers alleged to be
suffering from leprosy were placed under
arrest and forcibly deported to Cape Town.
Inasmuch as the distance from Bloem
fontein to Cape Town Is nearly l.OOO miles,
the separation under these conditions is
regarded as practically absolute, inasmuch
as visiting In the future will be impossible.
The Boers who signed the document plead
in pathetic term, claiming that If isola
tion is deemed necessary by the colonial
authorities that it be carried out near
their homes, so that near relatives can
from time to time visit those dear to them.
It is urged that In no part of Europe Is
Isolation enforced, and that there are
plenty of Immigrant lepers residing in
Paris and In London, where they cause no
alarm and never Infect others.
A medical report upon the subject has
the following:
"The last few years have witnessed a
widespread change In professional opinion
as to the contagiousness of leprosy. Al
though no one now denies that it may be
communicated from person to person if
food be taken directly from the leper's
hands, there are few, if any, who holB
that contagion by breath or touch or
clothes Is a common cause of the disease.
Most definite In this direction is a recent
avowal by Dr. Hansen himself, an author

the leprosy bacillus, has long held the
foremost place amongst the believers In
disfavor upon this proposal. The coalition contagion and advocates of segregation

Despite tho friction and the possibilities
for friction which are constantly and con
tinually springng up, there are powerful
forces and factors wheh make for the
peace of southeastern Europe. To say
nothng of the emperor, who has long been
one of the mainstays of European peace,
there is Count Agenor Goluchowskl, the
tenth anniversary of whose accession to
the head of the Austro-Hungarlan Foreign
office has Just been celebrated. Count
Goluchowskl and his imperial and royal
master have one leading trait in common
that of seeking peace and promoting con
cord whenever and wherever opportunity
offers. The Austro-RusBlan agreement of
189", of which the work of reform In Mace
donia and the maintenance of peace in thy
Balkans are direct consequences; the Aus-
tro-Italian understanding concerning Al
bania; the broad reading of the triple alli
ance and tho demonstration that its exist
ence is compatible with good relations to
ward other countries, and the successful
preservation of the position of Austro
Hungary as a great power in spite of in
ternal troubles and dissensions, are friuts
of the harmonious collaboration of the
Emperor Francis Joseph and his foremost
adviser. A temperamental reluctance to
take things tragically until proof of their
tragic nature is forthcoming is perhaps
the foremost character of Count Goluchow
skl, who, however, is quite capable of emit
ting an audible growl when the sultan of
the Balkan provinces wanders from the
path of wisdom.
Another power which makes for peace is
Signor Tlttonl, the Italian foreign minister,
who enjoys in Austro-Hungary the reputa
tion of being a man who speaks clearly and
frankly and who means what he says. The
uml-officlal Fremdenblatt says of Signor
Tittoni's recent speeches: "Like his pre
vious declarations they give the Impres
sion that the management of Italian for
eign affairs lies in sure and steady hands,
the hands of a man of far sight and calm
Judgment. His speech In the chamber Is
at the same time a new proof that even
beyond the trontiers of Italy there is good
cause to regard the policy of the Italian
government with the confidence which sin
cere love of peace, loyal sentiments and
constancy Inspire."
now adopted In Norway, Dr Hansen has
quite recently written: "We have no par
tlcular rules for the transportation of pa
tients. I see no reason for them. Leprosy
is a disease which It is not necessary to
have any particular dread of."
CANEA. June 10. (Special Cablegram
to the Bee) Prince George of Greece
has made an Interesting statement re
garding public matters to a French
woman staying here. He began byde
claring, "There Is but one Issue to the
present situation, the union of the Island
to the mother country, Greece," and con
cluded by reaffirming that the solution
was the only one that could be accom
plished by Crete, and the only one which
humanity. Justice, history and the interest
of the Christian and Mussulman elements
imposed upon the conscience of the Chris
tian powers.
Prince. George himself is strongly in fa
vor of this solution, owing to the diffi
culty of his own task. In the beginning
the work of pacification was very difficult,
the disarmament of the population being
a harder task than was generally realized.
The administration of Justice was sus
pended for two years, but has been reor
ganized. The civil, commercial and penal
codes, as well as the procedure, has been
revised. It was necessary to establish ad
ministrative services and to nominate pre
fects, sub-prefects, mayors and municipal
commissions. Although the people were
accustomed to recognize only the officials
elected or proposed by themselves, they
have accepted the nominations made by
the chief commissioner. The financial ad
ministration has been regularly created
and taxes are now regularly collected. If
the financial condition of Crete is of a na
ture to excite apprehension that circum
stance is due to the uncertainty of the
political situation.
According to the prince all these reforms
have been secured in consequence of the
hope entertained by the Cretan people that
their national aspirations will be speedily
fulfilled. That hope has been fostered
upon the act of the great powers In en
trusting the post of chief commissioner to
a prince of the royal family of Greece.
If the powers have any doubt as to the
sentiments of the Cretans, they should or
ganize a plebiscite, free from all pressure,
to express the real desire of the country
as to Its future destinies In formal resolu- I PARIS, June 10. (Special Cablegram to

VIENNA, June 10. (Special Cablegram to
The Boe.) The announcement by Signor
Tlttonl that among the points agreed upon
between him and Count Goluchowskl at
Venice was the principle that certain pre
ponderatingly Albanian ports of Macedonia
shall be incorporated in Albania in the
near future and the favorable impression
which this Is reported to have produced in
Italy is regarded as a sign that the Austro
Itallan understanding in regard to Albania
has at last been placed upon a positive
basis.
Hitherto the old arrangement of negation
to the effect that neither country should
seek to change the Albanian status quo by
occupying any part of the vilayets of
Yanina and Skutari constituted the main
If not the sole feature of the Austro
Itallan agreement. The declarations ex
changed between the Marquis Vlscontl
Venosta and Count Goluchowskl in 1S38
have, it is true, been renewed from time
to time, but their renewal only pointed to
the continued existence of reciprocal sus
picion. Until recently Austrc-Hungary was
believed by Italian newspaper men and
politicians to entertain dark designs upon
Albania, and In Austro-Hungary the opinion
was widespread that Italy might one day
lay covetous hands upon the Albanian
coast. The fact that the two ministers are
believed to have reached an agreement
as to Albania will, it Is believed, go a long
way toward doing away with these suspicions.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.-13:36 p. m.
The radical jrtss, which hounds the
government no matter which way it turns,
is promptly seeking to take advantage of
the new situation created by the possi
bility of peace. Although for months It
hs been preaching peace and the aban
donment of the whole of the Manchurlan
adventure at any cost, it has already
veered around and pretends to be horri
fied at the fact that Russia can contem
plate the possibility of surrendering its
position on the Pacific and purchasing
peace at the price of an Indemnity after
the sacrifice of millions of the people's
money and thousands of the people's lives,
and declares that only the people shall
decide whether the country shall submit
to this humiliation. TheBe tactics will pro
duce all the mote effect since, so far as
the Indemnity goes, the radical papers un
doubtedly reflect the views of the masses
of the Russian people, as well as those
prevalent in official circles.
The status of Vladivostok and the ques
tion of an indemnity are sure to be the
main obstacles to an agreement once the
belligerents are brought together, but the
crisis for which the solid elements of the
opposition are waging against the gov
ernment and which they are trying to
precipitate constitutes the chief danger.
Solemn words ofwarnlng such as those
uttered by the Moscow zemstvolsts and the
mayors of the principal cities who Joined
with them In the all-Russian zemstvo con
gress, cannot be lightly thrust aside,
although the government Is getting accus
tomed to such harsh words. The organiza
tion known as the League of Professional
Leagues yesterday at Moscow threatened
to translate their words into acts unless
the government yields and resolved not
only to Inaugurate a strike of all the pro
fessional classes but to arm in self-defenso.
They also bound themselves not to testify
at political trials and to provide for each
other's families in case any of the mem
bers suffered arrest or exile. Months ago
M. Witte, president of the committee of
ministers, said to the correspondent of the
Associated Press: "There will be no In
ternal crisis now or while the war lasts.
The crisis will come when the war ends."
His words seem like a prophesy.

provoked, according to the official version,
by the theft of a purse from a soldier off

LONDON, June 10. (Special Cablegram

lines of descent sometimes pass from one
nationality to another Is illustrated by the
fact that Mr. James Edwin-Cole, a retired
barrister, who, when he settled In Lin

recognlxed as the descendant of an ancient
Austrian family, by establishing his claim
to the titles of the duke and marquis of
Pollgnano. a city romantically situated on
a high cliff on the coast of the Adriatic
sea. The marqulsate, which dates back
to the fifteenth century, passed by inher
itance to Don Gaetano de Leto, a faithful
minister and a trusty counsellor of the
Emperor Charles VI of Austria, king of
Bpaln and the two Sicilies. In 1729 this
monarch confirmed the title to Don Gae
tano, and in the following year created him
duke of Pollgnano, directing that this title
should be Inherited by his descendants of
both sexes In order of primogeniture. The

PARENTS NEED EDUCATION
Archbishop of Canterbury Finds Chil
dren Are Not Governed In
Proper Manner.
LONDON. June 10. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) The archbishop of Canterbury
made the principal address at the confer
ence of the Parent's National Education
union, which was attended by delegates
from all parts of the United Kingdom and
even from Norway and Germany. He de
plored the fact that discipline among chil
dren seems to be a thing of the past.
"There Is peril In the new development of
independence among the young. The child
who has not learned obedience at the age
of I never learns It," said the archbishop
during the course of his address. Quoting
the philosophic dictum that a "child can
not be too careful in the choice of its par
ents or begin their education too early,"
he ssld that the child of IS months out late
at night In the perambulator whose mother
said, "It won't go to bed till we do." had
begun the education of Its parents very
early. Ha added that he did not bellevs
that the relaxation of discipline was an
unmitigated blessing. Twenty-five years ago
a mother would not have said of her daugh
ter,. "Well I told bar; she must please
herself."
KANSAS WINS FIRST POINT
State Supreme Court Rules Against
Contention of Standard OH
Company.
TOPEKA, Kan., June 10. In the case
of the Stale of Kansas against the Stand
ard Oil Company, the state won the first
point in the supreme court today. This
is the case in which the state Is trying to
oust the Standard from doing business In
Kansas on the ground that it is a trust.
The charges are of a general nature, while
the Standard asked that they be made
more definite and the names .and dates
where the Standard "had conspired" be
given. The answer of the state was that
the information that the Standard desires
is the peculiar possession of the defendant
company and the state does not have to
set it forth in detail. The court overruled
the Standard's contention.
CHRISTIANIA, June 11.-12:40 a, m.-Re-ports
received here of yesterday's confer
ence at Stockholm between the officials of
the government and the Riksdag are taken
here that the Swedes are withdrawing from
their position. It lb recognized here that
Sweden has three courses first, to declare
war; second, to agree to Norway's pro
posals; third, an intermediate course, not
war, but the refusal to recognize Norway's
independence, and the refusal to appoint a
sovereign.
It has been feared that Sweden would
take the last mentioned step and thereby
drive Norway to the extremity of estab
lishing a republic, which, it is known,
would not be welcome to Europe. The In
fluence of a republic on the socialistic par
ties in Denmark and Sweden, however, it
is pointed out, would not be likely to en
hance the stability of monarchies, and for
this reason King Oscar may consent to ap
point his grandson William king of Nor
way. William, who is a year younger than
Gustavus Adolphus, is the Norwegian
favorite, and It is thought that the brothers
would rule the sister countries well.
The question to submit the case to The
Hague meets with strong disapproval. The
Norwegians say that they cannot consent
to arbitrate the point of independence or
national honor. Frldtjof Nansen Is men
tioned as the probable first minister to
London and Dr. Hamerup, former premier,
as minister to Berlin. Sympathetic tele
grams In great numbers have been re
ceived from Norwegians in all parts of
America.
The address of the Storthing to King Oscar
announcing the dissolution of the union be.
tween Norway and Sweden, which the
king had previously refused to accept, was
handed to him yesterday afternoon at
Stockholm by a representative of the presi
dent of the Storthing.
STANTON, la.. June lO.-The Evangelical
Lutheran Augustana synod, holding its an
nual meeting here, has 225.000 members and

the synod today sent a cablegram to King

TOKIO, June 10. 4 p. m. Japan hag
agreed to President Roosevelt's suggestion
to appoint plenipotentiaries to meet Rus
sian ulcnipotcnliurles.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 10. Japan's
acceptance of the president s "offer of good
will" has reached the State department
in a cablegram from Minister Gtiscom.
Russia's reply followed later, but not in
tlgie to be deciphered tonight. It Is ex
pected both will be made public tomorrow.
Japan's acceptance reached the State de
partment several hours ahead of Russia's
reply. Had the cablegram from Ambas
sador Meyer reached here before the de
partment 'closed there Is a strong prob
ability that both would have been made
public today. No word regarding their
character can be obtained beyond the im
portant fact that both are acceptances
and both express the gratitude of the re
spective governments for the president's
offer of good will. '
An interesting fact regarding the negoti
ations of the last week Is the powerful In
fluence brought to bear upon Russia by
France to accept the offer of the president
to discuss peace with representatives of
Japan. M. Jusserand, French ambassador,
was Informed by the president of every
move and has kept Paris thoroughly in
touch with the president s activity. Loyal
support from Paris has been given the
president's efforts from the first.
Pnrls Is Russia's Choice.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 10. U.i6 a. m,
Paris is Russia's choice for the opening of
peace negotiations. If Japan Insists upon
Manchuria or Washington, Russia doubt
less will agree, but Paris la preferred and
the emperor already is prepared to issue In
structions to M. Nelldoff. the ambassador
to France, to act as plenipotentiary to re
ceive the Japanese conditions. The Rus
slan -government has communloated to the
administration at Washington its consent
to the publication of its reply to President
Roosevelt's appeal, at the same time thank
ing the president for the friendly and lofty
spirit in which it was conceived.
The Associated Press Is now able to
give additional Interesting details of the
extraordinary council presided over by the
emperor, which met recently at Tsarskoe
Selo and at which the practical, although
not official decision was taken to ter
minate the war If the conditions were not
too onerous.
Besides the older male members of the
imperial family, all the cabinet ministers
were present, besides General Fredericks,
Master of Ceremonies Prince Dolgorukl.
Count Solsky, Baron Besse and members
of the imperial entourge. General Drago
miroff and Vice Admiral Doubassoff were
there as strategic experts of the army and
navy. With Grand Dukes Vladimir and
Alexander Mlchaelovltch, as leaders, all
the members of the Imperial family expect
Nicholas Nlcholavltch favored an attempt
to conclude peace. Only General Sakharoff,
the minister of war, and General Llbko,
from among the ministers, hold out for pros
ecution of the war. The former displayed
a telegram from General Linevitch, report
ing the strategic position of the army aa
good and expressing not only confidence In
his ability to defeat the enemy, but ven
to assume the offensive. General Sakhar-
off's argument, however, was easily out
weighed by the considerations presented by
the other ministers.

Probable Attitude of Japan.
There was a wide divergence of opinion
as to whether Japan would attempt to
Impose impossible terms, but the concen
sus of opinion was that Japan is too wise
to desire now to humble Its gigantic neigh
bor and force conditions which would for
ever rankle In the heart of Russia and only
make peace an armed truce till the Russian
empire could make further preparations.
An enduring peace. It was agreed, wag
Impossible if Japan tried to force upon
Russia humiliating terms such aa the sur
render and disarmament of Vladivostok
and the absolute limitation of Russia's
naval strength In the Pacific. The ground,
therefore, already was prepared for the
reception of President Roosevelt's mes
sage, which was conveyed to the emperor
by Ambassador Meyer personally the fol
lowing day, and his majesty accepted it
cordially, especially as he had good reason
to believe that the president had taken
pains to disabuse his majesty of any idea
that the United States was unfriendly to
Russia or desired to see it destroyed as a
power in the Pacific.
A formal truce is expected to be pro
claimed immediately the place of meeting
of the plenipotentiaries has been settled
tipon. The Associated Press hears from
the highest sources commendation of tho
president's action, and if it results In satis
factory terms It is bound to have a ten
dency to restore the relations between tha
United States snd Russia to something Ilka
the old friendly basis.
It Is understood that the emperor hag
agreed to receive the Moscow deputation
on Tuesday next If M. I'etrunkevlch, who
is personally obnoxious to his majesty,
withdraws. M. Petrunkevlch'a activity
over the semstvo resulted in his exile by
Minister von Plehve. Since his return as
president of the Imperial Agricultural so
ciety of Moscow he has continued his cru
sade against the government, making ad
dresses In the rural districts of a revolu
tionary order, for which acts the Imperial
patronage was wlthdramn from the society.
The elevation of General Trepoff, which
has revived "the third section" with prac
tically limitless power for the suprrsslon
of political agitation, will be followed. It
Is understood, by the abolition of ths office
of governor general of St. Petersburg.
