COMPROMISE ON DIVORCE aBBtaaaaBBaaam Episcopal Bishops and Deputies Will Pnb ablj Beaob. an Agreement. DISCUSSION CARRIE0 OVER UNTIL TODAY Prepwae4 Cataan Forbid Remarrlai ( Iaaaceal Party lor On Year Committee on Labor Reports. BOSTON, Oct. 19. An attempt was made today by the committee on canons of the Episcopal house of deputies to arrange compromise between that body and the houte of bishops. The blHhops had adopted an amendment forbidding the remarriage of divorced persons, while the deputies had declined to accept so rigid a . provision, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of fhem took a stand similar to that of th house of bishopa. The committee on canons offered a resolution compelling di vorced persons seeking remarriage to wait one year after the decree of . the court had been Issued before the solemnisation of tho" ceremony. By this compromise, which re ferred to the Innocent person In a divorce for Infidelity only, it was hoped to' secure at least a temporary agreement between the two forces. After some debate, the divorce issue was mad a special order for tomorrow. Th deputies devoted a large part of the day to the consideration tor a request from several diocese for permission .to "use the revised version of the Bible in churches. When the bouse was divided, ths request was refused by a majority of both clericul and lay delegates. -, In the house of blshqps,' Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York,, chairman of the standing committee on sthe relations of capital and labor, presented a lengthy re port which touched upon certain evils the committee found, and dUcussed the indus trial situation at great length. Relation of Capital and Labor. Both houses of. th general .convention, which-was opened on October 6, have -voted in favor of final adjournment Tuesday next. In the house of bishop the standing com mittee on the relations of capital and labor, of which Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York ia chairman, presented . lis report. Th commission was -appointed by the gen eral convention of 19C1 to study the pur poses of labor organisations, to Investigate the cause .of Industrial disturbances and to hold themselves In readiness to act as arbitrators should their services be desired. The. repor.tavs that no request lor action as arbitrators has been received and th committee has. not. as yet succeeded in studying incidents common to occasions oi current disturbances. "W are agreed, however," the report says in the conviction that- the causes of th violence ot. the past three years In Pennsylvania, In Colorado and In Illinois are not SO much economical as moral. The strike commonly ( begins In distrust. The reason at the heart of it is that the master has as little confidence in the good of the men a the men have faith in the master. Where distrust and antagonism are wet! founded there Is nothing for It so far as the church is concerned except conversion. - ' lawstranc as to Principles. "We perceive among our clergy and lait? alike nrdch Ignorance (frankly confessed and deplored) as. to the principles which are Involved In tha conflicts of the Indus trial world. Every lndustrl&l dispute In volves three parties ths employer, the em ployed and th public, and the publu eventually coat the deciding vote, Thua a seiidus social resp6nslbillty rests upon every Christian cltlaenr and more especially. upon th Christian "minister. - Wo col. at tention to the analogy between certain of fenses of the union and like Offenses, past or present,' of both-the capitalist and tha churohmen. Thus the employers blacklist corresponds to the unions' boycott and both are - akin to the major excommunication. Th lockout and thi strike are of the same nature. The question of the closed shop I like 'the question of tho closed stata. Men who puritan ancestors strove to maintain a state whose privileges should belong only to members of the church ought to be able to understand the struggle of their brethren to maintain a shop In wbloh no man shall serv except a member of the union. Compare Union, Capita! and Chnrch. They may not agree with these brethren. but they ought to appreciate their self- sacrifice. The laborer has learned from the capitalist to dlsptse order and break law. lie har learned from the churchman to pursue the dissenter with menace and vio lence. The tccent tragedies lr. Colorado do not follow at- a far distance th maxsacre which In tho sixteenth century enkued upon the withdrawal of Holland from the ec clesiastical union.' Whllo, then, we condemn the tyranny and turbulence of the labor union arid call upon th law to preserve th liberty of every cltl- sen to employ whom he will and work for whom he Will, deprecate the party temper which. In condemning the action of the unions, condemns at the same time the whole movement with which they are con nected. The offense of the union ara aa dlHl'n.-t from th cause for which the or gin'satlon of labor stands as tho inquisi tion Is distinct from the gospel. In the face of a prejudice and an hostility for which there are serious reasons, we are con vinced that the organisation of labor Is es sential to the well-being of the working people. Its purpose Is to maintain such a standard of wages, hours and conditions as shall afford every man an opportunity to grow In mind and In-heart. Without: or ganisation the standard cannot be main tained In the midst of our present com mercial conditions. The-report in conclusion condemns, th employment of children in factories and mm. - ... . Th report Is signed by Henry C. Potter, William Lawrence, Charles P. Anderson, R. P. MeKIm, George M. Hodgas. D. C. Wil liam, Samuel Mather and Jacob Rils. The report was accepted and a resolution that ' the commission be continued was adopted by tho house pf bishops. The deputies, after some discussion, voted to appoint a commute to petition congress for separata structures exclusively for di vine worship at army and navy posts. Cosaatraaals Dlvaree CaaanC The divorce question again came up upon th request of Dr. J. Houston Eccleston of Baltimore for unanimous consent to con sider an amendment to tho divorce canon i adopted by th house ot bishops, forbidding th remarriage of any divorced person.

The house of deputies adopted th pro posed canon establishing court of review Under It dioceses are grouped in seven dis tricts, each to hav a court of seven per sons appointed by the general convention.

Mr. Fairbanks said: Senator Fairbanks' Uprerk. In the course of his speech at Brooklyn Senator Fairbanks said: We are to decide at the ballot box In No Vtmber whether to approve or reject the administration of President- Roosevelt. What his administration I we know. We witness Its fruits about us everywhere. ; I'nder It we are enjoying unprecedented , prosperity, in ail the avenues of human ac- ! livity. There is peace and good order at 1 home, and we sustain amicable relations with all the powers of the world. For i more than three years the president has been engsged in the consideration ot prob lems of moment. Whst act of his would ! we undo If we had the power? What Amer ican has more successfully administered our public affairs? Let us be candid about it. Let us not unfairly ludee what hnn been accomplished. We have never hod a. democratic administration under which the people have prospered to ao full a degree as under the administration o President , Roosevelt. Is it the part of national wis- ' dorn to overthrow a successful sdmlnlstra- 1 lion and Invite Into power one Dledued to curry out unwise opposing policies? To do so Is to invite disaster. It Is to make a plaything of the ballpt. The republican party Is essentially a practical party. It addresses Itself to those greai problems which promote the Indus trial and commercial development ot the country. Its policies are essentially peace ful. It makes for the maintenance of rela tions of good neighborhood with all the powers of the earth. It has nromoteri th construction of an Isthmian canal, which Will tend to Increase th national rlpfpn.n and to expand our commerce at home and abroad. Through the Instrumentality of diplomacy we have removed treaty obli gations which stood In the way of con struction of the canal. We have secured tne necessary rlahts and franchises from the Republic of Panama, which will enable us to complete and maintain a canal under the sole authority of the Ignited States. Colombia, through Its accredited minister, negotiated a treaty with the United Siatos granting us the requisite concessions for the construction of the canal, but when the treaty reached Bogota its ratillcation was violently opposed. There were those who felt they could place -the United States under contribution and that thev mold exact additional concessions. They failed to ratiry tne treaty, and the people of the Department of Panama arose In revolu tion. Thev renounced their allea-lanoa In the parent government. American cltlxens snd American Interests at Panama on the line of transit were put In peril. President Roosevelt, acting within our treaty rights and duties, safeguarded the lives and prop erty of American cltisena. Acting within his constitutional nrerosatlve he nrnmntlv recognised the independence of the people of Panama. Other powers promptly recog nised the Independence of the people of Panama. To the deliberate and yet prompt action of the president is due the fact that no blond was shed and we are now enabled to go forward with the construction of the canal, which means much to the future commerce of New York and to other sec tions of the United States, as well as to the commerce of the world. Democratic leaders have been sharp and persistent In their opposition. Every step taken to carry out) the national desire for an Isthmian canal has been antagonized bv them. In due time the Isthmian canal will be com pleted. Through It will pass In stately pro cession for centuries the commerce of the United States and the commerce of the world. The canal Will srtnnd ns a trlhutn tn tha genius and statesmanship of the republican party. To no one will so much credit ba due for the achievement as to President Kooseveit, wno, in a crlt ral hour, foresaw the nation's duty and opportunity.

We have crossed the state SoO mile east and west, three times, and once north and south. visiting seveniy-eigni cities ana towns. At night, at tha larger Dlaces. two senarate meetlnas. The number nt people in attendance at all the meetings is estimatea at tuu.uuo. we nave gone through twenty-eight counties, being -more than half of the countlej in the state, containing about three-fourths of its population. We have been received everywhere with the most respectful attention and In most places with much enthusiasm. Wherever we have had opportunity to confer with local party leaders we have heard of a number of republicans who have announced tneir intention to vote the democratlo ticket. There is no dissatisfaction any where so tar as we have learned, among the democrats and all those who supported McKlnley are now In line again. We be lieve there will be less fraud at the ballot box than heretofore, as the people seem to be determined to have a fair election. The general belief among the party leaders is that the state will go democratic. The candidate will go to Kenova tonight. where his car will be transferred to the Baltimore A Ohio railroad. Tomorrow he will go to Parkersburg, where he will con fer with state leader and attend the Bryan meeting Friday night. It is now his In tention to accompany Mr. Bryan to Charles ton for the meeting there Saturday night, after which he will return to his home at Elkln. The largest crowd encountered by the Davis special during the day was at Wil liamson. Mr. Davis spoke to his listeners longer than usual. In giving reasons why the national democratic ticket should be upported he Bald that the party had en dured for more than 100 years,, that its principles were such as to moke It per petually lasting in a republican form of government and also at every point in Its hlBtory where It had been united, aa at present, It had been successful.
