Justice Francis Jesune in London Divorce
Court Declds Against Heir Validity
Qiirnllnn Arose III lloMtiton v I llob
IIIHUII ItrcrcoulDivorce Having
llcea l ftccurcd Cullfornlii
New York Nov 9 A case Involving
the question of the validity of American
divorces under the English law has Just
been heard before Sir Francis Jeanne
In the divorce court says the Heralds
London represennlvc It was the case
of Robinson vs Robinson
Petition was made by Ethel Gertrude
Robinson otherwise Strickland that
her marriage with Ernest Robinson
should be declared Invalid
Atty W A Barnard said the petition
er went through the form of marriage
with tho respondent on May 2 15n In
Christ church Westminster
rise respondent left his wife In 1S9S
and Inquiries then made showed that he
had been married In 1878 to a Miss
Ilawtrey in Hampton church
In 1870 he went to America nnd stayed
there with his wife until HS3 when he
returned to England He remained In
England until down to the time when
he went through the ceremony of mar
riage with the petitioner
In 1S87 the first marrIage was dis
solved tho superior court In the state
of California
The Judge decided that It was clear
according to the marriage law of Eng
land that the divorce grnntctd In the
state of California was not valid Had
It been granted wlillo the respondent
was domiciled In America It would have
been binding There was no doubt that
the second marriage was not a valid
marriage and the Judge granted a de
cree to that effect with costs for the
Judgment to the petitioner accordingly

Will lliiMiun titnlilcr Over tile
llaiicliiirlun Treaty
New York Nov 9The story which
describes the Russian minister at Pe
kin as trying to force LI Hung Chang
to sign the Manchurlnn agreement on
hlsdcath bed Is possibly not true says
the Tribunes London leprescntutlvo
but It is regarded In Great Britain as
highly characteristic of Russian meth
ods In the far cast English newspapers
welcome thl apolntmcnt of Yuan Bhl
Kal us the viceroy of ChlLI He Is
credited with being nullRussian and Is
confidently expected to prove a great
Improvement on his predecessor from a
British point of view
CAUSE OF LI HUNGS DEATH
Pekln Nov 8A Iolent dispute
with Paul Lessor Russian minister to
China over the Mnnchutlar tteaty
appears to Imvo been the immediate
cause of the death of LI Hung Chung
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan fcr
a moment to frustrate the designs of
Russia A the
fortnight ago Japnnese
legation secured 1 reliable outline of
the terms of the treaty and there
upon demanded that the Chinese pleni
potentiaries officially lay before tnem
the text basing this demand Upon the
allegation that Jdpnncsu interests
were Involved in any change of the
status of Manchuria Tlio Chinese
plenipotentiaries rclvsed to comply
with the demand
Thereupon the Japanese govern
ment from Toklo communicated with
the southern viceroys und Induced them
to use their Intluence with the em
jness dowager against the treaty In
the meantime the empress dowager
empess
Instructed LI Hung Chang to comma
nlcnte the treaty after certain modlll
cntlons to the ministers of the powers
and If they did not object to sign
the same
LI Hung Chang visited M r
and explained to him his Instructions
The Russian minister strongly objected
to revealing the text of the treaty to
the ministers of the other powers and
a stormy Interview ensued LI Hung
Chang welt home In a violent passion
nnd had a hemorrhage which the doc
tors attributed to the over exertion of
a weakened system
While these timings were happening In
Pekln the southern viceroys Kent to
the empress dowager a memorial
against the treaty On receiving It she
telegraphed to I Hung Chang comm
termandlng the order to sign This In
structlon came after LI HunS Chang
had become unconscious
When M Lessar endeavored to have
LI Hung Changs seal nflixed to the
treaty the provincial treasurer had
arrived from Pno Ting Fu and had
taken charge of the seals as the tern
iwrary successor of Earl LI
The Hag of the United States lega
ton was the only one halfmasted In
Pekln today
The mourners nnd the family of LI
Hung Chan will burn paper offerings
tomorrow In accordance with the cus
tom for the use of his spirit In the
other world The street Is hung with
mourning emblems All the attend
ants at the yamcn are richly attired
rlehl
and many of them gaudily dressed To
day muslclana beat drums about the
house
LI Hung Changs estate wIll remain
Intact for the use of his eldest son
who will provide for tho other members
