DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
Ill Franc** the Innocent IV.rty .liny lie

She Han Given,
“There arc many curious and inter
esting facts regarding the marriagi
and divorce laws of foreign countries,’
said R. J. Brown, who, reports the In
(iiananolis News, recently returnee
from a trip abroad, where he made s
study of the question.
"Breaches of promise are averted it
Hungary by an express declaration o
the civil marriage act (1S95) that tht
relations created by a betrothal do no
give the right to command the con
.fusion of a marriage, but if eithei
party withdraws from an engagemen
without just reasons he or she i
bound to grant compensation to tht
ixtent of the outlay incurred. Divorct
•a the English sense does not exist
nit the lourts can decree the persona
eparation of a married couple with
out dissolving the bonds of matrimony
"A curious law prevailing in France
provides that, before being married
thilc.ren of n family, although ovei
ige, shall seek in respectful and forma,
erms the advice of their father and
mother. It makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent of parents, is
■riven, for the couple can be married s
month al'icr under any circumstances
This Is also the case in the Nether
lands.
"A divorce further entitles the in
nocent party to recover .all the pres
ents he or she may have made.
“According to the constitution of tht
Netherlands, the civil marriage nntsl
llways precede the religious ceremony
The latter, indeed, is left entirely tc
he conscience of the parties concerned
Tht re is alto a law providing that nc
man or woman under 30 can marrj
without (he consent of parents. If the
-onsent be refused the couple have tc
appear bef-.ro a judge, who advise,
them as he thinks best.
"Many countries have now abolished
all marriage fees. This is the case In
Norway, while In the Netherlands cer
tain days in the week are set apari
■vhen persons may he married without
payment."

BEAUPREAT lOLON;
Admiral Coghlan’s Friendly
Visit to Bolivar’s Governor.
COLOMBIAN WARSHIP RUNS ASHORE
—
Naval Coinmnnilcr, VinltlnK Cartapfe
11a to llriut? Our Minister to € o
lon. In Kccolu'd Without Any
Display of Hostility.
COT.OX, lice. 20.—Admiral Coghlan’s
flagship, the cruiser Olympia, has ar
rived hero from Cartagena bringing A.
M. Beaupre, United States minister to
Colombia, and Mrs. Beaupre. When
Minister and Mrs. Beaupre arrived at
Cartagena from Bogota they at oueo
boarded the Olympia, and she sailed
immediately for Colon. Minister Beau
pre sails for New York on the steamer
Yucatan today.
The reception of the Olympia at Car
tagena was friendly. The naval au
thorities here received instructions from
Washington oh Christmas day not to
send tlie cruiser Atlanta, the converted
cruHser Mayflower and tlie gunboat
Castino to Cartagena with the Olympia,
us previously projected.
The Olympia therefore sailed for Car
tagena alone at daybreak and arrived
off the Boca Cliicha entrance to the big
lagoon on which Cartagena is situated
early in the morning. As the Olympia
ran in toward the entrance she descried
the Colombian cruiser Cartagena four
miles distant, making every effort to
reach the entrance and to pass into the
lagoon ahead of the Olympia, which
she succeeded in doing.
The Olympia steamed slowly to the
tortuous entrance between two o!d
Spanish forts, which wore apparently
deserted, and found that the Colom
bian cruiser had taken up a position a
the entrance. It was learned subse
quently tli&t the Cartagena had
grounded there and that later she was
towed into port.
Tlie Olympia passed tlie Colombian
warsl'.ip and proceeded to Cartagena,
which is eight miles from the entrance.
Anchoring about a mile from the
town, the Olympia hoisted the Colom
bian iiag at her main and iired a salute
of twenty-one guns. Shortly thereaft
er (lie Colombian battery at the edge
of the town returned the salute.
Admiral Coghlan then arranged to
pay an official visit to Ur. Jose Insi
giiares, the governor of Bolivar, which
lie did in tlie afternoon, accompanied
by Captain Harrison G. <>. Colby. Both
officers were in full dress uniform.
Admiral Coghlan and Governor Insi
gnares exchanged tlie regulation for
malities, the crowd listening attentive
ly. The governor said he would return
the visit immediately, whereupon Ad
miral Coghlan and Ids party returned
to the Olympia.
In tlie'nfternoon Governor Insisruares.
accompanied by a numerous retinue,
boarded the Olympia for tlie return
visit and remained for some time be
fore tlie Olympia sailed for Colon.
On the governor and ids retinue dis
embarking the Olympia iired a govern
or’s salute of seventeen guns and im
mediately thereafter hoisted anchor
and steamed out of the lagoon.
While Admiral Coghlan and other
Americans were treated civilly and
courteously, and, while llicir visit was
not marked by tlie slightest unpleasant
or untoward incident, it was evident
that the authorities at Cartagena were
not glad to see tlie Olympia and were
very glad when she took her departure.
Admiral Coghlan was careful to leave
at the soonest possible moment, evi
dently remembering the absolute loy
alty of tlie department of Bolivar to
tlie Bogota government.
Comparatively little information as
to tlie general situation could lie gain
ed at Cartagena. There are probably
3,500 troops there, and there are re
ported to be 5,000 at Barranqullla. Tlie
government Is doubtless slowly concen
trating troops at Barranquilla and
moving them toward Titumati in small
numbers. There are probably 1.200
Colombians at Titumati and vicinity
now. and this number is gradually be
ing increased.
Minister Bcaupre had a good trip
down tlie Magdalena river and was
greativ gratified to llml the Olympia
at Cartagena on his arrival. The Bo
gotan authorities extended every cour
tesy to the minister, who left Bogota
iu a special train and was carried
down tlie river on a special steamer.
He made the trip from Bogota to Car
tagena in seven days.
Minister Beaupre emphatically de
clined to talk of the political condi
tions.
Mr. Beaupre is going home on a leave
of absence which lias long been de
ferred. He said lie thought that any
trouble between the United States and
Colombia was improbable and that the
Americans in Colombia, of whom there
were very few, there being only about
ten in Bogota and some prospectors in
Antloquia and other places, were ia nc
danger of molestation.
