2 QUESTIOH OF DIVORCE Present Canons on Subject of Re-marriage Stand, THE FAUDE AMENDMENT IT IS THE HUNTINGDON AMEND MENT IN BRIEFER FORM. WILL GO TO -DIOCESES FOR ACTION And Must be Passed by Next General Conven tion Before Becoming Operative. Pre amble to the Constitution is Adopted. Washington, Oct. 17. —Important ac tion was taken by the respective bodies of the Episcopal Council here to-day on two subjects which have caused much discussion during the deliberations of those bodies. The House of Bishops in secret session by a vote of ill to 24 re jected proposition bearing on the sub ject of the remarriage of divorced i>er sons designed to take the place of those now in existence. The present canons on the subect therefore remain in force. In the House of Deputies, after a de bate which has continued for several days, a step in the direction of church unity was taken. The discussion on the subject was precipitated by the uoffering of an amendment to the constitution by Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New York. While agreeing with the principle of this the Deputies finally decided to adopt a briefer amendement offered by Mr. Faude, of Minnesota, as follows: “But provision may be made by canon for tin- temporary use of other forms and directories of worship by congregations not already in union with this church, who are willing to accept the spiritual oversight of the Bishop of the diocese." The amendment if adopted by the Bishops will go to the dioceses for ac tion, and must lx* passed by the next general convention before it becomes op erative. Several resolutions of interest were presenuted this morning at the meeting of the House of Deputies. A MEMORIAE CHURCH. Rev. Dr. Stuck, of Dallas, Texas, offered a resolution providing for the ap pointment of a joint committee of depu ties and bishops to consider ways and means for the erection of a memorial chapel at Jamestown, Va„ where the first church of the Angelican denomina tion on this continent was established The resolution is the outcome of the visit of the delegates to Jamestown last Saturday. Referred. A resolution offered by Rev. Mr. Nel son. of Western New Y'ork, was adopted providing that future meetings of the council so far as practicable should be held in consecrated buildings. The council then took up the special order—the consideration of the amend ment to the constitution offered by Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New Y'ork, on the question of church unity. Rev. Mr. Faude, of Minnesota, offer ed a substitute for the Huntington amendment which seemed to satisfy Dr. Huntington, who. under the rules was given the privilege of (dosing the debate. He declined -to delay the vote, however, merely saying lie wished to express his thanks to Almighty God for the out come. The substitute then was formally adopted as an addition to article 10 o. the constitution, the vote standing ayes clerical 55. lay 51: noes clerical, 1: lay 4, and divided, clerical, 2. ARTICLE 11 AGREED TO. Article 11 as proposed by the cimmit tee on amendments to the constitution led to a long debate. It deals with al terations and amendments to the con stitution, and as explained by Chair man Dix proposed no revolutionary changes. It was agreed to. The bishops to-day named Messrs. Dudley, of Kentucky, and Hall of Ver mont, as fraternal delegates to attend the next session of the General Synod of England in Canada. The bishops concurred in the action of the House of Deputies setting apart the northern third of Indiana as a new diocese and also proposed to the depu ties the setting apart of the lower third o the State as a missionary jurisdiction. Article <! of the proposed new consti tution as passed by the House of Depu ties was agreed to with an amendment providing for the retrocession of terri tory ceded to Ihe general convention by a diocese. The disposition of Article 11 conclud ed the first gene a 1 consider it .on by tV deputies of the amendments to the con stitution and after recess th.i* bodv re smiled debate, begun late in the morn ing, on the-report of the amendment committee on such as have been passed over or sent back for reconsideration. FAITH IN THE SCRIPTURES. Article 1. reported by the committee in place of that rejected by the deputi w earlier in the session of the council, was considered. Before the actual considera tion of tin* article began a large discus sion ensued on a proposition by Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New York, who of sered a preamble to tin* constitution af firming the church’s faith in the Holy Scriptures as containing all things neces sary to salvation. The princinh* of this proposed amendment met the views of many of the delegates, but at the same time was abjeeted to by others. After changes in the phraseology it .vas finally adopted as follows: “This church solemnly affirms that it believes tin* Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the word of God and to contain all things necessary to salvation, and adheres to the faith of the Holy Catholic church as *-*t forth in the Apostles creed and ho Nicene Creed.” The vote stood by orders: Clerical ayes, 51; nays, 13; divided, 13. Lay. ayes, 29; nays, 20 and divided. <*. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. The presiding officer. Delegate Pack ard, of Maryland, announced that the preamble had been carried, and then the deputies proceeded to the examina tion of other business, when Dr. Mallory, of Milwaukee, raised the point of order that this ruling was incorrect inasmuch as only twenty-nine of the fifty-eight delegates had voted for it contrary to the constitution which required a ma jority. The chairman thereupon reversed his ruling, but Mr. Stetson, of New York, appealed from the decision, and this was pending when the deputies ad journed. The deputies concurred in the action of the Bislu ps in selecting Rev. Samuel Hart, D. I).. as Historiographer of the church in the United States to till the position formerly occupied by the late Bishop Perry. By the decisive vote of 31 to 24 the 1 louse of Bishops today decided not to agree to a general canon on the sub ject of re-marriage of divorced persons. The matter was made the subject of special consideration by the Bishops for tins afternoon’s session and that body continued its meeting until nearly <1 o'clock before disposing of it. It can now only bo taken up by a two-thirds vote. The debate in the House of Bish ops today was entirely, with the excep tion of a single section originating with the Bishop of Georgia, on the outline of tin* form of a canon reached after the debate in the previous sessions. WHAT IS HER FUTURE? Walter L. Gaboon's Question Which is to be Answered on The Bth of November for Weal or Woe. Nashville. N. G., October 17.—(Spe cial.) —“Glorious is her past, but what is her future?" These were the words used by the finest speaker that has yet visited Nash county. Walter L. Gaboon made one of the most interesting and instructive speeches ever made in the interest of Democracy at Nashville. N. C., on Monday. Coining from the east he was able to tell of the awful condition of affairs in that section ns a result of Fusion. He briefly re viewed the past of North Carolina and compared it with the present. He further explained that the people had no animosi ty for the negro, but said he is incompe tent to rule over the white man. After carefully reviewing the awful ef forts of negro rule in the East he made a strong and pathetic appeal to the Populists to come back to the fold of Democracy and restore the glorious old State of North Carolina to Its formei condition of good and competent govern ment.

A FEATURE OF THE FAIRj THE SIMPSON SHIELDS SHOE COMPANY ENGAGES SPACE North Carolina’s On'y Exclusive Sroe House and cne cf our Lead'ng Ve'cantile Establishments. Mr. Shields, of the Simpson-Shields Shoe Company, of Greensboro, is in the city. Mr. Shields came down to secure space for making an exhibit at the ap proaching State Fair. He secured good space and proposes to make one of the handsomest exhibits of ladies’, men’s footwear that has ever been seen not only in the State, but in the South. The exhibit will be in charge of Mr. Fields, one of the active managers of the firm, and he will be aided by Messrs. M. I). Hong. J. J. McGohlrick and Herman Jones, three of the popular traveling salesmen of tin* establishment. It is to be one of the most interesting ex hibits at the State Fair, and will be a striking manifestation of the enter prise and go-ahend-ative-uessof this stir ring firm. The Simpson-Shields Shoe Company came from Tennessee to the city of Greensboro in April, 1897, and opened in Greensboro an extensive es tablishment for the sale of shoes exclus ively at wholesale. They had made up their minds that an exclusive wholesale shoe house in North Carolina could he made successful and the result has prov en that they were wise men in their day and generation. They have had the gratification of seeing the little business they started less than two years ago grow into a great big establishment. They have added traveling salesman after traveling salesman until today they have five men continuously on the road. They have seen their business steadily, grow until it has outgrown the commo-j dious building in which they started i and forced them to begin tin* erection! in Greensboro of one of tin* largest and handsomest business houses ever erect ed in the State—n granite front, five story building, fifty-two foot wide and provided with all the conveniences of a , modern commercial building. They have soon the few patrons they started out; with grow into more than sixteen hun dred merchants, who today trade with them. They have seen <licit* sales of 82.723 during April. 1897. grow into the sum of .$10.924 during April. 1898. They have swelled their May. 1897, sales off ,$3,845 to .$38,347 in May. 1898, and they have increased their sales of June, I 1897, of $5,(587 to nearly seven times that amount in June, 1898, and all this means something. It means that these gentlemen know how to do the shoe business. It means that they not only j know how to sell shoes, but they know ! how to buy shoes, and it proves that, grit, determination, fair, honest deal ing and hard work will win in North Carolina and build up lien* as well as j elsewhere as successful a wholesale es tablishment as can be conducted any where. The Simpson-Shields Company have on the road, besides Messrs. Hong, McGoldrick and Jones, Messrs. Frank H. Neal and W. H. Watkins, Jr., and all of these are competent, hustling and successful salesmen. Their exhibit at the Fair will be complete and an object.' lesson for North Carolinians to be hold.

' INTERVIEW WITH AGONCILLO. j Thinks We Should Hold all The Philip pines or None. Paris, October 17.—Philippe Agoneillo, the representative of Aguinaldo, was in terviewed to-day by the correspondent here of the Associated Press. Agoncil lo’s apartments at the Hotel Continental arc on tin* same floor as the rooms occu pied by tin* United States peace commis sioners. He is desirous of seeing the com missioners and placing Aguinaldo s views of the future of the Philippines before them. “Would the Filippinos accept annexa tion or a protectorate of the United States?” Agoneillo was asked. “We want independence,” he an swered. “but the Filipinos have a recog nized government, of which Aguinaldo is president, and it will determine out atti tude toward a protectorate or annexa tion.” “Should the United States take afl or any part of th(* Philippine islands would the Filipinos fight tin* United States as they have fought Spain?” “I cannot answer without possible er ror: but I think it would be unwise for the United States to divide the Philippine Islands. They should take all or none.” “If the United States gives up the Philippine Islands, will the Filipinos con tinue to fight the Spanish?” “I think so.” “Is is true the Filipinos do not object, to tin* continuance of thi* native priests?” “Yes. but the religious orders should he abolished.” Agoneillo, says he has not come here to seek a hearing before the commission, but to learn the determination of the commis sioners regarding tin* Philippine Islands and to communicate it to Aguinaldo. Agoneillo. thus far, has not communica ted with our commission; and the* Span ish commission, while unwilling, to sum mon Agoneillo, is exceedingly anxious to know what representations, if any, he will-make to the Americans.
