The Rev. Mr. Hoag considered that
there were some instances where it
was proper to perform the marriage
service in case where the parties have
been 'divorced.
He said that Christ had mentioned
one thing that disrupted the marriage
tie, and there were, said the speaker,
other things that also disrupt the tie.
As an instance he spoke of the loving
and cherishing wife who is beaten and
starved by a brutal S husband, whose
promises have been broken. In such a
case, he said, the conscience of human
ity revolted that an innocent woman
who had borne ¦vrith such a husband
when freed should . suffer the unde
served penalty of the loss of two things
most: dear, to .true' womanhood — home
and motherhood. .
He held that divorce may be granted
on any ground that plainly defeats
the end for which marriage 'is insti
tuted: that the innocent party should
be restored to the position occupied
before marriage, and that the cure for
the divorce evil is to be found in edu
cation, andinot in legislation.
There are two general causes, he sug
gested, which lead^to divorce— first, the
lack of sanctity- toward the marriage
bond, and. second, the lack of a knowl
edge of duties the parties owe one to
the other. There is nothing wrong with
the law, he said, but the trouble is in
the abuse of the law.

was occupied by the various Bishops,
who related their experiences and re
ported the amount of work done in
their respective fields.

At the conclusion of the morning ses

convention will figure of great import
ance, still the more interesting portion
of the convention is yet to come. Bish

to arrive within the next few days, and
it is expected that they will have some
interesting reports to make.
Among those looked for are Bishop
Morre from China, Bishop Warne from

from India and Bishop Hartzell from
Africa,

prominent Methodists -of the ;city re
paired to the large banquet hall, wher»i,
the supper was served. The large room

of music were heard above the babble
of many voices. ....:,.;;..-.

sentiment being toward leaving the or

In New Zealand, happily, labor troubles are
a Uiir.s: of the past. We have an arbitration
act which works admirably. In no country U
the worker so enviably circumstanced, and the
capitalist Is encouraged and protected to an
extent that has brought about Idf-al conditions
for the two great factors In economic progress.
That reminds me that as soon as the New

pletely finished, as It •will be in a very short

in Australia has been exaggerated, and that

the position cf- tbe Labor party, and. unfortu
nately, rtr-es much harm, for Australia is a

T. E. Donne, who is to be the official
representative of the New Zealand Gov
ernment at the St. Louis Exposition, ar
rived from Auckland on the steamship
Sierra yesterday. Mr. Donne is a dis
tinguished official and one of the most
popular citizens in all Maoriland, still
on the sunny side of 40. alert, bright
and keenly observant, broad in mind
and sympathy— in fact, the very man
to find the best features of any country
and readily enhance them for the bene
fit of his own. To-day he leaves for St.
Louis. When seen at the St. Francis
he had already seen a good deal of the
city and formed enthusiastic opinions
as to its enterprise and attractions. He
said:
My stay in America will be for fime months,
ae I don't ratjn to ro home until I have got a
very good Mea of the whole continent. In
deed, I may say that one of the objects of my
visit Is to frtudy the most up-to-date details of
travel and tour development in this country,
bo that nothing may he left undone to secure
the complete eornfnrl of the' thousands of tour
ists that are now flocking to New Zealand.
The pass*>nK*>rt= on the Sl«?rra Included scores
of Americans' that had been paying their first
visit to this wonderland of the south, and
their enthusiastic determination to return there
again wlth.thvir friends was a matter of great
gratification to us New Zealanders. who are so
justly proud of the colony's fcenic marvels
and social development. I am glad to tee that
on our Fide there is no lack of appreciation for
America and its creat people, and even, now it
is Impossible to get any accommodation on
any Oceanic steamer for the next three months
so heavy has been the booking of New
Zealanders ond Australians for the St. Louis
Exposition.
In New Zealand we have always been great

tion: "A bona-flde present inten
tion of supporting the nominee of the
Republican party at the next ensuing
election."
There was a complete collapse of the
Hearst boom in Los Angeles last week.
A prominent Democrat, writing from
that city, says: "I tell you that the
majority here are against Hearst. They
will not forget his treatment of . Lane,
as they spent a great deal of money in
Lane's campaign. Tarpey was here,
but did not show up at theclub. Mayor
Snyder came out for Hearst because
Buck's Little Paris was being attacked
by the churches and the Times led the
fight and they are closed up for good."
NEW ROOSEVELT CLUB.
g The Democrats of San Francisco ara
manifesting very little Interest in the
approaching State convention of their
party. The war horses of the interior
are prancing and plunging. There will
be some high kicking at Santa Cruz on
May 16 if Mr. Tarpey. and others at
tempt to bind the delegates from Cali
fornia to support Hearst in the St.
Louis convention.- The sentiment in
favor of sending an uninstructed dele
gation to the National Democratic
Convention is spreading. Several of
the party leaders that were counted on
to support the Hearst candidacy are
now strong against instruction.
KICKING AT SANTA CRUZ.
The State committee for the Pres
idential year will be selected at the
May convention in order that ample
time may be given to organize the
Republican forces throughout the
State. The delegates to be elected at
the ' August primary will probably
convene early in- September at Sac
ramento, San Jose or Santa Cruz and
by that time the Presidential battle
will be active all along the line.
Mention is made of John F. Davis of
Amador, Colonel E. W. Forbes of Yuba
and Judge A. G. Burnett of Sonoma for
chairman of the May State convention
of Republicans. There are no indica
tions of a sharp contest. The chairman,
whoever he may be, will probably be
authorized by the convention to name
an executive committee to conduct the
campaign and this committee will elect
a chairman and secretary. It is under
stood that General George Stone, who
conducted the campaign four years
ago, which resulted in 40,000 majority
in California for McKinley, is willing
to lend his services for another term.
Charles H. Spear, president of the Har
bor Commission, is spoken of as an
available man for chairman of the
committee.
The State convention of Republicans
to assemble at Sacramento on May 18
will simply choose delegates to the
Republican national convention and
select a new State Central Committee.
The most important primary election
of the year will be held on the second
Tuesday of next August The dele
gates at that election will nominate
Presidential electors. Representatives
in Congress, Senators, Assemblymen
and Judges.
TIME TO ORGANIZE.
The Republicans of San Francisco
are making preparations for the pri
mary election next Tuesday. Last
night'in several of the Assembly dis
tricts where factional, differences for
merly existed harmony was secured.
All factions have been recognized in
the make-up of district delegations to
the State convention.
The regular tickets, will be filed in
the office of the Registrar of Voters
before 12 o'clock to-night. The names
so filed will be printed on the tally
sheets for the convenience of the elec
tion officers. Names, other than those
printed on the tally sheet may be
voted for on election day.
The first • move in what promises to
be a bitter legal strug-gle over the es
tate of Franklin Hajrwood, the late
president of the Gualala Mill Company,
was made yesterday, when Agnes M.
Hay wood, the adopted daughter of the
deceased, filed an opposition to the pe
tition of Haywood's widow for a set
ting apart to her of the family resi
dence at 1430 Hayes street, the distri
bution to her of the furniture contained
therein and for a monthly allowance of
$500. Joined with Agmes M. Haywood in
her opposition are the brothers of the
deceased.
The filing- of the opposition to Mrs.
Haywood simply means that the other
heirs of the deceased will oppose any
move she may make to get any more
of her husband's estate than is allowed,
h'er.in' the will, viz.: a monthly income
of $150 and what she obtained when in
July, 1890, when she and Haywood sep
arated, she signed a separation agree
ment, waiving by her signature any
right to Haywood's estate except that
right granted her In the agreement, a
monthly allowance of $150.
The existence of this agreement is set
forth In the opposition, and Is made
the base of the opposition. The peti
tion came up for hearing before Judge
Kerrigan yesterday, but was put over
for two weeks, the litigants not being
prepared to go into the case.
