BISHOPS DISCUSSED
GROWTH OF DIVORCES.
Declared 1t to BE a Serious Menace
to the Country.

Declared Ii to Be Serious Menace
to the Country.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Arraignment
of the increasing number of divorces
and unlawful marriages in the Unit
ed States was the feature of the fourth
days session of the Pam American
Conference of Bishops. The subject
was introduced by Bishop Doane in a
paper advocating closer cognizance by
the church of what he declared was a
distressing condition of affairs. AS
many of the bishops have varying
views on the policy of the church re-
garding the remarriage of divorced
persons, the discussion precipitated
was an animated one. The Bishop of
Toronto also read a paper on divorces.
Bishop Doane, in his address, de-
clared that the increase of divorces
had become a serious menace to the
country. He took the ground that di-
vorce with remarriage can be allowed
by the church only in case of the in
recent party to divorce granted for
adultery.
Bishop Doane said that where there
is the least doubt upon a question of
this vital Importance, moral. religious
and social, the act of mercy is to safe
guard the sanctity of marriage against
any possible dissertation"

"Man Behind the Desk" He Says,
Deserves Much Praise.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Gen Corbin,
who leaves Washington tomorrow and
assumes command of the Department
of the East on Monday, to-day issued
an address to the officers and employees
of the Adjutant Generals department,
of which he has been chief for about
six years. He speaks of coming into
the office just in time to meet the re-
sponsibilities incident to a foreign war
and adds: Il was fortunate in hav-
ing the aid of the best assistants and
a most competent clerical force" He
quotes the commentator of the Dodge
Commission of his department, and
adds:
There is little glory ever given the
man behind the desk and yet, if his
work is not well done. no army can
be efficient. The man behind the desk
in a sense enlists. pays, transports,
mounts, arms, equips, feeds and pro-
Vides surgical and medical treatment
for the men behind the guns. That
you with the other staff departments,
did your full share in this great work
of creating the army that acquitted
itself in the war with Spain with so
much honor is now history This work,
when once fully understood, will be
appreciated"

WAR SEEMS LIKELY
II the Reports From the East Are to
BE Accepted.

BE Accepted.
London, Oct 24.-In a dispatch to
the Daily Mail the correspondent of
that paper at Yokohama reiterates
statement made Oct. 10 that the Rus
slams are terrifying Yongampho and
declares that to-day he has authentic
information that they have built a fort
and are preparing to mount heavy
guns there.
The Japanese government, the CORE
spondent continues, is comforting with
representatives of all Japanese rail-
roads with a view to effecting the most
speedy mobilization of the army when
ever it becomes necessary.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Daily Mail says in a dispatch that
Japan has warned China that she will
occupy some points in Chinese terri
tory if Russia fails to evacuate Man
churia.
Heretofore the underwriters at
Lloyds have taken an optimistic view
of the situation in the Far East Since
yesterday, however the insurance
rates to the Far East, covering all
risks if war is declared within three
months, have been doubled.
The correspondent of the Times at
Seoul cables that the British and Jap
anese ministers there continue to press
the Korean government to open Yong
ampho as treaty port in order to neu-
tralize Russia's present exclusive COM
mercial facilities. The Korean For
eign Minister, the correspondent adds,
expresses complete willingness to COM
ply with these requests, but his at
tempts in this direction are negatived
by the Emperor, who, in a state of
apprehension because of the conflicting
foreign demands, shuts himself up in
his palace and refuses to sanction any
proposal.

meet what emergencies may arise, and
that so far as the association could
ascertain none of the banks in the vi
cinity of Pittsburg would require as
sistance, has had the effect of allay-
ing all uneasineSs.
In addition to this emergency fund,
100000 has been received by James w.
Patterson, president of the Pittsburg,
Carnegie and Western Railroad for
immediate deposit in anticipation of
the improvements under construction

houses were visited yesterday. Esti-
mating that each house contained
about eight persons, he said that 4,250
900 persons had received the divine

attended by about 5000 persons. Dowie
talked on What a Christian Should Do

Christian became i'll he should go to
the elders of the church for relief, and
| not to physician. He criticised de-
cision of the New York Court of APP

sponsible for a child's death because
there was no physician in attendance.
Dowie said he would carry the case,
if necessary, to the Supreme Court of
