ADVICE ABOUT DIVORCE
Was Given the Convention by a
Canadian Clergyman.


Canadian Clergyman.
Boston. Oct. s.-The greetings of the
Anglican Church of Canada were
transmitted to the Episcopal general
convention at a brief session to-day by
Right Rev. Charles Hamilton, Bishop
of Ottawa; Right Rev. James Car
michael, Bishop Coadjutor of Mon
treal, and Dean Evans, also of Mon
treal.
Bishop Hamilton thought that the
United States might well adopt some
of the methods of dealing with divorce
which were in vogue in his country,
where the courts which sever mar
riage had little to do
The House of Deputies considered
considered the proposal to permit the
election Of sufrragan bishops in large
dioceses or in localities where there
are large numbers of colored people or
persons of foreign extraction. The
matter was referred to a committee.
The House of Bishops concurred in
discharging the committee on change
of the name of the church.
1t is announced that the divorce
question will be taken up by the con-
vention on Monday.
Richmond,s Va, is favored by many
delegates as the place for the conven-
tion of 1907, and it is understood that
committee, of which J. Pierpont
Morgan is chairman, will recommend
that city. The fund raised by the
woman's auxiliary for the Board of
Missions now amounts to $15O,OOO, the
largest in the church's history.

The ENDING BATTLE HOURLY EXPECTED
GEN. KUROPATkIN HAS 100000 MEN

St. Petersburg, Aug. General Ku-
fopatkin's report of small shifting
movements by the japanese, with
single unimpOrtant skirmish, bringing
the military situation up to August
4, is just about what was expected
by the authorities.
The pause of the past few days is
believed to have been long enough to
enable the Japanese to assume their
formation, bring up supplies, and make
ready for a grand assault upon the
powerful positions girding Lao ang,
and the battle of the war is hourly
expected to occur.
The military authorities do not en-
terrain the slightest doubt of General
KurOpatkin'S ability to repulse an at
tempt to capture and cut off Lao
Yang. The defense there has an i'm
mense advantage, operating within the
small radius of twenty miles, thus en-
aiding General Kuropatkin to rein
force promptly any weak point.
The army at his disposal is estimat-
ed at $50 battalions, besides cavalry
and artillery, altogether not for short
of 100000 men. Only one-third of
this force was engaged in the fighting
of July so and 81 and August 1.
The pick of Kuropatkin's troops, the
newly arrived European regiments, are
stationed at Anping and Anshanshan,

prospect of being helped.

cation, but returned to Washington
at this time on account of the devel-
opments in this cauntry's relations
with Turkey. The whole question was
considered by the president and his
cabinet today, in the light of informa-
ton received by cable from Minis
lister Leischman, at Constantinople.
This government has been pressing
the porte for an answer to our rep
reservations as to the rights of Amer
leans to establish schools and other
educational institutions in the Turkish
empire, and one was promised. Such
rights have been accorded other ma
lions, but have been withheld from
America. After the meeting, Secretary
Hay declined to say, what, if any, de-
cision had been reached.
The situation was regarded as suf-
iciently grave to warrant some change
in the programme that has been form
ed for the movement Of the United
States naval vessels in the Mediter-
ranean. While it was not decided to
stop the home coming of the feet of
big battleships, due at Gibraltar in
day or two, the determination was
reached to have Admiral Jewell, COM

has separated from the battleship
squadron and rs now at Vollefranche,

where the hardest onset is expected to
be made. Some of these regiments
were raised 200 years ago and have
great war records.
Experts at the war Office are dis
cussing the probable course of the i'm
pending operations. They say that the
japanese will try to capture either An
ping or AnShanshan, whence they
will be able to strike Lao Yang, and
think it more likely that Anshanshan
will be selected because that place
is in the line of advance of Generals
Oku's and Nodzu's armies. and must
be captured before an attempt is made
to flank Lao Yang from the westward.
The Russian position at Anshan-
shan is as strong as that at Kinchou.
1t consists of a precipitous barrier
thanked on the eastward by the river
and a marsh, and on the westward by
level plain, and is impossible of ap-
proach by infantry on either side. The
only weak spot is to the westward.
where the Japanese may mount heavy
guns, with longer range than the
Russian pieces and pour in a flanking
fire. 1t is cOnsiderded more probable.

to cut off the former place from Lao

Ardmore, /. T., Aug. 9.-The packing
house strike is having disastrous eff
feet upon the cattle interests in In
dian Territory. Large herds of cattle
cannot be marketed while the strike
is pending, and as a result, stockmen
will suffer heavy financial losses.
Very few cattle have moved and rail-
roads have Cancelled orders for equip
ment, in many cases. The roads show
a disposition, however. to handle all
business, but cattlemen are holding
out in the hope that the strike will
soon end and ttat the market will soon
be on normal basis. Already cattle
men have lost a good deal of money.
In some instances there have been
shipments. but these were made neces-
sary by the fact that the banks and
commission companies were pressing
cattle owners and again the uncertain
ty of the strike had much to do with
these shipments.
