lEpiscopalians Favoring Rig- i'd Divorce Laws Minor ity Report on Subject De- featedWant Better Ob- servance of Lords Day.

Boston, Oct 2O.-The forces favoring a rigid divorce canon in the Episcopal church and those who oppose them were present in full strength at the forenoon session of the house of depu- ties to-day. an agreement having been reached yesterday to consider the ls- sue and settle it, if possible, for the present. The contest came before the deputies again on the question of concurring with a resolution adopted by the house of bishops forbid ding the re-marriage of "the innocent party" in divorce for infidelity, the only marriage of divorced persons that has been allowed in the church. The action of the bishops was met yes terday by the committee on canons in the house of deputies which proposed as a compromise an amendment for bidding re e-marriage within one year after the granting of a decree by the civil court and compelling clergymen to examine the court records before performing the ceremony.
 The members of the house of bish- ops attended a celebration of the holy cofnmunion this forenoon in St Paul 8 church, and immediately afterwards began balloting for a missionary bishop to have oversight of the Eng lish-speaking people in Mexico.
 At a missionary conference of the woman's auxiliary of the board of missions in Pierce hall, addresses were made by Bishops Cameron Mann of North Dakota, Sidney C.. Partridge of Kyote. Japan, and Frederick w.. Keator of Olympia, Washington.
 At the opening of the house of depu- ties, Rev Dr George Hedges of Cam bridge. chairman of the committee on Christian education, read a report which indicated that Christian educa- ton was making remarkable progress.
 The committee on Christian unity in a brief report expressed the opinion that nothing further could be done at present, under the committees in structions. and an enlargement of it's powers was considered desirable The house adopted a resolution instructfng the committee to seek the cooperation of the other religious bodies in the proper observance of the Lords day, in preserving the sanctitv of mar riage, in the religious education of children and on other matters which would bring about a better under standing.
 No action at this time was recon mended by the majority of the cont mission on prohibited degrees in mar riage, but q minority report signed by Bishop Leighton Coleman of Delaware included resolution asking that the table of prohibited degrees in the Church of England be binding upon clergymen of the American church. The minority report was defeated and the recommendation of the majority accepted
 The house of deputies this afternoon adopted by large majority the com promise resolution on the divorce question, by which the innocent party in a divorce for adultery may re- marry after one year on the presenta- ton of satisfactory evidence of the fact.

AWAITING THE NEXT MOVE
Operations at Standstill Below nukden-Tokios Re- port Made in Such Way as to Let Him
 Down Easy-Japs Say Down Armies

St Petersburg, Oct 20 Q p. m.)-The suspension of operations below Muk- den continues. It is hinred in military circles that the next developments should be looked for eastward, but whether on the part of the Japanese or Russians is not revealed.
 No news has reached the war office of the reported annihilation of Rus- sian battalion while recrossing the Taitse river.
 A dispatch from General Sakharoff, dated last night, reports that all was quiet along the front yesterday and that iii spite of the soggy condition of the country roads, which are de- scribed as seas of mud, the Russian scouts continue to show great enter prise in examining the Japanese posi- tions. A detachment of POO Cossacka Tuesday night reconnoirered the Jap anese left southwestward along a line extending westward from the railroad where it crosses the Schili river. through the villages of Haitsantai, Tadousampu and Sandepu, the latter fifteen miles west of the railroad. The Japanese sentries fired and retired as the Cossacks rode rapidly along the line, but near Sandepu the CossackS unexpectedly ran into q good sized Japanese TOrce, WlLn macnlHe guns. The latter opened murder0us fire on the Russians, killing many horses and mortally wounding Captain Turgenien, but all the Cossacks succeeded in get ting away. Not one was killed on the field.
 No statement is made as to what is transpiring on the Russian left.
 The war office is now disposed to believe that the Tokio report of the drubbing given to General Yamada's s brigade is the Japanese version of the capture of Lone Tree hill, nicely turned to minimize it's importance.
 The reports that Generals Rennen- kampff and Meyendorff are wounded are denied The formers chief of staff, Colonel Rossisky, was wounded.

NO ANXIETY FELT.

New York, Oct 20. The local agents of the Spanish Royal Mail steamer Buenos Ayres, which has been report ed more than three days overdue at Havana, said to-day that they feel no apprehension regarding the vessels safety. They explain that the fact that she is overdue is not at all re- markable in view of the extremely se- were weather which has prevailed for several days along the southern coast. When the Buenos Ayres sailed from this port October 13 she had on board POI passengers. Among them were fifteen Spanish toreadors bound for Vera Cruz, who were to take part in the annual championship bull fighting contests in leading Mexican cities.

PBACE NOT IN sIGHr.

St Petersburg, Oct 20 (7:55 a. m.) The Novoe Vremya this morning, deprecating the renewed talk of for eign intervention in the Russo-Japan- ese war, says:
 "Such talk, If based upon the fact that now and again the voicing of an urgent desire for peace is heard in Russia, must reflect the marvellous ignorance of or indifference on the part of foreigners to Russia's true ln> ternal condition. The fact is that Tn Russia, as in other countries, there are several parties; two of these want peace-the extreme reactionaries, be- cause they constitute what was known in the United States during the Span ish- American war, and in England during the Boer war, as peace at any price men, and the ultra radicals, be- cause they are in favor of a humiliat- ing peace which would weaken the present government. But these parties are insignificant beside the great body of moderate progressives, who wish to see Russia's interior economical capa- bilities developed to their fullest ex. tent and who realize that only through a decisive Russian victory in the far east can the wound be healed, not plastered. Russia has the opportunity for interior development on which their heart is sci"

THE HEAVIEST BLOW.

With General Oku's left army at front, Oct 16, p. m., via Tientsin.-- The seven days battle north of Yen tai was the heaviest blow yet struck the Russians by the Japanese, so far as loss of life is concerned. The left Japanese army during the week bur- jed 4, 100 Russian dead left in front of its lines A village ill front of the left wing contains many Russian dead, but the shell fire of the retreating Russians prevents the Japanese from mates place the Russian casualties at not less than 25,OO0. Probably many more dead are on the field in places not yet reached.
 The Japanese report their total cas- ualties at nttle over 5000 killed and wounded. The principal Russian cas- ualties occurred in determined counter attacks on each village captured by the Japanese. The Russian attacking parties were in many cases entirely annihilated. For the first time the Russians have met the Japanese on an equal footing, not having strong de, fensive positions to depend upon and for the first time they attacked the Japanese in their own trenches. The Russians everywhere fought bravely, but they were unable to drive the Jap anese out or to hold their own posi- tions against fierce charges. Almost in every case the Russians retired from their positions at the first charge, then made repeated attempts to re- capture th~n. The Japanese left army with front of nearly ten miles moved forward about five miles fighting over every inch of ground. The final re- treat of the Russians was almost a rout. The Japanese extreme left ad- vanced, driving the remnant of Rus sians ahead. The Russians made determined counter attack at Lamu- ting with two regiments of infantry and two batteries of artillery. They were repulsed after a half hours fighting, with heavy losses. The Jap anese left army during the past seven days fighting has captured thirty four guns, large number of rifles and oyercoats and 100 prisoners. The strength of the Russians opposed to the left army were three corps and thirty companies of artillery. All but very small part were newly arrived troops.
 The Japanese soldiers were practi- cally the same that fought before Lao yang, Chinese report that heavy works are ready for the Russians along the Hun river. The Japanese are undecided where the next stand will be made.
 Details of the operations of the right and center armies are not obtainable.

Woman Killed white Woman.
HARRoDsBuBa, KY, Sept. 2s.-Eighty
negroes, thirty OF them women, arrived
here last night from Pulaski county, having
been ordered to leave by the white citizens
Of the community Of South Fork, as the

The negroes have been engaged in work
ing on the railroad near South Fork, and
several days ago one Of the women went to
a farmhouse and demanded some food
This was given her, and while the farmers
wife's back was turned the negress snatched
some clothes which were lying near and
escaped. The farmers wife followed the
woman and caught up with her in field,
when the negress turned upon her and,
pulling out q knife, stabbed her captor.
A posse OF 500 white men went to the camp
and ordered the negroes to leave, threaten
ing them with death il they remained.
They reached this city last night, and az
soon as they arrived the citizens OF this
place notified them that they could not
stop here.
A telegram from Somerset, the county
seat OF Pulaski county, says no news OF
the lynching has been received there.
