RUSSIANS FORCED BACK.

Continued japanese successes marked
yesterdays fighting in the great battle
south of Mukden.
General Kuropatkin's offensive move
ment has failed and the Russian COM
mander-in-chief, after four days hard
fighting, during which he lost many
guns and thousands of men, is again on
the defensive and some of his forces are
in retreat, In his report to the Gar last
night night Kuropatkin states that his
left wing and center were forced to fall
back upon the main positions. Should
the japanese be successful in turning his
right the Movement will likely result in
his complete defeat.
Field Marshal 0yama reports contin-
ued Japanese successes and the capture
of % guns by General 0ku's left army
alone. He also states that the japanese
right army is in pursuit Of the retreat
ing Russians. The Russians were driven
from Hunchiatien and the japanese are
endeavoring to surround 5000 Russians
at Bensihu. -'rhe fighting has exceeded
in desperation the battle Of LiaOyang,
and it is believed the losses on both sides
will equal those in that memorable en-
gagement.
The japanese estimate the Russian
forces at 200, 900 men, with |, 900 guns,
and state that the japanese force ex-
ceeds that engaged in the previous bat.
tie.
The long struggle at Bort Arthur daily
becomes more desperate for the Russians,
the new japanese guns doing terrible
execution.
General Stoessel reports that the Jap
anese are now bombarding the interior
of the fortress. This would seem to in
1icate the beginning of the end. Baron
Hayasha, japanese minister at London,
saws Japan, in possession of Port Ar
thur, could treat for peace, and he be-
lieves Russia would in that event also
agree to some form OF intervention.
Baron Hayashi, japanese Ambassa-
dor at London, in an interview, de-
clared that only the fall Of Port Arthur
cogld bring about peace.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
THE end of the war is by no means
within sight, but already symptom is
rife, the Significance OF which calls for
special consideration. 1t constitutes
precisely one of those slight indications
which diplomacy cannot afford to leave
out of the account and consists of the
change in the tone of certain Russian
organs toward the japanese. 1t was to
be expected that two brave armies like
the Russian and japanese would learn
to respect each other, but the unstinted
admiration now bestoyed upon the Japa-
nese tends to give consistency to the
opinion frequently expressed that when
the war is over, possibly during the ne
gotiations for peace, Russia will seek
rapprochement with Japan. There
is nothing yet to show that such over
lures will meet with response on the
part of the latter, nJr would it be easy
to discover the advantages such reap
rochement would offer Japan"

BisI,op Smith on Divorce.

One feature of Yesterdays session
of Holston Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, now meeting
at Abingdon, was an expression on the
subject of marriage and divorce by
Bishop A. Coke Smith, Of Norfolk, who
is presiding over the conference.
His remarks were based Oh the discov.
cry that during the past year a member
of the conference had officiated at the
marriage of a divorced woman. The
Bishop said, among other things: off
we do not preserve the integrity of the
marriage relation we sap the foundation
of civilization, and this law of our
church much be observed. would not

The Episcopal Convention.

Boston, Oct. 14.-The Episcopal gen.
eral convention today in committee of
the whole adopted the reportof the CON-
mittee on canons prohibiting the remar-
riage of divorced persons. Rev. A A.
Morrison, of Oregon, said ~ want to
question the right of this church to enact
the proposed legislation. / deny the
right of this church any time to deny me
the right to marry an innocent party"
Rev. Arthur Lawrence, of western Mass
achusetts, thought il not right to attempt
to force law on the church which did
not meet the full hearty approval of the
majority. He felt that the new report
should be referred back to the committee
ON canons and the old canon now in
force continued.
George G. Thomas, of Philadelphia,
said he had voted in San Francisco
against the canon, but had been con-
verted last night by Chinese woman,
and should now vote in favor of it.
A vote to report to the House section
2, of the report, of the committee on
canons resulted in pa in favor, l9l OPP
posed.
Section 3, of the report on canons, also
was adopted by vote of 2S0 in favor to
126 against.
Section 4, was adopted unanimously,
and like section was taken on the last
section of the proposed canon.
The committee OF the whole then rose
and reported to the House.
At the beginning of today's session of
the House of Deputies the committee to
which was referred the Rev. b. Talbots
resolution providing for change in the
title page of the prayer book, so that the
words protestant Episcopal" shall not
appear thereon, reported that in view
of the refusal of the House to agree to a
change of the name of the church, the
proposed change for the prayer book
was inexpedient
DR.. Huntington, of New York, for
the committee on constitutional amend
ments in regard to the proposal to APP
point a presiding bishop of the church
who shall hold office until he has reach
ed the age of 20 years, and that he shall
have no diocesan work, reputed that the
duties of the Office are not sufficiently
onerous to justify so wide departure
from the present system; and recommed.
ed that for the present, the question be
met by increasing appropriation for ex-
penses from $500 to $500, so that the
presiding bishop may employ more
clerical assistance. The matter was re-
ierred to the committee on expenses.
The committee to which was referred
the memorials for permissive use of re-
vised versions of the Bible recommended
that permission be granted to use at
morning and evening prayer the West
minister revised version. Action on the
report was postponed. A resolution was
adopted providing for the appointment
of a joint committee to petition the vari-
Gus State and territorial legislatures 10

to adopt such legislation as will reduce
the statutory grounds on which divorce
may be granted.

The Temple Of Peace.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Nothing has
been done toward the erection of the
Temple OF Peace" at the Hague, for
the construction OF which Andrew
Carnegie contributed 81, 500, 900, though
the fund was turned over to the
Netherlands a year and half ago.
The interest, according to the best
information obtaipsble, is included in
the ordinary revenues of the government.
The State Department has asked several
polite questions about the fund, and it
is possible that the Dutch Government
will be prodded rather Sharply on the
subject if some definite step is not taken
soon. The temple contemplated by Mr..
Carnegie was to be permanent home
tor The Hague tribunal, and State De
partment officials are particularly inter
ested 10 the matter just now because
they would like to see work begun on 1t
before the President issues the invitations
to the second Peace Congress

Cause OF IOckiaW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by II
bacillus or germ which exists plentiluliy
Ia street dirt. Ii is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes such injuries to heal without
maturation and in one.third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t is

those in smaller communities. The
Chicago city hall, in which are police
police headquarters, and the Offices of
Chief O'NeilI, has been robbed by bur-
glars. The raid was directed on City
Custodian Cregier's store room, and al
though the value of the plunder was not
great, the daring displayed by the
burglars was such that their crime
stands unique in Chicago's history.
With two special policemen and a pa
trolman keeping watch over the store of

delphia, early Tuesday morning, bur-
glars ransacked the place, and escaped

Alleged Smuggling.

The seizure by customs officials at
Norfolk of Turkish and Persian goods
valued at thousands of dollars, which
were brought there from Europe by the
naval collier Hannibal, has creatad a
sensation in naval circles there. The
matter is now in the hands of the Secre-
tary of the Navy for investigation. The
naval officers, said to be of high rank,
and attached to the battleship squadron
in European waters, are implicated in
the case, it is said. A mysterious feat
ure of the seizure is the fact the infor-
nation leading up to it came in the
form OF an anonymous letter to the au-
thorities before the Hannibal reached
Norfolk some days ago from Gibraltar.
