 YORk

 He then said he went with McAvoY to several houses and said that McAvoy rented rooms for several of the men |. Soon after he met McAvoy and Van Cott in political club and conplafned to Van Cott that McAvoy had not treated him right because he spoke of having wanted 100 men and he had provided rooms for only seven. Van Cott. he swore. declared that he had a list of fifteen rooms and he wanted them filled Van Cott instructed hin, to see him again and at their next meeting Levy said he told Van Cott he had 100 men in nearby park.
 Slips bearing the addresses of houses where the men were alleged to have been lodged were identified by Levy as papers given to him by Van Cott and were put in evidence. Soon after this Van Cott and McAvoy told him tney washed their hands of him. Levy said that the bargain made between him and McAvoy for procuring men was "one dollar for registration. six weeks board and a couple of dollars for the vote on election day"

 Petersburg Government.

Tokio Oct 19.-(6 ?. m.)-The Ja- panese Government today decided to draw the attention of the Russian Gov ernment to the unlawful action of Rus sian troops in using Chinese costumes The notice will be served through the American State Department which will transmit it through the American Elm bassy at St Petersburg.
 A nnemora ndum issued by the For eIxn Ofice says that October { body of infantry belonging to the Russian 3rd regiment of sharpshooters. wear ing Chinese costumes. attacked the Ja- panese forces on the Mukden road. and that Russians similarly clad approach ed the Japanese lines and attempted surprises. Different reports received, if ia charged indicate that the Russians are uurcha sing enormous quantities of Chinese costumes.
 The memorandum points out that conabatants not properly uniformed are liable to punishment as offenders araInst the laws of war, and that par ticipants fighting without uniform Is a violation of international usage, an un- lawful act and contrary to the mean ing of Article 23 of the Supplementary Rules of the Convention governing the Taws and Customs of War on Land.
 If is pointed out further that this action of Russian troops will prove a souroe of great calamity to innocent Chinese. who will thereby be exposed to danper owing to their inability from djstances to distinguish the Russisn .oIdiers from real Chinese.

IMPROVEMENTS STRATEGY.
English Military Critics Find it Hard
 to Understand.

to Understand.
 London. Oct. 20. English newspa- pers and military critics find 1t difn- cult to apportion the exact strategic significance attaching to General Ku- ropatkin's action on the Shakhe river.
 It is supposed that his success here was due to having kept three divisions of troops in reserve. and 1t Is admitted that the attack on Lone Tree Hill may have been an intentional counterstroke after drawing out the Japanese from strong positions. The balance of opin- ion, however. faynrs the idea that 1t was a desperate endeavor to cover tae retreat of his forces from the Bensihu district and that the battle of Shakhe may be regarded as having ended in Q victory but not decisive one for the Japanese. who were too exhausted to follow up their success.
 Special dispatches from St. Peters burg make mention of g. crushing de- feat of two Japanese divisions. There is no confirmation, however, in any re- liable quarter for such a report.
 According to The Standards corres- pondent with General Kuroki, who tel egraphs under date of October IS, 8 Russian battalion which crossed the Taitse river has been almost annihi- lated. While retiring over a pontoon bridge, the correspondent says, the battalion was overtaken by a regiment of Japanese cavalry which got its ma chine guns into position and swept the bridge from end to end.

MADE SPECIAL ORDER
COMPROMISE MEASURE ON sUB-
 JECT OF DIVORCE.
Resolution offered tO Compel Divorced Persons Seeking IsemarriaRe to
 Wait a Year After Essuing of Decree f

Boston, Oct. 1s.--An attempt was made today by the Committee on Cam ons of the Episcopal House Of Deputies to arrange 8 compromise between that body and the House of Bishops. The Bishops had adopted an amendment forbidding the remarriage of divorced persons. while the Deputies had de- clined to accept so rigid a provision. owing to the fact that a majority of them took a stand similar to that of the House of Bishops.
 The Committee on Canons offered a resolution compelling divorced persons seeking remarriage to wait one year after the decree of the court has been issued before the soimnizaticn of the ceremony.
 By this resolution, which referred to the innocent person in a divorce for infidelity only. 1t was hoped to secure at least temporary agreement be- tween the two forces. After some de- bate the divorce issue was made a special order for tomorrow.
 The Deputies devoted a large part of the day to the consideration of request from several dioceses for per- mission to use the revised version of the Bible in churches. When the House was divided the request was pe- fused by a majority of both clerical anu lay dCtCANS1osfr N
 In the House of Bishops. Bishop Henry c. Potter of New York, Chair man of the standing sDnmittee on the relations of capital and labor. present ed a lengthy report. which touched upon certain evils. and discussed the industrial situation at length.
 The House of. Deputies adopted the proposed canon establishing courts of review. Under it dieceses are grouped in seven districts. each to have a court of seven persons appointed by the general convention. The House ooncurred with.the Bishops in appoint ing a joint committee to consider the question of instituting a system of suffragan bishops.
 The Deputies. after some discussion. voted to appoint a committee to peti- ton Congress for separate structures exclusively for Divine worship at army and navy posts.

s,cfnts Out Parker's "Utter Ignorance"
 of Economic Conditions.
 New York. Oct. 19.-The Republican mass meeting held in Brooklyn to- night at the Clermont Rink was ad- dressed by Senator Fairbanks. Secre- tary of the Treasury Leslie N. Shaw and Congressman Grifiths of Indiana.
 Previous to the meeting the speakers were entertained at dinner by former lieutenant governor Timothy L. Wood run. George H. Roberts presided and introduced Senator Fairbanks as the first speaker. Senator Fairbanks de- voted the major portion of his time in expounding the merits of the present protective tariff system as responsible for the existing prosperity. He closed with a brief defense of President Rooseveits policy in reference to the Panama canal.
 Secretary Shaw during his speech quoted from Judge Parker's letter of acceptance the paragraph wherein the Democratic candidate declares for tar sible disturbance of business can be avoided by providing that a reasonable period elapse between the date of rec vision and the time 1t Is to take ef- feet.
 He said that this statement proved Judge Parker's utter ignorance of economic conditions and declared that such a course would cause greater dis turbance than If new schedules were made effective on the day following their passage.
 In this connection the speaker took occasion to refer to what he termed the alarmist message of Grover Cleve- land during his second term. Mir. Shaw declared that the message calling for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the sherman act and the revision of the tariff were responsible for the panic of 1893 on account of the alarm ist. tone.
 He contended that had the president called attention in moderate terms to the necessity for the repeal of the sil- yer purchasing clause. coupled with the fact that there was plenty of sil yer on hand for coinage and had fur ther taken a stand against any tariff tinkering, the panic would not have occurred.
 Tn conclusion the secretary said:
 MT. Cleveland wanted to play poli- tics and he played memorable game Now Judge Parker proposes to play the same game;. but fortunately for tEe people. he gives notice that he will play a moro reckless game than was lever before tpiayed - kaif ~ ,5f'

WILL ROUND THE CAFE.
Part of Baltic Fleet Will Go by Way
 of Good Hope.


 Berlin. Oct. 19.-A confirmation of the St. Petersburg statement that part of the Russian Baltic fleet will follow the Cape of Good Hope route is con tained in a despatch from KieL. which says that the Hamburg American Line has contracted to coal the battleship squadron which. 1t is added. will fol- low the Cape of Good Hope route.
 The business men of Kiel complain of the outcry regarding Germanv's aI- legged breach of neutrality. which :hey say prevented the fleet from visiting Kiel. as intended, and thus deprived the merchants of that port an opportunitJs / to supply the Russian ships with coal and provisions which now falls into French hands. French firms have been entrusted with coaling the Russian cruisers and torpedo boats, which vii: traverse the Mediterranean.
