FLOCK TO HEAR BRYAN
OVERFLOW MEETING NECESSARY
 AT RICHMOND, IND.
Tells Free Silver Men Their Support of Parker Will Be More Welcome
 Than Their Past Votes for

Richmond. Ind. Oct. 14.--In excel lent physical condition. notwithstand- ing that he delivered several speeches some of which occupied more than an hours time. en route from Fort Wayne to this city. William J. Bryan closed the third day of his Indiana tour with an address at political meeting fin this city tonight. The hall was so crowded that it was necessary to hold an overflow meeting in the open air.
 The special train which brought Mir. Bryan to this city was more than an hour late. The tardiness of Mir. Bry- ans arrival did not prevent many who had assembled at the depot to see him from remaining to escort him to the hall.
 Henry U. Johnson. & former Repub- lican Representative in Congress. pre- sided at the meeting and previous to the arrival of MT. Bryan delivered an address. In his introductory address he paid a compliment to Mir. Bryan for his efforts in this campaign.
 Mir. Bryan's speech was much the same as others delivered en route to this city. He spoke especially to the advocates of free silver. saying that the Republican party was depending upon them for victory in November Mir. Bryan said he would more appre- ciate their support of the Democratic ticket this year than in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900.

Battle Rages With Undimin-

Raia Ceases, and the Sun shines se- verely on Human Beings Strengthening Each Other
 for Their Emperers.

Mukden, Oct. 14.--(3:45 p. m.)--The fighting has ragged today with the same bitterness as on previous days of the engagement, and the result still Is in the balance. The losses on both sides are enormous, that of the Russians so far being 15.000.
 Wounded soldiers are being brought in from all directions. The roads are crowded with long trains of wagons, baggage and transport carts. as we'll as ambulances. even Chinese two-wheel- ed carts filling the mandate of the mill itary. Men afoot are limping in, using their guns as crutches, the less se- verely wounded supporting their com rades. after a first aid dressing on the firing line.
 Even across the fields you meet them. taking the shortest and straightest road for help and shelter.
 It is the most pitiful feature of the bloody drama being enacted at the front, when. stiffening with wounds, pain-racked bodies sink to the road side after the excitement of the danger and glory of the active fight have been withdrawn.
 Tn the distance the sounds of battle are still plainly heard. The rain has ceased and the sun Is shining serenely.

Kuropatkin Resumes Tactics Made Fa-
 mOus By Him and Fabius.
 Headquarters of the Russian Western Army, Oct. 12, via Mukden, Oct. Ia. via Pekin. Oct. 14.-The most fierce and most important fighting that has taken place since the battle of Liao Yang reached it's height at noon today, when after a bold attack. which lasted for three days. the Russians began a saga cious retirement from the positions they held yesterday and the Japanese, by strong central movement, forced the Russian line i've miles to the north.
 The result of the fight was that a mile of ground along the front west of the railway was lost but the Russians regained this ground during the night by a bayonet attack, without q shot having been fired.
 The battle was renewed at dawn to- day with terrific effect.
 The eastern army evidently is en- gagged in continued small-arm fighting.
 There can be heard the desultory bursting of the shells along the foot of the hills about Ave miles from the railway. On the westward there Is a growing activity and the smoke from the shells forms an almost impenetra- ble haze, hiding the operations of the infantry.
 There was an entangled artillery duel in the vicinity of Tousanpu to the westward, in which during the day, one regiment was caught by cross fire and threatened with extinction within a few minutes.
 Tousanpu wavered until noon when the Japanese made good their occupa- ton. and Colonel Stackovitch. who had made a magnificent stand for four AoV than tWanty nf hi@ nf flcers had been put out of action. fell back before the terrible onslaught of the Japanese.
 The Japanese proved their ability to utilize the strong position at the Yen tai coal mine, which the Russian ad- vance guard reported had not been util- ized up to Oct. 10. The Russians nov ing in that direction were unable to oc- cupy the position owing to the devel- opments of the past forty-eight hours. and fell back in conformity with pre- vious plans.
 At II o'clock in the morning. the bat tie reached a stage of severity three times greater than that~of yesterday, solid masses of troops filling up td the front.
 At 2:20 D. m. the Japanese were oc- cupying hill two miles to the south of Hungpa hill. which they shelled from a battery which was plainly visible. The results of this shelling were not important.
 At 4:16 p. m. the Russian army made an orderly and timely withdrawal. fol- lowed by a furious rifle fire from the Japanese.
 The Red Cross surgeons are perform ing operations at Siu Lintzu Railway station. Many of the wounded were loaded on trains which moved north during the day.
 At sundown the cannonading to the southwest could be heard continuously.
 The Russian rear guard was holding it's ground at nightfall.

 St. Petersburg. Oct. 14.--The Emperor has received the following dispatch. dated yesterday, from General Kuro. patkin:
 Two regiments of the Russian right on October 12, sustained heavy losses. The commander of one was killed and the brigade comander was wounded. Both regiments were compelled to with draw. abandoning their artillery, but subsequently under Colonel vannovsky. who temporarily assumed command of the brigade. they after a desperate as- sault. regained possession of the guns, with the exception of sixteen which remained in the hands of the Japanese.
 ''The final issue of the battle of Wednesday on this flank was unsuc- cessful for us. On account of a night attack of the Japanese who executed a turning movement, our troops were forced not only to abandon their posi- tions, but again lost the guns previous ly recovered from the Japanese. Our forces retired to the position previous ly prepared on the Shakhi River.

Parkersburg. W. Va, Oct. 14.-Four days of continuous speech-nakinK is beginning to tell on the vocal powers of Henry G. Davis. Democratic Vice Presidential candidate. Aside from hoarseness. however. MT. Davis seems as At as when he began his continu- ous performance tour of his own State.
 "I am sure that if Alton B. Parker shall be elected President, he will en- deavor to have the Department of Commerce and Labor divided and see to 1t that a practical labor man, a genuine and intelligent representative Of labor interests. will have the place devoted to labor interests as has been originally intended. and a man devot- ed to the interests of commerce at the head of the Commerce Department. ."
 This was David B. Hills contribu- tion to the campaign today. To 1t he added: Our candidate for President. while always impartially enforcing the laws. has always been friendly to the interests of those who work
 The condition in Colorado was de- scribed as a reign of terror with the militia running the State government. The Adjutant General Mir. ,Hill said was one of the rough riders or perhaps one of the tough riders of Roosevelts With a continuance of Republican rule MT. Hill predicted that militarism would pervade the United States.
 The red fire of enthusiasm lighted up Parkersburg tonight. The rockets tin horns. megaphones, marching clubs brass bands and the small boys had complete control of the town. The special arrived shortly after o'clock and was met at the station by a Srge reception committee and marching club The campaigners were escorted to hotel where an fmpromptu recep- ton was rendered the candidate and his party In the evening two meet ings were addressed by all the speak CTS of the party. The speech m king continued to late hour and what was said met with clamorous approval. The meetings along the road today were largely attended

NO CHANGE IN CANON
pRoPosED AMENDMENT REJECTED
 BY THE DEPUTIES.
Present Law of the Episcopal Church Regarding the Remarrfage of Divorced Persons, VIII Re-
 main in Force.

Boston, Oct. 14-The House of Depu ties of the Episcopal General Confer ence at the close of four days delib- eration today rejected an amendment to the divorce canon, which sought to prevent the remarriage of divorced per sons by clergymen of the denomination.
 While the House of Bishops may yet act on the question. 1t Is certain that no change will be made by the present convention.
 The present law of the church, which has been in operation since 1859, al- lows the remarriage of the innocent party to a e1vorce granted for infidel- ity. At several conventions attempts have been made to repeal this law, and when a vote was taken today by the House of Deputies, sitting as com mittee of the whole, on the question of reporting the proposed amendment to the House itself. the reformers were successful by a vote of 214 to 191. and this vote was regarded as representing the actual strength of the contending forces.
 The final vote. however, was taken by dioceses and orders, and where a diocese was evenly divided in senti- ment, It's strength was counted In the negative. The vote by diocese was Clerical for the amendment. 30; against. 21; divided. 10. Lay vote for, 25; against, 24; divided. 6.
 Practically the entire strength of the Middle Western States. the stronghold of the high church party, declared for the proposed reform, but the Pacific States and a number of the Southern States voted against change of the present canon. The diocese of New York opposed the amendment. while that of Pennsylvania favored 1t. In New England Vermont, New Hamp- shire and Western Massachusetts voted for a change, as did the lay deputies from Rhode Island. The clerical depu- ties from Maine favored the amendment but the votes of Connecticut and Mas. sachusetts were in the negative.
 The House of Deputies resumed the discussion on the divorce question this afternoon. Chief Justice J. H. Stin- son of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. said he was profoundly convinced that there was no way by which divcrces could be stopped except by preventing remarriage., The closing argument in favor of the old canon was made by Rev pr. Lewis Parks of New York, who criticized the lawyers in the con vention.
 Rev. Dr. Davenport of Memphis. chairman of the Committee on Canons, made the concluding argument in a brief address for the amendment.
 A vote was taken by orders and dio- ceses, with the result that the proposed amendment failed to obtain a matoriay and two other amendments which were contingent on the passage of the one relating to remarriage were tables The clerical vote was as follows: For the amendment, 30; against, 21; divided, 10. . Lay vote: For, 25; against. 24: dl- vided. 6.
 The vote of the divided dioeeses was counted in the negative under the rule.
 The House then took an adjoUrnment until Monday.
