Bourke Cochran in Cleveland.

Cleveland O., October 1S.-A large crowd heard the Hon. w. Bourke Cock ran speak in Central armory tonight. The meeting was the first large gathering of the democrats of Cleveland and Cuya- hoga county.
 MT. Cochran was introduced by Mayor Johnson and was the only speaker His speech was a review of the fundamental principles of the two great parties He took up the question of the prosperity of the country and said that if the present prosperity was the fullest that the country could enjoy that the republicans should be retained in office, but if it was not they should be hurled from power and the democratic party placed in control of the government
 He said that the term prosperity was a relative one and he believed that the United States was not enjoying the con- clifton of prosperity which it could en- joy under democratic principles. The speaker argued at some length as to the effect of the protective tariff system on the general welfare, maintaining that it enriched the few at the expense of the many.

DIVORCE ISSUE
 AGAIN COMES UP
Bishops Resolution is Referred
 to Committee
NEGRO BISHOP DISCUSSED
Several Resolutions Favoring Stricter Canon on Marriage and Divorce Were Referred
 to a Committee.

Boston. October 1S.-The divorce issue again came before the Episcopal conven- tioin today, but no final action was taken on severrl -rAesatiens referring to the subject which were presented.
 The house of bishops sent message to the deputies informing them that the bishops had voted to forbid the remar- riage of any divorced persons, but when the matter was laid before the deputies on the question of concurrence, Rev. DTS, Leads Parks and w. D. Hunting both of New York. immediately set the parliamentary machinery in motion to defeat or at least sdetrack the bishops resolution. After a brief but spirited skir- mish the matter was referred to com mittee, from which 1t can be called at any time.
 During the forenoon several resolutions favoring a stricter canon on marriage and divorce were referred to committee.
 A joint commission appointed three years ago presented an extended report recommending that all dioceses and mis- sionary districts be grouped into seven provinces, each province to have author ity to legislate on matters which do not conflict with the general convention. Each province is to elect a primate to preside over it. The report will be acted upon later.
 The house of deputies today decided to refer a proposition to elect negro bish- on for the southern states to the next convention.

CANYONS DOOMED ALL NIGHT
Japanese Have So Far Buried 4foo Russian Dead-Report Their Own Losses in Present
 Battle at 5000.

Mukden, October 1S-Lone Tree Hill, won by the Russians after a desperate struggle. was the object of a gallant but unsuccessful attempt at recapture by the Japanese.
 In spite of the awful slaughter with which they had been driven from the hill, the Japanese returned to the charge dur ing the night of October IT, recognizing that the hill was the key to the position on the southwest front. Nine regiments participated. creeping up through the night and delivering u furious assault at dawn. But the hill had been bought too dearly by the Russians to relinquish 1t, and the Japanese were driven back with terrible slaughter.
 It Is reported that General Mistchenko's Cossacks, under command of Adjutant Gavriloff were engaged in a hot fight on October II towards the southeast. A Cos sack horse battery silenced the Japanese guns and drove back several infantry bat talions, but were unable to capture the guns. which the Japanese succeeded In carrying off.
 Shakhe station or what was left of it has been recaptured by the Russians, who will shortly reopen 1t for railway traffic with Mukden

BUSY DISCUSSING
 NEGRO QUESTION
SUBJECT OCCUPIES MOST OF THE TIME OF THE NATIONAL CON- GREGATIONAL CONVENTION IN SESSION IN DIES MONIES.

Des Moines, October 1S.-Today's ses- sions of the National Congregational con- vention were devoted entirely to the American Missionary association and it's interests Numerous addresses were deliv- cred practically all of which dealt with the negro problems of the south in some form or other. They expressed the need of more education and more churches and the need of schools for Industrial and pro- fessional training. An interesting phase of the discussions was that presented by negroes who are engaged in church and educational work among their people.
 President Washington Gladden., D. D., declined reelection, In order that he might devote himself during the next three years to the ministry at large, which sphere the moderator of the coun- ell broadly defined was very necessary
 The old board of executive officers was reelected. A new list of vice presidents was elected, which included President Henry Churchill King, D. D., of Oberlin college. and Justice David Brewer of Washington The annual report of the ex- ecutive committee was then presented.
 The sectarial paper of the association was read by F. P. Woodbury, D. D., of New York, who defended the colored peo- ple against alleged criminalty and against lynching.

Kuropatkin Seems to Have Re-
 sumed the Offensive
FIGHTING STILL IN PROGRESS,
Heavy Rains and Swollen Streams itl Is Feared Will Interfere With the Plans of kuro- '
 patkin.

St. Petersburg has been eheered by the report that General Kuropatkin has re- sumed the offensive and by the news or the defeat of the Japanese command or General Yamada and capture of Lone Tree hill, which Is represented to be tho key to the position southwest of the fronts of the second contending armies
 If the report of the advance is authen- tic and the Russians have crossed to the south side of the Shakhe river, a later rise in the stream may have produced conditions seriously threatening failure of General Kuropatkins plans, for 1t Is be- lieved the advance force will be out off from the reserves and the base of sup piles and retreat rendered problematical.
 It Is believed, however, that if the ad- vance movement has proceeded to the point indicated there seems no immediate prospect of a cessation of the fighting that has been in progress for the last ten days, although there are signs that on both sides the supply of ammunition Is falling short and that the limit of endur- ance in the troops must have been nearly reached.

PARKER WRITES
 ID ULSTER CITIZENS
Makes Plea to Uphold CouSti-
 tutiunaIiSm
ADDRESSES OLD FRIENDS
Says the Issue Is "Shal the Ship of State Sail By the Peoples Chart or at Ran
 dom?"

New York, October 1S.-Judge Parker discussed the question of constitutional government in letter read tonight at a meeting of citizens of Ulster county, cial Travellers league. There are more than 600 Ulster county citizens now living in this city, and the attendance was large. Speeches were made by former State Senator John G. Linson and Ed ward Chipp, both of Kingston.
 After extending a hearty neighborly greeting to the men of Ulster county ll<- ing in the metropolis, and commenting on the significance of the fact that 1t was at Kingston that the first constitution of New York state was adopted twelve years before the federal constitution, Judge Parker's letter concluded:
 "The federal constitution is a chart that sets forth the course that the ship of state should sail to insure safe voy- age. By 1t government is divided into three departments. Each department is to perform its proper and specified func- tions.
 This is a popular government In It's most perfect form. So long as each de- partment performs the functions and only those conferred upon 1t by the peo- pie through the constitution, 80 long are we safe. Under republican adminlstra- ton this rule has been disregarded. One of the branches of the national govern ment has on occasion gone beyond it's authority and usurped functions withheld from it by the constitution.
 Therefore, this is in issue: Shall the ship of state sail by the peoples chart, or at random?
 'I repeat it is well that the voice of the people of Ulster county be heard on the side of consttutionalism.
 With warm greetings and best wishes for each of you, I am
 Very faithfully yours,
 "ALTON B. PARKER. "

FlahtIna stlIl Continues.

Fidyalum, six miles east of Shakhe. Oc- tober 1S.-F'lghting still continues along almost the whole front. The Japanese have made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture Lone Tree Hill. The Russian infantry met several attacks and repulsed them all.
 Heavy rains continue.
 There was a terrific cannonading last night. Every one Is terribly exhausted. but full of fight.
 The battlefield of Lone Tree Hill pre- sents the most awful spectacle that can be conceived Russian and Japanese dead are mingled In heaps In inextrcable con- fusion. The ground Is strewn with broken rifles that had been smashed in hand-to- hand fighting. Everything seems to have been utilized weapons. The Russian doctors are working heroically on the slopes of the hill in the attempt to save those of the wounded who still survive, but the Japanese keep up a sniping fire and render the work of relief difficult and dangerous.
 The fighting today slackened consider ably owing to rain and the impossible condition of the roads.

IS REGARDED AS
 GRAND STAND PLAY
PRESIDENT RooSEVELT'S INTEN- TON OF OFFERING MEDIATION IS APT TO BE CONSIDERED AS AFFRONT BY RUSSIA.

Washington. October Special.)-The effort of President Roosevelt to settle the Russo Japanese war all by himself is re- garded here simply as a play to the gall lerles.
 The President thus far in the cam paign has been effectually muzzled by the republican leaders. and is evidently ohaffing under restraints that keep him out of the limelight. His proposed media tion will likely be regarded by Russia as an affront, coming as 1t does at time when she is temporarily at least in de- feat.
 Moreover Russia Is after Manchuria. She wants it just as Roosevelt was after Panama because he wanted It." Rus sla will likely resent thls inconsistency In Washington the move is regarded as only another attempt of Roosevelt to reg uate the universe.
