BRITISH OPINION ON BATTLE.
Gen. Kuropatkin's Action on the shakhe
 Not Understood.

A
 London, oct. 2o.-English newspapers and military critics find it difficult to apportion the exact strategic signifi- canoe attaching to General Kuropat- kin'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 it is admitted that the attack on Lone Tree hill may have been in intentional counter-stroke af- ter drawing out the Japanese from strong positions. The balance of opin- ion, however, favors the idea that it was a desperate endeavor to cover the retreat of his forces from the Bensihu district. and that the battle of ShalIhe may be considered to have ended in a victory. but not decisive one, for the Japanese, who were too exhausted to follow up their success.
 Special dispatches from St. Pet ersburg make mention of a crushing defeat of two Japanese divisions. There is no confirmation, however, in any re- liable quarter of such a report.
 According to the Standards core spondent with General Kuroki, who telegraphs under date of October IS, a Russian battalion which crossed the Taitse riVes has been almost annihilat- ed. While retiring over apontoon bridge, the correspondent says. the bat talion was overtaken by a regiment of Japanese cavalry, which got it's ma chine guns into position and swept the bridge from end to end.

Attempt to Arrange a Compromise Be
 tween the Houses.

Boston. Oct 1s.-An attempt was made to-day by the committee on cam ons Of the Episcopal house of deputies to arrange compromise between that body and the house of bishops. The bishops had adopted an amendement forbidding the re-marriage of dlvorc- ed persons, while the deputies had de- clined to adopt so rigid a provision, notwithstanding the fact that a ma jority of them took a stand similar to that of the house of bishops The com mittee on eanons offered a resolution compelling divorced persons seeking re- marriage to wait one year after the de- cree O. the court has been issued be- fore solemnization of the ceremony. By this resolution, which referred to the innocent person in a divorce for infidel- it yonly, it was hoped to secure at least a temporary agreement between the two forces. After some debate, the divorce issue was made a special order for to- morrow.
 The deputies devoted 8 large part Of the day to the consideration of re- quest from several dioceses for pernis- sion to use the revised version of the Bible in churches. When the house was divided, the request was refused by g majority of both clerical and lay dele gates.
 In the house of bishops, Bishop Hen " 0. Potter of New York, chairman of the the standing committe on the relations of capital and labor, present ed a lengthy report, which touched upon certain evils the committee found, anu discussed the industrial situation at great length
