Hill PRESENTS new ISSUE
NEW YORKER INJECTS NEW
ARGUMENT INTO CAMPAIGN.
Condemns in Strong Terms "Govern-
ment by 1njunction' in Speech
at Wheeling.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 15.-David B.
Hill injected a new argument into the
democratic campaign here Thursday
night-a straightforward condemna-
ton of government by injunction" and
the demand for a law granting a jury
trial to persons held in contempt OF
court, for the violation of restraining
order of federal judge. The democrat
ic national platform sustains this posi-
ton, although in guarded terms.
Wheeling was selected by the New York
politician as the place to emphasize and
make national issue of this point, be-
cause of it's varied industries giving en-
ployment to artisans of many vocations,
and also because the injunction has been
used here in labor disputes in a number
OF instances. The announcement, which
was accompanied by full explanation
was greeted with applause
Mr.. Hill recited the history of the use
of the injunction in labor disputes and
the difficulty of finding an adequate rem
edy. He told of introducing and secur-
ing the passage of bill through the
senate in 1896 to this end; he then re-
cited the republican opposition in the
house of representatives since that time
which was the ground for making the
| question party issue to be called to the
front at this time. He declared that a
man had the right to quit work when
and where he pleased. "The position Of
the democratic party upon this subject
is right" he concluded "A democratic
national victory will mean the enact
ment of the measure mentioned. and
government by Injunction as here ex-
planned. will no longer exist"
Another new point as democratic ar
gument. was also made by Mr.. Hill, the
election of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people.

and as this body was separated from
the rest OF the troops Kuropatkin or
dered it to retire. The dispatch reit-
crates that the Russians suffered
heavy losses, but no details have yet
been given out.
Beginning of Bloody Work.
A later dispatch from Gen. SAX
haro1t, sent at six o'clock Friday
morning, explains more of the opera
tons of October IL and 10, from which
it appears that the Russian center was
due north of the Yentai mines, the
right running west a short distance
beyond the railroad and the left
sweeping sOutheastward toward Ben
slhu' The real bloody work did not
begin until Wednesday when the Jap
anese made a series of determined at
lacks on Sialiuhedzy, about seven
miles north of Yentai, but the Rus
slams held off their assailants. In the
meantime, however, the extreme right
comparatively lightly held, was forced
back, thus compelling Kuropatkin to
slightly draw back his line above Yen
tai IN order to preserve it's alignment.
On the extreme left, after a deter
mined resistance, the Russians sue
ceeded in carrying the rocky heights
and Hua pass, north of Bensihu, but
the arrival of Japanese reinforce
ments, Kuropatkin says, made it i'm
possible for the Russians to press their
advantage here and as the left was
now too far advanced it also was
withdrawn some distance.
Losses May Reach Thousands.
Reports from the left, however, only
bring the situation up to Thursday aft
ernoon. A high officer of the general
staff said that the situation while crit
ical was not desperate. Kuropatkin
is keeping his head and acting eau
tiously, as is shown by his withdrawal
OF both wings in the hope that the JAP
anese assaults will exhaust themselves.
He says the slaughter was frightful. No
estimate OF the losses is yet possible,
but they run far into the thouands,
The losses were especially heavy on
the Russian left and center In a
single regiment out of over 100 Off
GERS only eight escaped The same au-
thority stated that no information had
been received here tending to confirm
the report that the Japanese are likely
to cut off a force on the Russian left.
Nither is the threatened enveloping
movement against the Russian right
greatly feared, Kuropatkin having a
large number of Cossacks on his right,
held in leash to meet just such a con-
tlngency. 1t is now evident that
kuropatkin's plan was to press his
advance not directly from the front
but toward the left for the purpose of
getting In the rear of Oyama's tri-
angle

Two Exceptions to Canon Will Prob

Boston, Oct 15.-The house of depu-
ties of the Episcopal general conven-
ton, as a committee of the whole, Fri
day voted PA to 191 in favor of report
ing to the house the canon amendment
forbidding the remarriage of any d.
vorced person.
resolution was adopted appoint
ing committee, consisting of two
bishops, two clerical and two lay depu-
ties for the purpose of petltioning state
legislatures in the interest of reform
ing the divorce laws. The resolution
is subject to concurrence by the house
of bishops.
In accordance with the motion
passed Thursday, the first division,
when the first vote was taken, was
upon the question of reporting as a
committee of the whole, the amend
ment forbidding the remarriage of any
divorced person. 1t was voted PA to
191 to report the amendment The
division furnished the first test vote
on the divorce issue at the present
convention An amendment referring
to bishops the request of a divorced
person for permission to receive the
sacraments also will be reported to the
house, the vote to do so standing 280
to 126. The amendment makes an
exception in the case of a penitent
person in imminent danger of death
and in the case of the innocent person
in divorce for the cause OF adultery
Thn
whole then dissolved and resumed its
regular session. A discussion devel-
oped over the amount of time which
should be allotted for final considera-
ton of the divorce question:
Will Not Drop Name.
A proposition bearing on changing
the name of the church came before
the house when the committee on
| prayer book reported that it considered
| it inexpedient to strike the words
protestant Episcopal' from the title
page of the prayer book in view of the
fact that the joint commission appoint
ed three years ago to consider
change in the name of the church had
reported in favor of making no change
at this time. The committees report
was upon resolution to strike the
two words from the prayer book, intro
duced by Rev. B. Talbot Rogers, Of
Fond du Lac, Wis. Mr.. Rogers moved
that his resolution be placed on the
calendar. This action was ordered and
the matter will be discussed later.

Schooner Wentworth Is Smashed to
Pieces on Deadly Bar - Nine Per-

Chatham, Mass, Oct. 15.-Driven
down the coast by a northeast storm,
the Nova ScOtian schooner Wentworth
was thrown upon Chatham bar Thurs
day night and smashed to pieces in the
terrific surf. 1t is believed that not a
soul on board survived.
At seven o'clock Friday morning the
body of woman was dragged out Of
the breakers by the government life
savers, who had been waiting on the
beach powerless to aid since the vessel
went on the bar. At eight o'clock
another body, that Of a man, was recov-
cred. 1t is believed that in addition to
the unfortunate woman the Inflated
vessel carried crew of at least eight
men, besides her skipper, Capt. Prid-
die.

1t was just before dark that the
schooner was seen by the keeper of the
Nauset lights flying south before the
gale with her foresail SET 1t was be-
lieved she would be able to make safe
harborage behind the Handkerchief
shoal but at eight o'clock the south pa
troll of the Old Harbor 1ife-saving sta
ton, ten miles below Nauset, discov-
cred the schooner on the outer bar.
The Old Harbor life-savers, reinforced
by the crew from Orleans station, were
on the beach opposite the wreck in a
short time and began their efforts to
save those on the doomed vessel Sew
eral times lines were shot out to the
schooner and she was hailed through
megaphones and sisnaled by torches,
but there came no sign of life from the
vessel although lights were shining in
the cabin. The life-savers remained on
the scene all night. At daybreak it was
seen that two of the schooner's masts
had gone by the board and that her
stern was washed away. Subsequently
the two bodies were recovered.
The Wentworth was three-masted
schooner owned in Windsor. N. S., and
was bound from Hillsboro, N. B., tc
