HE'S STILL IN THE RING
Sir Thomas COrrects a Report That
 He Has Cold Feet.

London, Oct. 19.-Discussing the probabilities of a challenge for the Am erica's sup. the Yachting World says:
 Many have taken it for granted tha: all proposals have been definitely shelved so far as Sir Thomas Lipton is concerned; but there is less justifi- cation for the assumption that his re- grettable withdrawal means a total collapse of all chances of an immediat te reopening of the contest
 Kenneth M. Clarke, one of the fore most Clyde racing owners, dropped his aspirations when Lipton moved again. but his interest in this phase of sport remains unabated, and recent negotfa- tiQns bring it we'll within the bounds of possibility that he may enter the contest"
 Sir Thomas Lipton was shown the Yachting Worlds article today. and he said to the Associated Press that it was utterly incorrect to assume that he has abandoned the idea of chalIeng- ing for the Americas cup. He had. he said, faced great difficulties in se- curing designer, but he had not given up He had given George L. Watson carte blanche in the matter of secur- ing boat, and was still hopeful of success.

For several weeks the Colorado 6, Carson has been absolutely swamped with freight consigned from San Fran cisco and Reno to Tonopah and Gold field. The rapid development of these wonderful camps and their enormous increase of population within the last few months has stimulated shipping to such a degree that the Carson & Col orado IS not equal to the quantities of ore that the two camps offer for ship ment, which are times greater than the capacity of the road.
 The road was built many years ago by eastern capitalists, and was bought by the Southern Pacific, which never realized much from the purchase until the discovery of Tonopah and Goldfield and their neighbOring mineral zones.
 It is also stated that the Tonopah road, ninety miles in length. connect ing with the Carson & Colorado at SOdaville and running into Tonopah. will be changed from a narrow to a standard gauge line. Several days ago the Tonopah Railway company ordered 30OcO ties. which, it is believed. are to be used in reconstructing the line.

DELEGATE FROM ANTILLES
His Gracious Reception by the Pope
 Yesterday.

Rome. Oct. 19.-The Pope today re- ceived Archbishop Chappelle. of New Orleans. paPal delegate for Cuba and Porto Rico, in private audience.
 At the audience the pope manifested the greatest paternal affection and consideration for the American prelate granting whatever he asked. The pom tin said he highly appreciated the mes sage conveyed to him by the archbish- op from President Palma. and charged Archbishop Chappelle to express to the president, in turn. his good wishes. and to convey his hope that, especially through the apostolic delegate. the best relations would continue to exist between the Cuban government and the Catholic church.
 Archbishop Chappelle's visit to Rome, it is asserted. will be fruitful of excellent results, especially concerning the interests of the papaI delegate in the Antilles. He expects to arrive at New Orleans about the middle of No Vember.

 A dispatch from General Sakharoff. dated at noon today, confirms the As sociated Press previous fIukden ad- vices saying that there was no fighting last night. The general reports that the Japanese are concenu ating at Sin chin Pu. but the most important infor- nation is that the Russian right is be- ing extended westward. the center of the right being now facing Sinchin Pu. This may have been necessary in or 1 der to protect General Kuropatkin's right or. if the offensive is imminent. Tor the purpose, in conjunction with an advance of the center, of crumpIinE up both of General Oku's Hanks and driving him towards the Shakhe river. Other signs of the offensive are no uced- There has been a slight forward movement of the left upon the Bent siaputze roads from Mukden and F1l- shan. No big movement. however is possible pending the drying up Of the roads.

RUSSIAN PLAN OF RETREAT.
Japanese Discovered Maps Shovina
 Where Slaughtering Places Were.

With General Oku's Army at the Front, Oct. r, via Fusan. Oct. 19- The Japanese advance is ten miles south of Mukden- The Russians have built heavy defenses two miles soutb of the Hun river. where they are ex- pected to make a stand. There are no natural defenses at this point.
 The Japanese report that the battle has been the most severe yet fought. on the plains, where the Russian forces consisted of the first army corps and the fifth and sixth Siberian corps the only defenses were infantry trenches, which were hastily made.
 Maps captured by the Japanese show that the Russians had arranged for a series of retreats. and these maps fn- dicated where the stands were to he made. This accounts for the sIowness Of the advance of the Japanese and their failure to cut off the Russian re- treat which was conducted with great skill. Ravines and guIleys met with

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
The Episcopal Convention Takes up
 the Question Today.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 19.-An attempt was made today by the committee on canons of the house of deputies to ar range a compromise between that body and the house of bishops. The bishops had adopted Q amendment forbiddfng the remarriage of divorced people while the deputies declined to accept so rigid a measure, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of them took a stand similar to that Of the house Of bishops. The committee on canons of fered a resolution compelling divorced persons to wait one year after a decree of the court for a solemnizatioa of the ceremony By this resolution, (which referred to the innocent person in the divorce for infidelity only, it was hoped to secure at least a temporary agree ment between the two forces. After some debate, the divorce issue was made a special order for tomorrow.
 The deputies devoted a large part of the day to the consideration of a re- quest from several dioceses for per mission to use the revised version of the Bible in churches. When the house was divided the request was refused by majority of both the clerical and lay delegates in the house of deputies.
 Bishop Potter, chairman of the standing committee on the relations of capital and labor, presented a lengthy report, which touched upon certain evils the committee has found, and dis cussed the industrial situation at length
