DIVIDED ON DIVORCE EVIL QUESTION
The Episcopalians Cannot Agree
Among Themselves to Take
Any Action to Check the
Evil.

Boston, Oct. IA marked division
Of entiment regaring the proposal. to
prevent the re-marriage Of the inno-
cent party to divorce during, the life
of the former partner, developed at
todays' session of the house of de-
puties of the Episcopal general con-
vention. The house sitting as COM
mittee Of the whole discussed the issue
all day and many vehement addresses
were made by both sides.
Several prominent delegates express
ed the opinion tonight that in view
of the difference Of opinion the
present convention would not act on
the matter but would, like it's prede-
cessor, refer the problem to the next
triennial convention.
A commotion was caused by John G.
Buxton of Winston, N. c., who at
tempted to link the divorce evil with
the liquor question.
Mr.. Buxton is the deputy who on
the opening day of the convention
attempted to read resolution censur-
ing Bishop Henry G. Potter of New
York for opening the Subway saloon.
In his remarks today he expressed the
opinion that it would be better for the
church to curb the liquor traffic be-
fore changing the canons on marriage.
Continuing, he was saying, If IN
stead of a high official of the church
lending his influence to the dedication
Isof saloons,'' when he was interrupted
by a point Of order. Mr.. Buxton was
admonished by the chairman. Still
| he attempted to make some further
reference Indirectly to the Subway
tavern but was promptly called to
order by the chairman. The time
limit of the morning session expired
before Mr.. Buxton could continue.
James Mcconnell of New Orleans
opposed the adoption Of the new cannon
| in a dramatic speech. In GODS name, y
| hes declared, 't.now can the church
legislate to take away the pain of the
| innocent. What right has any one to
change the meaning Of the words IN
st. Matthew's gospel? Where is the
Imam to expound away the written
/ word of the Son of God himself?" }
| Rev. r. J. Beard of Birmingham,
Ala, was opposed to the adoption Of
the proposed canon because it compro-
missed the church as teacher.
George Foster Peabody OF Brooklyn
thought that all amendments to the
present canon should be voted down as
the church was evidently emphatically
divided or tie issue.
The debate was put over until to.
] morrow.
The house of bishops today present
ed the archbishop of Canterbury with
a silver loving cup. The English prl.
mate will leave the city for New 4ors
tomorrow and will sail for England on

A. Jaggar of southern Ohio was re.

Kuropatkin Ordered His Men to Fall Back

st. Petersburg, Oct. l3.-Gen. Ku-
ropatkin reports that during the
fighting yesterday and today the ad-
vance troops were reinforced from the
principal positions; that this evening
the left wing was ordered to fall back
on the main position and that about 2
p. NJ, the centre also was obliged to
fall back. The report does not men
tion the fighting on the right wing. !
The full text of Gen. Kuropatkin's g
report which is dated October Il and
addressed to the emperor is as follows
"Last night and throughout today
the Manchurian army was engaged in
fierce fight. The japanese concen-
trated great force against our dispo-
sitions on the centre and right wing.
Ne carried on the fight from advanced
positions and it became necessary to
support these advance guards from
the main position. The right wing
held its advance position and only at
nigtfall under my orders retired to
the principal position. In the centre
the troops were forced to retire from
tie advance to the main position
about 2 p. m.
According to reports and to my
own observations the fighting was
most desperate. We repulsed numer-
GUS japanese attacks and ourselves as
sumed the offensive. The heroic de-
fense of it's advance position by the
Tomsk regiment is especially deserving
| of mention.
"During the night our troops on
the right flank recaptured at the point
Of the bayonet village which had
been lost the previous evening. On
the left flank severe fighting for the
| possession of pass has been continu-
ed. OR troops scaled almost mac
cessible rocks and held their ground
for two days gradually approaching
the enemy.
"I have not yet received report OF
the result of today's fight on the left
wing. Under the conditions of the
fighting the losses are necessarily con.
siderable. l have ordered that the
positions we now hold be stubbornly
defended tomorrow.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Portland Citizen Knows
 How Sure They Are

Nothing uncertain about the work of Deans Kidney Pills. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testi- mouy. Such evidence should convince the most skeptioal doubter. Read the following statement:
 D. D. CofTeY, whose place of residence is a. 4SS East Thirteenth street, Port land, Oregor, says: 'I have been a great sufferer from carbuncIeS or tumors for years. Every once in a while they appeared, not only one at a time, but broke out in different places, mostly on my arms or about my neck. Three wears ago l suffered from num- Der of them, which broke out almost at the same time. l was treated by a physician and be stated that l would never get entirely rid of them unless l had them lanced and the core taken out, He operated on them and I was not bothered with any mere until last fall, when one made its appearance. | came to the conclusion that my blood was out of order, and that the kidneys were not performing their functions right, and got a box of DOan's Kidney Pills, taking them as directed, and they did all that was claimed for them. On previous occasions when one appeared it was followed by others, but DOan's Kidney Pills checked them. About two weeks ago one broke out on my arm and l again resOrted to DOan'S Kidney Pills. and they prevented others from appearing. l can cheerfully recom- mend DOan'S Kidney Pills, for l also know others who have used them with very satisfactory results"

When a man attempts 10 frame an
indictment against an institution
such, for example, as the american
press, he should be careful Of his
facts if he wants his Indictment to
hold. Mr.. Edward w. Box, the writer
of a recent magazine article, who ar
raigned American newspapers as I'M
worthy Of belief, made the serious
mistake of: inputing the sins OF a few
to the many, of. rating down the stan
dard of the 10000 to the standard of
10. Every intelligent person knows,
and no one better than Mr.. Box,
that no editor-in-chief of reputable
newspaper Office wants anything but
the truth, and that he will not print
anything else if he can help 1t. II
no higher motive were present he
would not do it as a matter OF pure
business policy. 1t needs only a modi-
cum of common sense TO see and I'M
derstand that a newspaper that Will
fully and habitually misleads and de-
ceives its readers by falsehcods and
DerversionS of statement must soon
lose the confidence OF even the lowest
class Of newspaper readers, and with
this its last asset as a mouey-making
enterprise. Even the yellowest and
most sensational sheets which bring
shame and discredit upon the news
paper profession do not count upon
s.,ch features as G source of strength
and popularity They tell the truth,
rs a general rule. although it may be,
oftimes, truth that had better been
lett untold. The American press as
a whole is just as worthy of belief
as the American pulpit. and to charge
that either one or the other OF these
agencies Of influence is venal and
mendacious would be equally untrue
and unjust. The American news
paper reflects as accurately and con-
scientiously as any human agency
can 10 the life and thought of the
American people. This is its declar-
ed purpose, and this it does as Wen
as the Intelligence which it COM
rnands will enable it to do. To indict
the American press as a falsifier is
TO cast the same sin at the door of
the whole american public.-Leslie's
Weekly.
