DEEP GLOOM IN RUSSIA.
Enthusiasm for Advance Turns to
Gravest Apprehension.

=
The public is aroused to the
highest pitch of excitement and anx-
lety by Kuropatkin's dispatch last
night, revealing the terrific character
of yesterdays combat and acquainting
the people officially that he was on
the defensive. That together with
Toxic dispatches declaring the Jap
anese forces were everywhere gaining
ground and Kuropatkin's concluding
statement that he would "Give orders
tomorrow to obstinately defend the
positions occupied by u.s." has chilled
the enthusiasm with which the news
OF Russian advance was received and
instead has raised ominous fears of al,
Impending disaster. The holiday
crowds in celebrating the festival Of
.Intercession of the Virgin for HUI
manity," on which occasion they us
ually spend their time in merrymak-
ting. clung obstinately to the bulletin
boards, hungrily awaiting news of the
issue most critically.
It is fully appreciated that if Kuro-
patkin's arm,' was driven back today.
the whole plan of Russian advance
may be enwrecked and battle may end
in an irretrievably ruin Tor huropat-
kin.
Kuropatkin's official report given out
this afternoon definitely confirming
The loss of artillery attached to tbs
brigade on his right flank as the re-
suit of Oku's attack Wednesday
night. only served to increase public
apprehension The,number of guns lost
was not specifically stated.
Each division is composed of two
brigades of artillery of forty-eight
guns. 1t seems that the Russians lost
twenty-four guns. which would cores
pond with the Toxic report.
Kuropatkins dispatch reiterates
that the Russians suffered heavy
iosses, but no details were given out

ties OF the Episcopal general conven-
tion as committee of the whole, voted
214 to 191 in favor of reporting to
the house a conan amendment forbid
ding The remarriage of any divorced
| person.
| The proposition bearing on changing
| the name of the church. came up before
| the house of deputies today when the
committee on prayer book reported
that it considered 1T inexpedient to
strike out the words Protestant Epis-
copaY' from the title page of the pray
er book. The matter will be discussed
| later
| The debate on the marriage and di-
vorce canons in the Episcopal general
convention yesterday was less vigor-
Gus.
Francis A. Lewis, of Pennsylvania,
who las charge of the matter on the
| floor, quoted the Methodist Rock River
conference and its recent discussions
| of the same topic. Arch-deacon De-
Rossett, of Springfield, disputed the
! charge. that the new canon is too far
ahead of American public opinion. He
pleaded for protection for the clergy.

quoted the recent action of Archbish-
op Farley, of New York in the famous
Clark divorce and remarriage pro-
ceedings, stigmatized it is worse than
Protestants have yet taken and held it
UP as condition to which the Epis-
copal church may be tending. The
church has no power to punish tha
EguiIty party and so it is trying 70 pun
lish the innocent one. The whole mat

said.
Nothing is being developed in the
] debate, that is new over that brought
out at San Francisco three years ago.
| Nearly forty delegates have thus TAR
| been heard, and fully forty more de-
sire to be heard Yesterday morning
the minority report was withdrawn.
This action those who favor the ad-
