MISS BISHOP IN GOLF FINALS.
Bridgeport Young woman Meets Mrs.
 Sanford for Championship.

Philadelphia, oct. 14.-Miss Georgean- na Bishop Of the Brooklawn Country club, Bridgeport, Conn. and Mrs. E. s. Sanford of the Essex County club. Or .ange, N. J, will meet tomorrow on the links of the Merton Cricket club at Hayerford. to decide the women's golf championship of the United States. Miss Bishop has. on several occasions, figured prominently in championship contests, but Mrs. Sanford enjoys the honor of a seini-finalist for the first time. Mrs. sanforFs victories have been attributable to her splendid ap- preaching and deadly putting.
 Mrs. Sanford won her way into the final round by defeating Miss Pauline Mackay, of the Oakley Country club, who had disposed of the British cham pion, Miss Charlotte bod, in the first match play round. Miss Mackay ap- peared tired out from her past efforts when she met Mrs Sanford, and play ed her poorest match of the tourna- 4llSuts AS q IC9ulA S4iC War 0CdhSAA5 " ' up and 5 to play.
 In the match between Miss Bishop and Miss Harley of Fall River, both played sterling golf through the fair green, Miss Bishop winning up and 3 to play.

DIVORCE AMENDMENT IS
 REJECTED BY DELEGATES
EPISooPALIANS VOTE AFTER 4
 FOUR DAYS, DEBATE.

Entire Strength of Middle Western
 states Favored Forbidding the Re-
 marriage of the Innocent Party-Con- necticut stood by the old Canon
 Whole Strength of High Church
 Forces Given to Reform Movement.
 Boston, Oct. 14-The house of depu- ties of the Episcopal General conven- tion at the close of four days debate to-day rejected an amendment to the divorce canon which sought to prevent the re-marriage of divorced persons by clergymen of the denomination. While the house of bishops may yet act on the matter, it is certain that no change will be made by the present conven- tion.
 The present law of the church, which has been in operation since 1859, allows the re-marriage of the innocent party Ito a divorce granted for infidelity. At several conventions attempts have been made to repeal this law, and when a vote was taken to-day by the house of deputies, sitting as a committee of the whole, on the question of reporting the proposed amendment to the house itself, the reformers were successful by vote of 214 to 1s1, and this vote was regarded as representing the actual strength of the contending forces. The final vote, however, was taken by dio- ceses and orders, and where a diocese was evenly divided in sentiment it's strength was counted in the negative.
 The vote by dioceses was: Clerical, | for the amendment SO against 2l, di- vided 10; lay vote, for 25, against 24. divided 6.
 Practically. the entire strength of the middle western states, the stronghold of the high church party, declared for E the proposed reform, but the Pacific lstates and a number of the southern RSldIeS' NOleu# dBdlIlSL q Elldll6N VI ls4 lAASs present canon. The diocese of New York opposed the amendment, while lthat of Pennsylvania favored it. In New England Vermont, New Hamp- shire and western Massachusetts voted for a change, as did the lay deputies from Rhode Island The clerical dep- luties from Maine favored the amend ment, but the votes of Connecticut and Massachusetts were cast in the nega- ltive. The issue was not a party one although the whole strength of the high church forces was given to the reform
 movement. The president of the house Eof deputies. Rev. Dr. R. H. McKim, of Washington, D. e.. coted for the old
 canon. although the clerical vote of his diocese supported the proposed change
 The convention will have no session to- morrow, as the bishops and deputies will visit Lexington and Concord.

!. REVYV4L OF RELIGION.
Discussion of the Need and Prospects of
 1rc


 Des Moines. Ia, Oct. 14,-The discus- sion Of the need and prospects of q widespread revival of religion was the feature of to-day's session of the Ma tonal Congregational council. Four speakers agreed that the signs of an existing revival are present and that a better state of things is coming in the religious world. Rev. H. H. Proctor, a coldred clergy man, state dthat there was now a rev1v- al of religion in Atlanta, Ga. which Is shaking the city from center to cir conference, but, he said If l were to walk into one of the services, 1t would distract and destroy the reyi- val.''
 Rev. Araory H. Bradford. p. D., of Montclair, N. J, offered report, which stated that Congregatonalism had been and would be in perpetual hostility to poiygamy. The report was adopted.
 The session of the Congregational educational society, Rev. w. F.. Barton of Oak Park, III, stirred the meeting with his arraignment of what he called a lack of thorough religious spirit in existing educational conditions. He de- clared that more religion was needed in public schools, in colleges, in educa- tional work of social settlements, even in theological schools.

oTAMA,s MODEST REPORT.
Simply Says That He is Making saiis-
 factory Progress.

Tokio, Oct. 14.--1 D. m.-Field Mar Shall 0yanla reports that fighting is In progress along almost the entire Front and that the Japanese are making Satisfactory progress.
 l An extended report from the Man ehurian headquarters reached Tokio During the night, and was published this afternoon. It records severe fight Ing during yesterday, and additional Japanese gains. The contest around Bensihu at that time was undetermined Yesterday a force of Japanese cavalry Commanded by Prince Kanin, made a |hetour of the Russian left bank in the Fear of Bensihu, and partially scattered the Russian supports. The report is as follows:
 Several attacks O. the enemy made In the direction of Bensihu have been repulsed. The enemy showed signs of retreat at o'clock in the afternoon.
 Our force iii this direction began the attack early this morning, but the lat Fest stages of the operation have not been reported.
 "A large cavalry force, commanded by Prince Kanin, made a detour of the 'enemy's left flank in the rear Of Ben sihu and put the enen1y's supports in great confusion thereby helping our movement in this direction.
 Kanin's cavalry will again advance Toward the rear of the enemy.
 The right column of the right army IS now attacking the enemy at Chaoh- sienlen. The center column of the same army occupied the surrounding heights pf Lienhua and Maerh mountains. The left column is now attacking a remnant pf the enemy's force on a height north pf Shaotakou.

SEVENTY GUNS TAKEN
Unconhrmed Report of Correspondent
 With Jnpanese Forces.

|
 London, Oct. 15.-All accounts of the fighting south of Mukden that have reached London appear to confirm the completeness of the Japanese victory, and the only question discussed by mili- tary critics is whether General Kuro- patkin will be able to make as orderly a retreat as he did from Liao Yang, or whether the Jepanese possess suffi- cient fresh reserves to undertake a suc- oessful pursuit, in which latter case 1t lis believed the Russians will be com pelled to bandon Mukden. In this con- neotion the Standards Yentai cores pondent in a dispatch to a news agency from Tokio asserts that General Okus s army has occupied Pachiatse, only twelve miles from Mukden. It is consid- cred here, however, that the Japanese advance could hardly have pushed as far as these reports make 1t appear; and probably the error arises out of the difficulty of locating places mentioned in various reports
 Nothing reliable have thus far been received concerning the fate of the Rus sian force reported to have been isolat- ed in the vicinity of Bensihu.
 '! The Standards correspondent at Yentai, under date of October 10, says: l"The whole Russian line has been driv- en back over distance of twenty miles and seventy guns have been captured
 Pursuit is being kept up by strong force on both Hanks. There is good reason to hope that Oyama has suc- 5ceeded in enveloping the enemy The cause of the Russian defeat is that the Japanese army drove a wedge into the middle of the enemy's line.i Prisoners say General Kuropatkin personally commanded the troops on the main road and that General Mistchenko command ed at Bensihu brigade of infantry and a regiment of cavalry crossed the ETaitse river, but found themselves in a critical position and retired to the right bank, with the Japanese in pursuit. The Japanese hurled back sixteen coun- ter attacks upon their right. The army lost 5000 men in the fighting around
 Bensihu
 4 dispatch from Tokio to the Stand ard says: Tt is unofiicially reported ! that the Japanese right army has suc- fceeded in isolating a force of three to
 four divisions of Russians in the Ben-
 sihu- Kiaotau district It is rumored that Kuropatkin himself is with the force, which seems doomed to destruc- Ation. The central army captured elev- len guns and the. left army twenty five
 guns, while the spells of the right army are expected to be still more valuable. It is believed here that the disastrous
 advance was forced on General Kuro- Ipatkin from St. Petersburg. In any ease, his move was an unexpected God send for the Japanese army.''

RUSSIANS OPENED MAIL
 FOR AMERICAN MARSH P
PAINFUL REVELATION REGARD ING SEIZURE OF CALCHAS.

Pouch ReseaIed and Sent to Its Destin-
 atIon-strOng Protest Likely to be
 Made by Tkis Goyernment-NavyD De- pertinent Says Mail Bag Did Not Com
 tain Any OmciaI Communications.
 Washington, Oct. 14.-It developed to- day that a pouch containing mail for the United States cruiser Cincinnati then at Nagasaki. Japan, which was aboard the British steamer Calchas. when that vessel was seized by the Russian Vladiyostok squadron. had been opened while in the possession of the Russian officials. re-sealed and sent on to it's destination. This in formation came to the postoffice de- partment to-day in communication from the Japanese postal administra- tion. The matter will be referred to the state department for acton as was done with the case of the ordinary United States mail on the vessel at the time she was seized.
 This latest phase of the seizure of the calchas mail has caused a painful surprise in official circles, and if the act of opening the pouch addressed to the Cincinnati was willingly done the probability is strong protest will be lodged with the Russian government.
 It is stated at the navy department that the mail pouch referred to did not contain any official communications, simply mail tor the men on board the ship.

Ordered Lest Flank to Retire for Fear
 It would be Cut on.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 14.-General Ku- ropatkin reports that he has ordered the Russian troops on his left flank to retire, because Japanese Inducements threatened to cut them off.
 The czar has received the following dispatch dated yesterday, from Gen. eral Kuropatkin:
 Two regiments of the Russian right 6on October 12 sustained heavy losses. The commander of one was killed and the brigade commander was wounded. Both regiments were compelled to with draw, abandoning their artillery, but subsequently under Colonel Vainnov- sky, who temporarily assumed com- mand of the brigade, they after a dep- perate assault regained possession of the guns with the exception of sixteen, which remained in the hands of the Japanese. The final issue of the bat tie Wednesday on this flank was un- successful for us. On account of a night attack of the Japanese, who ex- ecuted turning movement, our troops were forced out only to abandon their positions, but again lost the guns pre- viously recovered from the Japanese. Our forces retired to positions previ- ously prepared on the Shakhe river" !"
