FAILED TO REPORT.
Nevertheless an increase in Money
 Passed by Episcopalians.

Boston, Oct 1.-The triennial Episco- pal convention which Is in session here to-day met as the board of missions, the house of bishops and house of deputies, sitting together. There was much interest In the session on ac- count Of the widespread criticism of the apportionment plan for the assess, ment Of dioceses in support of the gen. eral mission fund. The report of Rev Arthur $. Lloyd, D. D., of New York, secretary, showed that many dloceses had failed to raise their share of the apportionment. The total missionary receipts during the year were $657 ,000. This sum is from all sources save lega- cies and is an increase over the pre- ceding year of $19,O00. There was n gain in parish offerings of $1S,0OO and of individual offerings Of S14,O00, but as there were losses i'll other items the net gain was but S19,000. The appor- tionment for last year was $63O,000. and the receipts to apply upon 1t were $413,O00, or shortage on expectations of no less than S217,O0O. The board, however, is not That sum in debt, but merely fell short of that amount in it's requests of the church. A large part Of the day was devoted to discussion of methods of improving the missionary organization and system.

St Petersburg, Oct z, S:11 a. m.-- The only reference made to the re- ported sea fight off Port Arthur is con tained in delayed special dispatch from Chefoo, which says that on the night of October 6 the sound of firing was heard in the direction Of Port Arthur and that searchlights were seen to be working in that vicinity. It is thought there may have been q bat tie, but no confirmation of the report of one has been received.
 The dispatch further states that in spite of the tightening of the Japan csc blockade junks are still arriving from the fortress bearing refugees, who say that all the attacks Of the Japanese have been repulsed and that 1t will be necessary to institute long siege and complete blockade in or der to reduce the fortress The block ade, according to the refugees, is not completely effective, junks continually arriving with food supplies and muni- tions for the garrison. The Japanese have instituted close patrol over the entire Yellow sea, stopping every ves- sel sighted.
 The captain of the British steamer Ghenan, which was stopped by Jap anuese cruiser while on her way to Chefoo from Ttlku, but was allowed to proceed after her cargo had been ex- amined, has made protest against the way he was boarded and searched on the high seas.

 Valued at nearly $4,000,OO0 the tor pedo boats occupied seventeen new steel flat cars and six box cars. the appearance of the entire train being not unlike the caravan of a circus. The boats were shipped in sections, and each car was covered with can vas which concealed the contents.
 There was not the slightest mark on any car to indicate the contents or the destination, and to the railroad en- ployes who Inquired the stereotyped answer was given that the covered masses were part of a large ship ment of machinery destined for the west.

Bella Perez was dragged about fifty feet and then tossed to one side.
 The tower man in a switch tower about hundred feet north of Jerome avenue heard the automobile as it broke through the fence and rushing to his window, saw the car strike the track. The Croton local was just POO feet away and the engine about fifty feet north of q block signal. Jumping to the switch levers he dropped the lever that worked the arm of the sig nal which was showing the green light and instantly the danger signal flashed before the eyes of the locomotive en- gineer, who just caught the red glare as his cab passed the signal post. At once ne reversed ms engine and put down the air brakes, but his speed had hardly slackened perceptibly when the train struck the automobile. The train came to stop In q distance of about 300 feet
 On the train was Health Commis- sioner Thomas Darlington, who took charge Of the work Of caring for the Injured. The locomotive engineer was arrested but was released on his own recognizance.
