AT CHURCH
CONGRESS

London, Oct 5.-Extraordinary scenes
were witnessed in Liverpool yesterday in
connection with the annual Church OF
England congress now proceeding there.
The lord mayor held a reception at the
town hail. which was attended by all the
leading bishops and clergy OF the United
Kingdom. Then the procession formed up
and marched to the Cathedral. Large
crowds gathered I'm the streets to whom
several leading low churchmen. including
followers OF the late John Kensit's son.
and the Wycliffe preachers. an organiza-
ton founded by the late Mr. Kensit, had
previously distributed anu-ritualistic
pamphlets.
AS the procession. headed by the civic
regalia and the corporation, followed by
the bishops and clergy in their robes on
foot, neared the Cathedral the demon
strators commenced to shout, Down with
Popery." "Oh for Another Luther"
When the venerable archbishop OF York
appeared. his silver cross OF office held up
before him, the crowd booed and shrieked,
Traitors" 1T is poverty In the streets;
send them all 10 Rome"
Amidst a storm OF kissing and shouting
the archbishop passed into the Cathedral
unmoved by the uproar. A strong force
Of police was stationed about the building,
the authorities fearing more serious
trouble.

Some OF the critics point out that the
conditions at Port Arthur may force a
change OF Oyamas plan of campaign.
The continued failure Of the attaches on
the fortress and the enormous losses sus-
tained by the besiegers, they think, may
compel oyama TO dispatch some veteran
troops from tho Manchurlan army to
General Nodzu's support, as the reh-
forcements arriving at Port Arthur are
mostly reserve men. Unstinted praise Is
bestowed upon Lieutenant General stoes-
sci for the heroic defence made by the
garrison, which naturally is increasing
the hope that the fortress may hold out.
In the meantime General Kuropatkin is
receiving reinforcements, especially ar
tillery.
PASSIVE RESISTANCE.
Nevertheless all the experts express
great doubt whether Kuropatkin contem-
plates more than a passive resistance at
Mukden. where. they say, the topograph-
teal conditions are unfavorable for de-
fence
II is considered significant that the crit
ics generally agree that Tie Pass Is a bet
ter position both for defence and offence,
being protected by the Lao river on the
west and offering strong position on the
Kama range on the east. The general
conclusion Is that the japanese forces
will show their hands in n very short
time.
Evidence is accommodating that japanese
officers are at the head OF the bands OF
Chinese bandits. operating on Kuropat-
kin's right flank. and the continued re-
ports OF agitation among the Chinese
spread out by the anti-foreign propa-
ganda, are increasing the feeling OF anx-
iety. These factors will soon have TO be
seriously reckoned with by Russia

An Odd Jewish Ceremony.


In the Jewish Encyclopedia is an &c
count Of the queer ceremony of the
taking off a brother-in-law's shoe by
the widow of a brother who has died
childless, through which ceremony he
Is released from the obligation of lnar-
rying her. The ceremony is described
as follows:
The yabam (brothcr-in-law) must
have his right foot, on which the slar
Is placed. washed very scrupulously.
and after he has strapped it on be
must walk four cubits in the presence
Of the judges. Then the chief of the
Judges reads the following passage,
which the yabamah (woman) repeats
word for word: My brother-in-law re-
fuses TO raise unto his brother a name
n Israel; he will not marry me" Then
the yabam lis required to repeat the
sentence, II Go not wish to take her.
He then presses his right foot against
the floor While she looses the straps
with her right hand. takes off the shoe
and throws it some distance away.
Then she places herself in front of the
yabam. splits Gil the floor in front of
him and repeats these words after the
presiding judge: S shall it be done
unto that man who will not build up
his brothers house. and his name shall
be called i'll Israel the house Of him
that hath his shoe looSed.'"
