 FavOrs Leaving Matter as it is-
 Bishops Lines and Brewster on the sunday School Commission.
 Boston, Oct. 11-A proposed change in the canons of the Episcopal church whereby clergymen are forbidden to re- marry any person who has been di- vorced was discussed for two hours by the house of deputies at to-day's ses- sion of the Episcopal general conven- ton. The house of deputies was sit ting as a committee of the whole, and the consideration of the subject, re- garded as one of the most important to come before the present convention. will be taken up from time to time un- It'll the matter is finally disposed of. The present canon on marriage permits the re-marriage of the innocent persons in a divorce suit wherein infidelity is alleged For some time there has been Ia strong sentiment in the church that the clergy should not re-marry even the innocent person.
 The committee on canons, of which Rev. Dr. F. F. Davenport, of Memphis, Tenn, is chairman, presented an amendment to the present canon for bidding re-marriage of any person who has been divorced. A minority report permitting the present canon to remain as it is, with the exception of an added provision for the presentation of court evidence when an applicant for re- marriage appears before a clergyman, was submitted by Rev. Dr. J. Lewis Parks, of New York, and others. Rev. Dr. Parks, R. H. Battle, of RaI- eigh, N. C., and Rev. G. B. Van Wa lters,. of Portland, Oregon, spoke in be- half of the minority report, while ths majority report was advocated by Rev.
 John Williams, of Omaha, Neb.; B. F. Bailey, of Chicago; Rev. Samuel Ring gold, of Knoxville. Tenn, and c. H.

ANOTHER DEATH MAKING LIST
 OF SIXTEEN.
Herman Sachs Dies shortly After Being Admitted to Roosevelt Hospital Another Man In Dangerous Condition Mob Attacks saIoon-smashes Door and windows-Governme starts In vestigation.

New York, Oct. 11.-When Herman Sachs died tonight in Roosevelt hos pital, twenty minutets after he had been admitted as a patient, another death was added to the long list of those which Coroner Scholer believes were caused by the use of wood aleo- hol in the whiskey, sold in the saloon of Rudolph Fritsche. There are now sixteen deaths on the list. Sachs was seized with violent abdominal pains this afternoon. Coroner Scholer was notified, and hurried investigation showed that the stricken man had been drinking whiskey bought at Fritsche's saloon just before the police took po- session of the place.
 Hardly had Sachs been sent to the hospital when the coroner learned that a man named Gaffney, living in West Forty-third street, was suffering from the same symptoms following the use of whiskey bought in Fritsehe's saloon. Gaffney was hurried to the hospital and was alive at a late hour tonight.
 Fritsche's saloon in Tenth avenue. which has been guarded by a police man since it was. closed yesterday aft ernoon, was attacked tonight by a mob of hundred and fifty residents of the neighborhood, who hurled bricks and stones at it, smashing in the door and windows.

 MulSden, Oct. 1f-11 p. m.-A bloody battle is now raging about six miles north of Yentai railroad station, The |Japanese on Sunday fell back along the whole front and the Russian advance guards crossed the schin river (about half way between Mukden and Liao Yang) and came within three miles of. Yentai; but yesterday the Japanese re- lceiyed strong endorsements of in 'fantry and artillery and not only held their positions but even assumed the offensive. The fighting lasted the en- tire day and night. The Japanese di- lrected their artillery fire with great skill and searched the Russian posi- Itions so fercely that the Russians fell back north of the schili river, which crosses the railroad seven miles north of Yentai The Russians this morning resumed their advance, once more cross- ed the schili river, and engaged the Japanese two miles south of 1t. A ter rife artillery engagement is proceeding along the entire front. The result of the battle is still undecided.

should turn out to be correct. MT. Burleigh says it is believed that Field Marshal 0yama and his stan VIII re- turn or be recalled to Japan, ostensl- bly because the army is going into win ter quarters, and General Nodzu will take over the command.
 Tt is now well known amongst the better classes of Japanese" MT. Bur leigh adds, that it was Nodzu who saved the situation at the battle of Liao Yang. Oyama and the headquarters had actually ordered a retreat, when Nodzu vigorously protested against such a step. and begged them to make another desperate effort, he more dt- rectly cooperating with Oku's right. To Nodzu, therefore, is due the sole credit of averting disastrous retreat, which he warded off by sending in and aImostsaerificing the entire Twentieth regiment of the tenth division"
 According to MT. Burleigh, the Jap- anese still have no intention of proceed ing much further north than Mukden, and they will only under exceptional circumstances attack Tie Pass this sea- son. MT. Burleigh concludes:
 General Nishi, commander of the Japanese second division, will become. governor of Manchuria.'
 Commenting editorially upon the statements in MT. Burleigh's core spondence, the Daily Telegraph says:
 The recall of Oyana is almost in- conceivable. It is oyama's war, plan |ned and carried out by him, and his re call would be sign that Japan, her emperor and ministers were suffering from an acute attack of nerves and had begun to doubt themselves"

As 4 COUNTER ATTACH
Probable Ground of the Expected De-
 cisfve Battle.

clSAte DuttACs
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 12-2:1O a. m.-- sSevere fighting north of Yentai, result ling in temporary check of General
 Kuropatkin's advance guard, of which the Associated Press correspondent tel segraphed the first news, is not regarded at the war office as indicating a gem Seral engagement. The latest official dis spatches indicating the disposition of the 7various corps show that the whole army I is not yet in line of battle. The pres ent engagement may therefore be re-
 garded as the result of a counter at 5tack, which an contemplating foe like the
 Japanese may be expected to make, but
 without any calculation to prevent the Russian advance. General Kuropat- akin's present superioty in numbers it is .held here, is bound sooner or later to Aconpel the Japanese to fall back upon Btheir strong positions within the trian- ] gle formed by Yentai, Liao Yang and 7Sykwantun. Everything points to that
 districts as being the prospective scene aof the decisive struggle of this years 4campaign. Strategic reasons of the most weighty character render 1t inn lucrative for the Russians, as well as for the Japanese, to bestow their chief sattention upon the country east of the railway. The Russians are compelled | to this course because the railroad runs snortheastward, and hence lines of com
 munication are most vulnerable from the east. The Japanese are influence led by, a similar consideration, but the srailroad no longer plays a foremost part I in their plans. In view of the approach ing close of navigation at Yinkow, and l of the fact that the line from PitseWo lis long and cumbersome and liable to Interruption, they must consider Feng Wang Cheng and Takushan as the source of supplies during the winter, ' and with this in view the eastern com 8munications of Liao Yang are of the
 utmost importance. The Yentai tri-
 angle is admirably situated to protect them. Field Marshal Oyama must
 therefore hold this triangle at all costs.
 The problem confronting General Ku-
 ropatkin in the immediate future is
 the capture of the fortified heights com-
 posing this triangle, where the Japan ese will have the advantage of fighting behind breastworks, and utilizing their asuperiority in mountain guns. The
 general superiority of the Japanese in mountain operations is conceded. The
 Russian commander undoubtedly is aware of the difficulties of the task before him, has measured them we'll, and is confident of his ability to over- come them. If General Kuropatkin
 possessed an army of half a million
 men he could leave a sufficient force ] to attack the triangle while he moved
 with the remainder around the eastern and western Hanks. This is considered ] in the best informed circles at the war office to be impracticable with the num-
 bers now composing General Kuropat- 1 kin's army, and a frontal advance is
 the only alternative. Operations, how
 ever are likely to be marked by feints on
 the right and left. The Japanese prob l ably will make similar movements un- l til both armies become involved in a
 death struggle.
