crowd ever seen at Folkston is at thar
place today awaiting the trial of

The greater part of the crowd is

in about forty Altman supporters and
the indications are that all have come

TO THE CHURCH AT LARGE.
Pastoral Letter Read by Bishop Pot
ter Concerning Problems Now Be-
fore the Country, Especially the
Labor Question. and the Race Issue.
End of the Episcopal General Con-
ventiOn.

Boston, Mass, October 25.-The
t%riennial general convention of the
Episcopal church. has been in session
since October 4, was ended late today
with a public service in Trinity
church. From the pulpit Bishop
Henry C. Potter of New York, read a
pastoral letter addressed to the
church at large. The communication
thousand words. considered the prob
lens now before the country. Re-
garding divorce, the pastoral letter
said hat the faculties with which the
marriage relation may be taken on
and put off, is one of the menaces of
American civilization, to the possible
perils of which Christian people are
as yet very imperfectly aroused. The
letter made a plea for the perman-
ence and security of the family and
discussed other pressing questions.
Little business of Importance vas
transacted at the final business ses-
SONS.
A resolution permitting foreign
congregations, now in communion
with the church, to use forms OF SER
vice in their own tongue, was adopt
ed after a sharp contest. This leg
islation was enacted specifically for
the benefit of Swedish congregations
in Minnesota.
The next convention Will be held
in Richmond, Va, in 1907.
The letter takes up what it terms
"those two great problems which
now supremacy confront the repub-
lic," the labor question and the race
issue. Of the first it declares that
whatever labor organizations have
accomplished, they have mainly
moved along lines which are the
glory of our democratic institutions"
Touching the race problem, the let
ter, after referring to the appoint
ment Of a joint commission to inves
tigate the question say
IF by giving them (the negroes)
freedom, we nave only given them
the power to work mischief: and if
lynching has come to be defended as
a necessary protection to families,
then surely we are face to face with
a situation at once desperate and dis
honoring. We may not ignore it: we
cannot disown it. It is a part of our
social situation, and if the church
can have nothing to say about it, then
she simply disown her duty and her
master"

from 2 IL 10 3 csnts a pound since the
original meeting held in this city on
SpIember 27tn, and without exception,
every spinner was disposed TO give
credit to that conference and the acton
taken for the stimulus. Several spin
ners did not hesitate to say that they
had made good sales In accordance with
the urw schedules and all agreed that
the trade was recovering from its re-
cent state of Generalization.
The spinners finally approved the

ENGLISH NOTE TO RUSSIA.
No Direct Demands Are Made. Pend
ing the Receipt OF Russia's ExpIa-
natiOn-The Note StigmatizeS the
Act as Inhuman, Unjhstifiabie and
Deliberate.

st. Petersburg, Oct. %. 7:02 p. NJ
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, upon MS
return from visiting Emperor Nicholas
at Ts&rkoe Selo this afternoon, drove
direct to the British embassy where he
conveyed to Ambassador Hardinge, on
behalf of the Emperor, a message fer
communication to King Edward and
the British government, expressing the
Emperor's profound regret at the news
of the North sea incident, and stating
that the Emperor had not yet received
a report from his officers on the u
ject, but asking the British ambassa-
dor nevertheless to convey the assur-
ance that fullest PREPARATION would be
made to families of the sufferers.
Later the ambassador went to the
foreign office and formally presented
a copy Of his instructions. The note
was cOuched in a moderate but firm
tone. The note stigmatiZes the act as
inhuman, unjustifiable and deliberate,
but makes no direct demands r~eserving
them pending the receipt of Russia's
explanation. Neither does it place a
time limit upon the response. The note
recites the circumstances of the affair.
saying that a fleet of steam traWlerS,
carrying the established lights was ap-
preached by the Russian squadron
which threw search lights On the YES
sells and then deliberately altered it's
formation. One vessel was sunk, two
fishermen were killed, many were
wounded and several vessels were miss
ing after a b~ombardment Of the fish
ing vessels which lasted for a consid-
cradle time. The squadron then sailed
off. leaving a vessel of small tonnage,
which remained on the spot for SIX
hours.
The note points out that the indigna-
ton of the British people, heightened
by the inhuman conduct of the com-
manders of the warships in abandon
ing h sinking, crippled trawlers, was
further emphasized by the failure CT
the smaller warship to offer or render
any assistance, although it was impos-
sible for it during all that time to have
mistaken the true character of the
fishing vessels.
The note concludes with the state
ment that the British government is
awaiting Russia's explanation of this
unjustifiable act, pending the receip.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 26, $50 a. m.-
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's reasons
for firing into the British fishing fleet
remain as great a mystery as ever.
Again at midnight the admiralty an
bounced that the admiral'S report of
the affair had not been received. Mean
time without waiting the Russian ver-
sion of the affair, Emperor Nicholas
through Ambassador Hardinge, has
sent to King Edward and the British
government a message conveying an
expression of the profoundest regret
for the unfortunate affair coupled with
assurances that the families of h vic
Tins should receive the fullest repe-
ration. The British government also
shows moderation in the note which
Sir Charles Hardinge presented to For
eign Minister Lamsdorn this afternoon.
While it awaits explanation for an act
which it characterizes in strong lam
guage as unjustifiable, deliberate and
inhuman, it makes nc threats. fixes 10

no demands, the note specifically stat

In view OF the many false and

state to the company's shareholders
and the public that neither now. nor

iCompany or any of its constituent

business not directly related with n
necessary TO the petroleum trade. 1t
would be almost impossible TO desig-
nate in this denial the different

Isponsible parties have coupled the

may not be amiss to specify copper.

prominently mentioned. With none
of these affairs has the Standard Oil

of the business of the Standard Oil

holders may invest Neither is IL
true that the Standard Oil Company,

used by designing persons in the
manipulation of stock market, but its
use is u~nwarranted. The Standard

in making this denial for the Feaso
that statements being made at this
