Boston, October 12.--A marked division of sentiment regarding the proposal to prevent the remarriage of the innocent party to a. divorce, during the life of the former partner, developed at today's ses- sion of the house of deputies at the Episcopal general convention. The house. sitting as a committee of the whole, dis cussed the issue all day and many vehe- ment addresses were made by both sides.

Robert Ritchie of Philadelphia, and other leaders of the high church party, spoke strongly in favor of the proposed legislation Dr. F. W. Campett of San Francisco, Rev. Dr. l.. o. Kinsolving of Brooklyn and several other deputies op- posed a change in the canon.

Spooner left the meeting shortly after he had spoken on the subject. He took this step, he said, inorder not to embarrass others whose views might be different from his. The conference lasted several hours.
 Before the meeting adjourned a resolu- tion was passed unanimously in favor of the ticket being kept in the field.

Mikado's Message Is Captured.

Headauarters of the Russian Western Army, Mukden, October Il, via Pekin' October 12-Russian dragons have cap tured a copy of a message from the em- peror of Japan to his troops, in which the mikado says he is still awaiting the de- cisive defeat of the Russians It Is ap- parent from his intelligence that the Japanese are equally preparing for inn portant events. There have been daily engagements between the advance guards along the entire line of thirty miles
 The Japanese appear to be apprehen- sive of a cutting off movement, owing to the fact that Russian cavalry are south of the Taitse river, and also owing to the presence of Russian forces yes- terday in the old positions and fortifica- tions at Pensihu. They have therefore fallen back.
 The strong position at the Yentai coal mines, which has been the cause of ap- prehension to the Russians. was vacated by the Japanese October g, though they are throwing up earthworks toward the west, where the superiority of the Rus sian cavalry will require superior de- lenses.

Delaware Factions Get Together and After So Long a Time succeed In Naming Satisfactory
 State Ticket.

Fairmont w. Va, October ne see- ond day of the Davis campaign through Maryland and West Virginia has peeh more intense and satisfactory III 'ie campaign than the first. It has also aooeo to inc renutation of MT. Davis as a .young" old man. He repeated his rec ord of yesterday with a dozen speeches' and added one more for good measure.
 Despite the rain which followed the train during the first half Of the oay' there was no dampening of entnuslasiii nor diminishing of the crowds which greeted the candidate. At Grafton and Clarksburg the day seemed to pc SCI apart as a holiday. In the latter place an elaborate marching escort and seV- eraI bands were in waiting the party was conducted to the court house, and the speeches which were delivered from the portico of the jail building adjoining were listened to by the largest outdoor au- dience vet assembled on the journey.
 An indication of the earnest sue of the campaign was the attendance Of Miners' begrimed with their work, which they had left temporarily to listen to speak CTS.
 Puts Hearers at Ease.
 While Mr. Davis is a serious talker, especially when he touches state issues, which he has been emphasizing, his gem eral address and unique manner of ab- ruptly introducing himself, 'I suppose you know l am Davis, who Is flying through, looking for friends and votesT' has the effect of placing his hearers at l ease after they have eheered the an nouncement.

Davenport. Iowa, Oct 12-With speech al the Turner opera house in this city tonight, Senator airoanks concluded his tour of Iowa
 The crowd at .he meeting here tonight was large, but the meetings of the day were not, upon the whole, as well at tended as were those or yesterday.
 Senator Fairbanks at tonight's meet ing discussed the question of imperialism. making the point that the United States had carried the principles of republican government into the Philippines, and na- tional duty compelled this government to go there. The Philippines. he said, came to the United States as one of the fruits of great revolution in the pro- gress of the civilized world. He also de- fended the tariff and the currency poi- cies of the Republican party. His speech es during the day were along these lines.

 Taitse river, rendering hazardous Russian attack there.
 The preliminary line of battle after the two armies have been reinforced and re- formed for a month past, as determined by the Japanese stronghold of the rail- road bridge and the Liao Yang defenses today, runs southeast to northeast from the hills opposite Benshu to Yentai. thence to Tousan Pu, ten miles west of the railroad, where for three days the battle line has been wavering.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press witnessed the Russians take and re- take Tousan Pu, and saw the Japanese burning their bridge over the ShalShe river on their last retirement of Octeber g. The Japanese were reinforced aht e newed the attack October 10 with two battalions and two guns. forcing the line back on the Russian right. without, how ever, achieving any important result.
 Cannonadng Without Result.
 The Japanese cannonading yesterday was for the purpose of disclosing the Russian position, but it was apparently without result. except as showing that the Japanese are disposed freely to make battle within ten miles of the railroad. The heaviness and regularity of the cannonade since o'clock ,...s morning in the foothills and west of the railroad, indicate that greater fighting Is in pro- gress. The condition of four Japanese wounded who were sent by the Red Cross to Mukden. and other prisoners taken. shows that part of the Japanese troops are inadaquately clo.ned for the present cold weather.
 Along the battle line some of the Chi nese have built Lomb proofs, from the protection of which they are gathering hatu a ita IF Chinese are moving their effects here and there amid the ruthless waste of their grain and other property by the contend ing armies.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS
 IS DISAPPOINTED
Attendance at Final Meetings In Iowa Is Not as Large as
 Expected.

Marengo. Iowa, Oct. 12.-At this point Senator Fairbanks entered the second congressional district in the state repre- scented by Democrat. He was met here by A. F. Dawson. the Republican candi- date for representative. Mir. Fairbanks made at different places a strong appeal for MT. Dawson's election and for a solid Republican delegation at Washington.
 The Marengo crowd was not so large as some others in Iowa, but Senator Fairbanks was cordially received, and his remarks warmly applauded. He ad- dressed himself largely to Democrats, contending that Republican administra- tion is far better calculated than Demo- cratic administration to promote the gen eral welfare
 The last stop previous to that at Ma rengo was made at Brooklyn, Iowa. Sen ator Fairbanks talked there of imperi- alsm, but before entering upon the sub ject made brief reference to Republican policies. He commenced President Roose- vet as an able expounder of them.
 The crowd at Brooklyn was large and the applause was unlimited in volume and duration In brief speeches at Brook lyn and other points, Congressman Lacey referred to Senator Fairbanks as "presi- dential timber"

 Apparently Field Marshal Oyamas at
 tack was nicely timed to interrupt the strong turning movement that was threatening Liao Yang itself. The right army, reporting last night, says:

 on an upper stream of the Taitse river.
 Enemy Has Eighty Guns.
 '"The enemy is holding a line from Tu- mentsu Pass to Bensihu, and east of | the roadway. He has eighty guns and fully two divisions of infantry.

DEMOCRATIC UNTRUTH.
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty of In
excusable FaIsification.

excusabIe classification.
1t seems that Judge Parker is not
more veracious than d. 3. Hill and other
truth-shaders of the Democratic party.
In his speech of acceptance on Aug. 10,
Parker made the amazing statement that
the cost of maintaining American rule
i'll the Philippines amounted to $3.50, 000,-
600. This sum is so far from the true
amount that it was expected the Demo
cratic candidate would explain his error
but it does not seem to be his policy to
make corrections. Secretary of War
Taft, who has had more to do with the
government of the Philippines than any
other man, waiss2 nearly two months for
an explanation nom Parker, but none
came. Finally, ION Oct. 6, Mr.. Taft in a
speech at indianapolis, showed the utter
falsity of Parker's statement, pointing
out that the sum named was a gross ex-
aggeration. Instead of $65O,000,00O, as
stated by the Democratic candidate, the
cost of the Philippines to the United
States has been only $169,000000, besides
the $2OOOO,OOO paid to Spain, making
the total cost $1S9,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Taft
added that the cost year for maintain
ing courts, and the additional cost of
ludIHIalIldHS 1O,UUU troops III Une IMllp-
pines instead of in the United States, all
taken together, do not exceed $5,O00,OO0
year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
rotary Taft publicly called attention to
Parker's misstatement, but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring the
correction. Now comes w. J. Bryan
who has been too busy trying to straddle
Parker's gold telegram and 16 to 1 to
learn facts about anything, and repeats
the Parker statement. Bryan is talking
anti-imperialism, and, in trying to
strengthen his arguments. is telling the
people that the Philippines have cost
SGoO,OOO0O0-the same untruth uttered
by Parker If Parker made mistake
and was too cowardly to correct it, it i'll
becomes Bryan, who has nothing to gain
by lying, to ape the New Yorker.
This incident is merely fresh evidence
that Democracy is conducting a cam
patgn of misrepresentation and deceit.
