THE SUNDAY OBEGOOTAN, POBTLAjn?, OCTOBER 23, l90f. MUST MID IT Bishops Reject Divorce Canon of Deputies. ISSUE UP AGAIN THIS WEEK Vote on the Compromise Mea sure Is 28 to 30. TWO POINTS ARE ATTACKED Bishops Must Not Be Required to Issue License to Innocent Party Adminstratlon of Sacrament Declaration Disapproved; BOSTON. Oct. 22. At the clow of the Fifteenth day of the Episcopal General Convention, the house of bishops and bouse of deputies "were still at variance on the question of marriage and divorce. The Issue will be taken before the latter body next week for the third time during the convention, tho bishops having de clined to accept without amendment the compromise measure adopted by the deputies on Thursday. The amendment to the divorce canon originally agreed upon by the bishops forbade the remarriage of any divorced person, the deputies declining to alter the old canon, which permitted the re marriage of the innocent person in a di vorce for Infidelity at any time. As a compromise, the deputies later, by an almost unanimous vote, amended the original canon so that the Innocent person could not be remarried In the church within one year after the divorce, the court records and other satisfactory evidence to be laid before the bishop to show that the -applicant was really Inno cent. The amendment also exonerated clergymen from all censure should they decline to perform the ceremony. The house of bishops today, by a vote of 30 to 28, amended the compromise so that the bishops of diocese will not be required to issue a license for the re marriage of the innocent person, even should the court evidence be satisfac tory, but will be merely called upon to declare In writing that In his Judgment the case of the applicant conforms to the reuqirements of the canon. The bishops also amended the clause referring to the administrations of sacra ments, so that if any clergyman is in doubt as to the regularity of the marriage of any person he shall refer the case to the bishop. The compromise canon of the deputies obliged clergymen to administer the sacraments to the "Innocent", person If he Is satisfied he or she were really In nocent. The house of bishops today concurred with the deputies In tho adoption of an amendment Introduced by Rev. "W. R. Huntington, of New York, by which spe cial forms xt worship for foreign congre gations affiliated with the church are permitted. The committee on the state of the church submltetd a long report, in which It was announced that the number of communicants had reported 803,305, an increase of 8 per cent in the last three years. The increase In the list of clergy was 62 per cent. They now number 6419. The number of new churches in the three years was 287, and the number of new congregations had increased at the aver age rate of three each week. Among the large number of revised canons adopted was one enjoining the ob servance of Sunday. It reads as follows: "All persons within this church shall celebrate and keep the Lord's day, com monly called Sunday, by regular partici pation In the public worship of the church, by hearing the word of God read and taught and by other acts of devotion or works of charity, using all godly and sober conversation." The old canon did not specifically state that persons should attend Sunday services. The house of bishops Indorsed the Hunt ington amendment, so called, which pro vides for special forms of worship for foreign people which, by this action, became a law. It was voted to have the prayer book translated into German and Spanish. CONFESSES WHEN DYING. Leader of Gang Gives Details of Train Robbery. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 22.

"You were the big fellow In the lead," said Combs. "Yes," said Morris. "I'm going to die, and I might as well tell the whole thing. I held up a special "World's Fair train at Columbus Junction. Ia., the latter part of July. We got nothing In the Job." The train robbed by the men was known as the Diamond Special on the Illinois Central. The robbers . entered the Pull man cars and went through them with drawn revolvers, taking all the money and valuables the passengers had, then stopped the train and disappeared. One or two of the passengers who did not re spond quickly enough were struck over the head with the robbers' weapons. The condition of Detectives James Mc Clusky and Morris Is critical. McClusky was shot In the abdomen, and Morris was wounded four times, twice In vital organs. It developed today that the battle was the culmination of a chase that has last ed four months. The detectives had in formation that led them to believe the suspects were Implicated in the robbery of an Illinois Central train at Centralis. HI., In addition to other crimes committed previous to and since the hold-up. Harry Vaughan, the only suspect who escaped the hall of bullets and who was severely injured by the detectives when he attempted to aid his companions af ter having been placed under arrest, 'is held at the Four Courts.

She will leave Monday for her trial trip over the Cape Ann course. from the viciinty of Tashan and also the eastern army behind Pienchlapu continued cannonade demonstrations for three days. The Japanese on October 17 began ehelU lng the headquarters of the western army as the staff was retiring. The Japanese used, it .is understood, nine or ten first range guns, the same ones, it is believed, used In shelling tho railway station at Liao Yang September 1. The shells in the firing on October 17 fell on both sides of the railway, destroying a soup wagon and three horses. No other damage was in flicted. On October 18 both armies were inactive. On October 19 there were dem onstrations in front of the eastern army, where constant sniping continued at short rifle range at Pienchlapu, at the apex of a triangular posllton along the Tang and Shakhe Rivers. Pienchlapu is an exposed town on tho south bank of the Tang River. In the event of attack It would likely be untenable. In which case both armies would be left In positions In strong passages on each side of the water course which, from present indications, is likely to divide the combatants throughout the Winter. The sparing fire of the Japanese seems to indicate a shortage of ammunition. Both armies are directing their main ef forts to resupply and reinforce. The tenacity of the fighting is unusual. The Russian troops persist In their efforts to retrieve their losses in artillery- It Is reported that an equivalent of half the guns lost by them have already been re taken, from the Japanese. The cavalry on both sides la reported to be conspicuous in these exploits, although the Russian cavalry has not yet realized the Import ance that was expected of it Although the Russian army 3ias again been defeated and Is without possession of any battlefleld, yet it has built moun tain roads and transformed a region by the construction of bridges, telegraph lines and defenses since It emerged from the hills north of the Hun River, October 4, where It was driven after the battle of Ldao Yang. Recrossing the Hun River by twin bridges In four places with light bag gage, as though expecting to retreat, then fighting an unexampled battle, It retained a line of battle which, though seven miles long on the east andten miles on the west Is north of where It was attacked by the Japanese. The vigilance of the Russians appears to Justify the proclamation of General Kuro patkln that there would bo no more re treats. The present cold weather, which is too severe to shelter the soldiers In tents, will probably determine in a fort night the question of Winter quarters. T.he Chinese inhabitants continue fleeing from the army and leaving their dead In the streets and fields. ports fewer losses than the left army, but there has been greater Russian casualties before It Last night the Russians fiercely at tacked the left army, but they were repulsed.
