\° l - LXIV N° 21.150 HARD FIGHTING NEAR YENTAI. JAPANESE DESPERATELY RESISTING THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE TO THE SOUTHWARD. Remit of Ttco Days' Engagement in Doubt — Both Sides Attack — A Great Battle Still in Come. The Japanese are stubbornly contesting \ho Russian advance south ward. A two days' engagement, whose result is in doubt, is reported a few miles north of Yentai Station. The Russians were compelled to re tire on Monday, but yesterday recrossed the Sehili River and resumed the battle. Both Russian and Japanese officials do not consider this action to be a general engagement. The fighting which is expected to mark a definite step in this year's Manchurian campaign will, it is believed, tnke place either on the north bank of the Tai-Tse or at Liao- Vang. Hope of mediation has been practically abandoned in (^reat Britain. The Russian war party is said to have regained its control over the Em peror, and the report that Count Lamsdorff will tender his resignation as Minister of Foreign Affairs is confir med by confidential dispatches 1 to em bassies at London. ARTILLERY IN ACTION ALL ALONG THE FROM. M«nV«en. Oct. II (II p. m.V— A Woody battle Is now raging r.t-out five miles north of the Ter.tai railroad station. The Japanese on Sun day fell back along the whole front and the Russian advance guard crossed th« Schlll River about half way between Moukden and IJao-Tang and came within thre* miles of T#-ntal. but yesterday the Ja panes* received strong reinforcements of infantry nnd artillery, e«<J not only held their position*, but even as sumed the offensive. The fighting lasted the entire day and nigjit. The Japanese directed their artillery fire with great skill and searched the Russian positions *" fiercely that the Russians fell back north of the Echllt River, which crosses the railroad seven miles from Tental. The Russians this morning resumed their ad vance, once more crossed the Schili River and encaged the Japanese two mile* south of It. A lerrlflc artillery engagement is proceeding along the entire front. The result of the battle Is Mill undecided. A Russian correspondent of The Associated Pr#>sf telegraphs as follows: I have seen a number of the wounded who have been sent hack from the front It In im possible nt present to enter into details of the operations, but the men are in infinitely better i-pirtts than were those wounded when we wen retreating' Every one Is confident, and the men ure ail anxious to finish the war in order to get back home. None of them, however, has any idea cf going home except as victors. We have enough troops, and the one determination of officers and men is to wipe out the Japanese. Toklo.

The Japanese are It! fluenced by a similar consideration, but the railroad no longer plays a foremost part In their plans. In view of the approaching close of navigation at Ylng-Kow, and of th*» fact that the line from Pltsu-Wo is long and cumbersome. arid liable to interruption, they must consider Feng- Wang-Cheng and Taku-Shan as sources Of Fupplies during the winter, ay.d the eastern communications of LJao-Yang are therefore of the utmost importance. The Yentai triangle is admirably situated to protect th«»se lines, and Field Marshal Oyama must hold It at nil costs. The problem now confronting General Kuropatkln is the capture of the fortified heights composing this triangle, where the Japanese will have the advantage of fighting behind breastworks and utilising thefr superiority In mountain guns. The general superiority of the jHKJMfso In mountain opera tions Is conceded. The Russian commander undoubtedly is nware of the difficulties of the t; *k. and is confident of his ability to overcome ther.i. If General KUTO patkta possessed an army of half a million men he could leave a pufTlrlcnt force to attack the triangle while lie moved with th<» remainder around the eastern and western flanks. This Is considered In the best Informed circles at the War office to be impracticable with the. numbers now composing General Kuropatkln's army, and a frontal advance is the only alternative. Oper ations, however, are likely to be marked by feints or, the right and left. The Japanese prob ably will make similar movements until both armies b«-eome involved in a grent struggle. General Kuropatkln telegraphed to the Em peror yesterday that tho Russian vanguard was in contact with the Japanese and that scouts were in action along the entire line. FleM Marshal Oyama's front has been rap- Idly narrowing under the pressure of the Rus sian advance and now does not exceed twenty miles, "xteudinsr from the Yental mines west ward beyond the railroad. TO STAND AT LIAO-YAXG. Baron Hayashi's View* — Hopes of Media tto n Sligh t . I»ndon, Oct. 11. — The British government Is closely watching General Kuropatkln's forward movement. Baron Bayashl, thf- Japanese Min ister here, conveyed such Information as he pos sessed to the Foreign Secretary, Lord Lans downe, on Monday. Huron H;iyashl deprecated the ridicule that Is being showered by the Eng lish press on General Kuropatkln's proclama tion, saying: Even the assumption of an Initiative must benefit the Rus^iun forces. I have no more >>»■- Jlef that General Kuropatkin's move is a bluff than I believe that Marquis Oyama's lack of aggression Is due to an attempt to lure Kure patkln Into a trap. The situation really seems simple. Oyama, adopting the most cautious method, ha* been fortifying step by step, and never advancing unless he was able to insure the absolute safety of his lines of communica tion. He must have had enormous difficulty in bringing up sufficient supplies and ammunition for his large army, which were greatly depleted THE LUIJKCtiIXG OF THE UNITED STATES GUXBOAT PADUCAH.

Warm Discussion Over Dr. Carter** Letter—Action Postponed. The Rev. Dr. Samuel T. Carter, a Presbyterian minister, of No. 33 West Kighty-second-st.. Manhattan, a member of the Presbytery of Nassau, was under discussion yesterday at the annual meeting of the Presbytery, held in the First Presbyterian Church of Oyster Bay. A letter sent by Dr. Carter to each member of the Presbytery niakts it possible that he may So tried for heresy. It was over the question as to whether Dr. Carter should be so tri°d. dropped from the Church or supported by the Presbytery thai the discussion was held. It was finally decided to put off action until the De cember meeting of the Presbytery. Dr. Carter's letter, which has been published in full, made the following statements, in sub sta:.Le: The whole scholastic theeiosj and the CalvlnistM ■jrstem that : - huilt upon i : Is untrue. The dS - trlrie of the fall of man in Adam is a blunder. Th« dortrinf f'f the Trinity has n»v<>r brought to me one r.-!\ of light.

The received atoti«-m«*nl doctrines of our Church. a'i angry <;<«l soothed and appeased by the blood of an innocent victim, I i-annol accept; but I be- I. .. with nil lav heart this: "God so loved the world thai h« gave his only begotten Son. that whosoever beii.-voth on him should not perish but her* everfasttns life." Any Man's philosophy of thr i.].<i ..r salvation, authoritatively enjoined. see-n-- a mere impertinent f when placed beside this ■bnpl« nn>l sublime declaration, and in this I rest. After the election of officers the discussion be gin regarding l»r. Carter's letter. The Rev. A. 11. Fish said that he and his board of older? felt that ■ clf-ipyinan who accepted the whole Gos pel of Christ should not be disciplined. He offered a motion that Dr. Carter not only be asked to r»!i!;im, but that he be invited to appear and more fully express his beliefs. The Rev. Mr. Merrill, >•( Brentwood\ seconded the motion. A rising vota was taken to determine whether to turn the case over te a committee or to dis cuss it openly. It was deckled to discuss it openly. A motion to go into executive session was lost. In the discussion that followed the church Ailed up with women and with members Of other denominations. Th..- Rev. Dr. Knedand P. Ketcham. of Free port, said he had known Dr. Carter for forty six year?', that he loved him like a brother, and ;.eld him always in loving regard. Then he re ferred to his statements as heretical. Dr. Ketcham said there wen only two things t«; do -to try Dr. Carter for heresy, or to drop him from the Presbytery. "He has denied the" Atone ment and is .1 rationalistic Unitarian." said Dr. Ketcham, warmly. The Rev. Mr. Fish demanded on what grounds he rould call ■ man ■ Unitarian who luid plainly expressed his belief in the divinity of Christ. l>.\ Ketcban said that disbelief tn the di vinity of Christ was not all that pertained to Unitariaiiism. and then offered a resolution t:i.it a committee be appointed to express the Presby lalra's high regard for l>r. Carter, and that the stated ' lerk be directed to remove his name from the roll. There was a storm of protest aft>-r the read hiK of the resolution. The Rev. Pr. Ketch.im de fended his position by stating that Dr. <\irter was a slnsjer, and not s prsaeasr. et a 9in«tna preacher. He said: He make* me think of ■ boy who thinks only Of his father's love. He bees nothing else. 3om«* one brings the boy a ni<»-i.iK> from his father, but th.> boy will not listen, saying it matter* noth- Ing, because he knows his father loves him. Now. it's all very wet! to lie upttmist'c, but there ;iie facts which cannot be ignored. Dr. Carter is like the man who docs not go out too see that it Is raining, but >its cooped up In h: house felicitat ing himself upon what 8 bright day it is. He Is an exhibitor? ...her. The character of his mind shows In the letter, all this I .-ay with the ut most affection for the brother. N.-vs-. we can ig nore the letter. Dr. Carter evidently does not fet-1 comfortable to remain h»re -in!-, sh »>■ Indorse Ills Views. We cannot accept -such views. Why. we should i" »»*orned if we seal him to the Con gregational Church. We must try him for heresy if we follow th- strict technical rul. s of the Pres byterian, but that i.« the very list thing I wish to bee done. Mr. Fish, .• \\.ir:ti persona!
