APPEAL FOR PEACE.
Tragedy Is Appalling ane
World Will Recoii at Sicken-
ina SLAUGHTER.


Toxic, Oct. 1S.-There is a strong
appeal for peace in the appalling
tragedy which is now under enactment
In Manchuria. Both armies have fought
ferociously for a week, and desperate
fighting still continues. 1t is prob
able that the death roll will be largely
increased before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports Indicate that
about g. 1000 men on both sides haze
been. either killed OF wounded, the
larger portion of them being Russians,
since the armies of the two Eelligerents
closed in combat.
Even the japanese, to whom the great
victory Is of paramount Importance,
seem to be shocked by the slaughter OF
their enemies. The japanese people are
receiving the news from the field OF
battle calmly and there can be heard
no shouts in the streets proclalnlng
the victory of their nation. Few fags
are displayed. Probably later on there,
will be {. procession with the conse-
quent jollification, but there are heard
many expressions Of opinion that no
demonstration Of any kind should be.
held.
A prominent Japanese said to the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent:
I'VE have won a sweeping ana de-
cisive victory which may prove TO pc
the salvation Of our CountryS exist
ence, but we regret both our,oWn losses
and the terrible slaughter which our
forces nave inflicted upon the enemy.
We regret still more the necessity
which forced US to engage in this war.
A member of the diplomatic corps IN
an interview with the correspondent OF
the Associated Press said:
II believe the world will recoll from
the sickening slaughter of this battle.
Every interest Of humanity demands
the adjustment of the differences pc
tween the two nations and the procia-
nation OF peace. The situation between
the two ~belligerents is a delicate one,
but what a splendid triumph for d1plo-
macy it would be if peace could be ar
ranged. It seems to me that the ques-
ton of honor is no longer 1nVolVea-
If Russia feels that such a question IL
involved, surely the heroic and success
full defense of Port Arthur ana the
valor shown by Russian soldiers on the
fields of Manchuria should forever de-
termine the quality of Russian cour-
age Russians should remember that
the distance dividing her strength ana

are generally known. They are appre-
ciated by everybody and are not looked

INFANT MURDERED
HIS BABY SISTER
Boy OF 8, Jealous, Beat Out
Brains Of a New Born
Babe.
STRANGE INFANTS CRIME
After Killing the Little Rival He
Begged His Father and Mother to
Pet Him Again and Wondered
That They Did Not.

New York, Oct. 15.-Emmett Robin
son, scarce 3 years Old, murdered his
baby sister in her cradle at their home
in Nyack, N. Y, battering her brains
out with a bronze statuette. lnfantile
jealosuy tore his heart. He hated the
sister who, he thought childishly, had
taken his place in the affections or his
mother and father. No Il but a jeal-
GUS child could tell what thought, what
hope, what rag animated him.
He killed Gladys on Saturday. She
was buried today. And today. in his
home on New street. Emmett kept
plucking at his mothers skirts. at his
fathers sleeve, plainly wondering, as
they turned from him sorrowing. "Iha
baby is gone; why don't they pet me-
Mrs. Robinson told Coroner BittiG
that often after Gladys birth, emmett
told her he wanted the baby to go
away" Once she caught him tr1klng
| Gladys, once he upset the cradle IN
| which she lay.
At S o'clock Saturday evening. Mrs,
| Robinson left Emmett in q room with
the sleeping Gladys. He was on the
floor playing with a bronze ~statuette,
which, to amuse him, his mother had
taken from the mantelpiece.
Child Calls His Mother.
Five minutes passed. Mrs. Robinson
heard Emnlett's shrill voice calling:
Mamma. hurry; come, LOOK at bapy.
She rushed into the room. BY the
cradle stood Emmett grasping the stat
uette which was covered with blood.
A glance at the baby's head told the
mother the awful story.
The skull was fractured.
Coroner Bittig said: 1T is a re-
markable instance of infantile crime. l
am convinced that the boy knew just
what he was doing, and that he de-
liberately intended to make away with
his sister. He did not strike II blow
and then run to tell his mother; he
waited probably until the baby ceased
to cry out. The boy thought the baby
had s%upplanted him and he took the
only means he knew to get her out Ut
the way. The parents deserve great
sympathy, and l hate to think of the
consequence when the boy grows up
and realizes what he has o After
my inquest l rendered the only verdict
l could, tina Gladys Robinson was
killed by her brother, wnose tender age
makes him irresponsible for the deed

LESS IDLE MACHINERY
While Business Is Slow, Prospects Are
Brighter, Says Dun's
Review.

New York, Oct. H.-Dun's Review OF;
Trade says:
business is slow, but the leading
bra of manufacture contracts are
more readily placed for distant delivery,
while the percentage of idle machinery
steadily decreases. Satisfactory news
from leading iron and steel centers TENDS
to confidence elsewhere, as the
cons,mption of iron has been found a
good barometer Of business conditlohs.
:Jobbing and wholesale trade in fall and
WINTER wearing apparel expands gradual
Nv and such spring lines as were opened
met with O fairly satisfactory reception
considering the recent indisposition to
proyide for future requirements. Al many
noints the return of warm weather
checked the revival of retail trade IN
heavy goods, but as that movement had
heg,1n much earlier than usual, the net
res,,lt thus far IS better than last year.
Rus;nass operations have expanded, at
some cities establishing a noteworthy rec
ord for the month of September, and the
nernits recently issued promise well TOT
the future Labor is fairly we'll employed,
according to the last official trades report,
although the Fall River struggle mas iast-
ed logger than expected. Latest Reports
from foreign industries compare favor
ably with the corresponding time las:
