THE WAR IN THE EAST.

Concealed from each others view by
a dense fog, the opposing armies in
Manchuria rested yesterday. The weather
conditions, however, we're favorable for
surprises and ambushes, and outpost
guards we're on the alert. The Russians
have been reinforced by about 30, 600
men, and, in all, six divisions of the
Russian army nos confront the japanese
left army.
Wednesday afternoon the japanese
made a sudden attack on the Russians
advanced position, southwest of Mukden.
The Russians made a counter attack,
and, according to Russian advices, the
japanese fell back, having sustained Sc
we're losses.
A correspondent with General Oku's
army writes that the seven days battle
north of Yeutai was the heaviest blow
yet struck the Russians, and estimates
the Russian casualties at not less than
25, 900. The losses Of the japanese left
army during the battle were 5000.
Adyces from Port Arthur state that
the Russian force now numbers 3, 900,
and the troops have little or no winter
clothing. On October ~ seven Russian
torpedo-boat destroyers emerged from
Port Arthur, proceeded 10 Shaopingtau
and bombarded the japanese LETT flank.
japanese torpedo boat destroyers drove
back the Russian boats and one Japan
csc vessel struck mine and was badly
damaged. The japanese haze captured
additional minor positions near Rihlung
Mountain. A camp follower arrived at
Chefoo and reports that so, 900 japanese
have been killed in the operations before
the forts.
A special to the Chicago Daily News
from Chefoo says: According to
camp follower, who has been for some
time with the japanese army now be-
sisging Port Arthur, and who is at pres
ent in Chefoo, having arrived from Dali
ny, the number of japanese killed be-
fore the forts has reached $4,000. He
says the Mikado's men recklessly at
tackled the strongest positions, making
wild rushes in masses, the soldiers being
stripped of their accoutrements and
clothing. The result was that the Rus
sian machine guns moved them down.
He also asserts that there is some talk
among the officers and men that leads
to the belief that the japanese mean to
try to carry the inner forts and citadel
this month"

county, while at breakfast at the Hotel
franklin, Hagerstown, yesterday morn
Ing, was taken into custody by the
officers, but after an interview with

To End the Strike.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 2l.-An action
which will probably result 10 the termi-
nation of the building trades strike in
New York city, was taken by the tile
settlers there late yesterday afternoon
when it invited Alfred Lawshe, head of
the Trenton Tile Company, of this city,
to serve on a committee of the manufac-
turers which will treat with the Tile
Settlers Union in New York next Mon
day morning with view to adjusting
the differences of long standing. Mr..
Lawshe has accepted the invitation OF
the union, and two other manufacturers
will be invited to complete the commit
tee. Considering the fact that the tile
settlers union is the strongest organiza-
ton in any of the building trades, the
request to have conference with COM
mittee OF the manufacturers make it APP
pear that the bosses may get the con-
csssions they are seeking.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

As stated in the Gazette OF that day
the House OF Deputies of the Episcopal
Convention in Boston yesterday adopted
the compromise report Of the committee
on canons, on marriage and divorce, and
if 1t is concurred in by the house of

law, permits the remarriage of the inno-
cent person in a divorce for the cause OF
inidelity, but further provides that no re-
marriage shall be allowed within one year
after a decree has been issued by civil
court. Satisfactory proof of the inno-
cence of the applicant for remarriage
must be furnished in the shape of court
records, and after the consent of the
bishop is obtained clergyman may re-
fuse to perform such ceremony without
subjecting himselfto censure or disci-
pine.

SOME DECIDEDLY plain talk was last
night INDUCED in by democratic orators
before an audience that filled Carnegie
Hall in New York, where speeches were
made by Senator Culberson, of Texas,
Gov. Montague, of Virginia, John
Sharp Williams, of Memphis, and Others.
A more sweeping arraignment of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his bombastic course
than that presented by Senator Culber-
son has not been heard during the cam
paign. Heattacked Roosevelt's Panama
policy, saying the President knew of the
conspiracy, and read letters showing the
guilty haste" about signing the treaty
and in giving aid to the rebellion. One
of the private letters of the President
was written before the revolt, in which
he said "be would be delighted if Pana-
ma were an independent State, or if it
made itself so at any moment" Is there
any wonder in the democrats saying that
Mr. Roosevelt is an unsafe man to be
prasident9

THERE Is trouble between the United
States and Panama. The latter govern
mept, sill in its swaddling clothes, is
realizing that it has been tricked by the
"mother republic" and that it is but a
small portion of the tail Of the American
kite. Gen. Davis, governor of the canal
zone, has virtually taken charge, and is
collecting revenues and absolutely rul-
ing the canal zone. The people of Pan
anna have suddenly come TO the couclu.
sion that they misinterpreted the terms
of the treaty, and accuse this country OF
bad faith when they find themselves
treated by the United States as residents
of foreign countries. The people of
Panama naturally protest against all
this. and the United States will again
send men-of.war to the Isthmus to nip
any trouble that may arise. But few
right-thnking people sympathize with
he promoters of the new government.
they rebelled at the insligation of this
country, made a coalition with it and
