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

Ao3h} wv Ais"OO3 . 4lCNlt" OI
Trade says:
Business is slow, but the leading
branches 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 strengthen confidence elsewhere. as the
consumption of iron has been found a
coed barometer of business conditions.
Jobbing and wholesale trade in fall and
winter wearing apparel expands gradual
ly, and sue spring lines as were opened
met with a fairly satisfactory reception
considering the recent indisposition to
provide for future requirements. AT many
points the return of warm weather
checked the revival of retail trade in
heavy goods. but as that movement had
begun much earlier han usual, the net
result thus far is better han last year.
Business operations have expanded, at
some cities establishing d noteworthy rec
ord for the month of September, and the
the future. Labor is fairly well employed.
according to the last official trades report,
although the Fall River struggle has last
ed longer than expected. Latest reports
from foreign industries compare favor
ably with the corresponding time las.
year and railway earnings in the first
week Of October were So per cent. larger
in 1903. All divisions of the iron and
steel industry are making progress, tardy
orders coming forward In greater num-
bers. While few contracts are recorded,
the aggregate tonnage is encouraging.
Failures this week were POS in the
United States. against 206 last year, and
in Canada "a. compared with 2S a year ago.

Episcopal Convention Divided on tn,
Question of Remarriaee of
Divorce Peonle.

Boston, Oct. 2o.-The house of bish-
Episcopal general congress-, today
adopted a general amendment to the
canon on marriage n divorce, forbid
ding the remarriage of any divorced
person. The amendment was substan-
TALLY the same as that rejected by the
deputies, Friday. The action of the
bishops was MOI unexpected, as the SEN
timent of that body IS we'll known.
In fact a similar amendment was
passed at San Francisco three years
ago. but failed, as this year, to secure
the support of the other house. A cor
ference of committees representing
the bishops and the deputies will be
leading clergymen do not anticipate
that the deputies will recede from their
vote of last week.
In the deputies today a proposed
canon providing n court of review to
which appeals may be taken from the.
ported and its essential features
adopted. though several minor provi-
sions went over until tomorrow.
Among those was one grouping the
dioceses n missionary districts into
seven provinces, each province to have

resolution which condemned 1.-The bru-

on the calendar.
The bishops at their late afternoon
session adopted an amendment to the
canon on marriage and divorce, pro-
hibiting %clergymen of the church mar
rying a person who has been divorced
for any cause.
The amendment is as follows:

RUSSIANS FEEL BETTER.
If Kuropatkin Can Hold the Hun eros
sinq Army Nav Escape.

sing Army May Escape.
ST. Petersburg. Oct is, 3:15 q. m.-The
news from the front tonight is more reas-
surfing from the Russian standpoint. The
situation is still regarded as being criti-
cal. but General Kuropatkin is apparently
holding the japanese firmly on his center
and right wing. even having re-crossed
the Shakhe river and while there are ru-
mors of an extensive Japanese anking
movement both on the east and on the
| west, there is no evidence that they are
actually occurring.
General kuropatkin's left wing has been
heard from. The Associated Press has

days fighting in front of Tulnin and Salt.

drawal of a strong Russion column which
had been sent to turn the Japanese light

penetrated a considerable distance inside
the Japanese side. The report of the op-'
e%rations of the Russian left wing is still
three days old and since that time no
news has been received from this column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows.
General ~Kuropatkin has slightly adj
vanced his center, reoccupying Shakhe,
south of the Shakhe river. Directly be-
hind him at a distance CT nine miles is the
Hun river and across the bridges spanning
this stream the Russians must retire in
case they retreat on Mukden.
Russians Must Hold Center.
General Kuropatkin must continue to
firmly hold his center and light flank in,
order to prevent the Japanese getting pos
session Of the HUI river bridges. Thus
he will cover the withdrawal of his APP
parently beaten west wing.
There is still considerable uncertainty
as 10 the disposition OF the left column
Certainly it has not returned to Mukden..
Whether it is again advancing after its
first withdrawal is not known.
1t is no longer a question of Russian
Sedan. though all hope of relieving Port
Arthur must apparently be abandoned
Little hope is expressed that kuropatkin'
will be able to continue to advance. The
four days fight of the eastern column was
OF the same desperate character that
marked the operations of the center and
right wing. A heavy Russian column I'M
der such leaders as 1vanhoff, Rennen-
kampf. Garngross and Krondratoyitch re-
peatedly assaulted strongly entrenched
Japanese positions on heights
ing the passes. The assaults were largely
night work. The cannonade was so furl-
Gus that 1t was impossible to advance in
the light of day. Finally on October 10,
when the passes had been actually occu-
pied. came the order to withdraw. prob
ably owing to q critical position at other
parts of the front. Here the story of the
operations of the eastern wings of the
Russian army ends.
Vice Admiral Rotjensky has been an
pointed adjutant to the emperor. General
Grfppenberg. who has arrived at ST. Pc
tersburg, will go to the front ten DAYS
hence to assume the of the Sec
ond Manchurian army.
