Those familiar with the rigOrs of the

In its session at St. Louis the Inter

lutions, one asking the President Of the
United States to call a new session of
The Hague conference and the other
asking the powers to intervene to effect
peace in the far East. The proposal to
hold another conference at The Hague

orally can arouse no opposition. The res
olution calling for the Intervention of the
powers in the Russo-Japanese war is an
other and far less practica BILE measure.
As matters now stand between the two
belligerent powers, Chicago paper says,
neither is in a position either TO ask
peace or to listen to offers Of friendly
mediation. The fortunes Of war thus far
have been distinctly favorable to Japan.
That nation would not consent to any
terms of peace which did not involve the
expulsion of Russia from Manchuria and
the placing of Korea under a japanese
protectorate. In all likelihood, the
japanese government would require also

that Kuroki could not attempt his

sufficient numbers to keep large
number of Russians employed there,
and so prevent them from being sent
to interfere with kuroki's flank march.
But the japanese did not surround
and capture the Russian army. That
is thing not often DONE
Kuroki, marching from his bridges
across the TaitZe, had twice as far to
go to reacn the railroad above Lao
yang as KOuropatkin, who was in
Liaoyang and on the railroad. In ad
dition, Kouropatkin has steam to in
crease his mobility, while Kuroki must
plow his men and transports over
wretched, muddy footpaths Small
forces in good positions could delay
Kuroki; there were no forces on the
railroad to check KOuropatkin.
There is no disposition to question
the cool-headedness of the Russian
general. He acquitted himself splen-
didly and conducted his retreat most
cieverly. But it were foolish, on the
other hand, to accuse Oyama Of in
competence for failing to surround his
foe. Such a task under the conditions
was preposterously difficult. If he had
achieved it he would have done some
thing almost miraculous. In that he
failed to achieve it, he is not to be
blamed.

such as Oyama won has been called

from Port Arthur
The Port Arthur situation remains
obscure. There has been some heavy
fighting. The Japs gained a few ad-
vantages, though probably at heavy
cost. The Russians are nov forced to
distill sea water because the Japan
csc have cut off the last remaining
fresh water spring of the Russians,
which was at Fort Etse Else and the
adjoining forts are not occupied by
either side, since these positions are
dominated by batteries of both sides.
The favorite attacks of the japanese
are along the railroad and from the
east flank. They have not demon
strated for some time against Liautf-
shan, the 1,512-foot fort which DOM
mates all the whole region. UndOubt-

NeY IOlk. streets commercial re-
port, trade, crop and
industrial developments have been
generally favorable this week. Distri-
buttons on fall and winter trade ac-
count have enlarged at most markets,
the corn crop has progressed another
week toward final maturity, which,
however, this year is later than usual,
and several industries hitherto greatly
depressed or operating on short time
have resumed running full. The in
dustrial situation is slightly less
strained than it was, and the beef
strike is now ended. In iron and steel
past and prospective price reductions
have encouraged inquiry, consumption
has finally overtaken production and
stocks of crude material are smaller.
With the beginning of the crop move
ment, which is reasonably heavy for
this period, has come improved collec-
tions and better railway earnings re-
turns. August results point to per
cent increase in gross receipts over a
year ago. All III all, lIC prospects
continue favorable for fairly active
trade in most lines, but nothing in
the way of record-breaking is looked
for in general business or in crop out
turn.
A fairly satisfactory jobbing busi-
ness has been done in New York in
dry goods; slight improvement IS
noted in Boston, and in Philadelphia
the dry goods jobbing trade has open
