Good business Reports.

New York, Aug. 26.-R. G.. Dun a.
Cos weekly trade review says:
Distribution of autumn merchan-
disc is in progress unusually early
this year, and the volume of forward
business is so heavy that the last half
of 1905 promises to establish re-
markable record of commercial ac-
tivlty.
Current retail trade is we'll main
tanned. the urgency of orders receiv-
ed b. jobbers indicating dealers in
stocks are becoming depleted ana
there is little complaint regarding
collections.
Special reports regarding manu-
featuring conditions show with scarce
ly an exception that plants are work
ing close to full capacity, with little
idle machinery. Encouraging crop
prospects provide a large share of
good feeling. Railway earnings in
the first half of August surpassed last
year by 5.3 per cent, while foreign
commerce at this port last week ex-
ceeded the movement the year pre-
vious by $2,410.546 exports and ST.
100000 imports.

Eagerly Awaited az Petersburg.

81. Petersburg. Aug. 2G.-Every-
body in 81. Petersburg Is awaiting
Developments OF today Saturday In
the peace move and hoping a compro-
mise IS being Effected, the most likely
basis OF which, Il is believed, would
be no indemnity but a payment for
sakhalin to be left for future adjust
ment.
In fact IL was asserted Yesterday in
an exceptionally well informed quar-
ter that this was the only possible ba-
SIS for compromise.
The idea that President Roosevelt
might again communicate with the
emperor through the American am
bassador finds credence in Official
quarters. Exchange OF kilograms be-
tween Portsmouth and the foreign
Office continues, but the nature OF
these dispatches is a carefully guard
ed secret II can be asserted. how
ever, on the best authority that any
suggestion TO Russia from any source
whatever that the assent TO payment
Of indemnity would be most unwel-
come, though a sincere desire for
peace leaves her open for suggestion
OF compromise on other grounds.

CRIPPLE CREEK MURDER.
Woman Kills Alleged Paramour OF
Her Husband.

Cripple Creek. Colo, April 14.--Mrs.
Helen C. Douglas was shot and almost
instantly killed in room 307 of the Ma
tional hotel at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning by Mrs. S. w. Vidler. Mrs.
Vidler went to the room in search OF
her husband and seeing him in the
room when the door was opened by
Mrs. Douglas, she became enraged,
raised the revolver. and fired at the
woman, whom she had accused yester-
day of alternating her husbands affec-
tions. The bullet entered the victims
left breast and caused almost instant
death. Vidler had taken refuge in the
closet His wife became hysterical
after firing the shot. and ne came out
and took the weapon away from her.
Wider. who has been engaged in
mining and newspaper work in the dis
trict about eight years, engaged quar-
ters at the hotel several weeks ago
after a disagreement with his wife
which led to their separation. 1t is
claimed by Mrs. Vidler that she went
to the hotel this morning for the sole
purpose of consulting with her hus-
band regarding their thirteen-year-old
son. Walter, who had been punished
several times lately by his teacher.
She thought that he received more
punishment than he deserved and
wanted her husband TO see the school
authorities regarding the matter.
Mrs. Wider went direct to the room
which she knew her husband had en-
gagged at the hotel. Failing to find him
there, and having seen him in com
pany with Mrs. Douglas yesterday, she
inquired the number Of the latters
room and went there. Her feelings
overcame her when she saw her hus-
band and the woman together. and the
tragedy followed.
Mrs. Wider was arrested and admit
ted to bail in the sum of $4,000.
A coroner's inquest was held. the
jury returning the following verdict:
I'VE find that the said Mrs. Douglas
came to her death from gunshot
wound inflicted by Mrs. Sam Vidler at
the National hotel on April 18th; that
the said shot was fired by Mrs. Sam
Vidler while in a state of great mental
excitement and the said jurors are un-
able to state whether said killing was
feloniously done"
