RussIns ACTION CREATES ALAR,


Graat Uritain Worries over The Stu.
ntinn IN the Orient.
London, Oct. 25.-A dispatch from
Shanghai yesterday afternoon an
nouncing the departure of the fleet of
Is Russian war ships from Vladlvi-
stock for Chemulpo and Flu San, Corea,
and the Times dispatch from Hong
Kong announcing that Russia had OBJ
tanned the right to anchor her fleet at
Port Arthur and construct railroads on
Laio Tung peninsula (both of which
were cabled exclusively by the Asso-
ciated Press) are looked upon generally
as sudden reopening In an unexpected
quarter of the far eastern question in
the widest sense. The Shanghai dis
patch added that the Japan fleet in
Formosan waters had been recalled,
several British war ships had been or
dered to Corea and preparations for a
struggle were visible on all sides.
A Hong Kong cabinet message to the
Times caused that paper to remark edi-
torially today: Russia can not possi-
bly, imagine that the great powers view
with indifference such destruction of the
balance of power, which is almost I'M
paralelled in its audacity. The Chinese
option to purchase railways is jest al
most too cynical to find place in any
serious diplomatic transaction. Under
the indicated conditions Manchuria has
practically become Russian province,
while Pellin will be within Russia S
grip"
1t is admitted here that the situation
presented is so grave that should the
news prove true, 1t would make war in
which several nations would take part.
1t Is more than probable, it should be
added, that there is every reason to be-
lleve that the story from Hong Kong is
authentic. The afternoon papers of
this city all publish long articles agree
Ing that British Intervention in the
east is necessary.

BRITISH LION R0ARS
Russla's Move Toward the Pacific
Stirs Him Up.
THE PRESS TALKS OF WAR
China Said TO lmperil commerce
of Great Britain.

London, Oct 25.-Referring to the
eastern question, an editorial in the
Chronicle says:
I'VE think that thus menaced by Rus
STA, Japan Will refuse to evacuate Port
Arthur. It is not inconceivable that II
Russia attempts such a step England
and Japan viii form an offensive and
defensive alliance. If Lord Salisbury
VIII only be able to make up his mind
what to do and how to do it he has a
chance to gain high credit for himself"
The st. James Gazette says:
Even war with Russia would be less
disastrous than to allow her without a
blow to get such grip upon China.
She could throttle all the other powers
and choke off their commerce. Unless
Russia and China gave the necessary
assurances, it is case for an ultima
tum, and perhaps the most serious step
our diplomacy has had since the Grim
can war"
The impression Is general in the
official world, and it is re-echoed by the
press, that neither America nor Ger
many can allow the Pacific to become a
Flanco-Russian lake. as the Globe puts
II, and it is generally thought that dip
lomats will be sufficiently strong to
combine to resist Russian aggression.
The Pail Mall Gazette sums up the
startling news from the far east with
the statement that Russia has annexed
China, and in the course OF long ar
ticle on the subject adds:
IF this treaty is to stand, roll up
the map of Asia"
In conclusion the Pail Mall Gazette
urges the occupation of Port Hamilton
by the British and the immediate
strengthening of the British fleet in
Chinese waters. lest the japanese lose
their fleet at the first blow
Since this important news circulated
the greatest activity has been displayed
in the government office here, principal
ly at the foreign and admiralty office,
and the coming and going Of messen-
gers was continuous throughout the
morning and business hours of the af-
ternoon. AT the different clubs the
war scare in the east is eagerly dis
cussed. the grave situation of affairs
in Venezuela having almost completely
dropped out OF recollection in the
alarm of the moment Nobody seems to
doubt the report that by the recently
agreed-upon Russia-China treaty, Rus
STA has obtained rights to which the
most favored nation clause is not appli-
cable. which may cause a great war.
The correspondent of the Times at
Hong Kong, who sent the sensational
news, is described as being sin close
relations with men who are able to
penetrate beneath the surface of things,
and 1t is therefore concluded that the
news he has just sent can not be disre-
garded."
The foreign office declares today that
1t has no confirmation of the report.

A Scouts Marvellous Faculty.

Every one who has spent much time
upon the frontier has heard of the
remarkable faculty of Dolores San
chez, the famous trailer of New
Mexico and Southern Arizona. So
eminent an authority as General Mel
son A. Miles, who has had unusual
personal knowledge of the work of
trailers and scouts, is quoted as saying
that some of SancheZ's accomplish
ments are more than extraordinary
and that his powers bore on the myth
cal. General Kruger tells the following
story Of an experience with this re-
markable man to show the skill of an
expert scout: II was once in pursuit
of lot of Comanches, who had been
followed, scattered, and the trail aban-
doned by q company of so-called Texas
Rangers. On the eighth day after the
scattering Sanchez found the trail
from single shod horse. When we
were fairly into the rough, rocky
Guadaloupe Mountains he stopped,
dismounted, and picked up from the
root Of tree the four shoes of the
horse ridden by the Indian.
with grim smile he handed the
shoes to me and said that the Indian
had tried to hide the trail For six
days we journeyed over the toughest
mountains, turning and twisting in
apparently the most Objectionable
way, not man in the whole command
being able to discover. sometimes for
hours, a single mark by which San
chez might direct himself. Some
times ] lost patience and demanded
that he show me what he was follow
ing. POGO tempo pretty SOON. he
would abtractedly answer, and, i'm u
longer or shorter time. show me the
clear-cut footprints of the horse I'm the
soft bank of mountain stream or
point with his long wiping-stick to
some other most unmistakable sign
Sanchez led us, following the devious
windings of this trail for over 100
miles, and, only three or four times
dIsmounting so as to more closely ex-
anime the ground, he finally brought
me to where the Indians had re-
united"

Uncle Allen Advises.

Il notice. my dear" said Uncle Allen
Sparks to one of his nieces. that when
you have Il toothache it's the worst
you ever had. The young man who
WAS here last night was the ugliest
fellow you ever saw. According to
your statement little while ago, 1t
took you forever and II day to learn
how TO make sponge cake. The
house. YOU say. is full of flies. You
have just declared tina 1.-THE room Is as
hot as an oven. you have the dreadful
est headache you ever had i'm your life,
and the boy across the road is making
the fearfulest racket a boy ever made.
Don't you see, my child, this sort Of
thing won't do? Some time i'm your
life you will really have an experience
requiring the speculative degree to
describe it. and you won't be able to
convey any idea of it. You will have
used up all your adjectives. That is
all You can go TO humping the piano
again."

All Are Without Fingers.

In a Lincolnshire village in England
lives a family who suffer under the
curious deformity of being fingerless.
This popularity, says Pearsons
Weekly, does not appear to be one OF
those freaks of nature which may
appear in one individual and not be
transmitted to the next generation
From what can be learned, the sin
gularity has existed in the family so
far as history or tradition extends,
and there seems ut present no signs Of
its dying out, as the grandchildren are
as devoid Of fingers as their grandsire
The hands of this remarkable family
present the appearance of having had
the fingers amputated or chopped off
roughly and unevenly below the sec-
ond joint, leaving short stump.
There is no nail or hard substance,
and were it not for the absence of
anything like cicatrice a casual OBJ
server would conclude that the defect
was due to an accident; but, as though
nature had attempted to compensate
for the absence Of fingers, the thumbs
are abnormally large and strong.
The family are i'm other respects
fully endowed by nature and do not
appear to suffer the disadvantages
the absence Of fingers might be ex-
pected to entail. One of the daugh-
tiers, aged 20, can write, sew, knit,
and is in every way as dexterous and
accomplished us other girls OF her
age and station. When asked If she
did not find it awkward to be finger
less" she replied:
mo! If you had never had fingers,
you would not know you needed them"
The only drawback that seems to be

Postal Teiegraphy.

A well known inventor and electric
ian Announces his firm conviction that
it is time TO get out of the telegraph its
full working value. and that it ought
now to be used for the carriage of the
mails, not i'm the physical sense. but
literally all the same. He believes
that 10000 or $4,000 letters Of about
fifty words each between Chicago and
New York could every day be profitab-
ly be sent over couple of copper
wires at rate of twelve to fifteen
cents apiece. Thousands of such let
tiers now pay twelve cents in the mail
to insure the saving of half an hour
after journey of twenty-four hours.
The plan is based necessarily on ma
chine telegraphy," which has been on
trial before and not gone very far.
