Probably Partly TINE

St Petersburg, Oct. 2O.-(6:O7 p. ny
The japanese protest, through the
american state department charging
the Russian troops with using Chinese
clothing in violation Of the supple
mentary articles of The Hague conven-
ton, has not yet reached the foreign
office, and nothing is known of the al
legged circumstances either at the for
eign office or the war office, but the
latter explains that it is possible that
some OF the Russian scouts in the
mountains may have provided them
selves with Chinese overcoat5 as a pro-
lection against the colo, but the idea
there has been anything in the nature
or substitution such as to constitute
an infractiOn of The Hague convention
is pronounced absurd. In this connec-
ton attention is called to the repeated
reports Of Russian war correspondents
at the front encountering Japanese
scouting parties in the mountains dis
guised as Chinese.

and the Japanese quickly fell back,
having sustained severe losses. The
Russian casualties were three killed
and eleven wounded. The japanese
were pressed so hard that they were
obliged 20 abandon a gun bearing the
number 1858. but before abandoning the
gun the brcech block was removed. The
Timber contained 4S rounds of ammuni-

ENVELoPED IN FOG.
Hostile Armies Concealed From View
of Each Other.

MUkden, oct. 20, 100 p. m.-The hos
tile armies have today been concealed
from the view of each other by d
dense fog, in which it has been i'm
possible to make out objects at a dis
lance of 100 PAGES. Under such con-
ditions only unimpOrtant operations are
possible, such as surprises and am
bushes. Possibly were the roads in bet
ter condition the fog might favor
movements Of troops and cOncentrd-
tons at unexpected points but with
out question operations on a large
scale would be too dangerous. and so
everything has been quiet on the front
today. Neither cannonading nor mus
kerry firing has been audible.

Japanese Night Attack.

Through the rain, in the direction of

Honor Amcno Thieves.

"rhere is honor among thieves"
that oft quoted phrase was exempll-
iled in the character OF Belle Wilson,
the noted female plckpocket. who
died a miserable death few days
ago alone and forsaken by her for
mer friends.
Belle was known TO the oldest off,
GERS OF the police force. All knew
her to be larcenlst OF the most
clever type. yet they knew her az
well by her word OF honor as they did
by her bad record, when Belle
ever told you she would do ching.
said an old policeman the other day
''you could bet on II that she would
keep her word.
Several years ago Belle was sent
up for four years In San Quentin.
At that time the matron OF the prison
had been having great difficulty In
securing a reliable trusty among the
incarcerated females. l suggested
that she give Belle trial. said to
her that IL Belle promises you that
she viii do as you bid her, she will
do it,
so Belle Wilson was given the po-
sillon OF trusty. Not two days after
Belle vas introduced TO her new job
a big, husky negress attempted TO
cut the matron's throat. She had
her down on the floor Of a cell and
with upralsed hand was about to
plunge the knife into the matron's
neck when Belle came along at a
bound. with one swipe she knocked
the frenzied negress prone on the
floor and quickly relieved her OF her
weapon. The matron was deeply In
debted to her trusty and attempted
as best she could to thank her.
".Ah, forget IT, said Belle, didn't
| tell you that I'd be your trusty :
s'pose I'd let that thing murder you
'thout helping your
"The matron was taken back bS
the trusty's unconcerned air and re-
liaulshed hope OF thanking Belle with
words. When Belle died there were
many who had known her who re-
called her record as n plckpockei,
but there we're a few who said there

PATROL STILL TIED UP.
Government Tugs Future Not Appar-

Just what the treasury department
intends doing with the customs launch
Patrol is a question which the local
treasury officials are unable to answer.
Several weeks have passed since she
was ordered out OF commission pend
ing investigation into charges of In
competency preferred against her crew
During all Of that time she has been
laid up at the o. r. & n wharf, and
speculation Is rife as to what the de-
partment purposes doing with her.
Shortly after the charges were filed
Senator Fulton took up the case and
went after Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury Darling. The senator wanted
to know what the department had laid
up the tug for, and demanded that she
be continued in service at Astoria. 1t
developed during the course Of what
appeared to have been rather stormy
interview that the Puget sound knock
ers were trying to have the department
transfer the Patrol to the sound, and
the effort was in a fair way TO sue
ceed. But the senator would not stand
for It. After the interview 1t was an
nounced the tug would be repaired and
soon thereafter would resume service
at the mouth Of the Columbia.
But no order for her repair has yet
come from the department and the tug
lies in idleness inside the 0. r. & N.
dock. whether or not the department
is delaying matters in the hope that
the affair will be forgotten Is not
known, Of course, but the belief Is ex-
pressed that every effort will be made
to secure transfer of the Patrol to the
sound.
