"kacheI Goldstein."

Theodore Kremer's play, Rachael Goldstein," began a weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre last night with Miss Louise Beaton in the leading role. While the play Is melodrama, with the conven- tional villain, the conventional adven- turess and sweet young girl who has many tribulations, but Is happy when the curtain goes down, there are some novel features that distinguish 1t from former Kremer productions that have been seen at the Bijou.

Japs WIII Take offensIve.

St. Petersburg, November 28.-General Kuropatkin reports that there has been active sldrmishing on the left flank for three days. The opinion is now expressed by the general staff that the Japanese Intend taking the offensive. as they can not afford to wait until the Russians are further reinforced. It is held that the fighting to the eastward Is doubtless with the purpose of feeling out the Russian po- sitions preparatory to an advance in that direction, but as there are about 1000 Russian troops southwest of Sintsin- ton, where fighting occurred on November 26, and probably twice as many more in the mountains between Pentsiaputze and Sintsintsin, any Japanese move from this quarter would entail serious fighting.
 At the same time correspondents at the front continue to scout at the idea of serious fighting being imminent.

Is Considered UnImportant.

Mukden. November 2S.-There seems to be undue importance attached to the three days fight between the Japanese and Genlerai Rennenkampff's men. It was in reality ar unimportant advance guard affair in which the Japanese were re- pulsed with a loss of 300 men. This ad- vance of the Japanese against Da Pass need not be considered as big fianlking movement toward Tie Pass, which so many imagine is the route the Japanese intended to take. Both the Japanese armies are united near Mukden, and as heretofore, are simply awaiting develop ments.
