IN TOUGH.
Firing and Clashes Between Outposts
Are Frequent.

Mukden. Oct. 25.-While no pitched
battle has occurred during thr last lew
days the two armies are III the closest
touch with one another, holding TN =
positions they occupied when the DIG
battle ended. There is no evidence that
the Russian army will rush north. az
was the case after the battle at Lao
Yang. In fact, the Russians have an
other line of defense to fall back on ~
the event that they are forced out of
their present positions.
During the last few days there has
been frequent artillery fire, occasional
infantry attacks ana daily clashes be
tween outposts and scouts.
Gen. E,uropatlzin is with the centre
of his army.
The time for resuming the Russian
advance has not yet come. Simuitan"-
ously they held the village Of Shakh"
until the japanese hurritdly evacuated
this important position the night OF
October 20. and Russians and Japan"s
remain in joint possession of l.inshinpu,
east of the railroad the Japanese OBJ
stinataly defending the fortified temple
there.
The Russians have driven trench to
the village wall. The weather is grow
ing colder, and some nights there are
10 degrees of frost. Great hardshipS are
suffered by the troops in the trenches.
and even in huts. which afford very
slight shelter from the lnclement
weather. The troops are beginning to
receive .heir winter clotEing
Rumors are afl0at that one of tn"

the Japanese left and is now abreast
Of Lao Yang, but tho statement lacks
confirmation.
The Russian bomharded the villag"
of Shalihe on Oct 20 and u. but fired
only about 60 rounds. After the evacua
tion of Shakhe village by the japanese
the latter was compelled to abandon
the station to avoid a flank attack from
the village.
Details have just been received of re-
commissioners in force on TUmn Pass.
Columns, consisting Of two rifle regi
pents and two battali0nS advanced
oct. Is. and in the evening occupied Il
position westward of the pass Early
the next day the columns moved for
ward and with artillery. opened on the
Japanese advance positions, which were
weakly held.
The japanese main strength was dis
posed behind the crests of hills. A Jap
anese mountain battery came out. bur
WAS quickly silenced. Russian gunners
then shelled the heights occupied by
the japanese and infantry attacked un-
der cover of this fire. and cleared on.
the Japanese from their advanced posi-
tions whence they took refuge on the
heights. The Russian column withdrew
during the night, having achieved its
purpose in ascertainins5 the japanese
strength at this point.

sUPERSEDE MEN COOKS.
Families Of Wealth and Fashion Re-
place Chef de Cuisine with
Product Of Schools.

In private families Of wealth and
fashion there is tendency to replace
the French chef de cuisine with the
woman cook, says the Philadelphia
Record, and the change, which started
among some of the most prominent
summer residents Of Newport, seems
likely. to extend. It is not the result,
however, of any fad, nor has 1t been pre-
concerted or widely discussed There
are, of course, fashions in cooking as
In everything else, but the increasing
frequency Of the woman In the kitchen
10 due, according to an authority, sim
ply to the fact that cooking schools, de-
spite all the ridicule that is heaped
upon them, are bearing fruit. Young
women who see their future in domestic
service are more ana more availing
themselves of the opportunity of &C
Quiring.th science Of this work. with
this knowledge and the training that
goes with 1t they command better pay;
but this is not yet. and probably never
will be, equal to that OF the man chef.
Wealthy employers who. for all sorts
Of reasons, from elumps in stocks to
the great cost Of maintaining automo-
bile stables, feel the need Of economy,
are beginning to nnd out that about the
only difference between the chef and the
scientific woman cook Is the price Of
their services. II more women. says the
authority quoted, had the executive
ability needed In great kitchen, the
change would be more rapid.
