st. Petersburg, Oct. 7.-While the
admiralty claims to have no knowl-
edge of the departure of the Port
Arthur squadron, it is inferable
from the way in which the report
that such an event had transpired
has been received, that definite con.
frmation would not create surprise.
The Associated Press is informed
that no direct orders have been sent
to Admiral Wirennius to break
through the blockading fleet, but it is
tacitly admitted that the admiral
has discretionary powers to leave
Port Arthur should the situation de-
mand or conditions be propitious. In
naval circles it is pointed out that
Wednesday morning the conditions
might have been favorable for
sortie. Heavy storms ragged Tuesday

torpedo boats to seek shelter, thus

however, are inclined to think the
firing that was heard at Che Foo may
only have been directed at blockade
runners.

Many actors are really indifferent to
social success although there will be enough

'The young actor knew nothing about
the social proprieties. of course, and
thought that anything his socially dis
tinguished hostess did was all right. So
he trots over to the table and invites the
other actor to visit at the house OF a woman
he has never met.
THE woman stares at him while the
invitation is delivered. Now, the older
man happened TO know more about social
conventions than the other. and regretted
on the ground that he had another engage

an introduction to Mrs y. since she had

social favorites make their strongest i'm
