FIGHT ON THE RYDsHrrELNI.

 foo HaxbOR.

Correspondent Tells of Incident h Che
 foo Harbor.
 Chicago, Aug. ;la.--A special to The Chicago Daily News from Chefoo, dat ed August 12. says:
 After the Russian destroyer Rye shitelni arrived here yesterday 1t was boarded by an officer from the Chinese cruiser Hai-Chi, who stayed on deck until the vessel had been\ completely dismantled. The same evening the small arms and breech blocks of the guns were loaded into the Chinese launch and taken in charge by the Chf- anchored with its entire crew and ofi- cers aboard. near the harbor ship.
 Two Japanese torpedo boats which were observed scouting about the har- bor entrance during the afternoon ent- cred at 8 p. m. and anchored 500 yards from the Russian destroyer. An off, cial report from the master of the light ship to the commissioners of cus- toms filed this morning states that about midnight he observed a small boat lowered from one of the Japanese vessels, run alongside the Russian de- stroyer. One officer and five armed men were in the Japanese boat. They boarded the destroyer and began firing. Hand to hand fighting continued for about an hour.
 Some of the crew of the Russian de- stroyer jumped overheard; others were thrown over. The entire affair was witnessed by the master of the light ship. which was only 100 feet away. He had a boat lowered and rescued one officer and two men. It is thought that several of the crew were killed and that some were drowned. Captain Shestakovsky of the Russian destroyer was wounded. He is now aboard the Hai-Chi
 Toward morning the two Japanese torpedo boats approached the Russian destroyer. fastened a rope to her bow, raised the anchor and began to tow the vessel to harbor. Just then loud explosion took place in the forward part of the destroyer, resulting in lit . tie damage. One of the officers res- cued by the lightship states that the moment the Japanese begun towing the vessel the captain gave orders to the balance of the crew still aboard to ex- plode the magazine. The attempt, however. was a partial failure.
 When the Japanese torpedo boat lowed the Ryeshitelni out of the har- bor they were compelled to pass in full view of three Chinese cruisers.

IN STATE OF DELAWARE
REPUBLICAN FRACTIONAL FIGHT
 MORE BITTER THAN EVER.
Anti-Addicks Men Say That the Boss May Carry the State if He Can-They Will Not
 Aid.
Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building.

Washington, August 12.
 The outlook in Delaware from a Re- publican view point is giving the man agers of the party no little concern
 While the State has only three votes in the electoral college, the party man. agers realize that they have no votes to spare. and do not want to lose three. The indications arc, however. that the peculiar state of politics now existing there will result in the loss to the party of the Blue Hen State
 In dealing with political matters in Delaware, the president has been placed in a very embarrassing position and out of it the most ingenious of his party advisers have been unable to wriggle the administration.
 It will be recalled that at Chicago this year as well as at Philadelphia four years ago. the party. in national convention assembled, recognized J. Edward Addicks and the delegates be- hind him as representing the Republf- can organization of Delaware. The president. on the other hand, in the dis tribution of federal offices, has favored with singular persistence the anti-Ad- dicks men, thereby creating a state of affairs which lays him open to attack from both sides. the one faction be- cause of the decision of the national convention. and the other TOT ms per sonal attitude or resistance to the in- roads of Addickism in that State.
 The factional fight thus engendered has split the party In two and q bitter contest is now on. Colonel Dupont and other anti Addicks leaders. who re- sent the stigma placed upon them and their wing have decided to give Addicks and his faction all the rope they want Let Addicks carry the State" they say, with the suggestion more or less openly expressed that he will have to do 1t without their help. The Demo- crats are watching the outcome of the fight with interest.

BREACH OF NEUTRALITY.
Seizure of the Ryeshitelni May Hay
 Grave COnseauences.

Sefzure or the Ryeshite1nt May Have
 Grnve Consequences.
 Washington, Aug. l2.-The report of the capture by the Japanese tor pedo boat destroyers of the Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni in the harbor of Chefoo as conveyed to Washington by consul generals cablegram today was received with the deepest interest and also concern. for it was realized that there was in this incident the germs of serious international trouble. MT. Fowler spoke of the affair as "cut- ting out" expedition. thereby differing in an important point from the press dispatches which at first reading ap- peared to indicate that the seizure of the Russian boat was in at least some degree caused by the action of the captain of the craft In attacking the boarding lieutenant. It may be that upon this point will turn the decision as to whether or not there has been a violation of Chinese neutrality by the Japanes-.
 If the expedition was a genuine cut ting out one, then there is no question in the minds of the officials here that the Japanese have committed an offense against international law by violating Chinese neutrality and in addition have broken the agreement they entered into by the beginning of the war at the in- stance of the United States government to limit the field of warlike operations to Manchuria and Korea and their wa- ters. Should this prove to be the case, the results probably will be grave and vexatlous. Under the tenets of inter- national law the captured vessel must be returned for the offense against Chinese neutrality. But if Russian lives have been lost as reported in the press dispatches, greater complica- tion will follow. for Russia may in turn hold China responsible for the punishment of the Japanese who caused the death of her sailors when under the shelter of Chinese port au- thOritieS.
 Altogether the situation is full of danger and the main apprehension of the officials here is that 1t may be the incident that will break down the agreements of the powers and plunge China into the war as a full-fedged belligerent and ally of Japan. The consequences of such an act Is on China's part upon existing alliances be- tween Japan and Great Britain and be- | tween Russia and France can only be conjectured and the prospect is so alarming that 1t is not doubted, the State Department will do its utmost along with the rest of the powers to effect such settlement of this incident as shall preserve the agreement as to China in full force.
