As London press Sees II

LONDON, Aug s29:5-The London paS
pers this morning have numerous special
dispatches from the far East, most of
Arthur. 1t is pointed out that the Japa-
nese tactics are very similar to those
adopted by Gen. Oyama in 1894, but that
granting that the Japanese have pene-
trated as far as represented which is
considered doubtful there are still for
midable forts to be Silenced before a gen
eral assault is possible.
Equal interest is displayed here in what
is regarded as the precariouS position of
Gen. Kuropatkin'S forces.

the Russian army is now completely at
the mercy of the japanese whenever they
choose to attack.
The Iiau-yang correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, in dispatch dated Aug.

there is continuous fighting. A great

One of the most, fanous women of
fashion, who is fTfsky Fat fifty as most
girls are at twenty, is trying to sup
press her wrath against a girl equally
prominent. The fause of the matron's
rage is an Invitation that the girl
treated. rudely. The girl was visiting
Newport, and, unwilling to leave the
giddy round of pleasure, she told the
matron how much she hated to 60"
The matron most ciyilly asked her to
visit her own villa for5a fortnight. The
impulsive maiden threw her arms
about the woman's neck, said it ''was
dear of you" and gushed until she was
whiried away in an automobile. But
when the girl wrote to her mother in
Long Island telling her who her fu-
ture hostess was sthe mother sent a
special delivery letter saying: Under
no circumstances go to that woman's
house. She is not our kind" There
were explanatory phrases which do not
look well in print. The foolish girl
told several close friends about her
mothers protesting letter, and all this
gossip was duly reported to the older

Boston girl and daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William A Burnham, have broken
their engagement by mutual consent.
Mr.. Gray and Miss Burnham knew
each other ten short days when the
friendship blossomed forth as true
love, and it was whispered that Gray
was going to marry in spirit of
pique. He had been one Of the devoted
admirers of Miss Cynthia Roche, but
after short period of favor he was
laid on the shelf by that belle. Miss
Burnham appeared in Newport, and,
being a new girl and good looking,
the son of Mrs. John Clinton Gray
paid devoted court to her. Then Mr..
Gray and his fancee disagreed on nine
subjects out of ten, and Gray did not
seem to think his engagement pre-
vented him from paying attention to
other girls. Two weeks ago Miss
Burnham went to Bar Harbor and the
cold water engagement was declared
at an end.
Tuxedo is beginning to throw off its
midsummer lethargy and the return

means an early season. Lenox and
Tuxedo are the great between season
colonies, and in September both are
at their best A few families stay in
Tuxedo all year round, but the sum-
mers are as hot as at the equator and
the winters are rather severe. It was
Pierre Lorillard's idea to make this an
all-year resort, but this is scarcely
possible. LenoX had had a CHEEKY
summer and the autumn there should
break all records. William c. Whit

house parties on the October mountain
estate were always accompanied by
much entertaining for the LeXonites.
One of the most admired young
women in LenoX is Miss Bessie Nc
Lean, whose clever mother, Mrs. Don
aid Mclean, is better known in club
dom than in the world of fashion. The
McLeans, mother and daughter, are at
ShadoWbrook Inn. Miss Mclean is
pretty and piduant and is rather of the
athletic type. In recent years the Nc
Leans have come to the fore through
Mrs. Clarence A. Postley and her
daughter. The PoStleys are intimate
with the McLeans, and as the former
family owns a house in Fifth avenue
and countless carriages and automo-
biles, this proved an aid to the Nc
Leans, who live in Lenox avenue.
What the McLeans lack in mansions
and equipages is made up by the
standing of the old family. Mrs. Nc
Lean is a Ritchie, of Virginia. One of
her cousins married Miss Maloney,
whose wedding in Spring Lake in
June was something magnificent.

Grafton. He is the elder son and heir
apparent of the Duke of Grafton, and
as the duke is more than eighty years
old, the prospective Lady Euston would

berry leaves. Lord Euston is wild
over, childless and middle-aged. He is
going to San Francisco. The future
duke is a lineal descendant Of Charles
II. and the Duchess of Cleveland, and
he might use the coat of arm of the
royal family provided he added a bar

the eastward will advance from the

due to the circumstance that an out

The treaty provides for the pay
ment TO England by Tibet OF $500, 600.
and stipulates that until payment has
been made England shall remain in
the country. This clearly is nothing
but a plan 10 make occupancy by the
English permanent There is no ap-
parent reason why the natives should
submit 10 this arrangement. and no
belief that anything but force could
impel them To do so
Tibet does not owe England $780,
600 or any other sum. The exaction
is wholly without basis in morals. It
stands in little better light than the
demand made by Raisuli when he
held Perdicaris captive. The osten-
sible purpose of the English was TO
cover the expense of their invasion.
Doubtless England is able to foot the
bills for its own military junkets,
and should do so.
