PRINCE AASSAN
COMES TO TOWN
Nephew of the Sultan of
Turkey Arrives on His
Way to the Far Orient
AT OUTS WITH UNCLE
Political Views of Visitor
Are Not Pleasing to
His Imperial Relative

Prince Aziz Hassan, nephew OF the
Sultan Of Turkey and a cousin by mar
riage to he Khedive Of Egypt, arrived
here yesterday and is registered at the
Palace. The visitor has been making a
tour Of the country. which included a
visit TO Washington, where he was ac-
corded the courtesies due his rank.
From there he went to the st. Louis
exposition and continued his journey to
this city by way Of the Yellowstone
Park he Will sail on the next steamer
for the Orient.
The Prince, who is accompanied by
his servant, is reputed TO be a multi
millionaire, VINO lives in a magnificent
palace in Cairo, in the court of KhediVe
Abbas, whittier he was practically
eXiled by his uncle, Sultan Abdul
Hamid Of COnstantinople. 1t is said
that the nephew's political views,
which he was wont TO express too
openly, were resented by the Sultan
who regarded them as a shade too
liberal for the despotic conditions Of
the Turkish realm.
Frequent Quarrels between the young
man and his imperial relative finally
resulted in his leaving the Turkish
capital with a vow that he would
never return. That was ten years ago
and 1t is said that the Prince has not
since trod on the shores OF Bosphorus.
Prince Hassan has very strong views
on the outcome Of the present Russo
Japanese war, which he predicts will
end In a victory for the Russians, al
though he says the empire of Nicholas
has only one friend on the eastern
continent and that is Greece, the sub
5ects Of which recognize in the Rus
sian Car the head Of the Greek
church throughout the world.
Prince Hassan is also of the opinion
that missionaries from this country
are wasting their time in trying to con-
vert the followers Of Mahomet, for he
argues that the people born in the
Mohammedan faith will never abandon
that faith except under extraordinary
circumstances.

BnUNDER, SAYS CAss1NI.
Russian ambassador Deplores Ad-
miraI RoiestyenskY's Mistake.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Press re-
ports of the sinking of English fish,
ing boats created a profound sensa-
ton wherever they became known to-
night Officials promptly set 1t down
as an unhappy mistake, which added
dangerous complication to the war.
Russia has feared submarine at
tacks upon the Baltic fleet and Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, says
the sinking of the English trawlers
may have been the result of the ex-
IRENE precautions taken by Admiral
Rojestvensky for the protection of his
ships. Count Cassini said:
Russia has had good reason to ex-
pect her enemies would attempt to at
tack the Baltic fleet on its way to the
Far East. possibly with submarines,
possibly in other ways. AS result ex-
IRENE precautions have been taken. 1t
was necessary that every safeguard be
thrown about the cruise of this squad
ron. 1 should think that If the re-
ports are true this affair Is simply a
deplorable mistake. 1t Is, of course,
manifest that our great battieship
squadron would have no object in dis
turbing fishing smacks."

southwark advance be successful.
Another big battle is expected shortly,
as the weather Is already turning cold.
1t will be impracticable for the two
armies to winter in their present posi-
lions, midway between Mukden and
Liaoyang.
The Japanese prisoners are treated
by the Russians with the greatest
kindness. At one hospital visited by
the correspondent Japanese privates
were found in the officers ward.
Rumors are af1oat that one Of the
Russian western corps has gone around
the Japanese left and Is now abreast Of
Liaoyang. but the statement lacks con-
f1rmation.
The Russians bombarded the village
of Shakhe on October 20 and 81, but
fired only about sixty rounds. After
the evacuation Of Shakhe village by the
japanese they were compelled to aban-
don the station to avoid flank attack
from the village.

MUKDEN, Oct. 23.-While no pitched
battle has occurred the last few days,
the two armies are kept in touch with
one another, holding the positions they
occupied when the big battle ended.
There is no evidence that the Russian
army will rush northward. as was the
case after the battle Of Liaoyang. In
fact, the Russians have another line
of defenses to fall back upon in 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 and
daily clashes between outposts and
scouts.
Unless the Japanese take the initi-
alive soon the Russians, it Is expected
will resume the offensive and endeavor
to drive the Japanese back, for the
purpose of insuring the safety Of their
winter quarters, which undoubtedly
will be north of Mukden, unless a

JAPANESE ARE ACTIVE.
Preparing to Stubbornly Resist the
Advance Of Kuropatlzin.

MUKDEN, Oct. 23.-The Russian
siege guns are beginning to come into
action. There was considerable artil-
Iery firing from October 10 to October
e.
The Japanese have evacuated Shak-
he, but it would be premature to regard
this as the beginning of a general re-
treat. 1t appears rather to be a stra-
tegic move, so as to reinforce and re-
align their greatly broken front.
Scouts confirm the news brought into
the Russian lines by Chinese of a Jap
anese movement to the eastward, In
dicating that they have some fresh
developments maturing there.
1t is entirely too soon to credit ru-
mors circulated here and probably tele-
graphed to St Petersburg that the
japanese have abandoned Yentai and
retired to Liaoyang. On the contrary,
they apparently are preparing for a
stubborn resistance.
The Japanese on October 10 under
took a reconnaissance south of Lin
shinpu, but the Russians drove back
their advance guard and silenced their
battery with loss Of four killed and
eight wounded.
The Japanese occupied the village of
Shakhe the night of October 20 and
drove out Russian volunteers in the
surprise of an attack in the darkness.
The Riazan regiment then came UP and
drove out the Japanese in turn. The
night of October 20 the Thirty-fifth
Eastern Siberian Rife Regiment, TAX
ing advantage of the fog, advanced
and Lieutenant Zavyaloff, with a small
detachment. crept up to the japanese
lines and carried off a gun and caisson.

John MORLEY
IN NEW YORK
British Statesman Arrives,
Accompanied by Carnegie,
Whose Guest He Will Be
FIRST VISIT IN YEARS
Steel Magnate Does Not Look
With Favor on ROOseyelt's
Proposed Peace Congress

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-John Morley,
the English statesman, arrived to-day
on the steamship Celtic. During his
stay in this city Morley will be Andrew
Carnegies guest.
When Carnegie, who also arrived on
the Celtic with his wife and daughter,
was informed that money was needed
to maintain the Peace Palace at The
Hague, he said:
Il have nothing to do with that"
On the question Of calling a peace
conference, he said: Let US not call
a peace conference now when two ma
tions are struggling in awful battle.
Such an action by President Roosevelt
would be a great error and would not
be looked upon with favor in Europe. u
Turning TO Morley, he asked:
Don't you agree with me, Mr.. Nor
ley, that Roosevelt has taken a strong
hold on the Imagination Of the English
people?"
Yes" was the reply.
Morley last visited this country
thirty-flve years ago. He said to-day:
England is of course interested In
your political situation and naturally,
I, as every Liberal, have a great ad-
miration for American institutions
All over England and the provinces
there is a growing good feeling toward
America Every Briton admires
America and her institutions"
Morley will remain in America until
at least the last OF November.

LONG SEARCH
PROVES FUTILE
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

VIROQUA, Wis, Oct 2S.-The sad
story of Mrs. Annie Douglas, formerly
Miss Annie Steurnagel, of this city,
and of the mothers vain search after
travelling for 10000 miles in the hope
Of finding her daughter, has just be-
ccme known generally. Mrs. Douglas
disappeared from San Francisco when
abandoned by her husband and moth
ing has been heard from her since
Annie Steurnagel, by her own eff
forts, became physician and went to
Butte to reside. The famous camp
was then at its best. She later went
to GrangeviIle, where her success was
still better. She met Douglas, a con-
tractor, who persuaded her to break
her pledge never to wed. Mrs. Doug
las converted all her own property
into cash and turned 1t over to pro-
vide for her mother. Then the couple
went to Seattle.
Douglas decided to study medicine
and the couple went TO San Francisco.
There they lived four years, while
Douglas went through school, his wife
practicing her profession meanwhile.
After his graduation he began to prac-
tice there, but one day told his wife
that he would try Chicago and went
East.
He was not heard of again.. Then
the aged mother lost track of her
daughter. She has travelled back and
forth across the country, seeking for
trace of the girl. but has never learned
anything definite. She Is now in some
lonely part of the West, seeking her
daughter in some Of the mining camps.

EIGHTEEN WOUNDED MEN.

HULL, Oct. 23.-From interviews
with the members Of trawler crews it
appears that the admiral Of the fish
ing feet burned green flares to show
that they were harmless fishermen, but
these signals were ignored. Eighteen
wounded men are here for treatment.
There is a rumor that the Great

by the Russians. This report has not
yet been confirmed.

fortunately the damage was above her water line
and none of the crew was hit
The bombardment lasted about twenty minutes
When it had ceas ed the feet sailed southwark and
some Of the trawlers sent up rockets. The Moul-
mein steered in the direction of the rockets. Soon
cries were heard and the Crane was found sink

her crew. Those seriously wounded were removed
to Mission ship and the bodies of Smith and
Loggott were placed aboard the Mournein. The
other men with minor injuries were put aboard the
trawler Seagull.
Crowds gathered around the dock here, but no
further information is available. Representatives
of the fishing fleet started late tonight for London
to consult with the authorities there. No motive
can be assigned for the extraordinary procedure of
the Russian warships.

The last news of the fleet was a
