Military Critics Busy.

London, October 19.-Engish newspa- pers and military critics find it difficult to apportion the exact stragetlc signih- canoe attaching to General Kuropatkin's s action on the Shakhe river It is sup posed that his success here was due to having kept three divisions of troops D reserve, and 1t is admitted that the att tack on Lone Tree Hill may have been an intentional counter stroke after draw ing out the Japanese from strong posi- tions
 The balance of opinion, however, fa- vors the idea that 1t was a desperate en- deavor to cover the retreat of his forces from the Bensihu district, and that the battle of Shakhe may be regarded as hav- ing ended in a victory, but not decisive one, for the Japanese, who were too ex- hausted to follow up their success.
 Several dispatches from St. Petersburg make mention of crushing defeat of two Japanese divisions. There is no con hrmation, however, in any reliable quar- ter for such report.
 According to the Standards correspond ent with General Kuroki, who telegraphs under date of October IS, a Russian bat talion which crossed the Taitse river has been almost annihilated. While retiring over a pontoon bridge, the correspond ent says, the battalion was overtaken by a regiment of Japanese cavalry which got its machine guns into position and swept the bridge end to end

Use Unlawful Costumes.

Tokio, October 19-(6 p. m.,-The Jap anese government today decided to draw the attention of the Russian government troops in using Chinese costumes. The notice will be served through the Amer ican state department which will trans init it through the American embassy at St. Petersburg.
 A memorandum issued by the foreign office says that on October 1 a body of infantry belonging to the Russian third regiment of sharpshooters wearing Chi nese costumes, attacked the Japanese forces on the Mukden road, and that Russians similarly clad approached the Japanses lines and attempted surprises Different reports received 1t is charged indicate that the Russians are purchasing enormous quantities of Chinese costumes
 The memorandum points out that com batants not properly uniformed are lia- ble to punishment as offenders against the laws of war, nd that participants fighting without uniform is a violation of international usage. an unlawful act, and contrary to the meaning of article 23 of the supplementary rules of the conven- tion governing the laws and customs of war on land.
 It is pointed out further that this ac- tion of Russian troops will prove a source of great calamity to innocent Chi nese who will thereby be exposed to danger. owing to their inability from distances to distinguish the Russian sol- diers from real N4linese.

WASHINGTON STIRS
 UP EXCITEMENT
REPUBLICAN BANNER ACROSS c STREET ARoUSES DEMOCRATS TO ACTION AND THE sTREAMER IS CUT DOWN.

Washington, October 19.-(Special.)-- The republican banner which was strung across G street from the Riggs house has worked up local democrats and repub- llcans almost to the fighting point.
 It is suspended from window just over the office room of Chairman Cowherd of the democratic congressional committee. Many democrats took this as an affront. After the banner had been raised and a republican orator was in the midst of a fervd eulogy of President Roosevelt something snapped and the whole thing fell to the ground. There were jeers from the democrats and cheers from Repub- cans.
 In the meantime some one in the dem- ocratic committee room deluged the crowd below with pamphlets denouncine Roosevelt. Democrats say they intend te counteract the interest in this banner by a placard running the entire length of the hotel bearing the inscription: Turn the Rascas Out"
 Today a parade of several thousand ne groes belonging to a civic organization passed the republican banner and th' bands stopped and played under it. The parade passed the White House. but the President did not appear

HARDW|CK SPEAKS ID PASSENGER MEN Distinguished Guests Present at
 Old Point RESPONSIBILITY Is GREAT MT. Hardwick of the Southern Cites Figures to Illustrate Responsl- biIity and Work of the Gen
 eral Passenger Agent.
RESPONSIBILITY IS GREAT

Hampton, Va, October 19.-General Fitzhugh Lee, Governor Montague and other distinguished virginians were guests of honor at a banquet given at Old Point by the passenger agents to- night. The principal address was de- livered by S. II. Hardwick passenger and traffic manager of the Southern railway MT. Hardwick spoke on ''The Evolution and Compositeness of the General Passen- ger Agent MT. Hardwick traced the varying functions and titles of the pas century
 To illustrate the responsibility and the work of the general passenger agent, MT. Hardwick cited advance information from the report of the interstate commerce commission for the past fiscal year. This showed revenue earned from passengers, mail, express and other sources accred- ited to passenger revenue, amounting to $511, ,5610O0. MT. Hardwick said:
 Now taking the valuation of the in- vestment in equipment as employed in passenger train service and freight train service, respectively including in this the value of engines and cars of all kinds whatsoever for both departments, we find that on such estimates c Is furnished me by one of the most expert railway ac- countants in this country on this basis of valuation of the total investment in equipment alone the relative percentages of returns are for passenger, gross %. 2S cents, and for freight S9.93 cents, showing a fraction greater in the passenger than from freight, and while the gross total of each earnings from passenger traffic are much smaller than from freight, so also is the amount invested in the equip ment for handling the total traffic very much smaller for passenger than for freight.
 May we not, therefore, with all mod esty, consider these results as something of an answer to the depreciatory allusions which we sometimes hear concerning the passenger department. which allu- sions we know are often made in a spirit of railery and good humor, but sometimes made through lack of information and un- derstanding?"

Davis Ends Ills Tour.

Wayne W. Va, October 19.-Henry c. Davis ended his whirlwind campaign through West Virginia at Wayne to- night. Just how he regards the expedi- ton may be gleaned from his reference to 1t in addressing the audiences at Wayne. He said:
 We are now concluding a trip of 1900 miles which has occupied ten days. We have crossed the state three times, and once north and south, visiting 7S cities and towns At night at the large places we have had two separate meetings.
 "The number of people In attendance at all the meetings is estimated at 100000. We have gone through 2S counties, being more than half the counties of the state, containing about three-fourth of it's pop ulation. We have been received every where with the most respectful attention and in most places with much enthu- siasm. Whenever We had opportunity to confer with local party leaders, we have heard of a number of republicans who have announced their intention to vote the democratic ticket.
 "i ..ere Is no dissatisfaction anywhere. so far as we have learned among the democrats, and all those who supported Mckinley are now in line again. We be- | lieve there will be less fraud at the bal l lot box than heretofore as the people 1 seem to be determined to have fair cleo
 tion. The general behsf among the party
 leaders is that the state will go democrat l ic"
 1 The candidate tonight will go to Kenova l where his car will be transferred to the
 Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Tomorrow l he will go to Parkersburg where he will l confer with state leaders, and attend the

AosdIities Cease Because of
 Heavy Rains
GERMANY WILL AID RUSSIA
Believed That Compact Has Been Arranged Whereby Germany Will Protect Polish Frontier-BaI-
 tic Fleet Will Divide.

There has been an end for the time be- ing of the fighting on large scale which began on October when General Kuro- patkin announced to his army that the time had arrived for an advance against the Japanese.
 Heavy rains and consequent bad roads have made military operations on either side extremely difficult, if not impossible. The interruption, according to advices received at St. Petersburg, is being util- ized by both Russian and Japanese com manders in making new dispositions of forces and new objective points are likely to develop when active operations are resumed.
 A Tokio dispatch states tha. the Japan csc government will seek to make repre- sentations to St. Petersburg through the American embassy against the alleged use of Chinese uniforms by Russian troops in violation of the usages of war. Russia is Eastening the organization of the second Manchurian army.

NEVER HAS BEEN RED
 HEADED PRESIDENT
Man Who Makes Bet That Jefferson Had Red Hair Loses
 the Wager.

Washington October 19.-tSpecial)- One of the unique political wagers of the campaign was decided in the red parlor of the White house few days ago. The bet was laid in the Union League club, New York city. during the recent dis cussion as to the prospects of red head ed'' man being chosen to the presidency.
 Several members were speculating on the chances of Parker, whose hair is described as red, and the statement that no red headed man had ever been elect ed president led to controversy as 10 the color of Thomas Jefferson's hair
 After posting $500 1t was agreed to leave the decision with a committee, which should base it's verdict on the famous oil portrait of Jefferson by Stuart, which hangs in the White house. The con- mittee decided that Jefferson's hair was mot red but sandy. Therefore the man who bet that no red headed man ever has been president of the United States" wins.
