LENA NOT ALONE.
Other Russian Ships Wandering enc
Pacific Ocean,

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Chron.
icle today says:
From a reliable source it has been
learned that the Lena was not alone
in her wanderings in the eastern Pa.
citic ocean, and 1t Is stated with au.
thority that somewhere east of a line
drawn from the Hawaiians to Una.
laska, in the Aleutian chain, at least
two OF the cruisers are roaming the
seas, and apt at any time, single or to.
gether, to seek the close haven found
by the Lena last Sunday.
Whether the Korea is one of these
two vessels known to be near the
coast or whether she is a third va.
grant cruiser, is not settled.
1t is generally believed in naval
circles, the cruisers referred to are
converted auxiHaries like the Lena,
but there is a possibility that they
are regular men-of-war, and alike the
Lena, were forced to escape from the
eastward. Their machinery being still
in good shape, they are keeping the
sea as long as possible, but will proba.
bly, not make port until their coal
runs out. 1t is pointed out that the
knowledge that these cruisers may be
encountered anywhere between San
Francisco and Honolulu, or along the
great circle route between Puget
sound and Japan, will have a marked
deterrent effect on those engaged in
shipping contraband from American OF
British Columbia ports.
At any rate the New York and the
Marblehead, which will remain here
Immediately, are on the qui vive, and
at any time to greet one or both OF
the newcomers with the promptness
that they greeted the Lena.

Extraordinary Fracas Between italians
and Chinese at Pekfn.
Pekin, Sept. 17.-An extraordinary
fracas between Italian and Chinese
soldiers occurred on Thursday after
noon, Sept. Is 1t appears that two
Chinese soldiers were out walking I'M
armed along the public road bordering
on the Italian drill ground adjoining
the Italian legation They stopped to
watch the Italians drilling. The Ital-
ians ordered them away and when
they refused to go a fight ensued.
The two Chinese were beaten. One
of them was then seized and taken
into the Italian legation, while the
other ran to the residence of General
Chang Kweite, who is commander-in-
chief of the Chinese troops stationed
here
A dozen Italians followed him and
fired two shots in the residence as one
Italian soldier entered. Chinese sol.
diers assembled prepared to light, but
one Of their officers prevented further
disturbance.
Representations have been made by
the Chinese authorities to the Italian
legation, but no answer has yet been
received.
Great indignation is felt and express.
ed on all sides at the unprovoked and
unwarranted attack IT is hoped,
however, that the incident will be ar.
ranged without any complications.

CHINA'S ATTITUDE.
Important Developments With Regard

important Developments With Regard
to the BelIigerents.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 17-Imp0rtant
Developments regarding China's atti,
tu3c towards the belIigerents is antic.
ipated here in weT-informed quarters.
There are rumors of closer relations
between China and Japan, of the pos.
sibility of the Japanese turning over
Port Arthur, when captured, to China,
of their restoring Manchuria to the
Chinese, etc. Although these reports
are not confirmed, they lead to quite
a general belief that some sort Of ne
gOtiatiOns are going on behind the
scenes, of which the outside world
has little cognizance.
The Russ says 1T believes. the Japa-
nese successes are emboldening the
and that they are prompting such d1.
plomatic steps as China never
dreamed Of before. Since the Japa-
nese occupation of New Chwang and
direct contact between the Chinese
and Japanese they have seemed to
quickly reach an understanding, the
occupation of neutral territory evok-
ing no protest.
The Russ expects the war to take on
a phase as Chinese neutrality van
ishes, which the powers in their agree
ment to preserve China's entuarilty
cannot ignore. Moreover, the Russ
believes the situation will call for
deeds and not words. 1t concludes:
1--WE need not be unduly alarmed,
however. The interference of China
will scarcely be to our disadvantage"
