Japanese Talked Russian.

some story of the fighting on the re-
treat to Mukden:
"The Japanese continually tricked
our men during the fighting by shout
ing IN Russian, which scores of them
seem to know. During the confused
fighting which took place on our re-
treat we fired a volley into d brown
mass of men, to be met with the ap-
palling answer, Ne stretlaite, mui
Russkie.' Don't fire, we are Russ
slams. Our soldiers ceased firing,
and were Immediately met by a volley
which knocked a dozen men over.
Our men were furious enough to butch
er their own parents. They surround I.
ed the Japanese and slaughtered every
one OF them, giving no quarter. The
next night similar incident occurred.
But hearing the treacherous words
we are Russians, our men refused to
cease firing. Luckily, their shooting
was bad, for the 'Japs,' instead of
shooting back, groaned and swore in
Enthusiastically genuine Russian.
When we got over to them We found
that we had been firing on our own
men. A number were severely wound

STANDARD OIL STATEMENT,
Claims That the Corporation Is Interested
Only In Petroleum Business.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-C. T. Dodd.
of counsel for the Standard Oil COM
pany authorized yesterday the follow
ing statement:
''In view Of the many false and mis-.
leading statements from various
sources, the directors of the Standa ard
Oil company deem it advis BILE to state
to the company's shareholders and
the public that neither now nor at any
time has the Standard Oil company or
any of its constituent companies been
interested in any business not directly
related with and necessary to the
petroleum trade. It would be impos-
sible to designate in this denial the
different classes of business with
which irresponsible parties have
coupled the Standar Oil company's
name, but it may not be amiss to
specify copper, steel, banks and rail-
roads and gas other than natural
gas as being most prominently men.
toned. With none of these affairs
has the Standard Oil company been
at any time connected. Individually,
members of the Standa ard Oil company
have been and are interested in indus.
trials in various enterprises, but this
is entirely outside of the business of
the Standard Oil company, which is
Oil alone unaffected by other interests
in which its stockholders may invest.
''Neither is it true tn at the Stands ard
Oil company, John D. Rockefeller or
any other officer of the Stand ard Oil
company has taken part in securing
the nomination of any Of the candi-
dates for Office, as is frequently stated.
Furthermore, it is entirely untrue that
there is any standard Oil party
banded together for speculation in
stocks as commonly charged. The
name OF the Stand ard Oil company is
frequently used by designing persons
in the manipulation of the stock mar
ket but its use is unwarranted. The
Standard Oil company departs from
its usual custom in making this denial
for the reason that the statements be-
ing made at this time by newspapers,
magazines and sens ational papers ap-
pear to be unusually mendacious and
may to great extent mislead the
Dublic.'
