LEFT HER WHEN WEALTHY.
Wife Wants Husband She Worked for
to Support Her.

New York. Aug. 16-Justice White
of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, has
granted an order directing the
sheriff to arrest Joseph H. Lewis,
a printer and manufacturer of sample
cards, at No. 16S Elm street, Manhattan,
in an action which Mrs. Lewis has
brought against him for separation on
the ground of abandon nent.
Mrs. Lewis says she WAS married to
the defendant in April, 1793. and that
they have three children. II is alleged
by her that until her husband succeeded
in establishing his business on profit
able basis she toiled day and night
for him, and that it was not until about
a year ago that his feelings toward her
seemed to change. Five months ago he
ceased coming home at night. He told
her he would not live with her, but
would allow her so week. Then she
learned, she alleged, that he was MAIN
tanning apartments in Manhattan for
another woman.
The court fixed the bail to be given by
the defendant when taken into custody

PALLAOA SUNK.
Such Seems to Be the Belief Of Jap.
anese.

Toxic. Aug. 1e.-Noon.-It seems GER
tain that the Russian protected cruiser
Pallada was torpedOed and sunk dur
ing the naval battle of Aug. 10. She
failed to return to Port Arthur and has
not been reported since Admiral Togos
fleet departed on various missions on
the night of Aug. 10, when the Russians
retreated.
Belated reports from various vessels
continue to reach Admiral Togo. The
Japanese destroyers and torpedo boats
made a series of attacks during the
pursuit of the Russian warships. One
destroyer reports that she hit ves-
sci of the Pallada type and it is thought
the vessel foundered and it is believed
to be probable that the entire crew
were either killed or drowned.
Admiral Togo, in reporting to the adj
miralty, says it appears certain that
the Pallada was sunk. 1t was thought
at first that she had escaped south
ward with the NOvik and AskOld and
the admiralty believed she was con-
cealed in the vicinity of the Yangtse
river. Whatever her fate it will soor
be determined. If she is afloat she will
speedily be reported and If destroyed
it is probable that some Of her wreck
age will be found.

and a delightful ride was enjoyed.
Several times during the trip the steam
ers were stopped and the people listened

money in appreciation of their pains
taking efforts to make the day an en-
joyable one.

MAKES HER PROTEST.
Powers Notified Of Jap Action by
Russia.

London Aug. 16.-RuSSian AmbaSSa-
dor Benckendorff. carrying out the in
structions of Foreign Minister Lams-
dorf, presented. Tuesday morning, to
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne an Off
cial protest from his government
against the fragrant violation of In
ternationaI law and neutrality" by the
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers at
Che Foo. The protest is in the nature
of a circular to all the powers and re-
cites the facts as already published.
The st. Petersburg government as
serts that the Japanese had no right
even to examine the Ryeshitelni to de-
termine whether she was dismantled
without first obtaining the permission
Of the Chinese admiral.
So far as can be learned Lord Lans-
downe will merely acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the protest reserving possible
action on the part Of Great Britain I'M
Ill all the facts are ascertained. There
il reason to believe that the inquiry
commenced by the British authorities
after the capture Of the Ryeshitelni has
been extended so as to take in the ma
ture question of how the belligerents
have observed the neutrality of China.
Thus. for instance. the facts are being
obtained in connection with the estab-
lishment by the Russian consul of Il
wireless telegraph plant at Che Foo.
with which he allegedly communicates
with Port Arthur.
In respect to the Ryeshitelni the
British officials say that much may be
said in support of the Japanese con-
tention. If. as the japanese claim. she
brought dispatches from Port Arthur,
she clearly. in the British view violat-
ed the neutrality Of China and there
by gave an excuse for the Japanese ac-
ton.
Inquiries have been made by the
British government regarding the atti-
tuGe Of the United States in connection
with Chinese neutrality and the Amer
lean gSVernment will likewise obtain
information regarding the policy Great
Britain intends to Pessue. AS both pow

kuropatkin will be fifty-six next
month. He is an inspiring figure
trusted because he has never been
afraid. Five years ago Kuropatkin was
warned that the great powder maya
zine at ST. Petersburg was to be blown
up within twenty-four hours and the
magazine at Toulon, too. Toulon was
outside his sphere, but Kuropatkin,
who received the warning while in bed,
rose and went at once to the st. Peters,
burg magazine stores. Calling togeth-
er officers and men, he inspected the
stores, declared the inspection satisfac-
tory and gave every man three days
leave of absence as a token of his
pleasure. Other guards and sappers
were summoned, a rampant was dug
around the magazine and before night
it was certain that any danger that
had existed had been averted. Moth
ing happened, but the next morning
the powder magazine in Toulon was
blown up.
