Given America for Its Note to the Chi-
 nesc Government.
 Washington. Jan. 17.--Russia today. through Count Cassini. expressed her thanks to the AmerNan government for its prompt action In calling to China's attention the charges that her neutrality was being violated.
 The Russian Ambassador received today note from Secretary Hay ac- knowledging the communication of Count Lamsdorff and informing the Ambassador that the American gov- ernment had promptly called China's attention to the charges and expressed the fervent hope that China's neutral ity as well as her administrative entity would be faithfully preserved The Secretary further said the Chinese minister had informed him that his government was equally desirous of utmost to prevent violations of her neutrality by either belligerent.
 Secretary Hay had another confer ence with Sir Chentung Liangcheng. the Chinese Minister today, the latter calling at the State Department soon after Count Cassini's departure. The Minister reported that he had received a telegram from his government ask ing for the charges in detail. Count CasSini saiu toniBnS that ftussid note to the powers was prompted by the fact that she had absolute proof that Chinese neutrality was being fre- quently violated and that unless Chins mended her ways andl maintained with the assistance of the other neutrals as we'll as Russia, an attitude of strict neutrality. the imperial government would be forced to look first to Rus sia's interest
 Tt is a reflection on a sane man's intelligence" the Ambassador added. ito go into explanations as to why Russia wishes China's neutrality main tained. It is self-evident and her en- ergetic communication to the powers Is but another evidence of the faithful effort she is making in this direction-'

 THE FORTRESS Alexieff is Called Coward

 Their Men.
GENERAL SToEssEL TALKS

London, Jan. 1.-The correspondent at Nagasaki of The Express has had an interesting interview with General Stoessei in the course of which the general said:
 The capitulation occurring on new years day was merely coincidence The loss of POS Metre Hill anu the sub seQuent capture of forts combined with the deadly marksmansnip with the ter- rible 1i-inch shells. the depressing ef- feet Of the death of General kondra' tenko and the rage of scurvy really fixed the time of exploitation It Is quite untrue that dissented from the unanimous decision of the tinal council of war. Our final urgent requests for relief were never answered.
 As regards parole, distinctly dis couraged any concerted action. Every officer decided for himself Generally, commanding officers stuck with their men and chose Imprisonment. Most of the naval officers also chose capti- vity, many probably, being influenced by the fear of impeding court martials
 The correspondent adds that conver- sation with other Russian officers re- veals great bitterness against and de- noslnciations of Admiral .Alexieff for his failure to properly fortify Port Arthur and his cowardly flight" by the last train from the fortress.
 The juniors denounce the incapacity and folly of the government in entering upon the war and declare that all men who return to Russia from Port Ar thur are revoiutionists in spirit. These opinions were openly expressed in the presence of General stoessei, who re- marked: Let them talk; they have earned the right to think as they please by braving untold deaths for our coun- try"

Sweeping Denial.
ICE GORGE GIVES AWAY.
One Barge sunk, While Other Vessels
 Were Threatened.

Louisville, Ky. Jan. 1.-The break ing of an immense ice gorge which had formed above the city threatened for a time to destroy a number of steam hoats. coal barges and house boats In the river in this city. Fortunately the river was at a stage which allowed the dams at the head of the falls to check the gorge and the only loss consisted of the sinking of one coal barge owned by the Atlas Coal Company, and con taininR O,OOO bushels of coal and some slight damage to the steamer Morning Star. the wharfboat of the Louisville and Evansville mail line and other wharfboats and smaller craft swept from their moorings but still afloat
 The gorge had formed at Pumpkin Patch. Louisvilles chief coal harbor containing at the time about 2,000, ,000 bushels of coal. No barges were lost at the Pumpkin Patch when the gorge went out. The gorge followed the current and damned in the Louisville harbor, filling 1t and the mouth of the canal, the ice in some places piling up twelve feet high. Tonight the gorge still fills the harbor. being held by the dams at the head of the falls Three steam boats, four wharfboats, number of coal floats and about fifteen barges of coal are caught in the pack.
 The chief danger lies in the possibili- ty of a rise sufficient to lift the gorge clear of the dams, in which case all the property mentioned would be lost. The present weather conditions indicate that the harbor may stay damned for several days. A gradual thawing and sinking of the ice is the chief hope of the river men for the salvation of much valuable property,

 St. Petersburg. Jan. 1.-The gov ernment of the United States has not lodged a protest with Russia against General Mistchenko's operations west of the Liao River. as is currently re- ported.
 The Foreign Office points out that the sphere of hostilities as specifically defined by Russia at the opening of the war, extended from the line Of the Mongolian frontier to the point where if intersected the Liu Rivre. tribu- tary Of the Liao River, along the Liao River and along the Liu Rivef to tiic point where ik crossed sSh6 xEnkow- shanhaiiewan railroad. thence along the railroad to the LIao River, thence to the left bank and to the mouth on- ly of the latter. A small section of the right bank Is beyond the sphere and therefore there is no question of General Mistchenko having entered neutral territory. Both the Russian and Chinese stations at NewchwanE are within the sphere.

A QUESTION OF FINGERS.
Priests of old Faith Prevented from
 Performing Rites on Battlefield.


 St. Petersburg, Jan, 11.-Consider- able feeling has been aroused by the report from Manchuria that several priests of the old Russian faith who had voluntarily accompanied the troops to the field, in order to minister to soldiers of their creed. have been pre- vented by the military authorities from rendering the last offices to the wound- ed and dying and driven of the battle field.
 The dying soldiers refused the min istratlons of the regular clergy. say ing they wished to die in their own faith.
 The report has evoked the comment that the soldiers who are giving their lives for their country ought not to be persecuted and deprived of the com forts of their religion because they used two fingers in crossing them selves instead of three.
