New York.-Mme Rejane. the noted
French actress, danced the cancan on
top Of a table at the Hyde 500. 600 ball
al Sherry's recently.
Statements differ as to how the epi.
sode came about, but all are agreed
upon one point, and that is that Rejane
did climb on top of the table and
dance a cancan which couldn't have
been beaten by any professional dan.
Ger at the Moulin Rouge. In fact she
danced It with 50 much abandon and
grace that she successfully effaced all
recollection Of Little Egypt, who
had until then had a record for this
sort OF speciality at Sherry's.
To say the dance Of Reiane created
a sensation is putting the facts quite
mildly. but as usually happens in i'm
promptu. spontaneous episodes OF this
kind. the cancan did not make nearly
as great a stir at the moment as il did
on the following day when the specta.
tors had time to thing It all over in
cold blood.
Reiane, the French actress. is not
greatly perturbed over the statemen,
that she danced the canoan on a table
at Hyde's costume ball In an inter
view she denied the dancing. but said
she can do the dance.

Battle Of Hun River Was > FIsrcsi,
Fought One.

FekHHk Rues
Last week Witnessed the close OF
what will probably be known as the
battle OF the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the japanese left wing.
oku's defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con
slant clashes between advanced bodies
Of troops that were attempting to sc.
cure strong positions. The japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re
suit has practically been a failure Of
kuropatkin to gain a single advantage
by his winter movement.
The lighting has been fierce and un.
der the worst conditions possible. A
low temperature and binding snow.
storms have subjected both sides 70
great suffering and such misery OF war
has probably not been endured since
some Of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds Of every sort have been agon.
izing and the impossibility Of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality
Despite the adverse conditions. the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus.
SLAMS have been driven 10 the right
bank Of the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained. the
moral effect Of this Knnopatkin fail
ure has been bad. II has shown that
the boasted Russian superiority in win.
ter campaigning is as much a myth
as many other things have been shown
10 be. and the news OF the failure
comes 70 European Russia at the most
inopportune time.

serious results Of the presence Of vast

that heavy ice was encountered

were impertled were Captain Jacobs
and his crew Of % men Of the Phila-

While drifting in this manner the'iee-

Ice jam prevented the tugs from dock

Atlanta. Ga.-Thc recent proposition
of j. Pope Brown, Chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, to re-
duce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the order OF
Hallway Conductors, and unions OF the
blacksmiths, mnchiniSts and telegraph
crs, boicrmakers, railway train men,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed an
attorney especially to represent them
who urged that such reduction would
work against the prosperity or the
state and lead to reduction in the
number of railroad employees as well
as of their wages. The Travellers FRO
tcctivc Association also protested that
reduction as proposed would result III
fewer trains and poorer service.
