After a few hours the Japanese left flank from Taping Mountain captured the village of Tanghuditueno, compelling the Russians to retreat to Tienghuaituen, six miles from their base. The Russians, now reinforeed, maintained the position until 5 o’clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese right flink made a sudden appearance on the hills south of Tatchekiao and by a tremendous fire forced the Russians to retreat. The Japanese firing line extended fifteen miles. After two more hours of an incessant storm of shot and shell, they swept the last hill and the plam clear of Russians.” l Prss A G‘; A BRIILSL TIBANSHIP HMrxzrcca~ DIPLONAT S NN CHAMED BY A-CROWD i | ‘Young Hunter Again - Journeys on the .

There is no argument over the right of | Russia to seize neutral vessels carrying | actual contraband of war, but the wis- dom of destroying neutral prizes with- out trial, unless the object is to involve other powers, is generally questioned. It is believed that America will refuse to recognize Russia’s extended list of centraband and will speedily demand a limitation to articles reasonably contra- ! band in order to protect her large Ori- | ental commercial interests. It is ex- | pected that Great Britain will protest against the sinking of the Knight Com- mander and demand trial for seized British steamships, and that Germany will make a second and more vigorous protest. | The Vladivostok warships are hover- ing about the course of the steamships from San Francisco, probably with the hope of overhauling the liner Korea. ‘Warning, however, has been given to the Korea and she has a chance of eluding the Russiags.There probably to commerce. will be other seizures, and whatever be the determination of the legal ques- tions involved or whatever diplomatic action may be taken, it is confidently believed here that the seizures will cre- ate a feeling of intense irritation and unfriendliness against Russia in Amer- ica, England and rmany. Japan is anxious to localize the tom- bat and avoid involving other powers, but views with unfriendliness the acts of aggression against friendly neutrals and treaty violations disadvantageous to herself. In the latter connection Ja- pan regards the affair of the passage of the volunteer fleet through the Dar- danelles as of more importance than the acts of the vessels subsequent to such passage.

Mrs. Reynolds is 70 years old, while Senator Davis is past 0. There is an interesting story back of | the approaching wedding. Many years |ago, when Henry G. Davis was a | brakeman on the Baltimore and Ohio | Railroad, he became a suitor for the Jhand of Miss Katherine Cushwa, whose family was one of the most prominent in Washington County, Maryland. Miss Cushwa was a pronounced*beauty and was the acknowledged belle in the sec tion in which she Hved.

She and young Davis met for the first | time at a dance at a country house, and | frequently thereafter he became her escort. | The friendship thus begun speedily ripened into love. Davis proposed and the young woman was willing, but her parents could not resign themselves to the idea of their beautiful and accom- | plished daughter marrying a poor rail- | road brakeman, and the young man {was sent on his way with a broken ; heart. Young Davis disappeared, to rise rap- idly in the raiiroad service until he be- came the richest and most powerful cit- izen In his State, while Miss Cushwa | became the bride of Dr. John Reynolds, a prominent physician of Shepherds- town. Her former lover also in the | course of time took unto himself a life | partner in a distant part of the State. It was not until many years after- “ard that the two came together again, | one as a widower and the other as a widow. The old spark rekindled into a flame, with the result that there will be the notable wedding at the quaint old town of Shepherdstown some time during the month of October, so the | gossips s Mrs. Reynolds is remarkably well | preserved, and for a half-century or more has been the social leader of Shep- herdstown. She is the mother of two grown children and the grandmother of a half-dozen interesting boys and girls. She lives in a beautiful, old-fash- joned house within a stone’s throw of | the stately Potomac, and many distin. guished men and women have enjoyed her hospitality. ——————— EDITH DEVEREUX CLAPP TO WED A FRENCH COUNT New York Heiress Betrothed to & Scion of the House of De Rougemont.
