London, Oct. 24.—The Russian embassy Issues a statement to the effect that Admiral Rodzestwensky undoubtedly was not responsible for the order to fire, as he had gone ahead with the first section of the fleet. The embassy claims that the fleet probably mistook the rockets for a hostile signal and did not see the lights of the fishing fleet. The statement concludes by saying that "we are compelled to await news from St. Petersburg before we can explain tba matter fully." pied by them "When we realized that the Russians were firing shot and that men were being wounded nil became terror and confusion. Nets were cut away, steam gotten up, and the trawlers hurried away as fast as possible." Captain Peaker confirms the details of the fate of the trawler Crane and her crew.

When, however, cumulative evidence no longer left doubt of the general accuracy of the reports astonishment became bewilderment as to what possible motive could have led Russian officers into such an extraordinary and inexplicable course of action, which, unless a satisfactory explanation is immediately forthcoming, could only be regarded as an act of war. This is the view taken editorially by all the morning papers. The worst feature of the story, as viewed here, is the lieartlessness displayed by the Russian fleet in steaming away without tailing the trouble to ascertain even whether their fife had Inflicted any dnmnge and without any effort to rescue tlie victims.

Honest Weight. Honest Goods, is our Motto. Our Word While admitting the necessity of a suspension of judgment for investigation and explanation, the morniiiK newspapers are unanimous in demanding that tlie government instruct Ambassador Hardingo to make the strongest representations to the St. Petersburg government and obtalft reparation and apology and assurances of the Russian Pacific fleet's good behavior for the future". It is held that the omission of the Russian fleet to stay its course down the channel to offer any explanation makes the case look exceedingly grave.

He will return to London this afternoon. The Russian ambassador is in Germany, but has started for London. It 's believed that Great Britain's demands in the matter will not be formulated before tonight. Many incidents are coining to light showing the bravery of the Russian soldiers during their stubborn resistance to the Japanese advance and in their attempts to drive the Japanese back. The men fought night and day without rest and atlerward worked for hours carrying the wounded to the hospitals. When the Russian troops recaptured Lone Tree hill they retook several guns and a quantity of ammunition which the Japanese had previously captured. They also took several Japanese guns in addition.

The latest reports of the affaif show that four Russian vessels were concerned and these together fired 300 shots at the British fishing vessel at a range of about a quarter of a mile. The mayor of Hifll has telegraphed Premier Balfour that the greatest' indignation prevails as a result of the unprecedented and Wanton attack on the Hull fishing fleet, resulting in the loss of valuable lives. In conclusion, the mayor says: "We appeal to the government to take the speediest and strongest measures possible to ensure full redress and complete security against further Russian outrages." At the conclusion of the fight the hill was covered with the dead and wounded of both armies. The Japanese prisoners were treated by the Russians with the greatest kindness.

Campbell, Rozelle & Webster m MAGNET While the crew were watching the warships searchlights were flashed upon them, in the glare of which the Moulmein's crew observed what they took to be torpedo boats approaching, apparently with the intention of boarding the Moulmein. They steamed away, however, and soon the fishermen were horrified to find' they were being fired upon. First one and then another trawler was struck by flying shot. What seemed to be a round shot went through the Moulmeln's galley. The Mino, lying near by, also was struck with many shots, but fortunately the damage was above her water line, and none of her crew was struck. The Russian commissariat also was admirably handled. Portable soup kitchens were most useful, being taken under tire to feed the men. IF D1 TIP IN CASH is welcome, a tip that means cash for all who act on it, should be also welcome. 57 8.
