THE TITUSVILLE HERALD. FIRST PART. TITUSVIMjE. PA, OCTOBER 28, 1904, PAGES 1 TO 6. UNACCOUNTABLE DELAY TO CAUSES DISSATISFACTION. Claimed That Russian Admiral Has Not Made Official Report in the North Sea Incident, Though He Has Had Ample Opportunity. DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE PUBLISHES AN ITINERARY Tbere ls an accentuation of feeling ia Great Britain over the delay of the Russian government In procuring from tbe commander of the Baltic squadron his version of tbe attack on the Hull fishing fleet. Admiral Rojestvensky, who ls at Vigo, Spain, has, so far as the public ls Informed, made no official explanation of the events ot the night of Oct. 21, bat in an interview with the Associated Press, he has put -forward tbe statement that two torpedo boats, presumably Japanese craft, appeared among the ships' oft Dogger Bank, and, failing to comply with a demand to retire or state their i nationality, were fired upon. Biz of tke best ships of the British channel fleetVre under orders to sail tomorrow morning, presumably to shadow the further'movements of Russian warships sailing for the Cape of Good Hope and all the other vessels of the channel fleet are ready to put to sea at a moment's notice. Besides the five Russian ships at Vigo there are others reported at Villagarcta and Arosa Bay. They have been notified that they will not be permitted to coal in Spanish porta ated Press from an authoritative tnurce that puts a brighter light upon the situation. It Is understood that practically everything has been decided upon to the satisfaction of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, except the question of the punishment of the offending officers of the Baltic squadron. NEWS FROM NEARBY TOWNS THE TENSION INCREASES A8 SETTLEMENT IS DELAYED Russia Will Only Be Given Short time to Consider. LONDON, Oct. 26.—Tension increases as time passes without a definite settlement of the situation created by the Russian blnnder in the North Sea. Ambassador Brenkendorf's communication to Foreign Minister Lansdowne and the fact that tbis was regarded as unsatisfactory only served to inflame the public mind; and white official circles are giving out .intimations that it Is their confident belief the whole matter will be satisfactorily arranged It is now tniite evident that'only a short time will be allowed Russia in which to gtve final and complete assurances of her intention to comply with any and all demands Oreat Britain may make within reason. The arrival of Admiral Rojestvensky at Vigo and the certainty that he is tn direct communication with his government, removes at once the possibility of any delay on account ot the Inability of Russia to get his side of the occurrences of the night of Oct. 21. With this official Version before the Russian government together with the official statement of the members of the fishing fleet, It is unlikely that the British public or the government will allow another twenty-tour hours to elapse bo- fore receiving a report. At 3 o'clock this morning there is no sign as to when Admiral Rojestvensky's report will be made public, but If unofficial reports should turn out to reflect the admiral's official report, it is evident the Russian officers made an extraordinary blunder in mistaking trawlers for torpedo boats and fired on their phantom foes' This astonishing explanation is regarded here as not fitting ill with the state ot panic suggested as having prevailed among the officers of the Baltic fleet; and In thai case it is suggested that the Russian government should find no difficulty In removing and punishing the officers responsible. The newspapers this morning evince - more heat and impatience than heretofore at Russia's delay, which is considered absolutely indefensible In the Present circumstances. •Meanwhile, the admiralty Is not idle. Reports from all naval stations snow- that a tremendous state of activity exists. This is especially true of Gilral- tar, from which place it is announced hat some of the best of great Britain's war vessels are under orders to proceed in the direction of the Russian Baltic squadron, and that all the ships of the British channel fleet are ready to go to sea at a moment's notice. Hitherto there has been no Indication that a time limit had been set by Great Britain for Russia's reply to her demands, but the tact that three battleships and three cruisers are now under orders for the morning of Oct. 28 ls construed in some quarters to mean that Oreat Britain will not watt longer than that date before unleashing her sea dogs, while It is also evident that the Russian cruisers and some otber boats ot the Battle squadron may find difficulty in passing the gateway to tbe east unless the 'crisis is completely oyer by the time they reach the entrance to the Mediterranean. Information has reached the Associ- RICEVILLE. Oct. 27. On Monday evening, Oct. 81, there will be given at the I. O. O. P. Hall, a Hallowe'en social, by the Lady Maccabees.

Miss Payne als3 sang at the afternoon session. Their singing was received with applause and was favorably mentioned many timjs during the afternoon and evening. —During his lecture In tbe Presbyter- ian church Tuesday evening John Willis Baer said: "I believe in Immigration along Theodore Roosevelt's line. We cannot get too much immigration of the right kind, and we want none of the other kind." Mr. Baer was born of Bohemian parentage and some of his views on immigration are as unusual as they are interesting. —A freight ear jumped the track at Boughton about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and delayed traffic on the Chautauqua division for several hours.

There was no one Injured and no serious damage was done. —E. E. Francis of North Clarendon arrived'tai the city yesterday, suffering Nomination Papers Were Filed Meadviile a Week Ago. E. O. Emerson, Jr., has been nominated on the Citizens' ticket of Titusville for the office of select councilman- at-large. He will succeed his brother, the late Charles F. Emerson, and will serve from the time of his election until April, 1907. This will complete the unexpired term of four years, the office having been vacant for several months. The city charter provides that the branch of council in which a vacancy occurs shall determine by resolution the time of filling such vacancy. This the select council did soon after the death of Charles F. Emerson, appoint- I ing the eighth day of November as the date upon which his successor should be elected. For some reason the time within which it was lawful for the mayor to issue a proclamation, calling a oity convention to make nominations, was allowed to elapse. A week ago yesterday nomination papers, signed by 2 per cent, of the highest nuirfber of voters casting tli'eir ballots for any officer at the last municipal election, were filed with the county commissioners. These papers name Mr. E. O. Emerson, Jr., as a Citizens' caqjli- |jfjj date, to succeed bis brother. It is nowr-- too late to file nomination papers for. any other candidate and Mr. Emerson has the fleld without opposition. j There has been considerable legislation held up In select council during the latter part of the summer because of a deadlock, there being but four members. Mr. Emerson has every desired qualification for the position and his election at this time, rather thaw next spring, will. undoubtedly facilitate business in select council. PERSONALS.

Emerson, Jr., has been nominated on the Citizens' ticket of Titusville for the office of select councilman- at-large. He will succeed his brother, the late Charles F. Emerson, and will serve from the time of his election until April, 1907. This will complete the unexpired term of four years, the office having been vacant for several months. The city charter provides that the branch of council in which a vacancy occurs shall determine by resolution the time of filling such vacancy. This the select council did soon after the death of Charles F. Emerson, appoint- I ing the eighth day of November as the date upon which his successor should be elected. For some reason the time within which it was lawful for the mayor to issue a proclamation, calling a oity convention to make nominations, was allowed to elapse. A week ago yesterday nomination papers, signed by 2 per cent, of the highest nuirfber of voters casting tli'eir ballots for any officer at the last municipal election, were filed with the county commissioners. These papers name Mr. E. O. Emerson, Jr., as a Citizens' caqjli- |jfjj date, to succeed bis brother. It is nowr-- too late to file nomination papers for. any other candidate and Mr. Emerson has the fleld without opposition. j There has been considerable legislation held up In select council during the latter part of the summer because of a deadlock, there being but four members. Mr. Emerson has every desired qualification for the position and his election at this time, rather thaw next spring, will. undoubtedly facilitate business in select council. PERSONALS.
