The verdict of the jury in the Llanelly railway case will, doubtless, be generally endorsed. The conclusion come to is that the oecillation of the banker engine threw j it off the rails, and it is suggested that; the company should devise other means of assisting their expresses up the G-ower bank. As time goes on the trouble at this incline will be avoided at all events, so far as through traffic is concerned, for the Great Western intend making a new and more direct line, cutting across country from Neath to Llangermec-h, and so on to Llanelly. This will shorten the journey from Paddingt-on to Pembroke-! shire, and so facilitate the rapid Irish transit which will come when the Fish- j guard to Rosslare steamship route is established. The suggesti. on that ambulance mate- rials should be carried on every train is a very good one. It was made by the Llanelly jury last night, and it is not the first time such a thing has been hinted at. "We are not sure that tliere are not trains oven now which carry such appliances for the sake of the employes; but if the idea were adopted for all fast trains, indeed, for passenger trains in general, it would be a very good thing, as large numbers of railway men are, already trained .in ambulance work, and j it is to be hoped this tuition will, by j degrees, be extended over all railway sys- tems and to all employes. ————— A Russian newspaper, the Journal de I' St. Petersbourg," has taken a very sym- pathetic course in regard to the North Sea ['' tragedy, for it has not only spoken of the w?d aifair in serious =d humane terms [< bat it has opened a subscription for the innocent victims. This is excellent in its way, and of good augury so far as it goes. It is t.o be in every way repelled, how- ever, that the Russian press, as a whole, is such a fettered institution, bound hand and foot to the governing authori- ties, and either unwilling or unable to j publish the truth. Renter's Agency complains that its telegrams have been grossly garbled by the Russian press, so that the public has little or no opportu- nity of forming a correct judgment on so grave an issue as the present, all the more so, too, because foreign journals are ruth- lesslv censored before they are permitted to enter the Czar's dominions. ———— Over and above what we have already stated every Russian State Department is absolutely independent of every other, a state of things which must necessarily increase the difficulty of arriving at a speedy settlement on any subject. Then, again, the Czar, however humane and ■ desirous of doing what is right—and on those point there can be no doubt what- ever-is a mere puppet in the hands of his powerful advisers, some of whom would probably welcome a rupture with the nrst Naval Power in order to save Russia's face in her ill-starred Eastern conflict. We have no doubt a peaceful solution will be found, after a delay which will rob the reparation of the grace with which spon- taneity would clothe it. I Every now and then Christmas falls on a Sunday, to the discomfiture of all who look forward to the festive season. A Sunday Christmas is usually celebrated— in the popular sense of the word-on the following day, and now there ia a move- ment on foot to throw in an extra day for the benefit of shop assistants and others who would, as in previous years, hail a consecutive three days' noliday as an opportunity for getting home and seeing their friends. Sucn an arrange- ment would be specially welcome in a town like Cardiff, wnere so large a number of the young men and women employed in the various establishments are from country places dotted ail over Wales. For their sakes, at any rate, we hope the proposal may be carried out, though tnere are plenty of cynics who hold that tiiese holidays are a nuisance, and that they do no good to many of their devotees. A case tried before the Cardiff magis- trates yesterday illustrates an important phase of the domestic servant trouble. A young girl was charged with stealing from her mistress sufficient articles to stock a small establishment, ranging from pepper boxes and wine glasses to lace collars, strings of pearls, and bodices. The long array of goods had been pilfered within a period of seven months, and a portion of the pelf was tracked as far as Newcastle-Emlyn. The young girl-for she was little more—was bound over under the First Offenders Act. It was, of course, an extreme case, for domestic peculations are seldom so extensive and so varied; nevertheless, it shows the trouble many mistresses have to put up with, and the constant fear under which they live, for dishonest servants have numberless opportunities of pilfering, and may-as in the above instance— carry on a long course of theft without detection. People, as a whole, are far less familiar than they ought to be with the geography of foreign countries. Residents in sea- port towns are, as a rule, less wanting in this respect than those who live in inland places—the latter often having the most extraordinary ideas about everything at all pertaining to tne soea. Thus in a Sheffield cafe on Tuesday an indignant lady was heard explaining all about the Hull incident to her daughter. The Russian fleet," she said, Led into the vessels without any reason, killing and wounding ever so many of our nsher- men, and the shame of it all is that all the time our fleet remained at Plymouth and let them do it." 0 Snssi-am Bear, are you arwano The situation's growing grievous?

Mainly About People. I The "Silent Admiral," as they call Rozjest- vensky in Russia, has proved himself an excellent organiser, a stickler for discipline to the last degree, a man with the eyee of an ,argus to keep watch over the rights and wrongs of the men beneath him. So far, indeed, does he carry his fad for supervising everything—looking, for instance, after the food, the clothing, and the berthing of his meanest stubordinate3—1that he is very much less liked by his officers than by his men. From time to time, it is said, he issues sheets of general orders, which, thongh made up with all the routine-like verbiage of a rail- way company, are yet enlivened here and there with flashes of dry wit. In these sheets he has ax times held up offending officers to derision much in the manner of a pedagogue )who haa perched a dunce-capped" young sinner in a corner. The Marquess of Lansdowno is 59 years of aga, and has been a public man ever since in 1328 he became a Lord of the Treasury. He was only 23 when that happened to him, and four years later he was Under-Secretary for War. In 1880 he became Under-Secretary for India. Up to this time he had been a. follower of Mr, Gladstone, but on the Irish question he broke away from his party. Notwith- standing this, Mr. Gladstone sent him out to Cazada as Governor-General in 1833, and five years later he re-placed Lord Dufferin as Viceroy of India. It was in India, perhaps, thai he made his greatest success, for things prospered greatly under his rule, especially those two important features, education and irriga- tion, while under the guidance of Lord Roberts the scheme of military organisation was overhauled and radically reformed. In 1893 be returned from India, two years later entered that gra.ve of reputations—the War Office, and in fXiO he euooeeded Lord Salisbury as Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He has a charming manner, and gives you the effect that he would rather do you a kindness than not. This ie actually the case. for he is not only pleasant for diplomatic reasons, but is a genuinely hind-hearted man. When he was in Canada he was popular with all parties, :nd when it is added that he bears the reputation of being a good landlord among his Irish tenante, it may be concluded that he has quite a.n exceptional gift for winning the affections of those with whom he comts in contact. Of Lord Lansdowne's personal courage many stories might be told, for he was known as a skilled and daring hunter of big galme during ma Indian raoma. The bravest of

all the jaJiil.-o 1 have ever met," wa" the verdict of an old Mohammedan beater who ha.d accompanied him on some of his expe- ditions. I have seen him follow a wounded tiger alone and on foot," said this old man, "through the jungle, and go right into the dark cave where it crouched at bay. Noth- ing could bo seen of the boast except its two glaring eyes shining out of the darkness. The &ahib-Baihadur put a bullet between them as the tiger sprang upon him, killing it instantly." One day in Shanghai (sa.ys a writer in the Chicago Record Herald"), when I was feel- m: poorly, I called a Chinaman to me and said, John. have you any good doctors in China?" "Good doctors!" he exclaimed, "China have best doctors in wo'ld!" ''That one over there," I said, pointing to a. house covered with a doctor's signs, do you call him a good doctor?" Oh, he great doctor!" he exclaimed. He great' He best doctor in China. He save my life once!" "Yon don't say ao;" I said. How was it?" Me velly ill." he said confidentially. Me callee Doctor Han Kou. Givee some medicine. Get velly, velly worse! Me call Doctor Sam Sing. Givee more medicine. Me going to die! Blimeby call Doctor Eudon. He no got time, no come. He savee my life:" Colonel Edward James Sauaderson, the irrepressible Irish M.P., and personal friend of the Xaiser, is ill. He quite won the heart of that sport-loving Sovereign by the boast that he had designed his own yacht, raced it, won a gold cup with it, while the crew were also bred by himself, for they were his four sons. He has an enormous fund of stories, and some of the best of them are against himself. One i3 of a letter he re- ceived from a tenant in reply to a demand for rent. It ran: "If I receive any more of your annoying communications I shall place them in the hands of my solicitor." As a Tory ha is not loved in Ireland, which prompted him to reply when told that he would rise to the top of the tree. "Yes, with a rope round my nêck." Mrs. Patrick Campbell has always been famous for looking after her comforts be- hind the scenes, and now she has rather startled at least one theatre manager in New York. On the first night at the New Amsterdam Theatre," says the Mew York Tribune," her dressing-room was in the second storey, and to reach it she had to take the lift. She discovered a draught in the elevator shaft which dared to blow upon her remarkable shoulders, and. not aeknow- ledgting the breezy compliment, Mrs. Camp- bell demanded a dressing-room on the stage level. There being no dressing-room on the stage level, ten carpenters were busy all nest day erecting one of wooden framev/ork and canvas. But no sooner had Mrs. Camp- bell began to dress than she discovered the noise of the scene-shifters' feet, running about at their labours, affected her nerves. The manager of the theatre was summoned, amd by nine o'clock the scene-shifters were pattering softly over the stage in brand new rubber soles. Then Mrs. Campbell was satis- fied." Lord Ridley—rt is still rather difficult not to call him "Sir Matthew"—is one of the statesmen whose careers have been out short by receiving peerages. His best known work was performed as Home Secretary. The best story told of 'him is of his urpeetting a, sen- tence passed by his brother, Mr. Justice Ridley. The judge, when about to sentence a prisoner, asked for the man's record, and was surprised to fin-d Lhvt only a short time before he had sentelced h-im to five years' penal servitude. "What is the meaning of this?" aoked the judge. "Why, my lord," quoth the offender, "yer eee, I was released by your brother, the 'Ome Seketary, 'oo snid as 'ow Td got a werry improper sen- I tence!" A German scieati-a enthusiastic Dar- winian—feeling convinced that men had lost their original tails merely through careless- ness in not using them, set himself to wag rOT" four hours daily, and in this way in ten years developed three inches of tail. Now, says Dr. Shrady, of New York," we are going to lose other things. There is the Little too. Nobody really uses it, tight boots crush it into rnefficacy, and in about 10,000 years it! will have vanished. Women's feet are getting smaller every ye-ar because they walk less, Conversely, the policeman's foot is big, because he walks so much. In time, too, men will come to do without stomachs. So many! prepared foods are eaten that the digestion becomes weakened through having nothing I to do. In course of time we shall absorb nourishment through our skins, like toads, j and only the most learned scholiasts will be ab'e to throw any light oa the origin of the curious phrase Little Mary."

UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENT. SATISFACTORY PROGRESS MADE AT CARDIFF. The annual meeting of the Oardiff Univer. sity Settlement Association was held at the Cardiff 'Town-hall on Wediieiecay ni.-h.t. Sir Alfred Thomas. M.P., presided, and was supported by Principal E. H. Griffiths, Pro- fessor Burrows, Dr. W. T. Edwards, Mr. Lewis Wiillaims, Ao. Miss Lilian Howell presented the annual report, which stated tJh3lt their work wail developing, and they were looking forward to the opening of the new h-all at the East Moors early in December. The charter of the buiiding was a credit to Mr. Schultz, the architect. A great advance had been made in the work of the girls' club daring the year by the opening of a cottage at Dinas Powis where the girls could spend -week- ends. As to the boys' olub, 'Mrs. Burrows reported that the membership had increased from 65 to 85.—Mr. Daw reported that thsre had been steady pregress in connection wtth the men's club. Audressing the meeting, Sir Alfred Thomas said he regarded the settlement as one of the best phases of the work of the college. Professor Burrows stated that their finan- cial report was not so satisfactory as the report of their work. They were short on the last year's working by about £.30. They could not rest content until they had an income of £ 200 a year, and, therefore, they I appealed very earnestly for increased sub- scriptions. He mentioned that Lord Tredegar had consented to open the new hall in Decem- ber. After referring to the generosity of Mr. Woolcott Thompson, the speaker said that with regard to the building fund they wouid be fairly well satisfied if thay could get another £150. Mr. Lsfwis V^illiams moved, and Mr. Oa-rs- laks Thompson seconded, a resolution express- ing the appreciation of the meeting of the work done. and pledging its-elf to further the cause of the settlement. Dr. W. T. Edwards having also spoken the report was adopted. A vote of thanks to Sir Alfred Thomas for presiding was proposed by Mr. Raymond Allen, barrister, who suggested that if the corporation contributed to their funds, and so helped to improve the moral character of the youth of the town, the money so ex- pended would be saved in the cost of pro- secutions.

j"SHE WANTED TO DIE TI E D i0 D IL 9 A MILFORD HAVEN GIRL'S STRANGE CONDUCT. I Elizabeth Rees, a native of Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire, has for the last twelve or eighteen months been employed at the Lord Nelson Hotel, Milford Haven. A week ago she told her fellow-servants that she was going away, and left behind her box, purso, and all belongings. As she had made serious statement as to what she meant doing, and nothing was heard of her where- abouts, her friends were commullicatd with. Her brother, a minister at Llandilo, came to Milford, but could find no trace of the girl. Late on Monday night the boots at the hotel had occasion to go into a small loft over the lavatory, and there the girl was found. She was conscious, and seemed fairly rational, but all that could be got out of her was that she wanted to die. On Wednesday her friends took her home. The affair is wrapped in mystery. Rees has a brother, a grocer, at Carmarthen, and is of a highly-respp?ta.?e family. She was a bright, cheerful, and intelligent girl, and the last person to be mixed up in any vulgar intrigue, and no explanation of her actions can be gleaned. It is believed that ehe obtained food during the night while hiding in the loft.

I Solicitor Motorist. PROCEEDINGS AT CARDIFF POLICE COURT. At Cardiff on Wednesday (before Mr. E. Milner Jones, deputy-stipendiary) Mr. Frederick Charles Shackel, solicitor, residing at 43, Plymouth-road, Penarth, and with offices in Chucch-street. Cardiff, was sum- moned by Police-constable J. Lewis for having on October 14 driven his motor-car In Penarth- road at a speed alleged to have been dan- gerous to the public. Mr. St. John Francis-Williams appeared for the defence.— Police-constable Lewis's evidence was to the effect that at 2.20 on the afternoon of Friday, the 14th inst., he was on duty at Penarth- road crossing, and saw defendant's motor coming from the direction of Penarth, and i travelling in his estimation at a. rate of eighteen miles an hour. The defendant denied that the pace was eiehte?n miles an hour, and said that from the motion of the constable's arms he inferred that he was to proceed, and a tram which was coming from the direction of the Docks to wait. Mr. St. John Williams, for the defence, urged that there were no especial circum- stances rendering the speed dangerous, and j absolutely nob-ody was endangered, In giving his decision the Deputv-stipen- diar-y held that the defendant was not going at such a speed as v as, having regard to the traffic, dangerous to the public, and he, there- fore, dismissed the summons.

PROF. BOYD DAWKINS AND THE EARLY BRITONS, Professor Boyd Dawkins, of Victoria. Uni- versity, Manchester, on Wednesday delivered his presidential adrlress to the members of the Undeb y Brythoniad of Birmingham. Mr. L. M. Jones (vice-president) was in the chair. The subject of the address was "The Incoming of the Brythons into Britain." Professor Boyd Dawkins pointed out that the earliest race was now represented in the small dark people who were found more particularly in Wales. Their ancestors came in in the Neo- lithic Age, before history began. Having described their nouses and their tombs, he passed on to the next element as represented by the ancestors of the Gael, the Irish, and the Manx races, a tall, fair-haired people, who invaded Europe from the South and East, and arrived in Britain in the Bronze Age. The homos, fortresses, and tombs of this race were graphically pictured, and the professor pointed to the abundant representation of I that race to-day in Scotland, Ireland, and Nort.h Wales, where they are known as the Gwyddels. The sasna race is represented in France and on the Continent by the ancient Gauls. Next there came in the Brythons, who conquered the two previous races and gave their name to Britain. Their entry was in the prehistoric Iron Age, long before the name of Roman was known in the West, and they conquered the whole country as far as the Highlands of Scotland, but did not cross lover to Ireland. Th-ey were represented now ma.inly by the modern Welsh. The address I was profusely illustrated by lantern elides. whidh added greatly to its enjoyment, and the presieeu,tatthe close was most cordially thanked.

So far as was at preocrit known the liabilities were over £ 40,000, while there were no tangible assets. Trust funds formed a considerable share of the liabilities.
THE PONTYPRIDD TRAMWAY SCHEME.
THE PONTYPRIDD TRAMWAY SCHEME. At Pontypridd Police-court on Wednes- day Mr. J. Colenso Jones, clerk to the Ponty- pridd District Council, applied to the magis- trates to appoint a surveyor under the Lands Clauses Act to value certain properties which the council had Parliamentary powers to take over. The council proposed to lay a new street from Mill-street to Rhondda-road, to avoid the existing hill, in connection with the electric. tramway scheme. It was proposed to pass under a near arch of the Taff Vale Railway bridge adjacent. The oouucil desirod to purchase the interests of the company abutting under the bridge. Notices had been served on the oompany to treat, but, con- trary to usual practice, they had not sent particulars, and left the oourcil to take their own course. The municipal authority was anxious to obtain the property at the earliest possible date. The Stipendiary (Mr. J. Ignatius Williams) held that it would be absurd to appoint a gentleman from a distance who was not acquainted with the district. Mr. Colenso Jones, replying, said that the council's desire was that a person not con- nected with the council or oompany should undertake the duty, aid one who had had long experience in the work. Four names were mentioned, and in the end Mr Togarmah Rees, Newport (lion.), was selected.
BARRY LIBRARY DISPUTE I
BARRY LIBRARY DISPUTE Mr. Edwin W. M.

Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C. (instructed by Mr. T. B. Tt)rdoff, clerk), appeared for the district council and libraries' committee; and Mr Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P. (instructed by Messrs. W. R. Davies and Co., solicitors, Pontypriddl, for Mr. Watkin Williams.—Mr. C. E. Hutchin- son, London, one of thE architects, was aga-in examined at considerable length to show that in most instances the concrete foundations of the building were laid on loose made earth, and not sunk to rock bottom. Tho building so far as it had pro- ceeded was about a. foot out of square, and this disfigurement and the structural defects in the foundations were, in his opinion, suffi- cient justification for calling upon the con- tractor to take the present building down carry out the foundations as specified, and re-erect the structure. The afternoon sitting was taken up by the continued cross-examination of Mr. Hutchin- son, before the conclusion of which the inquiry was adjourned till November 10.

I CARDIFF CASHIER I
I CARDIFF CASHIER WHO LIVED AT THE RATE OF Y,800 A YEAR. I Before Mr. Registrar Gilford, at the London Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday, the public examination took place of Arthur E. Davis, of Roath, Cardiff, and late of Weston-super- Mare. Debtor, who was represented by Mr. Harold Lloyd, Cardiff, and Mr. Smith (Smith Lunelle, and Dodds), stated that prior to April last ha was a cashier in the employ of the Wilts and Dorset Bank, Cardiff, and then resided at Albany-road, Oardiff. lie resigned his appointment in April last owing to his wife pressing him for payment of £1,005, for which she had obtained judgment, and to this he attributed his present posi- tion. There was now a deed of separation between them. His total liabilities were ,£1,15J. The act of bankruptcy alleged was the departure of the debtor from his resi- dence, Lovestock, Salisbury-avenue, Penrith,! with intent to defeat and delay his creditors. The £ 1,005 was the proceeds of shares which debtor Q id had been given to him by his wife. She, however, obtained judgment for the amount stated on the ground that the shares had been held in trust. The debtor, examined, said for seven years he had been in the employ of the Wilts and Dorset Bank. At the time of leaving the bank his salary was E180 a year. When he married, in 1397, his salary was JE80 a year. His wife had about £ 300 a year. His wife sold twenty National Provincial Bank sharee, and with the proceeds debtor bought Wilts and Dorset Bank shares. This was, accord- ing to him, a present. The Official Receiver: "What was the reason you say she gave the shares to you? —Debtor: I could not marry her on C80 a year, therefore she agreed-in fact, she offered-to give me the whole of the securi- ties she held. I refused to take them. Then sho offered me these, and I accepted. I could not marry till I had £ 150 a year; the bank would not allow it. I At the time of the separation with your wife in July, 19j3. hadn't you a considerable overdraft at the bank?—Yes. Towards the end we did live beyond our income. That was the cause of my trouble—the first trouble. I pointed out we were living beyond our income, and she said she would not stint herself. Debtor admitted they had lived at the rate of X800 a year. He had lost no money at betting, cards, or speculation. The money all went in household expenses. The Official Receiver: In July, 1903, you rightly or wrongly believed your wife un- faithful. Debtor: Yes. There was then a deed of separation. There was an overdraft of JE711, and the shares were sold to cover that. Con- tinuing, he said his wife had issued a writ for the £ 1,000, and she went to the bank. Two or three small creditors were pressing, and the bank told him he must resign. They suddenly sprang from spending z6500 to P,1,000 a year. He himself sold the horse and trap they had. The examination was closed.
RADICALISM AT CARDIFF.I
RADICALISM AT CARDIFF. I Mr. Ivor Guest and the Russian I Outrage. I Mr. F. J. Beavan presided on Wednesday evening at a meeting held in connection with the Liberal candidature for Cardiff of the Hon. Ivor Guest, M.P.. at the Radnor-road Board Schools. The Hon. Ivor Guest, referring to the Baltic Fleet outrage, said there had been a very serious delay on the part of the Russian Government to give that satisfaction which was our right, and there had been rumours that this action was not so much a blunder as we had been willing to regard it. If satis- factory assurances were not given that such an outrage would not be repeated it would be the duty of every citizen, irrespective of party, to support the Government in any steps which they might think necessary to secure the re-call of the Baltio Fleet. (Applause.) If the Baltic Fleet were not to be re-called by peaceable methods he was glad to say that Lord Charles Beresford was at Gibraltar and would be able to bring pressure to bear on the Russian admiral. (Renewed applause.) Mr. J. T. Richards, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Guest, said the Cardiff Corpora- tion had adopted the Education Act and were going to carry it out. The Act said, You shall maintain and keep efficient the volun- tary schools and the Catholic schools." They would do so. Councillor Blow, in seconding a similar vote to the chairman, denied that he had voted as a Conservative on the education question. Mr. Guest afterwards addressed a meeting at the Central Liberal Club.
THE TAFF VALE CASE.I
THE TAFF VALE CASE. I In the course of a debate on the Taff Vale judgment, Mr. A. Symons moved:—"That this congress is strongly of opinion that any fur- ther legislation to enlarge the powers of Trades Unions, or to exempt their funds from legitimate claims for compensation for loss or damage sustained in consequence of the action of such Trades Unions, is undesirable, believing that such legislation as is demanded by Trades Unions would be inimical to the best interests of capital and labour, and destructive in its effect upon British indus- trial prosperity." Mr. Collison, in seconding, quoted an instance of the suffering occasioned by Trades Union tyranny, and gave an outline of evidence he would be prepared to give before the Royal Commission. The resolution was supported by Mr. P. M' Auliffe. and unani- mously accepted.

STORY PROVES TO BE I FALSE Negotiations are still proceeding be- tween the British and Russian Govern- ments. Tho greatest activity continues in British naval circles, and the different fleets are said to be in a perfect state of preparedness. How long the Govern- ment will wait is a matter upon which no official information can be obtained; but it is the opinion in well-informed quarters that delay beyond to-day will force the Government to take further action. It is believed that if an ulti- matum is considered necessary a meeting of the Cabinet will be held before it is issued. Interviewed at Vigo, Admiral Rozjest- vepsky is reported to have made the remarkable statement that the "incident" was inevitable. He acted in accordance with his conscience, with the object of preventing the destruction of his squad- ron. The report of the sinking of the trawler Silvia and the loss of eight or nine lives is declared to be without foundation. A Strange Story ALLEGED SINKING OF ANOTHER TRAWLER The Mayor of Hull on Wednesday night received a telegram stating that a man had been landed at Newhaven, who says he is the only survivor of the Sylvia, which was fired upon by the Russians. It was ascertained that the man, Henry Williams, of Romsey, near Southamp- ton, was landed on Wednesday morning at Newhaven by a cargo boat from Caen (France), and he proceeded by train to Romsey. He told a reporter that he was a member of the crew of the Sylvia, adding that it had been fired upon in the North Sea by the Russians. He said he was fast asleep when he was aroused by tne firing, and that the Sylvia was knocked over. After clinging to the bottom of a boat for over two hours, he stated, he was rescued by French fisher- men, who gave him clothing, and treated him kindly. He afterwards found that four of his inate3 were on board the same French vessel. All were landed at Caen, where the British Consul gave them passes to their respective homes, and despatched them by various routes. He did not know the names of the others rescued, but he gave the names of the three missing men as Wells, J. Wil- liams, and Fitzpatrick. He could say very little about the outrage, but remarked that he hoped lie would not have to undergo another such experience. It was afterwards discovered that this story was a complete fabrication. I Position in London, INCREASED ANXIETY IN THE PUBLIC MIND LONDON, Wednesday Night. Both among responsible officials and gene- rally in the public mind there is to-day increased anxiety concerning the outcome of the Russian outrage in the North Sea. The facts of the case are unquestionable, and on Monday afternoon urgent representations with regard to them were made by the British Foreign Office to the Russian Govern- ment. It was then officially announoedthat the situation admitted of no delay"; yet this evening, after two days' interval, no complete and satisfactory reply has been received from the ruling authorities in St. Petersburg. It is true that a reply has reached Whitehall, but not one adequate to the necessities of the occasion or correspond- ing to the irreducible demands firmly put forward by the British Government. Nego- tiations are, therefore, still pending, with every desire on our side for an amiOOible settlement. It is, however, more and more being realised that if this issue be not speedily attained recourse must be had to sterner forms of pressure, for which even now some preparations are in progress. The precautions taken by his Majesty's advisers are ordered under a deep sense of responsi- bility, but also with a full consciousness that in this case the public opinion of the country, irrespective of party, requires us to be pre- pared for auy emergency. To-night the situation is a grave and anxious one, but that it has not reached a critical stage is apparent from the fact that the Prime Minister has not thought it neces- sary to summon a Cabinet Council. There is no present prospect of the cancellation of the Premier's engagement to speak at South- ampton on Friday, and some reassurance may be found in the fact that the right hon. gentleman was able to leave town to-night to visit the Marquess of Salisbury at Hatfield. A King's Messenger from Newmarket arrived in Downing-street this afternoon with dispatch-boxes from his Majesty. The circum- stance is in no way unusual, but it indicates that the King is being kept informed of the progress of events. Unless any unfavourable development occurs his Majesty will remain at Newmarket till Saturday. Since leaving London urgent messages have passed between his Majesty and Lord Knollys, his private secretary, who, also, is out of town, but no confirmation can be obtained officially of the statement that the King has received a direct message of regret from the Czar. Inevitable "I ncident." I ADMIRAL ROZJESTVENSKY ON THE I OUTRAGE MADRID, Wednesday. A telegram has been received here from Vigo giving the following account of a state- ment made by Admiral Rozjestvensky in an interview on the North Sea outrage. The admiral is represented to ha.ve said the North Sea incident was inevitable. He acted in acoordanoe with his conscience, with the object of preventing the destruction of his squadron. Before leaving Libau he had made known his intention of attacking any ship which approached the fleet. Admiral Rozjestvensky expressed regret that he could not ro-victual his fleet at Vigo, but said he would be content with the 400 tans of coal for each vessel of the fleet which he had asked for to take him to the Straits of Gibraltar, where the calmer water would permit him of victualling at s,-a.-Reutp-r. FURTHER EXTRAORDINARY I EXPLANATIONS VIGO, 11.30 p.m. Principe Ksretalli, an officer of the battle- ship Imperator Alexander III., belonging to the Russiau Baltic Fleet, has given the fol- lowing explanation of the attack on the trawlers in the North Sea by the Russian squadron. He says that the transport Amadul, Which was steaming ahead of the wtte suddenly surrounded by eight torpedicfbc&te, and renueatad aaewteunoa. The battleship division advanced and signalled to the unknown vessels to leave or to state their nationality. The vessels refused to obey, and advanced among the Russian battleships. Suddenly a cannon shot was heard from the unknown vessels, apd the admiral thereupon formed line of battle and replied to the fire, afterwards continuing his voyage. The officer added that the Russians feared that the strange torpedo-boats were Japanese, as the admiral knew that the Japanese had pur- chased t-orpedo-boats in England. The "Correspondenijia Espana" has received the following telegram from Vigo: The officers of the Russian warships, in explana- tion of the Hull affair, state that during their voyage down the North Sea two torpedo- boats were observed between the lines of the squadron. Supposing that they had to deal with a Japanese attack, they opened firw They assert that they saw guns on two of the boats, and that none of the sailors looked like fishermen. They were unaware that any of the crew were wounded, and they regret the mistake." At St. Petersburg I THE RUSSIAN ADMIRAL'S REPORT I c.m RECEIVED. I I OX. J:JT.c..n.¡:jjjU.I:U, Wednesday (5.55 p.m.). I From observations made by officers of the Naval General Staff, it is inferred that Admiral Rozjestvensky's report on the North Sea incident reached St. Petersburg this a,fternoon.-Reut,er. NO CLAIM YET MADE TO THE I RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. I ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday Evening. The Central News is authorised to state that the British Ambassador conferred yes- terday with Count Lamsdorff, and reported to him the information that had been received at the Embassy from London con- cerning the incident between the British trawlers and the Russian Baltic Fleet in the North Sea, and also respecting the damage done to the fishing vessels and the loss of life amongst the seamen. Subsequently Count Lamsdorff, after receiving instructions from the Emperor, visited the British Ambassador and expressed to Sir Charles Hardinge, by his Majesty's orders, the regret felt by the Emperor and the Russian Govern- ment at the occurrence of the incident. Up to the time of telegraphing (7 p.m.) no com- munica.tions had passed between the British Government and Count Lamsdorff respecting the incident, and no cla.im had been made by England to the Russian Government. It is obvious that the Russian Government must receive all the details connected with the inci- dent, but no official statement of the facte has yet been received here. The Russian Government, of course, will be ready to indemnify the innocent sufferers in the njost generous manner.Centml News. PREPARING THE BRITISH CLAIM. Reuter's Agency is informed that no time has been lost in taking steps to estimate the actual amount of damage occasioned to British fishing interests by the Baltic Fleet, and that two separate commissions are already engaged in investigating the matter, so that a complete bill for compensation may be presented at the earliest moment to the Foreign Office for transmission to the Russian Government. At the present moment it is impossible to estimate the extent of the damage caused by the fire of the Russian warships, and there is every reason to believe that greater harm than is at present known has been done to the property of the fishing fleet. A Government survey party is now on its way to the Dogger Bank to collect data as to the damage done to trawlers, to gear, and to the ships themselves. This party, which includes a Board of Trade sur- veyor, a representative of the owners, and other experts, will probably be back in Lon- don on Friday. Another Government survey is working on the damaged ships which have already arrived from the North Sea, while other officials are drawing up necessary information regarding the compensation to be claimed for the wounded and for relatives of the dead fishermen. Although meanwhile every provision is being made for the sufferers, it is desired that the complete claim to be presented to Russia shall be ready with- out delay. Naval Preparations I PROMPT ACTION OF THE BRITISH ADMIRALTY. A Portsmouth correspondent telegraphs that never have the vessels in the Fleet Reserve been more in a condition of pre- paredness than they are at the present time. Significant orders were received on Wed- nesday, however, with the result that over- time has been ordered on board the battle- ship Triumph, the new battleship purchased not long since from the Chilian Government, which was injured recently in a collision. MEDITERRANEAN FLEET SAILS I FROM VENICE. ROME, Wednesday Afternoon. The British Mediterranean Fleet left Venice this morning, steaming south.-Contral News. CHANNEL & HOME SQUADRONS I The Earl of Onslow (President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries), speaking at the Glasgow Corporation luncheon on Wed- nesday, said the Admiralty had taken the precaution of ordering the Channel Squadron to Gibraltar and the Home Fleet to the Firth of Forth. GIBRALTAR, Wednesday Afternoon. The ships of the Channel Fleet are now coaling from the Admiralty piers without waiting for the arrival of the colliers, which are due. It is understood that the warships will put to sea at once, keeping touch with Gibraltar by wireless telegraphy. There is no news here of the whereabouts of the Rus- sian fleet- Later. The battleships Victorious, Illustrious, and Majestic, and the cruisers Lancaster, Theseus, and Endymion, are under orders to sail on Friday morning, it is reported, to shadow the battleships of the Baltic Fleet, which are expected to go to the East via the Cape of Good Hope.. The Russian cruisers and torpedo-boats are expected to pass the Straits making for the Suez Canal. The entire Gibraltar torpedo-boat flotilla has been com- missioned.-Reu,t,er. CHANNEL FLEET READY AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. GIBRALTAR, Wednesday. The ships of the Channel Fleet have filled their bunkers and replenished their ammuni- tion and other 3tores, and are ready to put to sea at a moment's notice. His Majesty's battleships Jupiter and Hannibal and the cruiser Doris are keeping a strict watch out- side the straits. It is reported that the authorities expect the arrival of the Mediter- ranean Fleet shortly There is great activity in the dockyard, where work continues night and day. The Admiralty is inquiring among local coal merchants as to the quantity and price of coal available here.-Bcuter. DOUBLE GANGS WORKING AT CHATHAM DOCKYARD The gangs of workmen employed at Chatham in re-fitting the new first-class cruisers Kent and Berwick have been doubled, and night gangs have been warned, in order to expedite the completion of the vessels. The vessels are under orders to leave Chatham on Saturday, to take their places in the Cruiser Squadron. There will be some difficulty in completing the Kent in time, as her guns have been tem- porarily removed and her machinery opened up. However, the gangs of men employed have been considerably strengthened, and they will work in relays both night and day. The crews of the two cruisers are ready to start at a moment's notice. The Cruiser Squadron, to which the Kent and Berwick are attached, consists, in addi- tion, of the Drake and Good Hope, whose home port is Portsmouth, and the Donegal and Monmouth, with Devonport as their depot. Rear-admiral Sir W. Fawkes, who com- mands this powerful squadron, flies his flag on the Good Hope, which, like her sifSter ship the Drake, has a tonnage of 14,100 and engines of 30,000 horse-power. She carries a crew of nine hundred, and has a speed of twenty-three knots an hour. She is armed with 9.2, 6in., and 12-pounder guns, besides smaller ordnance and machine guns. The Good Hope is heavily armoured. The Drake carries a similar complement and armament. The Kent, Berwick, Donegal, and Monmoutih are not so formidable as their consorts. The Baltic Fleet I RUSSIAN WARSHIPS ARRIVE OFF I VIGO VIGO, Wednesday. The Russian battleships Imperator, Alex- ander, Borodino, Orel, and Kniaz Suvaroff, and the transport Armadul have anchored in the harbour. Other vessels of the Baltic Fleet are not far off. Later. At two o'clock in the afternoon Admiral Rozjestvensky, accompanied by the captains of the other vessels, came on shore, and paid official visits to the Military Governor, the commandant of the port, and the French Consul. He was received by a guard of honour with a band. Later in the afternoon, as the result of further representations from the port commandant, the Russian admiral gave his word of honour that he would not coal in Spanish waters, but, at the same time, he urged the commandant to ask his Govern- ment to permit each Russian ship to take at least 400 tons of coal in order to enable the fleet to reach Tangier. Of the five colliers that were lying in the harbour two are still alongside the ironclads, but the three others have sailed for Tangier. M. Seih, the Russian Consul, has been on board the war vessels. The crews seem very nervous. All movements of the craft in the harbour are closely watched by the Russian sentries, and all the ships seem to be cleared for action. It is reported that instructiona haw been given 4 by the Spanish for everything to be done to make the squadrons stay here as short as pomible.-Ileut-er. BREST, Wednesday. The Russian transport Kniaz Gortchakoff is still in the Great Roadstead, and is await- ing the passing of Ushant by the Russian Baltic Fleet, which has orders to victuaL The Kniaz Gortchakoff has not com- municated with shore. She has on board 2,500 tons of coal, and carries a crew of 78 men.-R,euter. A number of merchants here have made the necessary arrangements for executing any orders for coal which may be given them for replenishing the bunkers of the Baltic Fleet. ALL LIGHTS EXTINGUISEED CORUNNA, Wednesday. Some fishing boats which arrived here fo. day report that when off Cape Ortegal last night they sighted four large warships steam- ing in the direction of Cape Finisterre with all lights extinguished. These are evidently the four Russian battleships which are now in Vigo Harbour.—Central News. DISABLED RUSSIAN WARSHIP IN THE NORTH SEA. The trawler Princess Victoria, of North Shields, cn arrival at Aberdeen on Wednesday reported passing a disabled Russian warship in the North Sea between Thursday night and Friday morning. The trawler had just passed the Hull trawling fleet, when she sighted a warahip at a point about 43 miles from where the trawlers were fired upon. On Saturday morning the vessel was burning two red lights, which the trawler skipper read aa a warning to keep off. The skipper, neverthe- less, steamed close in, and hailod the foreigner, thinking probably that she required assistance, but no answer was given, although the trawler remained alongside for three- quarters of an hour. The Princess Victoria afterwards steamed off. LORD ROSEB RY AND "THIS UNSPEAKABLE OUTRAGE." The Mayor of Hull on Wednesday evening received a telegra-m from Lord Rosebery:- "I am sending you Z100 for the victims at this unspeakable outrage.-ROSEBERY." Russia Bellicose. A REPORTED INTERVIEW WITH SIR CHARLES HARDINGE ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday. The Czar's message to King Edward is con- sidered in St. Petersburg as a proof of hia Imperial Majesty's desire to conciliate the British nation, while the official attitude ig of the same character. On the other hand, a correspondent has noticed a bellioose tendency on the part cf the Russian public, the natural effect of eight months' war. The correspondent of the Matin a.t St. Petersburg has questioned Sir Charles Har- dinge upon the reply made by Count Lams- dorff to the British Note. Sir Charles is reported to have stated that the Foreign Minister expressed his regret that he waa absolutely ignorant of the present where. abouts of the Baltic squadron. Russia had no communication with the fleet. This excep- tional situation was surprising to the Ambas. sador, who expressed himself astonished to see in time of war a fleet without communion tion with its Government. It is profoundly regrettable," Sir Charlee is reported to have declared, that Admiral Rozjestvensky should pass by the French signal stations and yet remain silent." Ha remarked on the coincidence of the admiral's silence and the rapid flight of the squadron, which was a proof that Rozjestvensky was fully conscious of the atrocity of the act.- Central News. RUSSIAN SYMPATHY. ST. PETERSBURG, Wednesday. The Journal de St. Petersburg," referring to the incident in the North Sea, says:Wd have to speak of an unfortunate occurrence* and, indeed, from the moral point of view, an event like this is just as much a Russian as an English misfortune. Compelled to trans- port its sailors 20,000 kilometres across the ocean, the whole Russian nation is devoting itself to this effort with its grave risks and responsibilities, and at this moment the stroke of fate falls, filling us with the regret that a man of honour would necessarily feel if his sword, directed against a fully-armed enemy, should inadvertently strike the un- covered breasts of persons absolutely un- armed." The management of the journal invites the Russian public to manifest its sympathies with the victims of the tragedy by subscrib- ing to a fund which it opens with a contribu- tion of 50 roubles ( £ 5).—Central News.

C.B's. Strong Indictment Sir Henry Gampbed 1 -Ban nerman, speaking at Norwich on Wednesday night said:- What are we to say to the unparalleled and cruel outrage committed by a great fleet of warships upon unoffending fishermen? (Cries of "Shame.") Of course, if there was the slightest idea that this atrocious act was authorised in any way by the Government of Russia, no language would be too strong, and no action would be too strong, to adopt in reply to it—(loud cheers)—but that idea we at once discard. (Hear, hear.) It is impossible. Then how do you account for what occurredE I hear them talk of an accident. (Laughter.) Accident it cannot have been, because the big guns of great ships do not go off by acci- dent. (Cheers.) Misunderstanding it was not, because there was nothing to misunderstand. (Renewed cheers.) Blunder it was not, for it was on too large a scale and too deliberate. (More cheering.) We must remain in mystified amazement; but we are glad that the Government at once called for apology and reparation, and I myself make no doubt whatever that the Russian Government will make an ample response. There will surely also be some guarantee — (cheers) -that in their future cruise round tho world—(laughter)—this fleet will comply with the rules of international comity, of civilised warfare and of simpla humanity—(prolonged cheers)—all of which have been so wantonly infringed in this case. Our countrymen are absolutely agreed in sipporting the demands of the Government— (more cheerifcg)—and they are also agreed in their warm sympathy with the unfortunate victims of the catastrophe.
