For President,

For Vice President,
HENRY G. DAVIS,
<>1 West Virginia,
We will Hope. Nevertheless.
Tho Washington Post, 11 conservative
and non-partiznn paper,
reviewing the presidential situation
two weeks ahead of tho /voting,
says that surface indications
point to the election of Roosevelt.
At the saino time it says the Democrats
aie hopeful and their campaign
is more aggressive. The
party is certainly lining up in
more compact shape Vinn at any
time binco 1*1)2, and the Domncr:iis
liopo for n repetition of
that surprising election and the
Republicans fear it. After nh
it if only guess work, and surface
indications are not unerring and
the mere fact that the Republican
are working like heavers shows
that tho leaders do not have that
confidence privately which they
publicly express. The Democrats
had obstacles to overcome
among them being vast sums of
n n
money and the whole machinery
of the government, and naturally
they did not enter the contest with
a superabundance of confidence,
and it is possible that Republican
huraahing has bluffed the Demo
crats ami has caused tho surface
indications referred to. YVc trust
it is so, anyway, and shall continue
to do so until the vote is cast.?

Russian Admiral Tells Why He A
Fired.- Thought He Saw Torpedo
He ut a. ? Situation Has
Become Really Serious.
London, Oct 27.?Admiral c*
Rojcstvcusky's report on the fir- w
ing on the fishing licet in tho ^
North Sea has been received by &
Count BenckendorfT, Russian
ambussudor, and handed to For- a
oigh Secretary Lord Landsdowno.
The admiral states ho never had ?
any intention of firing against tho ^
the trawlers. If tho stray shot

were easily noticed by the Russian s<
fleet ns it passed Dogger bunk, P
and uniong the trawlers the Rus- e(
sian officers noticed two steamers, K
moving at u high speed, which n
looked exactly like torpedo boats. ^
Admiral Rojestveneky concluded
the}' were Japanese torpedo boats, n'
and says it is his impression that sl
the squadron fired only against
these two ships. One of these a(
foreign torpedo boats disappeared
after the liring, but the other re- h
maincn until morning, waiting for ti
its companion or repairing. The g
admiral denies that a Russian war ^
ship was left behind for six hours tl
and never lowered a boat to as- r
sist the injured. The Russian of- d
licers, he says, were totally ignorant
that any shots struck the n
trawlers. In behalf of himself v
and all his ollicers and men he cx- ?
tremedy regrets that any of the t
trawlers suffered. tl

London,Oct. 27.?The London u
press comments on the alloged ex- ?
planation of admiral Rodjestveniky c
emanating from Madrid in the a
most caustic tone. It is a notice- c
able feature that theso comments "

in their intimation. The Pall Mall I
Gazette pays the following tribute
to Rodjestvensky's statement: 8
"Wc can only say the man must tl
have been either mad or drunk or tl
that he is a liar." o
Note?Admiral Rodjestvensky's
alleged explanation of the tiring
upon Iho fishing fleet was to the
eifect that there appeared two topedo
boats, presumably Japanese j,
which failing to answer signals as \
to their nationality, were fired h
upon. v

Londcn, Oct. 27.?The report
is current tonight that pending a
satisfactory settlement of the dif- r<
ficulty between Russia and Eng- d
land, orders wero issued to Lord d'
Beresford, commanding the channel
fleet, to stop the Baltic fleet if
it attempts to pass southward on ,
its way to the far East. Orders
for the concentration of the British
ships indicate that the report
? I
is true.
A dispatch from Vigo, Spain, ai
says the Baltic fleet is preparing
to sail tomorrow. ]
The powerful British fleet is ^
concentrating in its path The
torpedo flotilla of 27 vessels has
already cleared the Straits of Gibraltar,
westward bound. The

battleships, Victoria, Illustrious ^
and Majestic, and the cruisers

Gibraltar oarly tomorrow morning.
