British Lion Getting Cli Bear, and High FRANCE AS A CONSERVATIVE FORCE While Admiral Rojestvensky's Report is Derided in England, International Courtesy Requires an Investiga tion?Vessels of Other Neutral Powers are Found to Have Been Fired on?Oredrs Sent to Gibraltar to Bar the Russian Squadron's Progress?Attitude of France Alone Prevents War. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's ex planation of the attack of his squadron on British trawlers, while it is received with incredulity by the people and the press of Greai Britain, has probably turned the current of diplomatic negotiations into a new channel. The British Foreign Office is in courtesy (Obliged to accord an investigation into circumstances narrated by the Russian admiral, re-enforced as it is by the testimony of subordinate officers of the squadron and by the report of the Danish minister of marine, communicated to the Russian government, that vessels were known to have been chartered at Hull and in Sweden by the Japanese government for the purpose of attacking the Baltic squadron during its passage of the North Sea and English channel. There are on the one side stories of Russian ships tiring upon vessels of several neutral nations, and on the otner or trfiaents tenuing 10 establish Admiral Rojestvensky's report that there were armed hostile vessels in the vicinity of at least Ihe Hull fishing fleet. Pending developments in diplomatic exchanges, the British admiralty is showing the utmost activity in bringing fleets within the course of the Russian squadron. London, By Cable.?One of the most complicated diplomatic situations in recent history, and one that is attended with the most dangerous possibilities for the peace of the whole of Europe exists, with no sign of immediate solution. The tension that arose when the dispute between Great Eritain and Russia resolved itself into the simple question whether Russia would or would not guarantee and advance that some punishment should be administered to the offending officers of the Baltic squadron, has been modified by the introduction of an entirely new set of contentions contained in Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's report: yet even the most astute diplomats, who recognize a temporary improvement in conditions, are puzzled by the complications that so curinnclv if HnwovPr thprp io at. the embassies of powers not concerned in the dispute a very strong conviction that a way cut will be found other than in recourse to war. The Foreign Office, apparently as puzzled as the onlookers, pursues the policy of silence, and the British press is almost totally uninformed. The voluminous exchange daily occurring between London and St. Petersburg continue the statement that no reply fiom Russia has been received, adding to the implication that Russia is intentionally ignoring the British representations. It is this misconception which Is chiefly responsible Tor the | stirring up of a popular agitation I One Farmer Kills Another. Windsor, Ga., Special.?C. D.

New York, Special.?Fire which began shortly after midnight has destroyed the pier at the foot of Fortysecond street, in Brooklyn, and the steamer City of Palermo, of tne Prince line, is burning, and it is believed cannot be saved.

A dispatch from a staff correspondent of The Sun In New York states that Republican confidence In the election of Mr. Roosevelt is based on the I possession of an immense campaign . fund provided by trusts. De I.ancey Nicoll declared he would open the books of the Democratic National Committee and give contributors' names if Chairman Cortclyou would do the same. Judge Parker will make speeches next week in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. i IS MOVED use After the Russian Feeling Prevails against which the governnfent may find it hard to stand out in the possible event of Foreign Minister Lans dowue withdrawing the demand that Russia guarantee punishment before inquiry is instituted. Had Admiral Rojestvensky's report not arrived, it is probable the dispute would have been settled one way or the other. Its terms, however, are generally held to prevent the presentation of the ultimatum which Great Britain undoubtedly intended to send. Although Lord Lansdowne has frankly said that the circumstances reported by Admiral Rojestvensky are to him inconceivable, the Foreign Minister is not prevented from seeing that new light has been thrown on the "outrage," and that diplomatic usage now compels less urgent action,than the British government at first contemplated. In the present temper of the British nation it is not at all likely that preparations for hostilities will be relaxed or that the popular outcry will be diminished by Admiral Rojestvensky's report; but it is understood that Great Britain would run the risk of forfeiting in some degree the good will of France, and certainly that of Germany, if she proceeded to substitute warlike for diplomatic steps, of which intention, so it is stated at the Russian embassy, there is no indication in Lord Lansdowne's communication. The attitude of France is held to be of the highest importance. It was said by the representative of another great power, that if France had given definite assurances that she wooM not support Russia In the event of war growing out of the North Sea incident, a hostile issue would be almost inevitable, as the temptation to crush the Russian naval power after such provocation could scarely have l>~en refused by Great Britain. It is pointed out that it is greatly to France's interests to preserve peace, and her efforts in that direction obviously will be strengthened by not committing herself except at the last moment. So long as Great Britain is not sure whether France will help Russia, she will not bo likely to engage in war; while Russia, with foanee neutral, would, so it is thought at most of the embassies here, scarcely invite defeat. The most probable solution of the rumors regarding France's position is said by a high authority to be that she has given both disputants to understand that she does not desire to become involved, but ha9 reserved her final decision. Ambassador Cambon was unceasingly active throughout the day, not only visiting Foreign Minister Landsowne and Ambassador Benkendorff, but other of his diplomatic COlle3gUC3. Swedish Ship Fired On. Stockholm. By Cable.?The skipper of the Swedish steamer Aldebaran, from Hull. England, which arrived at Gefle, Sweden, says his vessel was chassd in the Skagerack during the evening of Friday, October 21, by a foreign cruiser, apparently Russian, which threw searchlights on her. The cruiser, increasing her speed, parsed the Alderbaran, and fired a shot; which had no effect. The Aldebaran thereupon hoisted her flag and the cruiser again threw her searchlight on the steamer, and a few minutes later hailed shot all around the Alderbaran, without, however, hitting her. The Aldebaran's skipper then ordered the steamer to be stopped, and with his crew sought refuge below. The foreign warship thereupon disappeared in the darkness. Heavy Firing in Progress. Mukden, By Cable.?There was an artillery fight on the north shore of V\A Q o 1- K A rivAt* /li'pnAflv oniith n# Mukden. The cannonading, which was heavy, was continued today. The Russians are attacking. If unsuccessful, they will fight right up to the walls of Mukden. Mistook For Japanese. Madrid, By Cable.?A telegram from Vigo to the Correspondencia says: "Officers of the Russian squadron give the following explanation, of the North Sea incident. While steaming, by night they saw two torpedo boats within the lines of the squadron. Supposing a Japanese attack was impending, they opened fire. They say they did not see any sailors looking like fishermen aboard the two boats fired at. The officers say they do not kuow if any of the members of the crew were wounded. "They express regret at the error. Telegraphic Briefs. A letter of the late E. P. Pellett, a Republican, and Consul at Barranqui 11a, Colombia, was made public, in which the writer declares that the revolution in Panama was accomplished by the connivance of President Roosevelt. Secretary of State Hay made a campaign speech at Carnegie Hall, New York. i The Republican State Chairman of New Jersey claimed that State would 1 give 17,000 majority to Stokes for < Governor. PORT ARTHUR LULL ENDS Third General Attack Reported to Have Begun Last Monday and Been Still in Progress at Last Account^ Wednesday?Russians' Only Smokeless Magazine Exploded, Causing a Fire Which Spread Into the TownJapanese Gain Rihlung Mountain. A third general attack on Port Arthur is reported to have begun on October 24th, and to have been still in progress on the 26th. On the latter day the Russians' only smokeless powder magazine was exploded, the fire spreading to the town and raging all through the day, Russian trenches on tbo slope of Rihlung Mountain were taken by the Japanese. In the vicinity of the Shake river there have / been no developments of moment. Armies in Close Touch. Mukden, By Cable.?The attack by the Japanese on the Buddhist temple hill on October' 27th, led to sharp fighting. The Japanese artillery piayed on the position from early in the morning, rendering the trenches untenable, shells and shrapnel sweeping everything and demolishing all the shelters. Two machine guns with the battalion defending the hill were smashed and disabled, but the defendants carried off the remains of the guns when they were forced to retire. The Japanese infantry attack under cover of the bombardment was made in close order. There was desperate hand to hand fighting in the trenches, followed by a counter-attack' with the bayonet. The Japanese finally gained the hill, but were unable to hold it in the face of the deadly^Russian artillery fire. There has been a number of skirmishes along the whole front, but no development of any serious import ha3 yet appeared, though the armies are in the closest touch and a gener-. al engagement may be precipitated / at any time. At one point the trenches are only four hundred yards apart. ^ They are separated by a small ^ stream, which is the only water sup- ; ?ply in the neighborhood. By mutual consent there is no fir- N ing on the water carriers, who visit the stream with buckets. Several positions have already changed hands many times. It is related that in one village, which had been taken and retaken by the same men on both sides, Captain Polkanoff, on being driven out one day, left a note in the hut where he had passed the night, saying he would like to know the name of the Japanese offl- ^ ter who was in the habit of occupy- ij ing the hut in his absence. A little later Captain Polkanoff retook the village, and going through his old quarters, found the following note in perfect Russian: ? "I ara Captain Yamata. I would bo A greatly pleased to make Captain Polkanoff's acquaintance." There Is unusual qniet along the whole front. The Russians are in the habit of harassing the Japanese at night. Last night Russian scouts threw a hand grenade into a Japanese trench near Sinchinpu, causing great confusion. The Russian scouts also discovered that the Japanese are mov- < ~ ing many batteries to the front, though as yet all have been carelly masked. Will Not Be Removed. Vigo, Spain, By Cable?Inquiries here fail to obtain the slightest confirmation cf the report published in the Uni- ted States that ^Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has requested Emperor Nicholas to relieve him of his command. The * { Russian consul general here said to the ; Associated Press that he was not aware that there any question of replacing the admiral and that he did not believe such a proposition had ever been raised. It is believed the international investigation here of the North Sea incident has begun. The British cruiser Lancaster. which was here for some time yesterday, and departed in the evening , ! after her commander had conferred i with Vice Admiral Rojetvensky on board the Russian flagship Knaiz Souvaroff, returned today, and there was another conference between British and Russian naval comanders on board the flagship of the latter. Subsequently, the Lancaster sailed for Villagarfera, j, where it is supposed the British channel fleet has assembled. There are five British warships cruls ing off Vigo, evidently waccmng me Kussian vessels nere. The Spanish Foreign office has given out a statement to the effect that Russia has asked Spain's permission for the ships of Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron to remain in Vigo until the investigation of the North Sea affair shall have been concluded. Spain, according to the official statement, consulted with the representatives of the several powers, who gave their approval. The authorization, however, ap-^~ plies only to Russian vessels now at ^ A irgo. Gantemalan Ant No Failure. Houston, Texas, Special?Dr. B. T. Galloway has received a telegram from the Agricultural Department at Washington asking if it were true that he had given out an interview stating that rhe Guatemalian ants were a failure as loll weevil enemies. Dr. Galloway; promptly answered that the interview was not true; that Collins and Goll would go to Guatemala as originally intended and further study the ants in their native habita. Dr. Galloway has just returned from Victoria, where ho looked after the ants, and expressed himself as satisfied with the work now being done with them by Dr. Webber and Dr. Hunter. : f. ' A Japs Capture Guns. - ^ Tokio, By Cable.?A telegram received from Manchurian headquarters says: "On October 21 there was no change reported in the front of all our armies. "Further investigation shows the number of guns captured by our left army to have been 43, the left column taking 27 and the right column 16. The wagons, munitions, etc., which have been captured have not yet been counted. ^3 * i /Ck
