RUSSIAN PRESS SILENT.

St Petersburg, July 27.-The Rus sian press has been significantly si- lent for two days past regarding com plications over the acts of the Red sea cruisers. Not single word of comment is in this mornings news papers concerning the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander, and there is no doubt that the govern ment has requested the papers to re- frain from printing their views on the affair. The government depre- cates the provocative attitude of the British press and probably does not desire that the Russian papers shall add fuel to the flames.
 An imperial ukase has been issued placing seven merchantmen purchas- ed abroad during the last few months on the navy list, four of them as sec ond class cruisers These four have been rechristened Don, Ural, Terek and Kouban. The other three have been renamed Irtysh, Anadyr and Ar gun and are listed among the trans ports The former identity of these vessels is not revealed. There is req son to believe that the cruisers will be sent at once to the Red sea to re- place the volunteer fleet steamers, the var status of which is in dispute.
 The lack of press comment is note worthy. Even while the British are calling for the most energetic action against Russia some of the Russian papers calmly continue to dwell upon the advantages of Russo-British un- derstanding.
 The Russian government has not received through the American eIn- bassy Here any representations on the subject of the sinking of the Knight Commander or the capture of the Arabia or other vessels having American goods on board. Great Britain also has not yet made for maj protest, but there is reason to be- lieve that the general right of war ships to sink neutral vessels claimed to have central band on board is being discussed here and in London and the seriousness of such acts will be en- phasiZed in the presentation of the speciIic case of the Knight Commando CT. It may be that there will be con siderable delay on account of the lack of information upon which to make issue, as both the British crew and passengers of the Knight Commando CT. it s asserted here, are held as witnesses on board the vessels form ing the Vladivosrok squadron.

VEGETABLE FIDDLER
 SHOUTED TOO LOUD

David Albert, a peddler of vegeta- bles, was arrested in the south end this morning by Officer Donahue because he was shouting his wares in the street and thus violating city ordi- nance and also making himself nui- sance to the residence in the south end. Peddlers Of all kinds used to have the habit of exercising their lungs every day by yelling out their goods in the street and shouting at the top of their voices. But after several arrests had been made and heavy nnes were inflicted the yelling by peddlers practically stopped. But lately one or two peddlers have tried to revive the odious habit, but the police are deter mined to stop it.
