ANONYMOUS Letter Writers.

San Angeles prosperity is not
confined to the building of brick
store houses, pretty little cottages
and handsome brown stone man
sions nor to hank dividends and
ilourishng mercantile businesses.
The city has lots of labor EN-
ployed ut all the trades, the pro-
fessional men are doing their
share, and even the poor printer
man gets something to do now
and then.
In additions to the existence Of
satisfactory conditions in all
these lines there is new bust
ness, and yet one as old as Ana
Mas himself, nourishing like the
proverbial green bay tree in
San Angelo. 1t is that of the
anonymous letter writer. All
classes are affected. The anony.
nous letter writer is no respecter
of persons. He brings his bust
ness to bear upon high and low,
rich and poor, no matter ones
station or standing.
Quite a number of San Angelo
people have been the recipients of
letters, the writer's of which for
reasons best known to themselves
prefer to remain "unbeknownst."
Some of these epistles are SLAM
derous, some misunderstanding
while Others are totally harmless.
An example of the latter class
is furnished the Press this week
by Col. A. S. CAN'T, and its pub

bRITlsH-RUsso SITUATION.

In the absence of Admiral Rojest-
vensky's report no official account OF
the action of the Russian Pacific
squadron in firing on the Hull fishing
fleet is yet made public.
The British foreign Office has made
certain formal and categorical de,
mands upon Russia couched in Ian
guage which Is said to preclude any
diplomatic quibbling or delay and
while the situation Is tense the best
official opinion is that Russia will
make such ample official and pecuniary
reparation as will prevent any grave
international result.
The British public is described as
being much wrought over the occur
renee. but the official tone OF both gov
ernments is cordial and European cab
inets are inclined strongly TO the be-
liet that the incident will be satisfac-
torily adjusted.
The emperor of Russia has person
ally telegraphed King Edward, ex-
pressing his regret at the occurrence
and his sympathy with the families of
the killed fishermen. Ambassador
Benckendorff has made similar express
sions TO Lord Lansdowne.
Additional particulars of the attack
on the trawlers only serve to increase
the strangeness of the incident,

STILL WITHOUT INFORMATION.
Russian Admir- atty Awaiting Rojest-
venskys Report.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 26.-The ad-
miralty and foreign Office were be-
sieged all day with inquiries, CORE
spondents and diplomats, asking for
the Russian version of the trawler
affair, but the authorities have abso-
lutely nothing to offer. They declare
they are as much in the dark as the
public and even more anxious for
news. Inexplicable as it may seem
the Associated Press was positively
assured In the name of the minister of
marine himself at 4:30 p. IN. that no
report of the affair had yet reached
the admiralty, which has been tele-
graphing wildly to London, Cherbourg
and Vigo asking for an immediate re-
port. The foreign Office is greatly en-
barrassed in meeting the British repre-
sentations by lack of news. AS pos
sible explanation of the failure to re-
ceive a report the admiralty points out
that Rojestvensky's division of the
squadron did not stop at Cherbourg,
but proceeded direct to Vigo. Ii only
the cruiser division was involved in
the affair upon its arrival at Cherbourg
Rear Admiral Enquist, who commands
that division, may have forwarded his
report to Rojestyensky at Vigo instead
of to the admiralty here, although in
such an extraordinary case the Rus
sian regulations require an immediate
report to the admiralty as well as to
his superior officer in command of the
squadron.

GUILTY MUST Be PUNISHED
SPONSiBiLlTY BE FIXED FOR
NORTH SEA AFFAIR.

London, Oct. 26.-Tn the note dis
patched to st. Petersburg the British
government put forward certain def
mite demands in language which, 1t is
understood, leaves little opening for
any suggestion of a compromise. These
comprise apologies for the action OF
the Russian squadron in firing on the
British fishing feet in the North sea
SATURDAY llorning and full compensa.
Ton Tor the sufferers. 1t is further in
sisted that d searching inquiry shall
be instituted with all dispatch and un-
der conditions which will insure that
appropriate action shall follow the re-
suit of the investigation. In other
words that the responsibility shall be
tlxed and punishment meted out to the
Offenders whoever they may be.
That King Edward correctly inter
preced the feeling OF the nation in pub
llciy stigmatizing the affair as ''unwar-
rantable" was evidenced by the recep-
tion given him during the morning
whel he started for the race meeting
al Newmarket. A big crowd awaited
the king both at buckingham palace
and at the railroad station and the
heartiness of the cheering and the Wig
orous waving OF hats and handker-
chiefs, with occasional shouts OF Good
Old Teddy from the ultra-enthusiasts
made up remarkable demonstration
and afforded the king evident pleasure.

special precautions were adopted by
the police to guard him against any

According to the report an infrac-

story receives some credence 1t is de-
