INQUIRY OPENED, TO-DAY.

Hull, Eng, Nov 15.-The inquiry which Great Britain conducts on her own behalf into the North sea incl dent opened today. Vice Admiral Bridge and Butler Aspinwall, an ad- miralty court lawyer, who were ap- pointed to conduct the inquiry, and whose report will form the basis of the British case before the interna- tional commission at Paris, sat at q large table surrounded by maps show. ing the Dogger bank and the North sea. In front was an array of coun- sel and government officials.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press learned at the outset that the board of trade solicitors who have been preparing the case have found no evidence to suggest the presence of torpedo boats among the fishing fleet. The inquiry will therefore merely be an amplification of the evidence at the inquest and it will be adjourned to London in the course of few days, the proceedings here being confined to a narrative of the shooting. The as- eessment of damages, which will be dealt with in London, cannot be com pleted for some time as many of the trawlers are still at sea- The finding of the court will be sent to the board of trade and will be submitted to the international commission. It is not likely that they will be published be- fore the commission commences its sessions, but with the exception of the amount of the damages it can scarcely add to what is already known, care ful examination of all the witnesses in private having substantiated in all essential details the story the fisher men originally told.
 The Russian government was not represented at to-day's hearing which created even locally barely any inter est.

Mukden, Nov 13, via Tientsin, Nov 15.--An unbroken cannonade of siege guns, throwing fifty or sixty shells hourly against the Japanese position in the region of Snakhe station, began early this morning and ended only at nightfall when more than half thou sand big contact shells had been thrown into the Japanese army's strongest position in the plain, for the purpose of demoraliZing the work of fortification at that point for the last four weeks.
 To-day's bombardment was the most serious attempt yet made by the Rus sians' large guns and it was made on account of the apparent determination of the Japanese to make Shakhe sta- tion an impregnable defense of the railway behind. Both sides have so dug themselves into the ground night and day that artillery fire as at Port Arthur is practically ineffective and the ammunition is nearly wholly wasted.
 Both sides recognizing this are re- sorting to the competition of big guns and regular field artillery is only occa- sionally engaged.
 The abuse of the Chinese imperial customs transit passes for merchandise and baggage into Manchuria via Sin mitin, thereby making recent traffic an abuse of contraband regulations and neutrality, has caused the Pekin au- thorities to refuse further passes. This has cut off large supplies of foreign food and other products and has raised prices.
 A reign of mercantile lawIessness exists, but is controlled by the care of the Russian authorities in their trans actions to keep prices and internaj conditions normal.
 The distress of the natives has so iu- creased as to render the previous in- convenience and loss of profits. caused by the extinction of foreign trade and Ihe total annulling of communication Defween the north and south of Man chur1a insignificant.
 The native officers here and also Niceroy Yuanshakai at Tientsin are working in harmony to relieve dis tress and are also working with the foreign aid societies and feeding 10000 refugees daily at Mukden.
 Owing to obstacles in the way of fiI- ing and proving claims for damages by the Russian forces. most deserving refugees have not received compensa- tfon in General Kuropatkin's procia- nation. Even the weaHhiest farmers and gentry are eating inadequate char fly gruel from the public Kitchens.
 The chief sales of the largest shops consist of few foreign commodities sold to the soldiers, such as timed milk, tobacco and candles Conserva- tive Chinese have prevented lawless- ness or anything resembling popular feeling, and conditions are entirely un- like what they were in Chi Ii province during foreign occupation at the time of the Boxer trouble.
 The epithet Foreign deviI' is hard ly ever heard in the streets, notwitfl- standing the present warning of two superior powers in neutral country.

who applied. One day a rather old
man, with every appearance Of belong
ing to the species hobo, called and
asked for aid. He was given small
sum of money and, evidently thinking
he had struck soft spot, returned
the following day and from then on
went back every few days until final
ly, on what proved to be his last visit,
the president came out while he was
talking to a member of the household
and learning the mans errand. enter
ed into conversation with him.
The man stated, in reply to the pres
idcnt's question, that he was a nat
uraliZed American citizen, but was
born in Switzerland. The president
asked if he had ever been in Berne, and
he said he had lived there. The prcsi-
dent then asked if he had ever seen
the bears. This question rather stump
ed the old man, and he stammered
that he could not understand. The
president merely smiled and passed on.
Now. as every one who has any
knowledge of Switzerland knows, the
