fleets madness. 1t must in fairness be
promised that they appear in journals
that are undisguisedly hostile to Russia.
The Cherbourg correspondent Of the
Daily Mail asserts that he went alongside
the Russian transport Katai, which was
taking water there, and handed to sailor
q telegram he had received announcing
what the Baltic feet had done
The sailor took the telegram aft. When
he returned he was followed by a superior
officer who shouted In French: "To whom
10 this telegram Addressed" The corre-
spondent replied; ME-" adding, "You see
IL says that the Baltic fleet sunk two English
fishing vessels
Il am glad to hear it," responded the
Russian, at whose side the commander OF
the Kitai was then standing.
The correspondent, thinking that he
had misunderstood, asked the officer to
repeat his remark. 80 much the better, v
shouted the officer, LET them all sink.
That's what we say
And" says the correspondent, from
the defiant look in his eyes could see that
he meant it,"
The correspondent later took Paris news
papers containing the details on board the
Russian torpedo boats. The officers all
said they had not fired a shot since they
left Possibly another division of the fleet
had. None of them expressed the, least
regret on learning of the affair.
EXCUSES IN ST. PETERSBURG.
The st. Petersburg correspondents Of
the Daily Mail and Telegraph indicate that
the incident is apparently regarded as Of
small consequence by the commanders Of
the Baltic fleet, since not single report
has been received from them on the subject,
although they have had abundant oppor-
tunities for telegraphing from British or
French ports. In some official quarters
In st. Petersburg there even seems an in
clination to justify the act.
A General who was present at the Foreign
Office W lille the Daily Mail correspondent
was making inquiries said that probably
Admiral Rojestvensky had some reason
for firing. Perhaps the vessels had disre-
garded his signals, and he assumed that
they were manned by Japanese, who were
trying to lay mines. How was it, he asked,
that the feet was not troubled by fishermen
in Danish or German waters2 Moreover
1t was impossible for $50 boats to be fishing
in one place. They must have had other
purposes.

RUSSIANS PROBABLY IN PANIC.
Most Charitable View I'm washington OF
the North Sea AFFAIR.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2t-While the State
Department cherishes the hope that early
amends by Russia will relieve the outraged
feelings OF Great Britain over the amazing
attack upon British fishing fleet by the
Russian Baltic squadron. il regards the
affair as deplorable in every aspect and full
of ugly possibilities.
After days consideration of the Incl
dent the view taken by the officials to-
night was more serious than when the news
was first received. There was such a
wantonness in the attack, it was maintained
for twenty minutes with such murderous
intent. and the victims were left with such
heartless disregard Of life and property,
that it is felt that the Russian Government
may be at a loss to give the satisfaction
which Great Britain may righteously expect
FISHING BOATS EASILY RECOGNIZED.
Officials at the State Department and
the Navy Department were free in their
comments upon the affair. They confessed
their inability to account for the mental
attitude Of the Russian commander and
the Captains of the several war vessels, in
view OF all the circumstances surrounding
the case. On its face the firing upon the
fishing boats was a piece of stupidity Of
which the commander of a modern raval
vessel should he incapable.
Assuming that the Russian Admiral and
his commanders were in their sober Senses
which some Of the officials here are inclined
TO doubt, they must surely have been ac-
quainted with the international regulations
governing the fishing fleets in the North
sea- These regulations were adopted in

woman a Champion Money Counter.

From Ererpbodp's Magazine.
Mrs villa A. Leonard has been an ex-
pert money counter for the United State
Treasury Department since 1852. For many
years she has been the fastest note counter
in the department. She has counted more
money than would pay of the national debt
Years ago when she was stationed In the
Bureau OF Printing and Engraving. she was
pointed out to visitors as one OF the features
Of the establishment. For more than forty
years an endless succession OF paper cur
renoy has passed through her hands, and al
though under the rules OF the Department
the slightest mistake IN counting is charged
that time Mrs Leonard has not lost a cent
from such a cause.
Thus Mrs. Leonard Is not only the fast
est but the most accurate counter and what
this statement implies can be realized when Il
Ia pointed out that Mrs. Leonard as a rule
does not count new money, but notes that
have grown old and worn from much use
all over the country, notes that have become
so frayed that they have been sent In TO be
exchanged for new ones.

LONDON. Oct. 24.-Lord Knollys, the

the Mayor OF Hull this afternoon:
The King commands me to say that he has
heard with profound sorrow Of the unwar-

against the North Sea fishing feet, and
asks you to express the deepest sympathy

"The greatest indignation preva lis here

According to authentic information that we
have received the Russian feet was visible
for some time before the fishermen were
fired upon.
THE lee line Of the Russian ships, 1t Is
believed, was composed Of golfers. not Of
warships. as at first supposed. They
steamed right through the fishing feet.
sWheh they had passed, the fishermen,
who were viewing the scene with interest
saw a signal flash from the leading ship OF
the port division. Thereupon the two lines
changed course and formed in one line so
as to bring the trawers on their starboard
quarter. Without the slightest warning
a broadside was then fired. after which
the feet steered to the southwark"

among the most popular young men
in ToLopah and have secured the
best orchestra in Tonopah and have
also arranged to put the floor OF the

Ore Shipments.

The ore shipments for this week
amounted to l406 tons made up as
follows: Tonopah mining company,
bulk 1913 tons, sacked ia tons; Mon

tension, 60 tons; Belmont, 1876 tons;
Goldfield: Florence lease, 166 tons;
January lease, Is tons; Jumbo, old
No. Z lease, 8 tons; new lease, AZ
tons; Richards lease, 8 tons; Comb
nation mine, So tons. 1t will be no
ticed that the Goldfeld shipments
amount to only 305 tons, due entirely
to inability on the part Of the ship
pers to obtain teams for hauling the
ore to Tonopah, and on this account
an enormous quantity Of ore is piled
on the dumps. The incoming freight
over the railroad continues to be very
heavy, having amounted to 6l9l tons
for November, an increase Of more
than twenty per cent over October.

There has been so much criticism
recently OF the Big Elk Gold mining
company OF Goldield by carping
critics who have hastily dubbed it a
wildcat" that a representative OF
the BONANZA, who was at Goldfeld
this week, devoted some considerable
time to Investigating the merits of
the company. W. L. Wilson of the
Rocky Mountain Securities company
of Denver, who purchased the claims
and organized the company, proved
satisfactorily that he was not the
author of the statement in the pros
pectus that Jumbo shares had sold
for $4,000 each and explained that
the writer of it made the error
through having seen it stated that
some shares in the Zinn lease on the
Jumbo mine had changed hands at
that figure. Apart from this the
facts are that the Big Elk Gold min.
ing company own two claims south.

Railroad Thieves.

For some time past the Tonopah
railroad has suffered many losses
through thefts at night in the rail-
road yards, which were principally
confined to bottles of whiskey, beer,
brandy, etc, but latterly the thieves
became bolder and stole a barrel OF
whiskey with some case goods which
required a wagon to remove them.
The company's night Waterman A.
L. Bird and Deputy Sheriff Jack
Hartigan have now arrested George
Davis a colored man who acted as
porter at the Butler saloon, and Ruth
Davis a colored woman, his wife, as
receivers of the goods who had a
hearing before Judge Lindsay and are
under $500 bonds to appear on Tues
day next. Warrants have also been
issued for the arrest of Bob Wood,
ring and j. Mahoney who are believed
to be the actual thieves and will
probably be apprehended in a few
days. Some important witnesses are
also bound owe to appear when the
case is heard.

SICKNESS AT GOLDFIELD.

There have been so many state
ments in the public press and on the
street Of great sickness and high
death rate at Goldfeld, that a repre-
sentative Of the BONANZA who was
in the camp this week took especial
care to enquire into this matter, ond
found that as usual the actual conidi-
ton of had been grossly exaggerated.
During the last week there was a
cold snap in the camp, the thermom-
eter dropping to very near zero and
some sickness ensued from severe
colds which in many instances de-
veloped into pneumonia and some Of
these cases proved fatal. In every
instance death was accelerated by
exposure, improper and insufficient
food and over indulgence 10 alcoho
making the victim an easy prey tC
disease. AS a matter Of fact the
health of the inhabitants who lead
proper lives is excellent, those whC
died would have died anywhere haC
they led same lives they did in Gold
