Thought They Saw Torpedo Boats

ST PETERSBURG, Nov. IA
difference has developed between Great
Britain and Russia over the language
OF the article in the North sea con-
rention relative to the question of re-
sponsfbility. At the foreign Office il is
said that Russia does not desire to in
any way recede from the basis of the
agreement. but she proposes a modifi-
cation of the language submitted in the
England text. The admiralty, ii is
understood, contended all along that
the international commission should
confine its inquiry to the establish
ment of the question whether torpedo
boats were OFF the Dogger bank and
whether in any event the Russian ships
were justified in firing.
: Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's detailed
report shows that some shots from the
battleships hit the Russian protected
cruiser Aurora. one of the shells enter
ing the wardroom and wounding a
priest, who afterwards died at Tan
gier from the injuries. The Russian
admiralty contends that this is addi-
tional proof of the good faith of the
vessels which fired on what they be-
lieved to be torpedo boats, not having
seen either the fishing vessels or their
own ships of the cruiser division.
Lieut. OFT. one of the Russian wit
nesses. viii swear positively that he
saw flames rising out of four tunnels of
a low-lying ship. Lieut.. Ellis, another
Russian witness. who was in a turret
of the Russian battleship Alexander
Ill, declares that he is positive he saw
a torpedo boat destroyer. Capt. CIado.
also one of the witnesses, insisted that
he saw two torpedo boats and the
depositions OF the officers of the Rus

The steepest Railroad

When the Jungfrau railway is COM
pleted it will unquestionably be the
steepest railway in the world for its
grade is within 2 per cent of 45 de-
greeS.
The Jungfrau, one of the most beau
tiful mountains in Europe, is one OF
the chief peaks of the Bernese alps.
and rises far above the limits of per-
petual snow. For many years all ef-s
forts to render this virgin mountain
more accessible proved unavailing, un-
til the late Guyer- -Zeller, of Zurich,
solved the problem that had puzzled so
many engineers. In 1894 ne obtained
a concession extending over eighty
years from the Swiss federal council
for what is unquestionably one of the
most stupendous engineering feats
ever attempted.
The difficulty of the project was in
creased by the fact that the Eiger and
the Moenich had to be pierced before
the Jungfrau could be entered in order
to obtain the required grade. But in
August, 1896, all preliminary obstacles
had been surmounted, the line of the
railway had been decided upon and
rail laying had been begun. And in
September, 1898. the first section was
opened.
The starting point OF the railway is
at Scheidegg, on top of the Wengern
alp, which may be conveniently reach
ed by rail from Interlaken. From here
an electric ear takes you to the Mer
de Glace station, which has been just
completed. and is the present terminus
fof the road, 10,726 feet above sea level.
The trolley line runs first on open
ground, gradually ascending on the
slopes of the great snow-capped Eiger.
When the mountain side is reached
the line plunges into the rock at
grade of 90 per cent. Thus far only
four miles of the six-mile tunnel have
been completed, the length of the en-
tire foad. as projected, being eight
miles. The work of tunneling is slow
owing to the tenacious character of
the calcareous rock. At the present
rate of progress-two yards day-it

AN OBJECT LESSON

on the contrary they seem to prefer o

lobster is not altogether ignored.
The point OF all this is that vigorous

Advocates of More Indebted

Whenever the electors of Minneapolis
vote down a proposition to issue bonds an
application Is made to the legislature for a

to receive a sufficient number of votes at
the general election.
AT the recent election the voters refused

The plea made by those persons who in

that those who failed TO vote on the prop
