STILL MYSTERY.
No Report Vet Received from Admiral
Rojestvensky.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 26-Nice Ad-
miral Rojestvenskys reasons for
firing on the British fishing fleet
remain as great a mystery as ever.
Again at midnight the admiralty an
nounced that the admirars report had
not been received. Meantime, without
waiting the Russian version of the af-
fair. Emperor Nicholas, through AM
bassador Hardinge. has sent to King
Edward and the British government a
message conveying an expression OF
the profoundest regret for the unfor-
tunate affair, coupled with assurances
that the families of the victims should
receive the fullest reparatiOn.
The British government also shows
moderation in the note which Sir
Charles Hardinge presented to Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff this afternoon.
While it awaits explanation for an act
which it characterzes in strong Ian
guage as Unjustiliable deliberate and
inhuman. it makes no threats. and fix
es no time limit for response and con-
tainS no demands, the note specifically
stating that Greata Britian's demands
are reserved pending receipt of an ex-
planatiOn.
The willingness Of Great Britain to
await the Russian explanation before
formulating demands shows considera-
ton for the position in which Russia
has been placed by deplorable blund-
er.
At the same time this consideration
has an ominous ring about it, only
serving to emphasize the gravity OF the
situation. the language of the note ad-
mitting of no doubt that when the oe-
mands are ultimately presented. Great
Britain intends to insist upon fuli COM
pliance with them. From the diplomat
ic standpoint the very fact fthat Great
Britain has not shown her mana
strengthens her position.
What the nature Of the denlanos VIII
be must be necessarily a matter or
speculation until Admiral RoJestven-
sky's report arrives, but if the import
ant allegation IN the the note is estab-
lished namely, that the squadron act
rallv changed forma ation before open.

Alabama Coal Output Increased

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 27.-An esti-
mate is made that the coal production
of the present year in Alabama will
amount to about 400, 600 tons, against
11.700,753 tons during the year 1906. 1t

strike of the union miners in jefferson
county, the production in this county
will be as heavy as it was last year. if
not heavier. The Pratt Coal Company.
with non-union mines in the western
part of Jefferson county, will produce

of the committee on rules and an OPP

THE A CAPITOL.

ONE of the most troublesome feat
ures presented in the coming vote on
the permanent location of the site of
the Capital of Wyoming is that nf get
ting the people to vote on the matter.
The voting for the capital must be
done with a separate mark from the
one voting for the candidates After
you have placed your *" at the
head of the republican ticket, don't
stop but vote for the location of
the capital before casting your bal.
lot.
Every voter is urged to not over
look this matter. 1t is right and just
that the site for the location of the
capitol should be decided and not be
allowed to hang fire any longer
There are four candidates in the field
Cheyenne, Casper, Lander and Rock
Springs
Whether it would be policy to move
the capital from Cheyenne to any of
the above places is "A question for the
voters to decide aftyr mature consid-
Grafton.
The main thing is to get them to
decide.
To move the capitol from Chey-
ehne means the saddling of the state
with an extra debt of we S40O,0OO
which in itself is an item for consider
alton. Cheyenne is the most accessible
in the matter of railroads and is cert
ainly entitled to much consideration
on that score. Casper is very little
better situated than Cheyenne as far
as the center of the state is concerned
and is not in it on the railroad ques-
ton.
Rock Springs is the most God for
saken looking town in Wyoming with
no water.
Lander is IA beautiful little place,
low altitude and has ii number of re
sources and other things being equal
would make IA formidable rival for
Cheyenne, being centrally located.
or course i'll the event of the capitol
being located there a railroad would
DE built and would of course benefit
this section but is it wise in the face Of
development of the diifernt sections
to practically place Cheyenne on the
list of has beens, saddle the state with

credit for the irrigation act is the talk
of the arid west. Never in the history
of American politics has such.a brazen
attempt to steal an important piece
of Legislation been perpetrated.
Owing to the fact that Wyoming de
has been unusually active in
claiming this legislation, and to the
further fact that Wyoming statemen
we're at the head of the movement for
the passage of the law, The R.pnb.
lican has taken special pains to get
at the exact facts.
In the closing hours of the 56th
congress, Senator Warren of Wyoming
attempted to secure amendment to
the river and harbor bill in the in
terest o.. irrigation. Upon these amend
ments Senator Thomas Carter of
Montana took the floor and talked the
river and harbor bill to death. the
men of the east preferring to sacrifice
their interest in that bill rather than
