boat. some distance away from it, and
fastened to the hull just below the wa
terline. AS the edges, only are presented
to the water when the edges are in mo-

%sistance. The boat can only be rocked
with difficulty, however, owing to the
Inertia of the volume Of water between

a of the failure of Mr.. Hackett to

BALTIC FLEET HAS SAILED.
Its Destination is Said to Be the Far
East.

kfS DESTINATION is Sutu ~ DC Inv N"A
East.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 1.-THE depar-
ture Of the Baltic feet for the far east
is officially ~announced.
Admiral Birileff, commander OF the
naval forces at Cronstadt, will accom-
pany the fleet as far as Libau, from
which port this modern armada OF al
most 40 pennants will sail Immediately
for the orient.
The admiralty does not state how
long Admiral R~ojestvensky will stop
at Libau, but it is understood that it
will be only for a few days.
The plan Of the cruise has not been
divulged, but it has been carefully
mapped out. Golfers accompany the
feet for the purpose of supplying the
torpedo boats and torpeo boat destroy
ers whose steaming radius is small. 9th
err GOLFERS have already sailed or are
awaiting orders at foreign ports to meet
the squadron on the day. All the ves-
sells are equipped with apparatus for
coaling at sea.
The general opinion is that the ves'
sells will go by way of Suez, but some
rumors say that the cape route will be
taken.
The decision of the admiralty to
send out the fleet in the face of existing
situation in the far east IS evidence of
the temper of the government to prose-
cute the wal to a finish.
1t is understood that there was con-
siderable divergence of expert opinion
on the question of delaying the sailing
of the fleet until the spring, but the en-
peror turned the scale in favor of i'm
mediate departure.
In this connection there are other
war moves. Mobilization in southern
Russia was announced Sunday, and in
addition practically all the reserve of
fcers Of the navy have been called out.
The emperor will leave about Sep

ing of an additional 100000 men to the
far east.
The very brief report from Gen. Ku-
ropatkin, which was given out Sunday,
constitutes the latest news from the
front. The place at which the dispatch
was filed is not indicated but the re-
port seems to show an almost entire
suspension Of active operations on both
sides.
