The Morrisville News and Citizen
says: "A strong argument in favor Of
good roads would be found, if one were
needed, in figures published by the
Agricultural Department at Washington.
1t estimates that it costs the farmers of
this country $95O,OOO,OO0 year to move
their products to the railway stations
Two-thirds of this amount, it is believed,
would be saved by the improvement Of
the country roads.
The Ludlow Tribune says by way Of
comment: In short, do the farmers of
Vermont want their share of this nine
hundred and fifty millions: That's the
practical side Of this good roads move

Comma to Vermont.

'Anothor New Yorker, E. A. Darling,
one of the proprietors of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, has decided to come to
Vermont to erect summer residence,
adding one to the increasing number of
out-of-the-state people who realize the
superior advantages of a summer in the
mountains of Vermont says the Barre
Daily Times. Already the hills of the
State, particularly in the Southern part,
are becoming dotted with the residences
of these people whom Nermonters are
pleased to welcome to their midst.
When they come they generally erect
fine residences and improve large tracts
of land which otherwise would lapse
into disuse or, at best, be only half taken
care of. The class of people too, who
are coming to make Vermont their
summer home are of the desirable sort,
and not of the butterfly variety, fitting
here and there, irresponsible and with
out restraint. They are the most sub
stantial people of the large cities, many
of whom coming in the first place simply
for a summer sojourn, eventually become
permanent residents of the state. That
class of people Vermonters are glad to
welcome to their state, within whose
borders are large tracts of land which
are waiting to be utilized. May there
be more to recognize the advantages
here"

Newspapers Show More Heart.

London, Oct. 27.-At 3 O'Clock :his
morning there is no sign as to when
Admiral Rojesvensky's report will be.
made public but if unofficial reports
should turn out to reflect the ad-
mirafs official report. it is evident that
the Russian officers made an eXtraor-
binary blunder in mistaking trawlers
for torpedo boats and firing on their
phantom foes. This astonishing expia-
nation is regarded here as not fitting
i'll with the state OF panic suggested
as having prevailed among the officers
Of the Baltic fleet; and in that 1t is
suggested, the Russian government
should find no difficulty in removing
and Furnishing the officers reponsible.
The newspapers this morning evlnce
more heat and impatience than hereto
fore at Russia's delay, which is con-
sidered absolutely indefensible in the
present circumstance.

NO WORD FROM I,OJEsyENsKy
Report or the North Sea Incident Has
Not Yet Been Received-Its Alb
sence is Becoming Serious Matter.

81. petersburg, october 26.-3:1O D. m.
An official Of the admiralty stated to
the Associated Press at 80 O'Clock THE
morning that no word had yet been
received from Vice Admiral Rojesven-
Sky. The official continued:
The delay in getting the Russian
version of the North Sea affair is prov
ing exceedingly embarrassing TO this
government. II is felt, that, in the
infiamed state of British public opinion
the inexplicable absence Of any official
report is becoming a most serious factor
and renders still more difficult an al,
ready delicate situation"
While the good faith of the Russian
government in its efforts TO probe the
AFFAIR is not questioned, 1t is evident
from renewed British inquiries at the
foreign office and admiralty on Wednes-
day that while no time limit for a re-
sponse to the British note has been
fixed, King Edwards government is
neither in humor nor in a position to
brooke unreasonable delay. 1t is real
lied here that each days delay will rem
der the temper Of the people of both
countries more uncertain. The hope is
expressed at the admiralty that the re-
port may be received today The possi-
billity of course remains that the infor-
nation of the Associated Press yester-
day afternoon may be correct that the
report is already in the hands in the
Emperor, but if SO the delay in trans
mitting it to the admiralty is inexpIic-
able, assurances having been extended
TO the British embassy that there
should not be the slightest delay in
communicating the report when it was
received.
One danger of complications discussed
here lies in the possibility that Great
Britain may deem it necessary to dis
patch warships to warn and protect
British trawlers off the Spanish coast
On the other hand, if the nature OF Ro-
jesvensky's report renders the recall OF
the Baltic squadron imperative, il will
weigh greatly in Japan's favor and
have a serious bearing on the future
course of the war in the far east

There is an accentuation of feeling in
Great Britain over the delay of the
Russian government in procuring from
the commander of the Baltic squadron
his version of the attack on the Hull
fishing fleet. Admiral Rojesvensky,
who is at Vigo, Spain. has, SO far as
the public is Informed. made no official
exclamation of the events of the night
of october 31st. but in an interview
with the Associated Press he has put
forward the statement that two tor
pedo boats. presumably japanese craft
appeared among his ships off Dogger

dered the commanding officer OF the
Spanish cruiser Estramadura TO notify
the colliers that they must obey The
port authorities. Eventually Rojesr-
vensky promised he would not-coal IN
Spanish waters, at the same time beg
ging the commander of the port to OBJ
tain the governments permission for
each warship to take on four hundred
tons OF coal with which to reach Tan
gier. Shortly afterwards three golfers
sailed for Tangier, but two remained
alongside the Russian warships.
During the afternoon Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, accompanied by the conf
manders of his battleships. visited the
military governor. the French consul,
and the commander of the port, re-
ceiying the usual honors.
As far as can be seen the crews OF
the battleships are very uneasy. Sen
tinelS are closely watching every
movement within the harbor. All four
OF the warships seem to be cleared 1or
action.
1t is rumored that the object of the
Spanish government in requesting the
Russians TO remain the shortest possi-
BILE time at Vigo is to prevent the pos
sibility of attack by japanese agents,
whose presence in the province of Gal
icia is suspected.

suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo
boats anG requested assistance, where
upon the battleship division advanced
and signalled to the unknown vessels
to leave or disclose their nationality.
The vessels refused to obey and ad-
Vanced among the Russian battleships.
suddenly a cannon shot was heard
from an unknown vessel. Then the ad-
miral formed in battle line and replied
to the fire, afterwards continuing his
voyage
Prince Keretelli added that the jan
anese had purchased such boats in
England.

EXPRESS GREAT REGRET.
An Interview With RojeStvensky Con-
cerning the North Sea Incident.

Vigo, Spain, Oct 26.-The Associate
Press has succeeded in obtaining an in
terview with Admiral Rojestvensky,
who expressed great regret over the
North sea incident. The admiral stated
that the unfortunate occurrence was
purely accidental. The weather on the
night in question was rather hazy.
About one a. m. two torpedo boats
which the Russians supposed were
Japanese craft. suddenly appeared be-
tween two divisions OF the squadron
and seemed to discharge torpedoes.
The Russians Immediately opened fire
They saw no fishermen and were not
aware that any damage had been done
Evidently, the admiral said, the fisher
men had shown no lights. The admi-
raj repeated that he greatly regretted
that any injury had been done fisher
men and added that he had no doubt
that the Russian government would
make ample compensation.
1t is learned that three Russian war
ships have anchored in Arosa bay. The
government has refused them, permis-
sion to coal in Spanish waters.
The Spanish warships Marques de
LaVictoria and Vasco Nunez de Balboa
are keeping watch along the coast
The authorities have ordered that all
fishing boats shall fly the national flag
