B~ENKENDORFF IN DANGER.
Russian Ambassador Barely Escapes
Assault i'm LOndOn-Tbe Embassy
Under Guard of POlice-ThiS In
cident May Add to the Delicacy of
the Situation.

London, October 24.-Count Ben
kendorff, the Russian ambassador, re-
turned TO London tonight from cell
brating his silver wedding with his
wife's relatives in Silesia and barely
escaped assault from a crowd at the
Victoria station which followed him
almost into the embassy. Fortunate
ly for the issue of peace or war, moth
ing resulted; yet throughout the
night a special force of police was
compelled to guard the Russian en-
bassy.
Count Benkendorff has been always
regarded in official circles here as a
friend of peace. There is no doubt
hat Count Renkendorff was deeply
hurt by tonight's demonstration. At
ter escaping from the hostile crowd
that met him at the station he drove
a a gallop to the embassy. Half a
dozen dowdies followed, but the am
ibaSsadOr arrived unframed. His
noisy encountered q Gordon

patched to guard the embassy. After
singing Rule Britannica"the disturb
ers dispersed, no arrests being made;

embassy as IL it were a British fort
ress. With such vigilence did they
carry out their task that when Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky, a cousin Of the
new Russian minister of the interior
and second secretary of the embassy
arrived, he had hard work getting in.
Count Bendendorff nae telephon-
ed him to come to the embassy to
write a long cipher message to st.
Petersburg describing the nights hos
tile demonstration. In reply to a re-
quest for some statement to The AS
sociated Press, the ambassador Gent
word that he could say nothing, but
it was gathered that he had emf a
dispatch to St. Petersburg, which may
add to the existing delicacy of the
situation.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Official news
of the action of the Russian fleet in

added that great excitement prevailed
there.

New York, October PA statement
was given out today by the Democratic
national committee after a consulta-
ton between Thomas Taggart, chair
man; William F. Sheehan, chairman of
the executive committee, and Delaney
Nicoll chairman for the East. 1t says:
We have made no formal statement
concerning the political situation be-
fore this time, because the material
upon which alone the correct judgment
could be formed was not at hand.
Our efforts during the past three
months have been devoted to the task
OF organizing and ~harmonizing the
party in the states hitherto considered
doubtful by eason Of former dissen-
tons. That work is now finished, and
IL Is possible for the first time 10
re2cI a conclusion based upon a syste-
matte canvass, which can never be sat-
isfactorily made until after organiZa-
ton is completed n the organization
has well progressed. In every state and
in all sections, Democrats have buried
their differences and are working mar
m~on'ously and enthusiastically for the
ticket. Our canvass shows that scarce
~ anywhere is there a trace OF the dis
so1tions which for the past eight years
has ~unhappily divided the parry. IN
the States of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, De.a-
ware, West Virginia and in many OF
the Western states our organization is
more complete and effective than ever
before in the history Of the party. Can
didates for Governor who stand for the
very highest type Of citizenship and
represent popular local Democratic is
sues in all these doubtful States are
greatly aiding the national ticket by
their energetic campaign.
"Our canvass shows hat we shall
certainly carry by good majorities the
States Of New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Maryland, Delaware, West
Virginia and Indiana, and that in addi-
ton to those electoral votes we shall
have the majority, if not all, Of the
electoral votes of the Rocky Mountain
States. 1t is impossible at this juno
ture to predict the outcome in Wiscon-
sin.
Illinois must also be classed in the
doubtful column, for although at this
moment our canvass there is imperfect,
It is sufficiently advanced TO indicate
an unmistakable Republican detection"

REGRET IN ST. PETERSBURG.
1t is Recognized and Deplored that
a Horrible Blundcr Has Seen Made.
The Russian Government Will Vol
UNFAIRLY Offer the Fullest Repara-
ton

St. Petersburg, October 24.-Midnight.
No official or unofficial Russian expla-
nation of the unfortunate affair off
Dogger Bank is forthcoming up to this
time, and the world must wait until
tomorrow to hear Vice Admiral Ro-
j~envensky's weston Of the firing upon
the British fishermen. Rojesvensky has
communicated direct to the Emperor,
but at 11:30 o'clock tonight the admiral
ty announced that it had net yet re-
ceived a report. At the same hour the
foreign office issued a statement g
pressing the regrets of the government
for the deplorable incident, but explain
ing that no formal action is possible
until Admiral Rojestvensky's official
report of the affair has been received.
While no formal action has been
taken the deepest regret is expressed
in all quarters, and the purpose CT the
government to make amends if Rojes-
| vensky shall be found to have been in
fault has been proclaimed in every gov
eminent in the department.
Emperor Nicholas himself vas great
iy aggrieved when he heard the news
while he was inspecting the cruiser CleS
at Cronstadt this afternoon and For
eign minister Lamsdorf expressed to
Ambassador Harding his deepest per
sonal regrets. The Russian embassy at
London has also been directed 20 convey
similar expressions to the government
Of Great Britain. 1t is felt that this
is all that can possibly be done, pen

sky's statement
That a horrible blunder has been com>

upon innocent fishermen. 1t is felt that
~Rojesvensky is too good & man and
officer to be summarily condemnai. II
is agreed that he is entitled TO a hear
ing, but even the admiralty regretfully
admits that it is at a loss to under
stand what explanation could justify
such an apparently cold blooded act as
the affair is made to appear by foreign
reports. 1t developed during the day
that the admiralty had strong reason
