Friday Was an EventfuI Day In the
British Metronolis.

London. oct. 3l.-Friday was an
eventful day in the metropolis. The
population. stirred by naring headlines
in the morning papers seemed con-
WINGED that war was inevitable. The
cabinet meeting. which was held at
noon, served TO increase rather than
allay anxiety. Throughout the country
there had spread a deep rooted. though
perfectly erroneous idea that Great
Britain had given Russia a time limit
in which 10 reply and Charley" Berse-

Amicable Understanding Arrived at
Between the Nations.
DETAILS BY BALF0UR
Il Will BE Referred to a Commission
Formed Under the Rules and
Regulations Of The Hague
Peace Conference.

London, Oct. 31.-Details OF the
agreement between Russia and Great
Britain upon a mode Of settlement of
the questions arising out of the firing
upon British travellers in the North sea
by Russian Second Pacific squadron
were supplied by Premier Balfour in a
speech delivered before the national
Union of Conservative Clubs at
Southampton. The ascertainment OF
the facts for submission to a commits
sion formed under the rules of The
Hague peace conference will be
through the coroner's inquest at Hull,
an investigation by the British board
Of trade and the examination of officers
of the Russian ships which fred upon
the fishermen. In his speech Mr.. Bal
four ridiculed the official explanation
of Admiral Rojestvensky. but praised
the spirit in which the Russian en-
peror and government had met the
crisis. In both Russia and Great Bril-
tain the prevailing feeling is one relief
that others is now no danger OF war
between the nations.

AWFUL EXPLOSION.
Il Occurred In a Coal Mine Fcrty Miles
West of Trinidad.


Trinidad. Colo. oct. 31-A terrific
explosion occur ed at No. 3 mine OF the
Rocky Mountain Fuel and Iron com
pany at Teroio. forty miles due west
of Trinidad. at 1880 o'clock Friday aft
ernoon. and the number Of dead is va
rlously placed at between thirty and
forty men. The number reported as
having gone into the mine in the morn
ing was seventeen miners and four
company men. In the afternoon many
more miners are known TO have gone
into the mine. and the exact number of
dead may never be known. as the mine
is burning, and in all likelihood the
bodies have been creamated.

lieved that at. least sixty men were

sion brought assistance from the ad-
jacent camps, and hundreds of men

parts Further Information.
London, Oct. 31.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle has published an interview with
Admiral RolestvCnsky at vigo Friday
which gives a few interesting state
ments not yet published. The admiral
is quoted as saying that when the
vessels OF the Russian squadron found
themselves surrounded by q fishing
fleet, the warships had 70 stop their
engines continually so as not to get
their screws tangled in the nets. The
warships frequently gave way TO the
trawlers Suddenly the cruiser Aurora
saw ahead two torepdO boats coming
toward the squadron at full speed. She
turned her searchllght on them and
then noticed two floating mines close
TO her. An order to fire on the torpe-
do boats W. Immediately given. with
the result that one OF them was sunk
and the other escaped and was lost
sight OF among the trawlers.
Admiral said there were two men in.
jured on his flagship. One, q priest
had hand shot of. Six shots fired
during the incident hit the Russian
vessels. The Aurora was hit and has
not yet been repaired.

HAS ANOTHER SAY.
Russian Admiral Said He Was Told
There Were Eight Enemy's Vessels.

Vigo, Spain, Oct. 31.-Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky said to an Associated
Press representative Saturday: ''Ru-
mors reached me that the japanese
would attack the squadron, and when
suddenly saw that night two torpedo
boats between our two divisions and
heard the noise of firing of torpedoes
doubted not that they were Japanese.
prince Keretelli. the officer on board
the battleship Emperor Alexander Ill,

rounded by eight torpedoboats or YES
sells carrying torpedo tubes. The Ara
dur signaled her danger and when our
battleship advanced we did not for one
moment suppose that the attacking
vessels could be fishermen"

The BRITISH
ARE PLEASED
Feel Confident That Russian Admir-
ais Statements
WILL NOT PREVAIL.
Assert Latter Can Only Make Good
His Case by Producing Vessel
He Claims Was Among the
Fishing Craft.

London. Oct. 3i.-Profound satisfac-
ton over the fact that an arrangement
has been reached and the entire GER
tainty that the result of the commission
of inquiry will be to discredit Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's statements anent
the presence of torpedoboats among
the North sea fishing fleet marked the
comments of London afternoon news
papers Saturday almost universally.
The admirars stop, 1t is pointed out,
has greatly this advantage: That 1t Is
capable of precise proof or disproof.
1.-The Russian admiral can only make
good his case by producing the vessel
whose presence he alleges was among
the trawlers," says the Westminster
Gazette. The feeling that the British
contention will be upheld pervades all
classes and disposes the public to calm
~ await the verdict.
Trading on the stock exchange OPEN
ed buoyantly Saturday and prices con-
siderably advanced all around.
The composition of the international
commission was the immediate subject
of the communications passing between
St. Petersburg and London Saturday.
II was suggested that 1t should be
comprised OF five admirals-French,
Russian and English-and two from
smaller powers. possibly Denmark and
Holland, TO be nominated by their re-
spective governments. No American
member has been suggested.
