Russian Admiralty Pleased.

The mystery of the trawler affair, instead
of being cleared up by Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's report. today appears to be
deeper than ever. The Russian admiraPs
explanation is hailed with the greatest
satisfaction at the admiralty and elsewhere,
but it is felt that the incident has now
been raised between Russian and Great
Britain and that the incident has entered
upon an even more delicate stage. Public
sentiment in both countries doubtless will
demand the most searching investigation
to establish facts, and probably neither
nation will be willing to accept the result
of an ex parte inquiry by the other The
outcome probably will be a mixed tribunal
of some sort. This at least is the suggeS-
ton of some OF the cooler men here. as it
is felt that only thus could a repetition of
the Maine inquiry be avoided.

The Russian naval general stair at st.
Petersburg publishes the following two dis
patches from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky.
| The first dispatch reads:
1.-The North sea incident was caused by
two torpedo boats advancing to attack
without the lights, under cover of darkness,
| against the vessel leading the detachment.
| When the detachment turned on it's search
| lights and opened fire the presence of sew
eral small steamboats, resembling steam
| fishing boats was discovered. The detach-
ment endeavored to spare these, and ceased
firing as soon as the torpedo boats were out
OF sight.
THE English press is indignant because
torpedo boat left by the detachment on
the spot until morning did not aid the
victims. Now. there was not a single tor
pedo boat near the detachment and none
was left behind. Consequently the vessel
remaining near the small steamboats, was
that torpedo boat which was not sunk but
only damaged. The detachment did not aid
the little steamboats, because we suspected
them of completely on account of their OBJ
stinately cutting into the order of the posi-
tons of our vessels. Several of them show
ed no lights and others were only very
late
Saw Foreign Torpedo Boats.
The second dispatch follows:
Having met several hundred fishing
boats the squadron showed them every
consideration except when they, in COM
pany with foreign torpedo boats, of which
one disappeared, while the other, according
to the fishers own evidence, remained
among them until morning. They supposed
| it a Russian and were indignant be-
cause it did not aid the victims; but it was
foreign and remained until morning, seek
| ing the other torpedo boat, its consort,
| either to repair damage through fear of
betraying itself to those who were not it's

| fishermen imprudently dragged into the

| the unfortunate victims of circumstances
under which no warship, even in time of
| deep peace, could have acted otherwise.

ONpA OrOu in Calculnflnua.

A drop from 304 sure Republican electors to 1S6 Is rather violent one and 1t would not be fair to say that the Republicans regard Illinois as in the doubtful column yet.
 Secretary Cortelyou and the Presi- dent do not believe for a minute that Illinois is doubtful. but they are not more csnfident than President Harrison in 1892 that Illinois would go for the Republican ticket. Yet Cleveland car ried 1t.
 Senator Fairbanks when asked what effect the action of Judge Parker would have on the vote of Indiana, said at Oyster Bay that it would make no diff ference, and he would not listen to the suggestion that the Hoosier State Is doubtful. But nevertheless Senator Fairbanks has gone home to make the hardest sort of struggle for Mir. Roosevelt and himself
 No matter what the Roosevelt mana gers say about the result in Illinois, Indiana, New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey and connecticut being certain for them they propose to proceed just as If all five States were trembling in the balance. They are very willing that the Republicans should be scared. They propose to use in the widest man. ner the fact that while Judge Parker has pledged himself to maintain the gold standard Hill was beaten in the Committee on Resolutions at St. Louis ny d NOtc Ol tWtHty-nVe tO seventeen when he moved to insert the word gold.
 Scarcity of Funds.
 With this statement oft repeated they will seek to frighten Wall Street. and they hope to be able to raise some money. If they do not the Republican campaigners will be without funds from the very beginning of the can vass.
 They admitted yesterday that Judge Parker had caused such a change of feeling that they were facing an almost hopeless task in rasing money for the campaign. They also admitted that the swing was very strong for Judge Parker all over the country, and that instead of being handicapped from the Start by a feeling of discourage ment. the Democrats everywhere were feeling much more hopeful than they were in July 1892. The Republicans hope that the hero worship which is being showered on Judge Parker will spend itself in a short time. but they are in the meantime getting ready to begin work at least three weeks earlier than in any campaign except that of 1896, when Senator Hanna was busy before the Convention adjourned
 Word has been sent out to more than dozen different sections for canvasses of voters, with view of testing the feeling of the public. and William L. Ward has now In his possession copies of several complete polls which he has had made in Westchester County These he will lay before Chairman Cortelyou today Other polls from other sections of New York and from other States are eagerly awaited

 Senator w. J. Stone tonight gave out the following statement concerning the nomination of Alton B. Parker an the famous Parker telegram: My first impression was that the whole thing Was prearranged. It hal a sinister appearance and l felt that

 since the convention adjourned however. I have been advised of things that satisfy me that Judge Parker act

 he sent a peremptory telegram to Gov ernor Sheehan demanding that his views be made known to the conven- tion. That was a splendid and manly act.
 Whether one may agree with Judge Parker in all things or not, all must concede that he Is made of the stun that commands universal respect and confidence. He was unwilling to be- come the beneficiary of an evasion a concealment or a subterfuge. Parker came out of the convention a bigger
 man than when he went into 1t. not alone because he revealed to the coun- alone because he was nominated. but still more because he revealed to the
 country that he possesses those quail
 ties that fit him for a capable leader ship.

Republicans Frightened by Swing to
 Democratic Candidate.
 New York Herald.
 Uneasiness over the political outlook is being displayed by the Republicans: It is the first scare they have had, and 1t Is a big one.
 President Roosevelt and his cam paign managers admit the changed conditions existing in the national cam paign since Saturday, when Judge Par to the Democratic Convention at St. Louis, and the conferences at Oyster Bay between the President Senator Fairbanks George B. Cortelyou, chair man of the National Committee. and others of prominence during the last few days are a frank recognition of the probability that instead of having a walk over they may have desperate fight.
 Senator Fairbanks is to have com plete charge of his campaign in India na. and he hurried home yesterday for the purpose of giving the personal at- tention which Is required by these changed conditions. MT. Cortelyou also left oyster Bay and came to this city where a meeting had ben arranged be- tween himself Governor B. B. Odell. Jr.; William Barnes, chairman of the Republican State Executive Commit of the National Committee for this State. There will be more confer ences between Governor Odell and his lieutenants and MT. Cortelyou.
 Conference About New York.
 It will interest many to know that there had been a plan that MT. Cor telyou should not consult with Gov ernor Odell about this State for at least a month yet. Mir. Cortelyou felt that the Governor was amply able to handle conditions here and he did not want to appear anxious about the State. The President had been feeling really con- fident of carrying New York. but Judge Parker's action has given the Eastern Democrats such encouragement that the Republicans are going to take noth- ing for granted, and both Governor Odell and MT. Cortelyou are anxious to get together.
 Governor Odell has already gone to work on his New York task which Is to carry the State not only for the national ticket. but for an organization candidate for Governor. The Republi- can leaders make no secret of their fear that since Judge Parker took the bit in his teeth 1t may be impossible to save even the Legislature out of the wreck that is predicted for the State machine in November.
 The Governor yesterday began mak- ing plans for his demands on the vari- ous county leaders In the State He

The Governor has made an estimate by election districts of the Republican vote which each much pro- duce in order to elect a Republican Governor and give the electoral vote to Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
 There has been an entirely new align ment of the States since Judge Parker leaped to the front as a popular and positive figure. This was discussed at length during the conference which the President had at Sagamore Hill.
 Confidence Departs.
 After the Democrats left gold out of the platform the Republican leaders felt confident that they could safely count on 304 votes in the Electoral College. There are 476 members of the Electoral College. and the candi- date that wins must have at least 239. The Republicans conceded to their op- ponents who had lodged the question of sound money only the solid South They coolly appropriated all the rest, towit: California. Colorado, Connecu- cut, Delaware. Idaho. Indiana. Illinois, Iowa. Kansas. Maine. Massachusetts,
  ka, Nevada New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio. Oregon. Penn sylvania. Rhode Island. South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wyom- ing. Washington and West Virginia. These States would give the Republ cans majority in the Electoral Col lege of 65
 But now Democratic courage takes the place of despair in several of the States which the Republicans had ap- propriated. and there is to be a fight all along the line The President Is nightly intereste: in the effect of the gold stand of Judge Parker in the States of New York, New Jersey Con- | necticut. Indiana and Illinois. He Is also interested in the effect of the nomination of Henry c. Davis in West Virginia. Some of the best informed campaigners on the Republican side frankly admit that in the last four days about half a dozen important States have become entitled to places in the doubtful column, and the Presi- dent has been told so.

 Judge Parker wants peace in every Democratic camp in the country. He wants the hatchet buried deep, that there may be no influences in Novem- Der to cause apathy in the election. MT. Sheehan will inform Mir. Murphy that neither David B. Hill, August Bel mont nor any other man will control exclusively the Federal patronage of the Empire State should Judge Parke become the nations Chief Executive; that he will recognize Democrats upon their merit, and not because they for merly were allied to this or that fac tion of the party.

 The influence of General Weaver is regarded by the Parker managers as of considerable importance, not because of any prospect for Iowa, but because of its effect on the former Populists in the Eastern States. It Is known that last winter the Parker managers approach ed General Weaver and sought his ap- proval of their candidate. In fact, General Weaver was quoted in an in terview at that time as being for Par ker for President. He gave the New York Judge unqualified approval. La ment at the time of his conference in New York City with Towne, Hearst Pettigrew and otherss when Bryan re- turned from Europe. At St. Louis 1t Is claimed that the Parker managers tried to get General Weaver's son-in- law, Harry c. Evans of this city, to stand as a candidate for Secretary of the National Committee. This was re- garded as shrewd move to gain the favor of General Weaver and his i'm mediate friends in Iowa.
 1t is true that Weaver, on the floor of the convention, ridiculed Parker and his telegram to the convention. but be- fore he left St Louis an understandings was reached and the General will be found supporting the ticket.

Jail Breaking Attempt Thwarted.

An attempt at wholesale jail break
ng was thwarted by Jailer G. B. Per-
kins in Lake Charles Sunday. The
escape was to have come through the
agency of lOosened bars, cut through
by means of saw made out of needles
packed securely in a groove made of
piece of brOOmstick about SIX inches
long, with the points exposed. A
United States liquor revenue law, VIC
lator was the author of the plan. The
needles were secured by the wife of
another prisoner, Louis Garcia, who
was in Jail, charged with stealing and
arson. This woman brought the need
les to the jail when she visited the
place.
The scheme was brought to light
when iJailer Perkins ordered the
cleaning of an unused cell. The pris-
OnerS with the needle saw became al
armed at the operation and threw
their stock, consisting of seventeen
packages of needles, out of the rear
window. They were observed and the
scheme given away after the prisoners
had been saving since July IS.
