Nothing Heard at St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, October "A, ' a. m.-Noth- ing has been heard here as yet regard ing the reported firing on the British trawlers by the Russian Pacific fleet
 The last news of the fleet was a brief notice published stating that they had passed Dover going south.
 The only conceivable explanation of such story Is the possibility that some of the vessels may have been at target practice, though this is not considered likely.

 that the cost of living has increased about r per cent in Boston within the last year. Coal, for which the trust exacted $5 .5O a ton last year, costs $5.75 this. Meats which cost IS cents pound, cost 9 cents now. Flour sells for $6.60, while it brought only s6 at this time last year. These are the typical figures. They represent the whole situation. Even the report of the Massachusetts bureau of statistics of labor does not maintain that the average wages have increased as much.
 On tho other hand this bureau has re- gently Issued a report entitled, "The Causes of High Prices" in which 1t Is &C., knowledged that the cost of living has in- creased enormously. This report, however, devotes the most of It's attention to pub fishing explanations given by representa- tives of different industries as to the causes of these increases in the prices of the necessaries of life.
 Six hundred and sixty-four inquiries were mailed to business men selected at random. The replies numbered 151, or 22 "A per cent of the whole number sent out. It Is interesting to note that of those re- plying. IT ascribed the great increase to combinations of capital and evils incl dent thereto. After attempting to explain the increases in cost which must be paid continually by the man of fixed income and by the man of limited wages, this re- port philosophzes and attempts to pail late the condition In the following lan- guage:
 ''The rich man has always found fault with the high taxes, but eventually pays them Higher prices are the poor mans taxes. Like the rich man he can find fault with existing conditions and the lawmakers whom he holds responsible for hut tba rlo i,, he msut pay. Scarcity will raise some prices. combinations will advance others; over-production, or under-consumption which is the same thing, will bring down prices on many articles Industrial attri- ton will finally regulate the wage ques- tion, and then prices, wages and the cost of production will reach a normal stan dard once more-and this normal stan dard will give a just return to all who make, sell, distribute, or use the manifold products of industry"
 Men Out of Work.
 Governor John L. Bates, the republican chief executive of the state, realizing the tide of indignation which is sweeping over the state, made 0 speech a few days ago In which he sought to prove that Massa- chusetts was enjoying tremendous pros- perity. he next day it was disclosed that there was a larger number of men out of work In Boston than had been the case for twelve months previous.
 The 60,000 names, thousands of them republicans, which were signed to Henry M. Whitney's demand for reciprocity with Canada, tells the story of the feeling in Massachusetts. The people are deter mined that the tariff-fed trusts shall no longer control the situation. The people demand tariff reform. They repudiate the stand pat'' creed

Long, and he was received WAtA WdiAu dpplduSe. ne uellf6itN d NSlJ great political sermon which evoked the most pronounced enthusiasm. Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson followed Con- gressman Bankhead, and the cheers which greeted the young statesman gave evidence that he has lost none of his srstwhile popularity in this vicinity. It was particularly noticeable the way in which Captain Hobson and his former opponent, Colonel Bankhead, stood up in the room where the last time they were there together anu arraigned each other so bitterly. making such earnest appeals for the support of the democratic party The speaking was concluded when Col Thomas l.. Sowell of Montgomery had finished one of his masterly orations combining wit and wisdom The speeches were interspersed with music by the band, and when they played "Dixie' tho audience went wild with yells anc cheers. Quite a number of Confederate veterans were in the audience in uni forms.

Delightful Day Trip on the New Hamp-
 shire.
 After all there is nothing like good, old Long Island sound for bracer that stands by a man and makes him more of man. Mountains are right in their places, but they keep you at a distance; the farm Is well enough for a vacation, may be, but it is apt to make you lazy; the ocear-well, we're not saying much against the ocean all though 1t does make most of us death- ly sick, and it costs a lot to get any where. But the sound-there you have 1t right at your door, and for just $1 at that. No preparations necessary. Just take the steamer New Hampshire at Belle dock, New Haven, and there you are for whole day. Salt air, ocean breezes, good music, good meal service, lchanging panorama of land sky, and water. What more can a man wish for in one day for one dollar?
