Sent Long Note to Rus

Fishing Boats-PeopIe
Demand Reparation
Note Is Said to Contain
Significant Announce.
ment That Situation
Brooks No Delay

London. Oct 25.-Great Britain sent
q long and urgent note to the Russian
government officially detailing the cir
cumstances Of the amazing and unex-
planned attack by the Russian second
Pacific squadron during the night OF
October 81 on British fishing boats in
the North Sea. The text OF the note
has not been given cut. but II is OH.
cially stated from the foreign office
that il contains the significant an
nounccmont that "the situation is one
which. in the opinion Of his majestys
government does not brook delay"
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon-
siratlve AS usual, tho lingo element
demands war. and even in official
quarters some go so far as TO say
that il may be necessary TO stop the
Pacific feet pend.ng settlement Of the
whole affair. though this extreme
measure, it is believed, win not be
necessary. Everywhere there Is evil
dencc Of the very positive opinion that
this is no time for the usual diplo-
matte dilly-dallying. that there must
be no delay and no limit set by Russia
10 her apology or the extent OF com
ponsaticn for sufferers by what King
Edward himself terms "the unwar-
rantable action" OF the Baltic squad
ron commanders.
The text OF the king's message Of
oympathy to the mayor OF Hull was
as follows
"E'rom Francis Knoilys:
"To His Worship, the Mayor OF
Hull-The king commands me 20 say
that he has heard with profound sor.
row Of the unwarrantable action which
has been committed against the North
Sea fishing fleet. and asks you to OK
press the deepest sympathy of the
queen and his majesty with the fami-
lies of those who have suffered from
this most lancntable occurrence.
(signod) "KNOLLYS."
The deep resentment of the whole
British public. however, Is reflected by
the incident at the Victoria station on
the arrival OF Count Benckondorf'
from the Continent A crowd gathered
md hooted him and attempted 20
break the windows Of his carriage.
There is no attempt anywhere among
men Of responsibility to magnify the
occurrence into a deliberate act Of
war: but in view of the present in

The Way They Kept Laundry Lists
In the OIden Days.

The washing tally. dating back to
the times Of Charles l., was formed Of
q piece of beech wood five and a half
inches long, four and a half inches
wide and half an inch thick and COW
cred with linen at the back and sides
In front the names of the different ar
ticles. such as "ruffes,' "bandes," ="
"cufes," "bootehose,' 'pillowberes,' -
Handkerchief" "sockes," were printed
from coppcrplate and protected by a
sheet of horn.
The tally was divided into fifteen
squares, In each of which was a dial
numbered from 0 to l. and a circular
brass indicator fastened by a small
central pin SO as to revolve. Each Of
these indicators was pierced near its
outer edge with a round hole, through
which one number Of the dial was visi-
bic. BY this very simple method the
number of each article sent to the
wash was easily shown, so that an ac-

Assault From London Mob.
London, oct 25.-Count Benken-

urned TO London from celebrating his
silver wedding with his wife's rela-
ives IN silesia, and barely escaped as
lault from a crowd at the Victoria
station which followed him almost in
o the embassy. Fortunately for the
ssue of peace or war, nothing result
ed; yet q special force of police was
compelled 20 guard the Russian en-
bassy.
After escaping from the hostile
Count Benkendorff drove at a gallop
to the embassy Half a dozen rowdies
followed, but the ambassador arrived
unharmed. His noisy pursuers enc0un-
tered a Gordon of police that had been
hurriedly dispatched to guard the en-
hacsy After singing "Rule britannia"
the dirturbers dispersed, no arrests
being made, but the police continued
TO guard the embassy as If II were a
British fortress. with such vigilance
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 Benkendorif had
telephoned him TO come to the en-
bassy TO write a long cipher message
TO St. Petersburg describing the hos

guest for some statement, the ambag-
sadcr sent word that he could say
nothing but it was gathered that he
had sent a dispatch to st. Petersburg,
