tie opening for any suggestion of a compromise. These comprise apologies for the action of the Russian squadron in firing on the British fishing fleet in the North sea, full compensation for the sufferers and punishment for the offenders, whoever they may be.
 That King Edward correctly inter- preted the feeling of the nation in pub licly stigmatizing the affair as "un- warrantable' was evidenced by the re- ception given him when he started for the race meeting at Newmarket. A big crowd awaited his majesty both at Buckingham palace and at the railroad staticn> and the heartiness of the cheer ing and the vigorous waving of hats and handkerchiefs from the enthusi- asts made up a remarkable demon stration and afforded the king evident pleasure.
 The inevitable delays of diplomatic procedure appear to retard a complete and satisfactory settlement of the acute differences between Great Brit ain and Russia arising from the de- plorable North sea affair.
 The Russian ambassador has ex- pressed to Foreign Minister Lans- downe his sorrow and sympathy. These developments have allayed to some extent the deep resentment in the public mind The admiralty gave evidence of its appreciation of the ne cessity of proving that it is prepared actively to support the position of the people of Great Britain and fulfill the expectations of the world when it is- sued the following statement:
 'On receipt on Oct. 24 of the news of the North sea tragedy preliminary or ders for mutual support and co-opera- tion were issued as measure of pre- caution from the admiralty to the channel. Mediterranean and home deets.''
 The report of the admiral of the fish, ing fleet, dated from 'the North sea-" is said to have picturesque touch, plain sailors yarn of the occurrence. It was handed to Foreign Minister Lansdowne last night
 A midnight dispatch from St. Peters burg says that Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky's reasons for firing into the British fishing fleet remain as great mystery as ever. The admiralty an nounces that the Sdmiral's report of the affair has not yet been received. If the important allegation in the note sent to Russia is established-namely, that the squadron actually changed formation before opening fire-it would seem to fix the responsibility upon Ro- jestvensky, and, whoever the author of the offense may be, it is regarded as certain that Great Britain will demand among other things, his punishment It is also considered certain that fail- ure to promptly comply with the de mands will be immediately followed by Ambassador Hardinge's recall. A dispatch from Virgo received early this morning makes no mention of the arrival there of the Baltic squadron, but reports that British warships have been seen off Lagos, presumably for the purpose of watching the squadron The news that the Baltic squadron has arrived at Brest gives some reason for hope that a report on the North @Aa affair vxiu he racnivAd today.

KUROPATKIN CHIEF Alexeieff Retains His Post
 as Viceroy.
WITH GODS HELP WILL DEFEAT LAPS
Imperial Ukase Issued at St. Peters- burg-Land and Sea Forces ThanL- ed For Self Sacrifice In ser-
 vice Of the Czar.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26.--An im- periaI ukase has been issued appointing General Kuropatkin commander in chief of the Russian army and retain ing Alexeief in the post of viceroy in the far east. The emperor also con- 1gratulates Viceroy Alexeieff on the ef- , ficiency he has displayed in the forma- ton, concentration and supreme direc- ton of troops in the theater of opera tions. Alexeieff, in proclamation, has thanked the land and sea forces for the self sacrifice they have shown and says he is proud of the mark of confidence bestowed upon him by the emperor in intrusting him with the supreme com mand of gallant troops. He hopes, in {, conclusion, that with Gods help their strong adversary will be defeated. St. Petersburg advices say that there is no news of important movements on the Shakhe river, though a resumption of hostilities is possible at any mo- ment.
 The emperor's trip to say farewell / to the troops in the province of Wilma has been delayed ten days on account of the Dogger bank incident War news has taken an entire secondary place in the face. of the present com plication. The sentiment in St. Pc tersburg is one of absolute stupefac- tion, pending developments. General Kurppatkin's appointment to be com mander in chief in the far east would have attracted much attention at any other time, but it arouses scant inter- est. It is an indication, however, of the emperor's unshaken confidence in Kuropatkin's ability. It is thought that General Meyendorff is the most : likely candidate for the command of the first army, while General Grippen- berg will command the second.
 The officers and sailors of the Rus sian protected cruiser Novik, driven ashore by the Japanese Aug. 20 in the harbor of Korsakovsk, arrived at Via divostok after a hard fifty days jour- ney. They travelled through hundred miles of swarnpy country.

 Convention.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 26. = Acting Secretary of State Adee dispatched a note looking to reconyention of Tho Hague conference. This is an invita- tion from the president of the United States to the signatory powers of the original Hague treaty to come together again for thea purpose of broadening and strengthening the original conven- ton and especially to consider means to further ameliorate the horrors of modern warfare and to conserve and extend the rights of neutral commerce on the high seas.
 In addition to the Signatory powers the invitation goes forward to four of the South and Central American re- publics, which have signified an ear nest desire te adhere to The Hague treaty, which have so far been pre- vented from doing so by the singular omission of general clause, usual in such treaties, allowing powers to ad- here to the articles of the treaty upon their own application.
 The note is directed to the American ambassadors and ministers abroad, with Instructions to sound the govern ments to which they are accredited and to extend President Roosevelt's invita- ton in such terms as they see fit. While the president has in his invita- ton suggested The Hague as proper meeting place for the conference, q majority of the powers must determine that as well as the date of the meeting.
