St. Petersburg, Nov. /. - 1t is
learned on high authority that the
Russian minister of marine has def
mite information that the Baltic fleet
fired upon it's own torpedo boats,
which they supposed to be Japanese,
when they suddenly doomed up out of
the fog in front of the Russian battle
ship division.
The torpedo boats were doing scout
duty around the squadron. when two
of them appeared near a transport
which was in front of the ~warships.
The officer of the watch at once sig
nailed that he was being attacked.
One Boat Escaped.
One torpedo boat, maneuvering
quickly, crossed the bows of the
transport and escaped as oon as the
firing began.
The commander OF the second tor
pedo boat, as soon as he was fired
upon, thought he was attacked by Jap
anese, and replied with his %quick-ir-
ing guns. Several men on the nearest
battleship were wounded.

Rrinidad, Colo, Nov. 2. - Eighteen
collins were shipped to Tercio yester-
day on an order of the Rocky Noun
tain Coal and Iron company for the
burial OF the victims of the mine ex-
plosion that occurred last Friday
The bodies have not yet been recov-
cred, but local officials of the company
who have canvassed the town now
claim that only eighteen men were in
the mine at the time of the explosion
1t is conceded that nom Of these will
be found alive. The wide discrepancy
between the list of dead given out by
the company and the list of forty-nine
made by the coroner, is explained by
the fact that diggers enter the mine
without reporting to the shaft bosses
The exact number of victims will not
be ascertained until the mine has
been thoroughly exploded and many
days may elapse before all the bodies
are recovered.

CLAIMED TO BE SOLICITING
MONEY FOR VOLUNTEER LIFE
SAVING CORPS.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR VICTIMS
COLLECT FOR OFFICIAL JOURNAL
AS WELL AS FOR SPURIOUS
ENTERPRISES.

New York, Nov. 2.-The arrest of
three men here yesterday will lead,
according to Deputy Assistant District
Attorney Paul Krotel, to the exposure
of a gang of swindlers who have been
collecting none for more than a year
from the charitable people N mer-
camille firms of the city. In police
court, where they were held for ex-
animation, the prisoners gave their
names as John Fay, John Mack, also
said to be known as McCafferty, and
George Martin. all of New York. Fay
and Mack were charged with collect
ing money under false ~pretences.
They represented, it is alleged, that
they were

iners' Harbor, s. L. j. Wesley Jones,
president of the United States organ
iZation Of the same name, according
to Mr.. Krotel, says there is no such in
corporated organization as the
America" concern.
Martin is accused of collecting
money for the official journal of the
Knights of Labor, as we'll as for some
alleged spurious enterprises. Thomas
Canning of Washington, treasurer of
the Knights Of Labor, testified in
court yesterday that he did not know
Martin and that he had re-
ceived a dollar from him. Moreover,
he said that the general assembly of
the knights of Labor rescinded last
men to collect money for the official
journal.
Cut Of Collectors.
The organization also secured a.
permanent injunction against John
w. Hayes, restraining him as grand
master workman from giving authori-
ty to anybody to collect money for
the official journal and ~cancelling all
rights to collect money then in force
Martin had a paper purporting to be
signed by Hayes, good until Jan. /,
1905, ac%crediting him as a collector
for the Knights of Labor Journal.
Besides this paper Martin also had
subscription lists for other labor
bodies. One was in behalf of the EX-
press Companies Employees Protec-
tive union, which went out of business
in May, 1903, Mr.. Krotel says. Anoth-
er list was for the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen, which, Mr.. KrOtel
says, is no longer in existence. The
three men were sent to the tOmbs.
