Made Extraordinary RIunder.

London, October 27.-At 3 o'clock this
morning there is no sign as to when Ad-
miral Rojestvensky report will be made
public, but if unofficial reports should
turn out to reflect the admirals official
report, 1t is evident the Russian officers
made an extraordinary blunder in mis-
taking trawlers for torpedo boats, and
fired on these phantom foes This as
tonishing explanation is regarded here as
not fitting well with the state of panic
suggested as having prevailed among the
officers of the Baltic fleet; and that in
that case 1t Is suggested the Russian
government should find no difficulty in
removing and furnishing the officers re-
sponsible.
The newspapers this morning evince
more heat and impatience than heretofore
at Russas delay which is considered abb
solutely indefensible in the present cir
cumStances.

Lieut. Gov Higgins Tells Why
Roosevelt is a Friend Of
the Co|ored Race
SAYS JUDGE PARKER IS
INCONSISTENT IN IDEAS
Wants to Give the FiIipinos the Right
of Suffrage and at the Same
Time Deny 1t to the
Negro.

New York. October 26.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Higgins spoke here tonight at a
mass meeting held at Cooper Union un-
der the auspices of .ne colored republic
can club of the city of New York. The
large auditorium was filled with an au-
dience composed almost entirely of col
ored people. a large proportion of <hem
being women.
Charles w. Anderson, president of the
club, presided and introduced the republic
can candidate for governor as the first
speaker.
Mr. Higgins said:
"Since Abraham Lincoln, the great
emancipator, freed the slave. and the re-
publican party placed the ballot in his
hands and made him citizen, the DEM
ocratic party in the south, first by ter
ror and violence, then by fraud and STRAIT
egem, and finally by forms of law. has
sought to reduce the negro to political
ser1dom.
Hated in the South.

the Mason and Dixon line because he
Judges a man by qualities of heart and
brain that go to make up real manhood,
and refuses to close the door of hope
to him because of the color of the skin.

tuition to wards of the nation beyond the
seas and denies its guarantees to the
black citizens of tn United States In
the congressional elections of 1902 in the
state of Mississippi, cne total vote cast
In the district that sent John Sharp vii
1iap,s tho dannopratfp leader of the house
of representatives, was 1888.
in the same election in the Ninth con
gressonal district in the city of New
York nearly 10000 votes were cast fo
representatives in congress. The demo
cratic party counts the negro representa-
tion, but 1enies him the right to par
ticipate in the choice of his representa-
tives. While suffrage is being establish
ed throughout the solid south so tina
the whites exercise greater political pow
er than in slavery days. This is unjust
not only to the negro who loses his vot
in the south. but also to the voter in tn
north, whose vote is relatively reduce,
in weight.
General Woodford Speaks.
Other speakers were General Stewar'
l.. Woodford and Ernest NJ. Lyons, min
lister to Liberia.
On the Philippine question Genera
Woodford said that the democratic party
was not in a position to criteise th'
treatment IF the Filipinos in view OF tn'

Senator A. p German made what possi-

William S. Cowherd, of Missouri, chair
man of the democratic congressional cam

speaker of national prominence.
Eulogizing Lincoln the speaker said he
had tried to bring peace and prosperity
to the south at the close of the war,

comes one, Theodore Roosevelt, to re-

London Papers Are Bitter.

London, October 27-The tone of moder-
alton and mildness hitherto shown by the
press of London is observed to be yielding
TO one of an out-spoken bellicose nature.
The Daily Mail editorially speaks of war
threatening, and gives in scare headlines,
"Ultimatum to Russia Expires this After
noon," etc.
Without going to these lengths. nearly
all the papers are discussing the possi-
bilities of war should the war party in
ST. Petersburg be able to influence the
emperor and government into a determi-
nation to shield the officers of the Baltic
squadron. The unofficial explanation Of
Admiral Rojestvensky telegraphed from
Vigo is stigmatized by the Morning Post
and other papers as apparently that of
a lunatic, whose continuance in a posi-
tion of responsibility is a menace to every
vessel that navigates the sea.
The Daily Telegraph, representing the
government view, says:
There is no doubt whatever of the gov
ernments seriousness. No responsible
commander would order a fleet athwart
the path of vessels of a foreign power
without recognizing the responsibilities of
such a grave step; yet this is what his
maiesty's government has done with eyes
wide open'
Correspondents Are BeIlicose.
An equally bellicose tone characterizes

BROTHERS DIE IN

Refused to Move From the Track
When the Engineer Blew the
Whistle and Rang Bell.

Knoxville, October 26-Two young men
about 81 and %, locked in each others
embrace, laid down upon the tracks OF
| the Tellico railway, about four miles
| from Athens, Tenn, and let the train
run over them this morning. At this time
1t is not known who the young men are.
| There is nothing on their persons to indi-
| cate their identity. The bodies were taken
to Athens, where an inquest was held
and adjourned until tomorrow before a
verdict was rendered.
The engineer of the train states that he
saw the forms of the young men on the
track, rang the bell and blew the whistle,
but they did not move. Every indica-
ton is that they are brothers and desired
to commit suicide.
One of those who saw the remains states
that he thinks they are Peeler Castle and
brother, who live in a remote part of
the county.
from Vioe-Admiral Rojestvensky. The
official continued
"The delay in getting the Russian ver-
sion of the North sea affair as proving
exceedingly embarrassment to this gov
ernment. 1t is felt that in the infamed
state OF British public opinion the mex
pllcable absence of any official report, is
becoming a most serious factor. and rem
ders still more difficult an already deli
cate situation
While the good faith of the Russian
government in its efforts to probe the af-
fair is not questioned, it is evident from
renewed British inquiries at the foreign
office and admiralty on Wednesday that
while no time limit for a response to the
British note has been fixed King Ed
wards government is neither in humor
nor a position to brook unreasonable de-
| lay. 1t is realized here that each day s
delay will render the temper of the people
Of both countries most uncertain. The
opinion is expressed at the admiralty that
the report may be received today.
Delay is Inexplicable.
The possibility, of course, remains that
the information of the Associated Press
yesterday afternoon may be correct, that
the report is already in the hands of the
emperor, but if so, the delay in transmit
| ting it to the admiralty is inexplicable,
| assurances having been extended to the
| British embassy that there should not be
| the slightest delay IN communicating the
| report when 1t was received
| One danger of complications discussed
| here lies in the possibility that Great Brit
ain may deem it necessary to dispatch
| warships to warn and protect British
trawlers off the Spanish coast. On the
| other hand. If the nature of Rojestven-
sky's report renders the recall of the Bal
! tic squadron imperative, 1t will weigh
greatly in Japans favor, and have se-
rous bearing on the future course of the
war in the far east.
