Balfour announced the British government had ordered two cruisers from the Cape of Good Hope to proceed immediately and search for and locate the Smolensk and her con- sorts and convey to them the instruc- tions from the Russian government to desist from further interference with neutral commerce.
 Most assuredly." said the premier should the volunteer fleet steamers attempt further captures, which do not thing they will. no such captures would be recognized by us. or by the Russian government"
 MT. Balfour carefully reviewed the cases of alleged differential treatment He said there was no evidence as yet that fair treatment would not be meet ed out to all and that in his opinion the cases cited hardly bore out the serious contention of discrimination against British shipping. but should 1t. against his own belief. appear thai there really had been discrimination the government ould take every ster to end such disastrous state of things which he even refused to contemplate The deputatson must remember that belligerents had rights as well as neu. trals.

 protected cruisers Chiltoz anu
 hima:
 At the end of the fight of August 1o, in which the Novik sustained three
 holes below the water line, she passed through the enemy's ships with tho cruiser Askold. l lost sight of the lat ter owing to fog and to the delay caus- ed by repairing the engines. August II, I entered Kiaochou to coal and left there on August 12. round- ing Japan for pladivostok. August the | 20 the Novik reached Korsakovsk. At | four o'clock on the same day sight ed an enemy's cruiser of the Mitaka type and put to sea to engage her. After 45 minutes fighting. the Novlk l had three holes below her water line and two above and the steering gear | was damaged.
 The Japanese cruiser ceased fighting and began telegraphing. By the end of the engagement only six of our boilers were in good order. and this fact, added to the damage to our steering gear. compelled me to re- turn to Korsakovsk to examine our condition.
 Tn doing this. intended to put to sea again at night, but finding 1t im- possible to repair the rudder. and in view of the approach of several of the enemy's vessels, I decided to sink the cruiser in shallow water. The stores were conveyed on shore. August 21 a cruiser of the Suma type bombarded part of the cruiser showing above water. My casualties on the 18th were two sailors killed and a doc 1 tor wounded, and on the goth two sail- ors killed and fifteen slightly wounded"

 The prisoner was taken to Mount Olivet today from this city by a mili- tary escort under Colonel Roger Will Hams. Upon arrival there crowd of 5000 met them. and although orderly and quiet, 1t was almost impossible to push through 1t.
 At 2 p. m. the trial began. A jury was soon impaneled, the witnesses heard and tonight the case went to the jury.
 Colonel Williams and Judge Osborne decided that the troops and the prison CT would not leave the court house tonight. Excitement is now high. It seems certain that should the jury fall to agree. there will be trouble. Jailer Thompson was extremely popular and the people are anxious that Maybrier be hanged.
 There would have been lynching today had the militia not been present. The crowds are spending the night in the streets awaiting the verdict.

 The victorian is to be fitted in a most luxurious manner, and is to car ry 1,500 passengers. but the chief in- terest in her lies in her propelling power. Turbine steamers on the Clyde and in cross channel service have proved very successful, mainly because they have affored more comfort to passengers, but considerable modifi- cations had to be devised to meet the requirements of the Atlantic service, including enormous nropellinR power
