Wise Words,

Homes are beautiful only when there
are equal rights; when the husband,
wife and children respect and admire
one another; where there is confidence
and trust, and this can never be when
the wife and daughters are reduced
to the conditions of paupers and beg
gars. If the evil exists in the home
there should be readjustment of af-
fairs and each member of the work
ing firm be allowed his or her share of
the income. Then the home business
will not be robbed of the concentrated
efforts of its partners. nor will the
girls and women be looking elsewhere
for work that will yield cash return.

An Alaska Tundra,

A tundra. as it is known in the Arc
tics. is region marked by morasses
of bog moss on which reindeer moss,
lichens and at times towering plants
abound. In summer tundras are i'm
passable, though the ground below a
depth of two feet or SO is frozen. but
in winter they can be crossed readily.
Owing to increase of thickness of the
vegetable growths. their surfaces rise

Sawdust for Wounds.

Fine sawdust has been suggested as
a dressing for wounds and as vehicle
for antiseptics. The finely sifted dust,
when used alone, is said to make a
clean and pleasant dressing, for it
readily absorbs the discharges with
out becoming lumpy or adhering, and
it is as easily rendered antiseptic as
cotton wool. Sawdust of the yellow
pine, rich as it is in turpentire, is a
valuable antiseptic application for
wounds.

Admiral Is Sarcastic.
Rojestvensky refers to, and replies
specifically, to the reports in the
British press, showing that he had the
press accounts before him when he
wrote his report. Some of his language
is sarcastic, especially when speaking
of the appearance of the torpedo boats
from the direction Of the British fish
ermen, conveying an intimation which
certainly will arouse resentment In
England. He declares that no other
naval commander at sea under similar
circumstances would have failed to
open fire. adding that he courts the
fullest inquiry and suggests that
court of inquiry could be held at Vigo.
In concluding his telegram, Admiral
Rojestvensky expressed in the most
warm hearted way the regrets of the
whole squadron TO the fishermen who
had suffered and to the families of the
victims.

According to one account Of Rojest-

that there were no torpedo boats with

completely corroborate Rojestvensky.
Keen Interest for Diplomats.
In diplomatic circles Rojestvensky's
renOrt crNaatad tho Iyaapae+ ;p+oros+ rrL,
feeling is that the situation demands
impartial investigation to secure salts
faction to both parties and to the world
generally. The mystery is not consid-
cred to be cleared up
One of the things particularly point
ed out is the fact that Rojestvenskys
report was written after he had seen
the foreign accounts of the affair." The
admiralty is unable to explain why
after being attacked. he waited four
days before reporting, and that he then
took pains to reply to the allegations
of the press. In some quarters this
is regarded as suspicious.
OF course the government accepts
the report in perfect good faith, but if
an inquiry should prove that the re-
port was prepared to shield himself,
the most severe punishment would be
melted out to him. If, on the contrary,
it is proved to be correct, it will place
Great Britain in an awkward position.
In either event, the situation might
be rendered more acute. and the feel
ing among the diplomats is that pend

CAME UPON HIS FLEET
IN THE DARKNESS.


miral Rojestvensky's explanation of
the trawler incident is fully as sensa-
tional as the news of the firing upon
the fishing fleet which set all England
aflame.
He declares he was attacked in the
darkness by two torpedo boats, which
came upon the squadron from the di-
rection of the fishing fleet. He opened
fire and believes he sank one of the
torpedo boats, the other making off
for cover among the fishermen.
AS soon as he noticed the fishermen
Admiral Rojestvensky ceased firing. He
proceeded on his way without leaving
any vessel behind, and says he be-
lieves the vessel which the fishermen
reported remained on the scene for six
hours without Offering succor to the
drowning men was the other torpedo
boat, either waiting for her consort or
repairing damage inflicted by the fire
OF his ships.

to-day, maintained that such punish
ment must be taken on the sponta-
neous initiative of the Emperor's gov
eminent. and that a demand from
foreign power that Russia shall pun
ish her officers cannot be entertained.
In any event, it was impossible for
the Russian government to mete out
punishment without having before it
a statement of facts as presented by
its own officers.
Count Benkendorff also pointed out
that the Emperor's telegram was re-
garded by all Russians less as a per-
sonal communication to King Ed
ward than as an expression of the
sentiment of the whole Russian ma
ton.
Ambassador Benkendorff paid an
other visit to Lord Lansdowne at about
o'clock this afternoon, presumably
to discuss Rojestvenskys report. This
caused considerable bewilderment
here, since while the statement that
two torpedo boats were among the
fishing fleet is generally secuted, there
is beginning to be evidence of some
disposition to believe in the possibility
that there is another side to the fisher
mems story, and that the situation re-
quires more light
The Foreign Office regards the state
ment of the captain of the Swedish
steamer Alderbaran, now at Gefie,
Sweden, from Hull, England, as being
very important in indicating that the
Russians had previously fired on a de-
fenseless ship, when there was no
question of the presence of torpedo
boats. 1t is understood that this point
was brought before Ambassador Ben
kendorff this afternoon. 1t has also
been pointed out to the ambassador
that it is practically impossible for
traWlers to move when their nets are
down, so they could not have got out
of the way of the Russian squadron,
even if they had been ordered to do so.

COPENHAGEN HASTENS
TO RUSSIAS RESCUE
ConfIrmatory story About Vessels to
Attack Russians.


Copenhagen, Oct. 27.-The corre-
spondent of the Associated Press learns
that the Danish ministry of marine
was informed that several ships,
chartered by japanese were at Hull to
attack the Russian second Pacific
squadron in the North sea. The Rus
slams were informed of this.
The marine authorities here credit
the report.
The Danish ministry was officially
informed that thirteen Swedish vessels
had been chartered by the Japanese to
attack the Russian squadron in the
Baltic. A Danish cruiser and torpedo
boat watched the vessels so closely
that their approach to the Russian
squadron was impossible.
While thus engaged the Danish tor
pedo boat Havhasten had a narrow
escape. The commander of a Russian
battleship mistook the Danish torpedo
boat for an enemy and fired a blank
shot. The quickness of the torpedo
boat in displaying its flag saved her.
This happened at night. When the
captain of the torpedo boat boarded
the battleship he found large quanti-
ties of ammunition piled ready for use.
This incident was reported to the DAN
ash marine minister at the time.
Danish warships acted as police for
the Russian squadron until the latter
reached the North sea.
