London. Oct 24.-Foreign Minister
I.ansdowne and Beckenedorff. the Rus
sian ambassador, were both out of
town yesterday and all the govern
ment offices in London were closed as
usual on Sunday. therefore no official
view could be gained of the firing by
Russian war vessels upon the British
fishing fleet In the North Sea.
The first reports we're regarded as
almost incredible. When cumulative
evidence no longer left doubt of the
general accuracy OF the reports aston
ishmen. became bewilderment as to
what possible motive could have led
Russian officers into such an extra
ordinary and inexplicable course of
action which. unless satisfactory ex-
planat.on Is Immediately forthcoming,
could be regarded only a an act of
war.
Hesrtlessness Of the Russians
This is the view taken edi.orially
by all the morning papers. The worst
feature of the story. as viewed here.
is the heartlessness displayed by the
Russian feet IN steaming away with
out taking .he trouble to ascertain
even whether their fire had inflicted
any damage and without any effort to
rescue victims.
While admitting the necessity OF a
suspension Of judgment for inves.iga-
tion and explanation. the morning pa
pers are unanimous in demanding
that the government instruct Ambas-
sador Hardin to make the strongest
representations to the ST. Petersburg
government and obtain reparatlon

Fraud Alleged in the Balloting at
Denver.

Denver. Nov. 1.-THE defeat of
Governor James H. Peabody, Rep, by
Alya Adams, DEM, Is no longer seri-
ously disputed by the Republican lead
ers. All the other candidates on the
Democratic ticket also appear to be
elected. Republicans allege fraud In
the balloting in some Denver precincts
and threaten to contest the state cleo
tion However, as Adams has plu-
rality of 10,500, of which $500 is in the
state outside the city and county Of
Denver, his election would seem to be
assured beyond question.
Adams ran ahead Of all other candi.
dates on his ticket and complete re.
turns may show that some Republican
candidates are elected.
Both sides are claiming the three
congressman. John f. Shafroth, Dem,
claims that he has been elected con-
gresham at large, but the returns are
SO incomplete that the result cannot
be stated positively
The Democrats will control both
branches of the legislature unless
members-elect are thrown out on con-
tests.

cedes the defeat of Governor Peabody.

Roosevelt carried Missouri, in which

void of feature.

Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh

In these two districts Dunn ran far
