AN AWAKENING NECESSARY.

Following the fri2htful disaster III
ling Island sound, there will, OF
course. be dilisent inquiry into the
condition on other eXcnrson-boats-
on all boats. no doubt, including the
ocean liners-as to whether they have
sufficient protection in case OF fire
whether they have fire drills at stated
intervals as required by law, whether
they have sufficient life preServers.
whether these are in good condition,
whether boats carry more passengers
than allowed by law, and. finally,
whether there ought not to be hre-
proof requirements for passenger
boats Just as there are fireproof re-
quirements for public buildings
Possibly, but not probably this in
qriry will be extended beyond boats.
The Irquois disaster led to an examin-
alton of theaterS and even got so far
as other public buildings not only in
Chicago, but throughout the world.
but nobody thought of looking into
excursion boats. 1t was first neces
sary that an excursion boat and many
people should burn. This is one OF
the weaknesses of human nature.

WHEN JUDGE SHEFFIELD QUITS
Several Well Known Lawyers Will
Want to Fill His Unexpired Term
of Two and a Halt Years.
hen will Judge Sheffield resign?

When will Judge Sheffield resign?
That is the question that is just now
interesting number of we'll known
lawyers of the circuit who will want to
fill his unexpired term of two and a
half years.
A special from Cuthbert, where
Judge Sheffield announced that he
contemplates an early resignation,
states that 1t is the opinion that he will
leave the bench soon after holding
Terrell superior court next week, and
gives the names of a number of we'll
known attorneys who will probably
apply to the governor for appointment
This special says:
"Judge Sheffield intimated that the
court drawing to close in this county
would likely be the last he would ever
hold here. Terrell court convenes
next week, and this is the last court
of his regular round. 1t is the general
impression that his resignation will
be handed in after that court Is held
and before the spring terms of court
come around. He informed the audi
ence that he wanted to make this an
nouncement 40 that all aspirants would
be put upon notice and treated fairly.
There are several names already men
toned in connection with this Office in
the event he should retire. Among
them are Col. w. G. Worrill of Cuth.
bert, Coils. J. D. Rambo and Clarence
Wilson of Clay county, Judge A. M.
Raines of Terrell, and Col. Arthur
Powell of Early"
The News is informed that in the
event of vacancy Judge Raines will
not only apply for appointment to the
unexpired term, but will be candidate
in the next election for the full term.
He is one of the most competent and
best known lawyers Of the circuit, and
already has many strong assurances OF

Thouqht He Saw Torpedo Boats.

LONDON, Oct 27.-Rojestvensky S
report reached Count Benkendorff this
morning. and was quickly conveyed TO
the government. 1t is understood that
the admiral states that he never had
any intention of firing on the traWlers
which were early noticed by the Rus
sian feet as ii passed DOgger bank.
Among the trawlers the Russian Off
GERS noticed two steamers moving at
high rate of speed, which looked eX-
actly like torpedo boats. ROjestvensky
concluded that they We're Japanese
torpedo boats and he adds that in his
opinion the squadron fired against
these two ships. He denies that a
Russian warship was left behind SIX
hours and never lowered a boat to as
sst the injured. He says: The Rus
sian officers We're totally ignorant or
a shot having struck the trawlers. In
behalf of himself and the officers and
men of his fleet he regrets that the
trawlers and fishermen suffered.
