st. Petersburg, Oct. 26-2 p. NJ
Again at noon today the admiralty
announced that Vice Admiral Rajest-
vensky's report had not yet arrived,
but the British embassy has been as
sured that it Is on it's way here. There
fore the long-awaited Russian version
or the North sea incident on which
the future action Of Great Britain de-
pends cannot be much longer delayed.
The admiralty does not offer any ex-
planation Of how the report is coming,
but 1t may have been mailed at Cher
bourg, as intimated in these dispatches
last night. although it is possible that
one OF the torpedo boats which sailed
from Cherbourg may have been sent
to secure it.
Captain Calthorpe, the British ma
val attache, was at the admiralty again
today in full uniform, in quest of in
formation as to when the report could
be expected. 1t Is evident from the
vigor with which the British embassy
is pressing its inquiries that it is not
the intention of the British govern.
ment to await it indefinitely, and that,
on the contrary, anything In the nature
of unreasonable delay will occasion
new representations. However, che
admiralty's statement conveyed to am
bassador Hardinge today is regarded
as reassuring and altogether the stu
alton Is considered to have entered on
distinctly better phase, though the
acute stage. cannot be regarded as hav-
ing passed until the character of the
Russian explanation Is revealed and
the British demands which will fol
low are presented. If, upon the re.
ceipt, Of Admiral Rojestveasky's re.
port the Russian government in COM
municating its explanation voluntari.
ly announces that searching inquiry
will be ordered to give the RESPONSE
bility and that the offenders will be
punished, 1t Is not thought Great Brit.
ain can reasonably demand more mas
much as Emperor Nicholas himself
has already offered an apology for
the unfortunate affair and has given
assurances that the victims will re-
ceive the fullest compensation.
The admiralty has despatched a
swift ship from Vigo to ascertain
whether any British fishermen are off
the Spanish coast, and to warn Ro.
jestvensky.

the supreme command of the land

soldiers and the world Of the marks OF
imperial confidence reposed in him and

from the Stream.

Many curious stories have been told
about beavers and their ways. Some of
the lumbermen in Maine say they are
flooding their timberlands to such an
extent that they should have less protec-
ton by law, while visitors to our lakes
and ponds find them a great attraction.
The biggest" beavers, in a way, that
We have heard Of reside in Redington
township near the Eustis branch of the
Phillips and Rangeley railroad. Their
home is on stream that supplies water
for engines. A few weeks ago the en-
CINE crew stopped for water and found,
to their surprise, that the stream was
dry. 1t was only dry for a few days,
however, and the water began to run
again without any apparent cause for
the change. Then a man followed up
the brook to investigate, and a mile and
a half or so up he found a nice beaver
pond. The beavers had damned the
stream for their own purposes and when
their pond was full the overflow went
into the stream and then the engine
could have the water. -.

his boat on his back. But with the
coming of winter the Lapps utilize the
icebound rivers as thoroughfares in
