Racing at Detroit.

Detroit, Sept. 6.-Five favorites and
two second choices were returned win
ners at Highland park Monday after
noon. The crowd in attendance was
the largest in the history of the track
and the brisk betting left the ring
with the balance slightly on the bad
side when the day was over. The La
Dor Day handicap, which featured the
program, had eight starters and it was
won by Spencerian, a strong choice in
the betting. Jockey Shaver rode three
winners and a third horse.

Thursday next Alton B. Parker will visit

There also he will be joined by Mrs. Park

Feeling in Great Britain Over
North Sea Tragedy.
RUSSIANS SURPRISED
RoJESTVENSKY'S REPORT AS SEN
SATIoNAL AS INCIDENT.
Lord Lansdowne Believes There Will
Taking Precautionary Measures.

The situation growing out of the action
of the Russian squadron in sinking the
British trawlers is described in today's dis
patches as acute but still capable of a sat
isfactory adjustment. The eagerly awaited
report of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has
been received by the emperor, but his eX-
PLANTATION only serves to increase the myS-
terry and throw an additional sensational
feature into the affair. He says that he
attacked in the darkness by two tor
pedo craft which came from the direction
OF the fishing fleet. and that if the fire he
directed against the torpedo boats struck
the trawlers 1t was accidental and he ex-
presses his warm regret at the occurrence.
Russian dispatches place much stress
upon the report as giving an entirely new
aspect to the situation, and point out that
the skipper of the trawler Moulmien, in an
interview on Sunday night, said that two
torpedo vessels approached the fleet and
that the firing followed.
The report of Carr the admiral of the
fishing feet, however, made no mention Of
this incident. Ambassador BenkendOrff, in
an interview today with Lord LansdOwne,
took exception to the British demand for
the punishment of the offending officers,
maintaining that such punishment could
only be taken on the spontaneous initiative
of the emperor and that such demand
from a foreign power could not be enter
tanned.
1t is regarded as certain that meeting of
the British cabinet will be called for to-
morrow, and at this the question of Great
Britain's adherence to or recession from
this demand will be decided. From the
best information 1t is believed that no time
limit has been fixed by Great Britain for
compliance with her demands, but the sig
niticant statement is made that II is gener-
ally understood in London that the passage
of Gibraltar by the Russian fleet will be
barred pending a satisfactory reply.
In the meantime unconcealed activity
prevails in British naval affairs. The Rus
sian squadron remains at the Spanish port
of Nigo, where 1t put in yesterday.
LONDON, October 81, 4:21 p.m.-While no
time limit for the receipt of Russia's reply
has been fixed. it is generally understood
today that the route of the Russian squad
ron past Gibraltar will be barred by the
channel squadron commanded by Vice Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford.
AT o'clock this afternoon Lord Lans-
downe expressed his belief that a peaceful
settlement would be arrived at
Another Side to Story Believed.
Ambassador Benkendorff paid another
visit to Lord Lansdowne at about 3 o'clock
this afternoon, presumably to discuss
Rojestvensky's report. This caused con-
siderable bewildeTment 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 fishermen's
story.
