BRITISH DEMANDS.
Press Wants the Punishment of Russ
 sian Oficers.

Press Wants the Punishment of Rus
 sian officers.
 London, oct. 25.-The features of the editorial articles in the newspapers this morning is a practically universal de- mand that the government insist upon the punishment of the Russian officers responsible for the Dogger bank affair as the only possible insurance against a recurrence of the kind. Without this 1t is argued that the seas will be un- safe for any peaceful vessel. King Edwards telegram characterizing the affair as "unwarrantable" is consider ed to reflect we'll the national temper, and the fact that his majesty has talk en the unusual course to thus interfere in a diplomatic matter gives the great est satisfaction as emphasizing the ex- ceptionally grave nature of the crisis. A days reflection on the matter only leads the newspapers and public opin- ion to greater firmness in demanding that the amplest, reparation shall be made without delay.
 Regret is expressed that there should be any demonstration against Count Benkendorff, the Russian ambassador, who personally is credited with friend- .ly feelings towards Great Britain. The Standard declares that such foolish demonstration is not worth talking about.
 The Daily News claims to have ob- tained the following statement from Count Benkendorff:
 II am i'll with the fatigue of a long journey and anxiety, but I authorize you to say from me to the people of England that I am absolutely certain that what occurred was a deplorable accident and nothing else, My regret and my country's regret, it is, am Esure, unnecessary for me to speak of

COLORADO SWIFT.
New Armored Cruiser Has a Successful
 Trial.

Boston, Oct. 24-The armored cruiser Colorado, built for the United States navy by William Cramp 6 Sons, Of Philadelphia, to-day on her official trial covered eighty-eight nautical miles in three hours, fifty-seven minutes and seven seconds, maintaining an hourly average speed of 22.26 knots through out the run, exceeding the speed of twenty-two knots called for in the builders contract by more than quar- ter of a knot. It is thought that tide corrections may increase her average slightly. The highest speed developed was 2s.SS knots, and this was maintain- ed for six and six-tenths miles during the homeward run.
 To-day's performance rates the Col orado as the fastest vessel in the ar mored cruiser class. and one of the fast est in the navy. the only large Ameri- can warships that have ever exceeded her speed being the Columbia and Min neapolis.
