Fly Their Flags.
Paris, Oct, 2S--A dispatch from
Vigo, Spain, published here, gives an
interview with Prince Keretelli, an
officer on board the Russian battleship
Alexander Ill, giving details of the
North sea incident. He says:
y "The transport ArcaGaur was enter
ing the waters off Hull when she sud
denly observed herself to be surround
ed by numerous boats which she took
for torpedo, boats. The transport gave
q signal of alarm to the remainder OF
the feet and the Russian battleships
thereupon surrounded the unknown
boats. cutting off their escape. They
we're ordered to make known their ma
tionality, but answered only by evolu-
tions. The adnliraPs ship Immediately
ordered them to be fired upon and then
continued it's route without being
alarmed as to the results of the can
nonade, because it was believed the
encounter was with torpedo boats
bought by the Japanese in England" r.
Prince Keretelli added that before
the Russian cannonade began single
cannon shot was distinctly heard COM
ing from the direction Of the unknown
boats. 4*5 -, !, II X =a5 III, 4. i Il /

The West and in fact all sections of
this country sold the list at the Outset.
Commission houses had food OF sell
ing orders and reports have it that
some weakly marglned accounts were
sold out without previous warning to
holders.
Wall street was more acutely affect
ed by the warlike outlook than any
other market in the world and stocks
were shoveled out practically without
any cessation during the whole morn
ing. The strength IN the wheat mar
ket, the sharp advance in foreign ex-
change and further engagements Of
gold for export were accepted as cor
roboration Of the alarming advices of
the threatened outbreak OF hostilities.
During the morning practically all Of
the active high priced speculative
stocks were forced down between two
and three points. The reassuring pri-
vate advices received by great inter-
national banking houses were ignored
for time, but they served to reassure
sentiment ultimately. A steady re-
covery in prices of stocks then set in
and early in the afternoon only frac-
tional remnants were left of the ex-
treme losses of the morning.

TWO SIDES TO THE AFFAIR.
Rojestvensky's Report Causes 6ewi!-
derment In London.


dermeHt In London.
London, Oct. rs. - Ambassador
Benckendorff paid another visit TO Lord
Lansdowne at about o'clock in the
afternoon, presumably to discuss Ro-
jestvenskys report. This report caused
considerable bewilderment here since,
while the statement that two tor
pedo boats were among the fishing
fleet is generally secuted, there is be-
ginning to be evidence of some dis.
position to believe in the possibility
that there is another side to the, fisher
mems story and that the situation re-
quires more light.
The foreign Office regards the state
ment of the captain of the Swedish
steamer Alderbaran, now at Gefe,
Sweden, from Hull, to the effect that
his ship had been fired upon, as being
very important in indicating that the
Russians had previously fired on a
defenseless ship when there was no
question of the presence of torpedo
boats. 1t is understood that this point
was brought before Ambassador Benck-
endorff. 1t has also been pointed out
to the ambassador that it is practically
Impossible for trawlers to move when
their nets are down, so they could not
have got out of the way of the Rus
sian squadron even if they had been
ordered to do so.

COUNTY TREASURER INDICTED.
Charged With Embezzlement of Over
Fourteen Thousand Dollars.

Charged With Embezzlement of Over
Fourteen Thousand Dollars.
Pomeroy, O., Oct. 2S.-After investi-
eating for a month, the grand jury
Wednesday indicted County Treas
urer Thomas J. Chase, charging the
embezzlement OF. S14,500 from the coun-
ty treasury on Sept. y, when he claimed
that the treasury was looted by
masked robbers and himself locked in
the vault. When Chase was brought
from the county treasury into the
court his bond was fixed at 100000. AS
he was unable to furnish bail, he was
remanded to jail The arrest of Chase
caused no surprise in Meiggs county,
but there is much excitement over in
dictments that are expected to be re-
turned Thursday against other per-
sons. The name of one of these per-
sons is on the lips of all and he has
been suspected as much as Chase him.
self for over month. Chase claims
that two unknown masked men enter
ed his Office and robbed the safe,
locked him in, the vault, and made
their escape in daylight without being
seen by anyone about the courthouse
or in the town. Chase was found
locked up by his daughter. 1t was
shown to the grand jury that at least
half dozen men were sitting in
front of the courthouse all forenoon of
Sept 9, and saw no strangers.

aDMlRAL'S REPORT DISGUISED.
No Evidence to Support Roiestvensky's
Contention,


London, Oct. 2S.-The Associated
Press understands that the new phass
introduced into the situation by Ro.
jestvensky's report was the almost ex.
elusive subject of discussion at the
two conferences between Ambassador
Benckendorff and Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne. In consequence The CUES
ton of punishment is held in abey.
ance, Lord ,Lansdowne, it is stated,
said to Ambassador Benckendorf that
while the circumstances reported by
Rojestvensky were inconceivable to
him he quite understood that the Rus
sian government was bound to take
the word of it's own admiral. The opin-
ion expressed to the Associated Press
at the foreign Office was that it is
ridiculous to suppose that two torpedo
boats could lie unnoticed among the
vessels of the fishing fleet. There is
no evidence so far as the foreign Office
Is concerned to support Rojestven-
sky's contention. No opinion, how.
ever, could be expressed concerning
the outcome or the method of solving
the difficulty.
The general situation had improved
to some extent during the evening and
it is considered not improbable that
the whole matter may be submitted
to arbitration.

require.

tried for the wrongdoing to which he
referred, but for conspiracy with Bar

one may be guilty of wrong and not
guilty of conspiring to do so.'
