No Excuse for Fir
ing on Fishermen

London, Oct. 27.-A special cor
respondent of the Tines, in telegram
from Hull. SCOTS at the idea that the
North sea horror was due to mistake
on the part of the Russians. He says
that he has no doubt that the outrages
was committed deliberately. Against
the theory that the officers of the fleet
were in such state of extreme ner-
vousness that they were unable to re-
main like reasonable human beings, he
cites the fact that the first squadron of
the fleet sailed calmly by the trawlers
and took no notice of them, and asks If
it is any more likely that the officers
of the second squadron we're anymore
likely to have been in blue funk than
those who had gone before. Whatever
their condition, they must have OBJ
tanned knowledge through a torpedo
boat what sort of people were on board
the trawlers.
1t is nonsense, the correspondent
adds, to pretend that the men on the
torpedo boat did not recognize the
character of these fishing boats. There
was no possibility of installing these
boats for vessels of some other sort.
The plea of ignorance on the part of
the Russians is dismissed as ridiculous.
The correspondent declines to accept
the theory that some nervous gunner
let off his piece without orders, and so
set the gunners of four ships to work.
Tho Rr;r ba holds 81 hx,
order form the admiral commanding
the squadron. He describes the con-
dition of the vessels which were under
fire, showing that they were literally
riddled with shot from machine guns
and badly torn by shells. The Russians,
he says, made first rate practice, which
he considers square denial of the
theory of gunners paralyzed with ter
ror, and also of the suggestion that the
night was SO dark that they could not
distinguish the vessels they were fir
ing at.
Finally" says the correspondent,
1--WE have the fact that they steamed
away and have kept silence about the
escapade. That is incompatible with
the idea Of a genuine blunder made in
good fitha, but it is quite in keeping
with the conduct of a drunken COM
mander who has yielded to the tempta-
ton of having little fun among the
English fishermen.
II notice that the suggestion
drunkenness has come from Berlin
where they know Russian ways very
we'll. 1t will occur to everyone who
has ever seen Russian officers full of
voda or champagne that this exploit is
the, very thing that would occur to a
man in that not uncommon condition.
He would think no more of it than of
heaters out shooting, and if
one of the poor brutes died he would
laugh and settle the matter with
handful of roubless.
Fishermen are no more than peas
ants in the eyes of we'll born Russian,
and when drunk he would not be
troubled by sense of responsibility
This may seem incredible to many
persons, but the Russian can not be
ddged by western standards, especial
ly in their relation with persons of no
like fishermen. "

INDIAN DIClPLlNE.

Red Men Are Possessed of Much Natr
raj Politeness.
No people are possessed of create,
share OF natural politeness than the
Indians. wrote Isaac Weld in 1899,
they will never interrupt while another
is speaking! nor. if one has told then
anything which they think to be false
will they bluntly contradict him. They
deem it highly becoming in warrior
to accommodate his manners to those
of the people with whom he may hap
pen to be. The following anecdote Is
told by Mr.. Weld in How Our Grand.
fathers Lived:
Our friend Nekig, The Little Otter,
had been invited to dine with US at
the house of a gentleman at Detroit
and he came accordingly, accompanied
by his little son, boy Of nine or ten
years.
After dinner a variety Of fruits was
served, and among the rest were some
peaches, a dish of which was handed
to the young Indian.
He helped himself to one with be-
coming propriety but Immediately az
terward he put the fruit to his NOUN
and bit piece out of 1t.
The father eyed him with indigna'
ton, and spoke some words to him Id
q low voice, which l could not under
stand, but which, on being interpreted
by one of the company, proved TO pea
warm reprimand for his having Deep
SO deficient in observation as not "
peel his peach, as he saw the genue'
man opposite him had done.
The little fellow was extremely
ashamed of himself; but he qulcA9
retrieved his error by drawing pas
toward him and peeling the fruit WIN
the greatest neatness.
Some drink to which he was altei'
ward helped, not being by any means
agreeable to his palate, the little felio"
made a wry face, as child might nat
urally do. This called forth anoune,
reprimand from the father, VINO 'o'u
him that he despaired of ever seeius
him a great man or good "arlto' -.
he appeared thus to dislike wna' -
host had kindly given him. Inc :"
took the rest of his drink WIN Se'-
ing pleasure.
