"INEXCUSABLE OUTRAGE"
Earl OF seibOrne's Characterization or
the Russian Act.


Special Caoie Despatch TO THE SUN,
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Earl OF Selborne,
First Lord OF the Admiralty. presiding to-
night at dinner given by the Pilgrims
Club to Rear Admiral Jewell and the Of
fcers OF the American squadron now at
Gravesend, referred to the -ineXcusable
outrage" perpetrated by the Russians on
the Hull trawlers. He said that he be-
lieved that it would be impossible for either
the British or American navy to make
such terrible blunder. but that II either
of them did its Government would i'm
mediately make ample apology. make
every reparation In its power, punish the
responsible officers, and make every pos
sible security against the recurrence OF
such an affair.
This statement ELECTED loud cheers.
Continuing, the speaker said that he had
not the slightest doubt that the Gar and
the Russian nation would feel the same
remorse that the British and Americans
would In similar circumstances and that
they would take the same action to clear
themselves.
Lord Selborne said many appropriate and
pleasant things about the American navy,
from which, he declared, the British were
most willing to learn. American war
ships could not visit the United Kingdom
too often.
Admiral Jewell made a speech, In which
he thanked God the day had come when
neither the British nor the American navy
could be jealous Of the others development.

Thus tho incident win be closed with the
ardent hope that another will not occur In
the course Of the Baltic fleets journey to

Previous to the receipt Of press reports
OF the Cars action, the greatest anxiety
wis felt at the Department. With the
exception Of cable despatch from Spencer
Eddy. Charge d'ATaires at st. Petersburg,
reporting that the Russian Government had
received the British demands and was con-
sidering them. no word was received from
abraadS- Secretary Hay called early at the
Department and had a conference with the
President before departing for New York
In the opinion OF the Department the
report OF Admiral Rojestvensky to the
CHR will have little effect on R,lssia's
action whatever explanation may be forth
coming of the attack on the fishing fleet,
Whether Admiral Rojestvensky believed
the fishing smacks to be Japanese torpedo
boats, or whether tho attack was made by
subordinate officers without his knowledge,
the elect was the same and the reparation
must DO rs ample "a though the attack
were made by direct order OF the Admiral.
Press reports during the day stated
that the Golfers of the Russian feet had
arrived NJ NlRO, anu IL IN, lh'i'ioi' oN
sumed that within the next twenty-four
hours some OF the warships will arrive
at that port, in which case a report will no
doubt be forwarded to St. Petersburg.
The Russian Government has been try
ing all day to get into communication
with Admiral Rojestvensky. His report
of the North Sea affair is naturally awaited
with great interest. hut, as stated, it will

Russia In its amends to Great Britain.
Much interest is felt here az to the reports
that drunkenness is widely prevalent in
the Russian fleet among both officers
and men, but 1t is not expected that Admiral
Rojestvenaky will enlighten the world in
this regard
An official OF tho Government said to-
day that he had seen reports received
from foreign officer who had twice boarded
the Russian cruiser Askold at Shanghai,
during the complications following the
escape Of that vessel from Port Arthur.
and that on both occasions officers and
crew were in Il state of beastly intoSi ca
ton. The drinking of vodka and cham
payne to excess is widely reported to
be weakness of Russians during the
present war, both anoat and ashore and no
doubt otherwise inexplioable blunders may
thus become Ineligible.

here to learn that the Russian Admiralty has

Our afterthought is that il would
have been better for the boy had he
exercised all night in his room with
balls Of paper in his bands in place OF
dumb-beiis.
It may be that an exercise Of deep
breathing in the morning would have
reduced the pneumonia to a common
