RoJEsTvENsKYs REPORT.

St Petersburg, Oct 2S.-The morning papers to-day print Vice Admiral Ro- jestvensky's report of the North sea incident, with extensive comments, the tone of which does not mean con ciliatiOn. The Russian admiraPs re port is accepted without reservation as the true explanation of the happen ings at Dogger Bank, and stress is laid upon the concurrence of Vice Ad- miral Rojestyensky's report that he was attacked by torpedo boats with the declaration of the fishermen that the torpedo boats, of which the Rus sian fleet had none. ran in close to the traiwlers before heading for the vessels of the Russian squadron. Attention Is called also to the statement by the fishermen that small vessel remain ed six hours at the scene of the diSas- ter, while Vice Admiral Rojestvensky reports that the whole Russian squad ron proceeded to the southward.
 While it is the general disposition to throw the blame for all the loss of life upon the Japanese, some of the newsDapers do not hesitate to intimate that 1t is Great Britain's private af- fair
 The Novosti boldly suggests the pos sibiIity that the torpedo boats de scribed by the Russian commander were boats loaned to the Japanese by the British government.
 The Novoe Vremya says that, not withstanding Great Britain's numer1- cal superiority upon the sea, there is no need to Haunt the fact in the face of the Russian people. who are able to await eyentualities, trusting in God. The paper adds:
 .The Japanese lesson given in the early days of the siege of Port Arr thur has not fallen upon sterile ground. The Japanese now find it harder to surprise Russian fleet than 1t was formerly.
 The Russ congratulates Vice Admir- al Rojestvensky upon locating off the Japanese attack" and says his report, as it was expected 1t would. puts an entirely different face upon the whole matter.

sToEssRLs MEssAGE.

Shanghai, Oct 2S.-A private letter from Port Arthur, dated October 2l, received here to-day, says:
 General Stoessel wired the Russlah emperor and court recently: I now bid you all goodbye forever. Port Arthur is my grave.
 "General Stoessel has instilled the garrison of the beleaguered fortress with the spirit that to court glorious death is preferable to equalization.
 ssThe Japanese shells are intiictlng great damage to the Russian fleet ln the harbor and to the notifications. The arsenal with its contents of ann intuition and small arms has been de- stroyed and preparations are beins made for the last deadly struggle at close quarters. The water supply hav- ina been cut off, wells are being sunk. Provisions are scarce. Only timed meats being left, the soldiers hold gala feasts on horses killed by the shells.
 ssGeneral simonoff, 1t is said. would surrender. but is overruled by Gen. eral Stoessel
 "Certain troops included in the gar rison have to be closely watched at present for fear of desertion or treach- cry.
 FThe field and naval hospitals are crowded and hygienic, conditions are becoming desperate. The bombard- ment at times is so incessant that it is impossible to bury the dead to any depth. Over one-half of the original garrison is dead, wounded or sick.
 "The high angle at which their artil- lery fire is directed by the Japanese has practically destroyed the new town.
 When the fleet attempted to break through the blockade some time ago the garrison was to have made des- perate sortie and inflict as much dam> age as possible and, if necessary, ct7 pitulate. The failure of the feet to escape frustrated the plan.
 s''The besiegers are pressing closer daily and it is hard to say how long we can hold out. When the end comes there will be desperate fight and surprise. Thousands of the enemy will perish, as everything is mined"
 This letter was entrusted to native boatman who ran the blockade ana mailed it at Chefoo.
 The recipient is prominent conti- mental business man of this city, with q branch house at Port Arthur.

EQUIPMENT OUTPUT FOR 1908.
Fewer Freight Cars BuiIt-lncrease in
Locomotives.

New York, Jan. During the current
calendar year 5.152 locomotives were built
at the various locomotive works in the
country against 400 last year, accord
ing to figures published by the Railway
Age
This figure is officially correct as COM
plete returns have been received from
every locomotive, building plant in the
United States. The number includes So
electric locomotives. The increase over
1902 is the largest that has ever occurred
in one year. and is possibly due to the
fact that the locomotive works in the
country had such volume of orders
placed during 1902 that they were unable
to make immediate deliveries. and many
of the orders were held over until 1903
Returns from Canada show that fIfty-five
locomotives have been built by two firms.
one of which has only recently begun
operations in analyzing this report is it
interesting to note what This total OF
5.152 really means. by calculating the eX-
penditure involved. At an aSage cost
per locomotive Of S12.e0o the total amount
spent by the railroads for locomotive
power would be approximately So. GOO 90
This figure. of course. does not include
the locomotives that are now built
yearly by railroad companies az their
own shops The following table shows
our figures for locomotive building during
the last twelve years.

in 1904, and the establishment of them
may be classed as a governing influence
in next years finances.
The second influence, partly involved in
the first. is the question OF next years ex-
port trade Are our producers, and nota-
bly, our manufacturers, to enter the neu-
trail markets on the sale of 1900 or on
a scale still larger? Can either the farm
ers Or the manufacturers do this with
home prices for cotton. wheat, steel, and
other commodities, what they are today?
If we can command such trade. we shall
pay in merchandise what is left of the
foreign floating debt contracted by our
corporations.
Third, and in some ways overshadowing
both the other influences, is the problem
of the American election. The generally
restrictive influence of presidential cleo
ton is too well known to need explana-
ton. The unsettled problem is, how far
the usual unsettlement will be aggravat-
ed by the platforms anc policies Of the
opposing parties
