NOTE TO RUSSIA.
British Government Demands Apology
For Attack.

VI SttdSNs
LONDON-Great Britain has sent a
long and urgent note to the Russian
government, officially detailing the
circumstances of the amazing and IN
explained attack by the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron during the night
OF october 81 on British fishing boats
in the North sea. The text of the
note has not beer given out. but 1t
Is officially stated from the foreign
Office that 1t contains the significant
announcement that the situation Is
one which, in the opinion OF his ma
jesty's government, does not brook de-
lay.
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon-
strative. AS usual the lingo element,
democrats and even some officials &c
so far as to say that 1t may be nee
essary to stop the Pacific fleet pend
ing settlement of the whole affair,
though this extreme measure, it is
believed, will not be necessary. Ev-
erywhere there is evidence of the
very positive opinion hat this Is no
time for the usual diplomatic dilly-
dallying; that there must be no de-
lay inc no limit set by Russia to its
apology or the extent of compensation
for sufferers by what King Edward
himself terms "the il~nwarrantable &C
ton" Of the Baltic squadron COM
manders.
The king sent the following mes
sage Of sympathy to the mayor Of
Hull:
From Francis Knollys, Bucking-
ham Palace, Oct. "a, 19O4.-To His
Worship, the Mayor of Hull: The king
commands me to say that he has
heard with profound sorrow of the
u~nwarrantable action which has been
committed against the North sea fish
ing fleet and asks you to express the
deepest sympathy of the queen and
his majesty with the families of those
who have suffered from this most la
mentable occurrence.
"KNOLLYS."
(Francis Knollys, baron of Faver
sham, is the private secretary of King
Edward.)
The deep resentment of the whole
British public, however, is reflected
by the incident at the Victoria sta
ton Monday night on the arrival OF
Count Benckendorff from the CONT
nent. There is no attempt anywhere
among men Of responsibility to mag
nifty the occurrence into a deliberate
act of war, but in view of the pres
ent inability to find an explanation
there is being poured upon the heads
of the officers of the squadron a flood
Of invective and i%nsinuation, though
incompetence first and thereafter
complete panic is the most generally
accepted explanation. Thus far no of
fetal word has been received from st
Petersburg as to the attitude of the
Russian government.
The fact that it had been decided
during the day to prepare a semi-offi
cial note expressing the regret of thu
Russian government and its willing
ness to make full reparation so sooI

Press to Lord Lansdowne and wa

General Attack on Port Arthur Be-
uan Oct. "a.

-
ST. PETERSBURG-The military
situation has not developed anything
Of great Importance, although the
fight at the Buddhist Temple hill on
October 81 appears to have been a
decidedly heavy engagement. 1t prob
ably Indicate that final moves on both
sides are now occurring preparatory
to another long and serious battle.
Viceroy Alexieff is now on the way
to st. Petersburg. The nature OF his
reception here Is the food for much
speculation. Some of his friends still
cling to the idea that he will be made
chancellor Of the empire, with his
residence in the Winter palace, where,
1t is said, a suite of apartments has
already been prepared for him. On the
other hand, many declare that his
political career is practically over and
that his reception at st. Petersburg,
while officially cordial, will mark the
end of his political ascendancy. 1t Is
rumored that the vicerOyalty OF the
Caucasus will be revived for his spec
ial benefit, which would constitute a
complimentary and comfortable sort
of exile.
General Kourpatkin has telegraphed
as follows, under date of October 30:
81 have received today no dispatch
reporting encounters with the enemy.
During a cavalry reconnaissance yes
terday, after an infantry fight sup
ported by artillery, we occupied the

envy has retired from Sindiapu. On
October 20 our c~hausseurs, with in
significant losses, retained a village
a kilometer west of Chenlianpu
against a violent Japanese lombard
ment."
General Kouropatkin also records
other outpost affairs, including the
Russian re-occupation of the village
of Tynsin, a short distance south OF
Luidziatung, whence they had been
previously expelled by the Japanese
who burned the village.
CHE FOO-The third general attack
on Port Arthur began October "a, ac
cording to unimpeachable authority
On October 26 Japanese shells set fire
to the only smokeless powder maya
zine in Port Arthur. Portions of the
town caught fire and the conf1agratior
continued the whole day. On October
rs the Japanese captured the Russian
trenches on the slope of Rihluns
mountain, also a fortified position
protecting that fortress. The japanese
consider the progress Of the siege t.
be highly satisfactory.

while all my customers who have

as TO how the name is pronounced,
"Hyomei is pronounced just as II IL

cent on the first syllable"
"A great many come TO my store

pepredations a. the Fair Grounds.

Discovery was made last week that
during the winter several OF tne
buildings on the Valley Fair grounds
have been broken into and CONSIDER

netrators of this vandalism are not
known but the fair officials have their
susnjcions and will use every means TO
trace the matter. When w. d. GU
son visited the grounds last FRIDAY

in the vietua4ing department he found
that the small building in the rear OF
the grandstand, which is used during
the fair as a candy store, had oeeh
entered evidently by the means OF an
axe. In this building were stored an

ed that the thieves had taken 10 large
boilers and carried them into the am
ing room under the grandstand where
ne conner bottoms were taken Off and
carried away. Several dozen tumblers
and a quantity of knives and forks
were also missing. Further examfna-
tion revealed that the building near
the gate, used for the treasurer's ana
secretary's offices, had also been en-
tered and its contents were strewn
about the floor, although the only ar
ticles missing were number OF SIX
caps formerly worn by the drivers OF
trotting horses. The cigar STAND OF
Leonard & Roess had also been broken
into and the backs of several snow
cases were missing. Appearances
would seem to indicate that the work
was that of youthful offenders for IN
several instances articles OF Value
were left while others that might be
useS as ornaments were taken.
