EXCUSE TO RECALL FLEET.
jspanese cpinio. CT TIE lorth Sea
,Is.nAnt.

Toxic, Cat. o0.-A y-Gnipent officer
on the JaEaneSe natal al4f said dur
ing the day that lie believed the Rus
sian Ealtic feet would not come far on
its way east. He Gil not believe that
the Russian gove. nment desires to
send it at all. 1t was likely that the
trawler affair in the No IN sea would
be used as an excuse Iof the recall of
Ae fleet. Instancing reasons upon
which he based his belief he says that
the fleet commander, Admiral Rojest-
vensky, was sick when he left port
and it seemed very improbable that
the Russian government, ii their in
tentions were serious, would send a
sick admiral to navigate many thou
sands of miles to combat superior
force at the end of long cruise.
IF there were any torpedo boats
among the trawling fleet which was
fired upon by the fleet it was the duty
of the Russian officer In command"
he said, Ito pursue them and investi-
gate the base of their dispatch. Rus
sia by delay was seeking to render
the diplomatic situation with England
more critical to afford plausible ex-
cuse to recall it's feet"

JESTvENskY'S STORY.
COMMISSION NOT YET isREED ON

MUNicATlON BETWEEN THE
TWO GOVERNMENTS.

London, Oct. 31.-Profound satisfac-
has been reached and the entire GER
iainty that the result of the commits
sion of inquiry will be to diseredit
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky' state
ments anent the presence Of torpedo
boats among the North sea fishing
fleets marks the comments of the Lon
don afternoon newspapers almost uni
yersally. The admiral's story, it is
pointed out, has the great advantage
that it Is capable of precise proof or
disproof.
THE Russian admiral can only make
good his case by producing the vessel
whose presence he alleges was among
the trawlers," says the Westminster
Gazette. This feeling that the British
contention will be upheld pervades all
classes and disposes the public to
calmly await the verdict.
Trading on the Stock Exchange
opened buoyantly and prices consider
ably advanced all round.
The composition of the international
commission is the immediate subject
of communications passing between
ST. Petersburg and London. 1t has
been suggested that it shall be COM
prised OF five admirals, French, Rus
sian and English and two from smaller
powers, possibly Denmark and Hol-
and, To be nominated by their re-
Spective governments. Nothing yet,
however. has definitely been decided.
No American member has been sug-
gested. though there might be an
opening therefor in the proposal that
one law jurist from neutral power
shall be included in the commission.
Thus Tar no time limit has been
6xed for the end of the inquiry. 1t is
now understood upon the conclusion of
the inquiry now proceeding at Vigo
All the Russian ships will be allowed
to proceed, only the material witnesses
being detained.
The board of trade inquiry at Hull
will be confined to ascerraining the
circumstances from the fishermen's
point OF view and assessing the dam
ase. The Russian embassy has not
yet decided whether to accept the gov
srninent's invitation TO send a repre-
sentative. report of the evidence
will be forwarded to the international
commission. The board OF trade III

action o. the Russian squadron.

SITUATION is CRITICAL.
Russians Admit Port Arthur Is in Des-
perate Straits.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Although
reports from foreign sources regarding
the critical situation of the Port Ar
thur garrison, and a renewal of the
japanese attack on the stronghold
have created public anxiety over the
fate of that fortress, which, it must be
confessed, had almost been overlooked
by the public during the past few days,
owing to the absorbing interest taken
In the negotiations over the North sea
incident, the government simply states
1t is without direct information, though
it recognizes the fact that the situation
In the fortress is growing daily more
difficult. 1t maintains the belief that
the fortress will be able to hold out.
The refusal of General Stoessel to sur
render is considered here to be what
might be expected. He is man who
will fight as long as finger in Port
Arthur is able to pull trigger.

ANTICIPATED ATTACK.
Rcjestvensky Continues to Discuss
North Sea Affair.

Vigo, Spain, Oct. 31.-The Russian
squadron is still in port. Upon the
main question relative to the identity
of the Japanese torpedo boats said to
have been seen among the Hull fishing
fleet during the night of Oct. 2l-22
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky said to the
Associated Press:
"Rumors had reached me that the
Japanese would attack the squadron
and when l suddensly saw that night
the two torpedo boats between our
two divisions and heard the noise of
the firing of torpedoes | doubted not
that they were Japanese
Prince Keretelli, an officer on board
the battleship Emperor Alexander Ill.
told me that the transport Areadaur
was surrounded by eight torpedo boats
or vessels carrying torpedo tubes. The
Areadaur signalled her danger and
when our battleships advanced we did
not for one moment suppose that the
attacking vessels could be fishermen.

BIG AREA DEVASTATED.
Fire Raging in Portion Of the Blue
Ridge Mountains.

Belvidere, N. j., Oct 30.-A big fire
Is raging for distance of twenty
miles eastward from Wind gap, affect
ing very large portion of the Blue
Ridge mountains. The blaze started
ON Wednesday and has been famed
by the strong winds until at some
points it is a raging furnace. Every
thing is as dry as tinder and the
flames run through the dry grasses
and deyour the leaves as though they
had been soaked in oil. The small
game may be seen fleeing from the
burning districts and much of 1t will
be destroyed. The fire wardens have
several hundred men at work trying
to stay the progress of the flames, but
their efforts are almost futile. Fires
have been started In an opposite direc-
tion and 1t Is hoped in this way that
1t will be overcome. A great deal of fine
timber has been destroyed and the
volume of smoke affiicts the whole
valley Over 10000 acres have thus
far been devastated.

permanent and that II Is due to impe
rial dissatisfaction with his services.

the ladies and boys clubs. The ex-

follows: Donations of money to

ciate the same very much. Any
donations of money, books or maga-
zines will be received and taken care
of by any of the committee named
