People Deeply. ResentfuI.

The deep resentment of the whole
public, however, is reflected by an in
cident at the Victoria station last
night on the arrival of Count Benken-
dorff from the continent. There is
no attempt anywhere among men OF
responsibility to magnify the occur
renee into deliberate act of war, but
in view of the present inability to
find an explanation there is being
poured upon the heads of the officers
of the squadron a flood of invective
and insinuation, though incompe-
tence first and thereafter complete
panic are the most generally accept
ed explanations.
Nothing Official from Russia.

HOSTILE. DEMONSTRATION

a.# AGAINST AMBASSADORS
London, Oct. 25.-There was a hos

The fact that it had been decided DUR
ing the day to prepare semi-off1c1ai
note expressing the regret OF the Rus
sian government and its Willingness
to make full reparation' as soon as
the responsibility is fixed was com
municated by the Associated Press to
Lord Lansdowne and was the first
information on the subject that he
had received from st. Petersburg.
The absence during the day of Count
Benkendorff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, necessarily caused some delay,
but the Russian charge d'affairs, who
called at the foreign Office on request
by note from Lord Lansdowne, unofi-
cially expressed deep regret and, as
far as it was possible for him to go,
the Russian government. Lord
Lansdowne in this interview told M
Sansonoff, the charge, that he desired
to see Ambassador Benkendorff
Tuesday morning. Lord Lansdowne
asked Sansonoff if he could offer any
explanation of the affair and the lat
ter replied that he only knew what
had appeared in the papers and that
he had not received any word up to
that time from ST. Petersburg. Lord
Lansdowne gave no suggestion as to
what might be done in the matter.
m Obviously a Mistake.
At the Russian embassy it was
stated that "the whole affair was SO
obviously mistake, from whatever
cause, that Russia's course was plainly
dictated, namely, an apology and
ample compensation"
All Eyes on the Gar.
All eyes are now turned toward st.
Petersburg, awaiting word from the
Russian government.
Earl Onslow, president of the board
of agriculture, speaking in Stirling
shire last night, said it would be well
if explanations were not sought for
this extraordinary incident" until the
country had some authentic informa-
ton. The whole affair, he said, seem
ed SO unaccountable that one could
not help feeling sure there would be
an explanation of what must have
been gigantic bIunder. He added
that the country might rely upon one
thing, namely that the emperor of
Russia "who is known throughout the
world for his feelings of humanity
could not fail to be depressed by such
an incident"
Missing Trawlers Safe.
The actual casualties during the one
sided bombardment Off Dogger DanR
can be correctly stated since the ar
rival at London last evening of the
carrying ship Swift, reporting the safe
ty Of the missing trawlers. The
Swift left the fleet at 10 a. m. October
"a. Her captain says:
Not Slightest Warning.
"The Russians gave not the slight
est warning prior to the commence
ment of the firing. The admiral Of the
fishing fleet sent up a rocket of warn
ing and then the firing commenced
He again sent up four green rockets
but this only seemed to increase the
bombardment. The poor marksman
ship of the Russian gunners was the
only thing that saved the entire fleet
within the range of searchlights and
guns"

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1904-10-31

London, Oct. 25.-Great Britain yes
terday sent a long and urgent note
to the Russian government officially
detailing the circumstances Of the
amazing and unexplained attack by
the Russian second Pacific squadron
during the night of october q on the
British fishing boats in the North sea.
The text of the note has not been
given out, burt it is officially stated
from foreign officials that it contains
the significant announcement that:
"The situation is one, which, in the
opinion of his majestys government
does not brook delay"
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon-
strative. AS usual the lingo element
demands war, and even in official
quarters some go so far as to say
that it may be necessary to stop the
Pacific fleet pending the settlement
of the whole affair, though this ex-
IRENE measure, it is believed, will
not be necessary. Every where there
is evidence of the very positive opin-
ion that this is no time for the usual
diplomatic dilly-dallying, that there
must be no delay and no limit set by
Russia to her apology or the extent
of compensation for the sufferers by
what. King Edward himself terms,
''the understandable action" of the
Baltic squadron commanders. The

That grew In gardens sweet and old
Beneath those skies OF misty gold
That made the Summers seem divine
In meadows by the Brandywine.
Call back the breezes warm and sweet
That drowsed across the yellow wheat
And made the sylvan hollows ring
With music light as dryads sing.
With music faint and fairy-flne,
In meadows by the Brandywine.
Dear Memory, call back again
The soft and silver wralths OF rain
That bent the buttercups and swayed
The sleepy ciover-heads and made
The hosts OF dancing daisies shine
In meadows by the Brandywine.
Can black the glow-worm's elhn fire
That wavered where the marshy choir
Made reedy music ghostly-light
Across the fragrance OF the night
Till lucent stars began to shine
Ger the meadows by the Brandywine.

Bring tears for you tonight. while yet

More than a dream,--a dream.--to me.

Christian Women and Fashion.
