THE NORTH SEA INCIDENT.
Hague Court to Adjust Russian Out
raae on British Fishing Boats.

There Is to be no war on account OF
the North sea incident. That Is the
outlook now. For several days II
seemed as If hostilities might COM
mence at any moment: but diplomacy
got the better of the situation, and
England has agreed to a Russian prop
osition that the whole matter be sub
mitted to the Hague tribunal.
The official report Of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky, the commander Of the
Russian fleet, was not given out until
after the arrival Of the fleet at Vigo,
Spain. Already, however, the admi-
rails version had been unofficially pub
lished and the public was prepared to
receive it without surprise.
Before the admirars report came out,
Great Britain had demanded Of Russia,
first, an apology; second, compensa-
ton to the owners Of the damaged ves-
sells and the families Of the killed. and
injured fishermen, and third, punish
ment of the Russian officers guilty OF
the outrage. The reply Of Russia was
to the effect that she would willingly
make all reasonable reparation; but
she would first ask that the matter be
thoroughly investigated through the
Hague tribunal.
There have been reports to the effect
that France had a great deal to do
with an amicable settlement Of the
trouble; France and Russia have a
thorough understanding with each 9TH
err and it is understood that France
notified Great Britain that she would
not show favor.
The story Of Admiral Rojestvensky
is to the effect that his fleet was actu-
ally attacked by torpedo boats, and
that one Of the torpedo boats was sunk
by the fleet, while the other made its
escape. This story is not believed at
all in England, but since the Russians
have made such claim the matter has
become a subject of investigation.
Under the terms Of the agreement
arrived at between the Russians and
British the Russian fleet or at least a
part of it must remain at Vigo, Spain,
until the conclusion Of the investiga-
ton.
The Japanese authorities hoot at the
possibility of the idea that there might
have been Japanese torpedo boats In
the North sea. They say they actual
ly had none there, and it is under
stood that they have given Great Brit
ain solemn assurance to that effect. In

THE telephone systems which reach
almost every part of the United States
will probably play a more important
part in gathering election returns next
week than has ever been known be-
fore. The telephone helped wonder
fully four years ago; but the country
is covered more completely now than
It was then, and there is reason to ex-
pect that within less than twelve
hours after the close of the polls the
country will have positive intelligence
as to whether Roosevelt or Parker Is
to be the next president.

THERE is good reason to believe that
the United States and Great Britain
have a well-defined understanding on
the bass Of offensive and defensive
alliance, and it has been suggested
that a war between Russia and Great
Britain is almost certain to involve the
United States.

The Hairs of the Head.

Red-haired people are less subject to
badness than others. A doctor ex-
plains the matter thus: The hair of
the red-headed is relatively thick, one
red hair being almost as thick as five
or three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is well matched, where.
as with the same number Of fair hairs
one is comparatively bald. 1t takes
nearly 100000 fair and 10000 brown
hairs to cover adequately an ordinary
head.

BIRD CAME TO COMFORT HER.

Strange Story Told by Jewish Woman
Mourning Her Husbands Death.
Mrs. Abram d. Davis, of 436 Ash
land avenue, tells a strange story. Her
husband, who was a prominent mer-
chant, died ten days ago, and she, in
accordance with the customs Of the
Jewish religion, retired to a mourning
chamber with her sister-in-law, Mrs.
II. Friedenberg, of Bradford, Pa.
The period of religious mourning ex-
pired at o'clock yesterday morning.
and just at that hour a bird as large
as sparrow and as black as night
flew out Of the gas grate,' which was
burning, and alighted at Mrs. Davis's
feet. Both women tried to scare the
bird away by waving their hands at
it, but it stayed three minutes, hop
ped about on table and finally van
ished through the front door.
Mrs. Davis, who had been grief
stricken because of the death of her
husband, to whom she had been mar
ried thirty years, became cheerful at

a message direct from God telling her
that she should be comforted and that
all would be well. An examination of
the chimney showed that the bird must
have come down the hot chimney
through hole about an inch square.
Small blackbirds are foreign to these
parts, and cynical persons say 1t must
have been a sparrow with coat of

ted stir in the fashionable district
where she lives. One Of the persons

THE ScRAPPY LITTLE JAPPY.

When we first observed the yellow little
fellow from Japan,
With his satins, flowers and silks we
grew acquainted.
We imagined him as standing in a gar
den with a fan,
Nigh a dainty paper mansion, nicely
painted.
But he offered no suggestion of = war
ship or a gun,
Or deed of martial valor, fiercely
scrappy;
Or the military neatness shown beneath
the rising sun
In the plucky little, lucky little Jappy.
When first upon the Yalu he destroyed
the poor Chinese,
He displayed for modern war passion
ready:
He took to shells, torpedo boats and war
ships with the ease
OF spunky little duckling in an eddy.
Later, when we stormed Pekin, the Jap
was first upon the grounds,
With dash that made the god Of war
feel happy
You were sure a revelation to the mill
tary nations,
Oh, you fiery little, wiry little Jappy.
Lately, when he bearded Russia with de-
mands to right wrong,
We remarked, "Be careful, kid-we
would advise, sir,
That the bear is fierce and shaggy, that
the Czar is cruel and strong
Better look for something nearer to
your size, SIR"
But the youngster, like a demon, clutch.
ed the windpipe of the bear,
Till his mighty paws were paralyzed
and frappe.
Now her battleships lie battered, and her
banners torn and tattered,
By the spunky little, chunky little
Jappy.

Latest Electrical Novelty.

Down near Atlantic City, N. J.,
there has been in successful operation
for several months an experimental
trolley road minus the trolley. More
astonishment still there is no third
rail or storage battery to be seen on
this unique bit of road. Without any
apparent means Of obtaining the all
important electric current, motor cars
will draw 2OO,OO0-pound load on this
road. OF course, tie secret of it all
lies in the application of a new sys-
TEN. Every sixteen feet a point of
connection Is established midway be-
tween the rails where a metal button
projects above box through which
passes the powerful current carried
along wires in a subway. A person
might step on this button and one Of
the rails at the same time and not
receive shock, but, as the car passes
over, powerful magnet underneath
attracts the button and in raising it
establishes the circuit which supplies
the motor with enough of the essential
fluid to propel the car along the six
teen feet of track to another point Of
contact. The saving Of expenses in
installation and maintenance over
that Of the old systems, the freedom
from overhead wires which so seri-
ously interfere with the fighting of
fires in the cities, and the immunity
from fatal shocks which 1t insures are
factors which will no doubt bring
about its rapid adoption.
