she was very much more beautiful than
Jessie and wondered that he had never
known it before.
After six weeks of this sort Of thing
Belle sighed prettily and said she sup
posed he had spent quite enough time
and money on her to salve her hurt and
that he had better resume his atten-
lions to Jessie. or course she would
miss him. she added with dropping lids,
but she trusted she was.no Insurer to
claim more than her debt. Dickey
went away with an odd sense of some
thing lost tugging at his heart The
next evening he came intending to go
into the parlor and begin his rivalry
with John, but somehow the lonely lit
tie figure in the hammock drew him
inside, and he spent the evening as he
had spent the preceding onos--in the
moonlight.
''Goodby," he said at parting. ITO
morrow l really must break into Johns
game and recover my lost ground
She sighed and then laughed so
quickly that Dickey could scarcely
separate the two. He stood confused
for moment, and when he recovered
himself he found that he was still
holding her hand and that she was
watching him shyly. He went away
with his brain in whirl. In his eff
forts to sooth her feelings had he made
the child love him? Far into the night
he sat smoking and thinking, and in
the morning the queer feeling was still
in his breast, and Blackstone lay open
but unread before him all day. In the
afternoon as lie left his office there
was ii connection al the nearest street
corner, and runaway horse dashed
into view, Raging a dogcart in which
sat two girls, Jessie and Belle. The
quick turn about the corner sent the
cart careening on one wheel, and al
most as Dickey recognized the occu-
pants they were spilled in the dust.
With cry Dickey rushed forward and,
passing one PROSTATE form, caught the
other in his arms with words of solicit
tous endearment. But the figure drew
resolutely away.
This Is not jessie. i MS Is -
But Bickey only held her the closer.
Not Jessie, but the girl l love, the
only girl l ever really loved! Let John
take care of Jessie. Are you hurt,
dear?"
There was a contentel sigh against
his shoulder. II haven't any pain now,
not even in my heart which has often
ached at your indifference"
John and Jessie are TO be married
in the winter" she told him later.
"I'm glad of it, Well dance at their
wedding" he laughed. But, dear, Im
only a poor young lawyer, and
"And I'm ages too young to marry
so I'll wait n whole year for you, and
if you give up smoking and send me
only one box of chocolates week you
can save no end of money"
And so it was arranged, and when
Miss Delaney next spoke Of the lack OF
artistic finish to that theatrical per-
Torrance Dickey stoutly declared the
Finish was the finest on earth" and
held to his point.

NO INFORMATION RECEIVED.
Russian Authorities Dumbfounded by
Action of Fleet.


Action of Fleet.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-No official
information from Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, commander of the second
Pacific squadron, or from other Rus
sian sources had reached the authori-
ties here as this dispatch is written
in regard to the firing by the squadron
upon British fishing boats early Sat
urday morning in the North sea.
The authorities are dumbfounded by
the press reports of the affair and
cannot credit the accounts as present
ed. For this reason the censor de-
clines to allow the publication of the
foreign accounts of the affair.
In the highest quarters, where the
reports were circulated, the gravity of
the affair was fully realized and the
incident was greatly deplored. That
Russia will offer apologies and repara-
tion and make honorable amends ad
mits of no doubt, but with the infiamed
state of public opinion in Great Britain
and coming on the heels of the sink
ing by the Vladivostok squadron of the
British steamer Knight Commander
and the Red sea incidents it is recog-
niZed that the situation may be acute
unless the cool heads among the Brit.
ish statesmen proceed calmly. Unfor-
tunately in meeting such a situation
the Russian governmental machinery
is so cumbersome as to render the
prompt action which such a situation
seems to demand almost impossible
In diplomatic circles the affair has
created a big sensation. Strange to
say it did not have any effect on the
bourse, fours closing where they did
on Saturday.

TROLLEY CARS IN COLLISION.
Eighteen Persons Injured Near West
boro, Mass.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 25.--In a
rear-end collision between two trolley
cars on the Westboro and Marlboro
street railway, two and one-half miles
west of Westboro, eighteen people
were Injured. 1t Is thought all of the
Injured will recover.
Slippery rails are accountable for
the accident. A Worcester Consolidat-
ed street railway car was being sent
to Worcester for repairs and when on
& hill the car kicked. Before the mo-
tornan could set control of it the car
was running backward down the hill
Al the toot of the hill on a curve. il
was met by the regular car from MARI
bofo TO Worcester which was making
good speed to climb the hill
The cars crashed together with ter
rife force demolishing the vestibules
on both cars and ripping every seat
from it's taaJonings on the Westboro
car, which had twenty passengers
aboard. There were no passengers
on the other car a panic among the

WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE
REASON FOR RUSSIAN ATTACK
ON FISHING FLEET NOT
ASCERTAlNED

London, Oct. 25.-The Russian Bal
tic feet, which left Danish waters on
Friday, ran into a fleet of English
trawleTs early Saturday morning and
without any apparent cause, as far as
has been ascertained, deliberately
opened fire on them.
AS a result of this extraordinary
action at least one and probably two
vessels have been sunk and several
damaged. Two men were killed out
right and many others wounded.
AT the time of the occurrence, /
q. m, Saturday, the fishing fleet, in
Guiding about fifty vessels, was fishing
about 220 miles east by north of Spurn,
when several large vessels came into
view. The weather was fine but slight
ly haZy. The strange ships loomed up
larger and larger in the darkness and
proved to be the Baltic fleet, consist
ing of about fifteen ships, the depar-
ture of which for the Far East has al
ready been announced.
Subjected to Fierce Bombardment.
The warships advanced in a line
Half the squadron passed the fishing
vessels without any demonstration.
The glare of searchlights suddenly was
turned on the fishing boats from the
second half of the squadron. Then the
stiffness was shattered by the firing of
heavy guns and the Mortified fishermen
found themselves subjected to a fierce
Several vessels were struck and
panic seized the entire feet. Attempts
were made, by burning green light,
TO convey to the Russians the irarm-
less nature of the fishing boats opera
lions, but without avail. The firing
continued for twenty minutes, until
he Russians had steamed out of range.
Then 1t was found that several of the
.rawlers had been severely injured
The greatest havoc occurred on board

ound decapitated and other members

AS yet 1t Is impossible to discover

PARTICULAR STRESS LAID ON
FAILURE OF WARSHIPS TO
ASSIST FISHERMEN.
EXPLANATION OF AFFAIR LkCKlAG
NO REASON AScERTAlNAELE FOR
THE ATTACK ON THE HELP
LESS LITTLE FLEET.

London, Oct. 25.-The British gov.
sernment has sent urgent notes of pro-
test to the Russian government on the
subject of the Russian attack on the
British fishing fleet in the North sea
through both Ambassador Hardinge
and the Russian ambassador in Lon
don. Special stress is laid on the cal
lousness displayed by the Russians in
not going to the assistance of the fish
Nmen. Lord Lansdowne asks that i'm
mediate redress shall be made.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs Lans-
downe reached London duging the aft
ernoon and, after gathering the latest
details known at the foreign Office re-
garding the firing on the British fish
ing boats by the Russian squadron,
proceeded to Buckingham palace,
where he had lengthy interview with
King Edward. The latter later tele-
graphea message of sympathy to the
mayor of Hull.
Lord Lansdowne is expected, in ad-
dition 10 making the usual claim for
indemnity for the vessels sunk COM
pensation for the wounded and pen
sions for the widows of those killed,
to demand most ample apology and
assurances that other British shipping
which may fall in with the Russian
squadron shall not be submitted to
similar treatment. These demands, it
is believed at the Russian embassy
here, will speedily be granted. =
Unusual activity prevailed at the ad-
throughout the morning, but
owing TO the absence of Lord Selborne,
first lord OF the admiralty, no action
was taken. A strong squadron OF
cruisers lies at Portsmouth ready to
sail at few hours notice. The Med
iterranean feet is off Venice and the
home squadron is cruising off Scot
land. Thus in the quite unlikely event
OF Great Britain making a naval dem
onstration her forces are in peculiarly
good positions.
The affair, though the sole topic of |
among all classes at the |
British capital, has not created the |
lproar which might have been ex-
pected.
In the absence of Count Bencken-
dorff the Russian charge called at the
foreign Office during the afternoon to
express deep regret at the occurrence.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1904-10-25

bringing tne -.5Ns OF the nrlng on tue
fishing boats, said:
Between 2G0 and 500 shots were
fired. The first vessel in line did most
of the firms. But | think two others
also fired several shots. Our whole
feet was ander searchlights, which
nearly blinded us. The Russians came
within less than quarter of mile
from us. We could see them plainly.
Captain Pealter oI the trawler Mag
pie declared il was impossible for the
Russians 70 mistake the trawlers for
torpedo boats. He added:
The whole affair lasted about twen-
ty minutes. Not quarter of their
shots could have taken effect When
the firing ceased the ships disappeared
as quickly as they came up
Every sailor knows that this part
OF the sea is a fishing ground and no
one could have mistaken our fleet with
it's special light as signals
OF the 100 fishing vessels through
which The Russian squadron passed
five are still unaccounted for and some
anxiety exists regarding their safety.
