May Be Another Side.
London, Oct 27-Benkendorff paid
another visit to Lansdowne at 8
o'clock this afternoon, presumably to
discuss Rojestvensky's report. This
has caused considerable bewilderment
here, since while the statement that
two torpedo boats were mong the fish.
ing fleet is generally secuted, there is
beginning to be evidence of some dis
position to believe in the possibility
that there is another side to the fish
ermens story.
Previously Fired on Ship.
London, Oct. 27.-The foreign office
regards the statement Of the captain
of the Swedish steamer Aldeharan, at
Gefle, Sweden, from Hull, England, as
being very important in indicating
that the Russians had previously fired
on q defenceless ship, when there was
no question of tle presence of torpedo
boats. 1t is understood that this point
will be brought before Benkendorff
this afternoon.
Gibraltar May Bar Fleet.
London. Oct 27.--While no time
limit for the receipt of Russias reply
has been fixed it is generally under
stood today that the route of the Rus
sian squadron past Gibraltar will be
barred by the Chinese squadron com
manded by Vice Admiral Beresford.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon, Lans-
downe expressed the belief that a
peaceful settlement would be arrived
at.

Anglo-Russian situation excites the
most serious consideration at the for

quarters it is generally expected that
Premier Balfour will make an import

are doing their utmost to secure a

this will have calming influence before

"But whatever the platform and the
candidate may profess 1t is perfectly
clear that the vast proportion OF the
party as at present organized, is op-
posed to the republican principles set
forth in our platform and avowed by
our candidates. They are opposed to
the gold standard; to protection Of
American industries; to all our pro-
gram, foreign and domestic, and their
candidate. if he should happen to be
elected, would be confronted with
chaos at the very outset of his admin
istration.
He has recently made speech
which would be very shirt OF Mes
sus to him if he were ever called on
to carry his words into action. He has
at last come to the point where he is
willing to say we must abandon the
Philippines. In his speech Of accept
ance he acknowledged our responsible
ity for them and said we should give
them self government. His friends, in
great distress of mind cried out to him
that that was the republican doctrine,
and that what he intended to say was
that we had no responsibility for them
and must give them independence.
Certainly. that was what meant, said
the judge-and he wrote something
like it in his letter Of acceptance. But
even that was not enough and ten days
ago he revised his views again and
now declares for the absolute aban-
donment Of the islands and for an i'm
mediate proclamation of our intention
to do so. Among the reasons he gives
for this reckless and ill considered ut
terance are some which show an in
credible carelessness of the facts.
Parker's IncreditabEe Blunders.
"He began by saying they have cost
us $670,000000 and an enormous con-
tinuing sum to keep them; some put
it as nigh as $60,000,000 annually. The
truth, accessible to him and everybody,
is that they have cost not to exceed
$1S9,000,000 and annual disbursements
Of their account is about 100000. He
said further they had cost us 100000
lives, wherein he is wrong to the ex-
tent of about 195,000 But there seems
no limit to his eager credulousness.
Since he put out their fairy figures he
has heard Of Mr.. Atkinson and swal-
lowed without winking his grotesque
estimate that the islands have cost
us twelve hundred millions and that
the present expense is two hundred
millions year. He seems hypnotized
by these vast sums Why should he
stop at millions or billions? We may
reasonably expect this next warning
cry from Esopus will be shouting quad,
rillions to a startled world. He seems
able to believe anything-all he asks
is that it shall be incredible"

Rojestvensky's version is likely to

seem to be indispensable.
British Statesmen Deadlocked.
London, Oct. 27.-Up to this hour
there is no sign Of an end to the dead
lock over the question of the punish
ment OF the Russian officers RESPONSE
BILE for the North Sea tragedy, so the
| Associated Press understands, and as
regards the British demand for their
punishment being an infringement of
Russia's sovereignty and rights. Am
bassador Benckendorff, in his inter-
view with Lord Lansdowne today,
maintained that such punishment must
be taken cn the spontaneous initiative
of the emperor's governm ent and that
demand from foreign power that
Russia shall punish her officers can
not be entertained. On any event he
declared, it was impossible for the
Russian government to mete out pun
ishment without having before it state

officers.
