RUSSIA IS RELIEVED BY
 DEPARTURE OF VESSELS

until he reached Vigo. The explanation offered in the highest circles seems to acquit the admiral of all blame It is pointed out that he coulG not send dis patch by torpedo boat, all craft of that description being ahead of the battleships and cruisers and that he had no alter native except to detach a cruiser. Admir- al Rojestvensky was to apprehensiye of revealing his whereabouts to do this, fear ing an attack in British waters, and so 1t is theorized decided to proceed to Vigo with the whole of the squadron.
 From another reliable source the as sociated press learns that the circum- stances of the firing as detailed by Rus sien officers. closely resemble the facts reported by the admiral of the fishing fleet. When abreast of the trawlers the Russian squadron was formed in two divisions, the cruisers steaming east and the battleships west, the latter going among the fishing fleet and opening fire. Wien nearly clear of the fishing craft, which was heading towards the battle ships some Russian shells flew over the trawlers and struck cruisers, one of which the Aurora, was hit several times, and some of her men wounded, including a priest who died.

POPE PLUS INDIsPosED.
Suffering From Attack of Gout and
 Rheumatic Pains in Legs.

Rome, November Hope Plus, who for days has been slightly indisposed, was today visited by Dr. Lapponi, who found that his holiness was suffering from an attack of gout and rheumatic pains in the legs, the latter caused by sudden changes in the weather.
 Dr. Lapponi advised complete rest, and the pope reluctantly consented to the can celation Of all audiences he had fixed for the next two days. He insisted, however, upon celebrating mass. as this being All Saints day, he said it would afford him the greatest satisfaction. The only per- sons who were permitted to attend this religious function were the pope's private secretary Monsignor Bressan, and his personal valet. The pope's sisters, who are living in Rome, hastened to the vati- can on learning of his illness and per- suaded him to go to bed.

St. Petersburg, November 2.-The news of the departure of Vice Admiral Rojest vensky and his ships from Vigo has con- siderably relieved the tension here The great mass of Russians are quite as sus- picious of Great Britain's motives as Brit ons are of Russians purposes, and there has been considerable apprehension here that Great Britain might use the trawler incident as a pretext for detaining the Baltic squadron.
 This apprehension Is now largely all layed though fears are expressed in some quarters that there may be further com plications before the fleet gets through Suez canal, or around the Cape of Good Hope. The situation. however, Is being more dispassionately discussed, and charges against the fishermen are no longer being acclaimed.
 Allowance is also made for the exas- Operation of Great Brit mover tas seem inly callous actio.. of Admiral Rojestven- sky in going his way after firing on the trawlers and in not reporting the incident

 In this great republic, the efforts to combine national strength with personal freedom is being tried on a scale more gigantic than eyer before in the world s history. Our success will mean much not only for ourselves but for the future of all mankind; and every man or woman in our land should feel the grave re- sponsibility 'esting upon him or her, for in the last analysis this success must depend upon the high average of our individual citizenship, upon the way in which. of us does his duty by himself and his neighbor.
 Now, therefore, I Theodore Roosevelt. President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the 2lth of this November, to be observed as a day of festival and thanksgiving by all the people of the United States at home or abroad, and to recommend that on that day they cease from their ordinary occupations and gather in their several places of worship or in their homes, de- voutly to give thanks unto Almighty God for the benefit he has conferred upon us as individuals and as a nation and to beseech Him, that in the future his divine favor may be continued to us

Washington, November 1.-President Roosevelt has issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation;
 By the President of the United States
 of America--A Proclamation:
 It has pleased Almighty God to bring the American people in safety and honor through another year, and in accord ance with the long unbroken custom handed down to us by our forefathers, the time has come when a special day shall be set apart in which to thank Him who holds all nations in the hollow of His hand for the mercies thus vouchsafed to us.
 During the century and a quarter or our national life we as people have been blessed beyond all others, and for this we owe humble and heartfelt thanks to the author of all blessings. The year that has closed has been one of peace within our own borders as well as be- tween us and all other nations. The har- vests have been abundant and those who work. whether with hand or brain, are prospering greatly. Reward has waite6 upon honest efforts. We have been en- abled to do our duty to ourselves and to others Never has there been time when religious and charitable effort has been more evident. Much has been given us and much will be expected from us We speak of what has been done by this nation in no spirit of boastfulness or vain glory, but with full and reverent realiza- ton that our strength is as nothing un' less we are helped from above.
 Hitherto we have been given the heart lest strength to do the tasks allotted ts us as they severally arise. We are

MIR. PARKER ASKS
 PLAIN QUESTIONS
Grows Dramatic During Speech
 at Jersey City
ARRAlGNS MIR. CORTELY YOU
Says the Trusts Are Furnishing Re- publicans With Money to Control the Result of the
 Election.

New York November 1.-An audience that filled Elks hall Jersey City, N J. to overfiowlng, remained until 1O:55 to greet and listen to Judge Parker tonight. When he appeared they gave him voci- ferrous greeting, lasting seven minutes. A loud-voiced man in the rear of the hall shouted
 Parker hasn't big stick"
 Judge Parker joined in the laugh that followed.
 Judge Parker then began his prepared address and he was intensely earnest and even dramatice at times in his delivery and manner He was frequently inter- rupted by applause. He spoke in part as follows:
 Because we are opposed to the pur- chase of the electorate and have felt 1t our duty to say so those who would cor rupt 1t to the end that their powder to plunder the people may continue, cry cut in this closing hour of the campaign that the business interests would not be safe with a democratic administration.
 This cry is false and those who utter 1t know. We favor a prosperity in which all the people can share.
 We would encourage the accumulation of property and would protect the pres ent possessors of it in that possession, under all circumstances.
 Take Away That Power.
 But we would do all we could to take away from the combinations and trusts that power to oppress the people which they now exercise. In other words, we would put forth every effort to thwart their illegal methods of collecting tribute As have had occasion to say before, and deem it my duty to say again, the trusts are furnishing the money with which they hope to control the election. l am sorry to be obliged to say 1t. If 1t were not true I would not say 1t to gain the presidency or any other earthly reward; ; but it Is true. and that being so. it be- came my duty to warn the people of It.
 This I did in an address to the people on the 24th day of October. more than a week ago. What happened? The President summoned Senator Knox to his presence. From that consultation Knox emerged to give an interview which he said the Presi- dent had approved.

CUT IMPROVEMENT HEARING
 - LAST PUBLIC OPPORTUNITY TOR DISCUSSION.

City Engineer KeiIy's PIan--Some op-
 position to Roads Present PIan--
 Company's stand on Damages
 Bridge to be Covered With Asphalt. The committee on railroads and bridges held It's last public hearing on the application of the Consolidated railroad for permission to proceed with its plans for widening the e"cut' last evening in city hallt The chairman of the committee stated in opening that the committee must report to the board of aldermen next Tuesday evening, and that 1t was not there to hear petitions for damages which the railroad com missioners would hear next week.
 City Engineer Kelly proposed a plan for moving the tracks eastward of their present location. He contended that by sto doing the steep grades which now exist where streets cross the tracks could Dc reduced. The engineer for the railroad company stated that such a change as proposed would mean the outlay Of an enormous sum of money.
 He also stated that if the company's s plans were approved the present grades would not be increased except In one or two cases where 1t was absolutely nec- essary, and then the change would be very slight. He further said that he had been in consultation with City En- gineer Kelly and that they had come to an agreement on several points of difference.
 The chairman of the committee stated that the point in question was whether there was any objection to the granting l of the application of the railroad com pany to proceed. MT. Griswpld, the Union street manufacturer, opposed the proposition, as did General George H. Ford. General Ford desired the conn lmittee to recommend City Engineer Ixellys plan to the board of aldermen for consideration. The opposition seem-
 ed mainly to hinge upon the matter of 1.-the steepness of the grades and the question of damages.
 | Attorney George D. Watrous, for the
 road, made the statement that the road
 would indemnify the city against all i damages and would meet all lawfu lclairns for damages.
 The raiiroad engineer said that it is
 planned to cover the bridges with ar

 breaches would be paved with block.

 Before a crowd of over 5000 Spring field and New Haven broke even in a double-header at savin Rock yesterday. afternoon. The first game was called shortly after ? o'clock and from the very start there was unusual enthusi- .asm. The story of this contest is prac- tically told in the second inning, when the locals took a commanding lead by scoring five runs. This was done after one man was out. After Canavan had flied out Hess gave connell and Ander- son each q base on balls. Corcoran fol- lowed with little scratch single be- tween home and third. Rogers next got a hit, scoring Corcoran, Hayward se- cured a fielder's choice, Anderson being thrown out at the plate. Fitzmaurice and Golden followed with singles, Col den being caught at the plate. Spring field looned up strong in her half of the ninth, when Corcoran got slightly rat tied and two errors were made. The visitors got three hits and two runs.. and for a moment 1t looked as though they might take the game, after all.
 The score by innings of the first game follows:
