Demand Punishment for Officers.

London, October 25.-The feature of the editorial articles in the newspapers this morning is a practically universal de- mand that the government insist upon the punishment of the Russian officers responsible for the Dogger Bank af- fair.
 Without this. 1t is argued. the seas will be unsafe Tor any peaceful vessel. King Edwards telegram, characterizing the affair as ''unwarrantable,' is considered to reflect well the national temper and the fact that his majesty has taken the unusual course to thus interfere in a diplomatic controversy, the greatest sat- isfaction Is felt as emphasizing the ex- ceptionally grave nature of the crisis
 The days reflection on the matter only leads the newspapers and public to a firmness in demand for reparation.
 Regret Is expressed that there should have been any demonstration against Count Benckendorff, the Russian ambas- sador, who Is personally credited with friendly feelings towards Great Britain. The Standard declares that such a fool ish demonstration Is not worth talking about.
 taned the following statement from Count Benckendorff
 T am i'll with the fatigue of a long journey and anxiety, but I authorize you to say that l am absolutely certain that it was a deplorable accident and noth- ing more. My regret and my country's regret am sure, is unnecessary for me to speak of"

REPUBLICANS OFFER
 HANDSOME REWARD
BIG BANNER ON NINETEENTH STREET IS GUT DOWN AND RUN OVER BY CAR BEFORE ITS DIS COVERED.

Sometime Just before daybreak yester- day morning the republican banner across Nineteenth street between First and Second avenues was cu down. It was caught by the wheels of a street car before It was discovered by the motor man and was badly dirtied and damaged before the car was stopped.
 The banner was large affair with the pictures of President Roosevelt and Vice Presidential candidate Fairbanks on it. and was an expensive affair. It has been up for several weeks, stretched from the Opera House hotel to Louis Saks store and was the pride of .ne republican heart.
 A reward of $500 has been offered by the republicans in the state for information leading to the arrest of the people who cut the banner down. The republicans do not believe that it was done by demo- .erats. but think it was the work of van- Sals An attempt was made to cut 1t down shortly before midnight Sunday night, but it was not successful

B|G WAREHOUSE IS
 BURNED ID GROUND.
Big Stock of Carolina Portland
 Cement Company Ruined
EIGHT MULES ARE BURNED
Roof of Building Had Fallen In Before the Fire Was Dlscovered-Loss and Insurance Cannot
 Be Estimated.

Fire at Ii o'clock last night complete ly destroyed the warehouse or the caro- lima Portland Cement company at Sew enteenth street and Avenue A, and eight mules and one buggy horse were burned to crisp. The exact loss is hard to estimate, and c. II. Dickinson manager of the company here, said last nlght after the fire, that he was entirely unable to make any estimate or to give any idea of the amount of insurance. Neith- CT of these he said could be estimated until the books were gone over and the amount of stock In the building was as- certained.
 The loss will be heavy, probably over S2O000 and the insurance Is said to nave been comparatively small. Only few days ago solid trainload of cement was stored in the building, and every bit of 1t was ruined by water There was also lime and other building ma terial in the place.
 The eight mules were worth about Sl2OO and the horse about S150. They were in- sured. but the amount is not known. The mules and horses were in stable which runs along one side of the main building, and they were burned to a crisp before the fire department arrived. The building is a one-story brick about 50x140 feet and the property of the Bir- mingham Belt railroad. It was worth something like 5000 or $4Ooo, and It was impossible to learn if there was any insur- ance. It Is probably protected by the com pany insurance.
 The fire was first discovered by rail road men In the Louisville and Nashville yards. A boy also ran to the Southside station and told the watchman. The rail. road men sounded the whistles on the en. zines and telephone alarm was turned in from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company power house. Only one fire station received the alarm, as the telephones Tn the others failed to work When the Southsde station punched out" the other stations had to telephone to the exchange to find out where the firs was.
 The railroad men who discovered thu fire state that the roof was falling 1T when they first saw the flames, and tha the entire place was on fire before any alarm was turned in. The origin of th' fire Is unknown, and it had evidently been burning for long time when dis covered.
 Water ruined most of the lime, cemen and other building materials In the build ing. Chief Mullin said after the fire tha if he had known the contents of thu building he would not have poured anl water Into it, as 1t would have caused less loss to let the wooden work burr down than to throw water on the ee contents of the building.
 Five wagons and sets of double harnes. were destroyed in the fire. The book: Of the company were all saved, as the, had been placed in the safe yesterda, afternoon by the bookkeeper.

 Michigan will be traversed by Senator Fairbanks tomorrow. The first speech is expected to be made at Monroe very early tomorrow. At the meeting tonight Senator Fairbanks spoke in part as fol- lows:
 Justified By Actual Experience.
 We make no claims in behalf of the republican policies and republican admin istration except those justified by actual experience, and we make no charges against democratic policies and democrat ic administration which are not fully jus tified The democratic party criticizes republican expenditures, but its criticisms are vague, they are quite indefinite. The fact is that public expenditures have been measured by our public requirements. They no more than kept pace with our rapid development. An expanding na- tion must not hesitate to make those out lays which safety and prompt and sue cessful despatch of the public business require. We should pursue no niggardly policy and should not hesitate to meet fully the public needs.
 Charges of Extravaganza.
 "Our democratic friends indulge in ex- trayagant and unfounded statements not only with respect to expenditures in the United States, but with respect to ex- penditures in the Philippines The fore most leaders of democracy consistently claim that we have expended s67oooo, 900 on the archipelago. Some even assert that the amount will approximate twelve hun dred million or dollars. Therecords of the war department show. that both of these statements are grossly inaccurate. The total expenditures in the archipelago Is less than $2O0,000,000.
 We should bear in mind that the ex- pense of the civil administration is borne entirely from the insular treasury.
 "The oposition seems anxious to create an issue in the Philippines which will ar- rest public attention and divert it from the disastrous record of the last demo- cratic administration and from the con- temptation of the unsound policies of the democratic party

 The Russians gave not the slightest warning prior to the commencement of the firing. The admiral of the fishing fleet sent up a rocket Of warning, and then the firing commenced. He again sent up four green rockets but this only seemed to in- crease the ferocity of the bombardment.
