BRITISH AROUSED
URGENT NOTE SENT TO RUSSIA
Mob Tries to Assault Russian Am
bassador in london.-King Ed
ward Expresses Sympathy for suf-
ferers.

London, Oct. 25.-Grent Britain yes
terday sent a long and urgent note to
the Russian government. officially de-
failing the circumstances of the amaz-
ing and unexplained attack by the Rus
sian Second Pacific squadron during
the night of October 21st on British
fishing boats in the North sea.
The text of the note has not been
given out but 1t is Officially stated
from the foreign office that it contains
the significant announcement that the
situation is one which. in the opinion
of his majesty's government, does not
brook delay"
Everywhere there is evidence of the
very positive opinion that this is no
time for the usual diplomatic dilly-dal-
lying, that there must be no delay and
no limit set by Russia to her apology
or the extent of compensation for suf-
ferers by what King Edward himself
terms "the unwarranted action" of the
Baltic squadron commanders.
There was n hostile demonstration
at Victoria station tonight upon the
arrival of Count Benckendroff, the Rus
sian ambassador to Great Britain. A
crowd gathered and hooted him and at
tempted to break the windows of his
carriage.
Meanwhile the conservative public
and press are remarkably undemon-
strative. As usual the lingo element
demands war, and even in official quar-
ters some go so far as TO say that 1t
may be necessary to stop the Pacific
fleet, pending settlement of the whole
affair. though this extreme measure. 1t
is believed, will not be necessary. The
King sent the following message to the
mayor of Hull:
Buckingham Palace, Oct "a, 1904.
ITO His Worship, the Mayor of Hull:
THE King commands me to say that
he has heard with profound sorrow of
tho unwarrantable action which has
been committed against the North sea
fishing fleet and asks you to express the
deepest sympathy of theEueen and his
majesty to the families of those who
have suffered from this most lament
able occurrence. KNOLLYS."
Francis Knollys. Baron of Favers-
ham. is the private secretary of King
Edward.
At the Russian embassy 1t was
stated that the whole affair was so OBJ
viously a mistake. from whatever
cause. that Russia's course was plainly
dictated. namely, apology and ample
compensation,
All eyes are now turned toward st.
Petersburg awaiting word from the
Russian government.

Trying to Fool the Farmer.

been fourfifths of million dollars.

THE ADAMS RISK.

So far as Roosevelt and Fairbanks
are concerned, the election is already
won. The only possible danger is
over-confidence, and there is not too
much of that; but in this state we
have a local contest which is probably
attracting more attention than any
other local contest in the United
States. Governor Peabody is every
where regarded as the representative
Aof law and order, of every mans right
TO work. Of the authority OF the whole
people of the state as against the au-
thority of secret organization of dy-
namiters and assassins. What his cleo
tion would mean to the business of the
state cannot be calculated. But 1t
would certainly mean continuation
OF the business confidence which now
prevails; II would mean the invest
ment of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars Of eastern money in this state; 1t
would be an example to other states
which may be threatened with the
same sort Of domination which the
western federation sought to establish
here.
The election Of Adams. on the other
hand, will be a signal to the whole

ProqresS of Arizona.

Washington, Oct 25.-The annual re-
port of the governor of Arizona to the
secretary of the interior says the ter
ritory population has increased con-
siderably and that the total population
now is between 10000 and 100000.
1t expresses a desire on the part of
the people of Arizona for statehood,
but says that finding themselves con-
fronted with plan to unite their terri
tory with New Mexico, the people of
Arizona have protested vigorously and
will continue to do so until they have
defeated this repugnant scheme. They
would desire that their commonwealth
remain territory indefinitely rather
than to no Joined with New Mexico"
The governor adds his belief that the
merger would not be acceptable to the
mass of the people of either territory.
The report says that the floating in
debtedness of Arizona, which on June
80, 1903, was $92.341, has been wiped
out and a balance of S2O.S49 remained
in the general fund at the close of the
last fiscal year.
The taxable property of the territory
has gained 1881 .5O5 during the year.
The total taxable property of the va
rious counties is s45,069.5 .545. Substan-
tial progress in other directions is re-
ported.

Generous Deed Of EIks.

Through the generosity Of tho
Bridgeport lodge of Elks, Peter Mar
koon of Wallingford, Conn. will profit
by the unfortunate accident which he
met with while witnessing the Elks'
banner raising. A runaway horse ran
him down and dislocated his collar
bone.
The bone was not fractured as at
first reported. Markoon was here
looking for work, and when the Elks
heard that he had a wife and family
dependent upon him for support they
sent committee out 10 investigate.
Markoon, as a result, was sent bsck
TO Wallingford to-day, after the Bridge
port lodge of Elks had paid his medical
expenses. secured his ticket, given him
money for incidental expenses, and
told him to calculate upon IS per week
for the next four weeks,
The Elks went further. They noti-
fled the Wallingford lodge to take care
of Markoon and help him to get en-
ployment. Markoon is not a member
of the order, never was. and the Elks
were not in any way liable for the ac-
cident.-Boston Globe.

AMBASSADOR MossED.
Russian Representative Hustled and
Chased BY London Crowd.

London, Oct 25.-Count Becken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador, re.
turned to London last night from cele-
brating his silver wedding with his
wife's relatives in Silesia and barely
escaped assault from a crowd at the
Victoria station, which followed him
almost into the embassy.
Fortunately for the issue of peace or
war, nothing resulted, yet throughout
the night a special force of police was
compelled to guard the Russian en-
bassy.
Count BenckendorIf has been always
regarded in official circles here as a
friend Of peace, and he was as much
opposed as Count Lamsdorff to the
Russo-Japanese war. Indeed, he is al
most an Anglophile in sentiment.
There is no doubt that Count Benck-
endorff was deeply hurt by last nights
demonstration.
After escaping from the hostile
crowd that met him at the station. he
drove at a gallop to the embassy.
half a dozen rowdies followed, but the
ambassador arrived unharmed.
His noisy pursuers encountered a
Gordon of police that had been hur'
riedly dispatched to guard the en-
bassy. After singing Rule Britain
nia," the 6isturbers dispersed, no ar
rests being made, but the police con
tinued to guard the embassy as If ii
were British fortress.
