Premier Balfour Makes Signih-
cant Speech and Hints at Pos
sible Dangers From Russia q
and France, But Says
They Are Remote.
Policy Reversed.
(By Associated Press.)

h LONDON. May 11.-In the House OF
Commons to-day Premier Balfour said
that having regard for the changes in
the sea power OF other nations redls-l
tribution Of the fleet and army was de-
slrablc for colonial defense and the com
mittee Of defense of the admiralty had
concluded that the fleet and the army
should be concentrated in the center OF
the empire from which they would be
distributed as necessity arose.
Mr.. Balfour remarked that the devel-
opment OF Russia towards India had
from time to time caused great alarm.
Great Britain had. In vain. by diplomatic
means endeavored to prevent Russia's
expansion which must now be taken as
an accepted fact. Although the inva-
sion OF India was much talked Of by
Russian officers. he did not believe that
I 1t formed any part OF the scheme of the
Russian government.
Policy Is Reversed.
Mr. Balfours statement was made In
the course OF reply to question on
the subject Of the defense OF commercial
ports. Mr.. Balfour said the accepted
policy in this regard had been reversed
After long consideration by the admi-
rally, the committee OF defense had con-
cluded that submarine mines consu-
Stuted an inexpedient method OF defend
Ing such ports. They were more likely
to injure the defenders than do damage
sto the enemy, Mr.. Balfour believed
civilized countries would check the SOW
Ing OF mines in the waters OF the world.
The advent OF the submarine boat and
+ torpedo boat must qualify the extreme
doctrine OF command :iof the sea held by.
the o-called blue water school. Even II
fleets rode unchallenged In every. part OF
the world he did not believe any British
admiral would view with serenity the
task OF guarding a Decentralization on
q coast infested with torpedo and SUBJ
marine boats.
Invasion Not Feared. 4.
AIR Balfour stated that in considering
the difficulties of the invader he was
{ Obliged to base his calculations on the
supposition that the enemy would be

Britain. 1t was unnecessary to add IT

garded as possible. It was the opinion
OF Field Marshal Lord Roberts that i

covered a dozen persons are missing, and an
given up for dead and Of the forty-one
seriously wounded, several are likely to
die More than one hundred other persons
suffered less severe injuries.

men to dig graves and seek the dead still

financial assistance have come from nu-
smerous cities. Governor Ferguson, OF

TO add to the general confusion and
distress. after the tornado had passed,

mained Of the buildings in one OF the

possible to find out whether any bodies
were cremated. but It IS possible stteet lAea

the outbreak there leaked out and be-
came generally known. Few details
were available to the general public, and
the city was filled with the widest ru-
mors as to what was occurring. One
report circulated on the Bourse yester-
day had the entire garrison and the
sailors Of all the ships in the harbor in
mutiny. This, following on the heels
of the mutiny at Kronstadt, contributed
to the demonstration on the exchange.
The information goes to show that
though order was yesterday partly re-
stored, large part of the garrison stood
firm and the crisis had not been passed
Fears were expressed in admiralty and

had fiared out again, and that this
viii necessitate further resort to arm

COMMISSIONERS FIGURES
A Total of 4s4 Were Slaughtered, of
Which Windsor County Reports
the Most, Which Was

Stowe, Nov. 15.--H. G.. Thomas, fish
and game commissioner, today complet-
ed reports Of the open season for deer
in Vermont, and finds that there were
asa animals killed during the period OF
six days. These were legal killings.
Contrary to the general idea, there were
more deer killed this season than last,
when the lengths OF the season are
compared. In 1904 the total was 531,
but the season was then ten days long.
The law passed that fall cut of the
season by four days.
The average killing in 1901 was SO
lilo per day, and the average for this
year was SO 23. So it win be seen
that if the seasons had been of the
same length the slaughter in 1905 would
have been much larger than for the
years previous.
Windsor county leads the state in
the number killed, having had SO re-
ported, with Rutland county next, with
6T. Grand Isle county, up in Lake
Champlain, did not report one. The sta
tistics by counties are as follows:
