ANXIOUS TO GET AWAY.
Why Rojestvensl<y Did Not Aid His
Victims of the Trawlers.

Paris, Feb. "A continuance of the
Dissemination of the Russian Off
GERS at today's session of the internal
tiOnal commission developed consider
able feeling and several sharp ex-
changes of remarks. Captain Clado
particularly criticized the hostile at
titude of the British press He said
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky had writ
ten a private letter severely condemn
ing the British press, using one phrase
which Captain Clado said he consid-
cred necessary to withhold.
Baron Taube, the Russian judicial
adviser, remarked that it was doubt
less some strong seafaring expression.
Captain CIado replied: 81 will not
say the phrase was strong, but it was
bitter
misstatement that Russian torpedo
boats remained upon the scene with
out rendering aid to the trawlers. He
declared that no sucn torpedo boats
remained.
Hugh O'Beirne, firsy secretary of the
British embassy in Paris and agent of
Great Britain, said he mad heretofore
refrained from asking a delicate ques-
uon namely. Why none OF the Russian
ships remained to give assistance after
knowing that peaceful fishing boats
had been struck.
Captain Clado answered that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky had fully explained
that he did not consider the injuries
to the fishing boats were serious,
whereas the squadron having just
escaped from an attack by torpedo
boats it was desirable to withdraw the
squadron as soon as possible from the
vicinity of such attacks
Admiral Beaumont, of Great Britain,
closely questioned the witness as to
who gave the order to fire. Captain
Clado saying it was Acmiral Rojest-
vensky.

of his humiliation and shame.

offense had been committed in Atchi-
son and knew that the defendant was
the self-same man before him.
THE court. however, took a different
view of it. He said that, While 1 might
be aware of these things and he, the
citizen, might be aware of them, he, the
magistrate, could not take cognlzanee

1t is said that the officers of the Ne

establishing the Irvine plant, also that
the warden and other officials of the
penitentiary refused to accept an in
vitation to accompany the legislative
committee here. At present Nebraska
receives a low price. about AZ cents a
day, for convict labor on the lease
system. This is 10 cents lower than
the price paid by contracts here for
prison labor.
The members of the Nebraska leg
