IMMEDIATE REDRESS IS DEMANDED PARTICULAR STRESS LAID ON FAILURE OF WARSHIPS TO y\;' ASSIST FISHERMEN., EXPLANATION OF AFFAIR LACKING NO REASON ASCERTAINABLE FOR THE ATTACK ON THE HELP- LESS LITTLE FLEET. London, Oct. 25—The British gov- ernment has sent urgent notes of pro- test to the Russian government on the subject of the Russian attack on the British fishing fleet in the North sea through both Ambassador Hardinge and the Russian ambassador in Lon- don. Special stress is laid on the cal- Tlousness displayed by the Russians in not going to the assistance of the fish- ermen. Lord Lansdowne asks that im- mediate redress shall be made. Secretary of Foreign Affairs Lans- downe reached London during the aft- ernoon and, after gathering the latest details known at the foreign office re- garding the firing on the British fish- ing boats by the Russian squadron, proceeded to Buckingham palace, where he had a lengthy interview with King Edward. The latter later tele- graphed a message of sympathy to the mayor of Hull Lord Lansdowne is expected, in ad- dition to making the usual claim for indemnity for the vessels sunk com- pensation for the wounded and pen- sions for the widows of those killed, to demand a most ample apology and assurances that other British shipping which may fall in with the Russian sguadren shall not be submitted to similar treatment. These demands, it is Dbelieved at the Russian embassy here, will speedily be granted. Unusual activity prevailed at the ad- miralty throughout the morning, but owing to the absence of Lord Selborne, first lord of the admiralty, no action was taken. "A strong squadron of cruisers lies at Portsmouth ready to sail at a few hours’ notice. The Med- iterranean fleet is off Venice and the home squadron is cruising off Scot- land. Thus in the quite unlikely event of Great Britain making a naval dem- onstration her forces are in peculiarly 8ood positions. The affair, though the sole topic of conversation among all classes at the British capital, has not created the uproar which might have been ex- pected. In the absence of Count Bencken- dorff the Russian charge called at the foreign office during the afternoon to express deep regret at the occurrence. Bryan in West Virginia. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 25.—William J. Bryan spoke to a large crowd of people here. He said that while the money question was not the paramount issue this time he had determined to carry on the fight against imperialism, as that was what lhreatened the peo- ple of this country at this time more than any other one thing. Convicted Murderer Suicides, New York, Oct. 25.—Frank Gustaf- son, a convicted murderer, who was to have been sentenced to death in the electric chair, committed suicide dur- ing the night by hanging himself in his cell in the Tombs prison.
