The ac- cldent was due in part to the dense fog, but mainly because one of the cars moved from its switch before the motorman was certain that the proper signal was given.

PERSONAGES WHO FIGURE IN THE NBWS GROWING OUT OF THE NORTH SEA TRAGEDY. | 7 Erxs SAEDINGE, FOs LONDON, Oct. 25.—The inevitable de- lays of diplomatic procedure appear to! retard a complete and satisfactory set- | tlement of the acute differences between | Great Britain and Russia arising from | the deplorable North Sea affair. King | Edward has received from Emperor Nicholas himself a cablegram express- | ing the deepest regret and a practica | acknowledgment that Great Britain's| | peremptory note will meet with a reply | conceding every demand for apology | for the act of aggression against the British flag, compensation for the suf- ferers and punishment of the officers responsible for what is everywhere con- ceded to have been a gigantic blunder, and the Russian Embassador to the court of St. James has expressed to Foreign Minister Lansdowne his sorrow and sympathy. These developments, which came late in the day, have al- layed to some extent the deep resent- ment in the public mind, and the Ad- miralty to-night gave evidence of its appreciation of the necessity of proving that it is prepared actively to support the position of the people of Great Brit- ain and fulfill the expectations of the world when it issued the following statement: “‘On receipt on October 24 of the news of the North Sea tragedy preliminary orders for mutual support and co-op- eration were issued as a measure of precaution from the Admiralty to the channel, Mediterranean and home fleets.” DIPLOMATS KEEP B The day has been one of the busiest in recent years in dinlomatic circles here. The Russian Embassador, who reached London shortly before mid- night on Monday, was an early caller at Lansdowne House and had a long interview with Lord Lansdowne, after which the Foreign Minister drove to Downing street and conferred with Pre- mier Balfour and others, and for the remainder of the day was occupied with a mass of matters pertaining to the affair. Almost momentarily thé public expected some definite announcement of an official nature, but late this evening the Foreign Office announced that no further statement would be issued to- night. It is understood that this is be- cause it is considered that it would be unwise in the present state of public feeling to make.any intermediate proc- lamations concerning diplomatic pro- ceedings, in view of Great Britain's an- nouncement to Russia that the matter would not brook delay. Count Benckendorff, the Russian Em- bassador, was occupied until late to- night at the embassy with a mass of ! cipher dispatches, and it was an- | nounced at the embassy that it would be physically impossible to prepare a formal reply in such a short time. ROWDYISM IS CONDEMNED. While Great Britain is stirred to its depths there has not been the slightest evidence of a repetition of the rowdy- ism of last night, which is condemned on all sides, The suggestion that Em- bassador Benckendorff's visit to Lans- downe House instead of to Downing street was due to fears of mob violence is indignantly denied at the Foreign Office and at the embassy. In fact, there was not the slightest sign of any gathering of a hostile crowd at the For- eign Office, although the police precau- tions were most thorough. Count Benckendorff himseif referred to the in- cident of last night as trivial and did not appear to consider it worth no- ticing. 3 Popular appreciation of the situa- tion, however, was evidenced when King Edward appeared in public to- day. He was greeted with more than usual enthusiasm, on account of the decided tone of his telegram to the Mayor of Hull on Monday. =~ . The speeches of ‘members of o terances were met shows that for the moment party differences have been laid aside and that the country is sol- idly behind the Government. Lord Selborne, at the Pilgrims’' banquet to- night, denounced the Dogger Bank af- fair in the most outspoken terms yet heard from a member of the Cabinet, as “‘an inexcusable outrage” and “a terrible blunder which would be im- possible in either the British or the American navy."” Colonial Secretary Lyttelton, too, in another place, spoke in plain terms, saying that it was impossible to view the affair as other than the result of murderous intention or wicked negli- gence. The post-mortem examination of the bodies of the victims of the Dogger Bank affair was held to-day at Hull. The proceedings were purely formal and no official announcement was made, but it is stated positively that both of the dead men bore wounds irflicted both by machine guns and a larger shell. “ADMIRAL” CARR’'S REPORT. The report of Thomas Carr, the “‘admiral” of the fishing fleet, dated from the “North Sea” is a picturesque touch, a plain sailor’s yarn of the oc- currence, which was handed to For- eign Minister Lansdowne to-night. The report is dated “The North Sea, Octo- ber 22, and is as follows: We were fishing in latitude 55.19 north and longitude 5 east, the night of October 21. At 11:30 p. m. a large fleet of men of war Sprung up on our lee bow, the wind being about south-southeast. One squadron passed by our lee side. The remainder, consisting of four battleships, steamed just across our head, throwing searchlights over our fleet. ds they got to windward they began firing on us. their projectiles flving all around and across ! coupled with assurances that the fam- our decks for a full quarer of an hour, some of the shots passing under the mainsails so unpleasantly near the men who were getting fish in the pound that they cleared out down below, one shot passing right between them. 1 very much regret to say that others In the fleet were not so fortunate as us In escap- ing hurt. The Crane was sunk, her skipper and third hand were killed and all the rest of the crew were wounded, with the exception of the cook. The skipper of the Gull it who, being hailed by the Crane, saying are sinking,”” hove up his gear, got out a boat and went to the rescue of the unfortunate survivors. The Moulmein, Mino and Snipe all had shots through them, the two former vessels being obliged to make sail homeward. I think two or three vessels did not hoard us in the morning, but that may be owing to the thick weather causing them to miss the fleet. 1 don't know whether they took us for Japanese or whether they were practicing to get their hands in. There must be a mistake They ought to have known we ¢ inoffensive fishermen. 1 remain THOMAS CARR, Admiral. - MAKES STARTLING ACCUSATION. London Times Correspondent Says the Outrage Was Intentional. LONDON, Oct. 26.—A dispatch from Hull to the Times says that the correspondent, as the result of his investigation, is of the opinion that the attack on the British trawlers by the Russian second Pacific squadron was a deliberate act, perpetrated with knowledge of its character. The correspondent contends “that the whole affair is compatible with the idea of a drunken commander vielding to the temptation to have a little fun among British fishermen, who are nothing more than peasants in the eyes of a well-born Russian.” et s, Queen’s Gift to Victims' Families.

CAUSE OF TRAGEDY YET A MYSTERY No Word From Rojestven- sky Reaches Russian Capital. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26, 2:50 a. m.—Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s rea- sons for firing upon the British fishing | fleet remain as great a mystery as ever. Again at midnight the Admiral- | ty announced that the admiral’s report of the affair had not been recelved.} Meantime, without waiting the Rus- | sian version of the affair, Emperor Nicholas, through Embassador Har- | dinge, has sent to King Edward and the British Government a message con- | veying an expression of the profoundest | regret for the unfortunate affair, | ilies of the victims should receive the fullest reparation. The British Government also shows | moderation in the note which Embas- | sador Hardinge presented to Count | Lamsdorff this afternoon. While it | awaits an explanation for an act which it characterizes in strong language as unjustifiable, deliberate and inhuman, it makes no threats, fixes no time limit for respcnse and contains no demands, the note specifically stating that Great | Britain’s demands are reserved pend- | ing receipt of an explanation. The willingness of Great Britain to await the Russian explanation before | formulating demands shows considera- | tion for the position in which Russia has been placed by a deplorable blun- der. At the same time this consideration has an ominous ring about it, only | serving to emphasize the gravitv of | the situation, the language of the| note admitting of no doubt that| when the demands are ultimately pre- | sented Great Britain intends to in-| sist upon full compliance with them. | From the diplomatic standpoint the very fact that Great Britain h.s not| shown her hand strengthens her po-| sition. What the nature of the de- mands, will, be, must necessarily be a matter of speculation until Admiral Rojestvensky’'s report arrives, but if the important allegation in the note is established, namely, that the squadron actually changed formation before | opening fire, it would seem to fix the responsibility upon Rojestvensky; and, whoever the author of the offense may be it is regarded as certain that Great Britain will demand, among other| things, his punishment. It is also con- | sidered certain that failure to prompt- | iy comply would be followed by Em- | bassador Hardinge's recall. Although some nervousness is per- ceptible in diplomatic circles, gener- | ally su.aking there is the greatest con- | fidence both among diplomats and | high officials of the Government that | the affair will be amicably adjusted. | It is felt, indeed, that the great gravity of the situation may prove its salva- tion by imposing the utmost care and deliberation upon both sides. It is known that the Emperor was greatly grieved and shocked when he heard the news at Kronstadt on Mon- day afternoon. To a member of the court, the press learns, he has al- ready expressed a determination to punish whoever is responsible for the error. A RS AR WARNED OF AN ATTACK. Queer Story That Throws Light Upon | the Slav Fleet's Action. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26.—A rumor that is going the rounds and which is given authenticity by an official state- | ment by the Russian Admiralty to-| night throws a peculiar light upon the | cause of the North Sea tragedy. It is to the effect that the Russian Govern- ment was warned anonymously that a large number of Japanese had gone aboard fishing trawlers at Hull and that a torpedo attack would be made upon the Baltic fleet during its passage of the North Sea. The information was regarded as somewhat hazy, but never- | theless Admiral Rojestvensky was warned to keep a sharp lookout and to take no chances. In view of subsequent events the belief is growing that this false warning was conveyed to St. Pe- tersburg in the hope that it might re- sult in a tragedy that would embroil Russia and Great Britain. A special dispatch from London to an afternoon paper here charges that the attempt to sink the steamship Espe- ranza yesterday at Barry, England, was the work of Japanese emissaries. The Russian Admiralty has had spe- cific reports from agenis abroad that disguised Japanese officers had been seen in Denmark, Sweden and Ger- many, which indicated that an attempt would be made to attack the Russian squadron. The Novoe Vremya says that one of the minor powers before the sailing of the second Paclific squadron categoric- ally informed Russia of an impending attack on the vessel: Shi 0 B . Japan’'s Task at Port Arthur. LONDON, Oct. 26.—Under date of October 22 the Port Arthur corre- ’ ! spondent of the Daily Télegraph, de- seribing the defenses of that place, says the Japanese will achieve a won- derful success if they can capture the fortress with a loss under 30,000 men, for the garrison, though worn out and few in numbers, can hold its defenses with no great daily casualties from the bombardment of the heaviest ordinsnce, while the Japanese must sacrifice great numbers to gain even the advance defenses, which are as strong as forts.
