RUSSIA'S Hints That Torpedo-Boats Were Fitted | Out in British Ports, PARIS, Oct. 28.—The speech of Pre- mier Ralfour at Southampton last night has created a decidedly unfavor- | able impression in the highest Russian | quarters bere, and it is stated by those in the best position to judge that the views of St. Petersburg . will prove the Premier’'s remarks, The fullowing statements were given | to the press from the most authorita- tive sources: ! “Mr. Balfour'’s deduction that Ad- | miral Rojestvensky's statement is pure | fancy is based upon the Premier's| declaration that the admiral was look- ing out for torpedo-boats coming from Japan. As a matter of fact the Rus- sian admiral was not guarding against torpedo-boats coming thousands of miles from Japan, as that would have been ‘manife absurd: but he was guarding against torpedo-boats armed und equipped in the vicinity of the | North Sea. This is not a matter of but is a matter of fact upon which the Russian | authorities have been furnished with precigse details. This information es- tablishes that the Japanese fitted up | raft as torpedo-boats at certain Swed- | ish ports, and they also had a large disap- | number of Japanese officers at New- castle-on-Tyne and other important Fnglish shipping points for the evi- dent purposge of fitting out craft to ob- | struct the Russian squadron. There- | fore, instead of these torpedo-boats be- ing imagirary craft coming thousands of miles from Japen, the Russian au- thorities possese precise information | that such torpedo-boats were actually | itting out at points near the North Sea, ! “A second important point on which | Mr. Balfour’s statement creates an er- roneous impression is his saying that the Russian squadron on Dogger Bank As a matter of fact, the Rus- | val route through the N&rth | Sea is across Dogger Bank. This is not the route of the British and other navies, but the Rassian navy has pre- ferred it because the shallowness of the water permits easier soundings for the purpose of locating the posi- tions of the ships. Therefore, instead of the Russian squadron being far out of its course, as Mr. Balfour asserts, ‘iv, was practically in its right course. There is no doubt that the Japanese informed themselves concerning the probable route of the Russian squad- ron and were aware that the Russian naval route would take the squadron across the Dogger Bank. “As a nieans of indicating the pre- | final decision was reached. | levea possible that some British offi- purchased nor ordered a single tor- pedo-boat in England since the out- break of the war. e | | EXCHANGE OF COURTESIES. | Each Power Invites the Other to Be Represented at Inquiry. i LONDON, Oct. 29.—Lord Lansdowne | and Embassador Benckendorff to-day further .discussed the composition of the international commission, but no It is be- | cers may participate in the inquiry going on at Vigo, similar to the cour- tesy being extended by Great Britain in its offer to the Russian embassy to nd a representative to the inquiry at Hull. The Foreign Office thoroughly agrees with the Russian understanding as to the moral obligation to carry out the findings of the international com- mission. The Board of Trade inquiry is likely to be opened at Hull early next week, and will be presided over by a naval officer, probably Admiral Sir Cyprian | Bridge, assisted by a leading lawyer, | the case being In charge of the solici- | tor of the Board of Trade. The inquiry will be confined to ascertaining the circumstances from the fishermen's point of view and assessing the dam- age. The Russian embassy has not yet decided whether to accept the Gov- ernment’'s invitation to send a repre- sentative. A report of the evidence will be forwarded to the International com- mission. The Board of Trade inquiry will express no opiniol on the action of the Russian squadron. A RUSSIAN SHIPS AT TANGIER. first, last and always. .

GIBRALTAR, Oct. 20.—The British battleships Jupiter and Magnificent sailed from here to-day, going west- ward. Their destination is believed to be Tangier. The British second-class cruiser Doris, which has been patrolling the straits, also sailed westward after ccmmunicating with the flagship of Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, the commander of the channel squad- ron.

The ship came to Brest, whence she began making trips or surveillance of channel ships, took in the Japanese flag and raised sometimes the American flag and sometimes the Swedish flag. Ivilpos, perceiving that the Itsima was not upon an ordinary merchant cruise, but was engaged in a dangerous mission of surveillance over Russian ships, left the ship at Brest, came here and re- ported to the Consul General, who reported in writing to the Russian au- thorities.” “There is reason to believe that some of the foregoing details will get before the International Commission, and that they will constitute some of the features of Russia’s viewpoint of the British charges.” Definite details concerning the meeting of the commission have not been arranged, but it is the under- standing in France, officially and dip- lomatically, that Great Britain and Russia will each make separate and individual inquiries which will be sub- mitted to the commission at The Hague for final adjustment. The Maritime Registers available do not contain the name of the Jap- anese ship of the name of Itsima, either steam or sailing. JAPAN MAKES DENIAL. No Torpedo-Boats Purchased in Eng- land Since the War Opened. TOKIO, Oct. 29.—The reported statement of an officer on board the Russian battleship Emperor Alex- ander III, with the Russian Baltic squadron now at Vigo, Spain, to the effect that there were foreign torpedo- boats among the Hull trawlers when they were fired upon recently by the Russian warships, and that the Jap- arese Government was said to have purchased torpedo-boats in England, coupled with the insinuation that the torpedo-boats with the trawlers were Japanese, has been received in Japan with a nfixed feeling of indignation and derision. It is officially declared in the most positive terms that Japan has neither sian Fleet at Vigo. PARIS, Oct. 29.—The correspond. ent of the Temps at Madrid telegraph that Akabane Shiro, the Minister of | Japan, had a long conference to-day | with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. | He adds that it is understood that the | Japanese Minister called the attention of the Foreign Minister to the pro- longed stay of the Russian squadron | at Spanish ports and the facilities ac- | corded the Russian shins for reprovis- | ioning and recoaling contrary to the rules of neutrality. The Foreign Min- | ister angwered that the other powers | had acted similarly. B PARALYZED AS RESULT OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK | INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 29.—' James Adams of 1624 Cornel avenue is lying in a paralyzed condition at his home as the result of an electric shock received from a telephone he was using in the office of a local coal company. Adams was standing at a desk on which were two telephones, the New and the Central Union phones. He first used the Central Union phone and, not succeeding in getting his number, tried the New phone. Adams took the receiver and while | waiting for his number rested his chin on the top of the Central Union phone. A shock resulted that ren- dered him unconscious. He was soon revived, but when an attempt was made to move him it was discovered that he was paralyzed from his waist to his feet. ADVERTISEMENTS.

This is one of a group of islands lying to the east of Kam- chatka, generally known as the Kom- mander Islands. Copper Island, on the Russian side of Bering Sea, is to the Government of the Czar what the Pribylof Islands are to the United | States. The islands are guarded by | war vessels, as they are the breeding | piaces of the fur seal and subject to | the raids of sealers of all nations. On the American side of the sea the seal | and his vessel confiscated. At Cop- per Island the poacher is shot unless he can dodge the bullets and outsail the cruiser that will surely chase him. ‘When ‘the raiding Japanese in their vessels drew near the seal rookery one dark night, actuated by patriotism and sealskins, they unfortunately found the Russiar guards wide awake. Through the darkness and fog the lit- tl brown sailors in their boats pulled cautiously to the shore and landed among the sleeping seals. Armed with clubs, they began the slaughter. The startled animals made clumsy efforts to escape, and while many reached the ‘water others were being struck down. Then the raid was interrupted. The Russians had seen the vessels ap- proach, and knowing the mission of the crews, they, under cover of the fog, secreted themselves near the rookery. From behind the neighbor- ing rocks they opened fire on the Jap- anese and killed eleven of them at the first volley. The raiders were unprepared for at- tack and fled toward their boats, but the Russlans had surrounded them and all were captured. At the sound of the firing the vessels hurried made sali to get out of the dangerous local- ity. The Russian cutter followed them them, and, after a short, unequal fight, as the Japanese schooners were un- It is not known what dispesition has been made of the captured raid- rs. Poaching on the seal preserves is ccnsidered an act of piracy and Russia deals with those she calls outlaws with no gentle hand. The deepest caverns of a Siberian salt mine may finally hold the seal poachers of Cop- per Island who escaped the guns that foggy night. A sample of the reckless patriotism ) | of the Japanese came to the notice of the California’s people while they were in Hakodate. The Russian raiding squadron was In the Straits of Sanger, | not far from the port, and the skipper | of a 118-ton schooner, the Sukno Maru, prepared to seek and destroy the en- emy.

His insane idea was to bump against some Russian cruiser, fire his mines and then all die together. After the schooner had sailed on her mission of death to after the Sukno towed back to Hakodate. DENOU BELIEF IN LUCK i AS FOOLISH AND IMMORAL | CHICAGO, Oect, 29.—Dr. Emile G :Hirsrh spoke this evening at Temple Israel and discussed luck. “The theory of luck is foolish, irreligious, moral,” he said. “It leads to moral in- dolence; it stunts conscience; it is pro- dvetive of envy and jealousy and is the curse of the human race. It has estranged men, and although it is not |a factor in human life, a widespread | bellef in Juck has made many of us belleve that it is a factor.” ——— He—this is leap year and nearly half gone.
