Russian Admiral's Story Opening of New York Subway Buffalo E'eva tor Fell Into River 60 Deaths In a Mine In Colorado Dan Patch Lowers Record. All danger of war between Russia rid Great Britain has been averted and the only dispute regarding the attack by the Russian second Pacific Etiuadron on British trawlers, October 21, has been referred to an interna tional commission under The Hague totiVentlon. Arrangements for The Hague court of inquiry in the North sea affair arc being made in London. France, Rus sia and Great Britain will be repre sented by admirals, and two smaller powers will take part in the delibera tions. It it learned on high authority at St. Petersburg that this diplomatic trim..ph belongs to M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister. When the Yellow Book of France and the Blue Book of Orcat Britain covering this incident, are issued sorno very inter esting diplomatic history will be dis closed. The great gravity of the situation, esptclally in Great Britain, where the inflamed state of public opinion might nt any moment have driven the gov ernment to extreme measures, and the danger Involved in delay were keenly appreciated in the Fren'.h capital. France's stake is almost equal to that of the parties directly In interest and the very peace of the republic was involved, as a rupture between Great Britain and Russia, eventuating in war by putting Great Britnln and .Japan in the position of making common cause against Russia, would inevitably result in an appeal to France to fulfill her obligations under the dual alliance. M. Delcarse, therefore, at the very outset went earnestly to work as a frieid of both countries to find an equitable basis of adjustment. The opportunity came when Admiral Ro jestvensky's report raised a direct ls mie of fact. According to the press' informant, M. Delcasse at once suggested an In quiry to establish the facts through an international commission under The Hague convention, offering the suggestion Fimultaneously to both governments, through Ambassador Cambon to Foreign Minister Lans downe and through Secretary Boutiron in Ambassador Bompard's abs-ne to Count LamsdorfT. The idea found in stant favor in both capitals. Russian Version of the Attack. Admiral Rojestvensky In his report on the trawler incident declares that he was attacked In the darkness by two torpedo boats, which came upon the squadron from the direction of the fishing fleet He opened fire, and be lieves he sank one of the torpedo boats, the other making oft for cover among the fishermen. As soon as he noticed the fishermen Admiral Rojestvensky ceased firing. He proceeded on his way without leav ing any vessel behind, and says he be lieves the vessel which the fishermen reported remaining on the scene for six hours without offering succor to the drowning was the other torpedo boat, either waiting for her consort or repairing damage inflicted by the fire of his ships. Reparation Demanded. Great Britain has sent a long and urgent note to the czar officially detail ing the circumstances of the amazing and unexplained attack by the Rus sian Pacific squadron during the night of Oct. 21 on British fishing boats in the North sea. The text of the note lias not been given out, but it Is offi cially stated from the foreign office that it contains the significant an nouncement that "the situation is one which in the opinion of his majesty's government, does not brook delay." War Talk Affected Prices. Bradstreet's summary of the state of trade says: Cooler weather has helped retail trade at the West and South. This is reflected In some re-order business from jobbers and wholesalers, whoso trade, while steady and better than last year at this date, is not entirely up to expectations. European war talk this week has had varying effects on leading specu latively dealt in staples and securi ties. Wheat and corn note some sup port from this cause, while cotton is weaker despite frost damage talk and some disposition to rally after the late decline. Election activity and the continu ance of warm weather are credited with retarding trade distribution in Canada. Retail demand for winter goods is hardly up to expectations at interior points. Failures for the week number 23, as against 39 last week and 25 In this week a year ago. Opening of New York's Subway. Tho formal celebration of the com pletion of the rapid transit under ground road, the most comprehensive r.ystem in the world, took place Thurs day afternoon at the city hall. The rapid transit system proper, which Includes the present completed subway and its extensions already au thorized, is owned by the city of New York. It has not expended a dollar in its construction, but has loaned the money for the construction, and the terms provide that It shall bo operated by the contracting builders for a per iod of 50 years with the privilege of lenewlng the lease for 25 years longer. The actual opening of tho subway to the traveling public took place at night Long before 7 when the first train was scheduled to leave city hall, the park surrounding the hall was jammed wth a good natured crowd. Thousands of persons fought with one another for the privilege of purchasing the first ticket The subivay winds its tortuous way through some of the most crowded portions of tho city and It. was In these places that the first trains were given a welcome in keeping with the event. When the crowded cars swept into the circular station at Asto" place they were painted by a chee.ing mob from the east side. The salute was characteristic of the people, horns, icroos and clacquers assisting the famous east side cheers in proclaim In? the hearty satisfaction In t!iat sec tion. It wns like a New Year's eve on lower Broadway. Elevator Went Into River. From some tause which cannot be definitely explained, the Ontario ele vator at Buffalo collapsed Sunday morning and sank into the waters ol the Evans slip. The elevator contained about 370, 000 bushels of barley, a large portion of which lies at the bottom of the Blip. The loss on the grain and the building U estimated at $350,000. Charles Bartholomy, 62 years old, the elevator superintendent, was serious' ly injured. Various reasons have been given as the cause of the collapse, but as near as could be learned it had its origin in the weakening of the foundations about the dock. It is a wellknown fact that the land about the elevator contains large deposits of qulckuand and It is considered probable that the accident was due to the settling of the earth on the dock side, caused by the action of the water on a bed of quick sand. The slip has been deepened during the last two years and this also may have weakened the dock foundations. Japa Make Successful Night Attack. A report received at Tokio from the Manchurian army headquarters records a successful night attack against the Russian outpost at Wum lngstsun and two unsuccessful counter attacks made by the Russians. The re port Is as follows: "On the night of Oct. 23 a small force of tho enemy attacked W'aitac mountain but were immediately re pulsed. Oct. 2! at 3 o'clock in the morning a detachment of infantry was dispatched frcm the center army against Wumlngtsnn, located nfldway between the outposts of both armies. The enemy was surprised and the hnusc-s occupied by the enemy were set on fire. Using the place as a base, the enemy made frequent night at tacks against our outposts. On the night of Oct. 28 a force of the ene my of unknown strength attacked an eminence near Santaokangtzu, but was immediately repulsed." Filipino Cannot Vote. The registrars of voters tit New Haven, Conn., have twice refused to admit to suffrage J. E. Lag dameo, a Filipino student at the Yale Forestry school. Tho registrars stat ed that as Lagdameo was not native born it was necessary for him to be come naturalized before ho could vote. Lagdameo claimed that as the United States had acquired tho Philippines, he was a citizen of this country. The matter finally went to Mayor Studley, who called up the attorney general's office in Washington by telephone and Assistant Attorney General Robbsald: "The supreme court of the United States has held that a Filipino is not a citizen of the United Stales. There fore, if the law of Connecticut re quires a voter to be a citizen he must be naturalized." Tho board assembled again and an nounced that it would refuse to recog ldze the right of Lagdameo to vote. Deaths From Mine Explosion. From .10 to CO men lost their lives in a terrific explosion which occurred at mine No. 3 of the Rocky Mountain Fuel and Iron company at Terclo. 40 mllos west of Trinidad, Col., Frldaj afternoon. The exact number of dead may never be known, as the mine is burn ing and in all likelihood the bodies will be consumed. The mine employs 80 men, and it Is htdieved that at least GO were In it at the time. News of the explosion brought assistance from the adjacent camps and at night hundreds of men were trying to enter the mine. Peadly fumes overcame the rescuers frequently, but their places Immedl ntely were taken by others to risli their lives. Call For Second Hague Conference In a circular note to the powers Secretary John Hay has carried out the president's Instructions relative to proposing a second Hague confer ence.

After a Flight of 3'2 Miles at an Ele vation of 2,000 Feet, Part of the Way Against a Heavy Wind Me chanical Part Said to Have Worker Perfectly. St Louis, Nov. 1. After circling in every direction at a height of 2,000 feet above the Cascades, in sight of thousands of cheering, enthusiastic spectators on the world's fair grounds, A. Roy Knabcnshue of Toledo, in com mand of Thomas S. Baldwin's airship "California Arrow," returned to the place from which he started, covering t miles, part way against an eight mile wind. Knabenshue started from the Aero nautic concourse at 3:37 p. m. and re turned at 4:05 p. m. On the return trip the airship sailed slowly over the rxact spot from which it had risen 28 minutes previously and glided about t()0 foet further west, where it settled gracefully to the ground. The descent of the Arrow was the ignal for a great demonstration. Dozens of eager hands were upstretch- ed to grasp the frame of the Hying machine, which, with its navigator was carried around the concourse on the shoulders of the shouting men. Day of Discouragement. The succepsful flight followed a day full of discouragement Baldwin and Knabenshue had worked for 26 hours without sleep to prepare for the flight, and the first essay nt an ascent, with Baldwin himself In command of the airship, had ended disastrously, the Arrow falling suddenly to the ground and breaking a blade of her propeller. In half an hour the airship, repaired, was again groomed for the flight. The Arrow rose slowly and easily, its prow directed toward the west. Vhen, at a height of 25 feet, Knabens hue turned the rudder and the aerial craft, answering to its helm, pointed south and continued its flight without Interruption. Knabenshue at that time was not high enough to clear the aeronautic fence and as he rapidly approached it, the crowd held its breath, fearing that the craft would be dashed against tho barricade. But Knabenshue moved to ward the rear of the alrhhlp. The Ar low pointed Its prow upward and, an swering the hull of the propeller soared lightly over the fence and rap idly gained an altitude of 1.000 feet Knabenshue again changed the di rection of the craft and passed over the crowd in the course. The "chug, chug, chug" of the motor could be plainly heard and tho rays of the sun glistened on the polished blades of the propeller. After proceeding about half a mile westward, Knabenshue turned the airship about and again passed over the concourse, increasing his altitude until he was 2,000 feet above the earth. Sailing first to the northeast and then to the southeast, occasionally making complete turns. Knabenshue continued In a generally easterly di rection until over the Cascades, the center of the world's fair grounds and about a mile and a half In a direct line from the point of starting. Complete Control of Motor. "There was not a moment," said Knabenshue, "when I did not have complete control of the airship. It needed but the slightest pressure on the helm to change the direction of the vessel and the old Arrow responded lo every demand that I made on it. "I hIso profited by the lesson I learned on the first flight and when I found that the motor was working smoothly and evenly, furnishing all the power necessary for a successful demonstration, I left well enough alone ond did not attempt to Increase the speed of the motor, for that was what caused the motor to break on my trial last Tuesday. "The mechnnical part of the airship worked perfectly. The gasoline motor did not miss an Ignition and the revolu tions of the propeller were steady and powerful. I am not sufficiently ex perienced to estimate the speed at which I moved, and I was too busy most of the time to mako any calcula tions. "The sensation was most pleasant. I did not have time to think about dan ger. In fact there was no real dan ger. An operator of the Baldwin Ar low needs only to havo an average amount of nerve, a little experience M an aeronaut and he can make a suc cessful flight." Captain Baldwin was extremely op timistic regarding the future of bis airship. "I had about determined to leave St. Lquis," he said. "Nov I shall not be content to leave before I have had several trlaU for that $1 00, 000 prize. Knabenshuo went up with instructions not to go far from the aeronautic concourse and to bring tho ship to the ground after a trial of half an hour. He cane within two minuter of obeying my Instructions to the let ter." Will Resume as Open Shop. Schenectady, Nov. 1. The local works of the American Locomotive company will reopen Nov. 14 to com plete a large order from the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company.

JUDGE PARKER SPOKE. Addressed Monster Mass Meeting at Madison Square Garden. New York, Nov. 1. Judge Parker last night made his first platform ap pearance, away from his home at Esopus, since his nomination as the Democratic candidate for president He addressed a monster mass meet ing held in Madison Square Garden where his reception was attended by a demonstration seldom equalled both In the intensity and the duration of the enthusiasm displayed. Not only was the appearance of Judge Parker cheered, but every men tion of his name by speakers who pre ceded him provoked outbreaks of ap plause. The tumult of unrestrained inthuslasm which accompanied Judge Parker's entrance to the garden was in contrast to the close attention given him during his speech of not more than half an hour. While his address was punctuated by applause, the throng which filled the garden to its capacity was markedly considerate in its treatment of the candidate. He had but to raise his hand to gain con trol of his audience. Though his voice was not strong It is said he could be heard in every part of the building. Judge Parker's speech waa of a character Intended to appeal to the popular demand as well as to the aud ience which gathered upon invitation of the Parker and Davis Business Men's association under whose au spices the meeting was held. It dealt with methods of collecting campaign funds and in this respect the candidate took severely to task his Republican opponent, following the line of a speech made recently at Rosemount on the same subject He discussed the tariff and trusts. He told of his own participation in political cam paigns and asked his audience if it would not like to return to whal he termed the old-fashioned principles, and his effort was a scathing arraign ment of the present administration from the Democratic point of view. Judge Parker was escorted to the garden by a committee of 100, consist ing of the most prominent Democrats In the city. Heading the escort were Mayor G. B. McCIellan and Isidor Straus, the latter the presiding officer of the evening, and among the others vere Admiral W. S. Schley, General Nelson A. Miles, W. B. Hornblower, August Belmont. Carl Schurz, Lewis Cass Ledyard. Thomas F. Ryan, John G. Carlisle, W. E. Jerome. John Mc Donald. Perry Belmont, William Mc Adoo, Harry P. Whitney, Daniel S. La ment, Herman Bidder and Edward M. Fhepard. Remains of President Kruger. Rotterdam, Nov. 1. The body ol former President Kruger of the Trans vaal republic, which was removed from the cemetery at The Hague for transfer to South Africa, reached Rot terdam yesterday afternoon. A great concourse of people followed the body from the railroad station to the Ba tavier, where it was placed in a mortuary chapel. Dr. Leyds, the for mer secretary of state of the Transvaal, who Is accompanying the body of Mr. Kmger to its destination, laid on the coffin a wreath inscribed "To My President" The Batavler, which was half-masted, sailed at 4 p. m. Thanks From Slocum Survivor. Washington, Nov. 1. President Roosevelt has received a letter from the officers of the organization of the General Slocum survivors thanking bim for the Interest he had manifest ed in the disaster and for his prompl action in dismissing from the govern ment service those upon whom, in a measure, the responsibility for th disaster rested. The letter adds: "Words cannot express that which w would like to Impress upon you, and you can feel assured that you have re lieved many a heart by the interest you have shown in this terrible dlsaa ter by the just and honorable decision handed down by you." Germany Demands Indemnity. Berlin, Nov. 1. The German gov crnment has presented to Russia a re quest from the owner of the Germar fishing vessel Sonntag, recently fired on by the ships belonging to the Rus Elan Pacific squadron, for Indemnity af the result of damage to his nets ami loss of time. Shot and Killed Her Husband. Jamestown, N. Y., Nov. 1. Mrs Hattie E. Carter last night shot one killed her husband, William E. Car ter. She then sent for an officer and gave herself up. She says the shoot !np was for an attempted assault on bcr daughter, Carter's stepdaughter The Carters are negroes. Stand by the Congreesmen, It would be a grim political Jolte If Pennsylvania, after giving a majority of 300,000 for Roosevelt and protection, should elect one or more free trado congressmen whose votes might mini mize such a splendid result. There is now no doubt whatever of President Roosevelt's election. In view of this fact the election of a strong working majority In congress is the logical co rollary. The Republican program of protection, progress and prosperity must not be imperilled by the election to congress of any man who believes with the St Louis platform that "Pro tection is robbery."
