FOUR THINGS.
Apology, Indemnity, Punish

tee of Future Security.
Time Given Till This
Afternoon. Russia
Objects to the
Last Two.
London, Oct. 27. If a statement
printed with the utmost prominence
by the Daily Mail is acceptable as
true, Great Britain and Russia stand
on the brink of war, which can on
ly be averted by Russia's submis
sion. At the moment of the tele
graphing it is impossible to confirm
or deny the statement w hich follows:
"The situation 'arising from the
North Sea outrage has become one
of much gravity. As stated by the
Daily Mall yesterday, the British
government has formulated four de
mands for an apology lor the attack;
for a pecuniary indemnity for the
victims; for the punishment of the
Russian officers concerned, and for a
guarantee for the future security of
British shipping from similar at
tacks. "The Russian government is will
ing to make the apology and pay
the indemnity, but as regnrds the
other two points the war party,
which is strongly in the ascendent
in St. Petersburg, refuses as yet to
make the desired concession. The
British government is resolved not
to give way, and we understand
that it has notified the Russian gov
ernment, that its acquiescence must
be forthcoming by the afternoon of
October 27. Failing this, the chan
nel fleet will, we understand, be in
structed to ask the Baltic fleet to re
turn. Should the Russian admiral
refuse it is expected that the British
admiral will be obliged to compel
the fleet's return. The British gov
ernment has, we believe, reason for j
confidence that, whatever action it
liny take in its, resolve to secure
amends for the terrible and inexcus
able outrage. France will not con
sent to be embioiled."
St. Petersburg, Oct. 27. The St:
Petersburg correspondent -of the
Telegraph siys the snuatioo is ap
parently unchanged. Russia, con
vinced of England's iufiexible re
snive to keep peace, will not in the
circumstances make any admission
calculated to reflect upon " the hu
manity atid honor of the navy, but
hopes to settle the matter by an ex
pression of sympathy for the vic
tims and the payment of money to
their families. All communications
between the two governments ' will
therefore be conducted on lines lim
ited to these points.
This cause of action has been taken
by the heads of the admiralty after
consultation, with other state de
partments and is fully approved. by
the czar, who is convinced that the
outcry is being raised ,for the pur
pose of depriving Russia of her
rights of defence at sea, and also
that the commanders of his fleet are
incapable of exceeding the liberty of
action accorded them by interna
tional law or of abandoning in a
cowardly manner, fishermen wanton
ly wounded by their guns. 1 Neither
depositions nor evidence will alter
that conviction.
London, Oct. 27. It can not : be
concealed that the passage of another
twentyfour hours without any sub
stantive reply from .Russia has
greatly, aggravated : the ? situation,
which may be described without ex
aggeration as extremely grave. The
nation's indignation is rapidly rising
and no voice is heard in any quarter
counselling patience.

Washington, Oct. 27. With near
ly one-third of the fiscal year gone
the deficit in the United States treas
ury is $22,410,562. For the twenty
seven days of this month the deficit
amounts to $4,553,947. The total ex
penditures for the present fiscal year
to date are twenty-one million dol
lars more than they were for the
same period last year, which indi
cates an increase in expenditure for
this fiscal year of about sixty-five
millions. The same rate of deficit
for the rest of the year would leave
a deficit in the treasury of nearly
seventy million dollars. The im
mense growth of expenditures cre
ates the belief that a deficit" which
may be turned over to a Democratic
secretary of the treasury will amount
to at least forty million dollars. The
total reeeipts for the fiscal year to
date have been nearly one hundred

ttl expenditures nearly two hun
dred and four millions. The figures
for exactly the same period of the
last fiscal year show the receipts to
have been nearly one hundred and
eighty-four millions, while the ex
penditures were nearly one hundred

a surplus of s ightly over one mil

RIG ELEVATOR COLLAPSES
Wreck Carries 370,000 Rushels
of Grain Into Lake Erie.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 30. From
some cause which cannot be definite
ly explained, the Ontario elevator
collapsed to-aay and auk into the
waters of the Evans slip. The eleva
tor contained about 3.70,000 bushels
of barley, a large portion ot which
lies at the bottom ol the slip. The
loss on the grain and the building is
estimated at $350,000. Charles Bart-holo.-uy,
sixty-lwo years old, the
elevator superintendent, was ser
iously injured. He was taken out of
the wreck uucouscious.
The Ontario was buiitfifceen years
ago, and had been in active opera
tion all of this sea v n. Various rea
sons have been given asto the cause
of the collapse, but as nearly as
could be learned, it had its origin in
the weakening of lfe foundations
about the dock. It is known that
the land about the elevator contains
large deposits of quicksand, and it is
considered probable that the accident
was due to a settling of the earth on
the dock side, caused by the action
of the water on a bed of this quick
sand. The slip has been deepened
during the last two years, and this
also may have weakened the dock
foundations. It was reported that
an explosion preceded the collapse,
but this could not be confirmed.

Tuesday.
New York World.
The leaders of the two great politi
cal parties are preparing to enter
upon the last week of the campaign
with more vigor than has character
ized any preceding stage of it. The
indications "ar a that there will be
considerable "ginger" injected into
the final struggle. Both are prepared
to dispute every point all over the
country, and particularly in the so
called "doubtful" States.
Both sides are claiming the major
ity in the electoral college, with
more, or less assurance, based upon
what they regard as indications that
justify their confidence.
The rival leaders have begun tq
put forth figures claimed by their
authors to be based upon the actual
results of canvasses, polls and per
sonal investigation. t
The Democrats and Republicans
alike lay claim to New York. The
Democrats are much more sanguine
of carrying New York the most
important State at issue. The Dem
ocrats insist V.iat they vill c,rry
New York for both Judge Parker
and the Democratic State ticket, and
their enthusiasm is growing.
The Republicans, while still de
claring the battle practically decided
in favor of their national and State
tickets, nevertheless allow some
value to the indications of the var
ious polls and estimates in New
York.
Senator T. H. McCarren, Chair
man of the Executive Committee ol
the Democratic State Committee,
predicts there will be a landslide in
this State for Judge Parker. Gov.
Odell has received from local leaders
all over the State figures which he
says indicate a Republican plurality
of 78,000.
"LANDSLIDE," SAYS MCCAREEX.
"I firmly believe that there is go
ing to be a landslide," said Senator
McCarren yesterday. '-The figures
printed this morning are the first
public indication ot a stage of things
ol the existence, ol; whicn l nave
been aware for some time. I was
not surprised by the figures, and I
do not believe they are excessive.
"I base what I say upon an actual
canvass of the election "districts in
Brooklyn which we have made, and
of elect ion districts u p the State which
have been made by the State Com
mittee. In one election district in
the German section of Brooklyn
where 373 voles are cast for Parker
is going to get 75 votes that were
cast for McKiuley. The German
vote is going for Parker, otherwise
we culd not expect anything like
the 30,000 plurality which we con
fidently count on in Kings.
"In the election district I speak of
an interesting feature is that where
there were six Socialists four years
ago there are now 50. Twenty-five
of those Socialists declared themsel
ves for Herrick.

It is going to jbe the great factor in

Trinidad, Col., Oct. 28. From
thirty to sixty men lost their livesjin
a terrible explosion which occurred
at Mine No. 3 of the Rocky Mount
afh Fuel & Iron Company at Tercio,
forty miles west of Trinidad this:
afternoon. The exact number of
dead may never be known, as the
mine is burning and in all likeli
hood the bodies will be consumed.
A large number of mine officials left
here as soon as word of the accident
was received. The company doc
tors were picked uo along the line
as well as all available physicians.
F. J. Foreman, a government
stock inspector, was at Tercio whea
the explosion occurred. He return
ed to-night and gave the following
account of the affair:
"I Was standing not more than 300
yards from the moutii of the tunnel
when the explosion occurred.
"The explosion was preceded by
a low rumbling sound resembling an
earthquake whicn m ule the earth
tremble.
"Il-ioked toward the mine 'and

"The explo- on wl- 'u-h resembles a
