It la presumed, however, ft aas m relation to the ehlpmeatathat from this port to Japan. The Lena came by way ,aBd- - Commander s!.1!0 Uftabagoff furfber aisled that the expected to remain hers for a mouth. In the meantime ilia would be disarmed and go to the Union Iron Works to have her boilers repaired. Whea fitted up again the Lena would be and ready uTo to any destination to which alia waa ordered. Late thi afternoon Captain RSrlln-ak- y visited the Untied States war vet-ei- e in the harbor and then reported to the Russian consul. No statement regarding the Len could be obtained from the Russian cousul. The United Bute war vesuris now In port are the cruisers New York, Boston and Marblehead, the gunboat Bennington and the torpedo boat destroyer Haul Jouea, a sufficiently strong enough force to prevent any breach uf neutrality. At the Japanese consulate ft was announced tonight that no statement would be given out, the representative of (he Japanese government not having been officially notified of the arrival of the Lena. It has developed fatter that two different interpretation had been placed on tbe remarks of Commander Kltaliagoff of the Russian cruiser. The 'gentleman does not talk English fluently and one of hit Interviewers believed him to say that the Lena expected to remain in this port for a month, while anoflier version was that the commander said, We would like to stay here a month." The si element that tbe Lena left Vladivostok 31 days ago and arrived hero with foul boilers has aroused considerable speculation and discussion. The average time of a fairly fast steamer from lbe Russian port to San Francisco la from 28 to 3U days and it ia pointed out that the Lena would not have been permitted to leave Vladivostok in such condition that a months voyage would virtually disable her. Local shipping men lncllno to the belief that the Lena haa been out from Vladivostok longer than a month and has been ao long patrolling the high seas In search of Japanese merchant.ment and other veasela carrying contraband that she was forced to put In here for renovation. Another aurmiae ia that tbe Lena waa so long out without getting sight of a prise that she put In bore for information concerning the movements of the enemys vessels and for further instructions. This step, It la claimed she was clearly entitled to take under the neutrality laws, affording her 24 hows alay and that the move waa nunsldered safe may be judged from the known absence of Japanese warships In this vicinity. It is conceded In shipping circlet that the main qneet of tbs Ijena waa the steamship America which flies thn Japanese flag and whlrh would be open to irapture at anv place on the high area. Tbe Amerlcf left Hongkong for San Francisco three days would ago and being richly laden make a handsome prize for the Lena. The Russian vessel is said to have a peed of 19 3 knots while the America baa but 18, so that In a long chase the Japanese would be overhauled. But It ia a question now whether the America will cross the Pacific, as she will probably call at Guam for cable advices and be informed of the danger awaiting her here. Honolulu Is another port of call where the America could find shelter. The Pacific Mai! Steamship company's steamer Korea : from Hongkong via Yokohama fa due here tomorrow and possibly escaped search by the earlier arrival of tbe Ijena.

Vlad-lviiat- lW eration or more. Criticism of the tion in this matter la simply criticism of the only possible action which could have secured the building of the canal; aa well as the peace and quiet which we were, by treaty, bound 10 preserve along the line of transit across the Isthmus. The service rendered this country In securing the perpetual right to construct, maintain operate und defend the canal was so great that our opponents do not venture to raise the Issue in straightforward fashion; tor if so raised there would he no issue. The decisive action which brought about this beneficent result was the exercise by the President of the powers vested in him, and In him alone, by the Constitution; the power to recognise foreign governments by entering Into diplomatic relation! with them, and the power to make treaties which, when ratified by the senate, become under the constitution part of tbe supreme law of the land. Neither In this nor in any other matter has there been the slightest failure to live up to the Constitution In letter and In spirit. Rut the Constitution must be observed positively as well as negatively. The president's duty Is to serve the country in accordance with the Constitution; and I should be derelict In my duty if I used a false construction of the Constitution as a shield tor weakness and timidity, or aa an excuse for governmental Impotence.

We base our appeal upon whst we have dona in doing, upon our record of admluU-tntio- n uic nd and legislation during the last sem yean, In which we have had complete control of the government. We intend In the future to carry on the piTcrnment in the same way that we hive carried it on in the past. A party whose members are radically at variance on moat vital issues, nd if united at all, an only united on banes when their attitude threatens widespread disaster to the whole country, cannot be trusted to govern In any matter. A party which, wiPh facile all 11s convictions beetas, change fore election cannot be trur.ted to adhere with tenacity to any principle after election.

Here again all that we ask la that they truthfully state what haa been done, and then say whether or not they object to it; for If continued in power we shall continue our foreign policy and our handling of the nary on exactly the same lines in the future as In the past. To what phase of our foreign policy, and to what use of the navy, do our opponents object? Do they object to the way in which the Monroe Doctrine haa been strengthened and upheld?. Never before has this doctrine been acquiesced in abroad salt la now; and yet, while upholding the rights of the weaker American republics against foreign aggression, tbe administration baa lost no opportunity to point out to theta republics that those who seek equity should come with clean hands, and that whoevar claims liberty as a right must accept the responsibilities that, go with the exercise of the right. Do our opponents object to wbat wss done Tn reference to the petition of American citizens against the Klshenev massacre; or to the protest against the treatment of the Jews of Roumania? or to the efforts that have been made In behalf pf the Armenian in Turkey? No other administration in our history, no other more government in the world, has consistently stood for the broadestsptr-J- t of brotherhood in our common humanity, or has held a more resolute attitude of protest against every wrong that outraged the civilization of the age, at home or abroad. Do our opponents object to the fact that the international tribunal at the Hague was rescued from impotence, and turned Into a potent Inetrument for peace among the nations? This government has used that tribunal, and advocated Its use by others, in pursuance of its policy to promote the cause of international peace and 'good will by all honorable methods. In carrying out this policy, ! haa settled dispute after dispute by arbitration or by friendly agreement It haa behaved towards all nations, strong or weak, with courtesy, dignity, and justice; and It la now on excellent terms with all.

Alexander 111, Orel, Oleg and the Osilabia, Rear Admiral Voelkeraams flagship; the cruisers Admiral Kahlkimoff, Dimitri, Do ns tool, Aurora and the Almas, Rear Admiral Enqulst'a flagship, and several torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The fleet will merely touch at Libeu, where It will be joined by twelve transports, colliers and supply ships already waiting there and will then proceed direct to the Orient. The scene on the departure of the fleet was an Imposing one. At dawn the first anchor wan hoisted on the swift cruiser Aurora which aocontpan led by two tonwdo boats slipped out of the harlior. Itie town was awaken ed by the booming of the guns of theu forts as the Aurora sped toward in advance of the main squadron. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the time set for the departure of the remainder of the fleet, the Imperial yacht with the emperor. Grand Duke Alexia, the high admiral, and other high naval officers on board, put out from Peter-fao- f on the other side of the bay with an escort of three torpedo boats. Admirals Mojestveneky, Admiral and Enquist went on board the imperial yacht and personally said farewell to the emperor. and Then, with destroyers ahead abeam, the Souvaroff led the squadron down tbe Finnish Gulf. The water front and pier and forts were crowded with spectators. Tbe ensigns on the yachts were dipped aud the guns of each chain of forts across the bay joined in an admiral's salute,, while from the signal masts above the forts fluttered a string of colored flags rending Good luck to the Baltic fleet on Its long voyage. the report seems to show an alternating from dear to cloudy but aa the fleet left the port there was a burst of sunshine followed up, on the northern horizon by tbe blur of a rain aquall across the gulf. U-ba- Voel-kersa- St. Petersburg, Sept. 13, 2:33 a. m The departure of the Baltic fleet for the Far East Is officially announced. Admiral Blerielllff, conunander of tbe naval forces at Cronstadt, will accompany the fleet as far as Libsu, from which port this modern armada of almost 40 pennants will sail Immediately for the Orient. The admiralty does not state bow long Admiral Rojeetvensky will stop at Libau but It la understood It will only be for a few days. A plan for the cruise has been divulged. Colliers accompany tbe fleet for tbe purpose of supply the torpedo destroyers hosts and torpedo boat with coal, whose steaming radius ia small. Other colliers have already sailed or are awaiting orders at for eign porta to meet the squadron on the way. All tbe vessels are eqstppe with apparatus for coaling at sea. Tbe general opinion is that the vessels will go by way of the Suez, but some rumors say that the Cape. route will be takes. The decision of tbe admiralty to send out tbe fleet ie evidence of tbe temper of the government to prosecute the war to the finish. It Is understood that there was considerable divergence cf expert opinion on the question of delaying the sailing of the fleet until spring but the emperor turned the scale in favor of immediate departure. Tn this connection there are other Mobilization ia war movements. southern Busala was announced today and practically all of the reserve officers of the navy have been railed out.

Still moored to her dock, she now rests upon the bottom of the bay with only the top of her smokestack and two masts visible. The cause of the accident cannot be determined until tomorrow morning, when the work of raising the vessel will begin. She was loading freight for her run when suddenly she listed to star' board and began to fill. The stevedores and sailors on deck scrambled to the dock as the big ship slowly settled in the water, and in 40 minutes she rested on the bottom.

Tbe sending of the telegram together with other circumstances shows that the robbers were familiar with local conditions. It is thought the robbers climbed on the blind baggage at Mission.

When the engineer turned, he found this revolver and two rifles leveled at him from the coal tender.

HOLD PAS- SENGER. Make May With About Six Thousand Dollars- - Robbery Minutely Planned. Winnipeg. Man., SepL 11. At 10:30 Saturday night the Canadian Pacific westbound express was held up by four masked men four and a half miles west of Mission Junction in a wooded district. Three of tbe men crawled over the lender of the locomotive aud at the point of revolvers ordered Engineer Fcott to stop the train. They left one men to guard the engineer, the other taking the firemen with them. They compelled tbe fireman to uncouple the mail and expreee car, the fourth standing guard over the train and Conductor Warrell was made to go forward when tbe train stopped. Tbe robbers then proceeded with the engine and dkpresa cam several miles west. Express Messenger Herbert Mitchell at first refused to open the car door, but on being Informed that the car would be blown up with dynamite, he complied, was disarmed and forced to open the safe. They secured four or five thousand dollars in gold dust and about f 1,000 In currency. Tbe mail clerks were similarly compelled to open tbe mail car which was rifled of the content of registered mall sacks. The engine, exprese and mall cars were then run to n point eest of Warnoch where the robbers took to the woods.. None of the passengers was molested. A description of the robbers bat been wired to the cities south of tbe boundary line towards which ll is robbers mads tracks.

Now go back on your train," he commanded and the engineer and fireman started liack to nbere their cars had been left. train This morning the special carrying the posse arrived at daylight on the scene and went over tbe vlcia-it- y with the fireman. The latter showed where the robbers Jumped off. From there the trail led to tbe bank of the Fraser river close at hand. There tbe three had Jumped into a boat which they doubtless had previously prepared and crossed the river. On the other aide they started for the international boundary by tbe Mount Lehman road, a distance of eleven miles. They may have had horses. The police are watching this district and enclosing the roads on ail sides so that there la stIU a ebam of the men being captured before they reach Bialne or Bellingham. They left nothing behind to give tbe slightest indications of thrir identity. Their masks and outer clothing were either takes away or sunk In the river. The registered mail sack was carried away. Tbe mystery Ie increased by the receipt of a telegram yesterday from an source directing the telegraph operator at Mission to have the agent open tbe safe. The scheme of this message was evidently to suggest that the ageut at Vancouver wa away or for some other reason that tbe combination could not be opened here.
