VBSELS ARE SUNK
BY THE FLEET OF CZAR NICHOLAS THE SECOND OFF HULL, ENGLAND THE BRITISH FLEET Unarmed Boats Bombarded at Midnight Without One Bit of Warning. WAR GRAFT STEAMED AWAY Believed to Be a Mistake The Russian Crews Are in Terror The Result. Hull, England, October 24. The fishing fleet .from this )ort was attacked ly the Russian Baltic squation in the North Sea shortly after midnight Saturday morning. Two fishing boats were sunk by shells and two others were badly damaged, but remained afloat. Two fishermen are known to have been killed, and it is believed that the entire crew of another, the Wren, perished when their era ft went down, as both boat and crew are missing. The Vessel known to have been sunk is the steam trawler Crane. Captain: Smith -mid Mate Leggett of IMS crtiii were ueueuuw " o.., and it is said that every member of the crew was wounded. Eighteen 'wounded men are here under treatment. The place in the North Sea where 1he Russian Baltic fleet fired on the vessels of the Hull, England, fishing beet, sinking two of the craft and killing several members of their crews, is 220 miles east by north of Spurn Head, at the entrance to the bay on which Hull is located, and lies directly in the course of the Russian war ships from Skager Rack to the English channel, where the squadron has since appeared. The Baltic fleet passed into the North Sea early Friday morning, being reported nt that time from Fredcrigshaven, Denmark.. Washington, 1). C, October 24. A world's war involving all the great rations of Europe will result from the Russian attack upon the English fishing fleet in the North Sea, reported by cable from Hull, England, last night, if Russia is unable to give Great Britain a satisfactory explanation. Tn diplomatic circles here the opirion prevails that when the particulars are known and Russia's side is stated the British government will be assured that no insult was intended and that no suullieient provocation has been given to break the strained relations which now exist. No member of the British' embassy is in Washington. Secretary Hay at a late hour last night had received no advices concerning the incident, and the officials of the State Department were not inclined to attach any great importance to the newspaper dispatches, being unwilling to accept the theory that the' Russian fired upon the fleet for the purpose of creating international complications.

A RUMOR That Richmond Man Won $15,000 in a Lottery. - . A report circulated down
town last evening to the effect that a Richmond man had won $15,000 in the Honduras Lottery. Nothing definite could be learned as to who the man was or just how much he won. It is well known that a large number of lottery tickets in all companies are sold here each week and it would not be surprising if some local person Tbad been lucky enough to catch on to the right number. 'A ; number of small amounts have often been won here through the lottery, but no large amount lias ever come to any local person who follows the get-rich-quick system. There are plenty of persons in this city, however who are willing at all times to profit by the loss of the lotteries and thereby increase their own bank account.

MUDDLED Is the Condition of the Restanrant Cashier. A cashier in a restaurant near the Panhandle depot is very much worked up over a cash transaction which he had with some unknown man yesterday. The man came into the restaurant and purchased 30 cents' worth of food for the payment of which he offered a $5 bill. The cashier did not have the correct change so he went outside the restaurant to get it. When he returned the man was gone and no trace of him could be found. Later in the evening the cashier becoming suspicious of the bill showed it to a numher of people and asked them whether it was counterfeit or not. A number pronounced it bad, while others said it was good and so the cashier, who Mill has the bill is wondering whether he is ahead $4.70 or shy 30 cents. E. M.

S FIFTH E GE THE PERIGRINATTNG PROPHET FROM THE PLATTE ARRIVES IN RICHMOND ASLEEP IN YARDS Not in a Box Car, But in His PVlac on WheelsHis Silence Wins for Him. NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT On Hand to Arouse Him From His Sweet Dreams of Democratic Success. Unheralded, unannounced and with no reception committee to greet him William Jennings Bryan, the silver tongued Nebraska orator and peer of the Democratic, party .made his fifth entrance into Richmond this morning at 1:32 o'clock. It is not known whether the few faithful in Richmond knew of the coming of their leader or not, but if they did they were not on hands to give him a welcome. If they had been it i? likely 4hey would have seen him as Mr.Hran did' notnpriear in - person aim tne private ear wnien is carrying . . . r him through the country came from Hamilton, Ohio, on an excursion train, and after arriving' here it was placed on a sidetrack for about five hours and then attached to train No. 7 on the G. R. & I. and taken north. The fact that he was in Richmond did not seem to trouble the sleep of Mr. Bryan in the least, as he never so much as came to the door of the car to say a few kind words to the train men who composed the depot rowd. On the other hand, the reence of a man who had twice run for president of the United States did not seem to have any effect on the ngular routine of the deot and the yards. The baggage smashers smashed the baggage jivst the sann, there was the same nerve-racking noise of the ringing of engine bells and the escape of steam that there is about the depot every night and everything went the same as it always does. Perhaps the only difference was in the manner of the station "master, v ho kowing the value of the contents of the; private Pullman, which was on the side track kept his eagle eye on the car during its stay here. Persons who were at Hamilton last night said that a very large crowd was present at the meeting and the excursion comiosed of twelve cars, which was run from Eaton was crowded to the guards. ' . ' ' NO DEGREE GIVEN Judge Fox Refuses to Divorce Mellinda and George Ellin ger. Yesterday morning Judge Fox iyfued,t grant a divorce decree to Mrs. Mellinda Ellinger against fieorge Ellinger. The case is one of the few in which a defendant ha? opposed divorce ' proceedings. Abandonment and failure to provide were the allegations, but the evidence int induced was such that the court refused to grant the decree. The custody of the five-year-old daughter was given to the mother. Carl Xuss has Ieenme interested j ?n a financial way in the New Ideal HJroverv. UlS Main street, and will soon become actively engaged in tne management of the same.
