Premier Btlfout. speaking .u a meeting
of the national union ,.f conservatl#*;
clubs at Southhampton tonight, broke
the silence which had been so long pre-
served and h.td brought the people of
tlie United Kingdom to a condition of
utmost desperate irritation and had
given rise to miscontemplatloris which
Iti Balfour tonight exposed. ' riie Rus-
sian ambassador," said Mr Bilfotjr, "has
itutborlzed a statement to this effect:
•The Russian government on hearing of
the North sea incident, at once express-
ed its profound regret and also promised
most liberal compensation. The Russian
government has ordered the detention at
Vigo of that part of the fleet which was
concerned in the incident, In order that
the naval authorities might ascertain
whf t officers were responsible for It; that
thost officers and any material witnesses
would not proceed on the voyage to the
far e.ist; that Inquiry would be Instigat-
ed Into the facts by a commission pro-
vided by The Hague convention."
PRELIMINARY INQUIRIES
Preliminary to this court Mr. Balfour
said there would b. a coroners Inquest at
Hull over the dead fishermen, a board
of trade inquiry and an inquiry by Rus-
sian officer.-, at Vigo. The board of trade
inquiry would be bp dally constituted by
tho British government to include rep-
representative men, the Russlin embassy
has ssknd to send a representative and
give assistance.
Mr Balfour plainly said that Thursday
evening Russia ahd Great Britain seemed
to be on the brink of war and gave the
frankest pulse to the attitude preserved
throughout by the ctar and the Jtussian
government. * 0
While the premier was unable to praise
the pacific attitude of the government
too hlgiily, he said Admiral itojestven-
sky's report was an Insult to Great Brit-
ain as a neutral nation and he ridiculed
its probability.
The Immense audience reeelvod Mr. Bal-
four's announcement of the settlement
of the affair with unbounded enthusiasm
which was echoed throughout the klng-
THOrOHT WAR INEVITABLE.
The day was an eventful one In the
metropolis, the population, stirred by
flaring headlines In the morning news-
papers. seemed convined that war was
I inevitable. The cabinet meeting, which
was held at noon, served to increase jath.
er than allay anxiety. Throughout the
country there had spread a d«-ep rooted
though perfectly erroneous Idea that
Great Britain had given Russia a time
limit In which to reply and thrt "Charley
Reresford, England's naval Idol, was on
the spot. Many, indeed, thought It was
only a question of hours when he would
bf demolishing ltu«sltn ships. Without
the least national desire for war. a great
naval excitement had been worked up.
In the streets tonight many expres-
sions of disappointment might have been
heard because the crisis had not developed
into hostilities. This merely voiced the
opinion of the thoughtless which comprls.

Edmond. Okta., Oct. 28.—Today will
long be remembered by the enormous
ojowd1 which thronged the thoroughfaies
of out city to hear Governor T. B. Fergu-
son discuss tho political issues of the
campaign. It had been dcclued to hold
forth at the openi house, but this idea
was abandoned, because of the insuffici-
ency of its seating capacity, and an open
air meeting was he.d instead.
At 2 o'clock Prof. R. Thatoher intro-
duced Governor Ferguson as a man who
needed no introduction, as his name was
a household word around every hearth-
stone in oklahoma.
HIGHER THAN POLITICS.
His excellency began by congratulating
our citizens because of the location of
the Edmond normal school at this place
and said "the proportion of wood citi-

tory of tho republican and democratic
parties, and compared the condition of
things under the last adminlstiatlon of
Qro\er Cleveland with that of today.
Governor Ferguson dwelt at length on

contended that with the return to con-
