Vigo, Oct, it. The British consulate
hero haa been Informed that the British
channel fleet will arrive at Vlge to
night or tomorrow. Considerable aur
prise has been manifested by this state
ment, as tt was thought that the agree
ment aa arrived at between Greet
Britain amt Russia, looking to a fuU
Investigation of the North sea. Incident,
would avoid any action of thla char
acter oa the part of England.,
The general opinion as expressed by
those who believe the Ashing fleet Inci
dent may now be regarded as practically
closed, U that the squadron bad aet aall
for this port on orders raretved prior
to the arrangement now In effect, and It
waa impossible for the British naval of
fice to reach tt In time to countermand
the previous lastrucUona, "
While those who take thla view of tha
situation ara In the majority, there are
quite a number who think the sailing of
the vessel may be due to aa entirely
different reaeon. advancing the Idea that
Great Britain looks upon the Baltic
fleet as Premier Balfour described It
to his speech at Southampton last night,
when before, an Immense audience he
described the evident Ideas that the
Russian admiral held aa to his rights in
making attacks upon shipping while on
tha high seas, and said that the squad
ron waa a menace that should be either
removed, or restricted ss to Its limits of
action. .
While the exact number of the vessels
In the Russian fleet is known as to
cruisers and bat t leant pa, the exact num
ber of torpedo boats hi a conjecture.
A rumor haa gained circulation that one
f the veaaala of the fleet quietly sailed
for some unknown port since the arrival
here. This rumor. It la said, may have
had something to do with the sailing of
the English channel fleet, as the Kng

STREET HATO

Street hawker are a necessary- evil,
according to the local commission mer

the hawkers will be forced -out of busi
ness. Commission merchants say that
the hawkers are great benefit to them
When there Is ft surplus they purchase
fruit which wouht otherwise spoil in the
commission houses. In this manner they
not only save the producer quite ft sum
of money, but at the same time areata ft
market for the fruit.
Because of these tacts the commission
merchants consider the street hawker
their friends. They are much opposed to
raising the license te - They say that
tba license ordinance will he introduced
at tha Instigation of the retail grocers
and fruit dealers, whose business the
hawhera injure to some extent. One com
mission merchant stated yesterday tbat
he hoped the hawkers would tight the
ordinance. Ha said ha thought thay oould
defeat It,
"If It would not antagonise the re
tailers. "sa id he, wvery one of the com
mission houses to the city would give tU
apiece to fight the ordinance. They are a
neoeeeary evlL Through then we dis
pose of fruit which otherwise would
spoil and bo a dead loss to the producer.
The hawkers take the fruit at lump
prices and sell It ta people who would
not go Into stores to make small pur
chase, la thla manner market la
created for the fruit."
Another commission merchant ex
pressed himself just aa strongly In favor
of the hawkers. Ha stated that If they
had not taken fruit off hla hands during
ths past week he would have lost tttO.
He argued that the eommlselon mer
chants had to get rid of their surplus
stock in some manner or let tt rot. and
If a too excessive license Is Imposed the
hawkers will be forced out of business,
and the commission merchant cannot
dispose of surplus stock. Ha said the
small retailers were tba only ones op
posed to the hawkers:

which haa now been paid.
Mr. Johnson ssld that owing to the
Lewie and Clark fair next yeer It waa
hardly likely that the Bvenlng Star
grange would undertake a county fair,
but that they would probably hold a big
one In two yaara. In tha meantime they
will endeavor to get the Mount Tabor

a mile or more. The members of the
grange hava all expressed themselves
