 Greece and France-A Brilliant Illu-
 mfnation.
 CHERBoURG, Aug. 4.-The festivities in- cident to the presence in this harbor of the Russian cruiser Korniloff and an American and Greek warship are continued. At the punch given in honor of the American, Russian and Greek sailors last night the friendly sentiments exchanged met with the heartiest approval of all present. Toasts in honor of Russia, America and Greece were given by the French hosts and were drunk amid tumultuous ap- plause. The visitors in turn pledged France and the French people, and their toasts were made the occasion for great en- thusiasm.
 Among the hosts was General Chabrig- nae, who proposed toast to the combined three nations-Russia, America and Greece and in speaking to his toast said that the friendship between Russia and France was solid pledge of peace. France, as a nation, he declared, desired peace, but it must be an honorable peace.
 The residents of the city have extended hearty welcome to the visitors and have done everything in their power to make their stay in this city pleasant. Last night the city was brilliantly illuminated honor of the visitors, and the residents vied with each other in their efforts to add beauty to the scene.
 The warships in the harbor afforded a beautiful spectacle. At sundown the regu- lar anchor lights were set, and as the darkness grew, long strings of signal Ian terms showing different colors were dis played from the masts and spars. The beams from these lights were reflected from the dark waters, and the effect was exceeding pretty. Large crowds gathered along the quays and other points of van tage on the water front to view the brilliant spectacle.

DEATH OF A NOTED ATTORNEY.

= A Colored Lawyer of Boston Passes
 Away in England-Sketch or His
 Career.
 LONDON, Aug. 4.-George Williams, 8 colored lawyer of Boston, Mass, who some time ago visited the upper Congo country and who wrote letters to King Leopold of Belgium severely criticising the method of the Congo Free State officials and also those of Mir. Henry M. Stanley, died at the Palatine hotel at Blackpool, town in Lam cashire, to-day. He was evidently alone at the time of his death as @ local justice of the peace telegraphed to MT. Lincoln, the American minister, notifying him of Mir. Williams death and stating that he had no friends in Blackpool to attend to his effects or to his burial. Mr.. Lincoln requested Consul General New to attend to the matter and he, in turn, sent instruc- tions to MT. Thomas Sherman, the Ameri- can consul at Liverpool, to watch the affair.
 MT. Williams was the author of work entitled ''The History of the Colored Race in America" He attended the anti | slavery conference at Brussels, where he represented to King Leopold that he was l the official representative of the United States to the conference, and upon these representations he was enabled to obtain small loans of money from the more cred | ulous of those whom he came in contact.
 He visited the Congo country under the
 auspices of the Belgian country. He spent some time previous to this visit to
 Africa in Liverpool, where he became en-
 gagged to marry white girl. His fance
 applied to Consul General New for in.
 formation regarding Williams, and upon
 learning in what light marriages between
 white and negroes in the United States are
 regarded, she broke the engagement.
