LONDON WENT WILD.
A Night of Rejoicing Followed the Roya
 Wedding.

wedding.
 LONDON, July 7.-When the Duke of York and his bride arrived at Wolferton station they were met and cheered by thousands Escorted by the officers of the Suffolk hus- sars they drove in an open victoria to Bachelors cottage in the grounds around Sandringham hall. Throngs of country men stood cheering along the road, and children scattered flowers before the car riage. At the lodge gate the tenants and household formed a bodyguard. School children threw flowers as the bride entered the house. An hour later the couple was serenaded and fireworks were set off out side the grounds.
 The iluminations in this city last night were magnificent. From Liverpool street westward, far beyond Piccadilly, the city was aglow with colored lights. The splen- dor of the scene has not been equaled be- fore in London. Enormous crowds filled the main streets. The uproar in the great thoroughfares was deafening. Men, shout ing and cheering below, were answered by women, cheering and waving flags from the windows.
 In the scrambles for views of the process sions 70 persons were slightly injured and two were injured mortally. All these cases are under medical care in the hospitals. Two hundred persons, prostrated by the heat and excitement, were carried away from the crowds by ambulances, but all recovered without being taken to hospitals.

It is the boast of the officers of a fully equipped modern steamship that she is safer than a railway train. She is pro vided with every known appliance for comfort and security. Nothing is more impressive than her array of hfeboats and rafts, gayly painted and sewn up in canvas. There are gorgeous collision mats, so called, warranted-to stop out the water from any hole. But it takes in some cases 15 minutes to lower these fancy boats. It takes full 10 minutes to get a collision mat into position. In eight minutes after the awful hole was torn in the Victoria's side she had sunk and disappeared forever. In case of sud den danger the beautiful boats and col hsion mats are of no value at all. It is true that tremendous blow is required to tear open a steel ships side, but it has been shown that if the blow comes from exactly the right direction even a wood en ship can knock a hole in an iron steamer. With the great weight of the metal ship, with the huge weight of her machinery, she goes to the bottom before any of the devices of puny man can be made available.

1.-THE relatively depressed condition of silver mining has deflected the attention of investors toward mining for gold, and just now gold producing properties are in especial favor with European capitalists. The English investments in the Transvaal gold fields have been largely increased duriug the past year, while French syndicates have acquired important holdings in American gold mines and are considering others. A similar feeling has prevailed among eastern capitalists in this country, so that it has been much easier to raise capital for the prosecution of gold mining than for some time past. The demand for this class of properties has been stimulated rather than satisfied by the creditable showing of some of the recently opened districts in the Rocky Mountain region. Miners, too, are turn ing their attention in the same direction, and several incipient "rushes" to new gold fields, brought about by slight evi- dences of value, have been the result. The shutting down of a number of large silver mines and the lessened activity in others, by throwing many men out of employment, is adding to the army of prospectors, most of whom will give their special attention to the search for cold

 The Chinese diplomatic service has peculiarities of its own and is not gov erned entirely by the usages that prevail among the foreign representatives of other nations. It would puzzle Phila- delphia lawyer, as it has long puzzled some of those in San Francisco, to make out the exact relationship between the Chinese Six Companies in California and the imperial government. The principal officials of these companies are appoint ed in China and exercise some sort of quasi official jurisdiction that is as mys- terious to Americans as it is potential with the Chinese. They form a sort of

AN important suit has been begun at Hartford which involves the right of men to combine together and by strik- ing compel another mans discharge from employment, and render it impos. sible for him to obtain work at his trade where their influence extends. Twenty five cigar makers struck because a fellow workman was not discharged. The firm then discharged him and he has sued the other workmen, claiming that they have conspired to deprive him of work.

The Choctaw Nation.

If weary and disgruntled individual wanted to retire and hide himself from the world, he could not go to better place than to the reservation of gentle Choctaw Indians in the southeast cor ner of Indian Territory. There are still 10000, ,0O0 acres of unoccupied land, and the Choctaws welcome the white man, particularly if he will hustle and help develop their country-a work, by the way, which they are too lazy to do for themselves. They are fonder of hunting and fishing than of hoeing corn.
 The white hermit would not be crowd ed. There are only 15,OO0 Choctaws counting adopted whites, half negroes, greasers and all. Ten years ago the population numbered 14, 800. The Indian is vanishing off the face of the earth. Choctaw streams abound with fish of many choice varieties. The woods are full of game of verdi kinds, which it is the hunters delight to shoot. Wild turkeys are still to be found there, and in the mountains are bear. deer, partners and wolves.
 The soil is of extraordinary fertility, growing the products of the temperate zone, with an inclination to those of the tropics. The only industry in which the Choctaws engage to any great extent is the rearing of cattle and ponies. When milk is wanted for the Indian family, a COW with young calf is driven up to headouartars where the ra1f and fhe squaw milk her at one and the same time. This is the jolly Choctaw way ot carrying on the dairy business.

THE SOUTH SEA- WHALES
An Antarctic Expedition Gives
Contributions to Science.
SEAS swARMING WITH MONSTERS

The Royal Geographical and Meteorologi-
James Ross Researches Half Century
Ago With Valuable Scientific Results.
DUNDEE, Scotland, June 29-An event
OF considerable interest from an Industrial
and commercial as we'll as scientific stand
point was the return of the vessels dis
patched last September from Dundee to
the south polar regions. The expedition
had for its main purpose the discovery of
whale to which Sir James Ross had
drawn attention fifty years ago resem-
bling the Greenland whale, was, as to it's
scientific researches, under the direction.
OF the Royal Geographical and Royal Mete-
geological societies.
On Dec. II the first seal was encountered.
1t was nearly ~ feet long, with a bear-lke
head and formidable canine teeth. This
was near latitude 50 pegrees south and
longitude 81 degrees west. The sea swarmed
with whales of the finny kind, whose re-
sounding 5iasts were audible OH all sides
Cape pigccns surrounded the ships in null
titudes, as we'll az the blue petrol and
molly hawks.
The first iceberg, seen about the same
time, was tabular and of enormous dimen-
sions. On Christmas day the vessels were
little south of Ross position on New
Years eve, 1928, latitude 64:l3 south and
longitude 55;52 west. They did not see the
black whales that Ross saw, but they saw
the grampus, which is the black whales
enemy. BY this time three kinds of seals
had been seen, including the white Antarc-
tic and sea leopard They saw many
sheath bills, beautiful birds, snowy petrol,
as well as blue, giant and stormy petrol,
gray gulls, terms, etc.
They were ut this time christmas fast
to foe and the sea was perfectly calm
The sky, save at the horizon, had dense
canopy of cumulus rolls, and when the
sun was just below the horizon the color
Ing was exquisitely varied-rich puppies,
rosy hues, blues and greens passing into
translucent yellows. For six weeks after
ward they were engaged in seal killing
The animals had evidently never seen their
human enemy before and were very easily
caught. Specimens of plants, eggs and
rocks were obtained from Erebus and Ter
rOr gulf.
