CORDIAL RECEPTION

Accorded the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tiIIery Company of Boston in London.
LONDON, July s.-The Ancient and
Honorable Artillery company of Bos-
ton were accorded an enthusiastic
welcome on their arrival here last
night. The streets around the station
in Euston square, the London ter
minus of the London Sc Northwestern
railway, over which the the special
train of the Americans came, were
blocked with people. The train was
drawn by two engines decl<ed with
American flags. As It rolled into the
the station the crowd that had assem-
bled greeted it with loud and pro-
longed cheers. The fine band of the
London Honorable Artillery company
was waiting in the station, and as the
Americans alighted they were greeted
with the strains of Yankee Doodle.
A number of the officers of the Lon
don organization were present to meet
their guests and escort them to the
compaEy's quarters.
Thirty private omnibuses had been
secured and in these the visitors were
driven to the armory. The crowd
was 50 dense for some distance along
the route that it was impossible for
the horses to go faster than a walk
The reception extended to them by
the crowd was without doubt more en-
thusiastic than was ever before given
to Americans in this city.
The banquet was given at the Ar
mory house, Finsbury, the headSuar-
tiers of the London company. The
earl of Den bigh and Desmond, lieuten-
ant-colonel of the Honorable Artillery
company, presided. There were pres
ent about forty guests, including
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT William s.
Cowles, naval attache of the American
embassy; Gen. Patrick A. Collins. the
American consul general at London.
Admiral Sir Francis McClintock and
Ma. Gen. Sir Francis Greenfield.
Toasts were offered to the queen.
the president of the United States and
the prince of Wales and were drunk
with all the honors.
The earl Of Denbigh then proposed
q toast 10 the American guests whom
he warmly welcomed. He hoped
their visit would iuaugurate an epoch
OF peace and staunchest friendship.
Col. Henry Walker, commander OF
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company, made an eloquent RESPONSE,
in which he spoke Of the kinShip Of
the Americans and Britain, and re.

Our Letter 'sY."

It has always been supposed that oul
letter V was ''iineal descendant"
from the Roman Y, which. in the time
of Cicero, was borrowed from the
Greek alphabet to represent upsilon in
the translation of Greek names. II is
shown, however. by late investiga-
tions, that the letter is only used to
transliterate borrowed words which
come to Us directly from the Greek, or
indirectly from the Latin or French.
In the majority of cases our English y
is a semiconsonaut, corresponding in
value to the continental European j.

along with the other Roman letters,
from the Latin alphabet, its value be.
ing approximately that OF i. In fact,
it is claimed that there IS not ''lineal
descendant" of the ''AngIo-Saxon y
known. The modern English y Is not
a at all, but a z, which the Romans
evolved from a still earlier &C. st

the doom rfsat Threatened them and ut
tered such 3 yell as I had never heard.
Some stood still. and some f1ng them
selves down the stair. One only, Don
Pedro himself, rushed forward
1t was too late; the mass Of stone
work. fifty feet long by twenty In
breadth, was falling. It fell, taking
Molas with It
With a roar like that of thunder It
struck upon the stairway. and, burst
ing into fragments, swept it from end
to end
In less than minute 1t was done, the
sounds had died away, and nothing was
left to tell of what had happened e1-
cept little dust and some remains that
had been men OF all those who stood
upon the stairway only one sur.
forward But he was too late,
for though the mass had missed him
single stone struck him across the mid
die, breaking his bones and sweeping
him to the foot of the first fight, but
leaving him alive.
When all was finished and the dust
had fallen TO the earth again, the senior
spoke, saying:
Let US go and search for the body
of our deliverer."
So we went, the three of US, leaving
ZIbalbay IN the temple, but we could
not find it; doubtless to this day it
lies buried beneath some of the larger
blocks Of masonry. There were other
bodies, indeed, from which we did not
scruple to take the rifles and whatever
else was likely to be of value to US.
Better still, tied among some trees near
the foot of the pyramid we found four
good mules, one of thera laden with
ammunition and provisions, for Don
Pedro had come out determined TO hunt
days.
Having piclzeted the mules where
they could Craze, we returned to the
temple, bearing with US food and drink,
of which we stood in sore need On our
way up the steps Don Pedro called to
Us from where he lay broken and bleed
ing against an uprooted tree.
Water" he cried, ''give me water"
and the senior gave him some mixed
with brandy, which we had found upon
the sumpter mule.

my presentiment has come true, and

Give me absolution," he went on.

Then he turned and went, but for a
long time we were troubled with the
cries and blasphemies of this most evil
man. Indeed, they did not cease until
sunset, when the devil came to claim

Thousands of Dead and Wounded Arme-
mans Dumped Into the Sea.
New YORK, Oct. 49, Madji Rahsian,
a Christian Turk, was one Of the pas
sengers on board the La Gascogne. He
comes to this country on business
trip. Through an interpreter he told
about the massacres Of Armenians. He
was in Constantlnople during the three
days massacre in August last. During
the three days 10000 Armenians, he
said, were slaughtered through the en-
pire. Wagons filled with bodies were
constantly passing through the streets
in Constantinople. Cart load after cart
load of these bodies were dumped into
the sea. The eight was sickening
one, and what added to it's horrors was
the fact that in these wagons were piled
the dead and dying, and the feeble
cries of the wounded for release could
be heard coming from the carts, but
the appeals were utterly unheeded.
Whether killed or wounded, all were
thrown into the sea. -

Populist ACCOMPLISHMENTS eo-
zion With Their Vice Pres
identiaI Candidate.
Result Of the Meeting Not Civ
en- Out, and All Informal
ton Refused.
His Vigorous Letter Of Accept
ance Said to BE the Subject
Of Discussion.

THOMSON, Ga, Oct. 90. Il. w. Reed,
treasurer Of the Populist national com.
mittee, Mr.. Watson's personal repre-
sentative at the Populist meeting at
Chicago, and National Committeeman
Washburn of Massachusetts,, have ar
rived in Thomson, the home Of the
vice presidential candidate. They were
met at the depot by Mr. Watson's son
and driven to the home Of the nominee,
three quarters of mile from the sta
ton. The three have been in contin-
ual conference since, stopping only for
meals. The greatest possible interest
is shown by Mr.. Watson's personal and
political friends in the conference now
going on. Prominent local Populists,
men ordinarily in the confidence of the
vice presidential candidate, have called
only to find that their leader begged to
be excused.
Mr.. Watson received the representa-
tive of the Associated Press in the
evening. He politely but firmly re-
fused to be interviewed, or say any
thing regarding the political situation
or his letter of acceptance.
Regarding His Letter.
Mr.. Watson makes no secret of the
fact that his letter is in the hands of
Chairman Butler and has been for sew
eral days. He is going to Atlanta on
Tuesday and there, it is believed, he
will meet Senator Jones of the Demo-
cratic national committee. The state
committees of both the Democrats and
Populists will meet in Atlanta on the
same day and the question Of fusion on
the electoral tickets will be discussed.
1t is generally accepted as fact here
that the Democrats will make
some sort Of fusion proposition.
The Democratic leaders say there is
no necessity for it, and expect siren
Gus opposition inside the party. Wat
sons close political friends in Thomson
are firm in the belief that, unless the
electoral tickets are revised to suit him,
his letter, now in the possession of
Chairman Butler, will 60 to the public
in it's original form. They are also
convinced that in this letter the nomi-
nee has expressed his opinion in his
own vigorous and peculiar English Of
the fusion arrangements now obtain
ing in Kansas, Colorado and North
Carolina.
