With Czarlna He Reached
There Today.
Royalty Welcomed to Britain
by Prince of Wales.
Guns of Channel Fleet Doomed as
Russian Yacht Came In.

Copy GIFTED. 1900. by yhe Associated Press. }
LEITH, Scotland, Sept. 22.-The Russian
yachts Standard and Pole Star were
sighted at the entrance OF the Firth Of
forth at 10;3O this morn ing and the news
was Immediately telegraphed to the
Prince OF Wales, who was In charge of
the arrangements for the reception of the
Car and Czsrnia, and who will accom-
pany the Russian visitors to Bslmoral.
The Prince Of Wales, the Duke of Con-
naught, M. de Staal, the Russian am
bassador to the court OF st. James, Lord
Rose berry and a number of high dig nj
taries arrived at the jetty from Dalmeny
at IL o'clock and were received by an
escort of the Enniskillen dragons.
The Russian imperial yachts on their
arrival were ssluted by the fleet and i'm
mediately dropped anchor. The Tan
TALON Castle soon afterward ran along
side the Standard, the latter having
their Russian majesties on board and the
Prince OF Wales, the Duck OF Connaught
and M. de Staal went on board and well
coined the Gar and Czarina to Leith.
The greetings exchanged between the i'm
perial travellers and the British princes
was most sffectionate. The party after
ward lunched together on board the
Standard.
The precautions taken afioat for the
protection OF their msjesties was unprece-
dented, il Is believed, in naval annals.
Picket boats, steam launches snd torpedo
boats OF the smaller class, from the
wsrsbips Majestic, Magnincent, Repulse
and Resolution. each commanded by a
lieutenant, formed complete net
around the Russian imperial yacht IN
order ostensibly to prevent the shore
boats from crowding about the Standard,
but in reality to prevent any possible at
tempt to commit a dynamite or other
outrage. The shore boats were in such
vast numbers on the water that there is
no doubt that the precautions taken by
the British naval authorities were war
ranted.
The precautions adopted ashore were
equally thorough, although few people
gave more than passing thought now
10 the alleged dynamite cons tracy sup
posed to have been discovered oy Scot
land Yaro. On the Tantallon Castle
ashore, on the train which was to take
their Majesties to BaImoral, at different
places alcng the route,a Ballater and about
Balmoral itself were picketed mum bers Of
Russia secret service police.
After luncheon Their Imperial Msjesties
boarded the lantallon Castle, accompan-
led by the British princes and that steam
Forth, closely guarded by the swarm Of
picket boats.

adopted at Buffalo stood in doubt as to
the propriety of nominating gentleman
who had previously occupied a position
adverse TO the leading tenets Of the party

platform, which was most emphatically
endorsed, the one adopted at Chicago.

resolved his doubts as to the expediency
OF free silver and is prepared to stand IN
all fairness upon the platform today
adopted, copies of which The Associated

HEALY IS BACK.
He Went to the South Seas to
Escape His Wife.
After an Expose in Divorce Court
She Skipped to Orient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Fred A.
Healy, son of Captain NJ. A. HeAly, late
commander OF revenue cutter Bear, was a
passenger on the barkentine Tropic Bird
which arrived yesterday from Papete,
Tahiti. The return of the young man
to San Francisco, after an absence of
nearly six months, recalls a painful story
of an unfortunate matrimonial enstangle-
ment, which was the cause Of his sudden
departure for the South Seas. Heaiy went
to Tahita to please his parents and escape
the woman whom he married.
Healy's marriage, separation and sudden
disappearane for Tahiti are the sequel
OF romance born OF too much intoxi-
csnts absorbed by the contracting parties
during the period Of their brief courtship.
Young Hesly's rasbly acquired and
suddenly abandoned wife was formerly
Miss Lucretia NJ. Carpenter formerly of
Denver and more Eastern cities, who
had been widely known in certain circles
OF San Francisco rs "Miss Viola" Healy
made her squaintance during one Of his
rambles in the Tenderloin district
and prolonged debauch served to rap
idly ripen his affection. marriage
ceremony was performed in Oakland and
the horror OF Healy's frienos was only
equaled bv the indignation Of his pa
rents, who hasteneo him out OF the
lady's way. Since his departure and af
ter the marital troubles OF the young
couple were aired in the divorce courts,
young Healy's wife found 1t to her ad-
vantage to depart FOR the Orient.

cesding that Of any corresponding period

roll June 80, 1895, was $40, 67S.

/ am glad to report that tins is the
largest increase in the history of the as
sociation, and the smallest percentage Of
loss of old members.
This office has, without additional help
sent out over 101, 200 pamphlets and cir
culars during the past year. Fifty thous-
and circulars were issued from different
parts OF the country bv our officers
and members, and reaped good results.
These circulars, being indorsed by the
banks who sent them to their corre-
spopdents, carried additional weight and
saved postage the total cost being si1b,
while the 1850 circulars and letters
issued November 10, 1894, by the ola pro-
cess, cost t617.55.
am pleased to add that by getting
bids for printing our proceedings we OBJ
tanned a deduction OF s42S from the price
paid last year TO the same printing house,
and even these figures could have been
reduced but for the fact that n large
amount of the work was already done
when this reduction was requested.
The tressurer's books have been kept
in this office for the past year, with the
usuai complement OF CLERKS, saving an ad-
1itional $50 year.
The dues OF the members who have
Joined and have been regeined since Sept.
4, 1926, amount 10 $3.50 annually.
1hi. increase is largely due to the
united efforts of officers and members and
the publicity given TO tie good work OF
the protective committee by the financial
pre- q, and IL this association continues to
impress on bankers who arc not members
that good. practical benefits are being
reaped daily by those who belong, meny
more will join.
Very respectfuliv,
