London, Oct 5.-A dispatch from St.

lomatie circles there that President

ming Of November
A Berlin dispatch reports that the
Kolnische Zeitung confirms the news
that the ear viii visit Emperor vii

of special dispatches from Paris de-
scribing the elaborate preparations for
the reception of the car and the rush
of people for the event. Thousands of

lodgings.
The Duke and Duchess of NIarlbor-

The question of defraying the enor-

said, is still unsettled, but President
Faure is playing ducks and brakes

worthily entertain the Russian visit

NO ATTEMPT no KILL GAR
The Story That an Effort Was Made
to Wreck lis Train False.

London. Oct. 5.-A great deal has been
made out Of nothing or little by the re-
port circulated il the United States
that a large block of wood was found
lying across the railroad track at Cars
lang. some distance south of Lancaster,
an hour before the cars train passed
there yesterday morning on its way
from Ballater to Portsmouth. The in
ference evidently intended to be drawn
from the message was that an attempt
had been made to wreck the imperial
train
Such is not the case. The obstruc-
ton was quite a natural one in the
high wind prevailing. A mile post
was blown down by the wind on the
opposite railway track to the one upon
which the car Travelled. and it was re-
moved half an hour before the imperial
train passed by the plate layers whose
work it is to watch the tracks during
the stormy weather.
