o'clock this morning the imperial majes-
ties of Russia and Germany started on
board the Russian yacht Alexander for
Kronstadt roads, where Emperor Will
lam and Empress Augusta Victoria were

yacht Hohenzollern.

crowded. Their German and Russian
majesties Immediately went on board
the German ironclad Koenig Wilhelm,
where they lunched with Prince Henry
of Prussia.
The German squadron remained in the
roads until after o'clock, when the sig
nal was given to get under way. The
German guns thundered a salute, to
which the Kronstadt replied. The Koe-
mig Wilhelm, hitherto silent, now fired
a salute. For some time the German
majesties stood on the deck Of the Ho-
henzollern and the Russian majesties
on the deck of the Alexandria saluted
and waved hands to one another. 1t

SHERMAN'S HEALTH
The Secretary Said to Be Breaking
Down

NEW YORK, Aug. 11-A special to
the Times from Washington says: An
effort is in progress by influential friends
of Secretary Sherman to induce him to
leave Washington and go to some quiet
retreat, where he can rest until fall,
and it is the belief inside of administra-
tion circles that he will go out of the cab
met soon after the November elections.
Secretary Sherman's bad condition of
health and mind is no longer concealed,
even by his friends.
Yesterday Mr.. Sherman made an abso-
lutte denial of all interviews concerning
Canovas' assassination that appeared
in the newspapers Monday morning. He
seems to remember none of the occur
rences of Sunday night, when he brought
his chair out on the front stoop and news
paper men gathered around him, and he
gave out variety of interviews. The
secretary's condition is painful to his
friends. A physical collapse at any time
would create no surprise.
