twenty pages, to be handed down to

HONORS TO HIS MEMORY.

A special from Portsmouth. Va, last
night showed that his death was great
ly regretted by the management of the
Seaboard Airline Railroad in which
he and his father had been interested
many years:
News was received at the Seaboard
Air Line headquarters this morning of
the death of Mr.. w. r. Tucker, which
occurred at his home in Raleigh, n. c.,
about 11:30 o'clock last night Mr..
Tucker, as is well known has been long
and actively identified with the Seaboard
Air Line interest, being a director in the
Scaboard and Roanoke and Georgia,
Carolina and Northern branches of that
system, and large stakeholder in all.
BY direction of Vice President st.
John, the flag from the dome of the
Union passenger station was lowered to
half mast as a mark of respect, and
among all of the departments of the
Seaboard Air Line to-day are heard ex-
prcssions of keenest regret and SYM
pathy for the bereaved.
''The Tucker name has 80 long been
identified with the Seaboard Air Line
that it seems almost n portion of its
permanent history Major Rufus S.
Tucker. father of the deceased, by large
investment and tireless energy, was a
potent factor in the affairs of the com
pany, and when he died. the son living
ont his fathers principles, became ac-
lively alive to the same interests. His
face was familiar one at all stock
holders meetings, and during his term
of service as director, his business sa-
gacity won for him the admiration and
respect of his associates, while the
sweetness of his character welded a no
less powerful influence in winning the
hearts of those with whom he came in
contact Among the executive and
managing officers, Mr.. fuckers death
is regarded as personal loss. His con-
nection with the SeabOard Air Line,
dating back from period when its
affairs were apparently at low ebb ter
inmates by the hand of providence and
at the rising tide, if the recent reports
as to that company's present condition
and prospects are to be believed. During
the tempestuous seasons he has been a
warm supporter of the cQmpany's policy,
and it is safe to assert that no home be-
reaved could have tenderer human SYM
pathy than that offered to the sorrowing
ones by the former associates ana au-
mirers of the deceased. a special train
will leave Portsmouth tomorrow morn
ing to enable the officials of the Sea-
board Air Line to attend the funeral at
Raleigh in body"

LONDON, Sept s, 1Sss.-The Cabinet
Council here today attracted greater pub

crowd of people cordially greeted the
most prominent of the Cabinet Ministers
and impatiently thronged the precincts of
the Foreign Office throughout the session,
eagerly scrutinizing the faces OF those
coming and going, in the hope of ohtafn-
ing glimmering of the outcome of the
momentous event. The war spirit was
evident on all sides, and the Generals
were enthusiastically cheered as they ap-
peared, the crowd evidently understanding
that they had been summoned to be in
readiness in the event of the Ministers
wishing their advice.
A crowd of from 1900 to 5000 persons
assembled at the Whitehall entrance to
Downing street, where the Foreign and
Colonial Offices are situated. at an early
hour this morning. Mr.. Joseph Chamber

were followed by Field Marshal Lord
