London, July IA number of the
American, colonial and continental
guests Of the International Congress of
Women, having expressed a desire to
pay their respects to the queen, Lady
Aberdeen arranged a trip to Windsor
this afternoon, when her majesty assent
ed to the suggestion that she should
drive slowly through the quadrangle of
the castle and receive few of the
more prominent delegates 1t was about
520 when the delegates took up a posi-
tion in front Of the private entrance, A
quarter of an hour later her majesty APP
peared, and Lady Aberdeen made the
presentation.
Miss Susan b. Anthony. who, with
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, the newly
elected president of the congress, enjoy
ed the privilege of presentation said to
the correspondent Of The Associated
Press this evening: Il had never seem
the queen before and could not but feel
a thrill when, looking in her wonderful
face, l saw her, as her life is going out,
welcoming the women's movement
which is the precursory of the twen-
tieth century. What pleased me most

cannot have these ladies who are visit
ing me return without giving them cup
of tea Sir Arthur Bigge, the queens
private secretary, replied; But your
majesty, they are here in hundreds |
do not care SAID the queen. If they are
here in thousands They must all have
a cup of tea when they come to see me-
And we had it in the queens palace, as
a recognition of the great womanhood of
our country"
Mrs. Sewall said: "The queen looked
ten years younger than when | saw her
ten years ago. Every line in her face
displayed serenity, sweetness and pleas
ure. She looked us each full in the
ewes with quick, keen glance. Her
voice ic meloaious, and there is total
absence of certain lines of the mouth
shown in most photographs of her, in
1icating disdain. The whole bearing of
her majesty was a symbol that she, who
has governed the mightiest of empires
for sixty-three years, has finally recog-
nized intuitively that she crowns her
work in recognizing the claims of her
sex to equal rights with man, With
what womanly pride we Joined in the
anthem God Save the Queen,' The
impression we all carried away of the
greatest woman of the century was of ,
strong intellect governing, fine and wo-
manly sentiment"

Up to date 1872 cases have been report

Cuban soldiers are arriving to share in

tered the fish market of A. Foote G.
Co. on State street, near Chapel and
stole about 50 in change from the CASH
register. The conductor of a Stata
street car noticed that the front door Of
the fish market was open and when his
car reached Union depot reported it to
the patrolman on duty there. The po-
liceman telephoned to the central police
station and Sergeant Bowers with a de-
tail of ,patrolmen just going out after
reporting at headquarters went to the
market At the time the burglary oc-
Cured Partolman John Moore, who is
on that beat, was at police headquarters
making his report. He went to the fish
market with Sergeant Bowers and found
that the burglars had entered a rear
window from the railroad cut by means
of a ladder which they had probably
stolen. The rear window had been left
open and after climbing UP the ladder
nothing was left for the burglars to do
but to step through the open window.
The front doors were locked but by
pulling down the top bolt from the in
side the doors We're opened and the
burglars made their exit. They had not
been caught at o'clock this morning.

London, July I'm the house of COM
mons to-day Sir Henry CampbellBan-
herman liberal leader in the house, ask
ed the government leader, A. j. Balfour,
if he had any statement to make on the
apparently official statement published
in the Times this morning, giving the
names of number of officers said to
have been ordered to proceed to South
Africa for the purpose of organizing the
residents, as well as the police and To-
cal forces, at various points on the
frontier
Mr.. Balfour replied that he was not
aware it was an official statement. No
contingency had yet arisen which in
the opinion Of the government necessi-
tates material increase in the forces
now in South Africa He added:
I'VE, however, think it necessary un-
der the existing circumstances, to take
such steps as may bring the present
force up to the proper standard of eff
fciency and mobility. The war office
would have been extraordinarily want
ing in it's most obvious duties if it was
not prepared for any emergency"
The leader of the opposition, Sir Hen
ry Campbell -Bannerman, rejoined: 1T
is not with regard to bringing the pres
ent force to proper standard of etfi-
cheney that l wish to inquire, but as to
the paragraph which appears as an Off
cial communication" Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman then read the follow
ing extract, already cabled to the Asso-
ciated Press: "The coinmander-i in chief
has been engaged in completing the
composition and organization of large
force, which it will be necessary to dis
patch should the negotiations with the
Transvaal fail"
1T is with regard to this statement
of the Times" he continued, which Is
apparently a new declaration of govern
ment policy, that l wish to inquire"
Opposition cheers)
Mr.. Balfour replied: II do not think
there is any new declaration of policy
in that paragraph; but l conceive that
the war office would be extraordinarily
wanting in its most ordinary and OBJ
vious duties, If 1t were not>prepared for
any emergency, however undesirable and
however unlikely that could possibly
arise" (Ministerial cheers).
Henry Labouchere, radical, asked
the officers spoken of in the
as going to South Africa

trophy was not to be taken abroad
There was also much enthusiasm when
the young EtonianG fairly roWed down
their strong opponents, Pembroke col
lege, in the Ladies challenge plate, and
re-established their claim as the holders
of this handsome cup. Howells victory
in the diamond challenge sculls was also
immensely popular, but he is regarded
as an Englishman rather than an Amer
lean.
When Lady Esther Smith presented
the prizes after the races Colonel Will
Ian, the umpire, made a brief speech in
which he welcomed the foreign crews
to Henley. He said: 1--WE are especial
ly glad to renew our acquaintance with
the Argonauts, who made such fav-
orable impression when they were here
two years ago. They are good sports
men and roWed their races out to the
end in bulldog spirit We like to see
that they made d bold bid for the
Grand, and, although we should be ex-
tremely sorry to part with the cup,
there is no place where we would yath-
er it go than Canada"

prize for the Grand. and for the Stew
ards, he was greatly cheered in recogni-
ton of the skill with which he had pilot

NEW RAPID FIRE GUNS.
successfully Tested by Driggs-seabury
Company tn Derby.

New York, July IA new rapid-flre
gun designed for the protection of the
| mine fields and a novel semi-automatlc
| s1X-pounder for the navy were success
fully tested to-day on the proving
grounds of the Driggs-Seabury Gun
and Ammunition company at Derby,
Conn, before large number of pecta-
tors These guns We're built for the
army and navy, respectively, under
contracts awarded at the beginning of
the war with Spain, and will probably
play an important part in the plan and
scope of national defense.
The army gun is six-pounder of the
parapet carriage which admits of the
piece being fired with the same rapidity,
or upon a naval mount while it can be
easily transported from place to place
in fact the new weapon is a combina-
tion of a field and coast-defense gun.
Its use will be principally to protect
the torpedoes in the harbors by throw
ing such an overwhelming shower of
shot and shell that no small boat could
live within its zone of fire. The gun
and carriage rest upon the parapet OF
the fort and are held rigidly in posi-
tion by means of a V-shaped steel an
chorage which is worked under the CEN
ter of the axle. Should it be desired
to concentrate the fire upon any par
ticular point the anchorage is unhook-
ed and the carriage rolled away to any
point of the beach. A small spade at
the rear of the trail piece can be releas-
ed, and taking against the ground holds
the gun in position.
The seni-automatic gun is also a six
FOUNDER and is the first completed of
fifty-one for the navy. 1t is expected
to work a revolution in rapid-fire guns,
for with it speed of sixty shots min
ute was attained to-day, which is twice
that recorded by the six-pounder when
worked by hand Another important
feature is that it reduces the crew of
from four to two men, one
of whom throws in fixed ammunition
as person throws coal into furnace,
while the other fires as the breech block
closes automatically. Among those
present were Colonel J. j. Astor, Com
modore S. Nicholson Kane, Cornelius
jr., E. ]. Berwind, Captain
S. D. Sigsbee, U. S. N, L. V. Clark,
