LONDON OSTRACIZES ASTOR.
Discarded American Cancels All Dates
for Social Season.

London, July 12.-William Waldorf
Astor's sudden departure for Germany
at the very height of the season, the
canceling of all his engagements here
and the recall of the invitations which
he had issued for house parties on next
Sunday week at Cliveden, are univer-
sally regarded as signalling the close
of his social career in London. 1t is
openly declared here that the prince
of Wales, who is the supreme arbiter
of English society, has cut him, in
consequence of his insulting treatment
of Capt. Sir Archibald Milne last week
and London is only too ready to &C
cept it's cue in this matter from its fu-
ture king, as Mr.. Astor, in spite of his
wealth and of the magniicence of his
entertainments, has made many enc
mics by his numerous idiosyncrasies
and by his extraordinary arrogance.

ADMIRAL IN CHARGE OF NAVAL
FORCES TAKES COMMAND.
THAT TAkU COMMANDMENT
Kempff Protested Against It and Be-
lieved It Brought on Crisis at Pekin
Preparations to Protect Soldiers
From Climate in China-Changes
in Commanders.

Washington, July 12.-Admiral Re-
mey, commander-in-ch1ef of the United
States naval forces on the Asiatic sta
ton. having arrived in Chinese waters
is in command over the head of Adj
miral Kempff, whom he ranks, 1t is
believed his cablegram yesterday relat-
ing to the landing of the 9th infantry
has lost the date line, for it is not
doubted troops were landed at laKu in
stead of Chefoo. The message reads,
admiral Kempff scored another credit
through the formal statement by the
Chinese government that the lombard
meIft of the forts at Taku, which was
done over his protest and without his
participation, precipitated the crisis at
Pekin. Quartermaster General Lud-
'ington has been making inquiry as to
the character of the weather to be ex-
pected in that portion of China, where
hostilities are in progress with view
to ascertaining the needs of the sol
diers in the matter of clothing Re-
ports show the climate in fall and vim
ter even more rigid than that of north
ern New York or New England. Con-
sequently the allowance of winter
clothing already ordered has been
doubled and the Meade and the Sum-
ner will now take out 5000 winter out
fits. The navy department detached
Commander r. p. Rogers from the
command of the Nashville, now in
Chinese waters, and ordered Com
mander N. q. Niles to command that
vessel. Commander Niles, who is on
duty at Norfolk yard, will sail August
8, Commander Rogers to proceed home
upon his arrival.

Administration.

Charleston, w. Va, July 12.-The re-
publican state convention met here
yesterday, adopted platform, nomln-
ated A. B. White for governor and ad-
journed at II last night until today al
ter holding two enthusiastic sessions
Senator Elkins as temporary chairman
addressed the convention at length and
was received with marked demonstra-
ton. The resolutions reafirm the
Philadelphia platform, pledge loyal
support to Mckinley and Roosevelt,
denounce the disfranchisement of col
ored voters in certain states, and at
tribute the development and success
during the present administration TO
the beneficial effects Of the Dingley
tariff law. On the Chinese situation
the resolutions express commence in
the firm but wisely conservative attl-
tude of the national administration in
its determination to preserve the treaty
rights and all other rights OF AmerI-
cans acquired in China under the law
of nations. We endorse the firm
avowal of the national government to
hold to accountability for loss or dam
age inflicted upon American citizens
the authority in the empire chargeable
with the maintenance of law and order
andt he guardianship of life, property
and rights of Americans"

NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Milwaukee Bike Affair Not the Big
Thing It Promised.

Milwaukee, July 1.-THE races of
the National Cycling association billed
in connection with the 21st national
meet of the League of American
Wheelmen will prove a failure because
of the unsafe track at the exposition
building. Already big feature of
the meet, the thousand dollar match
race between Tom Cooper and Major
Taylor, has been declared off. Other
professional riders also dropped out.
The total registry of the L. A. w.
shows but 643 names, several thousand
having been expected.
Yesterday afternoon the automobile
and bicycle races were held on Grand
avenue before great crowds of people.
The Andrae triplet, 81, came over the
line first, the cream and crimson OF its
riders flashing by only wheels length
ahead Of the orange sweaters of the
Jonas triplet, Sc, which crossed the
chalk just behind. 1t was as pretty a
race as has ever been run, the distance
from Sixteenth street between the two
having been no greater than at the fin
ish. The time was liz. The crew Of
the winning wheel was w. Schroeder,
who steered, Johnny Lake and I. H.
Denny of Buffalo, On the Jonas ma
chine were G. B. Van Colt, Al. Miller
and 0. Weber.
The automobile race was won by r..
H. Wells of Kenosha with w. H. Stark
weather of Milwaukee second, the Ke-
nosha man coming in about one-hale
block ahead of his second.
1t is noticeapIe that great majority
of those who are here with LAe goods
are elderly wheelmen, men with gray
hair who rode with upright handle
bars The younger element is missing
as yet, but may get here for the races.
Many of the "old boys" wear long
strings of glittering century bars over
their shoulders and across their breasts
indicating that they are mucn awheel,
and that they are not new to the bus
hand early, telling about how they rode
velocipedes in '67 and things like that.
Among the record men is Charles T.
Heaton, president Of the American
Century Wheelmen, who wears ITO
century bars He said that the famous
century run which was to have been
made from Chicago simmered down to
one man and one woman, that the hum
dreds who were to start were evidently
scared by the weather and when the
time came to move only six were on
hand These rode as far as Waukegan
when all but two turned back.
The slump in the number Of arrivals
from the east is undoubtedly due to the
failure of some to secure rates on the
railroads. It had been expected that
one fare and So would be made, but
when the time came it was discovered
that no arrangements for such pro-
ceeding had been made and therefore
very few came. There are a few regis
trations from Philadelphia and from
other eastern cities.
