his players arc better than ever, and more
popular even than when In America before.

tion and served to rc.introduce the maestro to
the American people. The popular concert at

least 5000 people attended. and nothing but
standing room could be secured after y. m.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Great precau.
tons have been taken for the safety of
the Prince of Wales during his stay in
Hamburg, says London cable to The
World. Fourteen foreign detectives
arrived at Hamburg week before the
prince was expected in order that a
thorough preliminary investigation
might be made and all necessary pre-.
cautions taken to insure his safety.
The prince was also accompanied upon
his arrival by six special service men
from Scotland Yard, who will guard
him during his stay.
Lord Salisbury, who is at Schlucht,
is guarded by four English detectives
and six from other European countries.
The detective guard of the Emperor
William Of Germany has been doubled
since King Humbert's assassination,
and it is said that the guards have been
warned that they will be held person
ally responsible if any preventible mis-.
hap occurs to the kaiser.
Queen Victoria is also more carefully
guarded than before the murder of
Humbert During the yachting week
Cowes swarmed with detectives, and
the grounds at Osborne House are pa

A Cold Night In Canada.

The sky at night is a deep dark blue,
and the stars are like dropping balls of
fire. so close they seem to be almost
within reach. The northern lights look
as If titanic paint brush had been
dipped in phosphorescent flame and
drawn in great, bold strokes across
the heavens.
AS you pass the electric lamps you
see very fine particles of snow caught
up by the wind and glittering high in
the air like diamonds. But it is cold
night. and you are not sorry to get into
your room. First of all. you take
blanket or so from the bed, for there
are people in Canada who sleep all the
year round with only a sheet over
them, to such pitch Of perfection
have they brought the heating Of their
rooms.
After you have tucked yourself in
the stiffness of the night is broken &C.
casionally by report like cannon.
Have you ever been inside bathing
machine when mischievous boy
threw a stone at it? And, if so, do you
remember how you jumped? When the
walls of wooden house, crack in the
bitter cold, the effect is similar. only
magnified. But you know what it
means here, so you only draw the
clothes closer round you. thankful that
you are snug and warm. And so good
night. "

CONFERENCE IS ) LIKELY.


No Reply As Yet to tho Chinese April
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The United
States government has as yet made no
reply to the application Of the Chinese
government for the appointment OF a
commission TO bring about cessation
of hostilities The application to the
United States is understood to be sim.
liar to that made to other powers. I'm
der these circumstance, it is probable
that there will be conference in order
that the powers may act in unison. AS
to this, however, there is no official an
nouncement, for Ii Hung Changes ap-
plication has barely had time to get be-
fore the president and his advisors.
Another important development is that
two of the influential viceroys of China
have made application to the powers,
including, it is believed, the United
States, that no disrespect be shown to
the emperor and empress dowager OF
China. It is understood that the gov
eminent is informed that at least one
Of the continental powers is prepared
to answer that there will be personal
indignity or disrespect to their maj
estes.
