SUMMER VISITORS
NOW RETURNING
Big Rush Anticipated by
the Railroad Men This
Week

With the advent Of The melancholy
lays when the sun hangs like a red
wafer i'm the hazy heavens. when at
light there blows up a chill breeze
which gives evidence OF frost not far
If, it is then that the summer guests
luit the seashore and mountains and
he exodus home begins.
While traffic to all the seaside re-
,orts was heavy on Saturday, yet the
number of persons returning was of
such magnitude as to indicate to the
ailroad men that they can expect a big
ush for home before next Saturday.
Usually the railroad companies prepare
or the heavy return travel about
August 81, but this year they have
)een obliged to make their arrange
nenhs ten days in advance. Yester-
lay was practically the last big Sun
day at Cape May and Rehoboth, and in
act at all of the big resorts, and the
ush for home began this morning.
The early rush for home this year is
assigned by the railroad companies TO
he prevalence of inclement weather
dong the coast this month. The rain
all ait some of the big resorts, they
say, has been unusually large for the
month of August, and has forced de-
oarture of many cottagers as we'll as
thousands of patrons of the hotels.
The Pan-American Exposition, too
Is a potent factor in the unusual condi-
lions. Many persons are returning
earlier in order TO attend during the
early part of September. and there is
every reason to believe that Delaware
will be largely represented.
There has been a great increase II
the number of vacations during thu
past few years, and the number o
Wilmington citizens who have beer
out Of the city during the past montl
has been larger than ever before. TIL
intense hot weather which has pre-
vailed, no doubt, has done much u
swell the number. but the fact that va
cations are becoming more and NOR
popular every season cannot b
downed.
In the course of a week or two thi
city will take on a lively aspect, an
the usual routine of socials and dance
soon viii begin. The sun-browne
summer girl will be transformed int
the winter girl, aud the sad sea wave
will moan on deserted sands.

OFFER TO BUY BONDS.
Terms Offered Yesterday by Secretary of
 the Treasury Gage.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Reserving the
 right to discontinue without previous
 notice, the treasury department an-
 nounced to-day that for the present it
 will accept offerings of United States
 bonds if rendered at the treasury de-
 partment at Washington or at the sub
 treasury at New York at prices to yield the government interest as follows On On the three per cent bonds loan of 190S-191S, five per cent bonds, loan of 1904, and four per cent. bonds funded loan of 19O7 to yield 1.726 and on the four per cent bonds, loan of 1925, to yield 1906.
 In speaking of his action in resuming the purchase of bonds, Secretary Gage to-day said: "The terms I offer are practically the same as those under which the purchases were made under the last call. I took the market quota tions and made the price about the mean between the offers and bids, which, of course, is a shade above the prices at which the actual transactions were made. This I believe to be en- tirely fair to both the government and to the bond owner. My reason for making the offer at this time is that I find from to-day's treasury statement we took In cash this month $9,301,95 more than we paid out, and for this single day the excessN of receipts over expenditures was s1,0S1, ,444. The circu- lation of the country could not stand this drain very long without being af- fected seriously, and as I do not wish to increase the deposits in the national bank Repositories there was only one thing left to do,. and that was to buy bonds. I can give no approximate idea of how long this offer will remain open, or how many bonds I shall purchase. who wish to sell would do | well not to count on any great length of | time"

Preparing for Emperor,s Return.

Pekin, Oct. 31.-The repairs to the walls, towers and place have been al most completed. A temporary struct- ure of wood and cloth has been erected in place of the destroyed Chien- Men tower under which Emperor Kwang Su will pass when entering the forbid den city. It is painted to resemble the old stone tower, with cannon in the windows, and looks like piece of the atrical scenery. Every effort is being made to conceal from the court the evidence of conquest. The British loop holed the wall at the station outside Chien Men gate, and the Chinese are now building another wall outside this to screen 1t from the view of the court. Prince Ching started to meet the court to-day.

Torrington, Conn, Oct. 31.--On evil dence secured by Detectives O'Brien and McKenna of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, Patrick s. Murphy, laborer was arrest ed here early this morning charged with attempting to wreck the passen- ger train which narrowly escaped de- railment near the Summer street cross- ing on Monday night.
 Murphy was arraigned in court be- fore Judge Roraback this morning, and several witnesses were presented by the state. Thought the evidence was purely circumstantal, much of 1t being drawn from the prisoner by the detec- lives, it was considered sufficient to hold the accused for higher court. He was bound over to the next term of the superior court, bonds being fixed at $3, 900.
