AMERICANS VISIT
THE BRITISH KING
New Workers Entertained at
Windsor Castle.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Refreshments Served In Shady Nook
of the Grounds of the Royal Domain.
Americans Much In Evidence In the
British Metropolis.
LONDON, June 1.-The delegates of
the New York chamber of commerce
met together this morning for
the first time since their arrival and
went to Windsor Castle at King Ed
wards invitation.
The kings conduct in connection with
the visit has been most unexplainable.
The fact of the delegates coming was
brought to his majesty's notice by Lord
Avebury some two months ago, and he
at once expressed himself as pleased
and spontaneously offered to receive
them.
A few weeks ago, however, he begged
to be excused from seeing them, but in
mated that they would be welcome to
inspect Windsor castle. Up to Thurs
day it was the kings intention to re-
turn from a short stay at Windsor to
London, but now he has decided to give
an audience to the New York delegates,
and as he could do so more privately at
Windsor he caused an official report to
be issued that the court would not come
to the metropolis until next week. In
vitations marked Strictly Confden-
tial' were hurriedly sent to all the dele
gates, but Messrs. Carnegie, Schieren
and one or two others, having made
other arrangements, will not attend.

vited and for the kings command that
nothing in the reception shall appear in
The Official Gazette. There is a very
general belief, however, that political
significance attaches to the kings ac-
ton.
Leaving London at $3.50 p. m. today,
the delegates will reach Windsor castle
shortly after 3. At the royal entrance
they will be met by Sir Francis Knoll
lys the kings private secretary, who
will conduct them over the castle. At
they will have the audience of the
king and partake of refreshments with
his majesty in a shady nook of the
grounds that enclose the royal domain.
The delegates will return to London
about 7.
Americans In Evidence.
London has never been so full Of
prominent Americans as now. There
are numbers who have come to Eng
land for recreation. Of these a goodly
percentage, several of them being them
selves members Of the New York cham
ber of commerce, have received invita-
tiOns for many receptions. Many we'll
known figures in New York life are
here, among them j. Pierpont Morgan.
Of leading American business men
whose names are not SO we'll known to
the public there are legion. The Nor
tons are staying at their lovely country
house, Virginia Water, taking frequent
trips to town.
Mr.. Wolcott, who intends to stay in
London about a month, finds it so en-
joyable that he is not going to the con-
tinent. as ne first intended.

Wolcott, land think all the Americans
here are doing the same. F."
Senator Clark is combining business
with pleasure, purchasing bric-a- brac
and looking out for his copper interests.

What the Senators Say.

McLaurin says he will withdraw his
resignation, and declares Governor Nc
Sweeney is patriot.
Tillman is mad, and says the gov
ernor is without authority. The senior
senator's views are generally upheld. 1t
is expected that Tillman will yet make
a strong play for McLaurin. He will
not let the matter quietly drop, but will
probably issue some clear-cut challenge
to the junior senator in an effort to cor
ner him

Governors Action Popular.

There has been a general violent pro-
test from all quarters of the state
against political campaign, and this
action of the governor will be popular.
In view of the popular feeling neither
senator will likely make protest.
Governor McSweeney said last night:
"The two senators did not seem to be
able to agree on when the primary
should take place and other details. 1
found my desk loaded with letters from
the people begging me not to have pri.
mary. I acted as the people wished.
Now, if these senators wish to resign,
let them send Ill the designations to take
effect Immediately and their successors
will be appointed in just two minutes
and a half. "

Diversity Of Opinion.

There are many politicians IN town,
most of them candidates. and the gov
ernor's announcement is q disagreeable
surprise. Whether the governors ac-
tion comes within his powers is a ques-
ton much mooted. Able lawyers say
he cannot refuse to accept, his duty i'll
the case of a senator resigning being to
follow the mandate of the constitution
and make the appointment pending the
meeting of the legislature. The COVER
nor is held by these to be the medium
through which the resignation ultimate
ly reaches the senate. It must be pre-
sented along with the appointment be-
fore the new senator is seated. In the
meantime the governors office is the
depository for the resignation.

THROUGH TROLLEY CARS.
Will Be Run from Scranton to Car
bondale, Commencing with Mon
day Next

An important announcement in con-
nection with the movement of trolley
cars between Scranton and Carbon
dale is that beginning with Monday
next, through cars VIII be run between
the two cities.
The Scranton Railway company Of
ficials have had this under adviscment
ever since the requirement of this end
of the road and but for the interruption
caused by the paving OF North Main
avenue i'm Scranton the plan OF
through cars would have been in opcr-
alton some time ago. II will be re-
FIRE eshing to learn that the railway
company means to abatc, which had
descended to a nuisance. the veXatious
delays that were encountered during
journey from Carbondale to Scranton
and vice versa. The change of opera
tion will be appreciated; this need
hardly he suggested. also that the
change can take place none too soon.
The reward to the long suffering pa
irons of the road seems to be at hand,
and If the change works as well as is
expected, the company will receive
many a benediction, which is not true
OF the past.
The plan is to have the cars run
from Scranton through TO Church
street switch. in this city. Two hours
will be allowed for a single trip. This
is considered as ample time to cover
the journey, and will prevent a LAY
over of several minutes in this city.
The round trip, as figured in the
schedule, will consume four hours. The
company proposes to run the new
cars, the large ones, and with their
facilities for speed. 1t is calculated that
the sixteen or more miles between here
and Scranton can be covered i'm some
what less than two hours, but this
many hours are allotted the crews to
overcome possible delays.
Cars from Carbondale to points
north will be between the Eighth ave-
nue. switch and Forest City. There
will be no change in the schedule by
reason of the new plan Of running.
The older cars will be kept in sar-
vice on the division, as it were. from
| the Eighth avenue switch. There are
| several reasons for this. foremost of
| which are that these will be Of ample
| size to accommodate the number of
| passengers carried between these
| points and that the new large cars
would be handicapped by lack of pow
| er, the loss of energy being so great
| at such a distance from the power
| house. What is technically named a
| booster" such as is in use on the
| Harvey's Lake line, would overcome
| this, but this is only one of the pos
sibilities of the trolley car service in
| this section.
The first trip of the now open cars
| what the railway men call the
| twelve seatcrs'-was successfully
| made over the line from Scranton yes
| terday. In order to allow of their pas
! sage through the switches, the latter
! had to he widened somewhat. This
| work has been completed, and every
thing is in readiness for the through
| cars.
