VISITED WITH KING EDWARD
N. Y. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
TNventy-ODe Americans Representing
Many Millions Were the Kings
Guests - Visitors Impressed and
King PIeased-Quccn Also Present.

Windsor, June 3.-Twenty-one Amer
lean gentlemen dressed in the deep
black of British court mourning, men
representing many millions of money
and vast commercial interests, were
the guests of King Edward recently at
Windsor. They were the delegates of
New York chamber of commerce. The
visit was arranged by the London
chamber of commerce, the president of
which, Lord Bressey, accompanied the
American party. The visitors were i'm
pressed and pleased by their audience
with the king, who, the Associated
Press learns was just as interested at
meeting them as they were at meeting
him. The king had expressed consid-
cradle curiosity to see what manner of
men these multi-millionaires might be,
especially Messrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. AS regards the latter the king was
disappointed, for Mr.. Carnegie was un-
able to be present.
From the king down all the officials
concentrated their attention on Mr..
Morgan. Their curiosity was not un-
mixed with awe. One of the high Off
GERS of the household humorously con-
fessed that an inspection of the list of
visitors made them tremble lest Mr..
Morgan or one of the other millionalres
should take a fancy to Windsor and
buy it. Apart from this personal point
of view, the Associated Press was Off
cially informed by Lord Pelham-Clin-
ton. the master of the household, that
the king regarded the presence in Eng
land of such a representative body of
american business men as highly sig
nificant of the close and friendly rela-
tions existing between the two coun-
tries and in furtherance of that feeling
he was delighted to welcome them to
his castle and make their acquaintance.
After an inspection of the grounds,
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the king. They were surprised to find
that the queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.
With the king and queen were the
Princess Victoria and the children OF
the duke and duchess of Cornwall and
York. Each delegate was formally pre-
sented to both the king and queen,
shaking their hands This ceremony
over, the king asked the visitors to re-
place their hats on their heads and both
he and the queen then commenced to
chat in the most friendly way with the
little group. The king remembered
meeting previously William Butler
Duncan and James w. Pinshot, much
to their establishment. The king appar-
emily avoided business and politics, be-
yond reiterating how glad he was to
meet so many we'll known men from
America When the audience was over
the delegates partook of a small feast
and repassed the king and queen, who
were having tea IN the garden. The
king stood up, took off his hat and
bowed his farewell. The delegates then
returned to London.

Japs Also in It-One Frenchnan
Was TxilIed--Others Wounded.

Tientsin, June 4.-There was a serious
affray between international troops. Some
British Fusiliers, who were acting as po-
lice here, sought to prevent French sol
diers from housebreaking, when they were
attacked with bayonets and bricks The
Fusiliers, in self defense, fired in the air.
This brought a number of Germans to the
aid of the Frenchmen. They numbered
altogether 300 men. Five Fusiliers fired
again, killing a Frenchman and wounding
three others. In subsequent fighting four
Fusiliers, five Germans and one japanese
were wounded. The arrival of a German
officer and strong guard ended the
fray.

Case of the Philippines.

Chicago, June "a special from
Washington says: The supreme court has
another surprise in store for the country.
Unless it changes its mind between now
and October, the date of its next meeting,
the court will decide the Philippine case
in favor of the government. 1t will be an
other decision by divided bench and
upon most extraordinary grounds, towit:
First-That the United States has never
declared its intention to retain the Phil
ippines indefinitely, and the ordinary dec
laration of policy which had been made
was in the other direction, looking to-
ward a mere temporary occupation, the
United States being a sort of trustee for
the people of the Philippines, as it was a
trustee for the people of Cuba.
Second-That in any event the United
States at the time duty complained
of was imposed 1.-THE IA diamond rings)
was not in the actual possession of the
Philippines, but the United States wag-
ing war for such possession and such con-
troll as the United States had was limited
to the operations of military authority.

Brynn DisapprOves.

Lincoln, Neb, June 3.-Taking for
his text the words, Emperor Mckinley
w. j. Bryan gave out an extended state
ment bearing on the supreme court de
cision in the insular cases. Mr.. Bryan
frankly admits that the courts verdict is
extremely distasteful to him, and the Ian
guage he employs is more vigorous than is
customary even for him.
He boldly declares that the supreme
court has joined hands with the president
and congress in an effort to change our
form of government, and he calls on the
people to repudiate the verdict.

Trade REPORT.

Bradstreet's report of trade for last
week is as follows:
Unreasonable weather was the key of
the situation last week, discouraging
as it has been to retail trade in the
cities and country districts alike, and
retarding the growth of most crops,
but particularly corn and oats in the
northern states. Withal, however,
there is a feeling prevalent that a few
weeks of warm, sunny weather, de-
cided lack of which has so far been
noted this spring, would do much to
place matters commercial and agricul-
tural in as good or better condition
than a year ago. Apart from this the
week has been without much exchange,
except that a rather better spirit has
been visible in the industrial market
and some progress has been made. The
situation in textiles has not changed
materially. The steadiness of prices is
still a feature, those for cereals being
as high, or slightly higher, than week
ago, as much owing to bad crop reports
from abroad as to the tales of dry
weather damage in the northwest to
wheat and too cool weather for corn in
the country as a whole.
AS for some time past, new business
in iron and steel is small, while produc-
ton on orders is at the maximum
Steel billets are primarily scarce and
soc higher, while Bessemer pig iron is
dull and off Csc. Southern iron is dull
and weak and present quotations could
be cut soc if business was offered.
Finished products are generally
strong and the mills are still crowded
with business. Rail mills have a sea-
sons output guaranteed and wire nails
are pushed with orders, and bar and
plate production is sold ahead. Rumors
of advances to come after July l are
heard, but tangible offers in this res
pect with new business in small vol
ume. Hardware is in good shape and
May sales at Chicago were the heaviest
for any month this year.
Wheat (including f1our) shipments
for the week aggregate 4,13S,970 bush
els. against 4, 796,0S bushels last week;
4,533, 140 bushels the same week of
1900; 4,596,065 bushels in 1899, and
5,249, 0S6 bushels in 1898.
From July to date, this season,
wheat exports are 1874 1877, 632 bushels,
against 1S2,926, 706 bushels last season,
and 213, 4S9, $40 bushels in 1S98-99
Failures for the week numbered 144,
against 1872 last week; 1876 in this week
a year ago, and 129 in 1899. Canadian
failures number 81, against "a last
week, q year ago, and Is in 1899.

beyond Control.

New York, June 4.-The fire at the Jer-
sey colliery OF the Lackawanna company
at Wilkesbarre which has been raging for
10 days, is now beyond control. There is
no chance of putting it out by the man

the mine. A conference of o. .cials has met
to devise a better means of extinguishing
it. A shaft will be sunk to reach the
working at a point at the back of
the fire and an effort made to extinguish
it in that way.

promptly extracted disappear again.
Two reputable newspapers-the Main and

him was a public bathing resort. A few
days later while in Pisa, and wandering

were delighted to meet him. They had

Gentleman.

There is probably but one definition OF
the word gentleman" yet there are
many ways Of expressing hatdehnition.
Thackeray gives perhaps the most direct
and pleasing expression Of the word in
the following: "To be a gentleman is
to be honest, TO be gentle, TO be generous,
to be brave, to be wise, and, possessing
all these qualities, to use them In the
most graceful outward manner"
At another time the great novelist de-
fines gentleman In these words;
Perhaps a gentleman Is rarer man
than some Of us think. Which OF us can
point out many such in bis circle; men
whose aims are generous; whose truths
not only constant in kind, but elevated
in it's degree; whose want Of meanness
makes them simple; who can look the
world honestly in the face with an equal
manly sympathy for the great and the
small?"
Huxley defines the word in this manner:
"Thoughtfulness for Others, generos-
ity, modesty and eeIf-respect are the
qualities which make a real gentleman
or lady, as distinguished from the We
aeered article which commonly goes by
that name"
