INDIAN PRINCES ENTERTAINED.
Wonderful Reception That Cost About
n Quarter of a Million.

LONDON, July 4.-The Prince of Wales.
in behalf of King Edward, received the
Indian princes in London at the Indian Of
flee tonight. The entertainment was one of
the most brilliant ever witnessed in Lon
don. Members of the royal family
were present and occupied a private
box overlooking the main hall. The guests
of the evening included all the royal rep
reSentatiVeS 70 the coronation who are still
in London as well as the greater number
the building were magnificent and cost, in
Guiding the furniture and hangings, not
far from $4,000. The flowers alone cost
$1,000 The great reception hall was trans
formed by palms, ferns and orchids into
semblance of an Indian garden. A feature
of the decorations was an immense ceiling
cover, painted TO represent the Indian
armament in which the stars and con-
stellations were accurately depicted.
Electric lights behind the cover were util-
lied TO make each star Scintillate in a real
electric lights were employed in the il
Elimination of the building. The rooms were
cooled by mountains of ice, clothed with
masses of rare plants and flowers.
Three thousand guests were invited to
attend the reception. All the gentlemen
present wore uniforms or court dress, and
the ladies were clad in most elaborate and
bejeweled costumes, but they were all out
dazzled by the gorgeous attire and the pro-
fusion of jewels worn by the Indian princes.
Such a picturesque spectacle had never
been witnessed in London since the visit
of the Sultan of Turkey thirty years ago.
So many people who applied for invita-
tions were disappointed that the India
Office has decided TO illuminate the rooms
for their benefit tomorrow night.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
rived al ii O'Clock and were received by
a guard of honor from the Indian contin-
gent. The procession formed at the For
eign Office. 1t was headed by members of
the Indian council and marched through
the corridors. which were lined with In
dian troops, to the India Office. While the
Princess of Wales remained on the balcony
the prince traversed the length of the hall
to the dais where all the Indian potentates
were assembled There under a crimson
canopy bearing the royal arms and sup
ported by four dusky Indians clothed in
white. the Prince of Wales received the
presentation of swords to the Kings repre-
sentative by the Indian officers. This cere-
mony was followed by a supper, music and
social intercourse between those present

TREATY FOR The CANAL
NEGOTIATIONS PROBABLY WILL BE-
GIN IN ABOUT WEEK.
Complete Authority Has Been Given
the Colombian Minister-DetaiIs of
Rental and Jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The negotiations
for the treaty between the United States
and Colombia, which will require the right
to build the Panama canal. will begin in
about one week, Minister Concha, of
Colombia having conferred with Secretary
Hay on the preliminaries of the negotia-
tions Mr.. Hay will be out of the city for
the next few days and on his return the
negotiations will begin. Minister Concha
has been fully clothed with authority to
proceed with the treaty.
The main features of the treaty are pref
ty we'll settled. as the protocol signed some
time ago was quite full in setting forth
the prospective arrangement in case Con-
gress acted favorably On the Panama route.
The amount to be paid Colombia for a re-
linquishment of exclusive rights to the
United States will be S7OOO.OOO in gold. pay
able on the exchange of ratifcations of the
treaty and in addition Colombia is TO re-
ceive an annuity at the end Of fourteen
years, to be determined by mutual agree
ment at that time. This annuity is ex-
pected to be $6OO,0O0 a year, : the i'm
mediate payment of $7.OO000O covering the
period Of the next fourteen years is con-
sidered basis for fixing the annual rental
at 100000.
In transferring the rights of Colombia to
the United States. the language used by
the act of Congress will be followed TO a
considerable extent. and this will provide
transfer of such jurisdiction over the six
mile zone as will permit the exercise Of
American authority, with American courts
sanitary officers, police, etc. The question
of transferring complete political SOW
ereignity is about the only point which
could raise obstacles to the negotiations,
but il is expected that this point will be
avoided. the act of Congress appears to
| contemplate a transfer of jurisdiction and
not a transfer of political sovereignty.
The Colombia officials in Washington look
/ forward to a successful consummatio Of
/ the negotiations. They say, however, that
! there is far less popular demand in Colom-
/ bia for the Panama canal than there is in
! Nicaragua for that route and this apathy
/ may delay the conclusion of negotiations
! The treaty will have to be ratified by the
| United States Senate and the Colombian
! Congress before it becomes effective.

house talking with his father. stepmother

HIS HOME UNKNOWN.

Efforts to Locate Family of Man
Who Died i'm Ambulance, Futile.
The remains of William Redfern, the
young man who died in the ambulance
while en- route to the hospital on Mon
day night, are still at the undertaking
establishment of Fox e Weeks. where
they were taken Immediately after his
death. Persistent effort was made yes
terday to locate some relative of the
young stranger, but all attempts proved
futile.
Even the young man, Winchester,
who had been seen with Redfern more
often than had any one else during his
six weeks stay in the city, had never
had any information impaired to him
by the young man as to his former life
or any Of his connections Not even
had he divuiged from whence he had
come. Nearly a dozen kilograms were
sent yesterday by Mr.. II. H. Burger
his former employer, but none were
productive of any information, and the
mystery surrounding the young mans
life has in no wise been cleared away.
The body was embalmed. To-day
another effort will be made to find
some one who knows something of the
young mans family. and if this can
not be done the remains will be buried
here. The dead man left some little
money-his weeks wages-but this will
not Suffice to defray the expenses in
cident to his funeral so that wen if
h S parents or relatives are not found
tomorrow, the effort 10 locate them
Will no. end at his funeral.

Benevolent Association Held Meet
ing and Elected Officers.
The quarterly meeting of the Police
Benevolent Society was held last night
in the court room at the barracks at
73O o'clock. The attendance was large
and much interest was manifested in
the proceedings. The principal bust

The same officers which have held
office for the past year were elected
for the ensuing year. These are:
President-Supt. Owen Reilly.
Vice President-Sergt. w. II. Powell,
o. S. S. Co. patrolman.

new trustee being Detective Julius
Stark The board of trustees consists
of Detective ]. j. Murphy, Detective j.
J. Stark, Officer NJ. McQuade, officer
J. F. Halford and officer j. ]. Deignan.
The report of the treasurer showed
that the association is in good finan-
cial condition. The report showed that
the sale of the History of the Folice
Department had not been what was
anticipated, though a neat sum had
been realized from that source. The
object of the association is mutual
benefit, specified amount being given
to the widows of deceased or incapaci-
tated members. The association has
accomplished vast amount of good
during it's existence, and now num-

SHREWD CROOK NABBED.
Negro of Many AIiases and Alleged
Crimes Placed in Jail.

trlmes Placed In jail
Bud Jones. alias Bud Nat, alias VIII
Freyer, an Augusta negro believed to
be wanted there and in other places
for various crimes, was arrested by
County Detective Charlton and Deputy
Sheriff Fennell yesterday morning and
given a cell in the Jail
The officers were looking for the ne
gro who murdered a Chinaman in Au-
gusta some time ago, and for a time
believed they had the right man. A
telegram to the Morning News from
Augusta, however, indicates that the
man under arrest is not known to the
Augusta police by any of the names he
has borne within the knowledge of the
Savannah authorities.
Jones was picked up in the yard of
the saloon kept by Howard Scherer, at
the corner of Harrison and West Broad
streets, where a number of negroes of
more or less unsavory regulations are
usually to be found
He submitted TO arrest quietly
enough, telling the officers he knew
when he was UP against it," Beyond
admitting he had been in trouble be-
fore. he would not acknowledge his
completely in any crime and manifest
ed on the whole a shrewd ability to
keep his mouth shut
At the Jail yesterday he was identi-
ned by another Augusta negro as a
recent escape from the chain=ang of
Richmond county, who managed to
get away by committing a vicious as
sault upon one of the guards.
The man himself says his name is
viii Freyer and that he reached the
city night before last after trip of
some extent through Florida. He dis
claims ownership of any of the sew
eral other names by which the officers
say he has been known.

TAXPAYERS VERY SLOW.
Few of Them Have Settled for State
and County Taxes.

Few of Them Have Settled for State
and County Taxes.
Taxpayers are not falling over them
selves in their anxiety to get to the
tax collectors office and settle with
that official their Indebtedness to the
state and county. On the contrary,
they are very slow-perhaps even slow
er than good citizens usually are to
discharge these particular debts.
To-day Tax Collector Thomson will
begin an effort to jog their tickle MEM
cries. Notices will be sent to all the
delinquents, apprising them of the fact
that taxes are due and payable. and
that he is ready to receive payment.
1t is believed that this will serve to
increase in some degree the rather linn
tied amount of money now coming in.
The taxpayers, however, are not wor-
rying. They realize they have a couple
of months vet in which to make their
payments, and in accordance with a
custom that derives it's sanction and
sanctity from immemorial usage they
are deferring the day of payment I'M
til it can no longer be avoided. In
this manner they manage to save in
terest on their money!

them.
After his election Capt Howell went
for trip to the West He visited ST
Louis, where he was impressed by the
progress that is being made in pre-
pairing for the Louisiana Purchase Ex-

exposition will be one of the finest
ever held.
Capt. Howell left at night for Old
Town, where he will be the guest of
Mr.. Hugh M. Conner for a day or two.
Mr.. Conner has invited him to have a
try at the white perch of the Ogeechee,
which are said to be biting ravenously.

Howell, who is fond of the sport, and.
also, has fancy for the excellent fish,
when, fresh-caught, they are served.
