BRITISH AMBASSADOR PRESENT
Presented Credentials Mt Temporary
White House.

Washington, Oct. 1 4.-According to
an appointment Sir Michael Herbert,
the new British ambassador, was pre-
sented to the president by Secretary
Hay. The presetation took place at
| the temporary White House on jackson
square, and this was probably the first
occasion since the White House has
been occupied as tn presidential man
sion that the credentials of an am
bassador or minister have been received
outside its doors.
Instead of calling at the state de-
partment first, which is the usual course
the ambassador proceeded directly to
the TEMPORARY White House, with the
full staff of the embassy in their
diplomatic uniforms. Secretary Hay,
meeting him a this point, presented
him to the president in the parlor of
second floor of the house.
The presentation was made in the
usual form, with the important excep-
ton that the president, though, progress
ing rapidly toward recovery, heed his
physicians warning and remained seat
ed, not attempting to stand on his
wounded leg.
The ceremony was brief, consisting
in the presentation of the new ambass-
ador by Secretary Hay. the delivery by
the ambassador of his credentials and
a delicious address by the ambassador
expressive of the pleasure it gave him
to return to Washington, and appro-
pirate response by the president. That
was all of the ceremony and when it
was over, Sir Michael, who is a long
time friend of the president, their
acquaintance dating back more than 10
years, accepted Mr.. Roosevelt's in
vitation to be seated, and the two had
a long personal talk. The new am
bassador will take next rank after
Signor Mayor DIES Planches, the Italian
ambassador. The foreign embassies
here now rank in this order:
Germany, Russia, Mexico, Italy and
Great Britain, with Austria Hungary
next as Mr.. Henglemuller probably
will present his credentials as ambassa-
dor before the new representative from
France arrives and is presented A
few short speeches were exchanged.

now visiting England are undergoing
somewhat similar experiences of English
hospitality to that of the colonial premiers
during coronation time. From now until
October Is, when they will sail for home,
Generals Corbin and Young will have not
meal they can call their own. Beginning
with the king, whose action in inviting
them to luncheon at Buckingham palace
next Monday, the first week day he will
be in London. has caused much favorable
comment, they have received invitations
from numerous societies and individuals.
Lieutenant Mckinley, who was aide de
camp, and has had most of the arranging
of details to supervise. said to a repre-
believed even Mr.. Cortelyou, President
Roosevelt's secretary, had scarcely a
more difficult task.
Both General Corbin and General Young
expressed to the representative of the
Associated Press their keen appreciation
of the many attentions shown them.
Earl Roberts has been untiring in afford
ing them attentions and the American
generals are looking forward to their visit
with him to Woolwich and to General
French at Aidershot next week with
great pleasure. Only one note of disap-
pointment is heard and that comes from
the STAFF who are not included in the invi-
tauon to Buckingham palace. While the
American officers were in Germany. EN-
peror William always asked the staff to
attend functions with the generals. Cen
eral Wood will arrive here Sunday in time

NEW ORLEANS STRIKE Is OFF
Street Railway Employees Get an In
crease in Wages.

street halfway employees yet an In
crease in Wages.
New Orleans, Oct. 10. The strike of
the street railway employees, which has
effectually blockaded traffic on all city
lines for two weeks, has been settled by
the union agreeing almost unanimously
with the governors ultimatum. The
general basis of the agreement is that
they will go back to work at 20 cents
and 10 hours, with a minimum of
seven hours day ,ho discrimination to
be made against any of the men under
charges and as many to be taken as are
needed for the operation of the COM
pany's lines. The hitch was on the
taking back of the men under charges,
but the railway company finally con-
coded this, allowing the courts to de-
eide the guilt of the men.
The credit for the settlement is large
ly due to w. S. Parkinson, who took
up the cause of the strikers and labored
indefatigably all night and day con-
vincing them that they could hope for
nothing better and that they could not
prevail against VIC Military SenG mere.
United States Senator Foster, Gov
renor Heard and Mayor Capdeville
were all instrumental in some degree
in bring about the final result.
There is wide spread rejoicing over
the settlement of the strike. The strike
began two weeks ago, and since then
not single passenger has been carried
and no passenger car has been run more
than five blocks from the barn.

FRENCH BALoONIsTs KILLED
For Some Reason the Rope Broke and
They Dropped.

Paris, Oct. 10. - Debradski, the
aeroanut, and companion, were killed
by falling from dirigible balloon. The
balloon started from the aero station at
Vaugiraird, suburb of this city, on
trial trip. After preliminary maneu-
vers with rope attachment, Debradski
released the balloon and proceeded south
ward at 3 height of 800 or 400 feet.
The propellers of the machine appeared
to work we'll; the rudder, however, was
not quite successful. Soon the balloon
had returned to above the ground of
departure, and then it gradually
mounted higher and higher, until! it
disappeared in the clouds When the
balloon was above ST. Aims, near ST.
Dennis, about miles from the center
of the city, the ropes attaching the car
to the balloon broke fom some unknown
cause and the car with its occupants,
Debradski and NORM, was dashed to
the ground and the aeronauts met in
slant death. The balloon disappeared
in the clouds.

In many parts of Saxony the peasants

Spokane, Wash, May 5.-Parts of
four townships, embracing 41,79s. rs
acres Of surveyed lands IN eastern
Stevens county were thrown open to
settlement today. The new lands bor-

are about thirty miles north Of the
town Of Newport. The tract can be
reached by several routes, the easiest
of which is via the Great Northern
from this city to Newport and thence
by steamer.
The region contains considerable
meadow and agricultural land. Such
land, however, is to be found only in
spots Of . few hundreds acres. The
region is generally billy, and in some
places rough and mountainous. 1t is
reported that there is considerable
timber in the district, and that it is
really more valuable for Its timber
than its agricultural resources. The
district is also :mineralized, but no
important developments have been
made. 1t is especially notable for its
immense deposits of limestone. The
famous Portland cement works is
located on the Pend d Oreille river,
near the new lands. Immediately to
