But when they had all gone. the men
who admired her and the women who
feared her. the memory of the blue
gray eyes came back with insistent
strength. She turned out the lights,
leaving only the dull crimson glow
from the tulip shaped lamp, and under

broad. white forehead resting on her
jeWecd hand.
When she rose. Il pink flush was
creeping over the pearl gray heavens.

too, intent on her husbands early

BRITISH TRADE MENACED.
BOTH HOUSES IN ENGLAND DISCUSSING
AMERICAN SHIPPING COMBINATIONS.

London. July S.-Lord Brassey QiberaD
opened a discussion naval matters in the
House Of Lords to-day. when he deplored the
fact that Great Britain had lost the place she
once held with her mercantile marine. The
question Of subsidies, he thought, must depend
on the action of the other powers. All the naval
powers of Europe the speaker asserted. gave
liberal subsidies, while President Roosevelt and
Secretary Gage had recommended this policy.
1t was contrary to British policy to foster in
dustries by bounties protection. but to pay for
a reserve of auxiliary vessels would certainly
be TO the public advantage.
Lord Seborne, the First Lord Of the Ad-
miralty, in the course of reply referred TO
the Atlantic shipping combination. He SAID II
seemed to him that the balance was one OF dis
advantage to the combination, because 1t neces-
sarily placed large powers in the hands OF a
few men. The government disclaimed any sort
of jealousy of the intention of the Americans
here They had American marine of their
own, and they had IL perfect right to full
share Of the Atlantic trade. 1t was to British
interest that they should have it. 1t should
not be British monopoly. On the other hand,
Great Britain could not afford TO see herself
squeezed out of the Atlantic trade. The atti-
tude Of the government, therefore. was not one
Of hostility, but of anxiety, and not until they
had formed final opinion of the whole question
could they wisely fairly enter into agree
ments with one party or the other.
1t would never do to rely in time of war on
merchant ships of other nations for the pur-
poses of the British carrying trade. Great
Britain had fallen behind in regard 10 vessels
of high speed, because she had not given heavy
subsidies. like other nations. The expense of
so large subsidy policy was so insdious that
in his opinion the subsdizing Of commercial
corporations should and must be confined TO
limited number and for a special and definite
purpose. While merchant cruisers had their
proper place, In time of war they could never
be substituted for naval cruisers nor would
the possession Of merchant cruisers ever dimin-
ish the shipbuildng vote for the navy.
In the House Of Commons to-day the Paria-
mentary Secretary to the Admiralty, H. c. Ar
nold-Forster, replying to William Redmond,
the Irish leader, confirmed the report that J.
Pierpont Morgan had offered to pledge all the
British ships in the combination at the
disposal Of the Admiralty for the next fifty
years, on certain terms Mr.. Arnold Forster
added that the offer had not yet been accepted
because it could only be dealt with in relation
10 British shipping generally and the Atlantic
trade position. which was being carefully con-
sidered by the government.

LORD KITCHENER's RECEPTION.

London. July s-The programme for the re-
ception Of Lord Kitchener upon his arrival
from South Africa is similar TO the one carried
out upon the occasion Of the home coming of
Lord Roberts. the commander in chief Of the
forces.
After his welcome at Southampton Lord Kitch-
ener is expected 10 reach London at noon on July
-. He viii be escorted to st. James's Palace
where he will be entertained at luncheon by
the Prince Of Wales. The Prince will act for
the King. and It is said that his majesty. were
81 not for his illness, would have honored Lord
Kitchener by entertaining him at luncheon as
he did Lord Roberts.
The resolution adopted by the London County
Council TO tender TO Lord Kitchener the con-
gratulations Of London upon the successful
termination Of the South African war was op-
posed by the labor members of the Council and
by Lord Russell OiberaD. who remarked that
he could not forget or forgive the judicial muir
der OF Commandant Scheepers. The resolution
was PASSED with only dozen dissenting votes

MUST PAY ALIMONY IN FULL.
WILLIAM S. LIVINGSTON NOT ALLOWED TO
REDUCE THE AMOUNT. ALTHOUGH
HIS FINANCIAL CONDITION
HAS CHANGED.

William s Livingston, from whom his wife.
Mary W. secured an absolute divorce several years
ago. must continue TO pay her alimony at the rate
of 81 600 a year Mrs. Livingston secured decree
from her husband in 1892. and he was ordered to
nav her s4OOO a year. After the decree had been
granted Livingston went to another State and
married In violation of the terms OF the decree.
Subsequently Mrs. Livingston married 10 II
Mason Raborg.
Recently, Livingston, under plea that his
financial condition had changed for the worse. ap-
pealed to a special term of the Supreme Court for
a reduction of the amount of alimony. The affair
was heard before 4 referee, who reported that the
alimony should be reduced TO sS.O00 year. Justice
Truax confirms the referees report. and an order
was entered that the alimony should be reduced
81 600 a year.
In the original decree. II is said, reservation
was made by the court for modification OF the
decree in case there a change in the financial
condition of either Mr.. or Mrs. Livingston. A re-
cent act of the legislature. however, cOnfers power
on Supreme Court justices TO modify tudgment in
divorce actions. even though no provision has been
made for a modification in the original decree.
After the entering of the order reducing the ali
rnony Mrs Livingston appealed to the Appellate
Division In opinion written by Justice 1nsra-
nam and concurred in by Justices O'Brien. Hatch
and Patterson the recent legislative act is declared
Unconstitutional and Justice Truax's order re-
versed. A dissenting opinion is written by Justice
McIaughlin

WEST POINT IMPROVEMENTS.
A LARGE TRACT OF LAND TO BE RE.

GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
Washington, July S-Extensive developments OF
the West Point military reservation, involving the
reclamation of about eighteen hundred acres of
land. at present useless, will be undertaken In
connection with the expenditure of 5000 900 for
buildings and improvements at the Military
Academy. Secretary Root to-day approved the
ment of a forester and a landscape architect for
this purpose. The reservation includes 234O acres.
but less than one-third of this available for
tactical instruction the rest being inaccessible
account of its hilly character and because ii is
covered with dense growth of hardwood timber
In this area it is proposed to build system of
roads and paths. to give 1t needed intelligent thin
ming out. and by the removal of dead timber and
brush protect 1t against the fires which do great
damage every fall and spring. 1t is thought that
enough hrewood will be secured to last the academy
several years and to pay the larger part Of the
cost of the improvement The Department OF Agr-
culture has been asked TO supply expert forester
which IT promises to do at nominal expense, and
Colonel Mills has been authorized to engage a
landscape architect. Some of the officers duty

of roads and the cutting of timber.
ments, besides largely increasing the opportunities
for tactical instruction. will greatly improve the
health of the reservation through the opening of
the thickets and the draining of the numerous
small concealed swamps. The roads will also
bring within easy reach of the campus many inter
esting historical points that are now visited with
extreme difficulty, and in some instances with
danger An effort will be made to perfect the
plans this summer and complete most OF the work
Secretary Root and Colonel Mills to-day continued

Secretary Root will visit West Point his re-
turn from Oyster Bay and give the improvements

DICKINSON PRAISES CHOATE.
REFERS TO THE AMBASSADOR AS A
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.

London, July S.-Speaking at the annual din
ner of the Hardwicke Society in London to-
night, Don NJ. Dickinson. of Detroit. who was
counsel for the United States before the Inter
national High Commission on the Behring Sea
claims in 1897. referred TO Joseph II. Choate
the United States Ambassador, as a possible
candidate for the Presidency of the United
States. The company consisted of several nun
dred members of the English bar. law lords and
Judges. The Earl of Desart, Director of Public
Prosecutions; Sir Charles Tupper. formerly
Prime Minister of Canada; Sir Edward George
Clarke formerly Solicitor General: Justice Bart
lett of New-York; Lord Hardwicke, Under Sec
retary for India, and other members OF the
government and a number of colonial judges
were among the guests.
Mr. Dickinson took Mr.. Choate's place as the
guest of honor. He prefaced his proposal Of
toast 10 the English bench by a tribute to Mr.
Choate Mr. Choate does not belong, said
Mr. Dickinson ito my party or to my govern
nent but it is very near the hearts of the
American people that he shall go from the
Court Of St James to the Presidential chair'
and I wish he may get there"
ANGLO-AMERICAN GOOD FEELING.
Mr. Dickinson voiced the Joy of the American
people at the certainty of the recovery OF the
'illustrous and beloved King OF England We
rejoice" he continued, with you in your joys
and sorrow with you in your griefs. That feel
ing has been expressed by no one more truly
than by President Roosevelt, who is as close TO
the people of America has been any Presi-
dent in the history of the republic" Mr.. Dick
inson compared President Roosevelt. amid the
enthusiastic cheers of those present TO Sir
Philip Sydney without fear and without re-
rroach."
Dealing with international feeling Mr.. Dick
inson said:
ceased to boast that alone are the cham
pions of liberty Wherever the British nag
floats to-day it stands for liberty.
He cited the recent dispatch OF Joseph Cham
herain, the Colonial Secretary. declaring that
the constitution OF Cape Colony should not be
suspended as an instance of Great Britains
love of liberty. He declared that America deep
ly sympathized with Mr.. Chamberlain in his re-
cent accident and concluded by saying:
Great Britain and the United States can make
the worlds freedom wider yet, not by alliance,
but by an understanding that we. the English
speaking nations, mean well by the rest OF the
world and that the other nations must not at
tack either one of US.
Mr. Dickinson was loudly cheered.
Lord Macnaghten, Lord of Appeal in Ordi-
nary, replying to Mr.. Dickinson declared that
American legal decisions were now held In re-
spect in England equal to that with which the
old English legal precedents held in the
United States.

FLOOD IN HEART OF CITY
WATER STILL RISING IN ROCHESTER
LAKE SHIPPING AT A STANDSTILL.
-IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE.I


Rochester. July S.-For the first time In
the history of Rochester for nearly one hum
dred years, the Genesee River is at flood
height in July. A muddy torrent is rushing
through the heart of the city and paralyzng
all shipping at Charlotte Harbor, eating out
railroad embankments. undermining bridges and
flooding cellars. Fences. haystacks. outhouses
and hundreds of trees being carried over
the falls and fouling the bridges. The water
at o'clock this afternoon was within two feet
of the highest mark ever reached by the river
the time when it flowed through the main
streets OF the city and caused an immense
amount of damage last March. 1t is still rising
The greatest damage is being done at Char
lotte. where lake shipping. both passenger and
freight. is practically at standstill. Tugs with
their tows are unable TO reach the coal chutes,
on account of the tremendous sweep of the cur
rent and the dangerous drifting trees. The
steam ferry at Charlotte was nearly swept out
into the lake this morning, and has been or
dered out of commission until the waters sub
side.
Dispatches from up the river state that w.
H. Burtis, an insurance agent of this city, was
caught on an island in the upper river near
Nunda Saturday with his wife. son and friend,
and for forty-eight hours was without food,
shelter or assistance. The river kept rising
every moment and for a time the little party
gave up all hope of being rescued They were
taken off at last by farmers. The loss by the
food to farmers up the valley will be fully as
great that caused by the cloudbursts in the
lake district.

KINGS CORONATION SOON.

PLACE IN AUGUST CONFIRMED.
CBy The Associated PressD

(By The Associated Press)
London, July S.-The news that the corona
ton of King Edward was to be held before the
middle of August was published in America be-
fore it known here. 'The London Times
and other papers this morning confirm the an
nouncement. From the same excellent source 1t
was learned to-day that an early coronation
was due TO the personal insistence of the King
His doctors at first opposed to such an
early date but the King declined to agree to
any other plans until he is crowned and the
doctors finally realizing that more danger
likely TO arise in opposing his majesty on this
point, agreed to it. They now see that 1t is far
better for the King to get through the turmoil
of the coronation as soon as possible. King
Edward has determined not to break up the
court at Buckingham Palace until after the
coronation. He may go on board his yacht for
a few days cruise, but he is more likely to re-
main in London till the affair is over. and then
take a prolonged rest

TO consider the replies TO circulars advocating Joint
