LONDON, Aug. 6.-The royal yacht
Victoria and Albert, with King Ed
ward on board, left Cowes at 80 this
afternoon for Portsmouth. The harbor
station at Portsmouth was reached
shortly after2 o'clock. A special train
to convey his majesty to London await
ed his arrival at Portsmouth.
The royal yacht was moored along
side the dockyard jetty at Portsmouth.
Two Japanese warships fired salutes
and were followed by all the commits
stoned ships in the harbor. The king
was officially received at the landing
place by Admiral Sir Charles Frederick
Hotham and Gen. Sir Baker Greed
Russell.
guard of honor was mounted on
the dockyard jetty.
Judging by appearances, the king not
only will be able to go through the
coronation ceremonies, but will be per-
fectly capable of performing all func-
tons of the service without discom-
fort. His return to London was .ac-
complished without any ill-effects and
his first public appearance since he
was operated upon delighted even those
who had the most serious apprehen-
sions with regard to the kings condi-
ton. The group of railway officials

ment is that the appearance of the
revolutionary war vessel off the har-
Dor alarmed the government authori-
ties and having no ship at hand to
meet her, they proposed to press the
Quito into service, possibly for the
purpose of arming her and sending her
out to meet the insurgent vessel.
When the property of one nation is
threatened in this fashion, in the alb
sence of warship of that particular
country, it is customary for a Warship
of a friendly nation, when appealed to,
to protect the property of the country
requesting aid. But it is not proper
for Warship of one country to proffer
protection unless formally requested to
do so. Instructions to this effect were
Immediately sent to Commander Pot
ter, and if the British consul at Pan
anna should appeal to the Ranger for
assistance to prevent the Selling of
the Quito, Commander Potter will be
expected to adopt the same method to
prevent seizure which he would if the
Quito were an American ship. The
situation is considered critical if Com
mander Potter's information as to the
contemplated action of the authorities
should prove to be correct.

and court functionaries who awaited
the train exhibited many signs of un-
easiness which were not lacking among
the crowds which damned the ap-
proaches to the Victoria station in
which a squad Of life guards had been
placed. To-
He Walks Unassisted.,
A four horse royal carriage with
relocated drivers was drawn up
to await the arrival of the train. The
king, accompanied by the Queen and
Princess Victoria, stepped out of the
car and walked across a crimson cloth
on the platform some twenty yards to
his carriage. The Queen and Princess
Victoria entered the vehicle and the
king followed, apparently without diff
ficulty and four royal servants placed
rugs about his knees.
The king stood up straight as if he
had never had an illness in his life,
took off his hat and bowed to friends
on the platform and the crowds behind
the barriers. He seemed to be in the
greatest good humor and evidently was
delighted to get back. Despite a few
drops of rain which fell, he drove out
with the top of the carriage down. His
face was perpetually lighted up with
a smile of satisfaction and he was in
appearance anything but an invalid.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and
their children drove over to- Bucking-
ham palace from York house, and just
before their majesties arrived they ap
peared OH the palace balcony and were
loudly cheered by the crowds outside.
The demonstration increased as the
king approached and after their majes-
ties had entered the palace, the crowd
sang, God Save the King several
times U II
Arrival in London.
The departure from Portsmouth was
made at $40. The train, which was
preceded by a pilot engine, reached
Victoria station at $50 p. IN. The
station was decorated in honor of his

| was allowed the public, except to the
| platform reserved for his majesty.
The king appeared to be in excellent

caused by the operation gave him an

throngs on the route to the pa.~ce
The Queen and Princess Victoria rode

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. g.
Northern Montana cattle have reached
the record on rangers for the Chicago
market, not only reaching it, but go
ing far above it and topn' Ig the mar
ket for all time.
Twenty years ago $3.50 per hundred
was reached for Montana range cattle
upon the Chicago market, and the rec
ord has stood since that time, being
reached last year by the Keeline ship
ment from Wyoming, and the figures
have stood as the record.
This record was broken into pieces
and the Northern Montana cattlemen
who heard the news have been smiling
all kinds of smiles. The Bloom COM
pany shipment from Malta was the
record breaker and the shipment was
about the fourth large shipment for
the year of Montana range cattle.
There were twenty-five cars of cat
tie in the Bloom shipment, and twenty
cars, averaging 1850 pounds, sold for
$3.50, equaling the record A4ontana
price previous. The other two car
loads averaged 1852 and sold for $3.50

RESUME OF TRAcY's DEEDS.
Killed Many Men and Performed As
founding Feats of DARING.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug 6.-Harry
Tracy escaped from the Oregon state
penitentiary at Salem on June 9, in
company with David Merrill, after
killing four men-Frank w. Terrell,
G. r. T. Jones and B. F. Tiffany,
guards, and Frank Ingraham, a con-
Wet who tried to prevent his flight.
On June 2S Tracy killed Merrill near
Napavine, Wash, shooting him from
behind and leaving his body in the
forest, where it was found on July Is.
On July 8, near Seattle, in fight with
a posse, Tracy shot and killed Charles
Raymond, deputy sheriff. and E. E.
Bresse, a policeman, and mortally
wounded Neil Rawley, who died on
the following day, and seriously
wounded Carl Anderson, a newspaper
reporter.
Tracy committed many feats of dar-
ing during his flight, in which he elud-
ed various posses when apparently
surrounded, and held up farmers,
whom he forced to furnish food and
clothing, and by threats of numbering
their families compelled them to COW
er up his tracks. Perhaps his greatest
show of daring was displayed on July
2, at South Bay, when he held up six
men and forced four, including Capt.
Clark, of a large gasoline launch, to
embark with him on Puget sound and
pilot him up stream for ten hours.
In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine
Hoge, a Colorado cattleman, and Will
liam Strong, boy, in the same state,
A total reward of $500 was offered
for his arrest. Gov. Mcbride, of
Washington, offered $4,000 for his cap
ture, dead or alive. The state of Ore
gon offered $4,000, and a brother of
one of the guards killed at the peni-
Tertiary offered 500.
The reward for Merrill's capture
amounted to $1,000, which has been
claimed by Mrs. Waggoner, the berry
picker, and her son, who found the
body near their home.
