Dine with the President.
New York, July 1.-Sir Thomas
Upton arrived yesterday on the steam
ship Oceanic, filled with a belief that
Shamrock III will Gift" the America
cup and bearing with him q rabbits
foot as a charm to ward off any bad
luck.
He showed it to General Corbin and
General Chaffee, who had gone out to
meet him, and declared that he had
received it from a woman The rab-
bit, Sir Thomas explained, was shot
in a cemetery on the 18th Of the month.
General Chaffee told him that to bring
good luck 1t should be the left hind
foot of a rabbit shot on a dark night
by a cross eyed, red haired negro on
the 18th of the month in an Arkansas
graveyard, but Sir Thomas persisted
in believing his charm ample.
When the Oceanic was reported Sir
Thomas's steam yacht Erin, conveyed
by the ocean tug Cruiser, started down
the bay. Ex-Commodore Smiths
yacht, Privateer, which has been the
regatta committees boat at all the
races Of the 80 footers held under New
York club auspices, also started out
to greet Sir Thomas. On Privateer
was Adjutant General Corbin, who vel
coined Sir Thomas on behalf Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. General Corbin bore
an invitation to Sir Thomas to take
luncheon at the White House on Fri
day, which was accepted. at

German Emperor Sends Telegram
Couched in Cordial Terms.
Belgrade, July 1.-The German en-
peror has sent King Peter a telegram
couched in cordial terms. The Aus
trian minister today resumed official
relations with the Servian govern
ment.
King Peter held a reception this
morning. Only two foreign diplomats,
the Russian and Austrian ministers,
attended. The representatives Of
three or four other countries are ap-
parently willing to recognize King Pc
ter but not the Servian cabinet, In
which Colonel Maschin, one of the
chief conspirators, holds a portfolio.
The kings reappointment of the min
istry yesterday is regarded as equiva-
lent to a notification that no punish
ment will be melted out to the assassins
of Alexander and Queen Draga.

RAILWAY TRAVEL IS HEAVY
Passenger Agents Predict a Record
BREAKING Year.

Breaking Year.
New York, July 1.-General passen-
ger agents Of the trunk lines and the
Western lines say that the volume Of
passenger traffic throughout this coun-
try now is SO great that a record-break-
ing year for this branch of railroad
traffic is indicated. Within the last FIVE
years some Of the railroads have more
than doubled their passenger business.
UP to date this year the principal in
crease In the number of passenger tick
cts sold by the railroads is for East
and West travel. This is said to be due
largely to the increase in population
In the Western states, the constant
current of immigration westward, and
the frequency with which Eastern and
Western people visit each other. The
tourist business also Is large.
A large proportion of the increase
in the through passenger traffic goes to
the Pacific coast lines. Special excur-
sions to the Yellowstone park, the
Grand canon of Arizona, and other
scenic resorts in the far West are be-
coming very popular.

War Begins Between Whites
and Negroes
DELAWARE SCENE OF TROUBLE
Shots Exchanged in Wilmington and
Several are Seriously Hurt
More Trouble Expected

Wilmington, Del, July IA riot
broke out in the streets here late last
hight between whites and negroes but
the arrival of the police quickly dis
persed the participants. Two negroes
we're arrested. A gang Of negroes
numbering probably 200, which had
been marching up and down Ninth
street, were challenged by about 20
white men and in the battle that fol-
lowed over 100 shots were exchanged.
Policeman McDermott and Green re-
ceived slight wounds. One negro,
James Mercer, was shot in the head
but his wound was not believed to be
serious.
In a brawl in another part of the
city, a negro was shot in the stomach
by a white man. He was taken to the
hospital in a serious condition.
The leaders of the negroes who"
we're marching on Ninth street, de-
clared they intended to resent the at
tacks made upon members of their
race the night before. They say they
have no sympathy for White, the ne
gro ~lynched here, but that most of the
negroes in and about Wilmington ap-
prove Of it.
AS a result of last nights riot, Will
liam Cramer, a negro, who was shot
during the disturbance in the negro
district, died today. William Simms
has been arrested charged with MUIR
dering Cramer. All is quiet today.
After the hearing before Magistrate
Hollis today Arthur Cornell, arrested
on the charge Of murder in connection
with the White lynching, was dismiss
ed, there being no evidence against
him. Leander Moore and Joseph Shock
ley. negroes, arrested for shooting Po-
licemen McDermott and Green during,
the disturbance last night, were ad-
judged guilty Of melting a riot. Moore
was given one year in jail and Shock
ley was fined $50.

MUST MOI SKYIrA
The Term "old Maid" Held to Be a
Misdemeanor in the Metropolis.

Magistrate Henry J. Furlong, in
the Gates-avenue police court, Brook
Ign, yesterday decided that it was a
misdemeanor to call a woman an "old
maid."..
Miss Mary L. Story had Mrs. Lizzie
Fitzpatrick summoned to court. They
have been living at 722 Gates avenue,
and trouble arose between them. Miss
Story complained that Mrs. Fftzpat'
rick had annoyed her.
Did you call her names?" asked
Magistrate Furlong Of Mrs. Fitzpat-
rick.
, Eyes, I did," was the reply. when
she annoyed me l told her she was an
old maid. I also told her she was jeal-
GUS because she didn't have a man, as
l have"
"You have admitted enough to
prove the plaintiffs case" said the
magistrate. "When one woman calls
another woman who happens to be
over 30 years Of age and unmarried
an old maid, the first woman is guilty
of disorderly conduct, which is a mis-.
demeanor. l shall therefore hold you
for the court of special sessions"
"This is only a trivial matter"
pleaded the defendants counsel.
"On the contrary it is a very seri'
Gus matter" returned the court.

Confined to His Room by
Castritis
SAYS HE WILL NOT RETIRE
Until Department has been Reorgan'
lied. Statement will be Made
Regarding Tu11och's Charges.

Washington, D. G., July Post
master General Payne was cinfned TO
his apartments at the Arlington yes
terday by a severe attack Of gastritis,
but according to his physicians his con-
dition Is not serious. Mr.. Payne,
whose health is impaired and who
has suffered from many attacks Of
acute indigestion, has not been well
for several days.
While he has been at the depart
ment every day except wednesday
morning and yesterday he has suffered
severely, and for the last three nights
has been troubled greatly by his stom-
ach affection. These attacks are be-
coming more frequent, and the i'm
mense amount of work and the conse-
quent worry occasioned by the inves-
tigation has not help him at all.
There have been many rumors Of
Mr.. Payne's intention to retire from
the cabinet on account Of his health,
but he will not do so IL it Is possible
for him to remain. The president has
no desire to lose the services Of his
postmaster general, but wishes him to
remain at the head of the department
to complete the investigation and to
reorganize it, and put it on a business
basis. According to Mr.. Payne's phys
icians he will be able to resume his
duties shortly.
Has Much to Do.
An enormous amount of work con-
fronts the postmaster general. 1t will
be weeks and probably months before
the investigation in the postal scan
dals will be completed. This is try.
ing as well as unpleasant work, and
after this disagreeable task has been
finished, Mr.. Payne will be compelled
to turn his attention to the complete
reorganization Of his department. Sew
eral of the chiefs Of the most i'm
portant bureaus Of the department
have been dismissed or have resigned
and these vacancies are filled tempo
arily.
Mr.. Payne will be called upon to eX
ercise the greatest care in selecting
men of high character for the heads
of these bureaus. New rules for the
conduct of business must be framed
and provision will be made to guart
the government against fraud in the
contracts made in the future. The
department is now working under al
Anticipated system and a modern one
will be devised.
All this work must be done under
the personal direction Of Mr.. Payne
and the tiresome details will require
his consideration for months. Mr.
Payne therefore has a year Of thu
hardest kind of work ahead of him
and many of his friends fear he will
break down under it.
