ENTERTAINS LARGE PARTY.
Several Prominent PersOnages Be-
come Guests of President
and Mrs. Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 14.-President
and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained a large
party at luncheon Monday at Sycamore
Hill. In addition to Secretary Root and
the house guests, the party included
Archbishop Farley, John D. Crimmins,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob A. Riis, James R.
Sheffield, Frederick w. Hollis, all of
New York, and Judge Brentano and
Civil Service Commissioner A. W.
Cooley.
It was announced that the visit of
Archbishop Farley was prompted by
desire to pay his respects to the presi-
dent, but as he was accompanied by Mr..
Crimmins, who is prominent in Catholic
church affairs, it is quite certain that
matters in which both the church and
the government are interested were dis
cussed. it's known, in fact, that Catholic
questions in the Philippines we're con-
sidered, the presence of Secretary Root
adding materially to full and free dis
cussion of the subject. The visit of
other members of the party was purely
social, although Commissioner Cooley
had one or two matters Of business to
bring to the presidents attention.

subway excavation at Lenox avenue

many tried to jump, but the motorman
put on the full POWER. He had not
gone two blocks before the car was
enveloped in flames. The conductor

the whole car load of passengers and
rang the bell. The car came to
stop right over the excavations for
the subway. The passengers piled off

Corn has everywhere made splendid
growth, and is much improved, though

for harvesting winter wheat, which
work is very largely completed, ex-

Victoria, B.. c., July 1e.-According
to adyices received by the steamer EN-
press of India Tuesday the crisis in the
far east is close to breaking point
and even the most conservative jour-
nails fear that war will result as the re-
suit OF Russian-C Chinese intrigues.
Many newspapers are urging an appeal
to arms.
The Picking correspondent of the
Mainichi says M. Lessar's reference to
Russian preparedness is taken to mean
that troops are now at Yallu and that
the force along the coast of the Yellow
sea is in sufficient strength. The Rus
sian minister to Picking also states that
he has received advices from Admiral
view of possible Japanese invasion
have been completed along the coast of
the Yellow sea and the Corean frontier.
The United States fleet Is still at Che
Foo and the Japanese squadron is cruis-
ing in northern waters. A dispatch
from Masompho, Corea. says the five
Russian battleships and seven torpedo
DOaCS are lylnS LQeTe.
The Osaka Mainichi correspondent
says that Russian officials at Picking
have been working to convince Prince
Ching and Chinese officials that Japan's
cordial reception to Russia's war min
lister, Gen. Kuropatkin, shows that a
Russo-Japanese entente is in making
and the Anglo-Japanese alliance is fall
ing.
Troops Sent to Thibet.
According to advices received by
Shanghai papers from Thibet great ex-
element prevails there because of ru-
mors that the British government is
sending forces from India into Thibet
on account of the failure of boundary
negotiations with India
Severe fighting has taken place at
Litang, Thibet, between the people and
priests. The abbot of the monastery had
def1ed Chinese interference, and fight
ing resulted in which the priests were
defeated and the abbot deposed.
Chinese Rebels Active.
Advices from South China report that
the rebels in Kwang ST are now strong
er than ever. The rebels have estab-
lished provisional government and COL
lect taxes and enlist and drill troops,
which are paid regularly. The rule of
the rebels holds through several dis
tricts and the natives are quite con-
tented. Strict discipline is enforced by
the rebel officers. Arms and ammuni-
ton, all modern, are continually being
brought from neighboring provinces.
The rebels, who are said to be gov
erned by the reform party, which has
branches in America, look upon the dis
trict where the provisional government
Is established as the headquarters Of a
great rebellion soon to commence, and

ties commence the mandarins will find
the rebellion ten times greater than the
