FIRE IN SOUTH ST. LOUIS.
Two Business Places and Half a Dozen Residences RurneG-sev-
 eraI Narrow Escapes.

St. Louis. July Fire swept over a large area at Oregon and Gravois avenues, Monday morning, entailing a loss of about $75, ,000.

OFFICIAL CIRCLES NERVOUS.
Count Cnssini's Diplomatic Methods Not Entirely Satisfactory
 to Russia.

London, July 7.-The St. Peters burg correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that official circles there are nervous over the situation in the far east and especially Count Cassini's diploma tic methods The Russian ann bassador at Washington is accused of making too much of the petition re- garding the Kishineff massacre and too little of the American policy in the far east. The Russian govern ment, continues the correspondent, would have looked with equanimity on the presentation of the Kishinetf petition, which binds nobody, if in re- turn an understanding could have been reached respecting Russia's claim in Manchuria. It is now feared that Russia will be obliged to forego Count Lamsdorf's plans concerning Manchuria and China, which depend ed on separating the United States from Japan and Great Britain.

IX ENGLISH WATERS.
Arrival and Reception of rresident
 LOUbet at DoVsr.

Dover, Eng, July 7.-The French cruiser Guichen, having President Loubet on board, was sighted at 12:4O p. m.
 Immense crowds of people lined the sea front, which presented gala ap- pearance, the decorations being on scale far in excess of anything pre- viously attempted. As soon as the Guichen was sighted, the Sheerness flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers steamed out to meet her, and escort ed the French cruiser through a dou- bIe line of British battleships and cruisers, extending 2h miles, and forming the most imposing naval dis play ever seen off Dover. All the yes sels were dressed from stem to stern, and their crews manned ship and mingled their cheers with the rcars of the guns firing salutes and the strains 0; the ''Marseillaise' from the naval bands.
 Each ship gave the president a sa- lute of 21 guns as the Guichen passed, and the band of each vessel in turn took up the "Marseillaise."
 The Guichen anchored off Dcver shortly after one o'clock, and ex- changed salutes with Dover castle.
 The admirals and captain of the British fleet immediately repaired on board the French cruiser, and paid official visits to President Loubet.
 It was 1:45 p. m. when President Loubet stepped ashore here and en- tered a reserved enclosure, brightly draped, at the head of the stairs lead ing from the landing stage, where handsome pavilion had been erected. Then the duke of Connaught, accom- panied by the French ambassador, NJ. Cambon, and number of officials ap- pointed to be in attendance on N. LOubet during his visit, extended to the president King Edwards welcome.
 The meeting between M. Loubet and the duke of Connaught was most cordial, the duke expressing the kings pleasure at the presidents arrival, sub sequently the mayor Of Dover pre- scented M. Loubet with an address of welcome, to which the president made response.
 NJ. Loubet left Dover for London at 2:30 p. m.
 The entire route to the railroad station was lined with troops, bands were stationed at intervals, and the strains of the "Marseillaise, followed the president throughout, each band taking up the tune as the cortege ap, preached.
 At the station another guard of honor was mounted. With little de- lay the presidential party entered the royal train and started for London. The whole railroad line from Dover to London was guarded by men standing within sight of each other.
Newport weekly independent., 1903-07-10
Long before the arrival

Long before the arrival of the presidential party an enormous crowd had occupied every point from which a sight of the visitor could be obtained. The station itself was handsomely adorned, special features being the plentiful use of the French national colors and of the monogram "R. F." (Republique Francaise) and an abundance of flowers in lines of red, white and blue.
 The extraordinary precautions taken by the police for the safety of the president and his hosts even ex- ceeded those adopted when Emperor William was here.
 King Edward wore a field marshal's uniform and the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor. The prince of Wales had an admirals uniform. They awaited the kings guest on the platform.
 The king stepped forward as the president alighted and repeatedly shook hands with him. King Edward then introduced the prince of Wales, the duke of Cambridge, the duke of Fife, Premier Balfour, Foreign Min ister Lansdowne, Field Marshal Lord Roberts and others, who were, all in full uniform or court dress.
 M. Loubet then presented the mem bers of his suite to the king, who warmly shook hands with them.
 After inspection of the guard of honor, the king and NJ. Loubet left the station and entered state car riage, in which the prince of Wales and the duke of Connaught were al2 so seated. The vehicle, escorted by detachment of Life Guards, was then driven through the crowded troop-lined and well-decorattd streets to St. James palace. NJ. Loubet was loudly cheered everywhere.
