BUSY DAY EOR LOUBET
In BRITISH CAPITAL
How the President Of the French Republic Was
Entertained in London.

London, July 7.-President Loubet
was early astir to-day and began an
extensive round of functions, calling at
the French hospital and visiting the
home for French governesses. Passing
through the accident ward of the hos
pital he stopped to condole with cor
poral of a detachment of guards form
ing his escort, who was injured by fall
ing from his horse outside the hospital.
The President returned to st. James
Palace about 10 o'clock. He was every
where greeted with great cordiality,
and cries of "Vive Loubet!" in response
to which he continually raised his hat.
A reception of a deputati6n from the
diplomatic corps filled up the rest of
his time until noon, shortly after which
the President, accompanied by Ambas-
sador Cambon and Foreign Minister
Delcasse. started in semi-state to visit
the city.
NJ Loubet returned to ST. James pal
ace at about $3.50 o'clock this after
noon and spent the rest of the after
noon in a round of visits to members
of the royal family.

EDNA WALLACE HOPPER
TRIES TO BREAK A WILL

Vancouver, B. c., July THE fight
of Edna Wallace Hopper, the, actress,
for a milliOn-dollar fortune was begun
here to-day when her suit to break the
will of the late Alexander Dunsmuir,
husband of Mrs. Hopper's mother and
brother of the former Premier of Brit
jsh Columbia, was called for trial. The
suit has developed into a bitter con-
test in which the main point to be de-
cided is the mental condition of Alex
ander Dunsmuir at the time he eXecut-
ed the vii.
The suit of the pretty actress is for
the purpose of setting aside the will on
the ground of the incompetency of
Dunsmuir at the time he signed it, and
on the further ground that undue in
huence was exercised by his brother,
James Dunsmuir. in securing his rela-
tve's signature. 1t is alleged by the
contestant that at least forty days be-
fore his death Alexander Dunsmuir was
rot in ri~ht frame of mind, as re-
suit of his excessive use of intoXicants,
and that while in this condition, which
was frequently attended with delirium,
James Dunsmuir induced his brother
to sign a will at San Francisco pre-
direction of James Dunsmuir.
On the following day, it is alleged,
Alexander Dunslnuir, still i'll and of
unsound mind, was started eastward
from San Francisco. He was sick the
entire trip. and when he reached Chi
cago it was found necessary to place
him under the control of physicians,
who then declared that the patient was
absolutely void of reason, could not
make connected sentences during his
conversation and. in fact, had every
symptom of a deranged mind.
The fair contestant has obtained the
testimony of some of the most eminent
physicians of the East and West, to es-
tablish as fact that Dunsmuir could
not possibly have been of sound mind
when he made his will, and to their
evidence will be added that of bar
tenders, bell boys and others who
served the millionaire with intoxicants.

republic. In reply M. Loubet said, 81
join in the wishes which you express
for cordial understanding between
the two peoples, each of which holds
a necessary place in the history of CIV
nization, feeling that their common in
terests should inspire them with a
spirit of Cancellation and accommoda-
ton, which will serve the cause of hui
manity. The presence at my side of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs of the re-
public is a pledge to you of the value
which the whole French government
attaches to the development of these
happy relations of friendship between
our two countries"
Foreign Minister Delcasse had a long
conference with Foreign Minister Lans-
downe to-day, and M. Delcasse also
lengthily conversed with the Russian
ambassador, Count Benckendorff, after
the latter had visited President Lou
bet.
France lavishly returned Great Brit
aims hospitality tonight by a dinner
given by President Loubet to King
Edward at the French embassy. The
scene around the embassy was most
animated. King Edward and President
Loubet both arrived there with mill
tary escorts and other distinguished
guests drove UP in handsome private
equipages. A great crowd of people
outside gave His Majesty an ovation.

The day has passed absolutely with
out a sensational feature or accident
of any kind. The most interesting fea-
ture of the day, perhaps, was the eX-
hibition drill by regulars from the
Sixteenth Infantry at Fort McPher-
son. This excellent company not only
has the reputation of being one of the
best drilled companies in the service,
hut it has recently taken part in the
state encamDment.
There was general regret in camp to-
day when Col. Estill announced that
he must return to Savannah. He said
he might come back before the end of

Everything is now looking forward
to the coming of Gov. Terrell and his
staff, and it will be the browning fea-
ture of the camp.

DELEHANTf BELIEVED
TO HAVE KILLED HIMSELF

The Famous Baseball Player
MCurned by His Friends.
Washington, July 7.-Word received
in Washington to-day leaves little
doubt that Ed. Delehanty. the famous
ball player, committed suicide or was
accidentally drowned at Fort Erie, Ont,
on the night of July 2.
He left Detroit that day in very
Respondent frame of mind after sew
eral days of dissipation. A letter re-
ceived by Mrs. Delehanty says that an
unknown man on the night in question,
had difficulty with bridge tender at
Fort Erie, and a moment or two later
fell or jumped into the river. A dress
suit case was recovered, and in this
was found baseball ticket No. 26, issued
by the Washington Club to Delehanty.
Manager Lotus and the players here
regard the proof received as conclusive
of Delehanty's death. The past winter
he spent in New Orleans, and is said
to have lost money heavily on the
races.

weeds and grass, and the entire camp
looks clean and neat. The tents that
were not provided with plank floors the
first night were fully equipped to-day,
