Royal Welcome to U. s. Squadron.

Portsmouth, Eng, July 1.-THE
American European squadron, consisting
of the flagship Kearsarge, the gunboat
Machias and the cruisers Chicago and
San Francisco, arrived in Portsmouth
harbor early this morning. They were
given royal welcome by the British
vessels. The latter formed double line
and, through the lane thus made, the
American squadron passed to the accom-
paniment of national salutes by each of
the British ships. Following a return
salute, by the American vessels, the
British ships fred salutes to Admiral
Colt g, and the American ships to Vice
Admiral Lord Beresford, in charge of
the British squadron. AT flood tide the
American ships moved inside the harbor
and came to anchor.

EXIT CAssINI. Count Cassini, the
Russian Ambassador, left Washington
yesterday. He will sail Immediately
for Europe, and It is considered certain
that he will never return. Relations be-
tween the Russian diplomat and the
President had almost reached the break
ing point because of Cassini's misrepre-
sentation of the Kisheneff affair. Dis
patches from Russia indicate that the gov
eminent there was far more concerned
in keeping the United States in n good
humor regarding Manchuria than in pre-
venting the transmission of a Jewish pc
tition. Under the management of Cassini
affairs have now reached point where
it is almost certain this government will
side with England and Japan in any ef-
fort to force Russia to evacuate Chinese
territory in accordance with existing
pledges unless some counteracting effort
is made to prevent. An effort, it is ex-
pected, will be made by Russia to show
that Cassini not only deceived the Pres
ident, but his own government as we'll.
In this way overtures looking to the
renewal ofamicable relations will be pos
sible and are likely to be followed by an
offer of trade concessions in Manchuria.
1t is thought that the open door for
American commerce may be established
throughout the territory occupied by
Russian trOODs.

faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.

The Presidents visitors.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 7.--Senators
Hanna of Ohi0, Kearns of Utah, and
Fairbanks of Indina, are under Presi-
dent RooseveIt's roof. 1t is understood
that all three will leave before night fall,
but during the few hours they are at
Sagemore Hill they may make consider
able political hay. 1t is the understand
ing that the three Senators are here sole
ly to attend the luncheon that Mrs.
Roosevelt will give this afternoon. The
politicians take this statement with a
grain of salt, believing that it would be
impossible for such managers to get TO-
gether without oiling up the wheels of
the machine. Secretary Hay arrived at
Oyster Bay on the 1920 p. m. train,
which also brought Senators Fairbanks
and Kearns.

SOME TRUSTS, it seems, are not In
healthy state of existence, notably the
steamship combine, which is in distress
from its unwieldy nature. Seventeen
large industrial corporations have had
troubles more or less serious within the
last year, and most of this number have
not been able to pay dividends; others
are endeavoring to extricate themselves
from the financial meshes. The Ameri-
can Mailing, American Ice, American
Grass Irvine, Consolidated Lake Su-
perior Dominion Iron and Steel, Stand
ard Rope and Irvine and United States
Rubber are said to be among the num-
Der which find their paths are not strewn
with roses. DISQUALIFICATION has pre-
vented dividends from being declared by
the Asphalt Company, International
Mercantile Marine and United Boxboard
and Paper Company. The American
Hide and Leather Company, American
Writing Paper Company and United
States Shipbuilding Company have from
insufficient working capital and high
not been able to give a
aNpd account of themselves. The failure
of the American Bicycle Company,
while it was heavily capitalized, was
primarily due to the 'possing" of the
bicycle as fad, while the Price-Sully
Brown cotton corner has played havoc
with the New England Cotton Yarn and
United States Duck Corporation, which
corporations both lacked an adequate
working capital. The II companies
have a total capitalization of S776, 1884,

Slight injuries often disable a man
and cause several days loss of time and
when blood poison develops, sometimes
result in the loss of hand or limb.

WAR misunderstanding to the
Tientsin correspondent of the London
Standard the opinion prevails in Russian
circles there that the outbreak of
hostilities in the far East is inevitable.
1t is reported that the Japanese are
mobilizing their forces. 1t is thought
at Tientsin that in the event of war
with Russia everything would favor the
japanese, who certainly are in better
state Of preparation. The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the London
Standard telegraphs that official circles
there are nervous over the situation in
the far East, especially Count Cassini's
diplomatic methods. The Russian
Ambassador at Washington is accused
of making too much of the petition re-
garding the Kishenef massacre and too
little of the American policy in the far
East The Russian government, con-
tinues the correspondent, would have
looked with equanimity on the presenta-
ton of the Kishenef petition, which
binds nobody, if in return an under
standing could have been reached re-
specting Russia's claims in Manchuria
1t is now feared that Russia will be
obliged to forego Count Lamsdorff's
plains concerning Manchuria and China,
which depended on separating the
the United States from Japan and Great
Britain.

BATTLE BETWEEN Two FAMILIES. -
There was a pitched battle between two
families, pistol duel between two men
and an accidental killing in Pulaski
county yesterday. A feud has existed
between the families of John Chenault
and James Moorehead for number Of
years. and the two factions have had
several severe clashes. Yesterdays af-
fair was participated in by six members
of each family, and the result of the
meeting was the fatal wounding Of James
Moorehead and the serious, if not NOR
tai, wounding of James Chenault, aged
&c. Both these men have fractured
skulls. Five others who took part in
the ARRAY were badly cut on their bodies
with knives. Avo ChenaIlt, the II
year-old-son of John Chenault, father of
James Chenault, who was seriously
wounded in the fight with the Moore
heads, accidentally shot himself with a
revolver yesterday. The ball went
through the lads heart, killing him in
stantly. In the town of Pulaski last

The PORES SUccEssoR.-A dispatch
from Rome, dated last night, says great
activity reigns among the cardinals, now
that it is sure conclave cannot be far
off. 1t is even said that there has been
an exchange Of kilograms in cipher be-
tween the members of the Sacred Col
lege, in Rome, and those in the provinces
or abroad. Innumerable rumors are cir
culating, and scarcely any cardinal is
deprived Of the fattery Of being consid-
cred candidate. However, besides
those mentioned in yesterdays dis
patches, the only other candidates who
are regarded as having fair change are
Cardinal Svampa, archbishop of Bo-
logna, and Cardinal Richelmy, arch
bishop of Turin. Cardinal Rampolla is
thought by many to have the best
chances of being elected According to
the most accredited Vatican gossip, how
ever, Cardinal Rampolla has entered
into an agreement with Cardinal Gotti,
project of the Congregation Of the Propa-
ganda, to support the election of the
latter on condition that he himself be
appointed Gotti's successor as project of
the propaganda, the holder of which post
is called the cred Pope"

LYNcHINa FRUSTRATED. An at

LYNcHING FRUSTRATED. An at
tempt to lynch three negroes at Asbury
Park, N. j., Yesterday, was only frus-
trated by the prompt action of the chief
of the Neptune township police. Wal
ter Gravatt, Andrew Kelley and William
Riley had been arrested, charged with
deliberately running over Miss Jennie
Covert, who was riding her wheel. The
men, with a woman, were driving in a
carriage, and, it is claimed, shouted
curses at the girl and drove on, leaving
her on the roadway. Parties in two
automobiles found the young woman
bleeding and unconscious, and while one
hurried with her to the hospital at Long
Branch the other chased the colOred trio.
The negroes were caught, and when the
citizens learned the particulars concern
ing the accident they determined to deal
summarily with the prisoners. Stages
and carriages were soon loaded with de-
termined men, and the run to the Jail
was made in quick time. Word was
sent Chief Gravatt of the mob's inten
ton, and he Immediately surrounded the
Jail with his forces. Then the prisoners
we're quickly arraigned and held without
bail to await the result of Miss COyert's
injuries. They we're handcuffed to-
getber and driven to the county Jail, at
Freehold, while the crowd clamored
about the court. When the mob learned
that they had been outwitted some
wanted to pursue the police and pris-
oners, but the officials had got good
start and the throng gradually dispersed.
The young woman victim is still in the
hospital, and it is thought she may not
survive her injuries.

THE periodical talk about pure food
bills to be acted on by Congress is
again in vogue. 1t is hoped by all that
it will crystalize into a movement which
will bring about a more satisfactory order
of things and that laws similar to those
in other counties will be enacted where
by consumers will receive what they pay
for. With trusts, tariffs and adulterated
food the inhabitants of this country have
much with which to contend. At present
there are but few staple articles of food
that are not adulterated, and many be-
lieve that many ills from which we
suffer are superinduced by foreign in
gradients which appear in most articles
of consumption.

STRANGE SHOOTING CASE.

The shooting of |. Sebert Cease at his
home on Chestnut Hill in Richmond on
Sunday proves to be very different case
from that first reported The bullet was
probably fired at close range, with muir
derous intent. The shooting was the
climax of domestic tragedy, and the
fact that Mr. Cease was shot was dis
covered by Constable Eubank, who went
to the house to serve warrant sworn
out by Mrs. Cease, charging her hus-
band with violence and threats. Cease
was under the influence of liquor and
was very violent. In the morning be
had swept the breakfast table of all its
contents, and, rolling everything up in
the tablecloth, hurled them out Of the
window. He continued to drink until
his wife begged him to stop, because she
had invited friends to dinner.
Cease entered the kitchen and over
turned the, oil stove, setting fire to the
kitchen, and proceeded to break up the
furniture and everything breaksble that
he could seize. He threatened to kill
those who were in the house, and they
all fled in dismay, after locking him in a
room.
Cease was trying to get out of the win
dow to pursue his terrified relations
when he was shot from the outside. He
was standing on chair at the time, and
the bullets tore their way through the
blinds, one striking the door on the OPP
posite side of the room, the other lodging
in Ceases body.
1t was after this that Mrs. Cease swore
out the warrant for her husbands ar
rest. So far no one has been charged
with the shooting.
