DIsAPPEARANoE oB LOOMS.
Full Report from Ellis His Travelling
 Companion.


 Washington, July 7.-When Acting Secretary Loomis returned here from New York, where he had been to con- suit the officers of the Kaiser Wilhelm II. regarding the disappearance of his brother, F. Kent Loomis. on her east ward trip. he found on his desk at the state department the expected report on the same subject by W. H. Ellis, Kent Loomis' travelling companion. The report is Yoluminous, entering with great detail into every incident of the trip from New York to Plymouth. Act ing Secretary Loomis as yet has not had an opportunity to peruse the re- port carefully, but from hasty glance gained an idea of it's contents and has found that MT. Ellis is unable to throw any new light on the tragedy. His statements made to the American em- bassy at Paris and set out at length in the cable press dispatches appear to cover the ground.
 MT. Ellis reports that MT. Loomis had not been drinking to excess; that when he last saw him was on the ships deck about Il o'clock, and that there was nothing in his appearance to indicate that he was not in full control of him- self and in possession of all his facul- ties.
 Employees on the steamship who knew MT. Loomis best corroborate the state ments of MT. Ellis.

NEGROES IMPLICATED
 IN ASSAULT CAPTURED
FEELING AGAINST THEM IN NEW
 JERSEY INTENSIFIED.

Mrs. Riddle, Their Victim, Collapsed Early During the Day, but Was
 Slightly Improved Last Night-PrOm-
 fse of Speedy Trial and Punishment
 Somewhat AIIays Feeling of Violence
 but There is stiII Some Danger of
 Lynching.
 Philadelphia, July 7.-Through the good work of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania authorities, coupled with fortunate circumstances. all the negroes implicated in the shocking assault on Mrs. Charles Riddle at her home near Burlington, N. J., on Tuesday, are un- der arrest. Aaron Timbers, the leader Of the attacking party, and Jonas Sims, are in Lancaster county. Penn, jail, having been captured in Columbia ncar Lancaster; William Austin is in Moyamsing prison here and Thomas Jones is in the Burlington county jail at Mount Holly. The machinery of the law for the transfer of the three men in Pennsylvania jails to New Jersey has already been set in motion. For fear that tha citizens of Burlington county might take the law into their own hands, the authorities of that county have promised a speedy trial for the accused men.
 Public clamor for vengeance was in creased to-day when 1t became known that Mrs. Fiddle collapsed under the strain. She lapsed into semi-conscious- ness, coming to her senses only to go into series of spasms. The family physician was in attendance most of the day. At one time her condition was so serious that it was deemed best to send for all the relatives of the family. She is somewhat improved to- night.
 There is no denying the fact that there is still danger of trouble if Tim bers and his companions are soon talk SIl IO buTlHlB LOHs ILApfCSStulo R1lc heard on all sides that the farmers of tho county and citizens of Burlington should not wait for the slow moving law. The county authorities, however, are taking every precaution, and feel confident that they will be able to meet any overt act that might be attempt led. It is possible that the three pris- oners in this state will not be taken to New Jersey until feeling against the |men has calmed down,
 Tinnbers and Sims were arrested in Colubia early this morning. After con fessing to their part in the outrage they were taken to the county jail at Lancaster. Tinbers says there were only three in the party, Austin, Sims and himself. Sims disclaims all knowl- edge of any thing that transpired up7 stairs and says he never went beyond the first floor, where he had been placed on guard.
 Tirnbers, Sims and Austin are almost crazed from fear. They begged the of ficers not to take them to Burlington county, because they feel sure that they will be roughly handled Austin was given a hearing before a local magistrate to-day and committed to await the action of the New Jersey authorities.

Spain is feeling poor these days. 1t
was on the plea of poverty that the
government at Madrid declined TO give
assent to the Hay note, regarding the
neutrality of China. until it was
assured that it would not bind Spain to
incur expense. The feeling of poverty,
1t is also asserted. is responsible for
the utter neglect of the st. Louis EX-
position. rather than in feeling of
enmity against this country. Spain
has rcnounced all thought of building
a new navy to replace that sunk in 1895.

The Light Over There.

when Sorrow came thorny-
crowned an grey
When the black storms hid the heavens,
an the light along the way,
We heard him singing singing in valleys
of despair;
The bcllS-the bells are rinSinS.-the
light is over there.
The dcep-voiccd Dark walled round us,
and not a star unturled:
Like Il lost soul sent from heaven, back
to a homeless world
But still that misunderstanding sweet as
Il Lovc-thriled prayer
The bells-the bells are rinSinS.-thc
light is over there
And the weary world low-lst ming, took
heart and courage strong.
And blcSt him for that ray OF light that
glimm"rcd in his song.
And an echo to his singing came from

4 bill has been introduced in Con-
sress appropriating s3oOo,OOO for the
exposition, which it is proposed to hold
in jamestown, Va, i'll 1907. to celebrate
the 3cOth anniversary of the first Eng
lish speaking settlement in America.
1t is not the most propitious time for
such a measure, coming just upon the
heels of the additional aid which has
been given the st. Louis exposition, but
there is little doubt that the appropria-
tion asked for. or at least n part of it,
will be made sooner or later for this
Virginia project. Once started in the
exposition business. Uncle Sam finds it
exceedingly difficult to draw the line:
but certainly these great fairs are i'm
portant educational features. resulting
in many benefits to the communities
directly concerned and also to the
country at large.
