LOUBET GREETED IN ROME
 WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Hundred Thousand People Line the Streets and Witness the Gorgeous Procession to the QuirnaI, Where King and
 Queen Welcome the President of France.

Rome, April 4.-President Loubet, ac- companted by Foreign Minister Deleasse and party, arrived today to repay the visit of King Victor Emmanuel to Paris in October last. They were met at the station by the court dignitaries. At the station also were the members of the Italian cabinet and all the high officers of state.
 As the president stepped from the train the Prince Colonna welcomed him on be- half of the city. The king and president embraced each other, while the Marsel- laise was played by several bands.
 The drive to the Quirinal was then taken up and 1t had all appearance of a triumphal march. eliminating In an ova- ton at the palace, where President Lou bet, King Victor, Queen Helena and the princes were obliged to appear on the bal cony. Ambassador Tower, and former Ambassador Andrew White witnessed the passage of the procession from the gar den of the American church in which a tribune had been erected. In this tri- bune were also many members of the diplomatic corps and several Americans. Along the route were massed more than 50000o persons, including many from the provinces and abroad.
 Immediately after she had received
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-04-25

President Loubet the queen sent tele- gram to Madame Loubet saying the re- joicing today "only lacked the presence of her whose amiability l had many proofs while In Paris"
 A great torchlight procession in which 15,000 persons took part, produced fan- tastic effect. The procession crossed to the Quirinal, where 1t made an imposing demonstration and was witnessed by loo- 900 persons. President Loubet, the Kng and queen and princess saw the torchlight procession from the balcony of the Quiri- nal, on which they remained for twenty minutes, being constantly acclaimed. The clericals desired to organize a demonstra- ton of protest against the visit of Pres ident Loubet. Their purpose being first to meet at St. Peters for prayer at the moment of the presidents arrival, but this plan was not carried out, 1t being learned that the pope disapproved of such a demonstration.
 From an official source 1t Is learned that Italy desires to prove that while ad herring to the triple alliance, she is quite free to entertain friendly relations with other powers, having for her object the maintenance of peace This was brought about by the lo-Freneh-Italia ac- cord with regard to affairs in the Bal kans Any other interpretation which may be given to President Loubets pres ence in Italy Is unfounded.

LAPS WILL NOT ATTEMPT
 TO INVADE MANCHURIA

St. Petersburg, April A.-Apparently reliable information to the general staff leads to the belief that the objective of the Japanese campaign does not involve the ambitious invasion of the interior of Manchuria with the purpose of reaching the Russian army. If the Japanese ever entertained the hope of accomplishing a task similar to that which Napoleon set himself, present advices indicate that they have abandoned 1t and have adopt ed a much more cautious and less hazard ous programme.
 If this is correct there would be no advance of the army toward Mukden with it's attendant lengthening and weak ening of the Japanese line of communi- cations. Instead there seems to be a de- termination to stick as close as possible to the sea, where lies Japans natural base, she having established herself in Korea. The general staff say the Jap anese still have three objects-the estab-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-04-25

lishment of a line across the Liao Tung peninsula for the purpose of cutting off Port Arthur, the isolation of Vladivostock and the establishment of a Junction be- tween the army of Korea and the force at the head of the Liao Tung peninsula.
 The last mentioned movement might be accomplished by landing near the mouth of Ia Yang river, which by threatening the flank of the Russian position at Geng Hu might render 1t untenabe and make the advance of a column from Korea comparatively easy. If these plans should succeed the life of both Russian squad rons would be menaced and with the sea and a fleet back of her, Japan could fortify the positions thus gained and with the tables turned compel General Kuropatkin to come forward and attack.
 General Kuropatkin, however, is in pos session of the latest advices received by the general staff, and 1t Is safe to sume that if the Japanese campaigns de- velop along the lines indicated he will be ready to make such disposition of his forces as will meet the requirements.

WHISKY BOTTLE
 SAVED HIS LIFE
NEGRO DUEL IN CHURCH CAUSES WORSHIPPERS TO QUICKLY DISPERSE-oNE OF THE COM BATANTS KILLED.

Knoxville, Tenn, April 24.-A pistol duel caused a congregation of negro worship pers to quickly dlsperse today near Beans Station, Tenn. George Whitesides and Arizona Coins had trouble over a woman and both pulled pistols and be- gan firing. Coins fell dead with bull let through his heart and brother, Jim Coins. was mortally wounded.
 Whitesides was shot through one arm while another bullet which would other wise have killed him, smashed a whisky flask which he had in an Inside coat pocket. The shooting nearly caused q riot and Whitesdes had no trouble in esca ping to the woods.
