PRESIDENT AND EMPEROR
Exchange of Dispatches Between
President Loubet and Emperor
william On tho Auto Race.

Paris, June ia significant ex-
change of dispatches has occurred be-
tween Emperor William and President
Loubst, following NJ Thery's winning
the James Gordon Bennett information
al automobile race at Homburg, The
emperor's dispatches say:
Il hasten to felicitate you, Mr.. Pres
ident, on the victory French industry
has just won and of which have had
the pleasure of being witness. The
welcome which the public has given the
victor proves how success, gained
through intelligence and common pur-
pose serves to create sentiments free
from rivalry"
NJ. Loubet answered: 81 am particu
larly grateful for your majesty's amia-
BILE telegram and for the sentiments
which have inspired it. The success
of French industry could not be better
appreciated than by German industry,
which was so worthy Of obtaining sue
cess"
The exchange of dispatches created
a favorable impression, and promises
to alleviate some of the lingering Fran
co-Gerraan animosities.

With reference to the provision of

to Comptroller Dibrell, holding that
the provisions of this act upon this
point are mandatory and stating
that it is the imperative duty of the
trustees to comply with same. The
act of 1908, section 81, provides
that notice containing the names
of such delinquents, the district in
which the property is situated and
the number Of acres in each tract
shall be inserted once a week for
three weeks in some newspaper pub

RAISULI TO GET RANSOM.
Some Fear That He May Not Tote
Fair After Getting the Money
in Hts Hands.

Washington, June ia cablegram
received at the state department from
United States Consul Gummere at Tan
sier, in confirming the press report
that the sultan had agreed to all of
Raisulis terms, adds that tie money
ransom, $4,000, was to be paid over
Saturday. Mr.. Gummere expressed
grave doubt as to the advisability of
making this payment before Perdicaris
and Marley were actually released and
safely returned to Tangier. Based on
past experience, it is feared that
Raisuli is not to be depended on, and
that once he has the money in hand
and still controls the prisoners he will
make fresh demands. However, moth
ing more can be done at this stage,
according to Mr.. Gummere, and the
state department will await the con-
clusion of this last attempt to free the
prisoners.

HONOR FOR HORACE PORTER

Paris, June 19.-President Loubet has
conferred upon the American ambas-
sador, Horace Porter, the grand cross
OF the Legion of Honor, which is the
highest grade of that historic order. 1t
is an honor rarely bestowed, even on
chiefs of states and ambassadors, and
1t 10 the first time 1t has ever been Of
fered to representative of America
AS under provision of the constitu-
ton, the acceptance of any mark OF
distinction from foreign country,
even from republic, requires the ap-
proval of congress, final action in the
matter will await the authorization of
that body
Foreign Minister Delcasse called at

the breast, having an enameled gold
cross at the hip, with an elaborate sill
yer star to be worn on the right breast.
M. Delcasse accompanied the presenta-
ton by an earnest expression of the
high personal esteem which M. Loubet
and himself felt toward the American
representative.
The grand cross Is the highest of the
Ave grades of the Legion of Honor.
These consist, first, of chevalier; Sec
ond, officer; third, commander; fourth,
grand Office, and, fifth, grand cross. The
latter is the grade worn by M. Loubet,
and has been conferred only a few
times in recent years. That the Amer
lcan ambassador should have been
singled out for this notable honor is
considered to be a personal tribute to
him and another evidence Of the cor
dial sentiments of the French govern
ment toward America.

condition of growth and receiving

ing nicely, with good stands. Wheat
has continued to Improve and is
now ripening, with generally good
heads and grain; harvest has al

of Irish potatoes is producing well
and is being marketed. The clover
