NEW YORK, July S.-With all the
stateliness that goes with 10000 tons
disbursement the Baltic, the greatest
Of ocean steamships, moved up the bay
early this morning and, aided by a
flotilla of putting tugs, ranged her tre-
mendous bulk against her North River
pier. 1t had been predicted that the
Baltic would reach port the day before,
but thick weather forced the steamship
TO run at reduced speed during the lat
ter part of her journey and eventually
compelled her 10 seek an overnight
anchorage outside the bar. This
brought her up the river at an hour
when few were about TO bid her well
come. and, save for the whistles of a
few ferry-boats and tugs, the arrival
Of this queen of transatlantic steam
ships was almost unmarked.
There were few at the pier to meet
the vessel Those who climbed the
gangplank to the main deck of the liner
were amazed at the long vista of deck
space and the great beam Of the
mighty vessel Entering the main
doorway one could see a maze OF COM
panionways leading to the decks be-
meath and to those above. Standing on
the main deck, four decks are under
foot, while four more rise overhead, the
top deck being eighty feet above the
water. One Of the most striking fea-
lures OF the big vessel is the great
dining saloon, an apartment extend
ing the full width of the ship and
having a seating capacity for 375 per-
sons.

VIENNA, July s.-Francis Joseph
and other devoted monarchists of this
encourage are disturbed by the ac-
tivity Of King Edward in practical in
ternational politics. They fear that
the King. who is drawing attention to
himself as the initiator of great poll

path of British constitutionalism and
is risking grave complications with
public opinion. They argue that If
the British people should be drawn
into an unfortunate treaty-with Ger
many, for example-they would hold
the King responsible, and the mon
archie system of England would suffer
severe strain. kilograms to the Vienna
press state that similar arguments are

MONTANA LADS
FIND TREASURE
Unearth Chest Containing
Real and Imitation Jewels
and a Mysterious Epistle
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ANACONDA, Mont, July S.-Two
BOYS. Phil Danley and Jimmie Spell
man of this city, unearthed a mystic
rious treasure chest to-day while dig
ging in a bank at the head of Maple
street and the find has aroused consid-
erable interest. The box uncovered by
the lads is about fourteen inches
square, is made of heavy stuff and is
bound with heavy iron bands. 1t was
found TO contain a small diamond pin,
two unset opals, several pieces of gold
quartz, pieces of copper ore, a brooch
set with small pearls, two unset imita-
ton diamonds and copper nuggets. In
the box was found letter written on
pieces of paper so badly decayed as to
be almost entirely illegible. A few
words written in a large hand were de-
ciphered, and they seemed to indicate
that the chest contained the secret of
greater treasures hidden perhaps in
some other place. The following is all
that could be made out Of the message:
"This chest contains key to chest
which is buried -. Dig - at dig

A key was found In the chest and
why the thing was buried is a complete
mystery. The chest had evidently been
