Wild Scene at Hotel.
A scene of greatest excitement fol-
lowed the receipt of the news in the
lobby of the Hotel Wentworth. The
official bulletin was telephoned from
the conference-room at the navy yard
by Mr.. Sato. and like an electric thrill
flooded through the room. There were
screams of joy. Men threw their hats
aloft, women actually wept. Every

Ovation to Russians.
Mr.. White, accompanied by Baron de

drew up, the air was torn with fran
tic cheers. Hats were thrown aloft.
Mr.. Witte. as he stepped out of the
motor car, seemed quite overcome. Too
full for ,utterance, he could only grasp
and shake the hands that we're extend
ed to him. Baron Rosen also was
equally moved, and received the con-
gratulations of the crowd in silence.
For about five minutes the two pleni-
potentiaries were kept upon the porch
listening to the incoherent praises of
the hotel guests.

TALLY recovered himself, he declared that
he'c could not have dreamed of such vic

The authorities have forbidden the
use Of Hyde Park, London, by motor
cars during the afternoons Of July.
The term motor-cars includes electric
broughams and carriages, which is
rather hard ON the large number Of
fashionable people who have replaced
their horse-drawn carriages by the
modern vehicle. The reason given for
this decision is that danger is caused
to the occupants of the numerous
horse-drawn carriages.
