Upton ENDORSED;
KICKED IN FACE
Before the King, Sir Thomas Is
Thrown and Injured by
Horse.

Edinburgh, Scotland, Sept. 18.-The
greatest muster of Scotchmen under
arms since the battle of Flodden Field,
was reviewed by King Edward here
today. The king arrived at the Scot
fish capitol this morning and pro-
ceeded to Holyrood palace, whence, at
tended by the Duke of Connaught and
a brilliant staff, he rode to the parade
grounds in Kings park, where nearly
100000 Scottish volunteers marched
past his majesty.
Enormous numbers Of visitors from
all parts of Scotland and the north Of
England witnessed the review, which
is expected to assist in counteracting
the extreme irritation felt in volun-
teer circles over recent worrying regu-
lations of the war office.
During the march past, Sir Thomas
Upton, who is honorary colonel of the
Second Lanarkshire Engineers, was
leading his regiment past the king
when his horse threw him and Sir
Thomas was kicked in the face. His
injuries are not serious.
Sir Thomas injuries consist of a cut
mouth and bruised shoulder and arm
He was unseated owing to a sudden
swerve Of his horse, altho he is a good
rider. The king sent an equerry to Sir
Thomas hotel to inquire about his con
dition.

With 1,399,4OO bushels of grain in
the railroad yards this morning, and q
business around the cash tables that
approximated $S30,468, this was the
first really big day of the new crop
season at the Chamber of Commerce.
It was million bushel day, and well
over. It doomed up to figures that,
large as they were, would have run
much heavier were the railroads able
to get enough cars to handle all grain
tonnage offered The movement of
wheat was not so heavy as expected, the
TIC cars in running only IA cars in
excess of the corresponding day last
year, when 702 cars were received, but
today no less than $40 cars of coarse
grains came in, containing corn, oats,
barley, rye, or flax. The grain moved
in from every quarter, all the roads
carrying heavy trainloads.
Must Work Nights.
Great activity was on in the cash
grain market. Runs Of the size of to-
days may be expected every Monday
for some time from now on, and clerks
and bookkeepers in the offices Of the
big grain firms can see night work in
prospect until the movement has spent
it's greatest force.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-.President
Roosevelt's success in terminating the
war between Russia and Japan, besides
winning for him the praise of the civ
ilized world, has aroused apprehension
among European diplomats here that
the United States will interfere with
questions with which it has no con-
Germ.
Because of his fear that European
complications might endanger the pre-
liminary peace negotiations between
Russia and Japan, the president brought
pressure to bear upon Germany anu
France last summer to induce them TO
arrange an amicable settlement OF their
go far, combining himself to talking
earnestly to Baron Won Sternberg, the
German ambassador, and NJ. Jesserand,
the French ambassador.
Powers Grow Fearful.
The action of the president on the
Manchurian and Moroccan questions
has caused European powers to believe
the United States has departed from
fairs of the old world which was fixed
by Washington in his address.
The political situation in Europe is
in such chaos at the present time that
the United States forms an effective
balance of power: if it could be induced
to take part in European matters.
Germany would like nothing better
than an understanding Of some kind
with us, but failing in this, is content
to prevent an arrangement between
America and England.
The English government, on the other
hand, has been cultivating the United
States for some years, especially dur
ing the last four years, when its rela-
tions with Germany have been in such
state.

New York Sun Special Service.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-The removal
Of mans beating heart and it's re-

tracted from the region adjacent to
the organ, is the achievement in medi-

Germantown hospital. The operation
bids fair to be successful.
The patient is Frank Robinson, 80
years old, of Germantown. He is pow

pounds. He was shot by policeman
who was trying to arrest him. The bull
let entered Robinson's chest. Physi-

heart to view. No evidence of bull

moved the organ partly from the body.
The bullet was found imbedded in
the flesh within fraction of an inch
of the heart, upon which it had caused
pressure. The heart was then replaced

The first long-distance electric line
out of Minneapolis promises to be built
northward to Duluth, bringing that city

steam lines already. binding the two.
This was one of the startling an

He expects that within year cleo

tween Minneapolis and the zenith city.
Mr.. Cokefair said that in the next
two years Duluth would be nearer s Min Mn.
the cost of transportation would be
much less than now between the cities.
This, he said, will be either by an in-
terurban route, connecting the street
railway systems of the cities, or by the
electrifcation of one Of the steam roads.

Street, Four Months Ago Head Of
Big Company, Now Wants
to Run a Car.
New York Sun Special Service.

New. York, Sept: 1S.-James Street,
who, four months ago, was president
of the Street Steamship company, and
backed by the Morgan interests in big
shipping schemes, is today an appli-
cant for the position Of motorman with
the New York City Railway company.
Applying for work first under an as
sumed name, Street finally avowed his
identity, admitted that his financial
straits were desperate, vowed that he
had effected complete reconciliation
with his wronged wife and had parted
forever from her rival.
Nevertheless, Street will not get a
job with the street railway company,
its officers say, because of the discov-
cry that Street has not given up the
woman for whom he left his wife.
1t was in June last that it became
known that Mr.. Street, carried away
by infatuation for pretty typewriter,
young enough to be his daughter, had
abandoned his wife and six children,
and wrecked his own business career.
The abandoned wife is a niece of

didate for vice president in the last
campaign. Her rival was Edna Miller,

corporation funds were being used in
aid of the republican campaign, says:
believe I ought to say, now that there
is no political excitement to distract the

last year. What has been proved In the
case of the New York Life undoubtedly
will be proved in the other cases: 'Ihe

sweden's "Irreducible Minimum
Sweden's "irreducible minimum, to
use the Portsmouth phrase, has been the
demolition of the forts and the con-
frmation Of the ancient rights pos
sessed by the Swedish Lapps to pas
ture the cattle in the mountains Of
northern Norway in the summer. There
will be no trouble about the latter
point, so important to the poor Lapps
and so unimportant to Norway. An
agreement on the forts will remove the
last obstacle to a peaceful solution and
an arbitration treaty.
Republic or Monarchy?
The burning question, after the Karl

the form Of government to be adopted

monarchy. If he really said this, his
opinion differs from that Of most Of the

The probabilities are that in the
near future the negotiations can be
brought to a definite result.

This approximations declaration Is
one that might have been made at any
time without fear of contradiction. But
the fact that the conference decided to
make the statement formally is rightly
taken as significant of an early agree
ment. It is surmised that Norway has
consented to the demolition of all her
frontier forts except the historic ones
at Kongsvinger and Fredriksten and
that Sweden has consented that these
forts, with their moderh improve
ments, shall stand. This is a faiz COM
promise and the only fear seems to be
that the storthing may not accept 1t.
T do not believe this fear well founded.
No doubt is entertained that the riks-
dag will approve. It is asserted, how
ever, in Swedish circles that Sweden
will be forced to build counter forts
outside the neutral zone opposite
Kongsving9 and Fredriksten.
How Agreement Was Reached.
A London cable from Karlstad say
ing that Sweden had agreed to "meet
the wishes of the Norwegian commits
sioners for the simultaneous treatment
Of the questions at issue by offering to
allow the stipulation regarding an arbi,
tration treaty to form part of an agree
ment for the demolition Of the forts
and to come into force at the same
time,' gives the probable key to the
manner in which an agreement was
| reached. This concession on Sweden Is
