French Admiral fin London.

London, Aug. 10.-Vice Admiral Call lard. Commander in- Chief of the French fleet. and eighty of his officers arrived in London this afternoon. The visitors were guests of the Lord Mayor and Cor poration at luncheon. Forty open car- riages conveyed the officers. Every where the heartiest cheers greeted the visitors. At the Guildhall, which was reached about o'clock, the Lord May or and Aldermen in full state robes welcomed the guests. Eight hundred sat down to luncheon. The toasts were full of cordiality
 The passage of the procession across Trafalgar Square was marked by an in cident that met with hearty cheers from the spectators. As Admiral Caillard and the other chief French officers came abreast of the Nelson column they turned towards it and looking at the bas relief depicting the death of Great Britain's national hero on board the Victoria, raised their hands to the salute.

the road between the scene of the al- legged robbery and the camp. He says the men wanted to buy some chickens but that he would not wake up his wife to make the sale. He gave them watermelon, however. which accord ing to the evidence discovered later was eaten on the way to camp. By combining the testimony of MT. Aber- crombie's employe and that of Mir Kitchens. Colonel Bricken concludes that the soldiers could have been in Holmes store only two UT three min- utes at most. 1t would be absurd. he says, to think that the robbery could have been perpetrated in this time.
 Nothing could be found out by Col onel Bricken about negro named Milton Cobbs who was said by Bas- kins to have accompanied the sol- diers in the visit to the Holmes store. The belief was expressed that the sack of flour found near the store the next morning was put there by this negro if he was really in the com pany of the militiamen. If 1t was removed from the store by the sol diers, Colonel Briclsen concludes, that 1t must have been done for light mis- chief.
 Reference was made to the finan- cial standing Of Holmes at the time of the alleged robbery. He had a day or two before refused to pay a debt, according to one witness. because he said he did not have the money.

Taggart Divorce Case.

Wooster, O., Aug. 10.-At the opening of the Taggart divorce case hearing to- day objection was made by the defense to the introduction of the deposition of Dr. c. o. Bonefeld of Christ Hospital Cincinnati.
 Mrs. Taggart's attorney, kept in- formed by their client. were ready with the objection that Bonefield had been present in the court room during the taking of testimony, though the plaintiffs witnesses were supposed to be excluded. It seemed that the phy- sician out of curiosity had stopped over for day on his way to the lakes.
 As Mrs. Taggart was Bonefelds private patient in the hospital. It is said he is the only witness who can fully state the cause of her presence there, and the exclusion of his deposi ton. If effected. will eliminate an im- portant branch of Taggart's case,
 The point was left pending and the deposition of Dr. Schallenberger, hos pital physician. was read. It dealt with the hospitals methods of preserv- ing histories of cases. An exhaustive examination was then read covering many hypothetical questions and medi- cal generalities having no bearing on the case. Judge Eason finally sus- tained the objection of the defense.

VINDICATES SOLDIERS
COLONEL GRAVES REPORTS ON AN
 ALLEGED ROBBERY.
Military Omcers Tell Governor that In- vestigation Leads to Conclusion Men of Second Did Not
 Rob n Store.

Obeying the order of Governor Jelks to thoroughly investigate the charges of robbery and depredations made against soldiers of the 2nd regiment, Alabama National Guard. during their annual encampment. near Electric Park in July, Col F. H. Graves, com manding that unit, yesterday reported the findings of the investigation in a lengthy document. In brief. the conclu- sions of Lieutenant Colonel c. R. Bricken, to whom the matter was re- ferred by Colonel Graves, are a vindi- cation of the soldiers.
 The investigation was of an alleged robbery of the saloon and store of J. s. Holmes, a negro. In the outlying dis trict of Montgomery. on the Red Bridge Road, between the city and the site of the camp. He reported to the officers of the regiment and the police of Mont gomery that he had been overrun in his store by a squad of soldiers during the middle of the encampment week and robbed of cash, whiskey, cigars and a dice-cup.
 The first accounts of these alleged depredations created somewhat of a sensation In the city. From the begin ming the story of the saloon n-store kkeeper was discredited in camp by all yoficers and was given but little cre- dence among the citizens.
 ; COtOnel bTlCkeu, WHO, Witn a SpeClhi officer detailed by Chief of Police Ger aid. made q deep inquiry into the alle- gations of Holmes. ventures the opinion that the negro storekeeper hoped to extort money. from officers In camp by relating stories of his being robbed.
 Colonel Graves on receiving the writ ten report of Lieutenant-Colonel Brick en. did nothing more nor less than transmit the same to the Governor, whom f raachad vesterday
 Taking all the facts and circum- stances into consideration" says Colo mel Bricken, 'T am forced to the opinion that the robbery complained of has never been committed: that a subter- fuge Is being resorted to to extort mon- ey from the State. and that there Is no merit in the claim made to the Gov ernor.
