Federal Official Fired For Graft.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson this morning
formally dismissed Edwin F.. Holmes.
associate statistician, from the govern.
ment service on the ground that he
furnished advance information of the
government cotton reports for specu.
latives purposes.
a report by secret service men
shows that Holmes, on one occasion,
received $4,000 from a firm of brok.
ers, presumably for advance iuforma.
ton, although the action was
disguised as a payment for mining
stock, which it is alleged ia worthless.
There will be no prosecution, as there
is no statute to cover the case.
The secret service found that Holmes
had become immensely wealthy in q
few years. While receiving q small
government salary it Is alleged that
he is building Il large apartment,
house in Washington; that he owns

Americans Celebrate In London.

LONDON, July S.-The belated din.
ner OF the American society in cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, which
was held tonight, was the first occa-
sion of a public meeting between White.
law Reid and Foreign Minister Lans.
downe since Mr.. l;eid's appointment
as ambassador to Great Britain, and
both Lord Lansdowne and Mr.. Reid
vices Of the late Secretary of State Hay
to the world and the good relations
existing between Great Britain and
America were the keynote. The din.
ner was held in the banquet hall OF
the Hotel Cecil, which was crowded
with resident and visiting Americans
and representative Englishmen.
The chairman proposed a toast to
King Edward. He a followed by
Lord Lansdowne, who toasted Presi.
dent Roosevelt. Lord Lansdowne
said that among the great statesmen
OF America he does not know of any
one who held a greater fascination for
E%nglishmen than President Roosevelt.
Referring to the good relations be.
tween England and the United States
Lord L%ansdowne said that English.
men were satisfied that any differences
between the two countries would be
settled in a reasonable manner and
there was no reason why America and
England shOnld not march side by
side. President Roosevelt stood be.
fore the world as ar apostle of peace,
having recently rendered the greatest
services to civilization in bringing
together the two belligerents in the
far east and having proposed, when
the war is over, a conference to miti.
gate the consequences of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt he said, had the facul.
ty of securing men at great personal
sacrifices to held him in his good
work.

Russia Wants NJ utiuecrs.

ST. PETERSBURG, July lO.-Nego.
tiations between Russia and Roumania
on the question of the surrender of the
crew of the Kniaz Potemkine are in
progress. Russia is disposed to insist
or the surrender of the lei not az
political prisoners, to which Rou.
mania would not object, but as crimi.
nails, guilty of murder aud theft.
There were several hundred thousand
roubles OF board the %battleship which
the crew divided when they lef. the
ship. The Roumanian government is
somewhat embarrassed by the fac,
that it promised the mutiueers If they
surrendered they would be treated a.
deserters.

HAVE QUIT,
They Surrender Russian Warship and
Seek Protection of Foreign Country.

ST. PETERSBURG, July s.-The ad.
miralty late this afternoon was in.
formed of the surrender of the Knia7
Potemkine to the Roumaniau authori.
ties at Kuestenji, but the officials here
have no details of the arrangements
made between the Roumanian govern
ernment and the m~utineers. No diplo.
matte steps have been taken, but the
foreign Office undoubtedly will make
the strongest representations against
the m%utineers being treated as simple
deserters and will demand their sur
render to answer not only Tor mutiny
but also for the murder of their Off.
GERS, the bombardment of Odessa and
Indictment to a revolution.
The vainglorious proclamation is.
sued by the m%utineers at Odessa will
also weigh heavily against them.
Their crime is one which is considered
to be the most odious by all nations.
and it is thought % be imperative
that the strongest justice be meted GU,
to the ringleaders as an example to
the fleets of Russia and of the whole
world.
kCsTENDJI, Roumauia, July S.
The flag of St. Andrew onc again
floats over the battleship Kniaz Po-
temkine and the torpedo boat which
has proved so serious a menace to the
Black sea communities for a couple of
weeks past. The formal surrender of
the mutineers actually occurred at 10
o'clock this morning. after a series of
negotiations between the Roumanian
authorities and the leader of the mutt
neers.
The mutineers wanted to take off the
treasure which was on board the
kniaz Potemkine, but the authoritie.
declined to acquiesce. The Russians
will gradually be conveyed to any
frontier they may select and will then
be liberated, the local officials having
given an understanding to this effect.

On one occasion, when Dickens and
James Payn were swapping" stories.
relates James Macarthur in Harper's
Weekly, Payn told the following Gu
rious incident to the author of "Da-
vid Copperfeld:" Payn, it seems, was
returning to his home one summer
night through a fashionable street near
Piccadilly when a sudden thunderstorm
caused him to take refuge under por-
tico which commanded a view Of one
of the fashionable houses across the
street. AS he stood looking into the
lighted drawing room lady dressed in
a ball gown appeared at one of the
open bow windows, and at the same
moment a man who looked like beg
gar ran across the street and stood I'M
der the window The lady threw out
to him her bouquet. He caught it and,
nodding twice to the figure above him,
ran off at full speed.
Dickens was greatly interested in this
story, and the question is asked wheth-
er he ever made use of the incident in
any of his novels.
