Louis EXPOSITION. ~
st. Louis, Aug. 16.--Acting under
instructions cabled from England John
r. O'Brien, laborer employed in the
wrecking of the worlds fair buildings,
has unearthed an alligator bag con-
tanning jewels valued at $4,000, which
was stolen from Mr.. and Mrs. P.
Henry Clayton of Devonshire, Eng,
during a visit to the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition two years ago. a
The jewels were stolen from a
trunk and they were not missed until
the Claytons had returned to England
after tour around the world. They
then had no means of knowing where
the jewels had been stolen. About a
month ago a Hindoo servant who had
been in their employ during their trip
was fatally injured by an elephant in
India and on his deathbed confessed
that he stole the jewels while in st.
Louis. e." 81: b,
He said that he became alarmed
and, fearing detection, had dropped
then. into a hole in the wall of the
Manufactures building Later he again
wished to secure the gems, but on re-
turning to the place where he had
secreted them could not reach the bot
tom of the space between the plaster
and the side of the building. Fearing
to make any inquiries or ask assist
ance the Hindoo departed from st.
Louis with the Claytons, leaving the
Jewels in their hiding place. %

se EDWARD IN GERMANY.
English Ruler Warmly Greeted BY
Kaiser Wilhelm. ;5S

Cronburg, Prussia, Aug. licking
Edward arrived here on special
train from Frankfort at S:45 a. m.
Emperor William and Prince and
Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse-
Nassau met him at the railroad sta
ton. The emperor assisted the king
In alighting and then they kissed each
other on both cheeks The meeting
was very cordial.
After introductions had been eg-
changed the royal party and their fol-
lowing proceeded to Friedrichshof in
automobiles, the emperor, King Ed
ward and Prince and Princess Fred
erick Charles occupying the first ma
chine. The streets were profuse1y
decorated with evergreens, flags and
streamers. The sovereigns were
heartily cheered by the crowds and
school children, who were lined up all
along the route. Many Englisnmen:
from surrounding watering places were
also present. #
After reaching Friedrichshof the
royal party breakfasted and then the
emperor and" king spent some time
together and later went sightseeing.
A programme of assiduous sightseeing
and drives has created the impression
among those surrounding their maies-
ties that they wish to avoid prolonged
political discussions.

Will DISCUSS POLITICS
Great Interest Shown in Conference Between King Edward
and Kaiser Meeting Of the Two SoVereigns
Marked by WaFmest Cordially

London, Aug 16.-The strictest
silence is maintained in official circles
as to the subjects to be discussed by
King Edward and Emperor William at
their meeting at Friedrichshof. Up to
the last moment it was not admitted
at the foreign Office that Sir Charles
Hardinge would accompany the king.
He had been away on holiday and
broke it to join the royal party on the
Continent. His presence adds sig
nlficance to the meeting, for as per-
manent under secretary of the foreign
office he is really the man who carries
on the foreign affairs of the country
and the fact that he is attending King
Edward leads to the belief here that
the discussion between their males
ties will be of the widest range, taking
IN all questions outstanding between
the two countries and those likely to
come up in the future. Germany at
present is more directly interested in
Persia than any other country and it
is believed here that her aim is to
secure port on the Persian gulf as
terminus for the Bagdad railway.
I Great Britain said an official
does not oppose the acquisition by
Germany of a commercial port on the
Persian gulf, but as has been stated
repeatedly by foreign ministers the
establishment of a military or naval
base on the gulf, such as Kiaochau in
China, would be considered a menace

AT 66.62 CENTS PER OUNCE.
Government Purchases Fifty Thousand
Ounces OF Silver.

ouHCSS OF StIVGF.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Pursuant to
the announcement of the secretary of
the treasury that he desired to receive
tenders of silver four bids were made
to Director Roberts of the mint. The
bids were opened and after being sub
mitted to Secretary Shaw it was an
nounced that the government had
purchased $4,000 ounces of silver, 999
fine, at 66.62 cents per ounce
1t is not the custom Of the treasury
to announce the name of the individ-
ual or corporation through which the
silver is obtained and hence no name
Of the successful bidder can be given.
1t is the expectation that the govern
ment will require from $4,000 to l0o,-
600 ounces of silver per week for an
indefinite length of time. 1t Is the
purpose, therefore, OF Secretary Shaw
and Director Roberts to receive bids
on Wednesday of each week hereafter
until further notice.

Pedestrians hearing the remark re-

wheeled his squadron and gave the
command to charge with drawn whips.
The troopers then charged the crowd,
laying about them right and left. Mile
