HoNoRED BY KING EDWARD
The Longworth's Are Formally Pre-
sented at Court.

London-To-day'S court was made
notable by the presentation of Mr..

tiful jewels.
The American presentations in the
diplomatic circle, in addition to Mr..
and Mrs. Longworth, were Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick W. Whitridge and Miss
Whitridge of New York, John G. A.

were Mrs. Frederick Benedict of
Washington, D.. c.; Mrs. John Drexel
of Philadelphia, Miss Mathilde Town
send Of Washington, D. c., and Mrs.
Halle Bremond of Texas.
President Roosevelt's daughter ex-
cited general attention. She wore her

dressed. She was especially honored
by King Edward and Queen Alexandra
and the royal circle.
Mrs. Drexei and Mrs. Benedict also
were much observed. The former was
gowned in white, with blue silver
train. Mrs. Benedict was attired in a
white and green empire gown. A

CONGRESS ADJOURNED
The First Session Of the Fifty-ninth
Congress Ends on Saturday
Night, June 80

ngton-Promptly at 10 o'clock
June 80 Vice President Fairbanks in
the senate and Speaker Cannon in the
house declared the final adjournment
Of the first session of the fifty y-ninth
congress.
For the first time congress adjourn
ed on the day which closed the fiscal
year. Other sessions had adjourned
before and some after June 80, but
the fifty-ninth congress ended it's first
session on the day when the govern
ment strikes its balances and closes
it's books. There were some inter-
esting features to mark the end which
came when there was less than a
quorum in either house. Many SEN
ators and representatives, believing
that the adjournment would come
early in the day, made arrangements
to leave In the afternoon and did not
remain for the closing scenes. An
error in the enrolment Of the sundry
civil appropriation bill caused quite
furry about the capitol. 1t was
found by Secretary Root after 1t had
been signed by the president, an ap-
preparation of s3,OOO.OOO for a site for
building in Washington, a provision
which had been eliminated by con-
gress, appearing in the copy. After
some perplexity the error was cor
rected by joint resolution.
President Roosevelt came to the
capitol about 10 in anticipation of an
early adjournment, and when he found
that there would be delay to secure
the enrolment of the bills which had
to be passed, he took luncheon in the
capitol and in the afternoon visited
the congressional library.
Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out
his intention of keeping back the
adjournment resolution until the bills
were all passed and signed and the
hour for the end was not known until
short time before the gavels fell
with the announcement by Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks in the senate and the
speaker in the house that the first
session of the fifty-ninth congress
stood adjourned without day.
Both senate and house met early,
but a long recess was necessary in the
afternoon to enable the enrolling
clerks to catch up to the bills that had
been passed.
The closing in the senate was formal
and without interest.

TOURISTS meet DEATH
Twenty-Eight Americans Killed in a
Wreck on English Railway at
Salisbury, Near London

London-The American Line ex-
press, heavily laden with passengers,
mostly well-to-dO Americans, was
wrecked near Salisbury. The known
dead number twenty-eight, more than
a dozen persons are seriously injured
and a score narrowly escaped. Two
Chicogans are among the victims
one dead, the other perhaps mortally
hurt.
With the compartments of the
coaches filled with tourists from the
steamship New York, the train was
proceeding at a speed of mile a min
ute from Plymouth to London. The
train passed the Salisbury station
platform at :57 o'clock, drawn by a
heavy express engine in charge of
Engine Driver Robins, who had been
given a cleark track. The express
consisted of three first class Orridor
coaches and one combination guards
van ana DuHcC.

gins to curve toward the FishertOn
street bridge, the principal thorough

destroyed the guards van of milk
train which was slowly steaming in
the opposite direction. The guard in
the van was instantly killed.
Lurching forward the locomotive
plunged against the girders and stand
ards of the bridge, but the bridge
WithstoOd the impact and the rebound
ing engine crashed into another en-
gine, which was standing on a siding,
and was overturned. Throughout the
piunging Driver Robins remained in
his cab and hours later his charred
body was discovered grilled on his
fire box
Slain in Shattered Car
The first coach shot over the en-
gine and careened onward until it was
hurled against the parapet of the
bridge and smashed into fragments,
killing or manning almost every occu-
pant. One man was hurled through
a window high above the parapet and
fell to his death in the street below
Lurching forward and rolling toward
a stationary train, the second coach
practically destroyed itself. The third
coach went forward with the others,
left the rails, overturned and col
lapsed.
In the rear of the train was the
guards van and buffet. This was
saved from destruction owing to the
courageous action and quick work of
Guard Richardson. When the first
shock came Richardson sprang for
ward, set the brake and saved the
lives of himself and comrades. AL

HOW ARD ELLIOTT BACK;
HAS NOT RESIGNED

Upon his return to St. Paul from an
eastern trip, Howard Elliott made for
NAL denial of the report that he had
resigned as president of the Northern
Pacific railroad. He said he had just
returned from week S trip to Boston,
Cambridge and New York. At Cam.
bridge he attended the celebration of
the twenty-ffth anniversary of his class
at Harvard-the class Of ashland
then went to New York to attend a
meeting Of the board of directors of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
which was held last Friday. The first
notice he saw about his alleged resig-
nation as president Of the Northern
Pacific was in the Boston Herald of
Saturday morning, which was in the
form Of a telegram from st. Paul.
Neither the directors nor he knew any
thing about the report in New York
On Friday, and he said there was abso-
lutely no foundation for the rumor or
story.
The Northern Pacific is now doing
che argest business I its history, is
in better condition than ever before
and is spending very large sums of
business Of the northwest. At the
board meeting, the only matters dis.
cussed were some routine questions
and the general subject of adding to
the property of the company so as to
keep pace with the growth of the coun'
try.
