WOMEN ENTERTAIN
 FOR LONG WORTHS
BANQUET HALL IS FILLED WITH AMERICAN WOMEN AND PROMl- NEWT GUESTS, INCLUDING SEv- ERAL ENGLISH NoTABLES.

London, June 29.-The Society of Amer ican Women gave a luncheon to Ambas- sador Reid and Mrs. Reid and Mir. and Mrs. Longworth at the Hotel Cecil today. The large banquet hall of the hotel was filled with the American women and their guests, who included besides the Reds and Longworths, Lord Roberts, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, and Lord curzon of Kedleston, the former viceroy of India
 Mrs. Webster Glyne who presided in proposing the health Of MT. and Mrs Reid, said the welcome was arranged last year, but unfortunately was deferred on account of the death of Secretary Hay The ambassadorship of the United States to Great Britain had been referred to by the British as not being a foreign but a British institution, but they knew that MT. Reid was still an American citizen.
 MT. Reid thanked the ladies and ex- cused himself for not making a speech.
 The Duke of Marlborough in proposing the health of MT and Mrs. Longworth, spoke of the interest England took in the pOltlcal ulleFdnceS or IItSlueHl ItOOSe- welt. and in his great political career, saying that the Presidents high aims, courage and manliness commanded the admiration, good will and enthusiasm of the British.
 Recognizing the Presidents great quail ities the British had gladly welcomed his daughter. and now that they had met her. they regretted her early de- parture.
 MT. Longworth replied thanking the American ladies for their courtesy. and expressing the pleasure experienced by himself and his wife at the kindnesses they had met with on every hand.
 Lord Curzon, speaking for the guests, said 1t had been a great pleasure for them to meet the daughter of the greatest statesman of the day. not only because she was the daughter of the President, but because of herself President Roose- welt he added, was making an endur- ing mark on the history of his time, but above all the British had to thank him for cementing the good relations ex- isting between the two peoples.

.-Bradstreets tomor-

New York, June 29.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 A week of comparative quiet in whole sale trade. but of improved retail dis tribution, favored by warmer weather, closes a half year period the like of which for activity and volume of business done has probably never before been equaled. Bank clearings, foreign trade re- turns, railway earnings, statistics of iron production, railway building, and all available measures of trade and industrial voiunle go to confirm this view despite nunorous disturbing elements, such as congressional debates on rate bills, dls- furhcd money market conditions, insur- anee legislation, the San Francisco fire. and the coal strikes which tended perhaps to modify what might otherwise have been super abundant activity. Looking to the future the prospects certainly suffer lit tie by comparison with the garnered re- suits of the past six months. The crop situation as a whole is good and will com pare fayorably with any similar period in the country's history.
 Easing their operations upon these un- derlying conditions, dealers have bought liberally in anticipation.
 Sales for next fall. winter or spring as the case may be, are of full, and in many lines record, volume Prices show re- markable strength considering the in- creased productive elements brought into play.
 Money is fairly easy though differences of opinion exist as to whether the large needs of next season can be met without pinch in rates.
 Fall orders in very many lines are heavy being in excess of the corresponds ing periods a year ago. and the outlook favors a burst of buying after the July holidays.
 Industry is active the iron ard steel lines particularly so. Many plants will De forced to close for repairs the coming week. yet the shut-downs will be shorter than usual. Railway earnings are heavy. The labor situation continues to improve. Building maintains a remarkably active pace.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 2S number l46 against 172 last week. and 1S6 in the like week of feoS.
 In Canada failures for the week mum Der 22 as against 19 last week. and 33 Tn the same week a year ago.

DETAILS OF MUTINY
 ARE HARD TO OBTAIN
One Newspaper Reports Outbreak of Mutinous Spirit Among the Grena
 diers of the Guard.

St. Petersburg, June 29.-Details of the reported mutiny of troops at the fortress of Osowiec, one of the great fortresses defending the Polish frontier against Ger man invasion, are not yet obtainable either at the headquarters of the general staff here or from the adjacent town with it's civilian population, where inquiries were telegraphed.
 1t Is impossible to get direct information from the fortress itself. The Bourse Ga- zette today reports an outbreak of mutin- ous spirit among the grenadiers of the guard.
 The Nasha Shisn (Our Time) was again confiscated today. This is the liberal news paper whose writers in January, 19O5 were incarcerated in the fortress of St Peter and St. Paul, and which were confiscated in October of the same year, and again in April last for expressing it's view on the Russian loan.

the negroes yielded to terror and
sought nothing but to escape from
their pursuers. Scores of them have
fed from the city and hundreds Of
others have been hidden by the police
or given shelter within the walls of
the police station and jail
Where the first outbreak took place
Is not known, but the rioting seemed
to break out almost simultaneously In
several sections of the city which are
freQuented by negroes. There was no
leadership noticeable among the mobs.
Frantic men. with faces alternately
flushing and paling in the intensity Of
their passion, set upon the blacks
wherever they could be found
Few Of the mob appeared to be
armed in the early stages of the out
break but the men seized upon stones,
sticks and brickbats and these they
either hurled at the negroes or used
to beat them mercilessly whenever
they could be got within reach.
Men and women were treated alike
by the maddened whites. They were
dragged into the streets and beaten;
kicks were showered upon them, re-
gardless OF age or sex, and bricks and
stones hurled by arms made stronger
by hate struck them on the head or
body and even broke limbs, while the
shouts and cries Of the pursuers
drowned out all sounds of pain.

tenn OF efficiency as applied to govern
ment work BY II he hopes to be able
at any time to give an exact state

mates have been based on theoretical
lines, but he now proposes TO make 1t
a matter OF exact knowledge. He de-
clares that the new system will not
impose any extra work on the print

In the Office, but on the contrary will
secure to them proper credit for the

being more or less radical over the
old system Mr.. Stiilings said that he
fully expected to meet with much crit
icism. although he said his action was
Q distinct advance In the conduct OF
the Office.
It is expected that this order Will

MORE HOPEFUL FEELING.

washington, Sept. 25.-Oficial news
with regard to the situation in Cuba
ia lacking in Washington. The pacific
tone of the dispatches from Havana
had a favorable effect upon the mill
tary and naval officials and there was
a marked change in their attitude
from Saturday, when 1t was thought
that Intervention was near at hand.
The prospect of an amicable ADJUST
ment of the issues between the Palma
Coyernm ent and the insurgents, how
ever, does not prevent the ofhcials
here from continuing the preparations
which they have been making to land
forces in Cuba if necessary. The naval
colliers Leonidas, at Lamberts Point.
and the Hannibal, at Newport News.
will sail in day or two for Havana
loaded with coal for the American ma
val vessels now in that harbor and
with the dispatch of the colliers It Is
said the naval officials feel that all
that can be done by the navy at this
stage in preparing for eventualities
will have been accomplished.

atlanta Editor Tells Reason for Race
Riot There.

Riot There.
Chicago, Sept. 25.-The Inter Ocean
publishes the following dispatch from
John Temple Graves, editor of the
Georgian, at Atlanta, Ca:
The Atlanta race riot is due to the
cumulative provocation of a series OF
assaults by negroes upon white wom-
en-, which In number and atrocity and
unspeakable audacity are not paral-
leled In the history OF crime OF South
ern negroes. There has been eleven
assaults or attempted assaults within
the past seven weeks. OF these fiends
only four have been apprehended and
seven have escaped and are now at
elarge In the community.
Eight Of these assaults have been
IN broad daylight and In most in
stances In the open air within
stones throw Of other residences. One
assault was attempted at 8 o'clock In
the evening in the brilliantly lighted
parlors of city residence. Three have
been attempted almost within twenty
feet of the man Of the house. the Grim
inals escaping before the household
men could reach them. The entire
eleven efforts. five successful and six
unsuccessful. have been made right In
the city and suburbs OF Atlanta, the
capital of the New South, the center
OF trade, tradition and politics, the
heart OF our civilization. with white
population nearly twice as large as
that of the negro.
It has been a reign of terror for our
Georgia women. There Is not white
woman In the region OF Atlanta who
has had a tranquil day or night within
this period. The white women have
been trembling prisoners In theR
homes, and their husbands. sons and
brothers have been held In the neces
atty OF guarding them increasingly.

Havana, Sept. 25.-The first meet
the insurgents committee was again
postponed on account Of the illness OF
Pelayo Garcia. one of the conspiracy
prisoners, who had been added to the
committee Much depends on the at
titude Of the committee at the first
conference.
Heavy rains are prevailing and the
insurgents are inclined to seek the
benefit of the armistice during the
continuance Of the peace negotiations.
Heretofore there was merely verbal
agreement without any definite terms,
but document was prepared and TAX

and Castillo and these chiefs attached
their signatures to 1t. The document
was then signed by Acting Secretary
of the Interior Montelyo on behalf OF

Ridiculous as it seems there are per-
ststent rumors that the insurgents IN

there is much INSTRUMENTATION, ana
mutterings against the leaders are
heard because they have undertaken
to make peace with the government
through the Americans. The men IN
the field believe that they had the
government beaten and that the Amer
leans are now trying to steal their
glory. This condition Of affairs Is IN
some quarters regarded as menacing

which may be made. The insurgents
are talking freely and threaten II hos
