the Dundee Financial Corporation, of
Scotland, Mrs. A. t. Beale, J. W. En-
dean, supervising Chief engineer and
general manager of the Smyrna, Kent
County aud Delaware Bay Traction
Company, and the Chauffeur. They

the state by way of Delaware City,
! Odessa, Smyrna, Dover and Milford.
Mr.. Endean when interviewed said
"Mr. Beale is capitalist representing
1000, 900 worth of British capital.
Associated with him in the Dundee
Financial Corporation are Lord Rath-
bone, Sir Charles Drummond and Sir
Rivers Wilson, the latter president of
the Grand Trunk Railway, of Canada.
Sir Charles Drummond has nephew
George H. Drummond, who is mana
ger of the Western Electric Construc'
tion Company. The weather was idea

l
with their automobile trip down th'
state. Mr.. Beale was shown the points
of interest over the proposed Diamond
State Trolley System and took note a
he went along. At st. Georges he in
, vestigated and learned something c

 MT. Roosevelt says the writer, mikes himself up in everything ? and he goes On to ask how the New York journalists who commented largely on the episode can imagine that President Roosevelt, who has so much to do has time to read.
 He adds this little demonstration is quie American. The naive admira- ton for the exuberant President and the dominant preoccnpation is purely material interests-there is the Amer ican mind revealed
 ''It may be that the characteristics of strong mind show themselves here, but 1t cannot be denied that that mind is also very primitive and vul- gar, and the Americans do all they can to make us thoroughly aware of the fact

Signor Ermete NoyelIi has asked permission of Nj. Clemenceau, the French statesman, to perform in Ital- ian his one little play s1e Voile de Bonheur," which was many years ago performed for short time on the Paris stage.
 This little play represents an old gentleman who is blind, but who is very happy in the kindly attentions and tender care of his wife and fam fly.
 Suddenly, however. he regains his sight, and then is deeply chagrined to find that instead of things being as he has imagined them to be he is simply the object Of organized hy- procricy for his wife is deceiving him and his children live the lives of cats and dogs. He prays for hs blindness (the veil of happiness) to return.
 The part which Noyelli wishes to take is that of a Chinaman in love, and as the actor feared that the rep resentation of Chinamen in a some what ludricrous light might offend the Japanese with whom the French have just concluded treaty, and to spare whose susceptibilities the Mika- do had just been prohibited in Eng land, Novelli asked that the China man might be changed to a Hindu. But this Nj. Clemenceau has refused.

BLACK CAP

MANSFIELD, Ariz.. June 22.-The n1ineralized vein, known as the 'BIack Cap" which recently yielded assays running as high as $3S2 to the ton in silver, copper and gold, is now proving to be a yeritable treasure vault. The heavy values in the pre-. yious assays have been in silver and copper. with only trace of gold
 Rapid sinking and tunneling work during the past few days has, how ever, yielded material assaying SAP to the ten in gold, $1930 in silver and s15.50 in copper At the same time the ore on the Black Cap dump was subjected to a test, which showed general average of SIS to the ton in gold with correspondingly high values in copper and silver.
 The significant feature of these in creased gold values in the Black Cap vein is that they occur in the shape of tellurides. indicating exceedingly high gold values at depth. The ma chinery for deep mining on this vein is already on the ground and some important developments are loked for in the immediate future

THE WHEAT MARKET.

Special wire to Duey & Overiock.) )
 CHICAGO. June 22.-It is known that considerable, long wheat has been sold out the past few days, and probably as much more has been sold short. anticipating interference with the trade from the strike of telegra- phers. Up to date the disturbance is confined to San Francisco. Even If the strike becomes quite general it can cut the volume of business, but we fail to see how 1t can make wheat worth any less money. Considering { Ethe'mcderate volume of trade and the possibility of trouble with the wire service the market acted strong at the close, and we believe natural in- fiuences wifi force higher prices in the near future.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The fact that

Commenting upon this fact the
New York Times today said:
THAT the money crisis no longer

general opinion that conditions will

FRIENDS I
RoiuSdl OF New York to En-
dorSe Hughes Means a Split
Delegation In Convention.
WANTS NOMINATION ON
FIRST BALLOT If POSSIBLE

Washington, Dec. 2S.-President
Roosevelt has told his friends that
the nomination of Secretary Taft IS
assured, according to those who
have recently visited Washington.
His confidence is based on the re-
fusal OF the New York county re-
publican committee to indorse Gov
ernor Hughes for president.
'"rhat man Parsons is a trump"
is what the president told every
New York republican who called TO
congratulate him on the result.
Mr.. Roosevelt is claiming the
delegates of fourteen western states,
those of the entire south and two
eastern states for Taft.
Ell admits that Indiana will prob
ably be for Vice-President Fair
banks. Illinois for Speaker Cannon
and Pennsylvania for Senator Knox
on the first ballot, but is sure they
will be in line by the second ballot.
Wants Taft Named on First Ballot.
The president is working now to
make the nomination of Secretary
Taft certain on the first ballot. He
wishes to accomplish this by mar
shalling sufficient strength to insure
his nomination on the first roll can.
Under the rules, delegates from
states voting for "fayorite sons
would change their votes toward the
conclusion of the rolls, thus making
Secretary Tafts nomination unani-
nous.
President Roosevelt believes thai
he will have the entire seventy
eight delegates from New York for
Secretary Taft. He is absolutely
certain, in the light of the reception
given to the Hughes resolution In
New York county that he will con-
troll more than one-half of the dele
cation, thereby crippling the Hughes
movement should II show itself In

the EmperOr's Policies
Lengthy Debates Are
Not In Order. %

Toxic, Dec. 2S.--The twenty
fourth diet was formally opened to-
day by the emperor, who delivered
speech from the throne.
He laid particular stress on the
cordial relations of Japan with all
foreign powers and he said that 1t
augured we'll for continued cordial
relations and peace in the far east.
Emperor Talks Peace.
The emperor concluded with
commentary upon the relations now
existing between France and Russia
as affecting Japan. He expressed
tho opinion that peace would prevail
in the far east and his tone through
out was most concilatory,
As the government has an over
whelming majority in the diet, 1t is
not probable that there will be an
extended debate on any of the ques-
tions of state that may come up.
viii Restrict CoOlie Labor.
The most vital matter which VIII
likely be considered is the matter of
restricting immigration of coolie la
Dor to the United States. 1t is gen.
-erally understood thar the leaders
almost without exception favor the
governments policy of restriction of
coolie labor.
