LONDON. Aug. 12.-The visits paid
by King Edward to Emperor William
at Cronberg and to Emperor Francis
Joseph at Ischl, while not likely to
lead to any formal diplomatic transac-
tions, are considered highly important
in official circles as affecting the rela-
tions of Great Britain, Germany and
Austria Hungary
There have been many reports con-
cerning the conversations of the mon
archs and the representatives OF the
foreign offices of the three countries.
but officials in London today said that
most of these statements could be dis
missed as without particular value.
There is no doubt" said British
official today, that Turkey has been
one of the subjects under discussion.
This would assuredly be the fact in a
gathering of any persons interested in
international politics, but there is
nothing to settle between the powers
on this question, as all are agreed that
there is but one thing to do. namely,
not to press any reform measures until
the new regime has been given a fair
trial. 1t may be that other subjects
arose for consideration, but IL so We

large buck bounded out from the under
brush and attempted to cross in front
of the speeding electric train. The deer
had all but reached the tracks before
King saw it. He attempted to slow
down and allow the animal TO make its
escape, but before he could do so the
fender of the first car struck it. The
deer was instantly killed.

who is also an engineer on the road
scared up a covey of quail. Fright
ened by the noise of the moving train
the birds flew directly toward the glass
windows of the leading car. Garcia saw
them heading his way and involuntarily
ducked. The covey struck the glass
