EVENT CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT
IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES.

Cowes, Eng, Aug. 1.-The Russian
imperial yacht Standard. bringing the
Emperor ana the Empress from Cher
bourg to Cowes on visit to King Ed
ward. anchored in the Cowes roadstead
this afternoon. The Imperial visitors
were given an ofilcial welcome even
more imposing than usually attends
such important occasions.
Not only were King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales and large gathering of
the members Of the royal family pres
emit, but 150 OF the pick Of the British
war fleet. dressed in flags from stem
to stern and flying the Russian ensign
encircled the anchorage allotted to the
Standard.
The presence OF the British foreign
secretary, Sir Edward Grey, NJ. Iswol-
sky. the Russian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. and Count Won Benckendorff,
the Russian ambassador to Great Bril-
tain. further emphasized the. signifi-
canoe attached in the diplomatic world
to this visit Of the Russian Emperor to
England.
The unusual welcome OF this morn
ing was arranged designedly for the
double purpose OF helping to strength
en- the links In the chain binding Great
Britain, France and Russia in a triple
entente and dissipate any Ill feeling
engendered by the harsh denunciation
of Emperor Nicholas and his methods
so frequently vented by the members
Of the labor party both in and out of
parliament since the coming of the
Emperor was first announced. The
function, however. was distinctly off,
cial in character, and so strongly were
the immediate participants and spec

for popular demonstration ether for OF

DoTHAN DIVIDES
ON pROHI QUESTION

Dcthan. Aug. )--A
meeting held at the Foster street Meth
odist Church yesterday afternoon by
temperance advocates, was attended by
perhaps fifty citizens Of Dothan.
Several resolutions were discussed
and adopted, one Of which condemns
the move Of Leon McCord Of Mont
gomery.
Petitions were circulated on the
streets for and against constitutional
prohibition. which will be sent to
the legislators as soon as they are
signed.
It 10 difficult to say which petition
win be the stronger. as 1t IL known
thta both petitions have number Of
signatures already.
Dothan was conceded to be a strong
prohibition town until the last few
months, but II one must judge senti-
ment by the enforcement Of laws, there
is strong sentiment in Dotha nagainst
prohibition. II is almost impossible
to convict person here for the vio-
iation OF the production law.
1t was the sense OF this temperance
meeting that the fault was not with
the officers of the law.
