MAURITANIA TAKES ALL.
Holder Of Eucry Ocean Record
Beats Sister Ship Seucn Minntes.

The Cunard liner Mauretauia arrived here last
night beating all records across the Atlantic.
She beat the phenomenal westward run the
Lusitania made last week by minutes,
and had IL not been for the poor coal taken on
at Liverpool Captain Pritchard probably would
have cut fun hour from the Lusitanias rec
ord The Mauretanla is now the holder OF all
ocean records.
The Mauretania passed Daunts Rock at
1915 4. m. on Sunday. just fifteen minutes
later than the Lusitania passed on tho previous
Sunday. Tuesday night she encountered fog
and feet Of fishing boats of the banks OF
Newfoundland. This caused her 70 cut down
her fast speed for three quarters Of An hour.
The stokcrs worked haai. but the bad coal it
was said. made Il slr1u.< Impossible for them
10 give her much OF a margin ever the Lusi-
tania.
The inability Of the captain 10 get the speed
out Of the big hier with the poor coal at his
disposal was demonstrated on the run from
noon Wednesday TO noon yesterday. The
weather conditions could not have been moro
favorable. The sea smooth an absolute
calm prevailed and there was no fog yet the
big liner made only Gil knots-the poorest days
run She covered the 27S3 knots from light
ship to lghtship In days II hours and 81
minutes at an average speed of 23S7 knots.
Her best days run, made between noon Mon
day and noon Tuesday. was 65S knots, which
is II knots under her and the worlds rec
ord days run
Captain Pritchard said last night that he
would not retire as soon he had contem-
plated.
The Mauretania became a Thursday four-day
ship last night by landing her passengers at
1:40 O'Clock.
The passengers on the Mauretania were en-
thusiastic over the fast Several business
men spoke Of the great cutting down OF the time
between New York and London by way OF the
recently established stop Fishguard The
fast service of the Great Western Railway which
carries the Cunarder's passengers from Fish

NERVOUSNESS IN LONDON.
No Serious Decline IN Stocks Er-
pccted. HO7OeUer.

London, Sept. 10.-E III. Harriman's death is
made the leading feature of many of the London
newspapers which print portraits and long
tiCes on his career. The news of his death
came too late to gather the opinions of leading
British financers. but the general opinion in
financial circles is that the disturbance of the
stock market here will be only temporary and
slight, persons even thinking that there
may be an upward tendency in prices.
There has been a gradual dwindling of mar
ket values during Mr. Harriman's illness and
as the speculative commitments in American
securities have been small in London. the effect
of his death has been largely discounted. Ger
tainly, no serious collapse is expected To-day,
however, is the concluding day OF the fortnishtly
settlement, and many rumors are afioat of diff
fcuties in the American market. owing to the
recent decline in prices. According to one
run,or it is asserted that a powerful syndicate
is being formed to support prices, according TO
another. one of the big operators is in trouble.
A feeling of anxiety, therefore. prevails.

A., B. & A. TO TAKE
 TURN FOR BETTER

New Orleans, March 19.-H. M. Atkinson and s. F. Parrott, the latter president of the Atlantic Compress company of At lanta were this afternoon appointed per- manent receivers of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad. Judge Pardee sitting as the United States circuit court, announced shortly after the noon hour that he would sign whatever order the attorneys would agree upon.
 A recess was then taken and during the interim the attorneys who have rep resented both sides in the proceedings be- gun for the appointment of new receivers agreed upon Messrs. Atkinson and Par rott. MT. Atkinson is already one of the receivers. MT. Parrott will succeed Pres ton S. Arkwrght, vice president of the road.
 In his letter of resignation as a receiver of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, Vice President Preston Arkwright said his action was taken following an agreement with the bondholders who sought his re- moval that they would put up all the money needed to complete the road and make desired improvements. This means that the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan- tic will soon become one of the most val uable properties in this country.
