PHIL JEREUX
 IS AT REST

Philip Jereux died at his cabin on Campbell avenue last Friday night. For a day or two it was apparent that the end was near, and the attendants never left him, although he got up and walked around not more than two hours before his death His illness was dropsy, from which he had suffered for more than year.
 Philip Jereux was born at Three Rivers, Quebec, and at the time of his death was 54 years old. He possessed in remarkable degree the sturdy quail ities for which French Canadians are everywhere noted. After spending the earlier years of his life as timberman in the region of the Great Lakes, he joined the early rush to the klondikc and since that time had led the life of a prospector. His activities extended over large scope of country on the Canadian and American sides of the line. His honesty and independence of character gained him friends everywhere.
 The funeral was held Saturday even ing. Father Feron conducted the serv ices at the Catholic Church and large number of friends followed the remains to the cemetery. The pallbearers were: John J. O'Brien, Henry Robeson, Win. Leske, A. J. Campbell, H. A. Stockman and E. P. Allard.

A search for Priolas assailant was I'M

GREETED IN ENGLAND
A Quiet but Cordial Welcome
in the British
Capital. =.
PRESENTED TO THE KING
Sees Body of Edward VII-Calls
on Royal Personages-The
Party Guests of Am
bassador Reid.
by Cable to The Tribune. l

London, May 16.-Mr Roosevelt has
been received with exceptional honor and
courtesy in England as the special rep
come began at Queenborough, where
Sir George Neville and two royal equer-
ries greeted him, and was continued at
Victoria Station, where three royal car
riages were waiting for the Roosevelt
party. The American Ambassador and
Mrs. Reid, surrounded by the embassy
staff, gave Mr.. Roosevelt a hearty
American welcome and carried him off
to Dorchester House
The ex-President still has a slight
cough, which he says, however, is not
troublesome. He looks well is elastic
in his movements, and greets his oldtime
friends with his characteristic energy
and vivacity. Ambassador Reid had
made, all arrangements for him in adj
vance, and in the course of the morn
ing took him to Marlborough House,
where he saw both the King and Queen,
remaining over a half hour.
During the day, accompanied by his
family, the ambassador and the en-
bassy staff, he visited Buckingham
Palace to witness the lying in state. He
also received and returned many calls,
seeing the Duke of Connaught at Clar-
ence House, the Duke of Argyll and
other royal personages.
The arrangements for the funeral
pageants are not completed, but the spe-
cial ambassador is not likely to appear
in to-morrow's procession, although he
may visit Westminster Hall dusing the
afternoon. He will probably drive in the
procession, and not appear on horseback
in a coloneTs uniform.
The special embassy staff, reinforced
tonight by the arrival of Commander
Long and Major Mott, will be completed
on Wednesday by the arrival of Henry
White as diplomatic delegate
Mr. Roosevelt was deeply impressed
with the memorable sight in the Throne
Room, where the purple draped cata-
falque was in front of the altar erected
on the spot usually filled by the Throne
Chair With the magnificent pail used
at Queen Victoria s funeral, with lighted
candles and white flowers on the altar.
with the historical crown from the
Tower on the coffin, and with the
soldiers posted at each corner of the
catafaIque, it was a solemn spectacle,
worthy of the splendor of great reign.

SAVING MONEY FOR CITY
Fine Showing Made by Reforms
of Controller Prendergast.
FIRST QUARTER OF 1910
Reduction of $17,829,500 in
Borrowings and Saving Of
$4,000 Interest.

A reduction of S21 SD, $50 in the
amount of money required to administer
the city government, and a consequent
saving of $4,000 in interest chaSes
during the first three months of the
present year. as compared with the
corresponding three months of last year,
is the story told by the city's cash ac-
counts of the efforts of the new admins
tration to introduce sound and efficient
business methods into the management
of the citys affairs during its first quar-
ter of year in office.
This reduction consisted of ST, S29,-
800 less revenue bond borrowings and
So, 9S5. 1897 less expenditures upon budget
appropriations.
The transactions OF the various groups
of accounts which reflect the actual cash
income and outgo of the city treasury
show that the cash receipts applicable
to defraying the cost of city govern
ment, exclusive of those received from
the sale of revenue bonds. during the
first three months of 1910 We're SD
sos. 79S. as compared with S11,951, 6SS
received for the same purpose in the
corresponding period of 1909. The ex-
penditures on the other hand during
the first three months of the present
year, exclusive of the amount paid out
for the redemption of revenue bonds,
were only S34 49,, O4O. as compared with
S37, 443, 316 for the corresponding period
in 1909 Thus, while the receipts APP
plicable to defraying the cost of city
government during the first quarter of
1910. exclusive of revenue bond borrow
ings. were S1,377,110 greater than the
receipts for the same purpose during the
first quarter of last year, the expendi-
lures. exclusive of revenue bond re-
demptions. were $2.60S.276 less during
the first three months of the present
year than they We're during the CORE
spending period of last year
Runs City s3,985,ss7 Cheaper.
This Increase in receipts and reduction
in expenditures means a decrease in the
cost of administering the city govern
ment during the first three months of
the current year, exclusive of revenue
bond transactions, Of S3.9s5,3S7. as COM
pared with the corresponding period of
last year. The best evidence that this
reduction is due to administrative man
agement is TO be found in the fact. that
the budget authorizations in 1910 are
greater by S6.5s3, 122 than We're the
budget authorizations for 1900
Another evidence OF the saving effected
In conducting the city government dur
ing the period is to be found in the de
tails of revenue bond transactions Dur
