GEORGE To HOLD
BRILLIANT COURT

London. July 29.-In spite of King
Georges wcll-known dislike for dis
play, it is believed that he will hold i
court in November when the period Of
deep mourning is over, and that It
will be brilliant one, though a com.
parativcly small affair. Those who arc
closely connected with tho affairs Of
the royal palace say that not moro
than 1000 commands will be ISSUED.
Already the greatest anxiety and Gu.
riosity are being manifested as TO who
will be among the chosen. There arc
many hostesses who have no hope
whatever Of being included in the
new Kings lists, and they are taking
the attitude Of jeering at the coming
court; but there are others who arc
doubtful and consequently are keeping
very quiet until they find out Just how
they are to be placed in the new court
set.

Magnate Was Here to In
vstigate the Graham !
Proposition. s
rs MANY TIME
A MILLIONAIRE
Refused to Talk and Nothing
Definite Regarding Visit
to Bluefield.

Col. III. "A. Marting OF Ironton, Ohio.
president of the Marting. Laurence
and ironton Iron Companies, and sey.
cral times n millionaire left last night
after visit which II is believed had
to do with the purchase and opera
ton of the Graham furnace. Col Mar.
ting said that he was here for purely
business reasons, and IL was generally
supposed that he was making arrange
ments to place orders for coke for his
plants, but later Developments lead 20
the conclusion that his purpose was
TO investigate the iron proposition at
Graham. Col. Marting stopped mt the
Matz hotel but he did not register and
avoided publicity as much as possible
Moreover, he made trip to Graham
on the street car, and while nothing
definite can be learned regarding H.,
object. the supposition is that he was
looking over the situation.
The secrecy surrounding the mis-.
sion the visit TO Graham, and Col.
Marting's refusal to talk have led peo.
pie to believe that there was another
object In view than looking after the
coke supply for his plants. While all
this is more or less speculation, not
only Graham but Bluefield as well
hopes that 1t has foundation In fact.
Col. Marting, as has bene said is
many times "A millionaire. He Is
largely engaged in the manufacture OF
iron, and until short time ago was
prominently identified with Ohio poll

AMERICANS ARE
SAILING HOME

London. July 29.--The early home.
going or several prominent American
politicians, several of whom sailed for
New York this week, calls attention
to the fact that number OF prominent
faces have been missed in London this
year, and although stress OF business
and other excuses have been offered
by the well.known visitors as reasons
for the failure to make their annual
European pilgrimage. Il is generally
believed here that their anxiety for
their political future prompted their
remaining at home
Although London has entertained
several prominent men intimately con.
rected with American politics. they
cannot be called active politicians. ex.
cept In few notable cases such as
Senator Depew. William j. Bryan and
General Woodford. Colonel Roosevelt,
had not defined his position when he
was I'm England. so he is not regarded
owe rhere as typically American In
his political interests; his concern *
rather worldwide and London is look.
Ing forward to the series OF articles
which he is reported to be preparing
which will more fully explain his
views of European politics than ne
has hitherto expressed.

ITS INSURGENTS

London, July 29.--Parliament has
its insurgents as well as tho United

ber of young Liberals who seem to
have acquired an American impulse to
react now and then. Particularly are
they displeased, just now, with the
list OF honors recently showered upon
n number of more or less deserving
Englisnmen. They are unable to un.
derstand whv Liberal Government
that is supposed to want to reform or
to abolish the House of Lords should
have been so lavish i'm the distribution
Iof titles, including seven peerages.
Some OF the insurgents have only been
induced to refrain from asking awk,

Guilty. One OF them, however, more
rabid than the rest threatens to pub
tlish pamphlet telling the horrld Sc.

ey Is obtained by the party whips.
