railroad services the density Of the
atmosphere caused chaotic disorganiza-
ton. on all lines with termini in Lon
don trains were delayed considerably.
The Mauretania special trains at Eus-
ton for Liverpool were unable to clear
the fogbound station until some time
after the scheduled hour of departure
Despite the full force of the electri-
cal Examinations passengers moved
about On the platforms like ghostN
spectres. and third portion only got
away half an hour late. One man.
however, had reason to bless the delay
which alone enabled him TO catch the
liner. This was Jacob Labe, of Phlla-
delphia. Travelling with his wife AID
son, he reached Harwich this morning
from the Continent. but found the
Great Eastern service suffering from
such DISCRIMINATION that to reach Eus-
ton by noon was impossible. The en-
CINE driver of the Continental Express
rendered every help in getting the train
through, and a fast automobile carried
the party across London, just In the
nick OF time to board the last portion
of the train as 1t was leaving the sta
ton.
No Delay at Liverpool.
Happily. the pail cleared some miles
ont of London, and the delay in arriV-
ing al Liverpool did not cause any
serious interference with the departure
Of the liner, which carried a full COM
plement of saloon passengers.
William A. De Ford, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney of New York, who joined
the train at Euston, said that so far
as he could say his mission to England
had been accomplished.
Julien T. Davies, who has been in
Scotland for a two months shooting
trip. commenting on the American po-
litical outlook, said he thought matters
were shaping we'll for Governor Will
sons election. although he had hoped to
see President Taft reelected. All
Colonel Roosevelt had done was TO rem
der President Taft's position very in
secure, without in any way improving
ais own. on general affairs Mr.. Davies
said many prominent Americans and
Englishmen, too, regarded the United
States as on the eve Of a great period
Of prosperity. The grand crops would
be followed by grand commercial times,
IN a
still fuller extent once the country was
tree from political turmoil. The pres
ent temporary check owing to the war
IN southeastern Europe and the unload
ing of securities in New York would
soon disappear. For that he had the
assurance OF some Of the best American
hnanciers. The present great crops
operate in ali ways for prosperity, for
it would give the railroads better
chance Unfortunately, he said, there
was going to be lack of rolling stock
with which TO move the crops, but even
that would do good by directing atten-
ton to the fact that the railroads have
not been encouraged TO supply them
selves with equipment or to make the
extensions which the country required.
Railroad extensions, he remarked,
must be made to keep pace with the
rapid growth il the country, and that
in turn would lead to further industrial
activity.
p. NJ. Faraday, the English theatrical
manager, is going over to New York To
see the production Of THE Merry
Countess" at the Casino Theatre, and
will also try to secure one Of the pres-
ent successful New York productions
for London. Mr.. Faraday said that in
an interview published recently in a
London paper he had been Incorrectly
, quoted as to some alleged words derog-
atory to American actors and actresses.
He particularly desired to say he had
the greatest admiration for American
artistes, and that this opinion was sin
cere and unprompted by his going 10
New York A grossly false miscon-
struction, he added. had been placed
upon his words
Daniel Guggenheim Optimistic.
Daniel Guggenheim, with whom are
his wife and daughter, spoke hopefully
y of the copper market. which he said
was in such a satisfactory condition
that the only trouble was to keep
prices normal and produce the supply
necessary to meet the enormous de-
mand.
Mrs Reginald Strong Ronalds, with
her daughter, Thora, was among those
who took the Mauretania train at Eus-
ton. Reginald Ronalds spent con-
siderable time on the platform chatting
with his little daughter.
