London, Aug. 8.-George AIDE remarked
recently: 'T should think an EngIishnan
would feel lonely in London these days"
| This describes the situation exactly, for
London today is a veritable imposition on
the friendly foreigners. most Of whom
are Americans.
The annual homeward rush has begun,
| and the steamship Offices in the neIghbor-
hood of Cockspur Street daily are filled
with anxious tourists eager to get
home only to be told in a majority of
cases, Sorry, but we are full up until
the end of September"
1t is strange that a large number Of
travellers wait almost until the last mo-
ment before going to secure return ac-
commodations: hence inevitable disap-
pointment and in some cases even more
serious results.
Mrs. Bradley-Martin wishes to be
known in future as Mrs. C. S. Bradley
Martin; that is Mrs Cornelia Sherman
Bradley-Martin. in order to be distin-
guished from her daughter-in-law, who
is now to be called Mrs. Bradley-Martin.
shooting" Il Costly.
Americans are still dominating the
Scottish shootings. a sport that exceeds
in cost any other. A host easily spends
$4,000 in two months, and the canny
Scotch landowners are profiting largely
by the American interest in grouse shoot
ing on the moors. They are renting
famous properties at fantastic prices.
Equally heavy expenses fan on the
guests, who must pay enormous tips to
gamekeepers and "gillies" and all values
have risen north of Carlisle. owing to
the American influx.
In the olden days, grouse shooting was
simple diversion, with lunch taken to
the moors in laborer fashion; under the
American system. lunch is now q mag
nificent repast spread at tables, with
champagne, salmon, game and other
delicacies on menu, while feet motor cars
are essential for every large shooting
party.

Special Cabe TO The Washington Herald
Sofia. August 23.-There Is an ex-
preston of widespread regret here
that a difference should have arisen
between Gen. Savoff, head of the Bull
garian Army. and Gar Ferdinand.
This great soldier, who is about TO be
stripped of his command, undoubtedly
will go down in history as the fore
most military genius of the Balkans.
1t was he who led King Ferdinand's
army to a series of victories unpar-
alleled in the history OF the Balkan
States. He all but succeeded in driv-
ing the Turk from his last lair in
Europe, and there are many who think
he would have accomplished this IL he
had not been interfered with. Gen.
Savotf is now blamed for the sweeping
defeat of the Bulgars at Kotchana,
where Ferdinand lost more men in
few days than in the entire campaign
against the Turks. Savo1 is held re-
sponsible for the defeat by ordering
his troops TO attack the Servians and
the Greeks. and 1t Is not improbable
that he will be compelled TO face
cOurt-martial.

RESTRA|NS c, D, COMPANY FROM
MAKING ADVANCE COLLECTIONS

President Willard of Water Company
No. was in town this morning and
states that he had written to Hunsaker
& Britt, Los Angeles attorneys, re
gardlnS the attempt Of the California
Development Company to collect wafer
rentals in advance and had received
letter from them saying in part:
"ln brief, it is our opinion that the
receiver has no right to collect COM
penSatiOn for water in advance of the
time Of payment specified in paragraph
vi of the contract of July 81. 1901: and
tilat the superior court cannot lawfully
authorize him to do 50; and, secondly.
that II the receiver should refuse to
deliver water except upon condition of
such payment in advance, the Imperial
Water Company No. 1 has the right,
under said contract. to possession of
the main or mains north of the inter-
national boundary which were con-
Structed by the California Development
Company, under paragraph vii OF said
contract, and to transport water
through the same which it might OBJ
tain from the Mexican company or its
representative or successor. But, also,
if the court should assume the power
to direct the receiver to collect pay
ment for water in advance Of delivery.
it would probably consider that il must
and should maintain the receiver in
the possession OF such main or mains
against any attempt to dispossess him.

remarkable celebration at Mountain
