KAISER WILHELM II
ARRIVES IN PORT
Last of Big German Liners
Wins Race to Reach Har.
Dor in Safety.

With only her running lights show
ing, the Kaiser Wilhelm II, of the
North German Lloyd Line, the last OF
the large ships to reach port safely,
entered Quarantine about 10 o'clock
last night.
Due early yesterday morning, the
position Of the big vessel was a mys-
terry all day. For fear OF capture il
she betrayed her whereabouts by sig
mailing, as is customary with inbound
liners, the captain let the officers OF
the steamship company remain in ig-
norance of the time OF her arrival.
Relatives and friends Of the passen-
gers sought information, but were told
that there was no wireless from the
shin. Many feared she had been held
up by English cruisers.
On the Kaiser Wilhelm III are 250
first cabin passengers and a valuable
cargo. She left Cherbourg for Hoboken
July 29.
The first information that the steam
er WAS safe came from Fire Island last
night, when IL was reported that a
large passenger steamer, inbound,
showing only her red and green port
and starbosrd lights and the lights at
the masthesds, had passed. Later,
with all the decks inclosed in canvas
and the port holes heavily curtaineG,
the steamer dropped anchor at Quar-
sntine. She will go TO her dock at
Hoboken this morning.

MAY HOLD GOLD
ABOARD CECILIE
Steamship Company Puzzled
Over Return of Metal-Bank-
ers Lose $500 a Day.

Bankers who had gold on the Cecilie
and underwriters who had placed
policies on the metal felt much re-
iieved Yesterday when they were notl-
fed that the gold was safe at Bar
Harbor, but there remains a large
question as to when the owners Will
get their property.
The steamship company would Ike
TO turn the metal over at once, but II
will not assume any risk in doing so
by delivering TO persons other than
those holding its bills of lading. These,
made out to correspondents abroad, arc
in the mail sacks the vessel has in her
hold, and the duplicates are on the
ocean in other ships. These carry the
title to the money, and until they are
delivered or the consignors arrange
to protect the shipping company from
losses and claims, no one can tell when
the metal will be surrendered.
Many bankers interested in the
golden cargo FASTENED TO make IN
duiries of the Department of State at
Washington concerning the best meth
cd of recovery. The matter was turned
over to Solicitor Lansing for adjust
ment.
The insurance policies on the metal,
with one exception, and that was
written in London. do not cove.
losses of interest incidental to the I'M
usual delay. This is costing the own
ers of the gold about $l,500 day.
Those who shipped the metal SAID
Yesterday that as soon as the wealth
is recovered it will be placed in their
vaults and not returned to the Sub
Treasury for the present at least.
Meantime the lawyers are looking
into various phases of the matter.
Until it was definitely settled that
the ship and its contents had not pro-
ceeded to Germany suits were III prep
aration against the owners of the
Cccilie 70 recover the value OF the
gold and for losses incidental to its
conversion. The actual filing Of these
suits in the United States courts was
held back for want of definite news
and because OF a desire that nothing
be done that might further compli-
cate the situation.

WAR NO BAR FOR WHEAT
European Buying Continues
in Spite of Clash.

Chicago, Aug. 4,-European buying
american wheat in defiance of the
snaps Of war began to-day. British
government guarantee against possible
losses by ocean capture of any part
Of the millions of bushels previously
under contract TO go TO English ports
opened the way for additional purchas-
ing, notwithstanding that the guaran-
tee had not been formally extended to
transactions entered into since war was
declared.
Prices of wheat leapcd upward to
an extreme of 3ss cents a bushel and
closed strong with net gains of 2ia
to PCS cents. All the other leading
staples on the Board OF Trade Joined
in the advance. Both foreign and do
nestle investors appeared to believe
that the signing of the bill to put un-
der the protection of the American
flag all the shipping needed WAS only
a matter of few hours and that the
temporary financial strain here had
been relaxed.

The robbers gained entrance to all

safe the combination was broken and
the robbers were unable to gain ac-

At the Model Clothing company the

but no money was obtained, nor was
any of the stock disturbed.
