ESCORTED THROUGH STRAITS
 BY BRITISH WARsHIE
Mir. and Mrs. Wn. H. Shields Home
 From London on Steamer Minne-
 Maska.


 Passengers on the steamer Minne- waska from London. England, to New York. MT. and Mrs. William H. Shields reached the latter port on Monday evening at o'clock MT. and Mrs. Shields came on to their home here Tuesday evening, arriving on the T o'clock train and going to their home at No. 170 Washington street, glad to be back there after the ex- periences forced upon thm by tn Flu ropan war situation
 MT. Shields had been away since July 1st, but his wife with their daughter, Mrs. Henry S. Haskell of before MT. and Mrs. Shields had in- tended to stay until September 1st. while Mrs. Haskell had gone on to Germany. intending to spend some time in study there. It was strange coincidence that Mrs. Haskell, who sailed from Genoa or an Italian liner, morning and upon teiephoning to her brothers in Norwich found out that her parents were due In New York the same day. and after they had landed there was a happy meeting.
 MT. and Mrs. Shields sailed from London a week ago Saturday on board the Atlantic Transport line boat Min newaska, but their departure was not without considerable uncertainty even after they had boarded the steamer at the Tflbury docks in the Thames 1n Sunday. They were on board for 9 considerable time before the boat left the dock to drop down to the mouth of the Thames where they were held up over night by British war vessel and ordered not to go to sea until permission was given. It was measure of safety adopted by the government as no sailings take place except by order of the admir- alty.
 For two days after leaving the Thames they were accompanied by a British war vessel, which steamed along about or miles distant from them through the Straits of Dover and the British channel. Then 1t left them to proceed and ehey saw no more of any war vessels, either friend ly or hostile.
 freight carrier would have been a all the windows were blanketed, leav- showing, and If sighted in the dark 1t would have been impossible for any hostile war vessel to gain any idea of the size of the vessel from the few lights that showed. The boat makes the passage in about nine days. and carries only first class passenger list of about 300 people.
 The Italian boat on which Mrs. Haskell sailed was oyerhauled once or twice by British scout cruisers.

A DOZEN MEN
 TRANSACT cITrs BUSINESS.
Sso,ooo to Be Borrowed For Current
 Expenses and Interest on Bonds.


 That the city's finazces do not at tain by any means the importance and consequently the interest of the towns politics would seem to be eviden ki by the attendance at the city meeting on Tuesday evening called specially to sanction tthe borrowing of sums not tc exceed S3O. .on0 to pay the current expenses of the city and the intests falling due on bonds in September and october. The commodious benches of the ball were occupied by twelve men and the business was expeditiously transacted in about six minutes after Mayor Murphy called for order at 8 o'clock. Clerk Moore read the call and the mayor said the reason for calling the meeting was that the sey- eral departments had spent ssoo0 more than at thi stiIne a year afo. and also that the interest on Stony Brook due last year in November, Is due this year in September. The amount of money borrowed at the annual meeting is no; sufficient to meet the expenses and the interest.
 This resolution was offered by Cor poration Counsel Tanning:
 Resolved, That the borrowing of such sum or sums, not exceeding fir the aggregate thirty thousand dollars as may be necessary to pay the cur rent exL< lses of the city and the in- terest on bonds which falls due in September and October. 1914. Is hereby sanctioned: and the court of common council is hereby authorized to ap- proiate the moneys borrowed in pay ment of such expenses and said in- terest; 1t being understood that the sum or sums borrowed under this authority shall be repaid upon the col- lection of the tax payable October 10, 1914.
 The resolution was thrown open to ballot and one ballot was cast Yes. Corporation Counsel Tanning cast it A motion to Adjourn was in order and Corporation Counsel Tanning made 1t. Then the gathering filed out silently, after session entirely harmonious.

 The boat left on it's schedule time with 1000 passengers on board. All the trip across the passengers were shut out from all news as the wireless operator refused to give out any in- formation or to take any messages.

 All outside lights of the steamer were extinguished at 10 o'clock at night and the smoking room lights were dimmed somewhat, but there was no covering of lights with canvas.
