CHANCELLOR VISITS
 EMPEROR WILLIAM

Berlin. July N.-(Via London, 5.45 a. m.) The imperial chancellor. Dr. Von Beth mann Hollweg. today conferred with the Emperor at general headquarters. While the audience concerned other questions the American note also was under dis ousslon.
 Nothing tangible regarding the German attitude on the American communication is likely to be made known before the the note have taken place at the foreign office, and whether a reply will be made to the American communication seems in the meantime to be quite unsettled
 Some officials believe the American note closes the diplomatic discussions most thoroughly. Others think that a reply of some sort will be made and that the question of indemnification for Ameri- can lives lost perhaps will be suggested for reference to arbitration.
 This suggestion was under considera- tion during the drafting of the earlier notes, but If decided on almost will cer- tainly not be put into operation immedi- ately. One factor in this determination
 is the desire to await the outcome of the negotiations with England regarding in terference with American trade. The out come of this dispute, it is believed, is not likely to affect the general German submarine policy but the tone of the American note to Great Britain will be taken as guide in Interpreting the latest note to Germany. Officials believe that this Is decidedly brusque and not calcu- lated to aid in the settlement of the Ger man American difficult>s.

EQUIPPED SERV|ANS
 WATCHING BORDER

Rome, July 26-via Paris, 5:45 D. m.) Correspondence from Servian headquar- ters to the Messaggero confirms to a certain extent the report that Servia does not contemplate offensive operations for the present, although the Servian army now is fully equipped and compares favor ably with the other fighting armies.
 The frontier is guarded by French aero- planes and Belgrade is defended by six batteries of Servian artillery, and two each of British, French and Russian. The Servian army comprises 230,000 infantry.
 According to these advices the Servian government says that the time is not op- perfume for resumption of fighting, and that for the moment it is necessary for the people to have patience.
 It appears that the Austrians. however, are preparing for a Servian offensive A dispatch from Kraguyevatz to the Mes saggero indicates that the Austrians have constructed three lines of Qualifications along the Servan front.

 terested-which seem to be pronounced In advance of the taking of testi-
 m ony.
 "The department of commerce will
 welcome the fullest light from any

Stebbing, feeling that he has been
ungentlemanly, in self-revulsion
leaves her presence and goes back to
the slums.
The old bishop dies. and Barmore
and Stebbing are both named as can
didates for the bishoG-ic. The men
naturally cease to be friends during
the struggle for the two prizes, BIT
Stebbing himself tells the people that
Barmore is batter fitted for the ey.
allied position. Wharton's workmen
go on strike, ard Stebbing learns of
a dynamite plot against the works,
and stops it just In time to save
WhartoE's entire property from ruin.
though much is destroyed. He pleads
with Wharton to yield to his en-
ployee's demands but without sue
cess.
On the day Of the election cs bisnop
Stebbing leaves the church to rush
to the yards where he has heard
strikers are rioting. He finds that
the toughs among the infurlated
strikers have placed Margaret in a
shed in which deadly explosives are
stored, which are about to he set on
fire. He saves Margaret, and pre-
vents the militia from firing upon the
strikers, being himself nearly killed
N the struggle. The bishopric is
given to Barmore, but through these
circumstances the strength of Steb-
bing's character is revealed to Mar
garet, and she gives him her promise
as 1.-The better man."

the price. The Two end men-Billy
Zeitler and Billy. Lgbteli--were very,
very good indeed. Zeitler reminds
one considerably ol Bert Swor, one of
Al G. Fields best men. His manner
isms are very much like Bert's. HIS
singing of comic songs was excep-
tionally good The buck and wing
dancing of Lightell and Lightell was
about as finished piece of buck and
wing dancing as one will see in the
"Big Show" From beginning to end
1t was classy. The interlocutor, Jim
my Collins, had the poiso and stage
presence so necessary to position
of this kind. The piano playing OF
Miss Ida Clark, together with her
singing was one of the best parts of
the evenings pleasure Eddie Clark,
the tenor singer had very sweet and
clear voice, and his songs pleased the
audience greatly. Mrs. Jeitler in her
song and dance also scored a hit.
The entire little production, including
costuming and staging, was away
above the average for Tab shows.
Manager Pinkston is entitled to the
congratulations his patrons are show
ering upon him. He has an awfully
good show this week. that's certain.
