She scene around the Embassy 'was most animated. King Edward and President Loubet both arrived there with military escorts; and other distinguished guests drove up in handsome private equipages. A great crowd of people outside gave His Majesty an ovation. The King was met at the door of the Embassy by M. Loubet, who had arrived there a little earlier than His Majesty, Ambassador Cambon and the staff of the French Em bassy. As a. Compliment to the King. The Interior of the Embassy was pro fusely decorated. The white-walled ban quet hall was transformed Into a bower of roses as a compliment to King Edward. The table, which was oblong, was open at one end. M. Xoubet sat at the closed end, with the King on his right and the Prince of Wales on his left. The center of the table was a mass of heliotropes and rare orchids, flanked by silver can delabra. Overhead were massive Incan descent chandeliers, made more brilliant by numberless crystal pendants. The guests Included Premier Balfour, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, Foreign Minister Lansdowne, the United States Ambassador, Mr. Choate; the Spanish, Italian, Russian, .German and Turkish Ambassadors, the Portuguese Minister, Count Meusdorff, the Austrian Charge d' Affaires, Lord Roseberyt the Duke of Devonshire, the French Consul-General and the presidents of the French Soci eties of London. President Is Early Astir. President Loubet was early 'today and began an extensive round of functions, calling at the French Hospital, visiting the home- for French 'governesses, - The President returned -to St. James falaco itt about 10 o'clock. He was "greeted rvrftb great cordiality and cries- of "Vive Lou-vj bet;" In response to which he raised hls hat. A- reception filled up his time -until noon, after which time the President, ac companied -by Ambasador Cambron and Foreign Minister .uelcasse, started in semi-state' to visit the city. Long before the time fixed for his com ing the gayly decorated route was crowd ed with people and lined with troops the whole way, and, in spite of the cloudy sky; the uniforms, flowers, flags and bunt ing combined to form as bright a scene as London had produced in many a year. The bells of the city churches pealed a welcome to the visitor, and the presiden tial cortege as it" passed on was greeted with unmistakable cordiality. Shortly before 1 o'clock carriages con taining the Prince of "Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, preceded by Life Guards, drove up to the hall, "where the royal party joined the Lord Mayor, Sir Marcus Samuel; Premier Balfour, the Judges, Aldermen and others in awaiting the President Another detachment of Life Guards and outriders then rode up, and amidst a good volley of cheers President Loubet drove in In an open carriage beside Ambassador ' Cambon and wearing a high hat, -which he constantly removed, bowing right and left. The President jumped from the carriage, shook hands all round, and, after an address and the corporation keys had been presented to him, he proceeded to luncheon. The Notable Guests; The brilliant assemblage of guests be sides the notable French visitors, includ ed the Prince and Princess of "Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and other members of the royal family, the Cabinet officers, a number of members of the House of Lords and of the House of Commons, and Field Marshal Lord Roberts. After luncheon the Lord .Mayor toasted the President of the French Republic, In reply M. Loubet said he was happy to bring to the heart of the City of London a cordial greeting from the French people. "I Join heartily' he added, "in the wishes which you express for a cordial understanding between the two peoples, each of which, holds a necessary place In the history of civilization, feeling- that their common Interests should Inspire them with a spirit of conciliation which will serve the cause of humanity. The presence at my side, of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is a pledge to you for the 'value which the whole French Govern ment attaches to the development of these happy relations of friendship between our two countries." &c M. Loubet returned to' St. James Palace at about 3:30 P. M., and spent the rest of the afternoon In a round of visits to mem bers of the royal family. Opera ror the President. . The gala operatic performance given at Covent Garden tonight In honor of Presi dent Loubet was a scene of marvelous brilliancy. There was an unsurpassed display of jewels and customs, while the floral decorations were more magnificent than has ever been seen at a similar per formance In London. At 9:45 o'clock a guard of honor arrived, and a little later a salute and a roar of cheers announced the arrival of King Edward and President Loubet, who entered the royal box and stood bowing while the bands played the British and French national anthems. The King, who wore a field marshal's uniform, had on his right the. French President, with the red sash of the Legion of . Honor across his breast, and on his left Queen Alexandra.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 7. An Interest ing bundle of reports has Just been sent to President Haniman, of the Southern Pacific, which the Bulletin says will probably decide him to build the con templated extension of, the Columbia Southern by the Oregon 'Railroad & Navi gation Company In Oregon. This Is the road which it Is prophesied will one day meet 'the San Francisco & Eureka, now building north from the California North western terminus. The reports are based on investigations made by a party of railroad men, headed by President Mohler, of the Oregon Rail road &. Navigation Company, Including President Lytle, of the Columbia South ern, and chief engineers of the two roads, who carefully looked over the country for routes for feasible surveys. This trip was undertaken on the sug gestion of Mr. Harrlman, made at a con ference with Mr. Mohler In this city, and it is understood that they are of a very favorable nature. While It is possible the substance of the reports on the plan to extend the Columbia. Southern Into Central Ore 'gon have been cabled to Mr. Harrlman In Europe, the reports made by the officials of the O. R. & N. are understood to be In the hands ot William A Cornish, in New York. It has been expected that Mr. Cornish and his associates at New York would act upon the reports In the absence of Mr. Harrl man, but the possibility remains that the latter will be consulted before a final decision is given. The delay that has occurred in announcing a decision rather tends to Indicate that Mr. Harrlman may THE.

T. B. Wilcox, who has been an active worker In favor of the extension Into Central Oregon, has returned from the East, but Mr. Wilcox has not received any assurance of an early answer to the railroad question. He stated yesterday that an answer might be returned prior to Mr. Harrlman's home-coming In Sep tember. It Is the delay over the settlement of negotiations that railroad men are ob jecting to and the officials of the Co lumbia Southern are particularly anxious to end. The delay Is postponing con struction work in Central Oregon, and. if continued much longer would force the Columbia Southern to bulldlts extension to Bend during the Winter months. It Is believed, however, that construction work can be pushed in Eastern Oregon as well during the Winter as the Sum mer, but naturally the Columbia Southern objects to a delay that keeps It from the revenues of a well established line. It is not believed in local railroad circles that there is any intention on the part of the Harrlman Interests to Join the Columbia Southern and the San Fran cisco & Eureka. It would not be a difficult matter, though, to complete a line that would Join the two systems. Short Line Is Turned Over. SALT LAKE CITY, July 7. At mid night tonight that part of the Oregon Short Line Railroad system south of Salt Lake pity, was formally turned over to the San Pedro.

Since the first of the month, all the business of the road south of Salt Lake has been done under separate book ing, so the transfer at midnight Is but a formality. The work of pushing the road across Southern Nevada will be pushed with all speed, both from the Utah and California ends of the Salt Lake road.
