Particular care had been taken not to mar by undue decoration the beauties of the interior of Dorchester House, but flowers of every kind were used In pro fusion . In banking the bases of the mas sive columns and railings of the grand staircase. Over the main entrance, which overlooks the Stanhope Gate en trance of Hyde Park from Park Lane, a marble eagle looked upon the ar riving guests, who on entering passed between banks of flowers to the head of the stairway, where they were received by Mr. and Mrs. Reid and presented in turn to King Edward and Mr. and Mrs. Longworth. Mrs. Longworth Beside King. -Dinner was served in the main dining hall, which contains many valued paint ings,' for which Dorchester House is fa mous and which no scheme of embel lishment could improve. King Edward took out Mrs. Reid, but by the King's desire Mrs. Longworth was seated at the other side of him, thus taking prece dence of the Duchesses. Ambassador Reid escorted the Duchess of Marlbor ough,' with the Duchess of Buccleuth on his left. There was less formality than at purely English functions attended by the King, who was technically for the time on American soil. Dinner over, King Edward received the Embassy staff, who did not attend the dinner. They were Craig W. Wads worth, Grant Smith, Major John H. Beacom, and Lieutenant - Commander John H. Gibbons, accompanied by Miss Gibbons and Miss Carter. Concert and Supper Follow.

This was served at separate tables under a pavilion erected over the north garden, which was overlooked from a picturesque portico, a very pretty effect being produced. King Edward presided over one of the tables, at which there were 15 guests. To reach the pavilion, the guests passed through a long marble hallway lined with flowers to a portico, around the columns of which clung grow ing crimson ramblers starting fronwamld great bed of flowers, giving the appear ance of an immense conservatory. Throughout the great hall and reception rooms of the mansion opportunity waa given the guests of mingling freely and engaging in informal conversation. Some very striking costumes were worn by the ladles. ATTACK SAILORS ON SHIP (Continued ram P&ga 1.) cLsco Monday night to load lumber for a return trip.

KILLED BY ANGRY WOMAN GIRL'S DEATH ATTRIBUTED TO MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE. - Cuts and Bruises on Body Causes Charge of Manslaughter Against Mrs. Kauf fmann. SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. June 12. A sensation was caused here this after noon by the arrest of Mrs. Moses Kauff mann, wife of a wealthy brewer, on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the .death of Miss Agnes Potreis, who was employed as a domestic in the Kauffmann home. The girl died several days ago and was buried at Parkston, her home. Believing that her death was due to unnatural causes, interested persons had the body exhumed and examined by five physicians. On her head and body were found numerous cuts and bruises. It was discovered that her lower limbs were swathed In clothes, and when the band ages were removed the flesh had the appearance of having been scalded. This is alleged to have been due to attempts to revive her after she had been beaten into unconsciousness. It is alleged that the girl died as a result of beatings administered by Mrs. Kauffmann, and that these beating were due to Mrs. Kauftmann's inability to con trol her temper. Mrs. Kauffmann was arraigned before the local Justice of the Peace, but the hearing did not progress far before adjournment. FIREMAN ATTACKS WIFE Bluffs Off One Officer, but Is Ar rested by Another.

She went up Stark street, but when crossing Fifth she saw her husband running toward her. i , With a scream Mrs. Holtz fan Into the little restaurant on the corner, with the drunken man directly after her.

FIRE SHIPS AFLOAT Great Conflagration on Har bor at Baltimore. DOCKS AND STEAMER BUFW Barges Laden With Inflammable Freight Take .Fire and Drift Across Harbor, Endanger ing Whole Water Vront. BALTIMORE, June 13. Fire at an early hour this morning destroyed the Savannah docks of the Merchants' & Miners' Trans portation Company, the Bteamer Essex of that line and six freight barges loaded with cotton, rosin, etc. The damage in dicated will be at least J500.000. The flames originated from some un known cause ' aboard a mud scow moored against the steamship dock and the latter was very soon a mass of flames, fed by the Inflammable freight with which the building, over 600 feet long, was stored. The fire leaped to barges freighted with cotton and rosin, that were moored near by, and these were set adrift as quickly as possible. Some of them floated across the harbor to the south side and greatly endangered the lumber yards there. The steamer Essex, of the Merchants' & Miners' line, caught and was soon a mass of flames from end to end, and though she, too, "was set adrift, a rosin laden barge alongside her made It Impos sible to save her. The scene of the fire, at West Falls avenue and Block street, is in a part of the harbor backed by very extensive lumber yards, but the direction of the wind Indicates that Jhese will not be destroyed.- i At 3:10 A. M. the fire at the docks Is apparently under control, but the blazing buxtres that have floated across the harbor are burning fiercely, and the firemen are making heroic efforts to prevent the flames from spreading to property on that side of the harbor. The present Indications are that the damage will not exceed $1,000,000. The burning hulk of the Essex floated across to the southern side of the harbor, endangering vessels in Beacham's ship yard, especially the new four-masted schooner Salisbury. Tugs and fireboats are playing on the flames and will appar ently prevent the Are from communicating with the property on shore. At 3:4t A. M. the flames on both sides of the harbor appear to be under control. The crew of the Essex, numbering about 40 men, is said to have been on board when the Are broke out, but It Is impos sible to ascertain whether there were any fatalities. The Savannah clocks are said to have been crowded to the roof with valuable merchandise. All of this, the steamer se, her cargo and the barges with their cargoes are totally destroyed.

Tobacco Trust Officials May Be Sent to Jail. REFUSE TO PRODUCE BOOKS Grand Jury Asks Judge Lacombe for Decree Evidence of Corner Which Created Monopoly of Flug Tobacco Business. NEW YORK. June 12. The Federal Grand Jury today asked Judge Lacombe to adjudge in contempt William H. Mc Alister, secretary of the American To bacco Company; William E. Ransom, sec retary of the McAndrews & Forbes Com pany, and John S. Young, of the John S. Young Company, of Baltimore, for hav ing failed to produce certain books and records as cited in subpenaes made re turnable June 4. The argument asking for the punish ment of the alleged recalcitrant witnesses was made by Special Assistant Attorney General Henry W. Taft. brother of Sec retary of War Taft, who is in charge of the Government's- investigation of the tobacco trust. Mr. Taft argued that the books which the witnesses repeatedly failed to produce, in particular the letter press copybooks of the McAndrews & Forbes Company, a subsidary corporation of the American Tobacco Company, which contain the preliminary arrange ments for the 'cornering." not only in the United States but practically in the whole world, of licorice paste, an article used in the manufacture of plug tobacco. Many minor and Independent companies, he said, were forced out of the plug to bacco manufacture business through their inability to obtain this paste, which, he declares, is monopolized by the American Tobacco Company. Counsel for the accused claim that the books contain personal letters. Judge Lacombe suggested that the let terbook be produced before him and said that he would examine it and determine what portion of it was material. PUT ALIVE INTO TRUNK Bruises on McVicar's Head Said to Have Been Caused by Action. STOCKTON, Cal., June 12. The trial of Mrs. Le Doux, charged with the murder of A. N. McVicar, proceeded slowly to day. The cross-examination of Dr. Lat ta, one of the autopsy surgeons, was con cluded, and Dr. J. P. Hull, who also as sisted at the autopsy, was called. He contended that the blood found in the trunk flowed from McVicar while he was still alive, and that the bruises on the head were ante-mortem bruises. Coroner H. E. Southworth, who was present at the autopsy, was positive in his declarations along the same lines. Dr. Southworth stated that the bruises upon the head probably took place when the body was dropped into the trunk alive. The prosecution regards this as a strong point, the defense having sought to show that these bruises were caused by mov ing the trunk about. Paul Jones Ideal Fighter. . ANNAPOLIS. Md., June 12. After the Board of Visitors to the Naval Academy was officially received today the portrait of John Paul Jones, painted by Mrs. Ce cilia Beaux, was presented to the academy by Colonel Lauchheimer, of the Marine Corps, on behalf of the graduating class. Secretary' of the Navy Charles J. Bona parte said: "John Paul Jones was, first of all, a fighting man; and in this he was eminent ly successful. He did not win high honors along any other line. The honor which is now being paid his memory indicates. I think, the country's appreciation of fight, ing qualities, and that it will always ap preciate them. "The American people must keep the standard of the fighters as high as that which any race can show. To get such men, it must treat them as such men ought to be treated. You, gentlemen, in thus reminding ub of the needs of our first great sea warrior, have aided to make sure that we have a Navy able to defend a great country, and a country worthy to be guarded by a great Navy."
