' COWES. Auk. 2. The first official visit
of Emperor Nicholas to England was one
of the most impressive spectacular events
that Comes, accustomed to naval pageant
ry, ever witnessed. Kin Edward, with
most of the members of the royal family,
put out today on the royal yacht Victoria
and Albert, and met the Imperial yacht
Standart and the squadron of warships
accompanying It. oft Splthead. Emperor
Nicholas immediately went on board the
British royal yacht, where he was greeted
by King Edward.
After luncheon, the Russian squadron.
with the Victoria and Albert leading the
way. passed along the British lines, the
monarchs reviewing the British fleet. The
Brllish had 150 ships aligned In three
files between Cowes and Splthead. 26
battleships, of which seven were Dread
noughts. 48 torpedo-boat destroyers and
submarines. Besides the warships, there
were hundreds of yachts of all types.
Deafening Salute Fired.
When the Russian squadron started Its
cruise of inspection the warships fired a
salute of 21 guns, which made a tremen
dous din. All the British bands played
the Russian national anthem and the
crews of both nationalities gave three
cheers for each other.
King Edward. Emperor Nicholas and
the Prince of Wales, and a number of
leaser officials were on the bridge of the
Imperial yacht Standart.
Crowds lined the waterfront for miles.
The yacht races lost their interest, as
every one was absorbed by the visit of
the Russian imperial family.
The measures taken to safeguard Em
peror Nicholas made him seem like a
prisoner of state when compared with
other royal personages who have visited
Cowes during the regatta week. The
Standart dropped anchor between two
battleships, which were surrounded by
other naval vessels, while stakeboats pa
trolled about the visitor.
Sleuths Watch Ciar.
Scotland Yard had 100 detectives at
Cowes. and the Russian police had an
equal number. The Emperor will remain
aboard ship during his visit, except for a
brief trip as host to the Cowes com
mittee Wednesday morning.
Three American yachts are in the
harbor.
The unusual welcome of this morning
was arranged designedly for the double
purpose of helping to strengthen the links
fn the chain binding Great Britain.
France and Russia In a triple entente
and to dissipate continual Ill-feeling en
gendered by the harsh denunciation of
Emperor Nicholas and his methods so
frequently vented by the members of the
Iabor party both In and out of Parlia
ment since the coming o the Emperor
first was announced.
The dinner aboard the Victoria and
Albert was brilliant. Besides the King
nl the Queen and the Emperor and Em
press, the guests were the Crown Prince
and Crown Princess of Sweden. the
Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught, Premier
Asqulth. Sir Edward Grey, Reginald. Mc

his own courteous suggestion, on which

have received a letter from the Navy De
partment in response to mine of July 28,
which letter assures me that the case
will go on as it began. This makes it
my duty to go on as I began and leaves
nothing more to be said.'

sumed either the latter part of this week
or the first of next.

geon Frank C. Cook, who are aboard the

Japan and China as to the status of the
former nation In Manchuria, Foreign Min
ister Komura submitted the entire mat
ter to the Emperor this morning. This
move had been expected before the end
of July.
Advices to the Hochl.- received today,
are to the effect that China is sending a
lange body of troops secretly Into Chienko,
but this report is not credited here.
The Japanese newspapers have followed
the foreign policy in China with keen In
terest, and some of them recently have
struck an alarmist note. It was expected,
said the Kokumin. the mouthpiece of
Marquis Katsura, that the withdrawal of
the proposal to refer to the Hague arbitra
tion tribunal the differences between the
two countries, preceded the adoption of
what was hoped would be a conciliatory
policy by China. The latter, however,
proposed terms considered by the Japan
ese government as wholly unacceptable,
and refused to comply with Japan's re
quest for reconsideration.

Cincinnati Man Named Presi

HASTY CHOICE NECESSARY
While Directors Would Have Pre
ferred to Postpone Election as
Mark of Respect, Quick Ac
tion Was Felt Needed.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug 2. Little more
than an hour after Harry C. Pulliam.
late president of the National Baseball
League had .been burled today. John
Heydler, of Cincinnati, secretary of the
league, had been chosen president in his
place at a special meeting of the direc
tors. There was some feeling, of which Presi
dent Charles W. Murphy, of the Chicago
team was spokesman, that It was in
delicate to name Mr. Pulliam's successor
at Uyjb time but the league's immediate
need of a qualified head was such that
the directors decided upon an Immediate
election.
The directors designated the remainder
of Mr. Pulliam's salary as president
during 1909 to his estate, and they ap
pointed a committee to select and have
erected a monument to Mr. Pulliam.
Not a game was played in the Na
tional or American League cities today.
A number of smaller leagues also called
off their games out of respect to Mr.
Pulliam's memory.
FRIEXDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE
Louisville People Cover Pulliam's
Casket With Flowers.
LOUISVILLE. Aug. 2. The body of
Harry Clay Pulliam, late president of
the National League, was brought back
today to Louisville, the city called
"Home," and from which he departed 12
years-ago to begin the rapid climb which
landed him at the top In the baseball
world. The coffin was taken to the
chapel of an undertaking establishment,
there to be viewed by friends.
It is doubtful if any man in official
or public life had more friends In Louis
ville than Mr. Pulliam. Humble printers
and employes about the offices of the
daily newspapers, the friends of his
youth, never failed to receive a call and
a pleasant word from him whenever he
passed through Louisville. In conse
quence the florists have been literally
swamped with orders from persons in
all conditions of life.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the body was
taken to the chapel at Cave Hill Ceme
tery, where a simple funeral service was
conducted by Rev. T. M. Hawes, pastor of
the Highland Presbyterian Church. Among
the honorary pallbearers were Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League; John A. Heydler. secretary of
the National League; John K Bruce,
secretary of the National Baseball Com
mission; President Dreyfus, of the Pitts
burg club; President Stanley Robison, of
the St, Louis club; President John Dovey,
of the Boston club; President Ebbetts,
of the Brooklyn club; President William
Shettsline, of tlie Philadelphia club, and
a number of men prominent In Louis
ville affairs.,
Of the S23S fires which occurred In Lon
don in 1908 electricity is said to have been
the cause of 101, and 355 were attributable
to gas.

' Large Dirigible Balloon to Aid N'avy J J
and Balloons and Airships for
Experiment Must Rise
, to Great Heights.
LONDON, Aug. 2. The subcommittee
of the imperial defense committee, ap
pointed to consiuer matters of aviation,
has given a verdict in favor of rigid
dirigible balloons for naval purposes and
non-rigid balloons for the army. The
aeroplane committee considers that these
machines possibly may become valuable
to the Army, but says they must be able
to ascend "to a much greater height than
has been achieved before they will be
safe for reconnoiterlng purposes.
War Secretary Haldane announced In
the House today that the Admiralty had
ordered a rigid dirigible of the largest
type from the Vickers, and that the gov
ernment factory at Aldershot was busy
with the construction of three non-rigid
balloons and two aeroplanes for experi
mental purposes.

NEW STATION FOR COALING
Navy to Develop City Point and
Abandon San Diego.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. The develop
ment of California City Point, seven miles
from San Francisco, as a general coaling
station for the vessels of the Pacific fleet
is favored in present plans of the Navy
Department. It will cost about $200,000 to
provide facilities for storing 100,000 tons
of coal.
The same policy contemplates the aban.
donment of any further Improvements of
the San Diego coaling station, which was
at one time seriously considered. City
Point affords advantages for coaling bet
ter than San Diego, it is said, according
to Secretary Winthrop, who Is considering
the matter.
Other projects in view are the estab
lishment of oil-burning stations to be lo
cated at Honolulu, San Juan, Guantana
mo and in the Philippines.
BRIDGE PLANS ARE READY
New Steel Span Great Improve
ment Over Old Structure.
Plans for the new bridge for the
Harriman lines across the Willamette
River, to replace the old Steel bridge,
are so nearly completed that the propo
sition will be submitted for its approval
to the Port of Portland Commission at
its meeting Thursday. Though the
matter has not been definitely settled,
the railroad will probably adopt a
bridge of the Waddell type, somewhat
like the new Madison bridge. It will
be a double decker, with the railroad
occupying the lower deck and street
cars and the general public the upper.
The lower deck is arranged to raise
snugly beneath the upper one by a
series of telescoping columns.
With such a type of draw, all but the
larger steamboats and vessels with
masts will be able to pass under the
upper deck.

Merchandise of Merit Only
An incident occurred in our store a few years ago that
has been an object lesson to us ever since ; to carry and to
handle none but first-class merchandise.
It is a good story, and, like a good story, ears repeating.
We received a consignment of merchandise' from a manu
facturer asking us to sell it for him, which we did. The
goods were cotton, of very pretty designs, but a grade much
inferior to what we carried in stock.
A week or so later a customer sought one of the mem
bers of the firm, complaining that she had made a purchae e
that had not given satisfaction. Upon inquiry she opened
a package and showed the goods described above. We re
plied that we were astonished that a lady of her good taste
and judgment would purchase such cheap goods. She re
plied that she was surprised that a store like ours would
carry such cheap goods. We have never forgotten this
incident.
